I'm trying to make character sheets for my ocs, which is taking a bit longer than I expected. Buuut I remembered I made this drawing a while ago (◕દ◕)
I'll let you have this while I'm making new things.
Uuu, fun fact, I used myself as a reference for lighting because I couldn't get it right
oh you're in a horror film/book and your phone died/has no bars? how boring. I think phones in horror SHOULD work. they should ding only to have the protagonist check and find nothing. they should get calls from somebody you don't know but is still somehow in your contacts. google maps should lead you to one place, no matter what address you type in.
phones are such a big part of our daily lives, removing them from horror removes the horror from our experience. what if the horror felt like it could happen to you, right here, right now? what if it felt like it was already happening?
Relistening to the full series after the Underworld Saga was released, and I'm once again noticing that in The Horse and the Infant Odysseus asks his men "what do you live for!? [...] What do you fight for!?" And it ALWAYS catches me off guard because I'm expecting him to say "die for", and it really shows that Odysseus is fighting with the goal that no one dies. Gnawing and biting at the bars to my enclosure this must have been on purpose I refuse to believe it wasn't.
AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).
So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.
Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"
Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me
WAKE UP BRATS!!! A brand new song (Aziraphale-coded song AT THAT) just dropped!!
It's actually just a song for my "how to ruin a revelation" EP, but since Aziraphale and I share some certain experiences and parts od lore, I thought I'd share this one too. An addition to "let there be light", I suppose then. It's silly and very raw, and my knuckles do hurt, but I think the message is coming through.
I think I could call it.. "a waltz for the in betweeners"???? Maybe???
It makes me genuinely upset to see people talking about how much more accessible public transport is then cars as someone who cannot drive ever but also cannot take public transport by myself ever.
Cars are much more accessible to me then public transport, and my mother doesn't even *own* a car. But, rideshares and taxis exist, and they're a lot more accessible to me as long as I have someone accompanying me in them besides the driver.
The problem with public transportation, is that with busses and trains and trolleys, they don't drop you at your exact location. Also, you have to know what stop you have to get off on, and where to go after that. I can't do any of that on my own, and even in an ideal place where there was super reliable public transportation all over the place, it still would never be even mostly accessible to me.
The only public transport I can ride kinda independently is the bus I take to school, where the driver prompts me to get off at my stop both at school and at home, and the access bus, which, again, I get prompted to get off. The access bus is really small, and specifically for disabled people. They're trained to handle people like me.
Trains are never accessible for me if I want to be even kinda independent, and neither are trolleys or the normal busses.
I'm already very limited in where I can go at least kinda by myself, but a place with no cars and a lot more public transport would be a lot more inaccessible for me then a place with a lot of cars and no public transport. Ideally, other people would have enough good public transport, but cars would still be a reliable way to travel, *and* there would be good sidewalks with curbcuts and benches and plenty of room. But when talking about walkable cities and stuff, don't assume minimal cars and so much public transport is the best, or even close to the best option.
