There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation
because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

Neil, my graduation capstone project was greenlit and now I’m directing a video game with a story about a wacky failure of a witch (she’s actually great at magic, she fails at everything else). Witches are sort of my favorite character archetype to write about and I never got around to reading the whole witch series of Terry Pratchett’s Diskworld books. So I went and bought the hardcover set from his website. Its beautiful, I love it, I open Equal Rites, its dedicated to you. Why wont you leave me alone. I can’t be emo in peace like this.
I am peculiarly ubiquitous. I apologise.

oh yeah... redrew my older pines designs + also gideon is here because I like him and will inflict him on everyone. probably in their early 20s here, I didnt think too hard about the specifics. also some headcanons
dipper started testosterone finally so he's got the classic 'shitty little puberty stache' and also hes breaking out w acne bit. wears a lot of denim on denim. him and wendy swap hats every summer its their tradition. he has a bomber jacket with lots of alien and cryptid patches. sometimes he has kind of a mullet going on
mabel regularly chops all her hair off in the mirror with some scissors whenever the impulse hits so at any given point of her life it can be either waist-length or a buzzcut. she got into making kandi and has a bunch of themed cuffs. rhinestones. sparkles. thats a tamagotchi necklace
gideon has embraced his inner cowboy and got some riding chaps ostensibly because he has a motorcycle now but also because he thinks he looks cool. his bolo tie is a replica of his old cursed variant because fiddling with it is a comfort to him. hes got a custom leather jacket with his star embroidered on the back
hes also so tall because. well honestly my headcanon is he has an insane growth spurt in his teens. have you SEEN bud gleeful? he's huge. hes got Big Dude Genes. also honestly i just think its funny if he goes from being knee-high to 6 feet tall in the space of like, 6 months.
(i was gonna add other characters to this but i got distracted so thats for another time)

One of my favorite things about Halsin is how steadfast and well-regulated he is, even as he engages with the world and its residents from a place of open-hearted care. He is such a spectacular example of a druid in a way we don't often get to see — neither foolishly naive nor callously hidebound.
He is as he is, and while he is open to finding friendship, camaraderie, and affection in the world around him no matter what multitude of forms it may take, he will not change the nature of himself to receive it.
And honestly? Inspirational as hell.

i just. really wish people would realize it's possible to reblog a post about platonic relationships and expressing an appreciation for them or defending their legitimacy and capacity for depth and complexity and intimacy etc without feeling the need to talk in the tags about how much they love romance also or how much they also think 'a secret third thing' is great. like. you don't need to do that. in fact, please DON'T do that.

back from a night out and I took my usual stickering route home to check on what got scratched off -- come to find someone else has wheatpasted a gender abolitionist feminist poster to a lamppost and tied some suffragette flag ribbons to a nearby fence. Knowing another local feminist has seen my stickers and known she's not alone makes me glad I continued doing this for as long as I have. :)

i don't think the background art in mob psycho 100's anime adaptation gets nearly enough love. it's full of mundane objects depicted in the most exquisite watercolors.
Tumblr media
like this electrical pole here. with its giant soup can-like transformer and attendant power lines against a cloudy twilight sky, all shot through with vibrant pink and lilac and creamy butter yellow.
not only does this painting–and it is a painting–bring new meaning to the phrase 'golden hour', it's still one of the most glorious things i've ever laid eyes on. and you might pass one of these utility poles every day without a second glance. since seeing this image? i haven't been able to.
this is a single frame of animation. there are hundreds of thousands more in this series, maybe just as beautiful. i wanted to call your attention to this one. just because.
it reminds me to pay attention.
to notice, and keep noticing, the beauty in ordinary things (and beings!).

Would kill to read animal POV fiction that has the animal POV’s interaction with humans be like, semi realistic to the level of caution most predators take with large prey and/or competitors (including humans).
Like instead of the usual - “the human is such a weak, pathetic creature... so slow, no claws, blunt teeth… completely helpless without its 'Fire Sticks'. how is it the master of the earth?” type crap it’s like, the bear protagonist or whatever approaches some dude who spreads their arms and yells and the bear is like “FUUUUUUUUCK THAT THING JUST GOT HUGE. IT'S LARGE AND MAKING NOISES. HOLY FUCK.”
#A lot of this realm of fiction tends to severely overestimate how physically weak humans are in the grand scheme of things..#A human body ft. no tools has a pretty average level competency at escaping predation. WITH tools it's significantly above average.#Like a lot of human physiology IS the way it is because of reliance on tool/fire use but interspecies competition/predation is really not#a literal battle won by physical strength + teeth + claws (at least until the actual process of killing)#Intimidation and shows of strength/threatening behavior can go a long way. Healthy predators (who aren't unnaturally#accommodated to humans) are generally going to be cautious and may avoid confrontations they absolutely COULD win because#the risk of injury is judged as too high#And most animals can't weigh risks in the most objective manner and won't understand that you aren't any 'bigger' just because you#wave your arms and yell. That is why puffing up/spreading out as a threat display is so ubiquitous in nature.#Massive tangent but this is why I fucking loved Prehistoric Planet so much like the commitment to having its dinosaurs behave like#actual animals is fantastic and tragically rare#Like having a scene where a T Rex gets bullied away from a carcass by two much smaller azhdarchids.. Yeah that is probably#how it would behave. It's not a mindless killing machine it's an animal so is going to avoid confrontations it deems too risky even if it#WOULD win in an all out brawl. thank you so fucking muych.

Neil, do you know how much power you have? I’ve seen within the community either that be here on Tumblr or XTwitter but a lot of people (me included) find how you are somehow referenced everywhere, intentionally… or not.. like a constant reoccurrence.. in someway it’s slightly scary but nonetheless.. everything is connected somehow, right? So I guess what I am asking is.
Neil, how are you somehow everywhere?
Have you been everywhere this entire time and do you control the reoccurrences..?
I have very little power. I'm just peculiarly ubiquitous.

discussion was had in the jooster discord about how there were various monocle clubs for lesbians at the time in which the stories took place. so allow me to make a story suggestion.
Bertie Wooster purchases a fashionable monocle as a stylistic statement and ends up joining a ripping new club where he makes tons of dear friends and is immensely popular. What he doesn’t know is that it’s a club for sapphics, and they all just think that he’s a cute he/him butch lesbian who tells the funniest stories. He is being flirted with by like 12 girls per night and is completely oblivious to it. They all think it’s the funniest shit ever when they find out he is not in fact a woman and he remains friends with them from then on. He still meets them for drinks at the club now and then, during which at least one new member always has to be let down gently by one of the other ladies that no, he is not a woman. He is just Bertie Wooster.

ESPER Keigo gets a little... feisty during your guiding sessions.
He wants you in his lap, and if you deter him ("that's really not appropriate Mr. Takami"), he wants to be in your lap, and if you shove him off again he wants to be on top of you, tucked between your thighs, mouthing at your neck in wet, needy kisses.
Sometimes, he reaches for your buttons, your zippers. Tugs your bra strap. Murmurs that he needs to be inside you so bad it burns.
Sometimes, when you shoo his hands away, he nips you in revenge.
