AHA I learned how to make home made pins (which are stored on this piece of foam for now until I can get or craft a display to put them on)

Some came out warmer tinted than I intended and a few of the Chica cup handles broke but I had fun with it. I applied a sealer to protect them from weather and water but might switch to resin, but resin is also expensive so depends. I might sell these in sets but the ones with some errors will be b-grade discounted obviously. I have other designs as well but haven't tested those yet

I've listed my The Thing products! For now they are only available on my Big Cartel shop (because of Etsy's fees) I have a t-shirt, tote, button, sticker, and bundle of them all. I currently only have 10 total bundles available so grab one now if you want one. Thank you guys! Hope you enjoy! :-) Please reblog if you can. I know quite a few people wanted these BIG CARTEL SHOP

i've been thinking about this a lot. but i need to shorten my muse list drastically. with the work outside of rp that keeps piling up, i don't have the energy to tend to all of my characters equally. which is unfair towards those waiting for their replies/messages/etc. over many months. not to mention that i don't even get to write down all the headcanons, which are spiralling in my head.

so these are the ones i will keep:

anouar, aventurine, eris, evren, foenix, heimdall, slavoj, songbird and vincent

for easier execution, i will move to a new blog ─ and turn this one into an archive (temporarily), eventually deleting it. i'm aware of the starters i won't be able to reply to because of this decision and i hate to do this when you guys have spent time and effort on them. if you do choose to follow me on my new blog, i can offer you a new starter with a new muse!

apart from this, consider the blog on a mini hiatus. until i have set up everything and can post another update.

again, i am truly sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. in case you want to get a private update/receive the link in the dms for whatever reason, feel free to let me know. of course, you have every right to break mutuals from this point on and there will be no hard feelings, i promise.

what if, one match while jamie's being a prick, winding up the opposing team like only he can, one of the guys on the opposite team takes their frustrations with him too far and takes a swing at him, making contact with his face before anyone can stop him. jamie goes down, and some of the richmond boys are pulling the other guy away while some stay behind to check on him. I'd imagine jamie would get taken off the pitch to get checked out, since it's a hit to the head. what do you think roy's and keeley's reactions would be?

When it happens, it happens quickly.

It's the third game of the season, and Jamie’s in rare form. Has been ever since training resumed after the summer break, really, somehow bringing his very best great teammate game and his prince prick of all pricks game to every match. Once he’d needed a signal; these days he just knows when it’s time to pass the ball and when it’s time to bear down on the goal like fucking Nemesis.

Like something’s settled in him, slid into place.

It’s fucking gorgerous to watch, Roy thinks, nodding approvingly as Jamie slides the ball back to Sam with a deft twist of his ankle.

Unsurprisingly, today’s opponents do not agree. It’s an even game, 2-2 with only ten minutes left to go, and when United takes the ball off of Bumbercatch and initiates their own attack (fortunately ending in the ball going over the sidelines and a thrown-in for Richmond) that’s when Jamie decides it’s time to kick things up a notch and go full prick. Roy watches him jog up to United’s Westerly (whom he has been more or less been running circles around the entire match) and mutter something to him, grinning in that way that used to drive Roy up the fucking wall (still does on occasion), and Westerly—

—fucking swings at him, and before Roy can fully process what is happening Jamie’s down on the grass and players from all over the pitch is running over to hold Westerly back and hold Isaac back as he charges at Westerly and the sound of the whistle is shrill over the roars from the stands and there’s the red card and Sam and Dani are both kneeling by Jamie’s side as the rest of the two teams are either getting all up in each others faces or trying to pull each other away and Jamie is not getting up and—

Roy doesn’t realize that he’s moving before a firm hand on his arm holds him back. “Can’t go on the pitch, Coach,” Beard cautions. “Medic will check on him.”

Truthfully, Roy isn’t fully sure if he was moving to check on Jamie or to punch Westerly in the balls, but Beard’s calm voice cut through the red mist somewhat. He takes a deep breath, calling on the exercises Dr. Fieldstone has had him practising for the better part of the summer. They don’t help much, perhaps, but they do help.

The medical staff is already making their way over to Jamie and thank fucking God he’s rolling over on his back and seems to try to sit up only Sam’s holding him down. Looks like there’s blood on his face but if he’s moving then he’s not fucking dead, is he, or paralyzed and Roy doesn’t need to throw his career away to run over there and break Westerly’s fucking neck even though he can already imagine how fucking satisfying the sound of it snapping would be and—

Roy closes his eyes. Breathe in. Hold. Breathe out. Hold.

Football is a contact sport. Getting knocked down is all part of the game. Emotions run high during a match, all that adrenaline, and fuck knows Roy’s been fouled more times than he can count. He knows, too, that Jamie can take a hit as well as anyone – but that wasn’t just rough play gone a little too far, that was a deliberate fucking punch to the face and this isn’t fucking ice hockey, is it, that shit is not fucking on.

Even so, Roy’s surprised to realize how angry he is. After all, he’s punched Jamie in the face himself, and that wasn’t even half a year ago.

That was different, somehow. For one, Jamie didn’t need to be led of the pitch and sat down on the grass just a couple of meters away from Roy as Nate tells Roberts to get warm and is it really déjà vu if you know for a fact just what the situation reminds you off?

His phone buzzes. He pulls it out, mostly for a distraction while the medical staff try to stop the nosebleed and check Jamie for concussion.

A text from Keeley. Is he okay???

Before he has time to even begin typing an answer, she’s calling him, and he can’t not answer, can he? Not when he understands how worried she must be, stuck far above it all in the VIP box.

“Hey.”

“Is he all right?” She sounds breathless, tense.

He wonders if that ought to make him jealous. It doesn’t; if anything, it feels good that they’re in this together, just like it had back in Manchester when they conspired (badly) to bring Jamie out of his funk.

“I don’t know. I mean, he’s not fucking dead.” It comes out harsh, but he trusts that Keeley knows him well enough to know why.

“Are they not telling you what’s going on? You’re the fucking coach!” Harsh, but he knows Keeley well enough to know why.

“Have to let the medical staff do their job first. They’re still checking him out, can’t fucking crowd them.”

Jamie’s still sitting up, at least, and while he looks a little dazed he seems responsive enough to the medics’ questions. One of them glances over their shoulder at Roy, which Roy takes as an invitation to move over.

“Hang on,” he mutters into the phone before turning to the medic. “Well?”

“The nose isn’t broken,” she tells him. “We can’t rule out concussion yet, though, so he’s not going back out there. Besides, he’s still bleeding.”

Jamie looks like he maybe wants to argue but thinks better of it. Roy doesn’t know if that has anything to do with the quelling look he gives the younger man. I’m fine with him playing hurt, he’d told Ted not long ago, but Beard had had a point then, hadn’t he? And Dr. Fieldstone, too, when she’s gently but persistenly questioned how well pushing himself to just keep going through any and all pain had actually worked out for him.

“Yeah, okay,” Roy says, acknowledging the medic’s verdict with a jerk of his head. He glances over at Nate, who nods and motions for Roberts to go on.

Then Roy turns back to Jamie, only to find Jamie looking up at him, his face and shirt a mess of blood and dirty smudges.

“How are you feeling?” Roy asks. “Keeley wants to know too,” he adds, holding up his phone to demonstrate.

Jamie smiles a little at that, and Roy feels something in his chest loosen. “I’ll be fine, Coach, Keeley,” Jamie assures him – them. His voice is almost completely steady.

Roy nods sharply. “Yeah, you will.” He reaches down to squeeze Jamie’s shoulder, once. “Great playing out there today. It’s no wonder that fucking arsehole punched you, because there’s no other way he could ever have put a fucking stop to you, yeah?”

He’s rewarded with another smile, slightly bigger this time, and then the medical staff move to take Jamie away and Roy is walking back to the other coaches, speaking into his phone: “He’ll be all right. Might have a concussion, though.”

Keeley lets out a long sigh, almost like a sob. Roy can hear her tell Rebecca that Jamie’s going to be fine, and then she’s back in his ear, fear giving way to both fury and relief: “I’m still taking my stiletto heel to that fucking wanker Westerly if I ever get the chance. Do you think we should go to his place after the game, or should we bring him to mine? Jamie, I mean, not the wanker.” When Roy doesn’t immediately answer, she adds, “We have to watch over him, right? Make sure he doesn’t fall asleep or play video games or something?”

“Don’t think you actually have to do that,” Roy says, but before she can protest, he adds: “But yeah, of course we’ll fucking watch over him.”

Of course they fucking would.

Being a Gen 5 fan and seeing countless people being so negative about it feels exactly like this image

[eonars]

my dad saw my new ragana longsleeve and was like "salmon AND lucifers?? how lucky can you be??" and also helped me print off a midnight themed crochet pattern i made while being like "why is everything always ROTTEN with you guys, all rotten all the time huh" and advised on proper upside down cross placement when i was painting my jacket. my mom was really curious to see what i got from the metal market thing i went to over the weekend and when i showed her this red coffin shaped pin with yet another inverted cross in the middle of it she was like ooh pretty and described my POST NUCLEAR SCUM wasteland riders shirt as "aww this is cute you should wear this more" because it's yellow like im sure SOME of you guys are only doing this to stick it to your strict parents but i always find it so jarring and strange when people assume that about me

Regarding the Twolegplace Culture Expansion hiatus

To summarize for those who may be in the dark about it: My Twolegplace Culture Expansion was a series of posts that covered my attempts to properly flesh out different Twolegplaces that we see in the series, stemming from my liking for the Kittypets.

So around month back, an ask that I had gotten from one of my mutuals mentioned the Twolegplace Culture series of posts. I had answered with a sort of “summarization” as to why the series has been put onto a long hold, and I feel that the same also somewhat applies to my wc rewrite in general.

It’s unfortunate that I’ve come to this at the moment: But the series won’t be continuing

Well that’s only half-true. We can more accurately say it’s on a very, very indefinite hiatus.

When the series of posts started gaining traction I was super excited to start working on more stuff for the Twolegplaces and during this phase I had written a few rough drafts and outlines for some big posts:

A revamp of the Demonios post (What the Twolegplaces call evil demons)

Epochs and Eras: Chelford (A huge history post about Chelford’s history)

Recipes and tools

Dogs and other city-dwelling animals

Bloodclan, Skyclan, and Warriorclan

Marriages

Figureheads of the Chelford Raids

Patrons

The Flickering (Ghosts that haven’t moved on from Earth)

A Molly Named Johnny (A cat’s adaptation of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”)

But I ended up slowly losing that steam through a bunch of shit: School, personal life, decreasing motivation, and comparing my posts and rewrite to other rewrites. The latter one especially just made me feel like total shit and made me feel like I was being a total hack (Didn’t make it better when I got an anon hate about its quality). Coupled with my real life, I slowly started losing motivation about it.

Writing for these posts became absolute chores and not fun anymore for me and I stopped caring about it all together. “A Molly Named Johnny” from the previously mentioned list was a last effort that I just wanted to get out already.

Of course at some point I felt a bit dejected from how little attention that the posts were getting but it blew over pretty quickly. In terms of the rewrite I had, the last one was the Tom Fate post, which itself is also tied to Twolegplace Culture. I decided this one was going to be the “last” one because it was something that I considered to be a good “sendoff”.

I say that the series is on a very indefinite hiatus because I’m still unsure if it’s a project I even see worth going back to and continuing. And I feel that way even more now seeing as I’m trying to balance College and writing/drawing for Bug World No Mercy, a new project of mine. Right now I’d rather put more thought and effort into that story than try and expand upon an already existing one, especially when so many other people have been doing it for longer to a much larger degree.

I keep repeating myself but the project’s status is an indefinite hiatus, but I unfortunately wouldn’t hold out hope that the project will be continued any more.

(long negative rant, be aware)

I think i'm starting to pinpoint one of the biggest reasons I can't really connect with the plot of botw and totk anymore 😫 and it's because I'm really tired of the "peaceful world whose entire source of conflict can all be pinned into a single, cartooningly evil individual/organization" trope

I'm rewatching some fire emblem playthroughs, another series who relies on that plot narrative too much, and it's exhausting to me 🫠 I thought that totk was a step down from botw plot wise, but it's really Nintendo's incapability and refusal to evolve and to make stories more complex than bog standard "evil always falls and light destroys darkness" kinda stories

[indigosabyss]

I would very much like the idea of a fic of Bruno being pseudo-adopted by the Khans from a young age and the way it would shape his understanding of their culture and such matters. And I would write it. But I have never met a white person so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
