#DUE TO HOW EXCITED I AM.

the other thing about the crows "discourse" is that on a more doylist note, eric heisserer brought the characters into shadow and bone SPECIFICALLY because he LOVED THEM FIRST and Insisted to netflix that he was not going to helm a shadow and bone adaptation that didn't feature these characters.

i get the apprehension and disappointment of not seeing a 1-to-1 blow-by-blow of the book events on the screen but the crows' involvement is not being done out of malice and CERTAINLY isn't being done by showrunners who don't like / care about / understand them. they're in this timeline Because The Creators Adore Them.

again, i won't know if i like this season until i see this season, but like. c'mon. of COURSE show pacing and events will be different from the books. that does not automatically mean that it's all going to suck or that every change is being done in bad faith or as a 'cash grab' or Whatever other negativity i've seen thrown around thus far.

as an example: kaz backstory might seem rushed based on the book timeline, given that we're nowhere near the ice court plot yet. but on a narrative structural level, you learn about it midway through six of crows -- learning about it midway through the second season of a television show where he's introduced in ep1 is Right On Pace. it's not only fine but also GOOD.

you do not need to doommonger about this for a full month before we see where the showrunners are going with it. everything up to this point has indicated that they're perfectly competent and capable writers/directors who give a lot of shits about themes and tales well told. i'm not even like a celebrity stan or anything, like, if i don't end up liking it i'll say To Hell With 'Em, but just. jst

we don't need to approach everything in bad faith looking for stuff to be upset about. it is Literally Fine. your faves are Literally Fine. adapting canon events to better suit a television format n pacing is Literally Fine. okay???

it okay. breathe.

#this post brought to you by the 'recent' tag for the show being unusable rn which is a SHAME because i WANNA LOOK AT EXCITED POSTS #DUE TO HOW EXCITED I AM. #shadow and bone #grishaverse #i'm simply not gonna worry until i see it. 1) worrying is suffering twice and 2) i have no reason to

Congratulations to Dungeon Meshi on the first episode of the animation adaptation!

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #marcille donato #senshi #chilchuck tims #I have been getting into a lot of dungeon related media recently and what better way to celebrate this by cheering on Dungeon Meshi #Which is about to start airing it's first season! #I have a few friends who are deep in the Dungeon Meshi caverns and I am so excited to surprise them with this art #The group chats are already blowing up with people drawing and now I can join in! Yippee! #My favourite character wont appear in this season but that is okay. I am so fond of them all B*) #It really is a very special and dear story that I am happy to see get more love and exposure. #Not sure what the overlap is for mdzs and dungeon meshi but I must do my dues to spread the word. #I'll work on figuring out how to draw these silly adventurers better and return with more art at the end of the season.

The People Have Requested A Granby, and By Golly, A Granby They Shall Have!

#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #john granby #thank you eve + julia + cedar for making your opinions very known. More Granbies Soon as it took me An Hwhile to learn his face #he is Too Fancy but I am still figuring out how I think the aviators' uniforms work (and also was excited about being Able To Draw) #I can't decide whether or not keeping the tails on the coats would be useful or a hindrance aboard a dragon #altho' I shall probably opt for double-breasted coats in the working uniforms... hm maybe Design Sketches are in order #anyway Here's Granby having a rough day as per usual. #as for where I shall go next drawings-wise I am presently reading black powder war and tharkay has made his appearance #and I Did have to get up to bounce around excitedly. so perhaps we are due for a tharkay.

Me watching the industrial and commercial demand go up while there is low residential demand knowing that this will cause a labour shortage.

#cities skylines #like STOP!!!!!! YOU HAVE INDUSTRY PLEASE THE POPULATION IS SUFFERING #side note i cant figure out why none of my citizens are educated I HAVE SO MANY OF ALL OF THE SCHOOLS AND MY EDUCATION BUDGET IS MAXXED #i did just discover paths however and i am very very excited about that #today i set up paths and created transport links i have a bus station and a metro :] #problem is i had to remove the trainlines due to thrm being in the way but that means that now the indusyrial district covers the butt of #them #so now even when i unlock trains i dont know how im going to re establish them #side note surely thats going to cause some issues to the other parts of the england map #wait my map is the shape of england where are the trains coming from. this is an island #i am a bit miffed though as the map put me in like. sommerset county but im not allowed to access the sea since its not an unlockable tile #which means that i have NO WATER #ive had to buy all the way up to the river thames to get water and pump all that shit into the bristol channel! #anyway me getting rid of the trains #im just like richard beeching #sigh. #yeah america has their train issues but hey!!!!!! all our shit is privatised and its bad #anyway

what sucks about drawing bkdk for 3 years straight is that u start to notice patterns in ur bkdk art. like how deku is always :) and bkg is always >:(. and u'd change this if u could, but this is technically canon to their characters so why fix what isn't broken. and eventually u run out of ways u can portray :) and >:( while also making the art interesting

#it also might explain why i haven't drawn bkdk a lot lately. i literally have no idea how to spice up my bkdk art #without wanting to rip my hair out due to frustration #i am 100% aware i can draw them in different expressions but it's just Different #like the art process is just Different. idk how to explain it #anyway i love being an artist with a fixation that has wrung me dry of new exciting ideas #this is not a vent btw. if my brain squints it can even be funny. hysterical even #someday ... i'll find my bkdk groove again ... my social media existence depends on it. who am i if not a bkdk artist #becki rambles about stuff #bakudeku

Stray Gods || Grace/Persephone

She can’t bear to face anyone since she dropped out of college.  She had to talk to her parents, obviously, but it’s been almost a year since they spoke.  She was expecting them to yell at her, tell her she was wasting her life, tell her she’d never get anywhere without a college degree, that she was almost done, so why couldn’t she just wait it out another couple of years and then at least she’d have finished something? But they didn’t yell.  They both just seemed…sad.  Tired.  And that was so much worse. It was like they had given up on her. Grace doesn’t know how to explain.  She still hasn’t quite managed to explain it even to herself.  Would anyone understand?  Freddie never demanded an explanation—she loved Grace no matter what—but Grace was sure she wouldn’t get it.  Freddie was passionate about so many things.  Freddie was the sort of person who would probably go on to get a Master’s and a Doctorate or maybe two or three, because she just couldn’t decide what she loved the most. And Grace? Grace barely even felt like a person in college.  She tried to do all kinds of things, join clubs, meet people, take classes she thought might be interesting.  She tried to distance herself from Freddie, even, and she was not gentle.  She tried to destroy herself over and over again, and make something entirely new.  She tried to forge herself into someone interesting, someone worthwhile. But in the end, the truth always came crashing back to her.  She can’t escape herself.  She can’t escape how utterly unremarkable she is.

I recently decided to semi revive some of my crusty dusty splatoon ocs from when I was like 12, so here’s all of the goobers! Meet Cherry (she/her), Slosh (he/they), Egg (they/them), and Blast (she/they)

#keese draws #splatoon #splatoon oc #inkling #inkling oc #octoling #octoling oc #since they were from me being like 12 I. barely remember anything abt them. #I remember the most abt cherry and slosh but that basically amounts to their names and gender #the other two I only rember existing through vibes lol #anyways! I am never drawing splatoon weapons again! holy shit that fucking sucked! #on the bright side I got to mess around a bit with some hair style concepts I’ve been rotating in my head #also I’m still working on giving these guys an updated story but my basic idea is that they’re a professional tower control team that has #been facing some conflicts as of late due to them all getting old enough to start having aspirations outside of their team #cherry is from the domes but her parents left with her when she was around 10 #blast went to the same school as her and the two became pretty close friends as selective mute buddies #then at some point cherry caught wind of this cool new sport called tower control and was like woahhh I wanna do that #so she just went up to the first person near the battle lobby she could find and was like hey how do I join? #and he got super excited since he has a reputation for being incapable of shutting up so someone willing coming up to him came as a shock #they showed her where to get weapons and how to join battles and the two became battle buddies real quick #this lead to blast getting super worried and anxious as she didn’t want to see her only friend get hurt or stolen from her #at which point cherry was like oh I know! why don’t you come battle with us? #and blast was like wait wait wait no what if I die and dont come back and then die again :[ #they managed to come to a compromise for a while tho and eventually blast was able to just barely squish past her fear enough to start #being kind of interested in tower control as she had started watching the other two play #and while she was still anxious abt the idea eventually she sheepishly admitted she wanted to give it a try #and she ended up really liking it! so the three kept playing together #and eventually they started to feel more and more like an actual team and egg noticed #they had been scouting a team to join for a lil while now and after getting to play with the three quite a few times and getting on friendly #terms with them they were like hey what if we became like an actual team who do tournaments and stuff

Okay, okay... I'm nervous but excited. I just feel like a kid at an amusement park right now. Like yesterday was a mess. Not in a bad way, but not in a good way either.

So uh ah-... eyrjdur. I am having so many feelings right now-....

Okay

Okay

@partycoffin uh-... I know you may not see this or really care about this. Not to mention, I'm just a minor who doesn't know any better, but. I want to ask. Something. So uh... I want to write a book about the neighborhood. And I want it to be cannon. Like not that fantasy type of stuff. No. I want to write cannon stuff. So. I want to ask you if I am allowed to. Since I don't really like doing stuff without permission. I uh-.. you don't have to respond to this right away or just, uh... even look at this. But I would really like permission from you. Other characters will be added, but there won't be any nsfw stuff or shipping characters (beside form Frank and Eddie, of course)

What I feel like after posting this:

#partycoffin #silly #welcome home #silly guy #wally darling #barnaby b beagle #howdy pillar #frank frankly #eddie dear #julie joyful #sally starlet #poppy partridge #I am having an anxiety attack due to how nervous and excited I am

one of my friends just reached out to say she's started writing again for the first time in years and mentioned i'm her oldest friend and the only one that's read her poetry and i'm 🥲🥲🥲

#like she really emphasised how excited she was to share this with me specifically i am so touched i will be normal about this never ❤ #she's really excited about it and i just. idk it's so easy for me to feel like i'm just this empty vessel for chronic pain with few #meaningful connections since it's so hard for me to have any kind of social life due to chronic illness. it means so much that i can #mean something to ppl #.txt

@dementedspeedster

Bart had a deep frown, his glare at Thad wasn't quite hateful and it wasn't pitiful either, he didn't pity Thad... No that wasn't the right word.

"It isn't pity. You can think whatever. I just... It's unfair, it was unfair for you and it sucks ass for me." Bart crossed his arms and his body turned so it was facing the side, not really away but not facing him, though his head was still very much turned to look at Thad, he knew very much better than to turn his back on Thad.

"So I'd say it's pretty sad, but whatever. I wasn't really expecting a... I dunno, a constructive conversation, it's sorta like screaming at a brick wall with you, ya know?" Bart hadn't really meaned to run into Thad, but... Admittedly dealing with Thad be it fights or these... Going no where conversations it was a decent way of venting some anger.

#dementedspeedster #Bart Allen ☆You Spend Half Of Your Life Trying To Fall Behind☆ ☆Main Verse☆ #Bart Allen ☆I Am A Collapsing Star With Tunnel Vision☆ ☆IC☆ #Bart coping via only expressing intense anger around Thad is not a good game plan #Some of his anger comes from how like he can sorta relate to Thad in some ways like when it somes to prisdent Thwane but like #He can't really trust thad or really let himself think about that stuff because it just makes him really sad #Cuz when he first met Thad pre-falling he was excited for there to be someone like him but no #He doesn't really have that somebody like him and it is in part due to the same man whose why #Bart ain't with his mom #So saddness about Thad kinda also just crossess over into some of Bart's loneliness #Either way it's unfortunate that Bart is at the point that he doesn't really know how to approach Thad so just sorta #Goes at him with anger and hate because that's onw of the only places batt feels okay showing thay #& feels like it's justified by his past with thad #Anyways hope you enjoyed the meta in the tags about the way Bart mentality tries to 'deal with' thad

#i spend so mad god damn time bitching on this website. its bc i dont talk to ppl. whens the last time i had a non functional conversation? #uuuuhhh last weekend or maybe the weekend before that? so like i gotta complain somewhere. so if i stop complaining u can assume i made #friends lmao. ugh. its just. im worried. im worried abt how this semester is gonna go. how this phd program is gonna go #bc i spent the last 2 years destroying myself. realized ive gotta stop doing that. haven't figured out how to stop and now im gonna triple #the amount of pressure im under while trying to do things in a more healthy way. its just like. it objectively doesnt seem like a formula #for good things to happen. im more worried for how catastrophic its gonna b on my brain than i am abt the things i think most ppl would b #concerned abt. like im not worried abt planning and executing a project or teaching beyond fear of the unknown #its like. ive done these things before. theyre difficult but u make due and tackle the problems. but when it comes to: how to maintain a #healthy school/life balance? i dont even kno where to start with that. i just dont bc when u have a learning disability things just take #more time but like how much time is too much? where does it end? i dont kno how to manage it and i dont wanna hate my project by the end #of this. i want to b excited and not paralyzed bc im afraid i cant change my behavior and its gonna kill me #and im worried bc im meeting with my advisor for the 1st time since march before i agreed to join thr lab and have i prepared for this #project which is almost complete unrelated to what i did in my last lab? no bc ive been managing data and im still not done managing data #bc i cant focus bc i collected that data in a way that was actively self destructive. and i mean i kno itll b fine. thr guy seems nice i #just hate that im showing up devoid of enthusiasm bc its all been drowned out by the fear. and thats also gonna make teaching a problem #bc its hard to b excited abt things when there's a hole in your chest and ur desperate for someone to tell u how to fix it. but idk helping #ppl does usually make me feel better so maybe itll b a good thing. forgot how much i feel like im dying when i sit in meetings and #classroom tho lol. god its been 2yrs since i was a student. classes feel like such bullshit now. and yet if i dont get all As i might die #my students better b good. i have the 1st lab section bc thr lead ta couldnt do that time. so im the trial lab and i start fucking Monday #who tf does labs the 1st week of class? ugh. also its an intro bio so like 2/3 of thr class r freshman. lil bby 18yos and some r non bio #majors. and ive been warned that sometimes there r problems with ppl who don't believe in evolution and cause problems. pls let my classes #b good. im not that worried. its just gonna b annoying as fuck. im not good at being authoritative #ugh. i should b reading papers so i dont look like too much of an idiot tomorrow. itll b fine im just an anxious freak. a lil over a week #until i can try to find a therapist. probably seek medication bc i dont kno how else to stop this bullshit. annoying. i grew up with a dad #who gets anxious abt the idea of taking too much medication when he tskes a single ibuprofen. in this household we feel pain and then we #die miserable. this is all his fault. we have the same brain.im just a lil more irradidic than him #its so funny i say that bc im like the least irradic person ever. i do the same things every god damn day. im just irradic in terms of #sometimes i feel like my brain is on fire and im a cry bby lol #whatever. enough bitching. ive got papers to read. or maybe ill just go to bed and read them tomorrow 🙄 #unrelated
