#however little time I had #I do believe they deserved a winter vacation filler episode #so I made this and kindly ask you to not zoom in #it's a mess guys #but from afar it's great #motion blur my beloved #sebaciel #sebaciel week 2023 #kuroshitsuji #black butler #ciel phantomhive #our ciel #sebastian michaelis #my art #sketch #(?) #I'm so dumb for not doing as much as sketches before the week and now I shall suffer the punishment of my own procrastination #(look at and then post unrefined works)

devotion not as worship. but as recognition. as "i want to stand with you, and beside you." as learning. as understanding. as "i want to know you." as "i am making the choice to get to know you." as persistence. as care. as "you are knowable." as "you are lovable." devotion not as idolatry. but devotion as mortality. as a reflection. "you and i, together. equals. partners." devotion as accompaniment. devotion as humanity.

#fanghua #mysterious lotus casebook #cdrama ramblings #im doing great yall i am i am i am #not a vase to be admired or appreciated from afar #not an object to be kept or sought after #not a god to long for and chase #you are human and a whole person #i am willing to be a human and whole person with you #with you #WITH YOU #BESIDE YOU

"every boy band dance move i know, I have learned against my will"--Kevin, knowing full well all jeremy had to do was grab his hand and drag him to the center of the living room to TEACH HIM said moves

OMG anon, how did you know that I have an entire headcanon around Kevin being smooth as f*ck on the dance floor? But it's ENTIRELY AGAINST HIS WILL.

Like literally, there's a scene in Once in a Blue Moon that I'm writing where Jeremy is going to drop this knowledge bomb on Jean and blow his freaking mind. (TBD if it makes final cut - if not, I'll come back and post it here.)

But yes. Absolutely. Jeremy knows Kevin's got the moves like jagger. Boy has instinctive rhythm and grace. It's that natural athleticism (and the boy's ability to pop it and lock it.) He takes full and unabashed advantage of this knowledge and drags Kevin into the living room to teach him the entirety of N*Sync's Bye Bye Bye so he can have an absolute MOMENT the next time they're at the club.

#he also makes him learn thriller #bc Jeremy wants his 13 going on 30 moment #he's going to make it happen #and Kev's going to do it with him #this poor boy #he never stood a chance #Andreil staring at him in shame from afar #Andrew completely disowns him for the next month #he lets every shot go into his goal in petty revenge #kevin day #jeremy knox #jean moreau #neil josten #andrew minyard #aftg #all for the game #asks #great ask anon #absolutely hilarious imagining it #lovely people

Hi Alondra!! Thank you for replying back to me on the New Year's fanart!! there's really no pressure replying and I truly appreciate every response 🥹❤️ hearing that you still love the New Year's fanart makes me so happy!! (I promise there is more fanart for NC in the near future!!) I’m glad you took some time off social media for your mental health because that’s very important!! I’ve been quite busy lately too so I’ve been off social media more than usual this past week. I’m also happy that you’ve been sticking to drawing daily for 30 minutes!, and even if you miss a day here and there it’s still great! There are days where I just don’t have the energy to draw, so if you need to take breaks from that too it’s okay! But I really do get excited hearing these updates! Also, omg I’m very happy that you drew Miguel in a way that you liked and you’re feeling more comfortable and confident with drawing!!! Hearing that makes me so excited and i’m rooting for you!!! ❤️

Also, I just have to mention again that I’m really happy you took a little break from social media and writing, sometimes it can be too much and the last thing I’d want is for you to be burnt out from everything! (and I'm happy my little words of encouragement helped you decide to take some days off, I want to make sure you're doing okay too 🥺) you really do so much on here and you deserve the rest! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for all the support and words of encouragement with my schooling!! (and when you mentioned getting another degree in the future- I might actually consider it!! maybe even study in a subject more for fun!) I’ve been very busy with everything and preparing for the first presentation of my capstone this Monday (the nerves are there but I'll maybe update you on how that goes! 😭) but one thing’s for sure- I still love to take the time to go on here and talk to you when I can!! And I’m so excited to read the next part when it comes out!! (please don’t stress about when you’re going to post it though 🥺) And I also promise that I read all your responses too, often times more than once because they make my day!! They mean so much to me and you don’t have to worry about replying late or anything, I understand! the weather where I live has also been arctic, haha!! (no fr today when I went out I was still shivering with all my layers 😭) and if it's also still cold where you are stay safe and warm too!! I hope you’re doing well and that you’re having an amazing week Alondra!! sending you a warm virtual hug, friend!!! ❤️✨❤️

Here are some little sketches of encouragement with your writing and everything!! a soft smiling Miguel and ok I imagine the 2nd one Miguel is giving look of like he’s proud of you 🥺 but also, he just has that signature smirk too 🤭

@sunsetdoodler thank you for being so understanding and of course, I love talking with you, so I've been trying to reply to everything!! I just got really behind on my responses 😭 but yes, I LOVE the New Year's fanart!!!

Still thinking about it and how cute your OC and Miguel look together, I can't wait to see them again (and omg, more fanart!!! I can't wait to see it but of course, take your time!!!)!! And you being off social media is so understandable with your school!! I hope everything is going well so far!! I'm thinking about you and sending you the best of luck, and hoping everything goes smoothly for you as always!!!! ❤️ Also, thank you for the well wishes on my drawing journey!! I took off yesterday and today because I've been busy doing other things but I'll hopefully be back to it tomorrow, thank you, really!! And yes omg, I've been studying Miguel (I've been studying your fanart and other lovely artists' fanart plus using the amazing drawing references I've seen on here; that's actually how I finally got his hair down haha), and feel like I'm moving forward in drawing him, but it's a working process! 😂

And thank you, omg!!!!! 🥺🥺 I was debating taking a break because I always feel so guilty disappearing from social media even if it's just a day or two, but your words of encouragement to take it easy helped and I decided to do it. I tend to feel a little off after the holidays and just feel overwhelmed by everything, so this little break really helped my mental health, and honestly - it helped my writing! I was lowkey forcing myself to write prior to it, but all is well now, and I feel great now. I've done so much more writing in two days than I did over the span of several days prior to my break, so yay!! About your schooling - of course!!!!! I'm wishing you the best and rooting for you!!! As I said already, I'm always hoping and wishing that everything goes smoothly for you!!! I hope you're taking care of yourself and that these first two weeks have been kind to you so far!!! You should def consider earning another degree for fun if you're interested!! I'd love to hear what you'd like to do if you were to get another one (if you're open to sharing, if not, I understand, so no pressure!!)!! Omg, your first capstone presentation is this Monday!! I'm sending you, and will continue to send you, all the best of luck!!! I know you got this and it'll go great!!!!!! 🥺✨ It'll be one presentation down, and hopefully it will get easier as the semester goes!!!! And thank you for taking time out of your day to come on here and talk to me, it truly means so much to me!!! Please know that I understand life gets crazy, so I totally understand if you can't reply right away or not at all (don't feel pressured to, friend!! I get it!!)!! And I'm happy that my words make your day, yours make my day as well!! I always look forward to reading your responses/asks!!!❤️ And omg @sunsetdoodler I hope you're staying warm and cozy, too!! It has been very cold this week for us (there was even a busted pipe this morning because of how cold it has been this whole week). I hope you stay warm and be safe if you're out on the road driving!!! I hope you're having a fantastic week, too and that you have a great weekend!! Hopefully you get to do some fun cozy things and relax a bit despite your presentation!!! Sending you the warmest virtual hug and the best wishes as always, friend!!!! ❤️✨❤️

And OMG THE SKETCHES!!!! Miguel saying "you got this!" - that's so ENCOURAGING!!! 🥺 And his proud face in the second sketch - stop, now I'm going to imagine that Miguel cheers me on when I write and try to draw him and the second sketch is him watching me while I do my thing,😭😭 THANK YOU, FRIEND!!!! These sketches are so freaking CUTE!!!!! And his signature smirk - everything this man does gets me, I swear!!!! 🤭 (I'd get so distracted if I saw him like this actually) I'm going to have these sketches pulled up whenever I write or draw, for real!!! THANK YOU!!!! ❤️✨🥺

#the sketches are so encouraging for real!! ❤️ ❤️ #About to write for a bit and I'm going to have them displayed for inspo and encouragement 🥹 #I really do think he'd be so encouraging and just watch proudly from afar like ---yeah - there they are - doing their thing 🥹 #these are really important thoughts of course #miguel living rent free in our heads!! #But thank you so much!!! #I hope you're doing great friend and that everything is going smoothly!!!!! #please take care of yourself and have an amazing weekend!!! #also stay warm with this weather!!!! #asked and answered

frickin’ boat guy

#that's the one part of the finale that truly broke me #if there had been no boat guy #and i could just imagine ted and rebecca pining for each other from afar for forever #i would be golden #but of course as soon as boat guy first walked onto our screens #there was never going to be anything but boat guy #god damn it boat guy #(i realize that i'm very petty about boat guy #i don't pretend to have the objective right stance on this #it's just one of those times where one must succumb to one's pettiest impulses and feel one's pettiest feels) #dollsome's deep thoughts #ted x rebecca #ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso #i get that rebecca deserved a great romantic love! i get that! i'm being a jerk to her! but BOAT GUY?

#things i take yeaaaaaaaaaaars to get to #i've always seen it from afar and you know i love and respect the gays #but i never know what to expect from bl (i'm a fujo tm tho !!!!) #so i've always thought..aah .. one day... #more recently i got myself the sarazanmai comic collection (dk what's it's called) and nakamura asumiko drew a little comic in it #and i love her art #i was really curious about it being animated.. frankly the movie on its own was beautiful... ooh how great it is when a beautiful story #beautiful art gets transferred to another medium in this way.. #so beautiful.. #when i get money i'll buy the manga ^^ !! definitely.. #nanabim

God. Over a MONTH until I see my special little guys live. Will I be able to keep myself from going on YT and spoilering myself about the setlist? WE'LL SEE!

#last time it was way too classics-heavy for me #they'd better play some songs that nobody likes this time! #i mean... #i mean some lesser KNOWN songs #i'd kill for something from beloved antichrist #you have lori back! make them sing jewels from afar! #if it were up to me the entire playlist could be from 2007 onward #or just zero famous songs #i don't care #how many times do really have to watch them play cults of the shadow #yeah great song but like #there are 5 pro-shots of it on yt..? #i know some fans demand the classics and they have to play them #but i really don't #i still remember christofer saying many years back that they do something different on every tour to keep ppl coming back #which is great #i guess a certain level of repetition is just... demanded #maybe it's fun too #idk

Someone I follow put that horrible trash post about Tim on my dash and I am so upset. I get that Tim stans are obnoxious, but why take it out on my baby? (the kids are all my babies) Anyway do you have spoons for a Tim Drake appreciation post, of times he's been good, clever and kind?

i don't even know what post you're referring to, but let's go anyway. For lack of energy, I hope instead of comic refs, you will accept brief rambling on why I like him.

I love that Tim is Just Some Guy. I like that he could have had a totally normal life, but decided to get involved in this mess because he wanted to help. I love that when he did quit for a while, he couldn't resist going back, because helping people in need was too embedded as a habit.

I love that he has the absolutely insane and unhealthy habit of seeing people much older and more experienced that him and being like I Can Fix Them. (Most notably: Bruce.) Love that he is often right about what people need yet incompetently tactless in trying to convince them, because flawed characters are fun!! He really, really wants to help, and he's not half bad at picking people apart, but he is so intent on Fixing Things that others don't always want to be fixed.

Love that he's perfectly capable of working on his own, but craves connection. Love that he never minded being a sidekick, because he loves team ups! He just wants to work with everyone!

Love that he struggles to figure out how he feels about his dad, desperately wants to make the relationship work, feels guilty for being a bad son one minute then lashes out at his dad for being a bad parent the next; it's a really interesting relationship to me.

Love that he tried to be Super Cool and Competent to his friends, and then they saw through that immediately and have mocked him ever since. Love that he goes out of his way to avoid being Known and then is absolutely delighted any time someone pushes past that to know him anyway. Like my dude!! Just let them know you in the first place!!!

I love that he's really thoughtful and intent on Symbols, and really gets what Batman and Robin mean to Gotham and the world at large, because he knows what they meant to him. And I very much love that he is, first and foremost, a Dick Grayson fan.

(Mostly, I'm surprised to realize I can write this much about why I like Tim, because 90% of my enjoyment of him is less a thoughtful essay and more [marge simpson meme] i just think he's neat!)

#* #ask #anon #*dc #dc #tim drake #pros of having no idea what the horrible post is: my tumblr experience is great and i've picked great people to follow #cons: i miss out on observing drama from afar :( #10to2

Brutus by the Buttress is just an absolute experience of a song

#'My name is Brutus and my name means heavy' #'So with a heavy heart I'll guide this dagger into the heart of my enemy' #'My whole life #you were a teacher and friend to me #Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy' #'I too have a destiny' #'This death will be art' #'The people will speak of this day from near and afar' #'This event will be history' #'and I'll be great too' #'I don't want what you have' #' I want to be you'

it makes me feel so uncomfortable and in general Not Good when men try to begin relationships with me on a basis of how interesting and exciting and novel they find my ideas bc im just like. ok.

like its nice and sweet and i'm glad you feel that i'm challenging you to grow but. if you're not challenging me then this relationship is impossible to approach with any level of intimacy - where's the reciprocity? where am i challenged?

the thing is, part of the reason that i don't tend to date untraumatised people my age or younger, and why i've historically preferred older men, is like. i don't want to look after somebody and be their daddy or teacher or whatever. i hate that shit. i am not naturally nurturing, its very hard for me, and i hate being cast in that role bc people are attracted to their interpretation of me as authoritative or educated or whatever

but sometimes i talk to older men who like... are in a midlife crisis stage or otherwise feel at a dead end and they're super into My Potential and me As A Muse and cast me in the role of like, the young man who's going to rejig all their ideas and spark the fire of their life again

and im just like. no actually i am not going to do that. i'm a human being, not your inspiration

#musings #like all this stuff is one thing for like #a parasocial dynamic for somdone to use me as from afar? #like if a reader or fan finds me inspiring and can use the idea ofbme to spur them on #thats great! im glad they can use me that way #but thats like. an idea of me. its entirely divorced from my life #theyre not being intimate in a relationship with me as they do that

[wildflowercryptid]

to the person who took the time to go through defoko's crunchy voice files and make a vcv bank for them : i am getting down on one knee and kissing your hand oh so tenderly.

#the stuff i've seen people do with their vcv is amazing (especially when they make defoko growl holy shit) #like joey's kick back cover with defoko?? ABSOLUTELY KILLER. it grabs you by the throat and whirls you around like a rag doll #i just find it so endearing that people put so much care into a default vb that has (admittedly) poor quality when it comes to recording #but that also results in such an interesting sound especially when you use their vcv #it still has this robotic quality that a vcv seems to usually alleviate and i think that makes defoko sound really unique i love it #also just found out someone made a vcv bank for fucking dectalk paul... it kinda rocks ngl #ppl do crazy stuff with utau and i adore that #once again wishing i could grasp music better so i could mess around with vocal synths more #i have tried playing around with ruko in openutau but i only loaded a ust and listened to how it sounded (which wasn't great??) #(not the fault of the ust maker it just had some pitches i don't think ruko is optimal for singing in) #maybe some day i'll actually sit my ass down and learn to music but not today #today i shall just appreciate utau from afar #defoko #mj.txt
