He means the world to me you have no idea...

(wanted to post this as an extra for the Valentine's day drawings, but could't have finished it on time X,l)

[Also lil' rambilng about the man under the cut hehe]

Even tough I love and adore all my skrungly wunglies so much, there's something about Sans that none of the other blorbos can do and it's that he would be the only one who could actually get to know the real me/ my true-self (I sound crazy lmao but if you know what I'm talking about/mean here you'll get me).

Like, with the other blorbos I HAVE to make self-insert "ocs" trying to make stuff up so it makes sense in the timeline or the story of the media (yeah, even though it doesn't look like it I do that when selfshipping but I never post about it lmao), but here with Sans I can fully insert myself y'know? Also the fact that literally the game is aware that IT IS A GAME makes it easier to trully feel yourself as your own character there, taking part of everything and making interactions a bit more personal.

All that stuff, the closeness you feel and imagining this man accompanying me through so many things makes him so important for me, like a good old friend that you've known all your life, even like some sort of personal guardian (even tho his ass canonically is lazy as fuck to be something like that, but he did have that promise with Tori to protect Frisk/the player after all, right?).

To sum up, I love this man so much and he will always mean everything to me ;;w;; <3<3

i am not a marvel fan. i am a stevebucky fan. in my heart and mind it is still 2015 when all the fanfic writers contrived 100,000,000+ good and satisfying endings to steve and bucky's story, post-catws. those are all canon to me.

Maybe I’m just a notoriously cranky gay lady or something, but there’s something really weirdly funky about how an officially published reference book like today’s DC Book of Pride comes out and without much fanfare has some curiously sanitized edits of many important character’s histories.

These histories are often messy and difficult, but being honest with them serves two purposes. For one, the characterization and history in-universe of the character are built off of those things, you don’t understand things like Hartley Rathaway’s decisions and quirks without knowing how being gay and negative reactions to him being gay shaped him.

On the other hand it’s also vital many times to real life queer history -- these stories become little parables of the struggle of this community over time. We become attached to these characters and stories because through the mess and the pain, we see our own struggles and capacity for triumph. Kate Kane being kicked out of West Point for living her truth, Renee Montoya going through the harassment and terror of being forcefully outed -- those aren’t just the character’s stories, those are our stories. We get comfort and encouragement out of them.

But maybe even more importantly and downplayed right now because it’s all but hidden inside the text of the reference book itself is the fact that they have, out of nowhere, seemingly completely retconned the family history of Alan Scott, Todd Rice, and Jennie-Lynn Hayden. 

Alan was not aware he had children. Their mother, without Alan’s knowledge, put Todd and Jennie both up for adoption. They both endured a lot of trauma and pain as a result that completely altered the course of their lives and, especially for Todd, is VITAL to understanding his character and behavior once the narrative picks back up with them in their teenage years, when Alan finally meets them. 

It’s also, by the way, why they all have different surnames. 

But apparently, out of the blue, this reference book has decided to inform us that this history no longer exists? This is DEVASTATING for Todd’s history in particular. I’m not sure how to reconcile this?

idk man. If you’re going to be a reference book, maybe make sure you’re clear about what the continuity of everything is first?

the "i chose her bc i knew we'd never be friends" to "wanna watch a movie with me" pipeline goes insane

[bitter-hibiscus]

read all of the issues with Rena in it for my fic except I forgot that DC doesn't like it when women have personalities or last names. I could've not checked anything and still have written a perfectly fine characterization of her because SHE HAS NONE

Hot take apparently but I don’t think landos delusional to renew his contract with McLaren. If we compare the development of max and redbull to Lando and McLaren a lot matches up. Yes Lando hasn’t gotten a win yet but McLaren has been investing in lando since he was 17/18 years old. They’ve taken on his development and helped him and he’s a phenomenal driver now, whether it’s his tire deg or the way he barely has crashes and costs. I feel like people forget that McLaren is landos team he is building that team up like max did with redbull. He finally (hopefully) has a car fighting for a win especially since Lando and McLarens car last year was the closest car to the rb19 and max. Anyways ln4 for 2024 pookies 🫶

Sometimes Miraculous Ladybug does things that look dumb but that I enjoy anyway because the characters are fourteen. Like Alya’s blue camo supersuit? I think it’s hideous. I think it looks terrible. BUT. “I’m a stealth superhero now so I’ll change my costume to a camo print because it’s stealthy!” is such a middle school thought process that I can’t help but love it anyway

Feeling bits and pieces of Lana & Rena's story fall into place these past weeks/months since I've started to re-think about them is so satisfying.... I really wanna find something better than the first/old version of their dynamic ! (I don't blame young me, I didn't know any better back then haha) There's still a lot of weird spots and events & changes to figure out (especially their order of arrival) but it's so so fun thinking about them again aaaaa, I missed my messy girls so much

[sharenalovemail]

alright! sorry for the delay, adhd ate every thought of mine this past month oTL

i realized it's easier to just keep the polls to tumblr instead of redirecting to a different page so im gonna ask some questions again lol (thanks for everyone who did vote on the google forms thingy though!)

im currently leaning towards june or july for this one - before august when the brave alts will drop and attention will be on alfonse, but giving enough time for people who prepare. but if people prefer another date ... that's what this poll is for!

the plan would be to announce prompts at least a month in advance (i.e. april if may wins) or maybe even two if it's preferred + time allows

If I had a nickel for every time the drummer from an anime based off a 4koma manga about highschool girls forming a band became my favorite character... I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Forgot to share it before, but I got another blorbo plushieee- aaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! ( o >w<)o <3<3<3<3

(yes, I give my plushies goodnight kisses, they deserve it ò///ó)

Finally, I have at least one piece of merch of my main blorbos! :,D (Mike plushie is not official but who cares, he's perfect anyways <3)

Also random storytime moment: when my dad saw me with marketable plushie Mike he was cooking some kind of bread (питка/ pita) and said that he would try to draw him on the bread and he actually did it! (he said that he gave him one antenna because he thinks that Mike is an alien). In the meantime, when my mother saw him she couldn't stop laughing saying “His face, he just looks so silly” X,D

Ok, so. The Rammstein concert from Budapest 07 July 2023: I presumed the setlist would be the same as the last year so Rammlied and Bestrafe mich were a fucking suprise (“Wer wartet mit Besonnenheit” damn right, this was the lucky third attempt to see the guys and it worked out for me in the end), I didn’t see them that well because I was quite far away but I could admire the amazing light and fire show, everytime the towers went off I felt like being near a big ass firecamp, the whole stage structure was fucking amazing

and did I mention Bestrafe mich??

The only way this could have been even more perfect would have been with Laichzeit and Mutter on the setlist as well and my Top 5 would have been complete!

And! Before the concert they had a playlist over the speakers with their own songs and I did get to hear both Amour and Eifersucht<3 They are not that well known and obscure enough to suprise me again, even if it was just a playlist.

This is not to mention the insane amount of screaming and headbanging I did. I actually couldn’t see half of the show because my hair was always in my eyes XD I almost brained myself a few times with the metal handrail in front of me, that’s how hard I headbanged!
