"You load all your clothes into the washing machine and stare dramatically out the bathroom window, since you don't have anything else to wear. When you slip them back on, you gain +100 CLEAN, which isn't a stat, and +2 BOLDNESS!"

ive had this cardigan and these pants for a while and i knew they went together but it only recently occured to me that hey. oz is yellow. i can be yellow, too.

i also learned during this that i cannot handle putting eyeliner on my upper lid. waterline, however? thats apparently free game.

i do not want to talk about how much the saturation of this sweater irl fucked with my camera.

image caption uhh. imagine having to pay a dollar in change to wash your clothes every time. idk bro i took these pictures a month ago

#oz #monster prom #oz monster prom #monster prom oz #monster prom cosplay #visions of levi #levi cosplays #this actually made me feel so confident #milo miiiight be next. or more oz cause honestly oz supremacy #oo i need a friend to do brian now (is not in a safe area to find cosplay friends or within distance of friends)

the juppet !! i just realised he is jerma posing i swear that was unintentional...... i spent so long digging thru muppet concept art and looking at old puppet designs just to end up doing a rly simple drawing but. i love joehills!! i have only been watching them for like 4 years but their videos r so special to me :3

#i would love to do a more complex drawing inspired by muppet concept art at some point... just wanted to give myself a bit of a break #i've been spending So much time on these drawings every day n it's not really sustainable for me to be spending multiple hours every day #when i have so much work i should be doing...... but i rly enjoyed this silly little muppet even if it's v simple for my standards #tbh i'm surprised i even made it this far into the challenge.. we're like two thirds in ?!!?!#i've only ever completed an art challenge once and that was inktober in 2018... and those were SIMPLE drawings #my standards are a lot higher than they were 6 years ago... but also there's extra pressure because i'm posting these #and i know i don't Have to post them but. it's a way of keeping myself accountable because i am terrible at that without outside motivation #omg why do i always ramble So much in tags this is ridiculous i'm so sorry if anyone actually reads these....#anyways i rly hope my people drawing skills r improving..#i doubt there will be noticable difference but i hope i feel at least a little more confident by the end of this #hermitaday #horsemeatluvr does hermitaday #horsemeat gallery #joehills #joehills fanart #joe hills #joe hills fanart #hermitcraft #traditional art #unedited sketchbook drawings 4 the win (i've given up on scanning n editing these or even taking them in proper lighting... too much effort)#i'm just a little guy

Willow | Spike - Clothing

“Why are you still in costume?” “Okay, still having to explain wherein this is just my outfit.”

#I call this 'costume motif' my beloved #I feel like both characters wear their hearts on their sleeves #So let’s take a look on their actual sleeves #Obviously everyone’s clothes tell a story and their character growth but I feel like these two are hyper aware of it #Its costume its armor I think they rely on it almost weaponize it #Spike i feel is relatively up on the times for a vampire yet he hasn't changed his style in 20 years #He's found his bad boy rebel image and he's gonna cling to it dammit #And Willow needs her clothes to showcase her pride/rebellion/growth as a lesbian wicca #Their clothing means to them hey look at me I'm not a loser nerd/fool anymore I got power and confidence in spades #But its just a front - superficial but clothes equal security blanket #I think they put too much power in their clothes because they're convinced it can control how people see them #But more importantly so it can control how they see themselves #btvs #mygifs #ok i made the nonsense gifset now will my brain stop this random buffy obsession or is this just a phenomenon that will hit me every decade #buffy the vampire slayer #myfaveposts

Clarice Julianda in NEWSIES

This show will always be very special to me and I am so honoured to have been given such an iconic role. Spot Conlon, you've been a dream.

#newsies #newsies uk #uksies #newsies west end #spot conlon #ive said it time and time again but her spot will always be it for me. she's made spot a favorite for me. to see a filipino actor take the #stage in a highly coveted featured role and rep folks with body types like my mom and aunt mean the actual world to me. its prob just due t #her time in the show being cut short but she just feels so underrated within the fandom. and truly no hate to lillie as spot she took on th #role so confidently!! she's fantastic!! but i miss clarice and wish she got more recognition. anyways rant over ive been meaning to gif her #for so long and finally got around to it. tbh i could make sm more sets there were a bunch more moments i couldve added

I HATE RICKS BACKSTORY SO FUCKING MUCH

#IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!!#its soooo obviously just so hes easier to digest and woobify by both the writers and the fandom. its so obviously not planned ahead. ITS BAD #rick goes from being a sad character as in. heres this adult senior man whos only real close confidant is his 14y/o grandson #who he is regularly verbally abusive to because he needs that sense of control in his life after existing in a multiverse that has forced-#pop nihilism onto him as a survival strategy. THIS IS PATHETIC AND IT MAKES HIM A COMPELLING CHARACTER!!!#but then they take seadon 3s meme joke not serious backstory that is so obviously making fun of that trope and theyre like #lets make it canon. actually. wouldnt that be cool #to me its reminant of like when fandoms take a stupid mocking joke thats made in passing and misinterpret it as sincere #UUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH #AND FUCKING DIANE!!! IS COMPLETELT ROBBED OF ANY CHANCE TO BE A CHARACTER AND EXIST OR DO ANYTHING!!!#SHE ONLY EXISTS SO THE AUDIENCE CAN SYMPATHISE WITH RICK #thats the only reason for this backstory. so that rick is sad and you feel bad for him because his life sucks actually #hes recontextualized from a character who is ultimately his own biggest weakness into a character who just had a tough time.#dont you just feel so bad for him

Are there still Crown Prince!Wilhelm stans out there despite S3 turning it into the number one problem? Please report, we need to unite and no, that doesn't mean that I don't support Wille's mental health and happiness and that I love the monarchy, some people out there must get it

#young royals #prince wilhelm #any crown prince wille believers speak up please don't let yourself be silenced alskdjdh #i'mma be loud and petty and just obnoxious about loving crown prince wille in contrast to what else i see and what the show says #it just feels so alienating these days and like you're wrong in finding crown prince wille interesting and preferring it #and you're not allowed to even express different thoughts bc canon told you this is how it is and how dare you want this life for wille #I wish i knew about more fics too that write about crown prince wille. it feels like that's forbidden to do now unless he's unhappy in it #and it's just shown how horrible it is and how trapped he is and exploring a different alternative with him actually being a competent +#confident crown prince in the future and simon and him still working out and working together and bring changes to the system #but the show has made sure the fans can't come up with their own interpretation and that's completely 'unrealistic' now #and going against canon and exploring a different possibility is somehow impossible now #and means you're an evil spokesperson for the evil monarchy #god forbid i want him as the fictional crown prince in this fictional show reading/writing a fictional story #stories where he renounces (and that's all I see nowadays implied or otherwise) are just not interesting to me and i hate it #i even try to avoid reading most drabbles bc of the implied reality they portray and barely go through the yr tag on ao3 anymore #when i say it's alienating to be in the fandom these days i mean it. it's tough and frustrating #anyway...anybody else feeling this way?#let me know so i can follow some more i really hope there are more active blogs

how do people even find partners. i dont want a bullshit answer, like really

#maybe im intimidating but no one has been interested in me #its just. rough #and i cant force myself to like anyone romantically if i dont feel compatability #i just want to be cared about in an exclusive way that friendship alone cant fix #i dont post abt this often but i got no sleep so yall gotta deal #its um. crushing sometimes #i dont even know if im aro as cope. once i did THC im more emotionallt aware and its. haha #the people around me tell me things that make me feel like im a catch and i feel it myself but NO ONE has advanced #and ive only felt attracted to one person in my life. who was taken ofc #im not sure it wouldve worked out good though anyway since im more emotionally mature #but it was because he expressed genuine care towards me and made me feel good about myself in honest ways i havent heard from anyone #and made me feel important to him #so im really at a loss #and also our conversations flow really smooth and we agree on many things that we find important #are there any extroverts that confidently wear their hearts on the sleeves and try to bring joy that want me #someone sensitive to my needs #my needs of which are actually very very basic #hi

Really feeling the "I think I'm nonbinary but I have a job so I don't really care about that right now"

#I've been having a lot of thoughts #mmm realizing that I've worn femininity as a mask all my life and that I've never actually understood it #and that presenting as androgynous lately has made me feel more confident than I've ever been #but also i'm trying to get into doctor school so this is literally last on the priority list #anyways she/they for now until further notice thank you waiter

ill say it before and ill say it again. hc that teru doesnt like serizawa at all.

#im gonna go into it here cuz im not confident in my hcs hi hello #so actually not cuz of the whole claw thing. i think that seri wanting to be a better person is like the one thing teru respects about him #and thats the thing. hes like !!! hes kinda like me!!! so he lowkey tries to make a connection thru that like haha we were both assholes an #arent perfect but trying! but see heres the thing. serizawa is an adult. he wants to act like an adult. so he treats teru like a child. not #in a bad way. normal adult to child. he respects him and all but see teru acts and maybe feels that he feels like an adult. so he sees that #as disrespectful. finally someone whos kinda ignorant like him... but hes treating teru like hes a child?! maybe legally serizawa is an #adult but after staying inside his room for years and then all that manipulation at claw.. mentally teru considers them the same. except #that seri wont act like it cuz reigen told him how to treat regular teenagers but teru isnt a regular teenager get what im sayin #ok and. then teru is kinda mean to him like ok man get outta my way but seri respects him and gives him more chances which makes teru feel #guilty which makes him dislike seri even more and try to push him away by being mean and its this hopeless cycle until one day teru snaps a #him and they have an actual conversation and he can see that hes actually the one treating serizawa like a child. and that hes like a shitt #adult in this scenario am i making any sense is anyone even listening #anyways sorry this is in the tags if u thought it was good and wanted to rb. hope i made u consider some dynamics

who up seeing their disorder in a fictional character but feel like its not their place to put a name on it

#id have to be waterboarded before i can talk abt how i see a lot of my adhd and personality in mitsumi iwakura let alone post it #idk how to talk abt this without feeling like im talking over or invalidating ppls experiences relating with a character #someone was talking abt how ppl tie laios' autism to special interest and social difficulties but not much else which kinda flattens it #and then went into a respectful in depth analysis of other autistic behaviour that laios exhibits and it wasnt phrased meanly #its fascinating and important to me to hear someone explain a little bit abt traits that they recognized and often go overlooked #because it does help me learn more about it. but i think thats also where hesitancy kicks in when it comes to depicting it accurately #like i have adhd and some of my adhd symptoms overlap with autism (time blindness and pattern seeking behaviour) but that only means #it feels familiar to me even without having autism. on top of that traits arent always cleanly determined as being /caused/ by #a disorder. to understand my environment i compare it to something unrelated but similar to make it more familiar and for the longest time #i thought that was a personality thing and not an information processing thing since i loved playing pretend in my head as a kid #so if you make a character who experiences that hoping to reach people that also experience that and tell them its not weird or #smth youre making up like. thats the goal. ppl who dont get it arent expected to it just means it doesnt cater to them but it helps them #become familiar to it yk? since i dont have autism myself i dont feel confident i can depict it properly or explain it in my own words #but that doesnt mean im trying to dismiss it or try and cut it out completely.. ill just leave the floor open to someone who /can/#a lot of issues around fanon depictions are when smth is baselessly popularized or a characters personality and behavior is flattened #especially to fit them into a trending meme. its harmless and its supposed to be for fun but it gets tricky when you drag things that #need to be carefully explained beforehand or else it gets lost in translation. like that tweet abt 'hyperfixating' on cooking pasta #once it becomes popular language usually the original meaning is left out for the sake of simplifying it for everyone that when it #circles back theres a sort of hesitancy like. am i using it the way it was intended or am i unknowingly using the popularized version of it #actually thats probably why i felt wrongfooted during diagnosis bc it felt like i was misusing the words i heard to describe what i felt #i /know/ i see a lot of myself in mitsumi because our minds are always somewhere else and we tend to put good faith first and for me #that personal connection is enough. but idk it feels like its always gonna have to be 'palatable' first before i can talk abt it openly #mad respect to writers and creators who stick to their story even if theres the looming fear of ppl misinterpreting it and letting them #have it.. its been almost 2 weeks and i am so close to deleting that m3 dunmeshi drawing bc ppl keep saying chilchuck wouldnt have 200 HP #IT LITERALLY SAYS I MADE IT WHILE WATCHING EP 1. I USED EARTHBOUND LOGIC AND I WASNT EVEN TAKING IT SERIOUSLY CHILL #yapping

LAST BUNCH OF BEHEADED DOODLES UNTIL I WAKE UP LATER.. i was rlly nervous about starting to upload art online, but having a reason to draw is really helping me and i want to thank you guys for even liking my art :^)

Whole lot of rambling in the tags lol

#dead cells #dead cells fanart #dead cells bobby #dead cells beheaded #im getting more confident in my ability to draw and i want to thank you guys for it #my art hasnt felt good enough recently and ive really improved by getting myself to draw and get my stuff out there #i think its because i see people my age who are drawing way better than me and it makes me feel like i havent dedicated enough time #and practice to my art #so thank you guys a lot for interacting with my posts and stuff #its been a really pleasant surprise getting so many likes and stuff on my art #artists like saltyfinalboss (go check them out :^) have been a huge inspiration to me since i even started on tumblr #thats actually the artist that made me want to play dead cells #i saw their art and was like #woah! that game looks cool!

i think taking a break from writing smut for like almost a year has been rly refreshing bc i think it made me stop questioning if my writing is interesting without sex and just write it how i want. and then tbh a part of me has realized i like writing without the sex half the time. it’s nice. it’s fun to explore intimacy in as many non sexual ways as you can

#not that i don’t like writing smut #bc tbh sometimes u just have to write gojo cumming #to feel fulfilled #but #yeah idk #dipping my toes back into sm.ut has been a journey #bc on one hand i actually didn’t like it at all when i started writing it again #i was like bro how did i write this so often #this sucks ass i will go back to sfw fluff cuteness #but then i slowly got back into the swing of things #and now it’s like #ok yeah i did miss this a bit #but i think if anything #the break was good for me it made me #overall more confident in my writing and it’s ability to compel / draw in an audience without sex appeal #but also just have more plot based development #which is why i’m so happy w that post canon geto fic #bc me of a year ago #could never fathom writing 10k words of no smut #yeah anyway ramble over #but that being said #ima till write pure filth for october LMAO

I used to be consistently embarrassed by anything I made/wrote but now I can reread my fic like ‘oh this is alright actually’ and I like looking at the photos I’ve taken and I like rereading some of my academic writing and yeah maybe it’s not amazing but I can recognise that it is good and I have improved at various things. Which is nice.

#have been working on my self confidence for yearrrrrrrs #and feel like I have grown so much as a person #first undergrad like. destroyed my self confidence and made me super anxious #whereas studying hort everything is just so much better #partly cos of the subject but also I’ve met so many wise lovely kind caring helpful supportive people #and they have helped me to feel more confident in myself #I’ve learned as much from the people I’ve been studying with and working with as I have from the actual course material #but also gardening is so chill but requires courage to just do stuff. like yeah chop that plant right back. and sure enough it grows back #better the year after. so gardening has pushed me to have more faith in my own abilities

sometimes i'll think abt a Fandom and wish it were bigger, and sometimes i'll read something from a fandom.. and wish it were smaller

#ppl seeing a confident black man : FINALLY! A PERFECT ANTAGONIST FOR OUR STORY!#THE CORRUPTOR!! THE ASSHOLE! MR KNOWS ALL!#i want to be bigger into football. i rlly do #but . omg. sometimes seeing just So Much . side eye shit is . like imagine my exhaustion #and this isnt me trying to be the behavior police like let ppl write but sometimes seeing such. Fun. patterns can be like #idk man it's sad like damn thats rlly how the world is and obvs i KNOW how it can be but it's real wack #real wack being reminded even in ur supposed happy place ur supposed lighthearted little break from the world #it's still not . idk. it's just not #oh the poor pale blond qb just a little anxious baby oh and his evil zany teammates trying to corrupt him oh theyre so terrible for my angel #:/#.. that is. a Grown. Man .#it's like replaying my 2nd grade teacher ******** me bcs i was a troublesome kid and it made her feel young and alive and bad again #like wtf am i corrupting you with maam? skibbity toliet ? leave me alone !!#listen. if it were smthing like 'x rlly likes tomatoes' when he actually likes idk carrots? i would not give a fuck. infact i prefer carrots #but bad patterns have smthing more to say bcs patterns in general have a story #it's more than 'he would not fucking say that' it's 'WHY tf are YOU making HIM say THAT of ALL people & THINGS???'#like i love having asshole characters in my stories too. and they can be poc ! NO ONE is a saint!#but having one just to fuel the only one u actually care abt? having their problems solely be for plot?? & making that one #a SPECIFIC kind of person ?? is kinda giving me 'u dont view x as a human which could mean you dont view x race as humans'#WHICH IS !! IT SUCKS ! THAT SUCKS!#i know i need to just suck it up and ignore it but thats like the life quote of being poc isnt it #ugh #it sucks

i regret to inform all of my fellow socially awkward kings that Practicing Talking Good actually helps. u have to make small talk at the grocery store sometimes to get better at speaking to people u don’t know very well. it sucks but if u keep trying it will eventually NOT suck and will in fact be fun and nice

#me when the advice is good and actually helps me >:[#jk i’m actually really proud of myself and very thankful for the good advice 😭#i am a lot more confident these days and it’s. really nice.#took a little more practice than most people need but that’s ok #it also helps to like… idk think about people who you like talking to and figure out WHY you like talking to them #and try to incorporate some of that into your own conversation #like one of my best friends always asks a lot of questions when we talk and it makes me feel like she’s actually interested in my life #i’ve always been someone who assumes that people will just tell me exactly what they want me to know and i didn’t want to pry for more #but!!! that’s not always the case!!! so now i try to ask more questions!!! and it makes me look better at conversation!!!#idk idk i just find all of this really interesting and getting better at this kind of thing has made me more excited to get out of the #house and just. do shit. in places where there will be other people. that i might have to talk to #because i can kinda do that now !!!!
