#they’ve drawn me in

[reticent-fantasies]

Just finished A Gathering of Shadows and I’m so glad I didn’t read it while the books were coming out because I’m going a little insane that I don’t have time to read A Conjuring of Light tonight let alone waiting for it to be released

Hey darlin! I just noticed your pfp changed! (It’s super cute btw!) But did you make your other one? (Like draw it yourself or use a picrew or something?)

Anywhosies i hope you’re doing well!💛

Omg actually!!! It was drawn by my friend Tiphy, @helloholidayhoe !!! They’re a really talented artist with a webtoon called Happy Holidays (that I occasionally edit)!! Everyone should go read it!!! I only changed my pfp bc it didn’t match with my theme, but if I ever go back to a green theme then I’m 100% using it again! And that is me drawn in their artstyle!!

This is the full art!!

*scampering in your ask box once again*

The timing of this ask is equivalent to going into the kitchen at 4 AM for a glass of water only to see me still awake

This is my way of saying I drew for a lil too long for artfight and it is 4… 01 right now

MUTUALS ARE ANY OF YOU STARKID FANS?

i have this shirt — this plain white t-shirt that i got when i was in eighth grade, way back in 2014. and then, i had a starkid instagram fan account and got emotional because that account is where i met some of my best friends tO THIS DAY !!! and wrote “thank you starkid” in the middle of the shirt and then wrote the names of all of my like insta fan account mutuals on it, to signify the family that i made, ya know?

and then, whenever i meet an internet friend, i bring the shirt and markers and they sign it themselves !!! so far, i have three internet friend signatures (would’ve had more but i didn’t want to bring the shirt to a marching band competition that was like a five hour drive lol) and i met some people Before i made the shirt:/ bUT i want to add y’all !!! i just drove back to my apt and got emotional over starkid and listened to them all three hours and was putting my laundry away and saw the shirt and knew i had to ask some of my new best friends.

there are no qualifications for being a starkid fan: if you like them a normal amount, an extra amount, if you’ve only seen the recent stuff, the old stuff, some of the stuff… lemme know cause i wanna add you <3

[ID: picture of a white t-shirt. in the middle of the shirt in purple writing are the words “Thank you Starkid”. surrounding those words are about one hundred different names of people, all in various colors. /End ID.]

Unfortunately I find myself back in the “the only thing that makes me feel alive is playing video games” era. Terrible small hole to find yourself in.

i can never just draw this guy can i. it’s always gotta be a whole comic

Why I Love Hanamusa

I get this question very frequently but have never given a really in depth, definitive answer. All just kinda implied through my comics and spread out asks. So here's this I guess! Long post ahead:

First, as a Pokémon fan in her mid 20s, I love seeing a ship where the characters are both in their mid/late 20s. Already, they’re much more relatable to me and my current experiences. Most Pokémon ships are between preteens, which can be cute but ultimately don’t interest me as much as they used to when I was a kid myself. Not enough to get super invested in and draw a lot of fanart for anyways haha.

I’ll also start by saying that canon doesn’t always influence whether or not I’ll ship something. I’m much more drawn to potential. Could the characters work together? Do their personalities work together in a nice way? I feel like this so much of fanon is anyways. Especially with queer relationships because they’re rarely depicted in the first place. A lot of the context for these ships is usually up to the fans to piece together or make up in general. And that’s the fun part to me!

Jessie and Delia have only met in the anime a handful of times. Any interaction they’ve had has either been pleasant, or just a typical Team Rocket interaction, with Delia dismissing them/not seeing them as a threat. Already a great jumping off point for me since, truly, they don’t have any actual beef or true, ill feelings towards each other. It’s not TOO out of the realm of possibility for them to potentially fall for each other. “But Jessie chased Delia’s son around trying to steal his Pokémon!” That’s where that dismissive and aloof attitude that Delia has comes into play. I’ll go more into Delia’s whole deal a bit later but I do think this aspect of her personality is a large reason why this ship can work. It’s not that she doesn’t care that Jessie has a bad past, but she can tell that, on the inside, Jessie’s a good person. And, in a scenario where Jessie is trying to become a better person, is forgiving enough to give her a shot. I feel like this is such a solid foundation for a ship. A character who has done wrong but is trying to be better and another character who is willing to help them be better. A classic dynamic!

It’s not just one-sided though; where Jessie is the only one benefitting and learning from the relationship. I believe Delia could get a lot out of being with someone like Jessie. To understand why, I think it’s important to know these characters’ respective backstories.

Jessie is an orphan/foster child who grew up in poverty. Her mother Miyamoto (from The Birth of Mewtwo) was a Team Rocket operative herself, who went on a mission to find Mew. In order to do this, she had to leave Jessie when she was just a toddler. Unfortunately, Miyamoto went MIA on her mission leaving Jessie to more or less fend for herself. Jessie went through life with zero stability, evident by her MANY different careers and constant moving around. It’s implied in the show that she went from foster home to foster home, and later in life tried being an idol, weather girl, florist, wine connoisseur, actress, most notably a nurse and finally a Team Rocket field agent. And even while in Team Rocket, she, James and Meowth were always doing odd jobs to get by. We see that Jessie used to be a sweet kid, and even adult, but the world and her circumstances repeatedly did her dirty, leading her to become the character we know today. Hot tempered, mean, selfish, etc. But despite this, her soft side does still shine through for the people and Pokémon she cares about. She is incredibly loyal.

Delia, unbeknownst to a lot of fans, also had a rough past (see Pocket Monsters: The Animation). Like Jessie, she had a lot of dreams and aspirations like wanting to be a model and even a trainer. But when she was 10, her mother didn’t let her, telling her that she had to stay home and learn to run the family restaurant (she’s an only child). Delia’s father left her and her mother to be a trainer, and never returned. When she was 18, she married Ash’s father and became pregnant shortly after. But right after Ash was born, he also set off to be a Pokémon trainer. And soon after that, her mother passed away, leaving Delia with just the restaurant and baby Ash. This gives so much context to Delia’s attitude in the show. We see that Delia is pained whenever Ash leaves on a journey, but she never shows that pain to anyone. ESPECIALLY Ash. She’s very quick to shoo him off when he shows any sign of wanting to go on another journey and even when he returns home, she acts more excited to see Pikachu than him almost every time. Without all this backstory, it’s easy to just read this as a funny gag, BUT with context, I think it really shows how quickly Delia shuts down and detaches in order to not confront her own feelings. She’s afraid of losing people and getting hurt again.

All that said, I think Jessie and Delia provide each other with EXACTLY what the other needs. 

Aside from becoming rich and famous, Jessie’s biggest aspiration is to get married. In my opinion, this is more so an underlying want for love and stability. There is no one more stable in the show than Delia. Delia’s lived in Pallet her whole life, she’s worked at the same restaurant since she was young and she is always there when Ash comes back home. She has all the love, patience and stability Jessie needs and craves. While forgiving, Delia’s not stupid and can keep Jessie in check. Delia’s also just an angel, which I feel, would make Jessie want to be better. And on top of all this, on more of a surface level, Delia’s a chef and excellent cook. She shows love through cooking and Jessie, who grew up poor, regularly starving and eating snow, happily receives that love. Jessie’s able to live a happy and healthy life with someone like Delia.

Delia, as stated, is very stable. Likely pretty monotonous and solitary, especially living in such a small town like Pallet. This isn’t a bad thing but it’s a little sad when you consider that Delia also had dreams of traveling, being a model and a trainer. She had to give up so many dreams in order to fulfill her duties as a restaurant owner and mother. And even now, when Ash is off on his journey, she feels the need to always be home and be that stable pillar, leaving behind any ambitions she had, thinking it’s too late for her (she’s only 29 btw). But then along comes Jessie, dangerous, passionate, an absolute firecracker. Someone who’s whole life has been about chasing dreams and either, never giving up on them or finding a new dream to chase. Upon learning about Delia’s past aspirations, I could see Jessie pushing her towards them, letting her know that life’s too short and she has nothing to lose from trying. On top of this, Jessie’s also loyal. She, James and Meowth are depicted as doing anything for anyone who gives them food or shows them kindness. Delia does both so there’s no way Jessie would leave her. This fulfills an essential need for Delia, who is afraid of the people in her life leaving her.

There’s so much potential for mutual growth and learning between these two and I adore that. They compliment each other, they help each other and they bring out the best qualities in one another.

I’m not really sure how to end this and I could truly talk about them even more but I don’t want this to be tooooo long haha. OH I could end it with maybe the most funny aspect of this ship that I've brushed over and also what drew me to it in the first place. Jessie. As Ash’s stepmom. THE END.

Men after showing you the most conventionally beautiful woman and saying “hear me out”

Meanwhile women showing you someone who looks like they’ve been left in a microwave for too long

Ps: I understand this is a pretty hefty overgeneralisation but I don’t mean every individual man and every individual woman all feel this way. It’s more my take on the idea of “the male gaze” and “the female gaze” in a way and also the joke that women tend to find more random/obscure things or characters attractive. Not only that but generally tend to be drawn to more interesting and complex characters rather than “here’s a sexy character with no plot”. If you’re a man and don’t like the vault girl oversexyfied ai bs then good on you. If you’re a man and you also wanna fuck Joshua Graham good on you. If you don’t fit into any category at all then good on you! The post isn’t about you.
