thinking about when i mentioned tom and jerry by title alone to my 65 year old father and his only response was to laugh REALLY hard and say "him and that fucking mouse.." while staring into the distance. and then the conversation was over

I'm sorry I have to post the next chapter teaser because!!!! I just wrote the part that I am almost 100% sure is going to be the teaser (wait, do individual chapters on ao3 have teasers? I forget) and I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! am so fucking loving it. if you haven't read it first chapter's here

Evan hummed again, pulling him inconceivably closer, with a real press of his lips to Connor’s spine that made his skin tingle. “Jesus, Evan,” he breathed, and he didn’t know if it was annoyance, or the lightning bolts flying through his veins, but he groaned, and then it was cold. “Oh my god. Sorry, sorry.” Evan rolled over, his hands behind his back, or under him, or somehow otherwise pulled away from Connor. “Jesus, I’m. God. I’m so sorry, I—” “Evan.” Connor turned to him, just catching his wrist before he could jump out of bed entirely. “Come here, please.” Now it was his turn to sound whiny. “It’s cold without you.”  “I didn’t mean to—” “We don’t have to figure it out right now.” Evan smiled. “Where have I heard that one before?”  And Connor knew it was true. This was part of how it had started all that time ago. These moments of connection with no real plan, and maybe that’s part of why it had gotten so sideways, but god, couldn’t they just have it, for once? For a moment? Please? He fucking needed Evan’s skin on his and he needed his warmth and it was morning and he was tired and right now he didn’t care how he got it. Evan came back to bed, and Connor put his arms around him, and things were okay, for now. He might’ve accidentally kissed behind Evan’s ear. He wasn’t sure. He was too busy falling back asleep.

Yes, I also miss our talks on AO3

realized I hadn't made a post with all the proper tags & such so here it goes. Treebros fic! In their 20s! Six years after their college breakup! 31K words. I just posted part 1 out of 3!!!

“Can I— Jesus, I know how this sounds. I’m so sorry to ask this. Please know I’m so sorry, Connor.” Connor took a deep breath. Then another. Then another, waiting to hear Evan's request. “I mean, nighttime is when I feel the worst. Can we just— can I just stay on the phone? Fuck.” There was the light tap of skin on skin near the receiver, maybe Evan touching his forehead or temple, putting his hand over his eyes. “I promise I won’t be weird or pervy or something. Like, I don’t even need to hear you. I promise I’ll just do my work and study and stuff. I just want to have you on the other end.” Connor blinked several times, his teeth clenched. “Like, I just want to know you’re there, literally immediately, in case I need something. I just—” “Don’t want to be alone. Yeah. I get it.” Connor ran a hand through his hair and collected his soup bowl, starting to run hot water over it. “That’s fine. As long as you’re quiet by the time I go to sleep."

Connor and Evan haven't spoken in six years. Evan needs someone to talk to. Connor needs to get his head on straight.

wait I’m kinda going back to my English major critical analysis brain lately and I’m wondering if anybody has written scholarship on the like purity culture wars on here because I think the concept of like some people being concerned that writing about something = endorsing it is really interesting and goes for a lot of other more popular media as well but it seems super magnified in this context

Update: we did it bois. first chapter's here

would anybody read a DEH fic where they dated in hs/college but are now in their mid20s and have been estranged for several years post breakup and know nothing about each other anymore when Evan calls Connor out of the blue? I mean like this

“Can I— Jesus, I know how this sounds. I’m so sorry to ask this. Please know I’m so sorry, Connor.” Connor took a deep breath. Then another. Then another. “I mean, nighttime is when I feel the worst. Can we just— can I just stay on the phone? Fuck.” There was the light tap of skin on skin near the receiver, maybe Evan touching his forehead or temple, putting his hand over his eyes. “I promise I won’t be weird or pervy or something. Like, I don’t even need to hear you. I promise I’ll just do my work and study and stuff. I just want to have you on the other end.” Connor blinked several times, his teeth clenched. “Like, I just want to know you’re there, literally immediately, in case I need something. I just—” “Don’t want to be alone. Yeah. I get it.” Connor ran a hand through his hair. “That’s fine. As long as you’re quiet by the time I go to sleep."

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

#so well said #always felt this way about having a dead parent from a young age #like its never acceptable to talk about with anyone and nobody is ever well prepared to talk about it #doesn't matter if you make jokes about it or if you talk about it seriously and even if you dont talk about it at all iNEVITABLY SOMEBODY #fORCES IT OUT AND THEN ONCE ITIS OUT THEY FUCKING CAN'T DEAL WITH THE INFO #ptsd #adults dont know how to talk to you about it kids dont know how to talk to you about it and even as you grow up most people dont get it #feels like only people who have been in similar situations can handle having that convo without it being fucking weird #like no matter how you bring it up or discuss it you're somehow harshing the vibe and everyone acts awkward when its literally. just my lif #yeah its sooo alienating and like. ok. can't share this aspect of self without it being MY FAULT that I have a dead parent and speak abouti #like. sorry. idk what am I supposed to do? bring him back to life? my bad bro ill try that next time #ha ha ha #anyway if you ever need to chat about this im here and props to the people who do try #if this isnt the me est thing #childhood

here we go

10 years of progress

the first one was one of my first attempts at lineless art

the next one is a direct paint over. I thought it'd be cool to see what the drawing would be like if I had the knowledge I have now back then. I honestly like how it turned out, it's a really great 1 to 1 drawing.

finally, I did a drawing from scratch. essentially did a whole new sketch and painted over it.

I'm pretty happy with my progress and I really have to thank my best friend @ghostiebloo for that.

I always looked up to her, and still do, with her fun, bubbly art style, and wonderful grasp of expressive faces. She's always been my motivation and inspiration for creating.

Thank you for 11 years of inspiration and 10 years of friendship!

please check out her art blog @ghostessmanor, she doesn't really post but I think her art deserves the attention

#Love this #it’s so beaut #also thank you for thinking of me #art #ALSO ALSO did you call me don? Or did I read that wrong? Bc if so I’m gonna pass away in a good way #new nickname for me everyone hellooooo #pumpkinstep
