[mx-mongoose]

a caroline for her appreciation day!

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

[mx-mongoose]

UHMMMMM what if T4T labru

[mx-mongoose]

Someone help me I can’t stop drawing them like this ahdkhwjdnejd they’re so goofy

Christmas Kids

Flipped perspective under the cut!

My cat has to wear a cone this week and it made me think of an angel whose halo is a cone.

you ever read a story where you and the protagonist share such a specific brand of mental illness that you feel like you've been smacked with a mirror and you just gotta sit there with wet eyes as it lists all the ways you need to fix yourself. stories that say "this you? get help lmao". stories that equal six months of therapy. self recognition through the other? shoot that shit up my veins all day every day

MY MORON ARRIVED

Kicking myself cuz i’m genuinely considering learning music theory so i can write Infinity Train The Unauthorized Musical-

#IT PROB WONT HAPPEN #it would be in the style of Portal the unauthorized musical #where its preexisting songs from musicals rewritten to fit the context #but like #dude Grace singing a rendition of Candy Store with apex as the chorus? #lake singing one jump ahead from aladdin? #Kez singing Right Hand Man? #SAMANTHA SINGING TRUST IN ME WHILE TULIP IS GOING INTO HER TAPE #AND SIMON REPRISING IT?? #dude i am mentally ill

[mx-mongoose]

I need you all to know I remember portal existed a few weeks ago

(I cannot express how much I love this game)

#ngl i dont what this person is ordering so im just assuming OP is ordering the entirety of Aperture Science #and it’ll come to their doorstep

[mx-mongoose]

erm..

[mx-mongoose]

oh for the hlvrai fics. read cloud nine the freelatta fic please/nf

Okay! I finished this today, and boy… it was one of my favorite reads across all fandoms. This was a really sweet fic that I’m definitely going to be rereading from time to time. @chaotic-solutions is the creator, and I’m just going to say that reading this was a nice boost to my day. (Ask to untag, it’s no issue!)

Anyhow! Onto the review!

Rating: T

Notable tags: slow burn, (oblivious) mutual pining, hurt/comfort, first kiss

Pairing: Freelatta

Words: 18k

Summary: Black Mesa is gone. Everything’s over. Everything’s new.

More below the cut!

The details, as well, are a big part of why I’d want to read the again. The descriptions and scenes are beautifully written and I loved rereading them over and over.

I also loved the descriptions of his affection for Gordon, as well. It’s so heartwarming to see how in love Tommy is, even if he doesn’t realize it. It’s such a cute dynamic.

All in all, this fic is amazing. There’s nothing I don’t like about it! The writing is beautiful, the scenes and diaglogue are so realistic and immersive, and overall the characterizations and approach to the story is to die for. The plot and rising action is also just perfect. I feel like this is just the right amount of ‘slow’ burn. Not too slow, but also not rushing.

Overall, this is a 10/10 in my opinion. I had so much fun reading this, and it’s definitely one of, if not my favorite fic I’ve ever read. Thank you for suggesting this!

Extras:

Some of my favorite lines:

“It’s easier to ground himself like this, with Gordon warm and gentle against him, holding him like he’s something worth taking care of.”

“He hates that it’s almost impossible to turn down the chance to have Gordon pay attention to him.”

“Gordon looks up at him, before glancing away. He’s not going to push it- and Tommy’s almost grateful for that. (Another part of him wishes he’d pry, just a little. Just one time).”

A song I associate with this fic: Um, It’s Kind Of A Lot, by Will Wood!
