#I live with my folks at the moment

Do you take commissions? If so, do you have a commission sheet? I’m sorry if this is an annoying ask I just really love your work lol

not annoying at all! i really really appreciate this a lot, thank you!

i have done commissions in the past on other platforms, but for now i am not taking them here. i'm not saying that i never will, because sometimes life is.. you know. Like That™️. but for now i'm steering clear of it to try and keep my passion up! 👍

#i also frankly think- and i don't say this to be rude- but i think that most folks in fandom would think my work is overpriced #because i charge somewhat more professional rates. still not a living wage. still not what you could get as a non-freelancer #(deleted a lot of rambling about prices here but if anyone does want to hear it i can go into it sometime) #kirby characters are generally far more simplistic so it would be a whole different pricing bracket #but i think expectations in fandom seem different to an original content community where people are doing this for a living #the one person i've commissioned in fandom i was so shocked at the rate i paid like... 500% what they asked me. #(that is not hyperbole. i 'tipped' 400% and it still felt like the bare minimum. you *must* tip undercharging artists.) #anyway. i have a lot of thoughts about monetising my art but at the moment this is still a no. i'm sorry! #i do really genuinely appreciate it though! if i ever open them i'll be sure to post here about it! #i'd also like to do art trades a little more regularly in the future (not rn) ; so there's that too? but we'll see. again i'll post about i #starflungs personal tag

Since Kojima’s been saying that the Death Stranding film is going to tell a story that can only be told through the film medium, I really hope it’s a prequel to the game. There are a lot of background events represented through text and dialogue that wouldn’t translate well to a video game format on their own.

It’d be really cool to see the start of the Stranding, Victor and Igor’s backstory (as seen in the DS novelization), snippets from Sam’s childhood/early years with Bridges, the development and construction of the chiral network, and most of the events described in Higgs’ journals.

Coffin’s decision to leave her family behind, start a terrorist uprising by radicalizing the porters who unknowingly abetted human sacrifices by delivering BBs for the chiral network, and the decision to adopt Higgs as her protégé? That story alone would be worthy of a film.

#just thoughts #i would kill to see little baby Peter #and witness his Becoming™️ from that scared kid into the man we know and love #i know that ‘new world with a new sky’ moment would be POWERFUL #and what of his porter partner who died? what did that relationship look like? how close were they? #what of his relationship with Fragile after Coffin died? having a best friend who probably never saw his face? #not to mention his tragic rise to power and the secrecy that came with it. having to kill to maintain his DOOMS because people needed him #like he was handpicked as the inheritor of a rebellion against Bridges/the UCA and suddenly ended up with a LOT of responsibility when- #-Coffin died. and suddenly he was living a double life to care for and protect the people of the Western region #and those folks responded by calling him King Midas. naming him after a folk hero whose defining tragedy is being powerful but alone #everything he touched turn to gold but it’s so hard to form connections when you can’t shake hands #(sorry not sorry lol) #it’s such a complicated and nuanced backstory & so many people don’t even know about it because it’s in hard-to-reach texts & a side quest #idk I just think it’d make a really good movie. bonus points if it canonized him being a repatriate #it’d make a really good sci-fi political thriller/horror #i would vaporize in my seat if it cold opened with higgs saying 'once there was an explosion...' but now i'm just being self-indulgent #death stranding #death stranding movie #death stranding a24 #higgs monaghan #logan.txt

krypton is a gaping hole in kal-el.

clark kent is, according to his driver’s license and his about me blurb that prints increasingly smaller on his corner of the new dailyplanet.com, a classic sweetheart from western kansas with a bachelors in journalism and a one bedroom half bath three streets and a bus ride away from the daily planet in the heart of downtown metropolis. clark kent is celebrating his recent win - getting the printer to work without the hinge suffering a sheer fracture - with an extra sugar packet in his second cup of joe for the day and humoring his next desk neighbor’s heckling over it.

kal-el — superman — is the man receiving the mayor’s accolades with the world and the laser focused glare of the police chief weighing on his shoulders. according to, kal-el is,

clark kent is the well-meaning dork who never quite grew into his size and was bullied in high school, when asked he recounts being too sickly to join the football team and too unpopular to get over it. clark kent arrives early and works late to work off his four and a half years of student loan debt. clark kent has childhood friends, and an ex-girlfriend, and a budding romance with the abrasive, dyslexic, isn’t-she-just-lovely lois lane at the desk next to him who’s recently recruited him as her partner-in-foiling-crime.

superman — kal-el — has a baby blanket wrapped around his shoulders, a hunk of metal in a barn a couple thousand miles away, and a name with syllables even his mother can’t pronounce. a logo on his chest that he does not know and a dedication to love and truth and saving that is deeply, entirely human.

krypton is an aching absence in kal-el. krypton is the word he carries in his mind for when he fumbles his keys and almost breaks the doorknob, for when he hunches and smears his glasses. krypton is the lack of an explanation. krypton is, simply put, not. krypton is to kal-el not what kansas is to clark kent. kansas excuses the overfriendliness and the impromptu vacation days “to care for his ailing mother” and the handiness with a tractor. krypton is the torch they carry alongside their pitchforks when the bludgeoning begins. krypton is the response when the tragedy is unpreventable, when the wariness pitches into fear.

krypton is the world he holds in his heart when he can’t help but wonder. krypton is the sword his enemies hold over his head — a condemnation, a promise, a hope — and lord over him. the world is trapped in memories not his own, preserved in the perverted motives of those who would trade lives for tradition.

krypton is, later, eventually, a bridge. kal-el, an ambassador from a culture he’s borrowed to the one he was fated. clark kent, a haven. krypton is a girl in a spaceship of her own, fleeing from a krypton that was.

#text✨ #capes cowls and crimefighting #superman #dc comics #technically fic????? i guess #fic✨ #sorry was pissed off about man of steel and pondering the take on krypton as this thing he *knows* he should know about #this aching hole in his knowledge about himself #that he’s been using for so long as a crutch to support the superman identity that it hardly even has meaning anymore #bc even HE didn’t know what it meant #and then a take on zod as lording this over him. the only connection to a living kryptonian culture being . that #and then finally kara as his gateway to actually learning it #no actual canon here just me being 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥and emotional #fuck the fortress of solitude i know jack shit about it . maybe it’s here maybe it’s not. whatevs #my superfam main is kon sorry folks i just had major sad clark moments for a bit #also i’m an anthro student it’s practically in the job description to be #angsty and sad about culture and world building #wrote this at 4am while Mad. humor me.

Mike being closed off, annoyed, defensive, and borderline irate a majority of the time throughout the series, is a defense mechanism.

It's because, if no one knows who Mike truly is at his core, then they cant judge or hurt who he truly is. It's a mask. They can hate him, but it's not even really him so... Jokes on them, right?

But Will. Will makes Mike feel like he's better for being different...

Mike evidently see's Will as someone that knows Mike at his core and still wants to be around him in part for those very qualities. This is the only person Mike has been able to consistently show a more vulnerable side of himself to, and it's because Will himself embodies those qualities that Mike is scared to reveal, out of fear that he will be judged for who he truly is.

All Mike's most vulnerable scenes? I can guarantee you will was present for almost all of them (definitely all of the major ones).

Mike is just not as honest in showing others how he is feeling quite like he is with Will. At the most he might lash out and hope it gets the people around him to leave him alone so that he can be honest with himself in the privacy of a moment with his own thoughts...

However, get Mike around Will and he's head in hands, literally the most vulnerable we ever see him.

Like WTF even is this???? How did we move on?

#byler #stranger things #like this isn't the mike we've seen all season... #this is mike at his lowest #and he's wearing it loudly and proudly #notably in a moment alone with will #like that first shot genuinely makes my heart hurt #i just picture mike rolling his eyes or staring in disgust #and can't help but think where is that kid rn??? #and it's like? Is that even mike in his truest form? #or is it mike making due with the hand dealt to him #when his family is making demand about things and treat things he loves like his toys and dnd as this big joke #its no wonder he's dejected and annoyed at home #it's a coping mechanism folks #meaning when mike has accepted himself and he's happy and living life the way he wants in the end #he's going to be smiling and the most carefree and content we've ever seen him #not looking disgruntled and annoyed... #while that will always be apart of mike #it's not like he's never going to roll his eyes again just bc he got the boy #BUT it's not going to be his whole personality where anyone and everyone is pissing him off for some reason #he's not going to have a reason to be mad about bullshit anymore when he can finally be himself authentically #bc that was in large part what caused the mask in the first place

[toastybugguy]

one of those days when shit just happens to you and you realize you probably will never get closure and will have to learn how to cope with it on your own. good god. where is the fucking rewind button!!

#toasty talks #rant incoming #I just want to turn my brain off #god. #I often forget how much people can suck when you exit your bubble #this morning has been awful. shoutout to church groups. I hope everyone there explodes #I don’t think I’ll be going again. we tried folks we tried but I am so emotionally drained and unwell after that. #sue me for assuming as a trans Christian my pov would be helpful in a class LITERALLY talking about gender identity #but instead the moment my experience challenges or doesn’t apply to them they get teary because oh WE’VE felt hurt in our lives too!! #how dare you assume we don’t understand!! (<- still cisgender!! so no!!! you don’t understand!!!!) #fuck them honestly they can figure it out by themselves #I am so tired of this #I would take a staunch conservative any day over these 30 something liberal terfdipshits who can’t stand a conversation not being about them #when the class is. again. LITERALLY about gender identity. christ. #my brother will be home next week and will probably go to the class so MAYBE. MAYBE I will go to that meeting but I really don’t know. #if it’s too much then I am not going back. fuck them fuck them fuck them

Me: Okay we can go back to being normal now

Brain: Do you think when Hawkeye got a letter from his dad about three weeks later thanking him for having his friend Leo call to check in on Daniel and tell him that Hawk was doing fine and that he missed him very much, and he was quite a funny guy, actually, that Leo, really amazing sense of humor, that Hawkeye shredded and ate the letter out of fury

Me: Please let me have five minutes of peace

#literally forgot that hawk asked him to do that until this exact moment and i am confident that leo in fact did #a because he just lived through two years of war as a doctor and saw how quickly things can be snuffed out #so even though he's an ass he would not actually want a father to be wondering and waiting for news about his son #(leo using his parents as his first piece of leverage to try and get his papers back tells me his folks are very important to him) #b because he knows that hawkeye thinks he's worth nothing but dirt and the best revenge is to be so so niceys #my ramblings #last laugh

I don't know what I was on when I wrote some of these fics for Kinktober. I went from "3,000 words at max" to just doing whatever I wanted. American portion sizes and all that, I guess.

Anyways, here's some role reversal for my lovely ladies.

Written for Kinktober Day 24: Toys (Strap-ons)

Rating: E for Eh, she's got the Spirit if not the Stamina

Ship: Shadowheart/Trans Fem Tav

Tags and Summary under the break.

Summary:

When Asheera has too much on her mind, too much on her shoulders, it inspires Shadowheart to help her let go for a night.

I just looked and the Kinktober series wordcount will wind up at around 87k; why am I like this?

「ああ…こぼれ落ちる涙はお別れの言葉

何も聞かず、ただ僕の胸に手を当て微笑みを浮かべ

君の頬に口づけを…僕は君を忘れない もっと強く抱き締めて僕が空に帰るまでー 君の細く透き通る声が僕を離さない もっと強く抱き締めて僕が消えないように…

僕が消えないように…」

You ever read a fic that's so good, you just have to lay there and stare at the ceiling in complete silence for like 15 minutes or so while your brain is basically vibrating with hundreds of thoughts? Yeah, that's one of the best feelings in the world, holy molly

#mia babbles #< gonna use this tag for random thoughts i'm willing to post lol #anyways i've been rotating this fic in my head in full microwave mode and it makes me so giddy #this fic is for a different fandom from mm but #gosh i forgot how much i truly do enjoy psychological horror #i love myself a piece of art that will leave me pondering about my own place in the universe and what is truly real or not #who are you really? are you your physical form? the collective image of you from the people around you? your soul? your brain? #if there were hundreds copies of you placed in the same exact circumstances - would they be any different? #so what makes you YOU? #brain vibrating #having an art block so i can't get myself to write anything but it's moments like these that make my fingers practically ITCH to create #also i'm genuinely shocked at the talent of some fic writers #like you guys are amazing and i would legit buy a book from you #so many talented folks living all around the world and i just think that's so amazing :)

But until then they will be at each other’s throats

Tbh, If you aren’t Black or Asian then I don’t think it’s fully appropriate to comment on like, any of this, especially even mentioning “the being at each others throats,” part if I’m being honest, like. Black ppl as a whole don’t really have much of an issue with anyone else, it’s usually just the other way around really and for the most part, we accept everyone (sometimes to a fault,) into our space and culture. Just as long as it’s not appropriative or making fun of us then it’s like, what can you do? There will always be conversations needed to be had in order to build some kind of common ground between poc but yeah.

#black ppl can’t stop non blacks from getting locks and using a blaccent/aave or this and that but hey what can you do #rambling #tkf replies #I don’t want be put on the spot to talk about race stuff like this tbh it’s a bit 😭 #anonymous #the video itself was whatever like I’ll roll my eyes because the dude probably wanted locks because he thinks black ppl look cool or he #might listen to like chief keef or whatever tf but it’s whatver like at this point my bare minimum for cultural appropriation of black folk #is to at least talk to black ppl (like do these ppl ever have any black friends or ppl they hang around before they do all of this….. not #really so it’s a bit…. odd most of the time but whatever) #they watch a few rap videos and think that is how every black person in the world must be #like just as long as they aren’t saying the n word and using aave then I can look the other way I guess I don’t have the energy #to focus on stuff like then otherwise #it’s already a hopeless and losing battle at this point but just as long as other ppl remember that black people aren’t just their silly #little makeup and fashion trend that they can slap on at any moment when they want to look cool #and that we are people with a vast amount of culture that should be respected than alright #I learned in the comments of that post that there is also a huge chicano subculture in Jp as well #the Japanese girls dress up as latina’s and everyone’s obsessed with lowriders so that’s something #that’s…. something……… #regardless of how it starts it’s always nice to see people want to learn about how other people live #their lives their culture their everything #the world can be reset tomorrow and I bet you 1 million bucks that after a couple of millions of years #there would still be cultures shared and expanded upon between ppl wanting to learn grow love and share are innate to us as humans
