the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

You ever think about how Farigiraf is the same height as Arceus?

it's been exactly a year since the last chapter of Operation Walburga's Arbitrary No Kissing Ever Rule and I still miss it. This scene is probably one of my favourite things I've ever written and I've wanted to draw it for forever, so now seemed like an appropriate time

currently thinking about the phrase ‘insanity (or stupidity if you prefer) is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

are you ever hit by the realization that sometimes you are so much more important to another person than they have ever been to you

and i don't mean this in a self-centered way, or talking about pets or anything. i just

i have a friend that i've known for a couple of years now because we go to the same college; I'm a couple years older than them and I'm only still here because I went straight into grad school, they're 2 class years below me and still working through their undergrad. and this friend is moving away in a couple days at the end of the semester for family reasons. they're moving to a city about 4 hours away for a few months before moving up to a completely different state on the other side of the country, and they'll still have some family down here by me that they'll visit occasionally but there's really no telling if I'll ever see them in person again

and like. i do consider this person a friend, but. we were casual friends for a bit, and they asked me out on a date once a couple years back and that shook me so much (that was the first time I'd ever blatantly been asked on a date, and it made me so uncomfortable because i do not want to date and I also didn't realize they saw me that way) and ever since then I've kind of. not kept them at arms length, but I've always sorta been highly aware that they asked me and it shook me and I can't forget that whenever we interact for some reason? and after I told them I'd rather be friends than date them they were cool with it and we've stayed friends. and they're also talking to someone else now relationship-wise. but anyway all that to say. we met up today to go hang out a little and get boba because they are, as mentioned, moving away, and when I came to drop them off afterwards I expected hugs goodbye, but they spent twenty minutes hugging and crying on my shoulder, because I meant that much to them.

they told me that i was the first person they met on campus when they arrived (i was the RA working the front desk of the dorm hall, and chatted with them as i checked them in and told them where to find their room). i know they did ask me out, but we stayed as friends after i (tried to) gently let them down. we videocalled and played amongus games online during the height of covid, when they went home after the campus allowed that for that semester or two. i was one of the first people they came out to as trans/nonbinary and ace. I've always seen them as a friend but they spent twenty minutes crying on my shoulder because they said i was going to be one of the people they missed the most when they moved away, and i didn't realize they thought of me that highly, and i didn't expect that, and i just....

I'm feeling a really big Emotion right now and i don't have the words to describe it. i don't know. I'm definitely going to miss them, and going to try to stay in touch, but i realize that they're going to miss me so much more than i miss them, and i know I'm really not the best with emotions but I'm feeling something about that that i just can't describe

i dunno. guess I'm shouting into the void a little bit here but i needed to write this down somewhere to untangle it all, and this friend doesn't have my tumblr and never will, so i guess this works. idk. not my normal art or shitposty stuff but i had to tell this to somebody.

emotions are hard, y'all.
