Hi everyone! I was on a writing kick the past few days, so I got the next chapter out a little earlier than expected. Hope you enjoy!

Reaching New Heights: A Tails Adventure Chapter 11

After the mainline events of Frontiers, Tails, Amy and Sonic go their separate ways to grow stronger, travel the world, and reflect on their experiences. But when Tails stumbles upon a mysterious relic, and natural disasters disrupt the world and its future, the three heroes attempt to take matters into their own hands. As they search for answers in a race against time, they continue to uncover the threads of the Ancients’ forgotten history, the fantastical power of the Emeralds, and the very being that seeks to destroy them.  Rating: T Chapters: 12/? Words: 54.1k

in all honestly tho I respect people who like heartbreak girl or easier or don’t stop, especially when it comes down to it being this is my first 5sos song how am I not suppose to feel a way about it bc there is something incredibly special about the moment when you go oh this is it and as much as it’s like yes I am personally tired of this song over the others in their discography also it didn’t age well, I also get it. there’s a moment when you know and if there’s a particular song tied to that then all the love to you and it. I’m glad it’s gotten the live performances and different versions it has. I’m glad there’s part of integral to the band as well.

#alison speaks? #like i don’t usually do disclaimers but i feel like i need one #just cos i know i’ll make a lot of fun of the other tracks on self titled 1 this year #if we’re being transparent try hard was my first 5sos song #and i’m like emotionally attached to it even if i don’t listen to it much #so i get it and in the name of the whole cringe culture blah blah blah (not negative i just dk what to call it) #i just wanted to say #THAT SAID #some of yall (/nbh) making a scene about them playing or not playing heartbreak girl needs to stop going forward thank you #5sos

in this year’s onlyswan tumblr wrapped “all the bullshit artemis had to deal with!” we got: (1) hate anons and (2) ungrateful bitch allegations with (3) a side of plagiarism and (4) community labels <3

we survived! we rejoice! we thrive despite despite despite! can’t wait for what the next year has to offer! 😁

#i have so much to be grateful for this year but also i’m traumatized #when i remember (3) my face turns sour #i just wanted to say #i hope these people do not get what they want for christmas #art rambles

"I just wanted to say that you seem so nice at first, so sweet and so innocent with a smile that makes me think of angels playing go fish.. but no, you are wearing black lace panties when the lights go down and your makeup is smeared all over your face. I can taste the whiskey on your lips, I can taste the cigarettes.. I can taste your lipstick cause I want your tongue on my breath."

She may look like an angel but don't let her face fool you, she has a little demon inside - eUë

Ah.

That. Was not-

Sorry, Oppy. There was trouble. Someone... hurt, several people. And still others were killed.

I don't want to hurt the person directly. But giving them reason not to terrify and hurt anyone else seemed like a good idea. Some people don't care about other people's pain, but feel differently when it's their own. So I thought-

That. Doesn't make it right. And I'm still deciding. But Michael is a threat, and I'm grateful your parents were away when it happened.

...I didn't mean for you to see that. I'm sorry.

AH

OKAY

my only political post I plan to make in a while but sincerely I’d like everyone to stop telling me that I’m catastrophizing when literally all of the things I worried about came true or were even worse than I was worried about, lol “oh, no, oak, you shouldn’t worry about trump being president, that’ll never happen” OH YEAH WHAT NOW “don’t worry, oak, trump won’t be as bad as you’re worrying” YEAH BECAUSE HE WAS WORSE THAN I WAS WORRYING “oh no, oak, they wouldn’t overturn roe vs wade” BITCH WHAT NOW

sincerely, me.

#politics #i probably won’t respond to any comments or reblogs on this #i just wanted to say #AAAAAAAA #AAAAAAAAAA #replacing my real name with oak #even though my real name isn’t hard to figure out #it would take a modicum of effort #and I expect none of my followers care enough to figure it out #but anyway I don’t really want to talk about this #my blog isn’t for politics and screaming about it won’t help #but #AAAAAA #that is all

[jiminie-and-his-pinky-finger]

okay so since i never officially said what i've been working on lately, it is a Pirate au featuring.... Tae! so if i'm talking about a fic extensively... its that

#i just wanted to say #the way that im like NOWHERE near finished with the scene that i am currently obsessed with writing shows how in depth i want this to be #like maybe a full out fic... prolly my first time doing so #this has me researching and reading and writing and rereading and its making it so much fun #also 🥴 writing banter is fun? #myfictalk

i just started watching anne with an e as I'm crocheting and i read the books as a kid but i was seven years old and did not appreciate it because i didn't understand it and thus promptly forgot it but i really like gilbert blythe right now, he's my favorite of the kids, its gilbert, then diane, then jerry, my least favorite is barking boy with the taller blonde as a close second, shes pretty bitchy but bark boy was straight up threatening anne so he's obviously the worst

#i just wanted to say #i really like gilbert blythe #gilbert blythe #anne with an e #anne shirly cuthbert #diane barry #i think #anyway #im going to watch more #and hopefully #finish this shirt

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

[taffywabbit]

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

#buny text #I'm fine i've just been staying up too late playing bg3 the past few nights #and then wanting to wake up before noon so my parents don't say anything rude to me so i end up getting less sleep to facilitate that #and it's catching up to me #i feel like this explanation maybe undermines my previous statement of 'I'm fine' a bit but I'm fine i promise #look at my lop posts boy

[epicsauce]

learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.

#people will fr go ''god im such an ugly loser LOL i suck at everything i do and i should just kms“ #and then go “why does no one want to be around me” #maybe because your attitude sucks. maybe because i said 'those mean things you say about yourself arent true' #and you spent five minutes arguing with me about how im wrong. #00

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?
