#none of my art makes any sense

set post-never let me go (fic)

(forgot to mention but masky is using ASL here, the exposed hand was originally intended to be drawn doing a "wasn't me" sign (or the closest translation) but i forgot completely until posting this)

one thing that really fascinates me about alex is his devotion to art – and more specifically, how he chooses to get some inspiration from scientific works of what he aims to implement in his art. every time one gets to examine some of his lyrics, or even how he explains these lyrics in an interview, they can be greeted by some bits of actual scientific information. an example is how he named his taquería on the moon with the term “information-action ratio”, coined by the critic neil postman, and referenced it in the song four out of five, something that might also indicate an interesting articulation with postman's concept. the line “cute new places keep on popping up”, for example, can express his well-known sardonic discontent regarding the flood of information being generated and transmitted over and over and, as much as it seems visually appealing and does give the idea of benefiting from advanced technologies, it doesn't really add anything substantial to the receiver's critical thinking – and worse, it distances the information receiver from the sender in a communication channel, according to postman.

what i'm saying with this interpretation is, it's known that alex is enamoured with the idea of gathering a bunch of references and condensing them into a mixture of metaphors in his writing, but it's so thrilling how, at times, we can find some bits of science inside of it – and it's even more exciting, just like playing a puzzle game, to find these references and analyse them by doing a similar research to what he did to create his works.

What the hell happened to their asshole coworker??

Someone told me to draw Bug in the hatchetfield universe and then i saw somebody using this meme and i just had to do it for myself. anyway. invasion of the bodysnatchers but the alien is like the sweetest guy you ever met. (i like to imagine ted is somewhere on bugworld, sobbing on the ground while surrounded by giant bugs)

Kara and Alice from a fic I’m writing 🚀

Even more mongus, because @crinklytinfoil​‘s fics live in my brain rent-free :)  Everyone else, if you’re into super dark space trauma times, head on over and read their fics, but take care to mind the tags. Like...for real. Mind. The TAGS.

In case tumblr forks up the quality, here’s the full-res comic.

Anyway, this happened because Black got mentioned in the latest chapter, and I’m sure he would LOVE to know what Brown’s been up to in just the last few days.  And by ‘love’ I mean lose his marbles completely. All while Pink tries to mitigate the situation with diplomacy and an abundance of cautious support, because, hey, Blue used to be a space pirate, too, and they turned out just fine, right???  Obviously Brown knows what he’s doing.  ...Obviously.  (Oh, those two new impostors he’s with?  ...I’m sure they’re fine.  He’d kill them if they weren’t, right?  Right.)

I have no idea why or even if Brown would contact Black again, but the concept wouldn’t leave me alone, soooo yeah, here it is.  In all its goofy glory.  Conveniently ignoring the fact that Black’s testimony on the Skeld disaster might have had some bearing on MIRA’s horrendous decisions after the fact, thus leading Brown to a life of crime and impostor threesomes.

Don’t mind me, I’m just internally crying at how unfairly that whole mess shook out.  <:)

Black: I broke protocol and took an escape pod because no one believed me when I outed the two impostors, but I later helped kill one of them and now I have this awesome supportive boyfriend who totally isn’t an alien or anything, no way, no how, that’d be crazy.

MIRA: We’re promoting you, cuz you did a Good Job :)  Enjoy your cushy new job and wonderful Human Boyfriend :)

Brown: I’m severely traumatized and physically disabled because the impostor that Black helped to kill put me through like five months of literal hell.

MIRA:  We’re charging you for it, hell isn’t cheap :)  Enjoy your mountain of debt and lifelong Indentured Servitude :)

Just.  WOOF.  I didn’t need my heart or anything, lmao

🐰 (You are so sweet and friendly, but gah, the fact that you create so many wonderful things, art, fics, etc, just blows my mind and I can't believe we're moots ♥)

Naff. Naff.

Without you I definitely wouldn't have (had, for past stuff) this much fun creating things! I'm so normal about all you come up with, and I just needed to show that because just gushing in comments wasn't enough!

Glad the intimidation doesn't go further than that though - or else I'd have to chuck some uno reverse cards at you! <3

[euclydya]

we've only been awake for like 2? almost 3 hours i think and in that timeframe we've almost teared up multiple times bc we r So Happy To Be Alive And We Want To Live And Experience The World And We Are So Joyful And Excited For The Future and I'm just like WHO the fuck is co-con rn.* What the fuck. What the fuck is going on**

(*i know exactly who's co-con rn)

(**This is one HELL of a period that's what's going on)

when i was in college, i was high. the sentence usually ends there but one specific time when i was high, i wandered into a gym on campus with some friends. we saw 4 guys in skinny jeans playing basketball and we said hello. they asked if we were going to the show later tonight and we were like "uhhh no probably not, we just wanted to play some basketball" and they were like "oh cool, yeah let's play"

so i'm not like, an athlete in any sense of the word. neither were my friends. but these guys were clowns on the court—and i don't mean harlem globetrotters. i'm talking pt barnum. these guys could not ball. they all had boots on and one of em was wearing a tight leather jacket. so i think we won purely because we were wearing leisurewear. my friend makes this joke about how our liberal arts college is undefeated in pickup basketball and none of them laughed. we played to 21 points, said goodbye, and laughed at dinner about those weird guys

those weird guys were Kings of Leon and they were playing a show in on campus that night for some reason. i heard their set in the far distance, muffled through the window of my dorm room as i was playing Animal Crossing

that was 2014 and it's been downhill ever since for the band

i am what happened to Kings of Leon

[diewilderonja]

It overwhelms me that I have so many regrets and no idea how to deal with it. Like I just don't know what to make of my life and what steps to take next. But I can't even claim it's just one big adventure of wandering around till I find my way. Because it's not even an adventure.

[poltergeist-coffee]

thinking about my slime and juanaflippa designs… slime gives the bra’ad sash to flippa because she liked it and it became something like a comfort item for her…. debating if i give it to code!flippa or not…

piece about having body dysphoria because of being a system and not identifying with the body and also dissociation from that

[pomefioredove]

may I please request Headcanon of the overblot gang + Adeuce when a reader that’s normally very sweet and shy goes absolutely apeshit and TEARS INTO some bully, absolutely roasting the hell out of them please? Thank you :3

of course anon!!

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ going apeshit!!!!

type of post: headcanons characters: riddle, ace, deuce, leona, azul, jamil, vil, idia, malleus additional info: romantic or platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu

being the magicless newcomer makes you a favorite target for some of Night Raven College's less kindly students.

your loved ones know this, too, so when a group of brutish first years approach, they're ready to defend you. except...

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Riddle had seen them coming towards you and already had his hand on his magical pen

how stupid of them to pick on you in his presence

a week or two without their heads would serve them well

but before he can even step between you and the ruffians (very gallantly, I might add; he had it all planned out in his head),

you just...

...oh

even he blushes at the profanity you spew

he didn't even get to scold them

...then you turn back to him with that same sweet smile as if nothing had happened

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Ace had actually been the first student to get an earful from you

once at the beginning of the year, and never again

now, he takes great pleasure in watching you verbally eviscerate the other students

it's a... guilty pleasure, we'll say

and Deuce knows not to intervene

he tried... once

after all, he's been in your place before

nothing's better than the feeling of putting some snob in his place

BUT OF COURSE, that's the old Deuce

...he just lets you go on because he knows he can't stop you

...not because he's enjoying it. obviously

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

and here Leona was, thinking you were some helpless little herbivore...

but can you blame him?

you're always so... cute

skipping around Savanaclaw, all happy to be helping out Ruggie and Jack after practice...

you were bound to run into trouble, looking like an easy meal

he almost feels... bad for you...

but before he can step in and tell the freshies to buzz off, you...

damn, you've got a mouth on you

you switch up real quick on them, and they scamper off to go lick their wounds

color him impressed...

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Azul was on his way back to the dorm when he heard you shout

you sounded... upset

and as much as he would like to, he can't just walk by and let you get bullied

damn sympathy...

so, he follows the sound of your voice, ready to intervene... on...

...nothing

a group of embarrassed freshman run past him, scattering in the opposite direction

he steps around the corner

and there you are, perfectly fine, if not a little winded

...of course

and he didn't even get to be your hero... tch

"Always full of surprises, aren't you? Just don't give Floyd any of those new words to use,"

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

it's none of his business... it's none of his business...

until it is his business

Jamil wouldn't have come running to your rescue like some prince

but he is in the middle of a civil conversation with you!

how insulting! honestly!

those freshmen must take him for some kind of witless fool

just this once, he'll teach them not to disrespect him...

of course, he doesn't even get a word in

he's never seen anyone so...

so...

...brutal

your insults are poignant, your tone sharp and dangerous, your usage of puns perfect...

you're like a work of art

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Vil has no problem with putting others in their place

and he has a particular dislike of the brutish, arrogant students at NRC

he can actually sense their unwashed presence in the hall before he sees them

one little snide comment and...

...oh...

oh, my

you verbally tear them to shreds, insulting everything from their shoes to their posture, their cowardice, even their own insults

...goodness

he's going to have to have a talk with you about your language later

but, for now...

...he's enjoying this little performance of yours

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Idia starts the most heated discourse over his faves and biases online, but this is different

this is real life

and the second he can feel a shift in the atmosphere, he's hiding behind you

you can handle it yourself, right? you've done it before!

honestly, he has no clue how you deal with the normies at this school

delusion, probably

he'd die if anyone talked to him the way they talk to...

...NEVER MIND!

you're using words he hasn't even heard in real life

even he is freaked out

you can get real scary when you want to, huh?

...maybe he'll just stick with you for now...

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

poor Malleus

he actually kinda sorta wanted to defend your honor...

he could be your fairytale prince!!! he could!!

it's the gentlemanly thing to do, anyway

and, better yet, he wouldn't even have to say anything! just one glare from him and the perpetrators would run screaming

...the one benefit to his reputation

but, of course,

you are not as innocent and weak as you seem

and he can't help but feel... impressed? with your ability to defend yourself

after this is all over, he'll have to joke that you should join his guard
