#but i was too lazy to keep looking

[marypsue]

So if you follow me (and aren't just stopping by because you saw one of my funney viralposts), you probably know that I've been writing a bunch of fanfiction for Stranger Things, which is set in rural Indiana in the early- to mid-eighties. I've been working on an AU where (among other things) Robin, a character confirmed queer in canon, gets integrated into a friend group made up of a number of main characters. And I got a comment that has been following me around in the back of my mind for a while. Amidst fairly usual talk about the show and the AU and what happens next, the commenter asked, apparently in genuine confusion, "why wouldn't Robin just come out to the rest of the group yet? They would be okay with it."

I did kind of assume, for a second or two, that this was a classic case of somebody confusing what the character knows with what the author/audience knows. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like it embodies a real generational shift in thinking that I hadn't even managed to fully comprehend until this comment threw it into sharp perspective.

Because, my knee-jerk reaction was to reply to the comment, "She hasn't come out to these people she's only sort-of known for less than a year because it's rural Indiana. In the nineteen-eighties." and let that speak for itself. Because for me and my peers, that would speak for itself. That would be an easy and obvious leap of logic. Because I grew up in a world where you assumed, until proven otherwise, that the general society and everyone around you was homophobic. That it was unsafe to be known to be queer, and to deliberately out yourself required intention and forethought and courage, because you would get negative reactions and you had to be prepared for the fallout. Not from everybody! There were always exceptions! But they were exceptions. And this wasn't something you consciously decided, it wasn't an individual choice, it wasn't an individual response to trauma, it wasn't individual. It was everybody. It was baked in, and you didn't question it because it was so inherently, demonstrably obvious. It was Just The Way The World Is. Everybody can safely be assumed to be homophobic until proven otherwise.

And what this comment really clarified for me, but I've seen in a million tiny clashing assumptions and disconnects and confusions I've run into with The Kids These Days, is that a lot of them have grown up into a world that is...the opposite. There are a lot of queer kids out there who are assuming, by default, that everybody is not homophobic, until proven otherwise. And by and large, the world is not punishing them harshly for making that assumption, the way it once would have.

The whole entire world I knew changed, somehow, very slowly and then all at once. And yes, it does make me feel like a complete space alien just arrived to Earth some days. But also, it makes me feel very hopeful. This is what we wanted for ourselves when we were young and raw and angrily shoving ourselves in everyone's faces to dare them to prove themselves the exception, and this is what I want for The Kids These Days.

(But also please, please, Kids These Days, do try to remember that it has only been this way since extremely recently, and no it is not crazy or pathetic or irrational or whatever to still want to protect yourself and be choosy about who you share important parts of yourself with.)

#also Kids These Days please if nobody's told you: you can't send cheques through email #and if somebody sends you one through email They Are A Scammer and Yes They Are Scamming You #that's not related I just am constantly tearing my hair out about how many people of ALL AGES don't know that #something something something invoking the fuck word in the hopes it will keep this poast from search #i love how the internet has created Magic Words Of Power #unfortunately most of those words perform the action of 'summon jackass idiots to comment on your post' #i am paraphrasing the comment that was left on my AU fic because I am too lazy to go looking for it right now but #it was very similar to that wording #this is just a thing that has been rattling around in my brain and it was finally smoothed out and polished enough to come out

kinda missed half the description but this is how i imagine that scene with The Empress from ep 19 looked like

#the anatomy also said goodbye on this one and i was too lazy to fix it since its just a sketch so like. don't look at it for too long #these three idiots were also in the middle of a concert while grizzly described this beautiful magical scene but i decided not to draw it #ALSO can someone please tell me if its known what height they all are??? like. some people draw gill shorter some people draw jay taller #i have no idea what height they are and i don't want to keep drawing them the same height because its boringggggg #just roll with it #jrwi riptide #jay ferin #gillion tidestrider #chip jrwi #jrwi chip #the cool empress malice lady #my art #sketch

Okay so I just noticed that the kissing scene in challengers literally just tells the whole story

#like i just realized this and if this was intentional i am impressed #but like if you watch it and compare it to the time line #the three of them are together at the beginning #then tashi kisses patrick while art kisses her neck #mirroring tashi dating patrick first while art still tries to win her favour #then she kisses art while patrick kisses her neck #which mirrors tashi ending up with art while patrick keeps showing up and pursuing her #and then it ends with patrick and art kissing while she watches #which of course mirrors the final match #idk if i am just noticing a coincidence that the order lines up like that #but i also feel like that was completely intentional and i am very impressed #like that is DETAIL and i love it #im too lazy to actually look it up to see if this was on purpose #challengers #challengers movie #tashi duncan #art donaldson #patrick zweig #kate's post

Semi-back and attempting another legacy, here goes! From humble beginnings come great things — Anthon learns to be self-sufficient, as he takes on various pursuits like camping, outdoor cooking, wildlife observation, gardening, and other eco-friendly activities...all while homeless (or at least, while I work on building his dream micro home)!

Challenge credits go to the amazingly talented @thepettymachine ;)

#lol i know i keep using the same sims #but im too lazy to create new ones #anthon is so charming though and i love him #like look!! not even an hour of gameplay and he ends up like that <3 #whimsy stories: gen 1 #ts3 #sims 3

:OOO hello. anyway since these are all posters i'd have in an ideal world or smth and i'd like to store the high res versions somewhere,,, here's the google drive folder for them? hehe ''

close up!

#adamandi #vincent aurelius lin #i'm back with the posters! or smth! idk!! #i'm maybe just a bit obsessed with vincent. such a Character. #where can i run is sustaining me single-handedly through this exam season (<- has cried thrice in the last two days; alas; but moving on) #my stress response was that in a fit of apathy i shut myself down from academia and stopped to paint this #six hours total? on this funky little thing! had to push myself to finish the magnifying glass but!! looks so cool. i'm impressed with my e #fun fact: all the shades are hand-coloured. aka everything is digitally hand painted hooray!! i havent painted for a long time (ish) #smth about this musical makes me want to paint. it's very lovely that way #it's also a miracle i haven't gotten carpal tunnel or any wrist injuries so far... i'm a lucky person! hooray #i had so many thoughts to ramble about and now i don't recall any of them. #-! about this piece: inspired specifically by that one line that i doodled in the margins of a math practice last night #the diagonal slant was very. thinky. the rendering and angle were kinda contradictory to do but it's fineeee (draft was diff. pov) #i liked the red abstraction. and the way that people (misc) gave same vibes as red blood cells. #green for vincent because contrasting colour!! considered a spotlight that was more obv bc. again theatre lighting is so cool. but that was #a bit too literal? i think. so just fun little highlights. no one look at the accuracy of anything here though.. shadows do Not do this #also like hehehe lin. forest. forest of people. i really liked thinking about that. hehehe #i didn't know the font to use!! or quote!! so i slapped on the name of the musical and called it a day... the blank one is in the google- #-folder if you want to add your own stuff :') also also i wasn't sure about cropping at all. so again high res in google drive link #which is under the keep-reading sign! kind of a choose your own adventure because i'm lazy :3 #ajhshdhfhfhfhf i think i've been fuelled by the tags under each post so far. so intensely. so very nice. #also when the cast or creators drop fun facts... serotonin right there.. they're all so nice waaagh it's so cool that they like my stuff >< #<laughs> really grateful that the whole fandom's so sweet <3 thank you for your support TvT #alright!! off to mess about with chemistry. jiayou me. #oh yes. a post script about the cropping crisis: i wasn't sure how small i wanted to make him. in proportion to the crowd. so if you see it #on mobile ig it's tiny and on laptop it kind of makes sense ...

I feel like if talon was a neopet he'd be a kyrii..!!

i saw this ask cut off in my activity tab and was thinking "oh please say kyrii" as i opened it

yes!

darigan kyrii, but wit faerie elements (wings and antennae) ^_^

#too lazy to fix the glaring tangent #skunk mail #Anonymous #a doodley #blue is my favorite color but its so hard to work with. true blue is TOO boring and swinging too far green or red breaks the pattern really #easily #anyway yeah. i wanted to add bright yellow greens here as contrast to the blue purple but he doesnt have any green themes at all #closer to blue looked too muted. so went with the teal even though he's not a teal guy either. close enough to blue #original darigan kyrii colors are fitting. talon loves royal and navy blue but its easy to represent him with red #he has purple scheme regularly because of dis (in his usual hair and eyes) #so making the beast blue purple and keeping the eyes leaning toward red fits ! #the big ears and the teeth and nose...kyrii just looks like the bat monster version i wanna make for him

dishes are forever

#I MISSED HAVING A TABLET!!!! #ht papyrus #a gentle touch when you're sad #a menacing touch when it would be funny #he can do it all #LITTLE PRO TIP LIFE HACK THOUGH: IF WASHING DISHES MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET #MAYBE YOU HAVE TOO MANY DANG DISHES #BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAVE 80% FEWER DISHES THAN BEFORE MEANS I DO DISHES MORE OFTEN BUT IT'S SO EASY #AND NOT SOUL SUCKING AT ALL #JUST MY EXPERIENCE!!!!!! THAT'S ALL #I'm sure when i am reunited with my other dishes i will languish in bed staring at this psyching myself up to the task #but i like keeping random jars from food i bought and dishes that i picked up in different places. #they physically remind me of everywhere I've been and sometimes i just look at them and remember where I've been #my favorite is the old ratatouille jar i bought at carrefour in Chengdu #that jarred ratatouille was the nastiest food to grace this earth #i bought it in case it would make a quick easy meal (you don't really find those at the grocery store in China at least not back then) #but even my cheap lazy self couldn't eat it #so no one ever consumed that ratatouille but the jar was pretty big so i put other stuff in it and now it's my dish #and somehow the label is glued on PERMANENTLY it has never washed off after all these years #actually idk maybe it eventually did it isn't here for me to look at but it lasted a long time i know that

my version of imogen's new outfit !!

#critical role #imogen temult #bells hells #cr3 #i miss her!!!!! #anyway this design took forever to land on #would love to make it as complex as the official artist does but i am lazy #and drawing the complex patterns is just gonna give me a headache #i will instead give the illusion of detail #eventually i will draw a version of the coat with sleeves off & hood off #but she's in da cold so #tried to keep some cowboy elements too :] #she has spurs & the rowel is a flower cause of flora :) #and ofc tassels cause that'll look cool with her powers #anyway super excited for tonight i am begging matthew to not kill them <3
