#time for an appendix

[doodlingwren]

I'd love to have something witty to say here, but I think this one post speaks for himself in a way no words could.

Originally, I wanted to do a "simple" redraw of a silly meme, I have no idea HOW it eneded up being a four pages comic. And WHY there's also a JOJO reference within of all things. So uhm, anyway...

✨ Sources and references ✨

The "Dilf Detected Comic" [original unedited comic, meme format, meme format if you want the rebloggable tumblr version]

Hope you've liked the Aries™ Rizz©® ok bye

jenson button's advice to ollie bearman: "don’t rush it. the journey is a big part of you getting to formula 1. when you’re in formula 1, you feel the stress - as you see in a lot of drivers in the paddock. it’s the journey of getting there that’s just as good and just as important as your time in f1."

Saw someone complain that Elayne only said she was the Daughter-Heir of Andor because the show is bad at world building and is forcing exposition.

Motherfucker this fandom has been joking about Elayne telling everyone she meets she's the Daughter-Heir of Andor for decades. It is the most in-character way she could've introduced herself.

hi hi i'm so sorry if this has been answered or if i've missed it when you talked about it -- but the jason rancher au....... cough, as a former rider, does anyone on the farm do barrel racing or pole bending :)

(the jason rancher au)

hi hello!!! always happy to talk about rancher :) all the questions i've ever gotten have been really fun but i love talking about the other kids in this series and this is one aspect i haven't gotten to talk about!! i know you asked about barrel racing but i'll expand it a little more and just chat about their preferred disciplines in general :^)

everybody kind of does casual rodeo in someway, somehow. there's usually a small town rodeo happening at least once every weekend somewhere!! granted most of the horses here are ranchstock with more cow sense than speed built in, but also nobody is looking to qualify for NFR out on a weekend circuit. the 1D times are not 1Ding. someone always gets lawn darted. sometimes the pickup horse loses its shit and bucks both the pickup guy and the guy he's picking up off. a great time is had by all.

laura is a speed event girlie. she likes barrels, poles, breakaway roping. her horse is not built for any of these as a big half draft and her run times are no F*llon Taylor but barbie will try her heart out for that woman. she occasionally gets to borrow cisco, McLaren's horse, who is a pocket rocket but also sometimes gets too excited and will start crow-hopping on the home turn. ah, babies.

goose likes roughstock events. he's primarily a bull rider but also has been known to ride saddle bronc when he's feeling particularly like he doesn't want his head attached to his shoulders. his horse, toast, is cutting bred, so he also enjoys team penning nights to show off his little high brow cat colt go to work.

kacey is a guy with a little red quarter horse that has a heart of gold and will do anything he asks of her. he can get a decent run on barrels. he uses her as a head horse in team roping. scout's got a cute little stop, but he doesn't exactly rein with her. his big thing he enjoys doing on play days is mounted shooting, but that's not exactly rodeo depending on where you go. (he greatly bonds with jason over this; jason starts mounted shooting as well).

jason gets bullied into trying a little bit of everything. blue is also not a horse that's going to win any of the jackpot, sure, he's a Babysitter and therefore adverse to Going Very Fast around barrels because jason is NAUT sitting around those turns exactly right, but he'll get it done and keep jason alive and not crucify him for making mistakes. blue is better suited as a heel horse, so kacey gets him to do team roping and work on his roping skills. goose gets him up on a bull. eight goddamn seconds is too goddamn long. his back hurts. put him back on the barrel pattern.

you ever get off the wall angry looking up symptoms of “condition you fear you have” of the day and all symptoms are either “well if you have this you have to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY- or they’re unremarkable side effects of having a female reproductive system”

that and the time I was trying to research diseases for some writing, because I wanted to see how a vagina/uterus would react, and ALL I could find was “…. You mean during pregnancy, right? You want to know what will happen to a baby, yes?”

no cunt, I want to know what will happen to someone with an uterus when all other internal organs go haywire

I’m watching Voltron: Legendary Defender for the first time and here is what I have had to say per each season (this is 1-2) (3-4) (5-6) (7) (8)

Pre-Watch Knowledge

->big transformers type robot

->pretty alien girl that looks like princess yue from A:tLA

->they are the epitome of color-coded characters

->space??

->there was crazy people in the fanbase that sent cupcakes laced with something to the creators

->queer baiting (this one in particular got me)

->klance.

->^honestly I only knew that because people were comparing it to zukka and I wanted to check it out

->my friend really likes it

Post S1 thoughts-

->that cliffhanger was crazy imagine they weren’t renewed for a s2

-> i went on tumblr after and youre telling me they made that show IN TWO YEARS?? EIGHT SEASONS. IN TWO MF YEARS?? that is insane. props to the writers bro they fr must of known what they were doing.

->all of these characters already scream “doomed by the narrative”

->my fav characters are pidge and lance

->I definitely did NOT expect yue Allura to be British

->bonding moment.

->^like yeah okay i get it now

-> the healing pods are a very interesting concept. Like, what if you get some ailment that it doesn’t recognize?? Do you just die??

-> genuinely felt so bad for Not Yue. Allura. Allura when they had to remove her father’s memory thing. Like yeah I know the castle was corrupted or wtv but bro imagine. Your entire race is dead. your mom, who you previously knew alive is now most likely dead. You already had to go through losing your father once, and now you have to lose him again. Any sliver of hope you had of staying connected with him is gone, because the entirety of his essence is now gone. She’s stronger than me, I would have never given him up so easily. I admire that about her.

->I also made the horrible mistake of going on ao3 after

yk for gits and shiggles… and when I go to a new fandom I always search by hits to see the classics first yk

…

WHY are you guys so 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂… I genuinely shed a tear what. I was flabbergasted to say the least.

On that note the top 23 were about redguy/blueguy getting smoochy-smoochy with each other so I guess that should be a hint as to what you guys like

->the description of the show says the robot (voltron) is operated by “five teenagers” but that shiro guy has to be AT LEAST 25. He is pushing 30 you can’t convince me otherwise.

->for now it’s kinda giving atla except the war is intergalactic and lasted 10,000 years instead of 100.

->all the other characters seem to have a pretty clear background, but we haven’t yet heard about Keith’s backstory, so I want to know (I know now, this was my initial thought)

->shiros backstory/ptsd is very interesting, lots of angst possibilities i see

-> I had an inkling that pidge was…genderly different. (At first I thought she was transmasc)

Post S2

-> WHERE is my man. Where did he go.

-> Pookie please come back. Now. It’s not a suggestion.

->KEITH BACKSTORY I PREDICTED THEY WERE GONNA SHOW US YAY I LOVE BEING RIGHT

-> he’s galra! Soooo much whump opportunity

-> the whole “Allura doesn’t hate you she’s just a little upset to find out ur part of the race that killed off her entire peoples and family and okay maybe she does hate you” scene with keith and hunk is really giving that scene in atla: the southern raiders where zuko thinks katara hates him and sokka reassures him (badly) while he was just trying to get laid w suki.

->^ that’s gay

-> the aliens they met are going to be very important, aren’t they?

->^ oohhh so this is where the “langst” stuff comes from? he’s just kinda insecure i think, but it can’t possibly just be this episode that has that tag so high, unless flanderization is just really popular with you guys, but already suspect that unfortunately

->^Allura high key ate with this

->the “Blade of Marmora” people are definitely gonna be important later

-> the mall episode was soooo fun! fav s2 episode for sure!

->^gay. It’s literally giving “two bros chillin in a hot tub. five feet apart cus they’re not gay”

-> I know of 2 ships now. klance and allurance. I only see the former though, the latter seems more like a running gag/unrequited crush thing (for now i suppose)

-> Coran is an icon. I love that whimsical man. he’s beekeeping age per say.

-> I need pidge to find her brother and father man I feel so bad for her PLEASE DOBT TELL ME THEYRE DEAD ILL LITERALLY DIE.

-> pidge is sooooo cool i love her so much she’s literally the pookiest of the pookies

-> Who tf is gonna be the black paladin now. Keith sure as hell isn’t ready for that. maybe Allura?? Cus yk she kinda already leads them a little bit

These are thoughts I had compiled over a while now. I am on S5E3 as of now (07/03/24) but I wanted to document my thoughts either way. I will post on the tag “laura’s first vld”

[croweofthebog]

about to start my house of leaves reread. vibrating. i love this book sm i’m ready to lose my mind again

[akaruiakiki]

my May resolution is to get back to posting TEBKTH doodles more

[leanderqueenie]

I love that lanky sixties musician with long curly black hair and a big nose that made weird music and died in the 90s and was a music enthusiast and was into archiving and liked americana style and was difficult to play with and had controversial opinions and was in an experimental art film and named his child something unconventional and has met a beatle and was sick as a child!

 A Bumpy Ride

---

The car hummed along the highway, the rhythmic thrum of the tires, the only sound breaking the quiet. Beautiful autumn trees blurred past the windows as Nico and Phoenix made their way to Nico's family's house for a weekend visit. It was a trip they had both been looking forward to, but Phoenix had been dreading the drive more than anything.

Phoenix had always been prone to motion sickness. He had taken his medication, hoping it would ward off the worst of it, but as the miles ticked by, he felt the familiar queasiness settle in. He swallowed hard, trying to ignore the roiling in his stomach, but it was no use. His mouth began to fill with saliva, a sure sign that his body was not handling the motion well.

Nico glanced over, concern etched on his face. “How are you holding up, babe?”

Phoenix shook his head, swallowing thickly. “The meds aren't working.”

Nico’s brows furrowed with worry. He reached over, squeezing Phoenix's hand. “I'm sorry, baby. We’re almost there. Just a bit longer.”

Phoenix nodded, trying to focus on the passing scenery to distract himself. But the nausea was relentless, building with every twist and turn of the road. He closed his eyes, breathing deeply through his nose, hoping to keep the sickness at bay. He leaned back and was breathing slowly through his mouth, hoping to quell the nausea. 

The car hit a particularly rough patch of road, and Phoenix's stomach lurched. He groaned, his hand touching his stomach, his body jolted slightly with a hiccup. “Ugh, god..” 

Nico turned to Phoenix, worry evident in his eyes. “Hang in there, love. There’s a bag in my rucksack at your feet. Use it if you need to.”

He rummaged through the rucksack and pulled out the plastic bag, opened it and dropped it in his lap, and rested his head against the window, sighing. Nico rubbed his shoulder soothingly. He wanted to do something, anything to help. 

“It's okay, Fee. Just breathe,” Nico murmured, his voice calm and steady.

“I hate this,” Phoenix mumbled could feel the toast he had for breakfast sloshing around in his belly, the feeling making him want to gag. He groaned and put his head in his hands as everything started to spin, and the nausea was becoming unbearable. He opened the bag and burped over it. The car came to a stop, and he forced his eyes open, Nico had stopped at the side of the road. 

“Are you gonna be sick?” Nico stopped the car and touched Phoenix’s back, rubbing in soothing circles. His voice was filled with empathy and concern. His question was answered when Phoenix shook his head and gagged again, this time burping up some of his breakfast, which made an awful rustling sound as it landed in the bag. He coughed and threw up again, and Nico grabbed the side of the bag as it started slipping out his boyfriend’s hands. 

Phoenix straightened up, sniffling, and he almost melted as he felt Nico tracing his nails against his back. His cheeks puffed with another burp, and he moaned, “Lemme take that” Nico softly touched the bag, and Phoenix loosened his grip slowly. Nico took it and put it in a bin that was nearby. 

When Nico came back, he found Phoenix adjusting the seat so he could lean back comfortably. Nico took a bottle of water from the back seat and handed it to his boyfriend. Phoenix took a sip and rinsed his mouth, then drank some. When it stayed down, he smiled gently, and with a gentle touch, Nico reached out, his fingers threading softly through Phoenix’s hair.

“Thanks, babe,” Phoenix said, his voice filled with gratitude.

Nico sighed, “You don't have to thank me, love I’ll always take care of you.” He leaned over and kissed his forehead. 

...

The rest of the drive was slow and steady. Nico took extra care to avoid any rough patches or sharp turns, and he kept the conversation light and soothing. Phoenix leaned back, eyes closed, focusing on Nico’s voice and the feel of his hand holding his.

Finally, they arrived at Nico’s mom’s house. The warm glow of the porch light welcomed them, and the sight of it filled Phoenix with a sense of relief. They had made it.

Nico’s little sister, Lillie, ran out to greet them, her face lighting up with excitement. The six-year-old had her hair in the cutest little pigtails, her brown eyes glistening in the light from the sun. “Nico! Phoenix! You’re here!” she squealed, her voice high and full of joy.

Nico scooped her up, spinning her around. “Hey, Lils! Did you miss us?”

Lillie giggled, nodding enthusiastically. “Yeah! Come inside! Mommy made cookies!”

Nico set her down gently, then turned to help Phoenix out of the car. “Hey, Lillie. Can you help us get our things inside? Phoenix isn’t feeling too well.”

Lillie nodded, her concern matching Nico’s. She grabbed Phoenix's hand with her tiny one, her grip surprisingly strong. “Come on, Phoenix. Mommy can make you feel better.”

With Nico and Lillie’s help, Phoenix made it inside and settled on the couch. Nico’s mom and stepdad greeted them warmly, their concern evident when they saw Phoenix’s pale face.

“Are you okay, Phoenix?” Nico's mom asked gently, placing a hand on his forehead. Her touch was warm and comforting, reminding Phoenix of his own mother.

“I'll be okay,” Phoenix replied, managing a small smile. “Just a rough ride.”

Nico’s stepdad, Mark, a tall man with a kind face, came over with a glass of ginger ale. “Here, Phoenix. This might help settle your stomach.”

Phoenix took the glass gratefully, sipping the fizzy drink. “Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.”

“Call me Mark,” Nico's step dad said with a friendly smile. “And I keep telling you, you're family now, no need for formalities.”

Nico sat beside Phoenix, wrapping a blanket around his shoulders. “We'll take it easy tonight. Just rest, baby.”

Phoenix nodded, leaning into Nico’s side. Despite the rough start, he felt a sense of peace knowing he was surrounded by people who cared for him. The warmth of the home, the soft lighting, and Nico’s steady presence made the discomfort fade into the background.

Lillie climbed onto the couch next to Phoenix, her big eyes filled with concern. “Are you sick, Phoenix?” she asked in her sweet, innocent voice.

Phoenix smiled at her, ruffling her hair. “Just a little, cariño. But I’ll be okay.”

She patted his hand with her tiny one. “Mommy makes the best cookies. They’ll make you feel better.”

Phoenix chuckled, his heart warming at her earnestness. “I'm sure they will, Lillie. Thank you.”

As the evening went on, Phoenix started to feel a bit better. He joined in the laughter and conversation, grateful for the love and support of Nico and his family. Lillie insisted on sitting in his lap while they played board games, her excitement contagious.

“Look, Phoenix! I made this drawing for you!” she said, holding up a crayon-covered picture of a family.

“It’s beautiful, Lillie,” Phoenix said, helping her hang it on the fridge.

Mark brought out a tray of cookies and hot cocoa, and they all gathered around the kitchen table, the room filled with warmth and family chatter. Nico’s mom told stories about past visits, and they all laughed at the funny memories.

Later that night, as they lay in bed, Nico held Phoenix close, whispering soothing words in his ear. “I love you, Phoenix. Thank you for coming with me. I know it wasn't easy.”

“I love you,”  Phoenix replied, his voice soft and content. “And it was worth it. Being here with you and your family... It means a lot.”

Nico pressed a gentle kiss to Phoenix’s forehead. “Sleep well, baby. Tomorrow will be a better day.”
