Day finally gets a dog lol

As Day matures, he becomes more grounded and sensible, not as prone to candid and loud outbursts and displays of excitement. He's a lot more restrained and mild-mannered. Calmer, thoughtful. He acts more adult, basically. But when he's feeling safe and in Nolan's company, the childlike side of him comes out like a sun behind the clouds. The bubbly, bouncy, excitable side of him that he feels more comfortable expressing around Nolan. The pouting, giggling, teasing... I wanted to see it again.

---

It's Day's birthday. Nolan has a surprise for him. He blindfolds and plugs his ears, driving him to a place. "Is this a kinky sex thing?" Day hazarded and Nolan sputtered. He hadn't even thought about that. "No!" He paused, considering. "Unless...you want it to be?"

"No, we're meeting my mom later!" Day retorted, a little scandalised. His face flushed. "Another time, maybe," he added quickly.

Nolan quirked a smile and affectionately pinched Day's cheek. "Mm, that can be arranged. Pervert."

Day's face flushed. "AM NOT!"

Nolan drives him to a house. He is led into a room before Nolan removes the blindfold and earplugs. Day squints and blinks, adjusting to the sudden light. Before him is a pen of golden puppies, furry squirming and wriggling bundles of joy. Day lets out a loud gasp, unable to contain his surprise.

In the pen laid a big, tired-looking Labrador. She wags her tail languidly as if in greeting, a wry expression on her face as her pups clamber over her. Could almost hear the tired chuckle in her expression.

Day swings back to look at Nolan, incredulous, speechless.

Nolan smiles. "Happy birthday, Day."

"No way..." Day breathes. He turns back to the puppies, then back to Nolan again, and then the puppies. "No way, is this for real?" His eyes are wide, shining.

“Yeah, you can pick one out. I've already informed the landlord and as long as we clean up after it and not cause a ruckus, she'll be fine with it. I covered the details with the breeder. They're also weaned and are starting on solid food. You just need to find one that fits you...what's wrong.”

Day, eyes shiny and bright, eyebrows furrowed, full of emotion. Looks like he's about to cry. "Oh, Nolan. You've been planning this? When did you even have the time?"

"I know you've always wanted a dog but Aeriel won't let you so." He shrugs. "It's just us now."

Day beams at him, unconstrained and wonderfully bright. Like a sun emerging from a cloud. It's infectious and Nolan can't help but return the smile. He grabs Nolan and gives him a tight hug.

 "This is the best birthday present, ever. Thank you so much," he says, voice muffled against Nolan's chest. "I love you."

Nolan returns the hug, squeezing Day around the waist. “I love you too.” He kisses Day’s hair and releases him, nudging him towards the pen. “Well, don’t just stand here hugging me. Go pick out your present.”

--

"Hello babies!" Day coos. He sticks his hand in the pen and the puppies congregate around this foreign intrusion. Licking and nibbling.

Day opens the pen and the puppies rush out, yipping excitedly. Day crouches down and lets the wave of puppies crest over him. His laugh is bright and clear, like bells. Melodious. It's such a happy sound.

"Oh my gosh, look at their little paws! Their floppy ears and those big old eyes. They are all so cute, Nolan! Let’s adopt them all!."

"Oi. I said just one."

Day stuck out his tongue at Nolan, but the crinkle at the corner of his eyes showed he was teasing.

"Idiot," Nolan huffed affectionately, ruffling Day's hair.

"Hey! No calling me names on my birthday!"

Nolan watches Day play with the puppies, smiling, arms folded, his expression fond. A single pup that strayed from its pack wandered over curiously and sniffed his feet. Nolan uses his foot to gently push it away but it bounds right back, pouncing on his toes and trying to nibble them.

"That one likes you," Day says. He is cradling two puppies, one of them licking his chin incessantly and another is smushed against his cheek. Two more are scrabbling on his lap.

"Mm, that’s unnecessary," Nolan extends his leg and scoots the puppy further away from him.

“Stop kicking him!” Day protests.

“I’m not kicking it, I’m just moving it with my foot.” Nolan shoots back. The pup keeps returning to nip at his ankles and Nolan keeps trying to fend him off with his foot.

"Aw, don’t mind him,” Day says, more to the puppy than to Nolan. “He’s just a little grumpy guy, isn’t he?”

“Oi.”

“Come here," Day coos, ignoring Nolan. He extends a hand, tapping at the ground and wriggling his fingers. Distracted, the puppy waddles over to Day and nips at his fingers playfully before rolling on its back, batting at Day's hand. Day laughs. "Nolan, look! He's just like Princess!" (nolan's old cat) “You have to admit, this one’s really cute.”

Nolan stares at the puppy, blissed out on the ground with its tongue lolling out and tail wagging. “Yeah, I guess.”

Day rubs the puppy’s belly. "Are you really okay with this? I thought you didn't like dogs."

"I don't," Nolan agreed. "They're noisy, smelly and stupid."

Day covers the puppy’s ears, gasping, scandalised. "Nolan!"

Nolan smirks. “But you love them, and I love you,” he says. “Besides you’re the one who has to look after it.”

They chatchat. Suddenly one of the puppies (the same one that keeps harassing Nolan) let out a shrill howl. Nolan instantly drops down and checks on the puppy. “What? What is it? Is it ok? I swear I didn’t step on it.”

Puppy just cried for attention lmao. Nolan strokes it and lets it lick his fingers.

“And you said you didn’t care about dogs,” Day says smugly.

Nolan glances up and shoots Day a look. “Yeah, but I didn't say anything about not having a heart.” He picks up the puppy, holding it by the armpits as its paws dangle down. “This bugger’s like you. Crying for attention.”

“Rude! I don’t do that!”

--

Day brings back puppy. Puppy cries at night. Day wants to bring puppy to bed but Nolan is not allowing that ("No, Day, we are NOT letting the dog in our bed. It’s going to shit the bed."). Day sulks but goes to try and put the puppy to bed. After several long minutes, Nolan is about to doze off but notes that Day hasn't come back.

Confused and yawning, he goes out and sees that Day is lying on the floor, cheek against his arm. He's fast asleep with his hand extended to the puppy who is now snoozing with its face in his hand. "Idiot," Nolan murmurs affectionately. Day's back is definitely going to hurt tomorrow.

He goes to the bedroom and retrieves a pillow, carefully stuffing it beneath Days head and covers him with a blanket. He stares down at them, scratching his back. Well, he certainly wasn't going to join them on the floor. But he crouches down to kiss Day's hair. "See you in the morning." Day doesn't stir but makes a soft happy sound in his sleep.

everybodys gotta get back into the practice of using pseudonyms online... i remember the time of screen names where u never ever told anyone ur real name and that was just understood as basic internet safety. plus having a screen name is fun because sometimes it sticks so well that it becomes part of ur identity that u can use in whatever facet of ur life you choose. it rocks to pick your own name

#im living proof! i wasnt always called kiwi but now i am and it rocks #but mostly im just worried about all these kids wayyy oversharing personal info online #not to be like aaaggghh kids these days. but. #um people are sharing their full names and schools and deepest secrets with their FACE ATTACHED #i surely dont need to explain why thats scary #tiktok trends where u share stuff you would Never tell people irl.... WITH!!! YOUR FACE!!!!! IN FULL VIEW!! #WHHH.... WHY........... #Get Scared of Internet Strangers Again Please!

The State Department on Friday said it is pausing additional funding for the UN Palestinian refugee agency after Israel alleged 12 UNRWA employees were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack.[...]

"This was strong and corroborated intelligence," the official said. "A lot of the intelligence is a result of interrogations of militants who were arrested during the Oct. 7 attack."

"interrogations" huh. Sounds familiar. [26 Jan 24]

You should totally have Jeremy meet the gang if you haven't already!

I definitely should, so far this is the only time I’ve drawn him in the comic!

#ask reply #TBH NGL I’m kinda waiting for some news on fnaf 2 #before totally jumping into drawing Jeremy a ton #mostly cause it would be nice to know some info to work with #but also means more attention would be on Jeremy too #like in all consideration Jeremy is actually a very niche character 😭 #despite being a main protagonist we’ve only gotten maybe some info about him recently #so I really wanna draw Jeremy but I also want to do it at the right time #want people to know this guy BAHAH #Jeremy my beloved you’ll have your day in the sun

*Taking this to encompass all forms of MCYT, from modern streamed SMPs such as Dream SMP and QSMP, to popular YouTube series like Hermitcraft, to old-school series like Yogscast, Aphmau, and Stampy, and single-player series such as Mumbo Jumbo's redstone videos. For the purposes of this poll, any uploaded video format that is primarily focused on content set within the game Minecraft counts as MCYT.

When I say negatively, you can take this in any way, but I am specifically thinking of people who will look down in or be wary of people who say they are into MCYT, or have "MCYT fans DNI" or similar listed on their profile. If you are not interested in MCYT but have no negative connotations with the medium you are free to not answer.

Since I am a MCYT blog the results may appear skewed at first- I don't want to be the "reblog for bigger sample size" guy but if you have reach outwith MCYT spheres please consider it!

Wonderful News! TGCF is unlocked on JJWXC!🎉

After being locked down a few years ago, there was no word on whether or not we would ever see TGCF on its original publishing site of JJWXC. However, just today, it's been unlocked and is available for purchase again!

It also seems to be the newly revised version, as well as being uncensored (i.e. the kisses and such are still there, and have not been removed as they were for the physical release in China).

For those maybe wondering why it's so significant:

Purchasing the webnovel most directly supports MXTX, and you can tip her directly there as well.

This is the only novel of hers currently available on JJWXC -- as MDZS and SV are still locked -- thus making it the only way to do the above.

This is now the newly revised edition of TGCF, and since it's on web browser, we can more feasibly MTL it if you wish to experience the revised edition as a non-CN-speaker! The only other options until now were fan translations of certain chapters, and the audio drama. If you're curious about certain changes, you can now check it out yourself whenever!

Bonus blog post by MXTX:

She has mentioned that she's temporarily paused work on her 4th novel (and that it's changed quite a bit from the original concept she had so she privated the original synopsis for now), but assured fans that she has not stopped writing! This is one of the rare times we actually heard directly from her in recent years, so it's definitely reassuring.

#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #hob #heaven official's blessing #mxtx #official info #prayer circle of MDZS and SV also getting unlocked one day?!

Speaking of ocs, I wanted to mention it was interesting that in the noday reunion fight/talk, Day was so unlike his usual self, very paranoid and distrustful, seemed a bit withdrawn even. Goes to show how much stress he's under lol

YEAH I was kinda weirded out by that. But I think it made sense. I'm glad you picked up on the withdrawn part actually! I imagine him being a lot more subdued and he's still outwardly cheery and friendly but…anyone who knows him would see that his smile never reached his eyes and his friendliness was hollow (like a default setting). Inside he's hurting, angry, confused, guilty and deeply disillusioned because his mom had always been like a paragon of "goodness" to him. He saw her like an angel. To have that…ripped away in an instant really shook his world. I mean he even left her to go on this trip-thing. Despite her pleading for him not to leave. And he hasn't really kept in contact with her. It's all very unlike Day. Didn't help that he had no one to talk to about this so it kinda festered in him, and the more he introverted, the more those feelings of distrust and wariness grew. ..and then his ex showed up. Which was kinda like the last straw (over the first last straw)

I was thinking about the power of names. It's such a powerful acknowlegement of a person. And what they choose to identify themself as…is so..telling somehow. I was just thinking about how Day…we always call him Day. But his actual name is "Daymond" (like if you really think about it, it's so weird xD) and he does respond to it but usually in official/formal settings. But even then he doesn't fully relate to it. He prefers Day because it's more casual, it's lighter, friendlier and happier. Also cuz that's what Aeriel called him by, mostly.

Made me wonder about an AU where he doesn't choose that. Like what would've happened to him to make him feel so differently enough he never thinks about keeping that nickname? Interesting stuff. Do you have any thoughts on stuff like this? If he didn't have his mom growing up and was not allowed to explore his sensitive, social and carefree side. Like in an AU where his developmental years pushed to be more closed off, serious, distrustful and cynical..he would probably just go by Daymond.. Granted I am also thinking of like a polar opposite of his upbringing which was full of nurture so it's a little extreme. But I could see that. A Day that learns that emotions are shameful. He'd definitely rely a lot more on his Ti I think. Kinda resentful and wounded with fake smiles and platitudes..but not knowing who he is and not liking it. His relationships would he hollow because he can't really trust or be vulnerable. Ok this went beyond a name and I just came up with an AU him lol

Tomodachi Life him was more faded. He was also trans in that one which gave him depression because he didn't know how and why he was feeling the way he was and had no one he could turn to or trust… Also little socialisation and was isolated. Which apparently turns him into smth like a ghost since he spends too much time in his head.

Nolan kind of the same tho….. like his base is pretty the same…he just either gets more angry/violent vs calmer/chill…the duality of nolan is pretty simple lmfao.

Nolan's core personality is just quite steady. Even when he has growth and maturity he doesn't change that much. Less affected by external influence vs Day.

It's basically Fi vs Fe. Nolan by nature has a more defined sense of self. Even with the best nurture, Day took a long time to understand who he was separate from everyone too…only mid-20s.

Who are the hostages still held by Hamas?

On October 7, 2023, 253 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas and gazan civilians. Since then, 105 were released in a prisioner exchange deal, 4 were released by Hamas and 3 were rescued.

However, 134 remain in captivity (4 of those were kidnapped prior to 2023). A recent investigation has concluded that more than a fifth of the hostages are dead and the fate of some other hostages remains unknown. This video explains how doctors determine which hostages are dead, based on the nature of their injury and by analyising footage and the victims' last phone calls. Additionally, during the operation in Gaza, the IDF has recovered the bodies of a few victims and returned to their families for burial.

Since I couldn't find this all in one place, I've compiled a list of: 1) hostages who are presumed alive; 2) hostaged whose death has been reported/confirmed; 3) hostages who were released or rescued. In the group of hostages presumed to be alive who haven't been released, the youngest is 1-year-old Kfir Bibas and the oldest hostage is Iraqi-born 85-year old Shlomo Mansour.

As we learn more information, I'll continue to update this post.

They need to come back home. I'm hoping for more successful rescue operations soon. Keep them in your thoughts.

send the screenshots to me via either email ([email protected]) or Tumblr DM, along with the character you want a sketch of and any references you have on hand.

Standard commission/request guideline applied. I'll run streams in the next four days (and perhaps after as well) on Youtube doing these sketches live - those will be announced on this blog as they happen.

I'm not currently affiliated with the Cartoonist Cooperative or any other artists doing the same drive, but if my art's not what you're looking for, definitely give the Coop's site as well as the e-sim tag on Tumblr a look! And if you're not looking for sketch commissions from me or art commission in general at the moment, I encourage you to donate an e-sim anyway if possible.

Thank you for your work and support - I can't wait to draw your character!

#bakuspecial #gaza esims #e sims #commission info #I've been wanting to buy an e-sim myself but. my current credit card is Extremely weird #it does not register as either an ATM card or a VISA card when I do online purchases. and I need a VISA card for this from where I am #so hey! if you're looking to commission me for something like this anyway #then for this week we can put the money towards an urgent cause #I am sadly otherwise extremely low on energy nowadays. so my comm bouts are few and far inbetween #but while I have the energy I very much want to do this #I'll need to set up some admin stuff for the streams and for checking the donations. but I can do it #have a good day guys! you know where I stand on the matter as an inhabitant of a country deeply wounded by colonialism & imperialism #I'm glad to be able to add my effort. from the river to the sea!

OH BOY YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS

my shitty old car is really truly dying and rent is eating up most of my paycheck so buying another vehicle is gonna kick my ass. if you wanna grab something from my print store or buy me a coffee i'd greatly appreciate it.

things are even dire enough that i got off my ass and made some crude commission info sheets:

these prices are estimates and actual amounts are gonna vary depending on the specifics of the commission. i charge more for things outside my usual subject range since they take more research and fussing to get right, while subjects that i'm always drawing for fun (bugs, teeth) are liable to cheaper.

i do all of my sketches digitally MSPaint style and all of my rendered drawings with real ink and watercolors, usually with some digital tweaking or compositing afterwards. traditional art pieces can be mailed to you for the cost of shipping and packaging.

feel free to DM me with both what you'd like drawn and in what style--digital sketch, b&w linework, b&w heavy crosshatching, monochrome inkwash, watercolors, etc, or best of all just link me to a previous drawing of mine in the style closest to what you want. i can take money through paypal or ko-fi, payable after i complete the art and before i send you the full resolution copy.

if there's a queue i'll try to give you an estimate of how long it'll take me to get to your commission. please be patient with me; i have a full time job and a bad case of ADHD. i reserve the right to refuse or rescind a commission for any reason including and especially if the client acts pushy or gives me weird vibes.

whoops sorry that was a long post. thanks for reading.

#commission info #lets see how this goes #sorry its so expensive but i have so little free time and energy for art these days that it is extremely precious to me #but also tbh i think most artists on here massively undercharge for their art #you know who you are

The Submas Designs are a lot more clever than you thought.

First lets look at the Submas overall design.  We know that the original design was intended to make the Subway Bosses look like clowns and kind of creepy (that backfired); hence the comically large shoes and exaggerated expressions. Let’s start to break down each part of the design. 

To begin, The Submas extreme expressions are a possible reference to the symbol of theatre; the mask of Tragedy and the Mask of Comedy.  The mask of tragedy is commonly portrayed frowning ( not necessarily cry) on a black base mask while the mask of Comedy is portrayed smiling on a white base masks. Sometimes these masks are gold or split black and white color.  The masks together represent the two extremes of the human psyche. Definitely the contrast we see between Emmet's smile and Ingo’s frown.

Next up, the coats.  These are obviously designed to look like train tracks.  The vertical grey lines representing the rails, the red brown the tie (the wood connecting the rails), and the buttons are the spikes that secure the track.  You can see the pattern best on the back of the Submas coat.  Looking at it you could laugh and say “I guess that makes the Subway boss themselves the train”, and you know what? You’re right.

This brings us to the most interesting part of their design, the color and pose.  Yes, there is an explanation to the silly pose too.  It’s so silly that we can just brush this whole design off as being another funny Pokemon character design; but unfortunately it’s actually thought out.  

The Submas themselves are the New York Subway. Or at least they are the personified version of it.  Let’s look at the colors again.  Black and White.  Very fitting for a game literally called Pokemon Black and White.  That alone brings us to some interesting comparisons with the game themes and pokemon.

Kudari or (Emmet in the English version) wears all white. He values routine and rules and is ultimately pretty point blank.  We can easily make that conclusion that  Emmet represents Reshiram and truth. If we break down his name we see that in Japanese it means something along the lines of “down train” or moving away/going down hill.  The different translations usually mean the same, except the name “Emmet” is a bit out of place.  A lot of people say the Submas names in English are most likely to be puns of “Ingoing and Emitting”.  But my crazy self did more digging and found that Emmet means “truth” specifically universal truth.  This name goes back to old German, Irish, and even Hebrew. All looping back to Reshiram and themes of the game. (On a funny side note, Emmet is also the Cornish word for ant; so Emmet having a Durant is really funny. ) 

Next up is Nobori or Ingo who wears a black coat and appears frowning. Despite that , his is very encouraging and excited about moving forward. This makes sense since the name Nobori in Japanese more or less means to move up/forward ( specifically up a mountain).  That’s why a lot of people believe that the poor man was eebie deebied for the pun because Warden Ingo works on Mt. Coronet. In English, Ingo is thought to be a shortened version of “Ingoing” which also aligns with not only the Japanese name but the character’s reoccurring theme of progress, moving forward, and ideals. In this sense Ingo very much represents Zekrom and ideals. 

Truth and ideals, Reshiram and Zekrom, Tragedy and comedy, white and Black.  All very good interpretations and symbolism for two funny train men. I would be satisfied with just knowing that, but no; the Submas are also a funny gijinka of the New York Subway.  This is the part the has me laughing at how simple it is and yet we just easily accepted that they were just a bit strange.

Take a look at this. This is a Zebra Board.  

Yep, it’s black and white. And do you know what? This MTA sign only appears in the New York subway.  What does it do?  These are used by conductors to indicate safety and that the train has lined up in the station. Every time the subway comes into the station, the conductor has to physically point at this board/bar to indicate that it is safe for the doors to open. The action is called "point and call" or "point and acknowledge".  This practice is used in a few other train/subway stations (such as Japan), but the black and white board is New York specific. The pose of the submas suddenly makes a lot of sense.

Other Important notes observations.

The Submas face represents the front of the train.  So their eyes are the lights (hence Ingos glowing eyes in PLA), their side burns are cow catchers ( see graphic), and the Medalion on the hat is round like a train number plate.  Another interesting thing is that the Submas use airline Captain Pilot hats like Japanese train conductors use.  The only part of their outfit that confuses me is the arm bands.  This is more of a police uniform element and not a train conductor thing.

so to conclude, the Submas are basically a reference to in game themes, Reshiram/Zekrom, Trains, and literally the New York subway

I am not an expert. These are just my observations. I could be completely wrong.  Take and add what you would like to.  If you have more to add about the design, feel free to reblog that info. I would also like to see your interpretation.
