Hi, I've been inspired by the composition and abstract style of your artwork for a while now, if I made an experimental art piece inspired by your composition style would you want me to credit you as an inspo? or would you just not be comfortable with me using your art as inspiration altogether? (which is fine btw, i don't wanna do smth that would make you uncomfortable)
oh sure! feel free! I don't mind at all lol
#ask#bakuspeech#tbh I do think this question is like. somewhat redundant in art. or idk unnecessary?#all of art is inspiration man. very frequently from art by artists you're never gonna have the chance to reach out to#large cause bc they've been dead for decades to a few centuries#and like. idk as an artist you kinda have to accept that people will actually look at ur art and interact with it in their own space?#so like. yeah there are things that if I see you do with my art I will block you for. but on principle I cannot bodily stop you#this is all to say that like. if the question is about my personal boundaries it's gonna be more complicated. like if you make something#with ill intention and then cite me as an inspiration source. of course I'd not like that#but also that will be on me to reflect on that and like. do what I need to do#but outside of that. saying 'don't take inspiration from my art' is 1/genuinely patently unenforceable and 2/antithetical to#the way that I do art at all#like! I thrive on remixing! it's what transformative fanstuff is. how would I ever get on someone else's case for doing the exact same thin#anyways yeah don't worry about it I guess all of the above is more like. somewhat of a blanket permission#do whatever you want with my art! if it's cool and u want me to see it feel free to tell me. if u know I wont like it dont get caught by me#I am aware that I have before mentioned things you can't do with my art. those are personal boundaries. I enforce it in my own spaces#I have no power in yours. it's just how it is. use ur judgement. have fun chillin#that's it babey I go get snack now. its past mid autumn so the moon cakes are on sale so Im gonn#a get a bag of dried corn

hey!! i was wondering if you could do sitting on itzy’s lap headcanons? kinda like your recent skz one ^ thank u <3
LITERALLY A YEAR AFTER i'm soo so sorry, maybe u don't even use your acc anymore, maybe you're not even a midzy who knows ?! I just stopped writing for a year, but when i came back to it, your request was still inspiring. I hope you like this, lovely anon <3 (it's acc worse than a year, it's 14 months lol)
Other verions: Yeji - Lia - Ryujin - Chaer - Yuna
sitting on itzy's lap out of habit.
Yeji - 422 words - fluff
Each member will be published separately (over the course of few days, i just need to finish writing one girl) because the post would be too long otherwise For a little twist it won't be exactly like skz, I'll make it "sitting on their lap as it is a habit of yours". Hope u like it and i hadn't forgotten u <3 lots of love
Yeji: would play along with it, hugging you from behind, until she'll realize what she's actually doing. Then she'd have a sudden moment of realization, and ask what you're doing here. Seeing how relaxed you are, she'd go back to her activities, accepting her fate, maybe even enjoying it. 
"Neeext". The monotonous voice of the make-up artist resonated in the busy waiting room, and despite all the noise and movement, the seat previously occupied by Lia found a new model. As everyone got swift and active, preparing for the showcase, you were the only calm one. Maybe, obviously actually, it was because you weren't involved in it, so the stress couldn't get to you. Itzy were the ones getting ready. Each member was immersed in something, and the professional staff too. Make-up, hairdos, outfits checks. The room was as busy as an anthill. Apart from you, only one girl was now calm: Yeji. She was peacefully scrolling through her phone, one remaining hair clip in her hair. She barely paid attention to her surroundings. She had been the first to get readied up, so she was enjoying left over time to destress and get her mind on something else. 
"Sooorry? Sorry !" Yeah... Obviously when in a busy room, people like you, just standing in the middle, get in the way of others. If you were gonna stay here with your friends and be useless, at least don't be bothersome. So while excusing yourself, you walked towards the couchy bench Yeji was sitting on. As she was the only one done, the whole bench was empty. But without even thinking about it, you walked up to her, laying your hands on her shoulders, and sat on her lap. She looked up startled. This had forced her to lift her eyes from her phone. And as she realized what just happened, a pinkish color started filling up her cheeks. 
"Uhmm-h-hey what's up? What are you doing?" 
"Uhm, sitting ?" You answered naturally, unbothered, not even realizing how awkward Yeji had gotten. "What are you even doing on your phone ? Sending bubbles to MIDZY? I swear you're always thinking about them~" you continued, clueless. Your body was perpendicular to her's. And while you still latched on to her shoulders, looking down to her phone screen, she stared at you right in the eyes for a couple seconds, while you remained unfazed. "Yes I do love them" she finally replied, lifting her phone up again and getting back to typing. "You wouldn't need to get jealous though”.
A\N is this good ? I really liked this request, which was my second ever request i got so i was over the moon, but for some reason i had stopped writing. I think it was because i was very busy in April of 2022. I had exams etc, and i never came back to it ! Until i had an awakening again, this April of 2023. Idk why. Who knows, maybe in a month i'll get bored of writing again (i wish not). But the idea of starting to write again came to me in late December. So basically this project is all over the place, but it's fun ~ ( i was writing the headcanons in a lodge in Hwange hahahah). Will my BLLK followers mind me posting this ? K-pop stans and animes fans are cousins anyways <3

kinda serious ask but do you feel like you put more effort than talent into your art? it took me a while to accept i'm not naturally gifted in art and that i should ACTUALLY PUT IN THE WORK so i wanna know if you feel the same / differently!! whenever artists go "idk i just draw" i'm like how. how!! XD
Ok! Serious answer for a serious ask!
I'll be honest and say the whole concept of 'talent' is mostly bullshit and not something that artists should ever aspire to hinge their work upon. Every drawing, painting, doodle takes ~effort~ no matter what! I think people misconstrue this idea of talent being necessary to make good art, when really it's just a matter of how you apply yourself and the skills you've developed thus far.
That being said--I think there is a level of instinct that may make these skills easier for some people than others, but most of it is always *learned* rather than something gifted.
To actually answer your question, lol, I do put a massive amount of effort into all of my drawings. That's not even just the physical aspect, I will sometimes spend hours researching references (for my latest COD pieces, I've spent an absurd amount of time googling uniforms and medals -_-)
So maybe the real incentive shouldn't be to achieve talent, but rather passion! Because that's where most of my own motivation comes from~
Also, bonus! because I'm oversharing--this is what my thumb looks like irl:
Tumblr media
I have literally deformed my finger to the point where the nail grows in dented from how much effort I put into my art (but also because I hold my pen like an idiot and it's too late for that to change 😭)
So yeah! Effort is real! Talent is BS!!!

stuff in my head about what's happening
there is absolutely no end to the drama that is Twisted Wonderland :-)
"what's happening now" so basically everyone is disappointed with how Vil's SSR has absolutely no story. no personal, no appearance in the event. he's just there to be pretty. and give furniture.
and you Know it's bad Bad when not only the EN fans but the JP fans are talking about it. and by talking about it, i mean
personal story has trended
a big twst artist, twst_13, made a tweet expressing that they were pretty upset with the lack of story, and well.. that honestly ended up being their last straw in leaving the twst fandom. and due to their rep, it really spread throughout the fandom and uh yeah here we are
and rn a lot of people are doomposting. just your regular twst afternoon
so yeah it's been fun so far B)
in all seriousness, ik a lot of people aren't happy with this. if you're really discontented with what's going on so far, email twst. giving feedback is the best way for them to know what their audience wants, and they do listen to their fans if enough people send them concerns. you can send through this link. i think it would be great to email them in Japanese, but if you really can't, wellll let's hope some people there understand English <3
anyway there's a cut because i currently have talk too much disease and have Opinions on this so i want to make it an easier scroll for people encountering this post.
hi welcome to under the cut, where you will find the real reason why i'm making this post: to not Shut Up about what's going on.
personally my thoughts on this are mixed. on one hand, I really don't mind some cards just getting furniture instead of stories because (1) guest room feature nice for me, but I also understand that those who aren't immersed in it would be more frustrated; (2) more importantly is the thought that with less stories to write about, the writing team would actually, idk, have more breaks. the main focus would be delivering a Good main story chapter, and they put event stories on a halt for a bit.
on the other hand, this Is an event SSR, so it feels weird. club cards are acceptable because at least it's new New art and kinda accepted already that it's not gonna get personals. the main story cards, like cerberus Ortho and upcoming general Lilia SSR, are acceptable because they are already accompanied by main story. some tsumsted cards like the SRs and Rs are acceptable too because the event story itself already accompanies them. but an event SSR of an event being reran. it's a bit disappointing.
but at the same time, i've also gone through the time that twst was slow in pacing. and it was really hard. that was the first wave of exodus, and it's still the biggest one to this day. so it's like, if guest room furniture can let them keep updating the game so that it doesn't go too quiet, then I'd really much rather have what we're having now over slow pacing.
and diasomnia has been in the waiting room for wayyyy too long. a lot of fans, EN and JP alike, have been frustrated with how long they had to wait for diasomnia content. and ik twst listens to complaints especially from their JP audience. so it's good that now they're shifting priorities to dia story and ensuring that fans aren't dying too fast. and ngl after how long pome and igni felt (emphasis on felt because pome actually wasn't that long in hindsight, it just felt long after how we went from frequent octa and scarabia to two-month halloween), it's good that main story is getting updated at a good pace.
most importantly, i really just hope that the writers have more room to breathe. making a lot of personal stories, as well as revising, editing, and getting approval would be understandably difficult. in the end, we really don't know the situation in the hq, so whatever is happening there, i hope that the teams and devs aren't burning out
at the same time though, i also don't want event SSRs like upcoming Silk Vil not having personals to become a norm. a big part of what makes twst enjoyable is their story and their characters. and much of what we know of the characters is found in the personal stories. but see, this is where sending in a concern is important!! because we want this game to be as best as it can, and simply complaining about it will cause an echo chamber of doompostings with no substantial effort being put into actually doing something about it. i'm probably gonna see if i could send a concern to them about it because yeah, I want to see twst doing better.

I don't wanna stick my head into an ongoing argument especially as a non-artist but it frustrated me how quickly you got dismissed out of hand despite. Idk. Also being a content creator and artist who relies on people seeing and engaging with your work, both with Aurora and OSP
I was not expecting a full adult blogger whose posts I like and respect to publicly dunk on me for things I did not say and opinions I do not hold because my two-sentence post about something unrelated pinged the little "this is about me so I am justified to scold" sensor, and I was not expecting them to double down into condescension, and then I was further disappointed to conclude that they probably blocked me, because my two attempts at reblogging with a de-escalation and apology vanished into the tumblr error dimension and I didn't have it in me to rewrite the whole thing a third time.
Tumblr's reading comprehension is poor for sure, but I think the larger problem is how the platform is optimized for sweeping statements to be read as intensely personal. If a generalized statement crosses my dash that could be read as in some way negative or dismissive of me or an identity I hold, it's easy to feel like there's nothing in the world but me and that poster purposefully sniping at me personally. If that were the reality, maybe it would be fine for me to retaliate. But the fact is, that poster doesn't know me, the post is presumably about what it says it's about, and reading farther into it would require context it's impossible for me to know.
In this case, for instance, this person doesn't seem to know anything about me, so they don't know that I am myself an artist, that I know a little something about building an audience, and that I enjoy having a platform that enables me to draw attention to lesser-known but extremely high quality work. Instead, they saw my flippant two-post "kinda rude and entitled when this very specific rude thing happens" and decided I was an ignorant child who needed schooling because I was being rude and dismissive to the struggles of them and theirs.
I know why this happens. Tumblr, for all its size, feels intensely personal. It feels significantly worse when it actually GETS personal, like their responses were to me. Their post makes good points and I'm glad it's raising awareness for lesser-known artists and workers in need of support, but I don't enjoy being turned into a strawman and paraded for ridicule, especially by someone whose experience on this platform runs deeper than mine. Frankly, I expected them to be experienced enough to be kind.
It feels very shitty, obviously. Like many neurodivergent people - not to play that card, but, ya know - I am very, very used to being misunderstood and then bullied or ridiculed for whatever misinterpretation is funniest or sounds the snappiest for a crowd. I am prone to overexplaining to avoid this - in case this post didn't make that obvious already. Of course, overexplaining is not a healthy solution and it doesn't even work. It took me a very long time to even begin to accept that ultimately I had no control.
The conclusion I eventually came to, after years of trying to find the perfect way to comport myself so I would never, ever be hurt in this way again, is that there is no way to do that. People can always choose to read you in the most uncharitable way possible, to disregard your personhood and turn you into a posterboy for whatever crack or hot take they want to use you for. However, the flawed premise I was operating under was that, if I failed to be 100% understood, I would deserve whatever shittiness followed because I had failed to prevent it.
And I don't. Nobody does, ever. Pain is not a thing made okay by deserving. I understand why they reacted the way they did to me, but what they did was wrong. It was unnecessarily cruel and harsh and it came unprovoked. I feel bad right now because someone hurt me because they thought it was morally righteous to do so, and even if I didn't comport myself flawlessly and beyond reproach, I didn't deserve to be hurt.
So I feel shitty right now, but I managed to have a nice evening regardless and hopefully I can digest this bad mood fast enough that I stop dreading checking my notes. Thanks to the people who unprompted sent me cute pet pics.

Why are people so obsessed with u not changing your style?
Like, I love your current syle but also it's your art and your time and you don't owe us a singular style or fannart of a singular character!
Change your style all you want! Experiment and draw whatever your heart desires!!
And to the people asking for Crees not to change styles, you're being rude!! You can't just walk into people's homes and ask them to keep eating the same food forever, same with art! If you like this one so bad, learn to draw and come up with something similar(not the same ofc) of your own, give it your own little spin, experiment yourself and have fun, try it, it'll be cool!
Idk maybe it's bc I'm an artist myself too but it really does read as rude. Like if I don't like how I draw a certain feature I'm more than open to accept constructive criticism and suggestions on other ways to draw it, but if I wanna change styles I don't appreciate people constantly telling me not to.
I understand many people see it as a compliment to go "we like this style!" But at some point, to me at least, it starts landing more like "nooo don't try new things and do what makes you happy and brings you funnnnnn, do what we want and like and only what we want and like!!"
Anyways sorry for the rant it's just fudgsyshsy all these asks land kinda weird, specially after you said that before the DCA you used to change styles constantly and had fun with it and got bored sticking to just one
Oh wow that was certainly unexpected! And I don’t have anything to add, just thank you for outspeaking this. I really don't blame people who are saying that they don't want my style to change, they came here because of it, after all. But I have a bad trait of trying to please everyone and it does slow me down a little
Actually, I already started changing my style bit by bit and it's not very noticable yet but I can’t wait to see where it leads me xd
...Also I really can't help but smile when I see people calling me just Crees :'D It just feels more personal because it's actually how my old (really old) friends call me, but people on tumblr usually call me CreesA or Creesart (which is fine of course)

I’m unaware of what exactly happened with crackstone in this au, but let’s assume Tyler survived the incident. I imagine that during the spider Enid au, reports of a hulking creature gets Enid’s attention. At first she’s all, “ooh boy, another big one, hopefully I won’t be as bruised after this.” To her surprise, unlike the other animal themed villains, this one looks like it’s covered with sticky ink, and has a giant, sharpened white spider on its chest. After the fight comes to a draw and this thing escapes, Enid senses something familiar about it. It also seemed weirdly jealous and angry at her. So, her initial guess is Tyler (idk how paranormal this au is, so he’s either a literal or metaphorical monster in the past) and she tries to prove it but can’t find any legit evidence.
Anyways, more plot stuff passes, the creature calls itself Venom, more Wenclair stuff, then we get to the reveal. Enid is sure Venom is Tyler, and at this point, with the help of Bianca, they’ve figured out it’s weak to certain noises. They get the symbiote off, and it’s…Xavier? (You mentioned his feeling weren’t reciprocated, and while maybe for the most part he accepted it, the symbiote brought out his worst qualities). Jealous tortured artist venom, hates spider Enid because he knows about Wenclair (even if they may not realize it themselves at this point). Idk what happens after that.
Most people like the symbiote becoming venom after it was once spider-man’s black suit, creating emo spider-man, but I’m kinda over those storylines, don’t need emo Enid, Wednesday would probably step in the second she started acting differently. I like the mystery on venom’s identity. One could say swapping out venom with green goblin would also work, but I figured that would actually be Tyler. Plus, the juxtaposition of what Xavier looks like and what venom’s looks like works better in my head. Plus, the inky type texture of venom vibes with the fact that Xavier draws and paints (also, the spider symbol can both be a bastardization of Enid’s symbol, and a reference to when he and Wednesday first met, she squashed his spider drawing).
Oof, that was a lot. I rambled for a bit my bad, the release date for the sequel game came out today so it’s on my mind. I may have more ideas but maybe later (I did have a passing thought that some version of Morbius exists in this au, and Yoko hates them because morbius is a bad excuse for a vampire wannabe)
Xavier with venom? Hm, I can see it but id need a reason as to why he'd go after spider Enid bc I'm keeping the secret identity a secret
Also bc if he knew abt Wenclair what's stopping him from attacking them at school

Harry & Dean’s dynamic vs James & Peter’s
(Specifically in my fic honey honey)
Okay so I have a lot of little rambles about my fic bouncing around in the empty void that is my brain and ig the whole point of this blog is to spew them out so here you go :)
Matt & Fatima as Sirius & Remus:
Idk how obvious this came across in the fic but a lot of the main kids in Marlene’s class were reflections of the marauders, the most obvious probably being Matt as a parallel of Sirius (controlling parents, outshined by younger brother, used humour to make up for it, etc) and by extent, that makes Fatima his Remus. Fatima as Remus is a bit less obvious but I sprinkled stuff in there (the werewolf Halloween costume, love of reading, and her parents were similar to my interpretation of Hope & Lyall). I think my favourite thing about this parallel is that Remus watches Fatima sing Yesterday at the talent show, which I imagine came across just as sorrowful as he felt at that moment, not to mention Matt being the one to play the piano for her
These similarities are quite set in stone, but when it comes to Dean and Harry as James and Peter, I feel those lines are a lot more blurred and subtle but I wanted to explain it more because I didn’t explore it as much as I wanted in the fic..
Dean as James: this is more so about Dean’s role in the fic as Harry’s friend rather than Dean as a person. He’s the first one to let Harry join his friend group when no one else would, the first one to accept his shyness and want to be friends with him anyway. I imagine this is similar to how James treated Peter, trying to make him more involved in their group, plus them both being sports fans was a fun little bonus
Dean as Peter: on the other hand, I didn’t characterise Dean like James at all, but rather more like Peter. He’s quieter and unobtrusively funny, and more of Dean’s own traits reflect Peter’s. I made them both artists (Peter being the one to draw the map), Dean had mice on his Christmas jumper and Mary says at one point that Dean can’t keep secrets (cue my scheming laughter)
Harry as James: do I even have to explain this one? Aside from literally sharing blood, Harry’s ‘James side’ comes through the more he’s with Marlene, like doing the magic shows and he gets into arguments with bullies in a James vs Snape kinda way often in defence of his friends rather than himself. And like with the other kids’ little references, Harry has the stag Christmas jumper and yes I made him a zombie for Halloween because James is dead, sue me
Harry as Peter: this is probably the comparison I actually explain most in the fic itself (i.e. in the bathroom scene with Peter) so I won’t go into it too much here, but Harry being so quiet and ignored mirrors Peter’s own reasons for betraying his friends, as if Harry and Peter represent different outcomes of the same person
So yeah rambling over, I just kinda wanted to get my thoughts in order about all this rather than it being a mess up in my brain and I hope people found it interesting, pls let me know if you noticed any of these similarities! I’m curious to know how it came across in the fic <3

PLS tell me about ur Claus headcanons!!!!!
smiles and grins super wide okiedokie!! this post has a few already listed BUT here r some more 👍👍👍
prefacing this with the fact that this is my time skip au and claus is like 17
he’s gay and asexual
he keeps to himself and doesn’t really talk to many people
he’s dating fuel (fuel doesn’t care for labels but likes all genders)
he’s like. 60% robot, many of his vital organs are mechanical (such as his heart obviously) he has like. a cpu in his brain probably LOL he can access google through that shit
he’s unable to talk to animals like his brother, however he can communicate with other chimeras!
he’s very tall! noticeably taller than lucas
he’s super pale since he like. died
he’s very reserved and has trouble emoting, he’s like. deadpan all the time
despite this! he’s surprisingly funny and has a really dry sense of humour
lucas and fuel are the only two people he really talks to
earlier on, he used to try and help around the village a lot. many people are either intimidated by him or pity him, neither of which he enjoys. he knows that he’ll never be who he once was again, so he doesn’t try to be. he doesn’t really help around the village as much anymore, people have accepted him but many ex-pigmasks are still frightened by him which #sucks for him
literally just wants to be a normal guy
keeps his old helmet in a closet lol
when he’s stressed he goes to a little secret spot in the sunshine forest that only he knows about
he’s actually just a massive fucking edgelord he’s the type of guy to correct you on the differences between goth and emo
he’s kinda just. a guy idk?? he is a tall tall ginger robot man who doesn’t talk to anyone how crazy is that
he just looks like this the whole time: 😐
he doesn’t really like talking about his time as the masked man, unless it’s to lucas or fuel
lucas wants him to make more friends
he’s very smart and good with technology! he’s successfully tweaked the mechanics on his arm before! he tried teaching lucas once but he didn’t get it
the ultimate chimera is like a big puppy to him :) he plays fetch with it
lucas caught him drinking gasoline once and neither of them talked about it to each other ever again
he purposefully doesn’t wear his iconic striped shirt outside, he isn’t that person anymore (he does wear it as pyjamas though!)
his mechanical parts are waterproof
fuel thinks his and lucas’ psi is the coolest shit ever
he still adores omelettes, he cannot cook for shit though <\3
he’s like. a tiny tiny bit silly #tbh
bro idk
he sometimes just. does things without explaining it ever. he’s just silly like that sometimes he’ll just leave the room without announcing anything then fly into the sky with those crazy jetpack wings he has and then he comes back like 19 hours later and won’t elaborate if anyone asks where he went
he likes video games! he and fuel are both ridiculously good at fps games
i headcanon that lucas is a really talented artist, he likes helping out as much as he can around the town and opened up art lessons for anyone interested! claus attends these sometimes (he is really really mediocre at art LOL)
still kinda stubborn but he’s literally never angry, if he doesn’t wanna do something he’ll just. leave the room LOL

Tumblr media
You knew you were strange to the people around you. It wasn’t something you could much help. You simply struggled to make connections, to speak up and to reach out. So, in your humble little collage, you really didn’t have any one close to you. People knew you, of course, maybe even knew of you… but no one seemed particularly close.
Being so distant made you feel a little other worldly at times. You questioned what your problem was, if any at all-- you were human, after all. Living and breathing, smiling sometimes, even laughing or crying. You had emotions-- you craved connection. Not like this though. Never like this…
Noriaki Kakyoin is a talented artist from Japan. He was a year ahead of you, being a senior this year, and would graduate soon. He majored in painting and was simply amazing at it. His skills rivaled the classics, so you believed. With talent like that, you would think he would be pretty popular. Yet… he was like you. He was an outsider. Were you brave enough, you might even call him a friend. But… you and Noriaki never really talked much outside the classroom. You and he had the same girlhood in cinema class this semester and he really helped you through it.
As it so happened, you had both missed a showing one day, so he invited you over to his apartment to watch it and work on your essays together. You couldn’t hardly believe your ears. An actual… real human person, inviting you over to where they lived? It seemed too good to be true. You worried you said yes too quickly when he invited you but he simply gave you a smile and offered his phone to put your number in. At the time, you weren’t sure what the two of you were so, you had just put your name (from school). He texted you immediately, sending a “hey, it’s Noriaki :)”. You tried to deny the heavy beating in your chest. It felt so… nice to be making connections.
Later that night, he was politely knocking at the door of your apartment and the two of you were chatting away as he walked you to his car. It felt so unreal to be this giddy. But you were shy too, giggling at every little thing and perhaps babbling a little too much about strange things. But Noriaki never seemed to mind, he matched your energy and even encouraged you to speak. It felt so nice to be noticed.
Offhandedly, Noriaki mentioned he had a roommate. A man by the name of Jotaro; he described him as a large, kinda scary silent type. He was really actually nice but rarely around due to what his major was. He went to another collage in the area, for marine biology and would be pursuing his masters in it. He really did seem intimidating, so upon arriving you were happy to find the two of you alone. Alone, in his apartment… You didn’t think twice when he locked the door behind him.
It all seemed so normal.
You felt awkward in a place so nice. Not that your apartment was terrible but it felt cheaper than usual when you entered this lavish place. Kakyoin didn’t think twice about it, mentioning Jotaro came from old money (the name Joestar did feel familiar, somehow). He offered you a drink and more than anything, you didn’t want to be rude, so you accepted. He returned with sparkling water in a nice glass. Though you didn’t particularly like it, you took it without complaint, taking a sip and trying not to wince at the burn of the carbonation.
You were too blind to question the weird taste.
So, the two of you sat down to watch the movie. It was late, the room was dimmed, you didn’t question your sleepiness as you took notes about the movie. Noriaki was ever diligent beside you, the steady scratching away of his pen and the slow drone of his timbre as he spoke you comforting as you drifting in and out of the conversation. Why were you so sleepy…? You looked to Noriaki, trying to ask for help but words were hard to form. All you could do was reach for him and watch as he gently took your hand in his, holding it to his cheek as sleep took you away...
 You’re on the cusp of waking up but you don’t want to. If your alarm hasn’t gone off, that means its before 9 am, or a weekend so… you don’t have to get up quite yet. Your bed is warm, comforting and you feel as if you haven’t slept this well in ages. Frankly, you don’t want it to end. You cuddle closer to whomever is laying with you and sigh in content, snuggling deeper in to the soft blankets and willing yourself a little more sleep.
Kakyoin thinks its adorable, how you’re already so close to him. The way your exhaled breath tickles his bare arm, how you curl into him so sweetly he couldn’t imagine another night without holding you. The sleep at lines your eyes and the way that your hair has messed up from how deep you slept… He saviors it all because he know soon, when sleep frees you from its grasp, it will be gone. You’ll be frightened, caught like a deer in headlights… But its okay, he thinks. Because it was he who caught you, he who can brush the stray hairs out of your eyes, and kiss the crown of your head with only the sweetest of intents…
And then you begin to wake, sleepy eyes slowly trying to make since of the world around you. This is not your messy room, over run with art supplies and projects and desk covered by your old tablet. This is not your old futon, nor is this the bed set your mother sent with you when you first stayed at the dorms. That is not your red hair, dangling innocently above your brows…
You turn to face him, bright red hair and once charming green eyes boring into you, looking to take all you’re willing to give. So many emotions flash through you—anger, fear, confusion, embarrassment— its hard to do much else but stare at Noriaki, looking hopeless. All he does is pull you a little tighter against him, to where your hands are pushed up against his bare chest. Words fail you as he leans over a dare place a kiss on your dry lips.
“You want to be loved, don’t you?”
His words his kiss, they all catch you off guard. You pause a moment, allowing him to dote on you as you consider what he said. You… did. You craved connection, wanted to be special to someone. You kind of even liked this, being held so close made your heart beat loudly in such an unfamiliar way… Was it even consider bad or wrong if you didn’t mind?...You weren’t sure.
All you knew was that Noriaki was right, you did want to be loved-- you wanted to be adored. If it was he who did it, even if it was like this… that was okay. So finding that, perhaps you weren’t as upset as you once were, you sighed softly, closing your eyes and nodding against his chest. Pleased, Noriaki kissed the crown of your head once more, closing his own eyes as well, even happier than the moment before.

I like fanvids and edits on tiktok but whenever I get videos about books...dear god, it's like getting slapped in the face. (This is about Stephen King's Carrie.)
So, yesterday I happened to see a video where a girl was complaining about how Stephen King described Carrie, in particular her body and how she got her first period. However, the whole thing was very... vague. What i got was that "he was creepy and disgusting and he should have never been allowed to write about underage girls". (Does this remind you of anything???? Because this does remind me of some specific fandom discourse... but I digress) so I went to the comment section, and 99% of the comments were actually about THAT infamous IT scene. So, yeah, it wasn't very enlightening as to what the fuck was wrong with King's depiction of Carrie...
So, let me ramble a bit about this.
I first read Carrie (in the italian translation) when I was about...14/15 I think. (So, about 23 years ago, for reference.) Bought a cheap paperback at the supermarket (yes). And I read it and re-read it. I think I know some bits by heart. I loved it. And why? Let me tell you.
First of all, as a teen who felt awkward and fucking ugly, I saw a lot of myself in Carrie. The descriptions of her body, which apparently creeped out those people in the tiktok video, felt right to me. It conveyed disgust and curiosity and the potential for pleasure. Idk if you get what I mean...
(Also, btw, all the people grossed out on tiktok forget that Carrie is actually at least 16 in the story so...i mean, she's not a baby. Also the story is set in the 70s if I remember correctly, and you don't need to have a history degree to know that at the time people...well, were doing a lot of "grown up stuff" around 16/17. That's just how...it was. But apparently gen z have no sense of history whatsoever.... sorry.)
Moreover, people were getting offended (so I gathered) because King was "kinda disgusting and creepy" because he wrote about Carrie getting her first period like that. *major sigh here*
Look, i got my first period when I was 11. And it was fucking traumatic for me. Basically, i've been having periods longer than the people in the video and comments have been alive. Periods are nasty, uncomfortable and a pain in the ass. They're gross... they suck. King described the whole thing in a way that felt...real. (and also symbolic in a way, but this is for another time.)
A man can't write about it? Why? No, don't answer... i'm afraid i know the reasoning behind this brand of idiocy.
I gathered that they complained about the sexual undertones. Have those people ever been teenagers? Teens have sex on their minds quite a lot. I was like that and I was also pretty annoying and weird about it.
And lots of the comments were about how King was high on coke most of the time back when he wrote his most famous stuff and I was... baffled. Lots of artists have created great stuff while being high as fucking kites... y'all are clearly not so open-minded and accepting of drugs as you claim to be if you're dismissing King's writing because he was on drugs.
Also, one last thing that made me laugh:
Someone in the comments wrote that "King is considered high art while twilight is considered crap". My sibling in Christ, I can assure you that Stephen King is definitely not considered high art anywhere. He's a genre writer and genre writers are basically never considered high art. Like, at all.

I'm starting to get into art again after years of starting, feeling too ashamed of my mediocrity, and quitting again. I refused to really ever identify myself as an artist, I was just artsy. I was an appreciator.
I've been doing a lot of reflection on it and there's something I really want to remember if I do take off with my art this time:
The way I talk about my progression in art does matter, especially in front of other people.
I think a big reason why I kept giving up and cursing my creative urges running into my undeveloped skill was that I've always been surrounded by artists that I look up to... And hearing them constantly talk about how their art doesn't look good enough to them.
Constantly pointing out mistakes or inaccuracies in your art and fixating on that with a negative tone does hurt your self esteem. It also affects the confidence of someone who is not as far along in building their craft as you are.
I understand the urge completely, but if we're going to talk about wanting to get away from the over commidification of our creativity and recreation in our culture we also have to confront our relationship with failure and struggle.
I don't want to talk too long on this because it's just stream of consciousness, but if I can challenge anyone reading this who practices negative self talk with their creative pursuits, or really any facet of their lives consider this:
Your frustration is okay. Your fear of rejection or ridicule is okay. It's a good thing that we seek connection, recognition, and acceptance from our peers, but we so often don't learn how to healthily handle these feelings in a way that serves our spirits in those exact ways.
Art is liberating because it allows us to connect to ourselves, to recognize ourselves, to understand ourselves, and with it we can accept ourselves.
"God my lines are so shit in this one" -> "oh wow that one kinda looks silly here lol, but it's cute and I think I can probably look at some other refs and get advice from other friend's processes to work it out next time. Can I get a hell yeah for the eyes though?"
Do y'all see what I'm getting at?? Mistakes can be so exciting! They can be fucking fun! Think of how lucky we can feel when we notice the specifics of our mistakes, because now we have a new toy to play with! My lines are weird! I get to spend time really looking at the world and taking in how lines work! I exist! I have form!! I get to share with other things that also have form and I'm not really alone because I share weird lines with so many things in this world, like bro.
I don't care what kind of art you do, if you're creating you are entrenching yourself so richly in your life because you have to acknowledge the world around you. Idk about y'all, but colors are so much richer to me now, lines and shapes are so distinct, I'm looking up and I feel like I'm actually in the world rather than just looking at it through a glass pane. I fought so hard for this and nearly died for this feeling, and here I am, and here you are reading this, and I'm so fucking grateful

Really hate it when white women in this hobby talk about how black, asian, indigenous, latino, etc people deal with the hobby. And yes, it is specifically white women, not noticed this with male doll collectors tbh.
Like when it comes to stuff like diversity, rep, accuracy and visibility in the hobby, and you have Idk, someone talking about the experiences as an indigenous doll owner, like the lack of good sculpts, or how hard it is to get big with more indigenous dolls and styles, and then some white woman comments something like "As a white woman not really my point to comment on anything, but I really learned a lot!" How was it relevant that you're white? Why can't you just say "Thanks I learned a lot" the "It's not really my place to comment on" also feels like they try to pull away from the responsibility of how anyone not-white feels about their behaviour and conduct in the hobby. And it's like mostly white women doing it, I've seen black, asian and latino people react to these kinda posts, and they actually accept what the indigenous person talks about, and comment about the issue and how to deal with it. They aren't indigenous, yet somehow black, latino and asian, etc hobbyists don't use their non-indigenousness as a shield to avoid commenting and engaging properly into the issue. (Obvs this counts for black, asian, and latinos who aren't also mixed with indigenous, or are indigenous black asian or latino where they're from : P)
Or when the comment is like "As a white woman I just didn't know about these things" it's not about you being white, you were just uneducated as an individual and try to blame it on being white? Just say "I didn't know about these things." It always comes across that, even when white women learn from people who aren't white like them, they still have to make it about being white and about themselves. When it's not, you either didn't know, or you're uneducated, making it about whiteness almost feels like it derails the focus of the topic about not knowing or being uneducated, like you can pull away from that responsibility again by using your whiteness as a shield and blaming your uneducated-ness on your whiteness.
I don't think they do it deliberately, but I feel like wording it around their race, when it's about a different race, almost makes it more about them again, instead of the actual focus of the issue being talked about.
What's even more infuriating is when white women suddenly do feel like they have a right to police the hobby in a way that affects anyone not white. Why do you as a white woman suddenly think that after all the bullshit you pulled, you get to tell people "If you're white don't you dare buy a black doll from that black artist!"? What the fuck even is that? You think that the black artist needs you to sabotage their sales? You think you get to speak over them? Why do you think you get to backhandedly pretend you're helping and protecting "poor black doll owners" by basically telling people to "Don't buy the doll, because they don't belong to white people." I know some people are gonna be confused, but I've seen it often enough that there's a pattern that white women all of the sudden think they have the right to make these kinda comments, and discourage other white people from buying certain dolls, even though 5 minutes ago they said they themselves said they have no right to interfere with non-white business, as if the sellers and artist can't talk for themselves, if they had any objections about who buys their dolls, unless Whitey McSaviour came jumping in on her shining white horse.

I wanted to make a proper post about this so here I goooo
If you follow me, you’ll know that I absolutely adore Douxie. He’s darn near everything I could ever love about a character. Heck, about a person. I mean he’s a cool goth-punk rocker who’s kind-hearted, who’s passionate about doing the right thing, who looks out for others, steadfast in his values, is a helpless goofball bean of a moppet, etc, etc. As I’ve said before, Douxie’s character truly revitalized the artist and writer in me. Easily one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Aaahhh I could go on and on about how much Douxie has inspired me.
*big sigh* And so....
Last year, as I sat in the aftermath of RoTT and lamented the unfair shortness of Wizards, I started imagining the idea of a Douxie spin-off series. I brainstormed that it could be called Hisirdoux: Tales of Arcadia or even just Hisirdoux and be all about Douxie’s life before the events of the main series or what he was up to in specific episodes of Trollhunters and 3Below, some kind of follow-up from RoTT (memories and Master Wizardness restored, of course), or all of the above! (And of course more Zoe!)
.....Yeah, it’s probably not gonna happen :’) Which, y’know, is okay and I have accepted it lol
BUT THEN
It’s a few months old but I only recently stumbled upon Aaron’s tweet:
Tumblr media
Funny thing, I actually saw someone ask Aaron about the possibility of a spin-off (couldn’t find the tweet, sadly) and I remember him replying that, as much as he’d love that, it wasn’t his call to make.
.........LOOK I AIN’T TRYNA SAY NOTHIN’...............buuuuuut idk???? kiiiiiinda seems kinda, I dunno, kiiinda...y’know...y’know???
Ahem. 
Anywho, this most likely doesn’t mean anything, just a CRUEL playful comment in response to a ToA fan (btw it is really awesome that Aaron still engages with the fandom from time to time ^^). It’s more than likely that Douxie will forever be a small, sweet treasure. And ya know what? That’s perfectly fine. Yeah, his series was done kinda dirty but boy did that lad still shine. I mean an entire zine was made just for him. So many people adore Douxie, and it’s clear as daylight as to why. He’s not just a cool character. He’s an example. We may have only had him for 10 episodes, but the inspiration, the impact, carries on. So yeah...Aaron’s tweet is probably just a teasing throwaway.
............................
But holy hexes if it doesn’t spark an inkling of hope XD
