Myka: Somehow I don’t think Artie will be convinced but know that I support your pursuit for hazard pay, one hundred and ten percent…

Helena: I had very few doubts.

Myka: …even as your room sits completely sealed off with caution tape from the last explosive idea you had.

Helena: Hm. I suddenly have a couple extra doubts.

Everyone taking the Steamboat Willie design and making it do things Disney wouldn't sanction like....

you could have done that anyway. Disney would not have sued you for that. He didn't need to be in the public domain for you to do that.

Disney would have had a problem with you if you tried to sell Steamboat Willie. Not that you made him swear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Public Domain is about being able to sell your version of the character, not "do whatever you like with it for free". You could do whatever you like with it on the internet anyway, you will not face consequence. Just as long as you didnt try to make money off of it - no one was going to come after you.

you know as someone from the southern US I am fully in favor of kiwi authors using the slang they want to use in their writing. I do say y'all on a regular basis and I hope everyone imagines my ocs with texas accents forever. all that said. to my dear friend carl who stopped "rustled your jimmies" from being a thing. I am sending you a bouquet and a fruit basket

okay this scene is making me emotional in multiple different ways right now

in a sweet way because the knowledge that he used to use his magic to keep her warm when she was little, and did it enough for it to become her nickname, is absolutely ADORABLE

but also in a sad way because like. okay, in my experience, when you're a little kid:

when your parent who is pretty much always cold to you does something to hurt you, of course that sucks. but you're like "yeah, of course that happened, they're just mean like that."

but when your parent who is sweet to you sometimes, who has proven themself *capable* of warmth, does something to hurt you, it feels 3x worse. it feels like a betrayal. sometimes you might even wonder it it was because of you

so here we have alador, who kept her warm, who she looked up to. but who neglected her and helped his wife abuse her.

and i doubt it was a flipped switch that happened one day to change him from "good dad" to "bad dad". i even doubt that it was a linear development from good to bad.

i doubt that memory in understanding willow was an isolated incident. he'd probably hurt his childrens' feelings multiple times long before he was forced to really withdraw from them. and in between those incidents, he was probably pretty sweet and kind to them.

and when you're so young, you have no choice but to accept that kindness. you're evolutionarily hardwired to seek out the care of a parental figure. so you run back into their arms even though you're scared they're gonna betray you again.

and amity STILL seemed to care about him, at the older age of 14 when you don't have such an instinctive pull to seek the care of an adult, after all that he'd done and after barely seeing him anymore. her whole goal of joining the tournament in reaching out was to feel close to him, even though he hadn't started to redeem himself and she didn't trust him enough to accept a hug from him.

so she'd probably been really hurt every time he sided with her mother. and him pulling away was probably really painful. and she's probably dealing with so many complicated emotions as she starts to trust him again, even with the proof that he's actually improved and won't hurt her again

ouch

ive been wanting to do a full playthrough of all the dragon age games with my canon girls and get my canon set up all nice and neat before dreadwolf comes out but thats hard because. my canon has morphed so much from what the games ALLOW you to do. i have two wardens. hawke has two love interests simultaneously but her true love is someone you cant even romance. rosie is the closest to inquisition canon but i have extensive ideas about what her post-Inquisition life is like that i just know dreadwolf is gonna mess up. wahhhhh

me hearing about someone or something being queerphobic in some way and wanting to know what happened: 🤨☕

me when the "queerphobic" stuff in question is just people being supportive of contradictory labels and other identities that most people don't understand, and the drama is just exclus people complaining about harmless stuff again: 😒🫗

Lotta explosions in this story tbh

[goldensunset]

trainersona be upon ye! i don’t presently have a name for her yet but i have plenty of personality thoughts. i think from the moment i created her i thought ‘she looks like she’s really genuinely trying her best to be friendly but accidentally always comes off as kind of snobbish because she’s never had any normal interactions with people her age’. lol. she’s deeply caring but also definitely very blunt with her words. (i am firmly convinced that in canon the protag of this game is actually the most bizarre person in paldea btw)

[chaotictomtom]

finally back home time to do once more hot pockets to eat in front of startrek it's all that i can think about

[anthropwashere]

This is not a stress vent but a petty vent but could it kill my roommates to let me know when they’ll be gone a whole week BEFORE I text them totally unrelated questions?????

[cappurrccino]

my brain, at all times:

Ah yes, my favourite time of year: the time when we figure out what the hell to get my grandma for her birthday

Realizing how many things I have to do this month

the positive reception of my latest DN musical art is making me happy... more people than usual are directly telling me they liked it and what they like about it, which is really nice
