#It's different and therefore more fun~

[shinjisdone]

If you are still doing the Fem mc can you do a one with Floyd or Idia

Floyd is forever A tier man. Also I have been thinking of being a bit more self-indulged with these fem mc and friends asks since they did begin as self-indulgant fics for my oc lol. I find myself being able to write more creatively - trying to have a fem mc that everyone could insert themselves in or see any kind of interesting changes in is hard because frankly, the only thing about such a blank slate is that they are female.

while my own OC is also female and that does play a part in the little shenanignags, I also add a bit of her own personality and thoughts to make it a bit different (and as i said self-indulgent)

Plus, I honestly really struggled and disliked the riddle one, where I tried to not put any characteristics of my oc in there to make it more 'appealing' for anyone. But I found this just doesn not work for me.

I will do this one request with my OC in mind if that is okay!

Fem!Mc And Friends - Floyd Leech

Everyone, run! Before you get squeezed.

Floyd Leech is a weird combination of predictable and unpredictable. It can be expected to be looked down upon, threatened, challenged and squeezed by Floyd, yet when it comes to whatever he decides to stick with and spend his time on, he is a wild card.

Unfortunately, you are one of the many things he has decided to spend his time with. The little, jumpy 'Shrimpy' he came across.

And while he seems to stick to others and 'affectionately' refer to everyone with ocean-related names, he still seems...especially attached to you...

When You Spend Helloween Together...

Why would you spend Helloween with him? Are you crazy?

This is probably Floyd's favorite holiday on land. Dressing up as scary things (aside from himself) with the intention to terrify the crap out of anyone who crosses him? And he can get away with it? Who cares about some treats when he can carry out some tricks?

Even if you try to stay far, faaaar away from him Floyd will be sure to find you~

Where's Shrimpy, Shrimpy, Shrimpy~? Oh, are you dressed up, too? That's cute. You think you're gonna scare anyone with that?

Nothing scares Floyd and he still has the same kind of opinion of you since day 1. A meek, tiny shrimp. So he doesn't think you could pull any tricks anyway.

On top of that you are magicless and just a little girl in his eyes. Sounds mean but try as you might, he will never acknowledge you as 'bigger' or 'taller' even if you are.

Will first show off his costume (isn't it neat?) And threaten to terrify you right after (there's enough bandages to bind you down into a coffin).

Floyd always and I mean ALWAYS loves to mess with you but on this special day he feels like going all out. Scaring you, popping out of nowhere, acting like a real Zombie and like a bite from him could kill you??? You tell him off but he also acts like he believes what he says???

You may be a lot of things but no Zombie.

Hehe, you sure? Wanna try it out :) ?

He especially likes to tease you with his nickname for you. There's just something about it when you startle and jump up like these cats on land while he spooks you :) why can't Helloween be everyday?

Also your scared expression are just *chef kiss* to him. Will try every trick in the book to just...indulge in these shrieks and screams of fear.

And when he finds out you have a fear? Scared of the dark, spiders, thunder or oooohh zombies? Hehe, you're never getting rid of hiiiiimmm, Shrimpyyyyy!

Floyd would especially love it if you let out girly yelps or shrieks. He is surrounded by dudes in NRC so someone really girly is just interesting and more fun to tease.

Stuck in a haunted house with Floyd? Haha, help. Seriously, call for help!

Floyd is not stuck in a haunted house - the haunted house is stuck with Floyd. And you are right in the middle.

It feels like each scare and trick is being terrified into submission by him. The guy gets quickly bored out of his mind that he decides to spook the entire house. But besides that, he sticks with you and loves watching your reactions.

You will wish for the protection of Malleus and Deuce, because Floyd will not lift a finger to help or comfort you. He'll hang over your shoulder with that stupid, gleeful grin on his face (and the fangs near your flesh!) And laugh at your misery.

:(

But I feel like if something truly awful were to happen to you - maybe someone took a trick too far or made you cry - Flyod maaaaybe could become scary to everyone but you. Huh? Hey, you cannot terrify his Shrimpy that much. That's his job. Look what'chu did. Better get out of his sight.

When You Watch Him At His Club...

Oh boy. You can expect a lot "Hey, Shrimpy! Hey, hey! Over here, Shrimpy! Shrimpy, over here!"

He most likely threatened invited you to his basketball Club, no matter if there was a game or practice session.

It isnt thaaaat bad...Ace and Jamil are there too and they are miles more mellow than Floyd is if you ever need someone like that.

Ace will be a bit confused on why Floyd would invite you while Jamil is just hoping the guy will actively play for once in one go. Not when he feels like it.

Yet when you arrived, there Floyd was, taking you into his arms so tight you were lifted off the ground and squeezed so hard you thought you couldnt breathe.

Floyd is so happy to see you! Did Shrimpy come just for him and watch him play? Huh, did'chu, did'chu?

Also he would still hug you if he was covered in sweat and would not care. It'd be even funny if you were grossed out by it.

However...against all odds, Floyd would actually play - and go all out!

Even if it were practice, he is brutal. After each shot, he'd spin into your direction with arms shot up. A huge grin on his face. He's expecting you to watch him and only him.

Though if your attention is somewhere else, he'd pout and tell you to watch him! Look how much he's destroying the others!

In fact, you're supposed to cheer for him! Be Floyd's 'cheerleader' as he says. There's bunch of games where there's a girl cheerleader team that hypes up the audience and players! Do that for him! You got no choice if you don't wanna get on his bad side

Ah, should he get you one of these 'pom-poms'? You'd be so cute with them!

It just feels kind of special when the only girl in NRC is cheering for him. It's like in one of these movies!

Say a cheer that just consists of his name. Just that! Don't mention anyone else!

If you do pay attention or cheer for someone else, Floyd will not like it. Observing the other player like a hawk and leering at them with his classic 'huuuuh'? Even if they are on the same team.

Will do his best to kind of get your attention back on him. That can go from fouling the other player to telling you in your face to watch him. Him.

It can cost them the victory but Floyd wouldn't care. The sole reason why he even decided to come is because he dragged you here.

Ace is weirded out and Jamil's trying not to fume in anger.

When You Are Stranded On An Island...

Well. This isn't anything...novel for Floyd.

He IS from the ocean so a beach isn't something that would surprise or unnerve him. The sight of sand, the ocean, palm trees and the lovely sunlight...is rather boring to him.

Islands like this exist everywhere. Why should this one be any different?

Well, you are here for once.

And so are people like Crabby and Goldfish! This is sure to be fun!

Floyd will drag you to every place he finds interesting. Beaches are familiar to him so he can show and teach you anything! He's an expert in a way!

Collecting things is actually a dull activity to him. If you show any interest, he will just...drag you off. Maybe haul you around. If you say they are meant ad souvenirs, he still wouldn't budge and tell you these are boring trinkets instead. He knows much better stuff, come on!

His favorite thing to do is swimming for sure! Expect to be thrown into the sea and him quickly following after you. It doesnt matter what you are wearing, he will force you to swim with him.

Floyd will turn into his eel form and just drag you further and further into the seaaaaa~

Ace is getting worried and Riddle is screaming at him to return at once! You are supposed to find a way back to NRC!

It's kinda akin to a horror movie.

And since you two are so far out, you'll have no choice but to cling to him~!

Don't worry though, as much as Floyd teases and messes with you, he will never put you in any harm. He knows the sea better than anyone else.

He just likes having your arms around him and vice versa!

Floyd especially likes it when you're just a taaaaad biiiit scared and cling to him as if you'd never let go. It's just twice the fun and extra cute.

But hey, if you are already out here, why not explore a bit? He can hold you as you dive into the deep blue and catch some fish or anemona, spook some crabs or get some souvenirs from there! Anything down there is way better than on some beach!

You could be like a mermaid then! Don't you wanna try it?

Just act like your legs are fins and maybe let your hair open - oh, ya don't want to?

Meh, fine.

On another point, Floyd is not used to wear these vacation...swim...beach wear or whatever. But he guesses it's neat. Especially the sunglasses.

He would really like it if you wore ocean-related clothes or things. It just looks good on you.

Swimwear or bikini though? It's interesting wear but also...intriguing?

He's never seen something like that, the closest thing he knows are from mermaids. But well, they are half fish.

But on you...it looks good. Floyd would stare at you. Not shamelessly but more so out of curiousity. Shrimps don't usually look like that, you know?

Just wants to have fun with you.

Sometimes, I think about how much Alhaitham's entire adult life has been shaped by Kaveh and I just... have to sit down for a second.

Kaveh was Alhaitham's first, and, as far as we've been told, only friend until recently. At the very least, Kaveh was likely his only close friend throughout Alhaitham's entire schooling years, from teens into adulthood.

Alhaitham lives in the house he received for his work with Kaveh. The house Alhaitham lives in wouldn't even exist without Kaveh.

Alhaitham's ideology and behavior have been shaped by his diametric opposition to Kaveh's perspectives. He acts and thinks the way he does in part because of how their debating over years shaped how Alhaitham sees the world.

He's become an active part of a friend group almost entirely because of Kaveh. Alhaitham's story quest says that he didn't become particularly friendly with the rest of Sumeru's saviors even after they saved the archon, but now we see him hanging out with Cyno and Tighnari all the time because Kaveh was friends with them first and eased the way.

He even drinks a particular brand of coffee because he and Kaveh picked it together.

If you removed all trace of Kaveh from Alhaitham's life, virtually nothing would be the same. He wouldn't live where he does now. His house wouldn't look like it does inside at all. He very likely wouldn't have a single close friend. His ideology would probably be significantly more pragmatic and cold. Literally the only thing in Alhaitham's current life that hasn't been shaped in some way by Kaveh is Alhaitham's job. Which is... probably why work is Alhaitham's least favorite aspect of life.

Meanwhile, Kaveh is honest to archons over here wondering "What does Alhaitham even think about me?"

I don't know, buddy, probably that you're his whole world?

#haikaveh #kavetham #genshin impact #alhaitham #kaveh #Alhaitham is down horrendous #we should make more fun of him #bro met one pretty boy #and rearranged his entire life to make it happen #please someone write me a fic #where Alhaitham gets trapped in some dream or something #where Kaveh never existed #and everything in his life is completely different #and therefore completely miserable #just sayin #I'd read that #(Does it already exist?)

Buddy ref sheet NOW!!!!

FUN LOOSE REFERENCE SHEET

mask can be on the helmet or under it. any body type. any suit color. varying amounts of blood on it if ya want. go ham be free

#my art #lethal company #masked #oc: buddy #asks #churchydragon #I feel like I've been on one of those 'rapid bouts of improvement' in terms of art style #switched to a new brush that has the same sketchy feel as the old one but is aliased. different brushes for different textures #started copy+pasting lines down into a layer for colors and it's made coloring easier . more fun to render #I know Buddy's design is just. a regular masked. therefore like 85% a regular employee. but it's very fun to draw #in earlier art of Buddy you can definitely see how I changed the shape of its crown from the game-typical mask shape- #-to the kind of pointed shape now . not sure when or why it happened but. it has been given some grandeur. some flavor #a quirk of time and art style

[iraprince]

god i feel u so much on the not being able to use fancy detail brushes thing, i also use a textured brush (idk abt you but it stops me from obsessing over the lines being 100% Absolutely Perfectly Neat & Even) and i cry every time i see a cool brush that would just look totally out of place in comparison lmao. i keep telling myself someday ill make a whole bunch of custom ones that match my main brush... someday.....

I REALLY THINK THAT'S JUST WHAT WE GOTTA DO.... i do feel like by slowly playing w other ppl's custom brushes (i have to really recommend @robogart, @inspiderwiht and @pharanbrush as artists who create custom brush packs that i REALLY love!), i'm starting to understand very gradually what all the different settings and tweaks and adjustments do, which helps a lot + does make me feel like eventually i can work my way up to tackling my own...!

when i first started out the brush settings panel was SO overwhelming, so it felt like any time i downloaded a brush it was like. either i like it or i don't, and one tiny gripe abt it could ruin my experience w a brush that could otherwise be super useful and fun for me!! bc i didn't really feel capable of really getting into the guts of it and fucking around (also esp when u are on deadlines and stuff it's like. bro i cannot afford to Find Out rn and also i simply do not have time to spend an hour trying to figure out if i can make the pressure curve on this thing play nice w me). BUT giving myself a little bit of time whenever i'm doing personal doodling or warmups or w/e to experiment and mess around has been really really good for making me feel like i can take more control over the tools :D

I GUESS i am rambling majorly and a lot of this has nothing to do w the actual point of ur ask (esp the kind of. stamp brushes or fully drawn stuff like clothing trim/buttons/etc where it really IS like okay either it can blend w ur art style or it can't) BUT my point is just. grips ur arm in solidarity. by fucking around a tiny bit each day. one day we will understand digital brush composition + function enough to make our own. and then it's over for all of you bitches

#also expanding on my recs: #robogart's stuff is GREAT for painting + adding texture #also a lot of stuff that's fun as stamps. many brushes w color jitter that make flatting/blocking in paintings more interesting #inspiderwiht has a wide variety of stuff but a lot of it is like. what i call 'shortcut' brushes for stuff like patterns + foliage #but done in a way that's far less crisp/clean/'perfect' than a lot of similar brushes + i therefore find them way easier to- #-work into different styles + applications #and pharanbrush does EXCELLENT traditional/analog media imitation brushes #i've spent a lot more time w the pencil brushes than any of the painting stuff from the pharan sets but it's all very good

Doomsday Cult Christians when the Doomsday Cult ideology causes Doomsday anxiety in their kids:

#I talked about it a lil on a different post but then I once again remember how my grandfather told me #that he believes that climate change is a thing that will harm the planet #but christians don't need to worry about it because you'll either die before it kills you and go to heaven #or you'll be protected from it and just live in the climate change ravaged world #watching the people around you suffer from it but magically being okay yourself #and he couldn't understand why that made me feel so much worse #he's also 82 so that could partially be it #and yes this is the same grandfather that made fun of me and our neighbors kid for attempting u know what #doomsday christians are so fucking terrifying #because they don't fear death in the wrong way if that makes sense #like they view this as the practice round of war before the spiritual war aka the rapture #so they feel like if people aren't suffering they aren't fighting and therefore insist on making people suffer #and the more you suffer the better heaven will feel or whatever #it's fuckin wild #even when I was a christian I was terrified of it all #ex christian #religious trauma

[buddiesmutslut]

I’m being so ffr rn, if the show runners definitively show that Buddie is not going to happen?

I’m probably not going to be watching anymore.

I mean it when I say that they’re literally the sole reason I watched this show in the first place. I saw a billion TikTok edits of them & was like “Idek these characters I need to watch this show and see what’s going on over there.”

And like, it’s a fun show, I’m not saying it isn’t, but first responder shows are a dime a dozen. There are other shows that have queer characters and found family and wild adventures. Granted, they don’t have Buck & his bi arc, but I’d still read fanfics to get my Evan Buckley fix lol.

I don’t need them right now, I’m so down for the slow burn, will-they-won’t-they & the pining & the yearning & the build up and the GOOD foundation. I want to see Eddie figuring himself out and dealing with his repression and figuring out he’s queer (& Demi, pls God. I hope if I just say it enough, I can will it into existence somehow) before anything happens with the two of them, but if they take definitive steps to have one of them like, marry someone else or something, I think I’m gonna head out. Find me on ao3 for the rest of my days lol.

#911 abc #buddie #demisexual eddie diaz #also pls don’t come at me with “you don’t care about bi representation”. he’s already bi #he’s always been bi & I’ve loved watching him on this journey #but his & Eddie’s relationship is literally the only reason I started this show in the first place #and again if they find good LI’s & bring them more into focus #the time spent on the Buddie relationship will decrease. that’s just how tv & time limits work #and if my favorite relationship on the show goes away then why would I continue watching it religiously? #also I know I’m a bitch & would therefore hate any person they brought in to be the HEA for them & that’s not fun for anyone #not that I would bully the actor/actress bc im not an ASSHOLE #eddie diaz #evan buckley #I literally watched Booth & Bones take like 9 seasons to get together I am IN IT with a slow burn #unless they do what they did last season & shoehorn 2 LI’s in at the last second on the last episode then I guess I wouldn’t have a choice #Tim would’ve pulled a fast one on me #also I will watch literally anything else Oliver Stark is in SNOOKUMS I love you so much. come home the kids miss you 😂 #& probably Lou also bc he’s so freaking cute irl I wanna die #with his curly hair and his silly faces and his muscles and his wanting to be held in the dark #LOU BABY ILL HOLD YOU IF THE POWER GOES OUT #I have spent too much of my life & time & energy to get 0 payout and it’s honestly unsustainable but that’s a whole different problem

#biggggg ol art dump this time #I totally didn’t forget to post yesterday #anywayssssss #yeah I’m not the first to do this kind of au #but I’m having my own fun with it #sometimes you get brain rot of your own versions of characters tehe #I focused on making their villainy/backstory focused around #1) the rainboom that got their cutie marks failing therefore causing their different cutie marks/stories #(they are still connected and tied together in destiny even when evil!!!!!) #and 2) basing their villain personality around the disharmony versions of them #fluttershy is mean aj lies all the time rarity is greedy etc etc #and the group is p much split #half of them want to take over Equestria #the other half. are just bad guys. like flim n flim or trixie level villains #I hope ppl are interested in these guys bc I am!!!!!!! #I’m gonna post more of them anyways #my little pony #my litte pony friendship is magic #mlp fanart #fluttershy #twilight sparkle #rainbow dash #pinkie pie #applejack #Istg I have an idea n story for rarity I just haven’t drawn it yet #she’s my favorite rn so #mlp au #my little pony fanart #Crab Doodles

I am the number one mike gets vecna'd truther. I have damn near 100% confidence that mike gets vecna'd. there is no version of s5 that I can imagine where mike doesn't get vecna'd. he will be shown horrendous visions and he will scream and cry and veccy boy will get his homophobic dog moment and mike is gonna be shaken up and refusing to tell anyone what he saw and it will be the most important, impactful, and jaw dropping vecna scene of the season, and I will be pulling up the cristiano ronaldo gif

#stranger things #byler #mike wheeler #he is just like. the perfect target. how would he NOT get vecna'd? #bc like. I'm a firm believer that more people will get vecna'd next season #like yeah sure he doesn't NEED to torment and kill more people but he'll do it for fun #no way the duffers introduced a villain who can see people's inner fears and guilts and then they use it twice and never again right? #so obvs people will get vecna'd next season. and mike is a PRIME target #a. vecna's main targets are el and will. both of whom love mike and are really close with him #two birds one stone‚ if vecna wants to consider himself a good villain‚ that right there is reason enough to get Mike #b. while again‚ I do think multiple characters will get vecna'd and therefore we'll see a lot of different headspaces #we mostly already know what a lot of the characters fear and feel guilty about. whereas mike is still supposed to be a mystery to us #we're not being shown his pov‚ so when we finally ARE‚ it will have the most impact of any possible vecna vision any of the characters get #''why do you say it'd be most impactful rori?'' #bc listen. they're gonna want another impactful vecna scene. a running up that hill part two. but you can't beat max's scene. it's too good #the impact in max's scene comes from her escape‚ from her choosing to live‚ for her loved ones #which means if you want another emotionally impactful vecna scene‚ it can't be about the escape‚ that can't be where the impact is #or it will just feel like a cheaper rendition of max's scene #so the impact MUST come from finding out what haunts the character #and I FULLY believe there will be nothing quite as jaw dropping as vecna visions revealing mike's sexuality and how he feels about it #the only things that would probably come close would be el or will getting shown more aspects of the supernatural plot #but I'm pretty sure we're at a point in the story where we have most of the information #and we won't be getting anything super insane on that front

Having a gap year was really great for me because it was the first time in my adult life that I was able to just sit with myself. Figure myself out. Work on myself. Even though I had been an adult for several years, I feel like I really matured in my year of nothing. I now feel much more firm in who I am, even with opposition; I have always been a big pushover, letting other people do whatever they wanted and letting my desires go to the side, but now I am much more likely to assert what I want and tell people no. I’ll just do and be without analyzing what others want or expect of me, and it’s so refreshing to let that go. People really do grow in the cracks

#my thoughts #I’ve worked on myself mentally #I feel like a fortress but not one with huge spikes and a dangerous moat to keep people out (like before when I was so afraid of people) #(because they could hurt me) #but instead I am like a fortress in that I am well built and stable and not easily knocked over #I built a little bridge over my moat that’s open on Tuesdays and Thursdays (and alternating Saturdays :D) #but also I’ve just really taken time to build habits like eating things (when I actually need to) that are sustaining #and got glasses for my eyesight to reduce headaches #finally went to the doctor and got migraine medication #went to the doctor TWICE MORE and tried different ones #made sure I got consistent sleep #learned how to balance productivity and fun so that I’m not wearing myself out to the point of dropping from exhaustion or a headache #I learned to listen to my body #I explored my sense of fashion!!!! which I didn’t think I cared too much about before!!! #(this was due to seeing fashion in the lens of my body not fitting into the things I liked therefore not thinking fashion was something for #me. but I pushed my boundaries and started wearing things that seemed fun ANYWAY and stopped caring about if it was *right* and #started thinking of it as a way to HAVE FUN and EXPRESS MYSELF) #(I *knew* that fashion was a form of self expression but I didn’t really get it until this past year.) #anyway. it’s been a good year in hindsight even though throughout it I had flashes of panic thinking I wasn’t going anywhere #but I grew in a different way sitting still than in the years I was *moving forward* #I’m ready to move now and I have new life skills to bring with me :)

[florbelles]

old woman yells at clouds moment but i really don’t understand why everyone has become so averse to seeing writing as an art form like any other? like there’s this kind of bizarre mentality that i fully believe is well-intentioned but ultimately plays into the notion that you must view something as a skill at which you either excel or should not do which essentially says “you are automatically an incredible writer and everyone is inherently and immediately a masterful storyteller and no one is any better or worse at it!!!!” when that is just. fundamentally untrue. not everyone is necessarily an incredible writer just like everyone is not necessarily an incredible painter or musician or whatever other creative field you want to mention, and that’s fine. everyone comes into their own voice eventually just as everyone comes into their own style, their own method, what have you, but the notion that “you are as good now as anyone has ever been and you will ever be” is actually kind of the opposite of encouraging, in my opinion. of course you will improve. of course you will. but that’s not even the point. you don’t need to improve to love writing, you don’t need to write with the aim of improvement, because ultimately when it’s something that you’re doing out of love the objective quality is irrelevant. not non-existent, just irrelevant. you don’t have to be a literary genius to love and share your work. you don’t have to be a literary genius for others to love and share your work.

i don’t know, i just don’t think that “everyone is masterful” is the solution to the crippling issue of debating whether or not something is “good enough” because that’s not necessarily something that everyone is going to be capable of believing of themselves, and constantly being inundated with the message “it doesn’t matter because everything written by everyone is groundbreaking and brilliant!!!!” leaves the door open for “but what if mine isn’t?”

the reality is it doesn’t matter if it’s groundbreaking or brilliant. a lot of misery comes from the concept that something must be groundbreaking or brilliant. maybe it isn’t. doesn’t matter. it’s okay to love the process and love where you are and love writing and storytelling and creating without needing to tell yourself that this is a masterpiece — that still ultimately burdens you with the idea that this must be a masterpiece.

tl;dr celebrating unique voices and perspectives and writing journeys does not have to be synonymous with necessitating that everything is a masterpiece. a lot of my favorite pieces are not my best, and that does not make them objectively good, and that’s perfectly fine. i just think we should celebrate creating for the sake of it. leave quality out of it. it doesn’t need to prove its validity.

#this is unnecessarily long but idk. it's something i think about often #FOR THE RECORD I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT CAN'T ALSO BE GOOD #I'M SAYING IT SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE IN ORDER TO BE VALID #my relationship with writing is different because i've done it all my life/work in that field #but i guess a good example that made me think more of this is art #like i am not an incredible artist. i am not even good yet. but i have a lot of fun sketching and learning and that's part of the process #i don't see why writing needs to be different? #like i do not need to tell myself 'everything i draw is uniquely mine and therefore it is a masterpiece that is objectively good!!!' bc uh #it isn't. #it doesn't need to be. #i am not a professional artist i am not making a living off of art #it can be as bad as it wants to be i'm still gonna post it i'm still gonna have fun

“Uh-huh,” Randall grinned playfully as he leaned back in his seat, kind of enjoying this brief bit of banter between them: Here she was, commenting that maybe he should consider getting a little sleep, while she was yawning herself and refusing to do the same! Like student, like tutor, he supposed, given how she was encouraging him to get some sleep the previous night like she was, only for him to stay up all hours, doing the exact opposite of what she suggested...

He snickered a little to himself as he cradled his empty coffee mug, still smiling a little: When was the last time he’d been able to joke so easily with someone, affectionately ribbing each other for silly little matters such as these? So far, he could only think of doing so with Emily, and it made his chest feel warm-he enjoyed how at ease he felt with her, knowing he could be so...relaxed with her. She was a true friend, and he was grateful for that.

“Well, if you say so,” he continued, tone still amused as he set aside his mug for the moment, shrugging a little: He supposed he would just refresh his coffee here and a bit while she rested her feet...

In fact, he could kill two birds with one stone, as he suggested, “Well, why don’t I get you that tea? I was just about to get myself some fresh coffee before you arrived-that might help us both!”

tagged by @corrode-in-repose to do this little challenge showing the before and after of editing my gifs!! sorry i took so long to get back on this and tysm for tagging me this is so fun!!!!

i def have a very different and more unorthodox method compared to most people who make gifs so this’ll be fun!!! there doesn’t seem to be specific rules to this challenge so i guess ill paste in some gifs (unedited on one side and edited on the other) and talk about them/my process :^)

ofc the change in this video isn’t very stark since it was pretty vibrant to begin with, and bc of that i tried to amplify and work with the colors i already had. I made them all a bit cooler to emphasize the green and purple and made them more vibrant and saturated. i also increased both the sharpness and definition but softened them again very slightly when I was converting it over into a gif to offset the pixels.

i wanted to use a few gifs from this set bc there’s such a clear difference between the edited and unedited. The original video was super dark and shadowy and although it had that green undertone, overall it was dull and lacked vibrancy in any of the colors. so to get the effect on the right, I raised the exposure and brightness pretty significantly. usually i would also lower the contrast to offset the blackness of the shadows, but that wasn’t working for these and i decided i wanted to keep a bit of the higher contrast look this time (usually i do not). I increased the saturation and vibrance but I also greatly decreased the warmth of the gifs bc the color was originally appearing more yellow, and i wanted a vibrant green instead. i also increased the tint to offset how much the vibrance and saturation effects were turning his face green in the first gig (although i didn’t do this in the second one bc i wanted to leave the green for the effect of him looking through the lens). i also added a dark vignette effect on the gif with the lens thing bc i wanted to amplify the effect of it looking like a lens, and also offset the increased brightness.

bc I don’t use photoshop or ezgif to edit my gifs, my process is more like messing with a bunch of sliders with different effects until i get the look i want. however I do use ezgif just to convert the files from video clippings into actual gifs (the final step of my method). what I do in ezgif is a whole other discussion bc i am still figuring it out… as of now i just increase the frame rate and optimize my gifs for static background, and then compress slightly as needed to reduce the sometimes large file sizes caused by increasing the frame rate. it’s worth it though, i don’t seem to lose much quality and the higher frame rate makes my gifs less choppy which has been an issue i’ve noticed in the past. anywho, moral of the story is, i have a bit of an unusual method for making gifs that i hope some of you might find interesting to hear me ramble about :)

#side note i actually do kind of know how to make gifs in photoshop ish #like i’ve made a few in there before and they turned out pretty well i just don’t have that kind of time on my hands #making them in photoshop took me ages and i also don’t enjoy it as much #even though my method is a bit weird and strange i find it much more fun :) #every single gif is different and i dont edit any of them exactly the same way which is what i think makes it fun #anywho thank u for tagging me delta i rly enjoyed rambling abt this and i never realized how different those dave gifs looked #after editing them wow #also if anyone is wondering how i edit my gifs i shit u not i just my phone #my phone has a pretty remarkable array of aspects of the photo i can edit and although they’re a bit simpler and therefore #don’t have as much variability in what effects you can get.. i can still get a lot of different effects if i finess things just right #which is what i find fun #anywho that’s enough of me rambling hddjhrjdjrg

Time, Rhyme, Line, Mine

Guys, guys, guys! Guess what I found!!!

I found a poem! Holy fruit, do you know how long it’s been since I’ve written a poem! Fruiting ages and assignments from professors don’t count.

So, with that being said, imma throw this at ya’ll ^^

And yes it’s based upon BATIM no judging

___________________________________

Time

Rhyme

Line

Mine

The line that was mine the time that you rhyme.

But that time you took to rhyme from the line labeled ‘mine’.

So why was the rhyme in the line taken from the time it was mine?

...why, Joey?

Listen to me,

I’m not going to plea,

Because finally you are going to see.

That you are filled with greed,

You don’t care what others need.

You live in the past,

This isn’t going to last.

You take what isn’t yours.

Close every one of our doors!

The future is at stake!

You’ll drown in the lake!

Are you still not understanding?

...it’s hard to speak straight.

No one listens unless they are tricked.

By pictures, by words, or making you feel sick.

You don’t want to think you’re wasting your time.

So you don’t look for the truth, you look for a rhyme.

And you’ll only see the surface of every line.

To not understand the feelings and words said are mine.

They’re just names.

Bendy, Alice, Boris

Wally, Sammy, Thomas

Norman and Susie

Bertram and Lacey

Joey. Henry.

They’re placement holders, and that’s why he’ll never know!

That the drawings he makes!

He feels like here’s been a mistake!

For a man named Stein’s work to be taken.

Drew this is a monster of your own creation.

Did you enjoy the story?

There’s always a message hidden underneath.

That people draw with invisible ink.

Feel like we’re being used,

And you claim we’re a muse,

We don’t actually belong to Joey Drew’s.

But you’ll never know what we had to lose.

Because this is just one time.

Just a poem with plenty to rhyme.

Nothing but a single line.

And even as its creator I’m not allowed to claim it as mine.

#BATIM #poem #older writing #sorry I just had to share because I COMPLETELY forgot these existed!!! #see I once compared my two most worked on fandoms writing wise #that being BATIM and FNAF #to the former being more of a novel #and the latter a sitcom #because I play around with FNAF more toward the character side including lots and lots of hijinks #but when it comes to BATIM I tried a lot of different things mostly with writing style #prime example being this poem #I've got tooooons of BATIM poems #and if you ever read 'B R E A K I N G' that was when I went wild and just had FUN #or on the smaller side I write most BATIM stories in the past tense in a memory sense #the main story IS a memory and therefore italicized #and in the present moment it becomes unitalicized #it just fit the narrative of the game better #just something I noticed for writing style and theme and tone whenever I look at the two side by side #but anyway! #you've been POEMED #and I might throw the others too #thanks for letting me rant! #BTE writing

𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃｜JJK EDITION

synopsis : can you and your older brother's best friend keep a shared secret? a secret of fucking behind your brother's back ... if not then your screwed.

cont. affairs with your brother’s friend, teasing, small age gap, fingering [underneath the table w/ gojo], blowjob, slight dirty talk, exhibitionism, mild degradation, laundry room sex w/ toji, bathroom bj w/ geto, car sex w/ nanami. pairings : toji, nanami, gojo and geto

𝐓𝐎𝐉𝐈

the sneaky one who's always ready for thrills and fun because he somehow gets off to it. your older brother met toii a few months ago and they instantly clicked into being best friends, but the moment you and toii set eyes on each other- you knew something was bound to happen. he always had this lustful-like glint within his eyes which seemed to lure you in closer each time he stopped by the house.

"t-toii this is not the place for this." you slapped his hand away from your ass. you were wearing an oversized shirt with panties; loading the washer-machine with dirty clothes. "mmm why not?" he whispered in your ear with a lingering, yet seductive husk-pressing against your ass. your brother was in his room not too far away from the laundry room, about ten feet away and there's his room. "my brother is here!" you quietly shouted, the thought of your brother finding out that you're fucking his best friend terrified you - no could know, that was a secret you were willing to take to the grave. "if he comes here i'll just say i was helping you out with laundry." he grinned, tugging the hem of your panties. "but as of now. you felt your feet levitate off the ground, "can you help me with this." he place you on top of the washing before sliding your panties to the side.

𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐈

the both of you were acquainted prior to his friendship with your brother. your friends were friends of his; therefore, you saw and spoke with him a couple times. though now things were different since he's became a known relative to your family. everything started off smooth, you and him exchanged glances here and there- but you never thought things would progress from there on.

your body pressed against his chest as you rocked back and forth on his length. "shitt angel." nanami cursed out with his hand placed on your waist- watching the way your breast bounced with each rock. "make sure you're watching out for my brother." you panted out as your arms grabbed onto the headrest behind nanami's head. the two of you were fucking in nanami's car since he picked you up from campus to drop you off home. "don't worry." he hissed throwing his head back, "he won't be here till evening." his hands began roaming your body, cupping one of your breasts in his large hand- squeezing around it like a stress ball before pinching your nipple. "mmph! nanami!" you squealed feeling the sensitivity sprout as you squeeze around his length. "ya gonna cum from that?" a cheeky chuckle left his throat before teasing you more.

𝐆𝐎𝐉𝐎

the school playboy who just happened to befriend your brother. his reputation wasn't the great, but so wasn't your brother's sadly. the only reason gojo was able to get into university was because he was great at rugby. when he found out that you were a smart kid, he made sure to bypass his way into having you tutor him in hopes of getting closer to you and somehow it worked. the both of you would sit at the table and study together.

"gotta stay quiet if you don't want your brother noticing you getting finger-fucked by is best friend." gojo slyly teased, whispering against your ear. your sitting crisscrossed with your panties pulled to the side as gojo's hand sits in between your thighs as his fingers pace through your folds. "we're suppose to be studying." you bit your lower lip trying to hold back a moan with your head lying against the face of the table. "my brother went to get water." you warned, signaling that he could open the door at any given moment as gojo's fingers continued grazing your sweet spot. "well..." gojo opened your legs with his free hand, fingering into your cunt deeper- you muffling your moan with the palm of your hand. "if you don't have want your brother knowing how much of a slut you are for me. you'll cum before he enters that door." he taunted with a tainted amount of lust traveling through his raspy tone.

𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐎

the smart guy who excels top of his class. no one would guess that his into anything physically sinful, but you knew. the day him and your brother decided to watch porn together, which resulted him with a hard-on- walking pass the hallway into the bathroom, seeing you at the corner of his eye was been everything turned left.

"do you wanna help me out?" his narrowed eyes peered in your direction- your eyes wide in surprise from seeing such a view that was least expected. " i-umm." you stuttered out, eyes glued to his crotch as you fidgeted. "it's a yes, or no question. he huffed, brushing his hair back with his fingers as he opened the door to the bathroom with you deciding to trail behind him. the bathroom door is closed and your brother's room is on the other side of the hallway, yet you still decided to join geto's sinful activity. "sit here." he pointed to the toilet as he unbuckled his trousers, freeing himself of his boxers. you sat on the toilet cover with your mouth pouring with anticipation as get closed the distance between the two of you. "try not to choke. i don't need your brother hating me." he huffed, pressing his tip against the plush of your lips as you allowed him inside you mouth- almost gagging in reflex.

What We Learned from Flying a Helicopter on Mars

The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made history – not only as the first aircraft to perform powered, controlled flight on another world – but also for exceeding expectations, pushing the limits, and setting the stage for future NASA aerial exploration of other worlds.

Built as a technology demonstration designed to perform up to five experimental test flights over 30 days, Ingenuity performed flight operations from the Martian surface for almost three years. The helicopter ended its mission on Jan. 25, 2024, after sustaining damage to its rotor blades during its 72nd flight.

So, what did we learn from this small but mighty helicopter?

We can fly rotorcraft in the thin atmosphere of other planets.

Ingenuity proved that powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds when it took to the Martian skies for the first time on April 19, 2021.

Flying on planets like Mars is no easy feat: The Red Planet has a significantly lower gravity – one-third that of Earth’s – and an extremely thin atmosphere, with only 1% the pressure at the surface compared to our planet. This means there are relatively few air molecules with which Ingenuity’s two 4-foot-wide (1.2-meter-wide) rotor blades can interact to achieve flight.

Ingenuity performed several flights dedicated to understanding key aerodynamic effects and how they interact with the structure and control system of the helicopter, providing us with a treasure-trove of data on how aircraft fly in the Martian atmosphere.

Now, we can use this knowledge to directly improve performance and reduce risk on future planetary aerial vehicles.

Creative solutions and “ingenuity” kept the helicopter flying longer than expected.

Over an extended mission that lasted for almost 1,000 Martian days (more than 33 times longer than originally planned), Ingenuity was upgraded with the ability to autonomously choose landing sites in treacherous terrain, dealt with a dead sensor, dusted itself off after dust storms, operated from 48 different airfields, performed three emergency landings, and survived a frigid Martian winter.

Fun fact: To keep costs low, the helicopter contained many off-the-shelf-commercial parts from the smartphone industry - parts that had never been tested in deep space. Those parts also surpassed expectations, proving durable throughout Ingenuity’s extended mission, and can inform future budget-conscious hardware solutions.

There is value in adding an aerial dimension to interplanetary surface missions.

Ingenuity traveled to Mars on the belly of the Perseverance rover, which served as the communications relay for Ingenuity and, therefore, was its constant companion. The helicopter also proved itself a helpful scout to the rover.

After its initial five flights in 2021, Ingenuity transitioned to an “operations demonstration,” serving as Perseverance’s eyes in the sky as it scouted science targets, potential rover routes, and inaccessible features, while also capturing stereo images for digital elevation maps.

Airborne assets like Ingenuity unlock a new dimension of exploration on Mars that we did not yet have – providing more pixels per meter of resolution for imaging than an orbiter and exploring locations a rover cannot reach.

Tech demos can pay off big time.

Ingenuity was flown as a technology demonstration payload on the Mars 2020 mission, and was a high risk, high reward, low-cost endeavor that paid off big. The data collected by the helicopter will be analyzed for years to come and will benefit future Mars and other planetary missions.

Just as the Sojourner rover led to the MER-class (Spirit and Opportunity) rovers, and the MSL-class (Curiosity and Perseverance) rovers, the team believes Ingenuity’s success will lead to future fleets of aircraft at Mars.

In general, NASA’s Technology Demonstration Missions test and advance new technologies, and then transition those capabilities to NASA missions, industry, and other government agencies. Chosen technologies are thoroughly ground- and flight-tested in relevant operating environments — reducing risks to future flight missions, gaining operational heritage and continuing NASA’s long history as a technological leader.

You can fall in love with robots on another planet.

Following in the tracks of beloved Martian rovers, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter built up a worldwide fanbase. The Ingenuity team and public awaited every single flight with anticipation, awe, humor, and hope.
