#feel free to hit me back!!

[mipexch]

comic about v2 and the goal they'll never fully reach alongside a dissatisfying conclusion. intimate rivalry and all (alternative ending comic. V1 dies instead of V2 during 4-4. V2 is narrating. V1 is dead.)

#high of victory drops to an overwhelming crushing feeling of what comes next now that youre done #if it wasnt clear v2 is trying very hard to put v1 back together after it kills them. very very poorly. weight of your actions hits #v2 #v1 #ultrakill #v4v #heavy implied at the very least. see as you will #i realize now that the writing is very disconnected and so are the drawings but bear with me here. do you see my vision #theres something going on between these two that is beautiful but also extremely codependent #at least on v2s end #tried to do those two descriptive pages in a way where it went like. 2 - 3 small details about v1. and then something very specific. some- #-thing theyd only know if they paid close attention to how the other acted or looked #took me a few days to put together and im pretty happy with it i think #feel free to dub or do whatever as long as you gimme credit where credits due #there are many ways to interpret v2 and this is one of them #gen art

(text from this post, fic is little kid with a big death wish by @remedyturtles)

your writing has touched so so many people myself very much included, and i just. want to thank you so much for writing this fic and thank you for sharing it. you're an amazing writer and an amazing person and i'm lucky to know you. i can't wait to see what you do next

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #tmnt #little kid with a big death wish #my art #forgor all my tags its ok ill come back later <3 anyway #god theres legit so so so much more i wanted to say but i cant get. the words right augh #i kinda tried to put some of it in the comic though so. yeah. the emotions anyway #idk idk i just have a Lot of feelings abt this fic and how real it feels and just . man. it hits so so hard /pos #just... the fact that dw leo has been through everything he has and is capable of recovery and living. even if he doesnt want to live just #yet. hes getting there. makes me feel like i can too as cheesy as that sounds lajfd;lajlfkl #anyway ive rambled enough i spent ten (10) full days on this comic i am setting it loose into the world. be free #suicide attempt cw #dissociation cw #<- just to be safe. ask to tag if theres anything else lafj;dljsafkl

i know that atsv and spiderverse in general is probably not including Gabe for various reasons and therefore when Mig took his alt selfs place he wasnt actually leaving anyone behind. he said something along the lines of “i found a universe where i was happy” which kinda screams that something was fucked up with his home one, i’d like to think more than usual because the other explanation is that he just left like all his family behind. Which is extremely messed up but also on the other hand a little funny

like imagine being gabe here. Imagine your older brother fucks off to another universe because of his depression and comes back with even worse depression ranting some shit about canon events. You have to be told where he went by his AI because god knows your brother has all the communication skills of a rusty spoon. Have to be told he fucking left with no intention of coming back

#spiderman #sm2099 #miguel o'hara #gabriel o’ hara #miguel #like i never expect gabe to be in anything honestly hes my little guy but sm2099 adaptations hate him sometimes #not even going to start talking about the other sm2099 supporting characters but #the idea of gabe just. having his brother fuck off but then also come back with more issues. drives me insane #and you fuckin KNOW this guy would barely communicate a thing gabe would have to bully half of it out of mig and get the other half from lyl #but also. since i mentioned supporting cast. if kasey and hobie ever met its fuckin over for everyone #sm2099 brainworms hitting me so bad since atsv #in atsv they would be even more dysfunctional than their worst comic moments #atsv #silly little textposts #please feel free to ignore this im just obsessed with messed up sibling relationships #Mig comes back to “welcome home cheater” on every wall of his apartment #atsv spoilers #<- SORRY I FORGOR

Man, I still remember participating in one of the many jjba zines that I took part in and how my piece was placed as the first page (for the second time) and how one of my mutuals/artists that I’ve always admired, hit me with the “oh… you’re on the front page again… 😅…” like man, that kind of killed me lmfao. I never got over it like man, what was that about.

#it’s not like i put the books together myself or anything all my ass did was submit my work #like this was from a really popular and well known artist as well like #their art has always been so gorgeous to me too I was like ‘I’m literally a nobody is this person really being shady or…’ #rambling #I guess it’s nice being in a zine with ppl I don’t know or care to get to know at least now 😭… just submitting my art and running #referring to the jjk zine 😭 I need t start working on it uhh #zines make me feel so anxious man #it really did make me feel bad and almost guilty? I was like this is kind of awkward… #another zine I was in which was run by a mutual… well… I never even got my zine in the mail #and I even sent them $20 for some merch that they were making since I wanted to support and never got that either… #they deleted their blog but I see that they remade and draw a lot of DM and have a lot of popular posts here so it’s kind of awkward seeing #their art shared on the dash sometimes skeks #we’re still mutuals on Twitter but I don’t rly want to ask about my zine again or the $20 bucks #it’s okay like I owe other ppl stuff too I’m a late bird man but still loskekk #they were the mod for the zine too #I might hit them up again I guess I still love their art and they were always fun to talk to #there was another zine that I participated in where we had to purchase our own copy bro #i remember being so annoyed by that but went ahead and bought it anyway #I was invited to this zine so it made me even more annoyed #I #Guess it didn’t make its money back #or something like that but I remember being broke at the time and was pissed that I had to pay for my own book #I didn’t buy any of the merch because why when it was supposed to be free #if you’re participating in a zine the book and merch should be free

#19 for the ask game!!

how do they silently express love because they are so cute I cannot do this I am GOING TO COMBUST

19. How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?

adam flies like 5 cities over to buy new teas for steven every month so he feels very cozy :D steven thinks hes just getting them at the store lol (yes adam has sleeves this time! its october rn in my mind for them!! u know how fionna's world existed in simon's head? theyre in MY head)

i strongly hc adam has night time anxiety and needs nice smoothing stimulation to go to sleep (not projecting, why would i need asmr to sleep? oh btw i added my asmr recs playlist in my pinned post :3) anyway, steven whispers his lecture notes for the next day and combs adams hair and down his back and arms like a massage but its mostly just combing motions. i think adam would have an eye mask but i wanted to draw his eepy lil face :3

#my-art #djsadbean answers #art #steven boxleitner #amazo guy #amazing cheese #ask meme #ask game #yes im still doing these!! #i have so many left in my inbox LOL thank u for waiting literally one entire month for these #ive been busy with the shop update!! and life things that kinda hit me hard (im alright tho no worries) #ill post more stuff about the shop update soon!! i have like 20 stickers (all mostly worg themed) and theyre VERY cute!!! #members of my kofi get to see previews!

me waiting for my writer’s block to fuck off and leave me alone so i can finish this chapter:

#my creativity is just so dead rn and it makes me want to crawl out of my own skin #i’ve been waiting MONTHS to finally have a little bit of free time to breathe and catch up on writing stuff #and naturally now that i have i am so mentally and emotionally drained i can barely string a sentence together #i feel so distant and detached from my characters #and yes i know it’ll pass #but i just feel so caught in this headspace rn and needed to vent #i’m SO close to finishing this chapter for good but i have well and truly fallen at the final hurdle #the perfectionism has got me #ugh #also if anyone reading this is worried about four walls being updated #please don’t #i literally circle through this headspace every single chapter #and it hasn’t stopped me yet #(and it never will either. i couldn’t give up on this fic if i tried) #but it’s just hitting me particularly hard this last week #why is writing such an agonising process sometimes #anyway #enough rambling from me for one night #i’ll drag myself back to my laptop and see if i can work some magic #wish me luck #writing stuff #lulu posts

Every Tumblr user ever: I hate tiktok so much I wouldn't get near it with a ten meters pole

Tumblr every three days: Here's a brand new way we tiktokified your perfectly fine Tumblr this week

#Rant incoming feel free to ignore this #:( #Read the new @/changes update and I want to throw up. #What's going on seriously they were handling this website so well up to like a month ago. #What do you mean people who create an account after May 8th won't get a dashboard as default... Are you insane. #Did you hit your head or something #What is going on???????? #“Some folks will start getting access to certain badges based on different actions/accomplishments” with all due respect. Kill me right now #What is this???????????????? This is even worse than all the recent stretching and highlighting on mutuals / followers. #I don't follow anyone leave me ALONE #Like seriously someone really needs to remember Staff that the best part of Tumblr is the low competitiveness– #that literally every other social lacks. They used to know back in the day??? #And now it's all “Here's who follows you (((and by evident extension who doesn't)))”. Have you considered I DON'T WANT TO KNOW #Next update they'll hit you with a “follower count / likes / following is all public now btw 😊” #and that's going to be the day I'll disappear from the entire internet once and for all #Tbh I think I'm going to write some very polite but strong worded submission to staff or something. #I know chances are they won't even read it but things are so bad I don't want to leave anything untried #random rambles

okay so i’m doing another old blog deep dive and came across this boss leader fanart by a deleted user. ‘haha bug spirit’ my brain goes in a burst of inspiration. ‘haha like the one in ch4’ ‘haha maybe thats boss leaders dream spirit’ ‘haha except it cant be because BL IS the dream spirit herself’ ‘haha but wait if she’s a spirit then she’d probably need SOME kind of physical form right. like she can have the power to control dreams but wouldnt she still need a body’ ‘wait’

boss leader has shown she’s able to drastically change her physical form in the dreamscape- to the point of being able to pose as different renditions of herself for decades. given this ability to control her appearance, and most essentially her masquerade as a spectral, i’m led to believe that the form we see is more of a mental projection, and that she has a corporeal form out in the physical world DIFFERENT to the one we’re introduced to her with. which is where i’d like to propose:

THE ZIPPER BUG SPIRIT WE SAW IN CHAPTER 4 WASNT SOME RANDOM MYSTERY SPIRIT. THAT WAS BOSS LEADER

The part about the Ch4 subterranean bug spirit’s design that always got me was how much it resembled the Consortium’s suitsies. At first I thought maybe it was a spirit working FOR the Consortium, wearing a suitsie, but that ultimately seemed silly. But what if that wasn’t a complete coincidence? What if that was the one part of Boss Leader’s body that she liked and decided to keep? Look:

What a fascinating design similarity! Huh weird where do I remember her making a bug joke before OH WAIT THATS RIGHT

And isn’t it just fascinating how that spirit saves Max! Almost as if it knew there was going to be a specific group of people on that train tonight! Almost as if it knew said train was going to be there picking up a Consortium agent! A Consortium agent sent under the orders of Boss Leader herself! Well thats cool but I’m sure its just another coincide-

INTERESTING.

i have more on this but i needed to vomit this out before i lost my train (aha) of thought . i think im onto something here. please share thoughts

#EDIT i wrote this at like 5am so i went back and fixed a bunch of typos. sentences should flow better now #paranatural #i know the exact counter argument youre about to hit me with and thats gonna be my next post tomorrow because the answer i have makes me so #unbelievably excited about something #but feel free to counter argue anyway i love hearing what ppl r cooking up

Damn. I'm free

#I know i stated a lot before that im not involved with fandoms anymore but like. it just hit me randomly. Im Free #I still absolutely have interests. This is very obvious.

Very anxiety inducing year for me because i kept worrying about other people #and what they thought of me and my art #Also those fandoms were just really annoying lol. Toontown more than annoying i cant say anything about it here iuhhh there was #an insane amount of insane things happening with that community its.still happening actualky LOL. I hear about stuff from my friends #But anyways. I just feel so disconnected from everything in a good way if that makes sense #i already got friends and im finally feeling like this blog is mine yaaay #Who gaf about fandoms #Be free..... #This might be because all i care about is my ocs now (& its late and i have a huge burst of energy right now for some reason) #Yes i am very afraid that the focus on them will end but i really dont know what else there is for me to become attached to anymore #Splatoon is my life babeyyy at least it has been for almost 6 years #ill always come back to splatoon❤️ #Touhou and woy are the 2nd and 3rd most thought about interests for me #I dont post about them often as in like. make my own art that much.

MINE!!! BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!’ WHDVSJ #the big slug I keep thinkin about. he’s basically a bus for many of the other slugs in the sanctuary. they just get on his back and he- #-scoots them around. he’s very sweet!! and very into older handsome humans WHDHSHEJS #anyway if any of y’all make cerebroslug OCs pls feel free to tag me on my main I love these lil guys so much #skipperskip

infinite wealth if sawashiro said "who gives a shit about ebina im going to hawaii with ichi" and then the rest of the game is a family vacation

#Ok so here's my dream scenario. It starts w kicking kiryu out of the narrative bc girl. I love the guy but he does not need to be here!! #kicking him out of the narrative also banishes the ebina stuff. I'm still keeping him around but #he'll be basically built up to be the main antagonist of 9. We're ONLY focusing on the cult stuff for 8 #the way 8 closes him off is already sequel bait so give him a proper focus game w 9 #Anyways now that that's out of the way. My worstie sawashiro does indeed become a party member. #His moveset is mostly blade damage w some blunt damage mixed in. YES I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT GAME MECHANICS #His singular elemental move is him flicking a cigarette at the enemy. Yes this is based off of that one scene w ichi in 7 #ANYWAYS I HAVE MANY IDEAS I CANT TYPE THEM ALL OUT RN BUT. FAMILY VACATION ARC. PLEASE #ITS INSANE TO ME HOW KASUGA 'I LOVE MY FAMILY' ICHIBAN WAS NOT ALLOWED TO PROPERLY INTERACT W HIS FAMILY??? #AND THE MAJORITY OF SAWASHIROS CONFLICT INCLUDED CAST MEMBERS WHO DIDNT GIVE A SINGLE SHIT ABOUT HIM???? #I keep thinking back on that scene where ebina shows him passed out on that chair and THE INTENDED AUDIENCE FOR #THAT SCENE WAS AN OCEAN AWAY LIKE GIRL. WHAT WAS THE POINT??? #well another perspective of that scene would be that sawashiro would be glad that ichi wasn't the one that came to rescue. which is. Misery #me when characters are defined by their guilt 💥💥💥💥😵💥💥💥😵‍💫💥💥💥😱💥💥💥💥😫💥💥💥 #Well. If y'all read all these tags. thanks. If anyone is curious about this self indulgent au that I've created feel free to hit me up #(Please hit me up I'm desperate to talk abt the arakawa family misery and I deeply wish this game was even more miserable) #rgg #nile talks

#feel free to reblog the meme if u like lmao #just leave the tags out #vent.txt #<- sorry just need to have a moment lmao #inflicted w the yearnings for romantic relationship yet again 😞 but so keenly aware of how much I’d have to unpack in myself to truly be a #part of it #like. I don’t trust people. I don’t confide in people. I tell them nothing about myself for years and years and I used to resent a little #that that was enough for them. that they didn’t NEED to know. that me loving and caring for them was enough. but it’s so silly because like #how can you resent people for not knowing what you won’t tell them. so thankfully THAT has passed #but it’s just like. there are so many issues. like I just CANNOT conceptualise myself as romantically attracted #attractive* #not even in a self deprecating sense it just feels like an immutable fact. I can’t imagine someone looking at me w romantic desire. #and it’s like. I honestly don’t know if I could let my walls down enough to actively love someone back like that #it’s so easy to love from afar. and hell haha maybe THATS because it’ll always be easier to love someone when they can’t know all of you to #love in return #but I just don’t know how I can do it. I don’t know how to view the risk as being worth it #and at the end of the day I’ll be okay if romantic love isn’t in the cards for me. you can live a happy life without #but ah fuck. sometimes the but I am so lonely.jpg hits

Mitsunoko :3c

@saltyfilmmajor NANCY HI I KNOW IT'S YOU

so I've waited until I'm stuck on a bus for about an hour to answer this on my phone bc otherwise it's going to turn into a 10 page propaganda manifesto with screenshots and I do not actually have the spoons for that.

they make me UNWELL.

Ship It

1. What made you ship it?

my beloved friend @twotwinks was playing through Ace Attorney Investigations and liveblogging it at me. and at one point jhe sent me a screenshot where Itonokogiri swears to follow Mitsurugi through thick and thin. and then was promptly dragged away from him kicking and screaming.

famous last words

jhe then started microdosing me with content about these two in the games, and after I told my treasured friend @maverickcalf about it they also started putting posts about them on my dash. and it took about three weeks before I caved and read through the entire ao3 tag of the ship in one night and. the rest is history, as they might say.

ive always had a passing interest in Gyakuten Saiban but just never got around to getting into it properly. I'd bought and played through a bit of GS6 when it first came out but didn't get very far bc of my limited Japanese then. when MT got really into it I thought it was the perfect chance for me to familiarize myself with the franchise (nothing better than a friend that infodumps) but I. never expected to fall into the franchise as hard as I did, especially not in This Specific Way. this will now be my entire personality for the next three years.

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

god where do I START.

I think what really does strike me is in the first game, how much they clearly trust each other. Itonokogiri is Loud about it so we know clearly where he stands, but while Mitsurugi doesn't say it out loud there are so many scenes where his actions dictate he does trust Itonokogiri. small instances that makes you go HUH. like the fact that he feels bad about keeping things from Itonokogiri in Turnabout Goodbyes!! and the fact that Naruhodou suspected it would hurt him and WEAPONIZED that against him. like. GOD. WHAT THE FUCK. HOW IS THAT CANON.

another thing I love so much about them is that despite fitting the stereotypical roles of a smart character + a not so bright character, Mitsurugi is never condescending to Itonokogiri. it delighted me so much in Gyakuten Kenji 1 where Itonokogiri would have a question about something, and Mitsurugi would just explain it very plainly and straightforwardly to him, without judgement. it means so much to me!!! he never calls him dumb or stupid to his face!! even in his thoughts the most he does is phrase it tactfully in a way that doesn't outright insult Itonokogiri whenever he does something unexpected. I just. oughhh I love them so much.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

oh boy do I.

having only played the games in Japanese and only learned about the changes made in the English version through my friends, I strongly believe the English localization of the franchise is at best a pale comparison to the original and at worst a purposeful character assassination of many of the characters, ESPECIALLY Itonokogiri. to me, Ace Attorney is a completely different franchise from Gyakuten Saiban and the characters in the localization are not and will never be the same characters as the ones in the original. I respect the people in the fandom that love version of the ship and the characters in the localization but I need people to understand. they have a very different vibe from the original version of them. because Itonokogiri, a Japanese man, not understanding what a ceiling fan (katakana) is, and Gumshoe, an American, not understanding what a ceiling fan (English) is, have very different implications, and Mitsurugi's and Edgeworth's reactions differ greatly based on that.

I can never engage with the English-speaking fandom at large bc of that and it saddens me, but at this point I care about Mitsurugi and Itonokogiri's characterization in the original Japanese versions of the games Too Much to compromise on it.

oh and even among jp fans I am camp mitsunoko instead of nokomitsu (it's less about the top and bottom thing and more about the vibes and dynamics bc on GOD Itonokogiri would NEVER be the one to make the first move are you KIDDING ME) and that pigeonholes me into an even MORE niche corner LMAO.

anyway I think that still turned out longer than I meant for it to be sgskhsjs but godddd they plague my every waking thought. ITONOKOGIRI CHECKS UP ON MITSURUGI AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE. MITSURUGI ONLY TOLD ITONOKOGIRI ABOUT HIS TRIP ABROAD AND NO ONE ELSE. THEY CAN'T COMMUNICATE FOR SHIT AND NEVER TALK ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THEY KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL. WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS.

#gyakuten saiban #gyakuten kenji #mitsurugi reiji #itonokogiri keisuke #mitsunoko #gumworth #<- adding this tag just to show that I Am Here and i will be retreating back into my mitsunoko corner now #if you're interested in my ramblings about them feel free to hit me up but please understand #this is not an english localization friendly blog #roch answers #roch metas #(kinda)

[writingrailroad]

that comic you reblogged made me feel things! would you recommend gregor the overlander?

YES YES YES OH MY GOD YES

gregor the overlander is the first book in the underland chronicles, a 5-book middle grade series by suzanne collins. and it is my FAVORITE book series ever. i didn't read it until i was like 20 and i was still blown away.

the story follows gregor, an 11-year-old boy who falls into a world called the underland, where humans live alongside giant talking bats, rats, spiders, all the creepy-crawly creatures. the humans have been at war with the rats for hundreds of years, and there are a bunch of prophecies about a warrior who's meant to save them. gregor is that warrior.

overall, the series is equal parts funny and deeply sad, and the relationships between the characters (like the one featured in the comic) are well-developed and one of my favorite parts of the series. it explores themes of war, family, responsibility, fate, and identity, and it doesn't shy away from showing how a kid experiencing all this violence is going to affect them.

the first book is a nice introduction to the world and characters, but the real meat of the story and the overarching plot begin in book 2. also, if you liked the hunger games, this is the same author!

#ask n answer #gregor the overlander #the underland chronicles #book recommendations #readingrailroad #i am BEGGING ppl to give me an excuse to talk about gregor the overlander #practically frothing at the mouth #anon if u read the books feel free to come back into my inbox and tell me what u think #i am always trying to recruit ppl into my interests #and if anybody else has read or is reading or will read this series hit me up!!!

Do you know know how jarring it was to hear a Ghost song and have it be like pop rock? Like bro with all the satanic imagery and shit I was expecting something heavier.

#mary on a cross might just be an outlier the way someone who's only heard friday i'm in love might be like “the cure is a goth band?” #but like i was expecting like black metal #i mean i know there were a lot of memes about ghost just being pop but i assumed that was just metalheads being elitist pricks #ok so again i've only heard one ghost song so maybe i'm way off base but if they're all like this i feel like the best comparison is kiss #like kiss TERRIFIED evangelical parents back in the day but then you hear their music and it's like oh ok i thought it would be heavier #detroit rock city fucks though #i feel like i'm going to offend someone with this post but like i could be way off feel free to educate me #like i said i've only heard one ghost song maybe that was their crossover pop hit and they're actually super heavy #idk i don't care
