I am approaching this wicked musical the way you would approach a wounded tiger you're not sure will attack you or not
#i have no idea where this will go#I have a bad feeling tho#idk how they can incorporate#much more of the Wicked book into the musical#without it getting really messy#the easiest things to include#would've been like#making Fiyero black and having the other party character#and like#more dr dillamond#and more madame morrible#idk#idk what they're doing#i can't wait to see ariana grande's glinda tho#it'll be interesting for sure#but I think popular will be fun with her

Phil and Orange 🧡🧡
(Feat. Dan)
#with the Halloween baking I couldn't not include the whole conjoined jumper which is why there is also a Dan#that's the whole joy of that outfit#It was a time finding orange#Thank god the wad livestream happened and he wore orange#it got its whole own line#it is his outfit at different stages so they are slightly different#that now gives me a rainbow of Phil#but I will for sure be doing more of these because god I love doing them#I started planning a dan version of some of these#but we will see how that goes cause dan and colour may not be the easiest thing#I also don't know if white qualifies as a colour#I mean I did do black so maybe I do a white#dan and phil#dnp#danandphil#danandphilgames#amazingphil#dan and phil games#dnp gifs#my gifs#Phil and colour

Morse's other favorite accessory...
Yeah, he really loves his notebooks, but then there's also this:
The Jag used in Endeavour is currently owned by Anthony Gilsenan who has information about the car—including how you can hire it— at his website.
According to the Gilsenan:
"Actor, Shaun Evans, who played the lead role, took to driving UFF 325 like a duck to water.
Filming was in Uxbridge, Rickmansworth and Wargrave and of course Oxford - long days, up to 13 hours at a time!
There were no major issues whilst filming, only to make the car look less shiny - this was achieved by spraying with lots of Pledge polish and a mix of dust and water - much to my dismay; it took ages to clean off!"
#itv endeavour#endeavour morse#shaun evans#gilet slay saturday#with no gilet#but with accessories#including very large ones#like the jag#which apparently evans loved#but said was not necessarily the easiest thing to drive

Im gonna need your like, whole musical rec list, bc literally every song you have posted has not flopped once, give me your faves i need to eat them
OUGHHH YOUVE UNLOCKED THE BEAST ARGSHHFHJDF....
in the interest of making this both easily accessible but not stretching the dashboard, im embedding bandcamp links when i can, otherwise linking to youtube when unavailable
in no particular order, inclusion based mostly on what im still actively into LMAO but also just things you should give a go at least once:
list of artist recommendations
zeal and ardor: described as a mix of african-american spirituals and black metal. try devil is fine, you aint coming back, wake of a nation or church burns
bloodywood: indian folk metal, literally nobody is doing it like them. recently featured in monkey man (2024), try chakh le, yaad or dana dan
stromae: if youve never heard any of his songs WHAT ARE YOU DOING..... incredible lyricist, described as a blend of hip hop/electronic. papaoutai made the rounds on tumblr a while back, but you should also try santé and l'enfer
alamat: pinoy pop. a youtube commenter described them as sounding like 2nd gen kpop which probably also explains why i took a shine to them LMAO, notable for the amount of filipino culture on display and the diversity thereof (singing in different languages, themes). first heard them thru kasmala either here or on twitter lmao, try aswang or maharani
andy bull: alt-pop. a lot of poppy and upbeat songs with a melancholic undertone imo. an australian artist, try it's all connected or keep on running
cosmo sheldrake: electronic, wikipedia also lists him as folktronica and baroque pop. you may have heard the song come along on an apple ad - hes known for sampling sounds from nature. pliocene for example features sounds from endangered ecosystems.
if you like cosmo sheldrake, you might like hidden orchestra (electronica, ambient). also making use of field recordings, i really love the archipelago mixtape but its a hard sell at about an hour lmao. if you like the following song then i implore you to give it a go
son lux: experimental, you may have heard from them in the entire soundtrack for everything everywhere all at once (!!!!!). try dangerous, dream state (brighter night) or live another life.
ammar 808: electronic/world fusion, also behind bargou 08 (folk rock you should also listen to). i just cant get ain essouda out of my head, but i also love geeta duniki
miyavi: j-rock, used to be a visual kei artist. these days he might be known more for anime openings like flashback (kokkoku) or other side (id:invaded), or for work like snakes in arcane (or actually inspiring and voicing a character in it), but ive always been partial to his early work like sukkyanen myv or ashita, genki ni naare
songs/albums
'threads' album by now, now (indie rock).
'dream to make believe' or 'what to do when you are dead' by armor for sleep (rock, emo). here's the truth about heaven from the latter album
i already posted about it but denzel curry's 13lood 1n + 13lood out mixx (rap, trap) is extremely good
the guilty gear soundtracks and im so serious im not fucking joking. different kinds of rock and metal and all sorts of influences put in, a genuine labor of love. xrd and earlier games are mainly instrumental with some vocal tracks (try give me a break or big blast sonic), while strive pretty much always includes vocals (of course i need to rec rock parade, but also try requiem. its genuinely hard for me to pick and choose lmao)
not an album and not an artist
coke studio pakistan and coke studio bangla knocking it out of the fucking park, im particularly a fan of harkalay and kotha koiyo na. you could try the other coke studios too (tamil, india, etc)
triple j like a version is when the radio station triple j brings in artists and has them do a cover of a song (artists choice). i liked denzel curry's cover of bulls on parade and flume's shooting stars (video for this one is incredible, man had a vision you just have to stick it out), but you get a lot of interesting interpretations like the wombats' running up that hill, gordi's in the end or, infamously. the wiggles' elephant
ive DEFINITELY missed out some, but thats what my music tag is for LMAO i hope someone discovers something they like here!!!!
#ive tried to include a mix of songs that covers their range..#includes the ones i like but ALSO is easiest on newcomers#particularly with the metal bands LMAO#eg church burns isnt really my favorite on the album but i remember it being the song i started with#specifically because someone in the reviews said it would be the easiest to start with. and they were right#also miyavi HAD to be here ive been a fan since GRADE SCHOOL#if ive recommended an album and not the artist its probably because im not a huge fan of their other stuff LMAO either cos#theyve moved away from what ive recommended stylistically (armor for sleep or now now)#or i havent gotten to a lot of the other stuff/its not my thing (denzel curry. sorry)#i liked the song ricky but a lot of the discography just isnt what i listen to rip#honestly it was so hard to choose AHSDUSDF i tried to choose artists that i really think others should listen to#but yeah obviously some are just there because. /i/ like them lol#wait not me reading the ask properly again and seeing that the focus was MY faves ASHDSDFSDHFBSDf#i got too excited at the prospect of recommending music#sonochinosodomy#ask#Bandcamp#music#obviously this couldnt be Everything... but ive done my best#to pare it down.............#long post

i think one of my biggest (and only) gripes with procreate is that they dont have like. a masterlist of features their app has to offer. a full thorough ui navigation. because ive been using procreate for a couple years now and im still discovering preexisting features because they just. dont mention it anywhere
#like being able to drag and drop an image into the color pallette area to create a unique pallette from that image?#had to find that out through an instagram reel#procreate has a habit of compressing things almost Too much to make it less visually busy and more “beginner friendly”#which definitely works to an extent. its the easiest art program I've used to date. and that includes ibispaint#but they have an annoying habit of simply not Labeling Things#so they will have a lot of super cool and useful features that you wont even know exist because they dont tell you about it#and their app tutorials are very vague and don't actually seem to show you have to navigate the app.#they feel more like an ad than a tutorial#this is why procreate dreams has gotten flamed so bad i think#its not even that bad is the thing. its got tons of good features. but the ui is simply TOO simplified#everything is hidden in a dropdown of some kind#to the point that its not beginner friendly OR professional quality#because its equally unnavigatable for both#ANYWAYS im just yapping for the sake of yapping#i love procreate. its affordable and user friendly. theres just some very small inconveniences with its ui#i know nothing about developing and do not know what im talking about. for the record.#this is simply the ramblings of a humble artist who loves nothing more than to complain ❤️

Im personally against the vast interpretation of Adam being seen as sexist in his marriage with Lilith simply because it doesn't make sense in my mind. It's easy to think that when you only go off the Alphabet of Ben Sira as he was the one trying to subdue her during sex, but if you substitute the act of copulation with sessions of debates, then you'd be getting a new view of the matter.
The Zohar has always made it known that it was Lilith who was the odd one out in their marriage. She's known as a quarrelsome woman, and a partner that was unfit for him because she wasn't a good help. There's also the text that hints at evil spirits that haunt him during his marriage to her. Personally, I view this as Adam's failure to integrate Lilith's arguments in his view of the world with the evil spirits being the seeds of doubt being planted in his head from her inquisitive nature - a very dangerous thing in the Garden of Eden. Her attempts to shake him to the truth of their equal standing in the Alphabet could have been her plea to get him to look her way and consider her words. The failure of doing so definitely seems like he was trying to make her submit to his dogma which has made her leave him and Eden all together. You could interpret this as the man choosing his faith over his partner's concerns as the reason that killed their marriage. But as sad as this may be, it's not enough to warrant thinking about the first man as sexist. If anything, you could even interpret this incompatibility as forced upon them due to the Zohar having stated once or twice that Lilith had to be REMOVED from Adam. I often think of this as a ploy to get Eve to replace her.
#ooc : the mortal#Also. I don't think she hates authority for the sake of it#I think she hates those in higher functions that keep secrets from her & don't explain their intentions properly#If you just tell her to obey without research then she will look at you funny#She will poke and prod you for answers#Tell her why we're doing things & she will do it if she's with it#The only thing she asks is that you let her come to that conclusion on her own#Feel that this has been the main reason for their quarreling#And also - this is why independent thought is so important to her#Let her think!!! Let her consider your arguments!! Give her the option to reject it if she isn't cool with it#Sorry for the spam of thoughts lately. I'm just trying to see what jolts the muse awake#And I'm trying to contextualize the 'sacred' texts into this version of Lilith which maaaayyy include using other characters as a prop#Adam's the easiest bc most info on Lilith is tied to him

aitnists week 19
The main story is finished serializing on Patreon! 🥳
So Chapter 19 just hit AO3 and Chapter 20, the final chapter, is now on Patreon. There is still one more additional scene I'm going to post there, but not until after the main story is finished serializing on AO3.
Once both sides are finished serializing, I'm going to take aim at the ebook, which I'm hoping to have up and ready by mid-October. That said, the responses I got to the survey really made me reconsider how I was intending to handle the publishing side of things... I'm still learning about my options and stewing on the best way forward, so the ebook might take a little bit longer.
(I'll have a post up about my thoughts there later.)
Anyway, onto this week's chapters!
And In The Night, I See The Stars (Ch.19) OMC/Minotaur | Chapter Rating: T | Chapter Length: 3k words Phaidros is used to making sacrifices to ensure a safe voyage -- but every man has his limits. -------------- And In The Night, I See The Stars (Ch.20) OMC/Minotaur | Chapter Rating: T | Chapter Length: 3k words Phaidros and Asterion speak in the light of rosy-fingered dawn.
In addition to this week's chapters, I also posted the last Designing post on the free tier of Patreon. It's about Asterion's injury from Ch19, what it looks like, and why that's extremely important.
Like I can't overstate how important it is, tbh, to the point where I might post spoilers on main after the AO3 crowd has had a chance to read Ch19 just to make sure everyone has access to the info.
Anyway! For now, though, thanks as always for reading and I hope you enjoy.
#the long and short of it on the ebook side of things is that most of you said you'd really like to buy it from me directly#and the easiest way to do that is to make a website with shopping capabilities#and I... am learning the best way to do that rn lmao#with the hard copy.. I am starting to understand that it would be easier to Legit Self-Pub this than just print a few copies for subscriber#and I'm kind of sorting through my feelings about that haha#and researching my options#the easiest way to make hard copies orderable by people overseas is to make it orderable by EVERYONE#including bookstores and such#and I'm... deciding how I feel about that#I am examining my own hang-ups this week haha#aitnists

FUCK me trying to build a career while making queer art while also trying to be able to show my family things
#trying to figure out my instagram situation#bc i posted a couple things on my 'bigger' account#that were explicitly queer but now i'm like SHIT. i kind of regret that#and dont even talk 2 me about whether i'm keeping them private or switching back to public#reassessing post con lmao like how do i build an audience that knows me but also includes my family#the easiest way to deal with this would probably be to just archive the last two posts & repost them on queerer account#but that annoys me bc i wish more people could SEE it

#ya know.#after having spent about a month and a half in são paulo with my grandparents i can now confidently say that im ready to go home#and thats not brasil's fault at all and is instead a reflection of who my grandfather is as a person#i love him. i love both my grandparents. but with my grandmother at the stage of alzheimer's shes in he just doesnt have patience#to help her the way she needs. and hes been very very happy to put all of that onto me. EYE give her all her medication.#EYE make sure she bathes. EYE make sure she eats. EYE make sure she stays hydrated (somehow the hardest part of it all)#and theres been multiple times. including about an hour ago. where she says something to piss him off and send him into a shouting fit#and its just so beyond counterintuitive and unhelpful. like shouting and bitching and whining isnt helping anyone#and im ready to pass this responsibility to my aunt after being put into a situation no one warned me about#i was never told my grandmother had deteriorated to this degree. i was never told my grandfather's temper was getting worse.#i was just. never told. and while ive had an incredible time meeting family and seeing things ive never seen before#and enjoying what is the last time i will ever get to do something like this with my grandparents#im also really happy to go home next week. im going to miss brasil so much and ive enjoyed every second ive been here#but im ready to not be the mediator anymore. im ready to have a room to myself again. to not sleep in a cot thats literally (LITERALLY)#1 foot away from my grandparents' in this itsy bitsy hotel room#im ready to not be the sole person shouldering all this responsibility. a responsibility i wasnt warned about in advance#and i hope my father can bring me back to brasil next spring like he says he will so i can see rio. god i HOPE.#anyway. the weather is gray and gloomy today and im feeling a bit maudlin about it all#i hope everyone is well and i miss you all. im sorry for not answering the messages i have. things havent exactly been the easiest lately.#i love you all ♥️ and happy sunday#personal

fanfic rambling in the tags, nothing interesting really, just me talking to myself lol, okay to ignore or read as you please ✨
#so i've found the perfect prompt list for an olli/allu fic advent calendar sorta thing#but i'm too intimidated by my own expectations and ridiculously high standards to even start writing any of them 😭#honestly these prompts are so insanely cute and fit olli/allu PERFECTLY#like. i'm actually having trouble deciding which ones to use because i want to write them all 🥺💞#but i'm so so scared that i'll just end up writing the same (boring) story over again for 24 times 😔#i wish i could just write without thinking and trying so hard to write a literary masterpiece#when i KNOW it's alright if it's just a silly little story about my blorbos#that's perfectly enough and i know this but my brain's just not having it 😩#also if i were to write 24 independent fics i'd have to keep them short and simple but. that's not how i do fics. unfortunately (for me)#to overcome this i guess one option would be to write just one longer piece with 24 chapters#and somehow try to include the prompt of the day in each chapter 🤔#but i don't want to make this even more complicated to myself lol especially because i'm planning to write AUs for a couple of the prompts#i REALLY want to do prompts (of any kind!!) but i'm just so scared of stressing myself out to another months-long writer's block 😭#fair enough the last time that happened (last winter/spring) i was in a shitty place mentally anyway#and so far i've been happy to be writing on random bursts of inspiration. that's how it's the easiest for me. the words just...flow out#i'm so insanely jealous of anyone who can just create stuff when given any prompt 😭#y'all are super humans to me how do you do it pls spill your secrets#and anyone tempted to comfort me by saying i shouldn't stress myself over this and that i don't have to write anything i don't wanna write:#i knoooooowwww and i appreactiate the sentiment but the thing is i actually DO want to write these prompts 😭#in theory at least. because they really are cute as fuck wth 🥺#the problem is that i can't /force/ myself to write something at the snap of my fingers without a clear idea besides the prompt#and also because i know it can take me days to finish even one story let alone 24 💀#so to even START on this project is a little intimidating 🫣#i just fear i won't have the patience :(#and when i realise i won't be able to finish the project i'll become frustrated with myself#if only i knew how to write shorter one-scenes in order to not tire myself out#but often i find those kind of fics somehow...unsatisfying :(#i'm just a sucker for crafting the context/background for stories. a little flesh around the bones if you will 🤧#okay that's all now i'm gonna go stare at a wall while doing nothing useful for the rest of the weekend byeeee#if you read this far i hope you're having a nice saturday

Someone made a oni lore video :D
They got a shit ton of stuff wrong :(
#rat rambles#oni posting#its ok I was expecting it everyone has to get at least smth wrong their first time explaining oni lore lol#Im just deciding weather to comment corrections since I dont want to come across as mean#but at the same time with the already ludicrous amount of misinformation in the community surrounding oni lore I feel like I maybe should#like theres a Lot of very important details missing and while the timeline is vague I do think they got it wrong#now tbf I think its fine to not include every relevant detail for a brief summary of the lore but its more of a I dont think they saw it#which is fair some of oni's most important lore tidbits are burried in weird places#but to be a bit less fair one of thw biggest things is one of the easiest logs to find if you have the spaced out dlc#but y'know its easy to skim and not realize you missed an important detail#anyways time to try to think of a way to word my corrections in a way that doesnt make me sound as insane over this game as I am#Ill probably wuss out but I feel like its vital to try to lessen any potential damage that may be caused

the character ensemble art is gonna get goofy when i make a page in my notes app that looks like this
#mayor talk#'wheres marth/lucina/corrin' i already know what they look like fhskdfhgsk#marth is the easiest lord to draw ever [close to micaiah] and lucina has been one ive drawing for a very long time#and even tho i dont draw corrin's default design often.... trust me bro i got this#anyway im kinda bummed full body character art for all the side characters isnt really a thing anymore#for fates i kinda get it cuz that cast was so big and probably a lot of needless work [hell im happy with the character art we got anyway]#but three houses had a teeny tiny cast comparatively and only the main guys + the characters in the ashen wolves story#+ some characters that were featured as spirits in smash [including rhea i think!]. and only their academy designs#[which makes sense but like the war phase designs make the 3h cast look like a proper band of fe characters and not generic students]#and engage.... bro!! i'm actually the saddest about that game's lack of art cuz mika pikazo's style is sooo good😭#would have been so cool to at least see the emblems illustrated cuz marth's art is sooo yummy#but yeah the little art we got of the alears and the royal jobros feels like such a tease cuz those were so nice to look at... SIGH#anyway i rant about this because ive resorted to using the art of the characters in heroes instead#and timerra and fogado are the only royal friends not properly in heroes yet. not their base designs anyway#IS!!! ADD THE SOLM ROYALS TO HEROES YOU COWARDS

not to be crabby but whatever happened to people tagging for fucking gore
i have the tags for several shows blocked so i should not be seeing their gifsets anyway but if you're going to post a gifset of someone graphically slitting another person's throat i feel like it should be tagged with
literally anything
like i don't feel like that's a weird hangup on my part
if it were tagged with the fandom i would not have seen it and if it were tagged with something about the gore then i probably still would see it but at least that would be on me but to not fucking tag it at all is pretty fucking wild to me but i have now seen several gifsets of this incredibly violent scene from a fandom that i have blocked every iteration of the tag of and have had blocked for years so like
well that sucks and i don't want to see that and i'm cranky about it.
FUCKING TAG SHIT. Thanks.
#it's not exactly a trigger#but it does bad things to my brain#to watch people's jugular veins get punctured#and blood gush out#like wildly spurting#it's a thing i don't like#and try to avoid#and how the FUCK#am i supposed to AVOID IT#if you don't tag shit AT ALL#the easiest is that i find out what media includes that sort of thing and block the shit out of that#but GUESS WHAT#y'all fucking savages don't even tag what FANDOM shit is from#this post had ZERO TAGS OF ANY KIND#nor did it have ANY TEXT anywhere within it indicating what fandom it belonged to nor what it contained#so there was nothing for any of my filters to catch#THROW ME A FRICKING BONE HERE#AND LET ME NOT WATCH THROATS GET CUT#I DON'T THINK THIS IS A CRAZY THING TO ASK FOR

Honestly I think telling people ANY time is the best time of their life is an awful idea but doing to to collage I do think is worse for me specifically because now I'm in this ridiculous position of having so much pressure on me to be having fun that I have regular panic attacks about it.
#val chats#like. how did we get here. why are we having anxiety attacks over hanging out in our dorm and teaching ourselves to oil paint.#why has my brain taken “social activities” as the most important thing i could possibly do and have me get anxious when doing Any Else with#my free time#INCLUDING social activities with people its decided 'don't count' like my partner#who i do a lot of out and about stuff with because they're the easiest person for me do talk to#i just keep working myself up into these states of massive anxity where i feel like im literally not allowed to spend time alone or like#hanging out with my roomate

i find that often when talking about some issues on here and on other sites/irl when people refer to 'x group is doing this!' (especially when x group is an entire nationality) there's often a more specific group (sometimes even with a name!) actually responsible for said thing. in the nationality case even just saying 'government of this country is doing this' is more specific and often more productive. like all things there's nuance to this but we are on tumblr there is no character limit if you're going to post about serious political issues you have the space and time to define your terms
#i dont like how a lot of people have seemingly gone from the actions of this government do not reflect the opinions of all of its people#(see: us/uk) to grouping all of them together#like. this is about all of the groups you think it's about including the ones you might not like. regardless of the issue in question i do#think you avoid falling into a lot of dangerous patterns by simply being a little more specific#anyway. don't put too much stock into what i'm saying this is just a personal rule#it's not always just nationality either when it comes to this kind of thing but that was the easiest example i could think of#in general. if you're going to use a word. define what you mean by it. or simply be a bit more specific. ok#neon has thoughts#i do get why headlines may do it because sometimes that's how headlines work. but you are on tumblr and that's not what this is#(not about anyone in particular! but i have seen some things in the notes of posts on here)
