#i learned a new term

[fashion4standusers]

Anyway, if I had a nickel for every time a series had six installments that gradually escalated in ridiculousness, only for the sixth installment to end with a universe reboot and the seventh installment to pick up in a new universe where alternate versions of the original characters now exist in the distant past, I'd have two nickels.

One of those series is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The other is Riverdale

#some caveats #the gradual escalation of jojo is subjective #jojo kept going after part 7 #jojo also started in the distant past so its not as ridiculous of a jump #also i should say *a* new universe not *the* new universe bc sbrverse and ireneverse are different #idk if alternate versions is the right term for the riverdale kiddos but according to friendly space ninja its close enough #no hate to riverdale btw. i watched the first season and then learned about the rest of it via destiel news network and whatnot #i hope yall had fun with whatever happened in that show #riverdale #shitpost #not fashion #ffsu.txt #stone ocean spoilers #riverdale spoilers #? #tonight were gonna find out how much overlap exists between those two fandoms #araki please end jojo with the main characters watching jojo on tv like riverdale did im begging

It's now been two years since I began drawing BSD fanart, and I recently went back and discovered that the very first sketch I ever did was of Chuuya! So I thought it would be fun to go through and line up a bunch of my attempts at drawing him — progress over time, and all that :0

#I still have a lot to learn in terms of — well everything honestly #Still!! Progress! #...parts of this could also be seen as 'senhart tries to learn how to draw hats for two years straight' aksfjksjfksd #my art #bsd chuuya #that first Chuuya I sketched is kind of cursed ngl #what was I doing with the eyebrows?? but for the sake of completion I'm keeping it there #anyway! all that aside I really appreciate all of you guys for bearing with me as I learn new stuff and figure out what my art style is #y'all are awesome!

I’ll never forget how once my ex joked I “live under a rock” and when I asked how he showed me a Snapchat reel of “hot celebrity gossip,” after which he pointed out I don’t keep up with any of it. I really dated that that’s so embarrassing

#If anything I’m trying to get AWAY from that #I don’t dislike keeping up w pop culture but at this point id rather be reading a book watching documentaries learning something new #Idc if it sounds pretentious bc it’s true #I don’t like using the term “low vibrational” bc i don’t have to be spiritual not to consume what’s essentially brain trash #Do I judge people for being too invested NO you do you. But beyond very popular pop culture headline I really would rather be out of the #Loop #id just rather be consuming healthy brain food #And it amazes me how he full chest thought that keeping up w vain stuff like that is him being in the loop. Never again <3

Tbh one of the reasons I haven't gotten around to Palmarosa yet is because I knew I had to do a fuckton more worldbuilding research and couldn't be bothered because I was like 'this is going to be a lot more work than it needs to be.'

And after 4 straight hours and over 50 tabs which distilled down into 2000 words of worldbuilding that isn't even me getting to the chapter yet, I was right lmao. But in good news, it means I can officially get started! We're going to Luskan, folks :D

#palmarosa #thespectaclesofthor #i've got a bunch of new characters whose names we'll probably never learn #even though they have names #and i've researched more into espruar than i ever cared to #and then had to invent some new terms #anyway i tried to keep the worldbuilding as short as possible #i could write *two chapters* in four hours with the right motivation #so sometimes i get a little annoyed at how long worldbuilding takes #when most of it never ends up in the story lmao #sdalkjfsdlakfjas #i also found a line of scandinavian perfumes i kind of want to try #only to find out they don't ship to australia so

step-brother riddle with a camgirl step-sister……. (and also the two of you hate each other! :) this is a crucial detail.)

you often stream when your parents and riddle are out of the house. sometimes riddle’s gone off to the library to study or he’s meeting up with trey and che’nya while your parents go out to a social gathering. the times in which you have the house to yourself are few and far between, as mama rosehearts hardly lets you do anything unless you give her specific details of where you intend to go and how long you’ll be there and what you’ll be doing. so when you are afforded alone time, you dedicate it to hours-long streams.

for the time being, you’ve made a decent amount of money posting lewd photos to your account, but it’s the streams that bring in the most money. your viewers are from all over. from the guy (floyd) who pays absurd amounts of donations and says the most vulgar things in your chat, starting fights when anyone says something he disagrees with, to the guy who types in all lowercase and gamer lingo (idia), you have your fair share of regulars, all of whom tune in for your rare streams.

no one’s found out about your secret side hobby yet. no one…except riddle. he comes home early from his outing with trey and che’nya, always determined to be back before his mother returns home so that it can appear as if he merely went to the library, studied, and returned home in time for dinner. and normally you’re able to plan around riddle’s annoyingly perfect schedules. this time, however, you fail to remember he mentioned he’d be going out with friends rather than studying; and somehow you fail to hear the door opening and closing downstairs while you’re up in your room, riding a monster dildo (a gift from a very generous viewer) in front of your webcam.

you and riddle have never gotten along. even when your parents married, the two of you tried (and failed) to tolerate one another and it didn’t work. so now you avoid each other when you can, opting to be cordial for courtesy’s sake if you happen to cross paths at home. so when riddle goes up to your room to deliver some macarons trey insisted he take home for you (trey’s too nice, riddle thinks; if it were up to him you wouldn’t get any sweets. >:p), he expects you to be reading a magazine or painting your nails or talking on the phone…whatever girls like you do, he doesn’t know! what he doesn’t expect is to walk in on you cumming around a big, thick dildo while you’re dressed in such inappropriate attire!! and what’s worse is that you’re broadcasting it to strangers online! have you no shame?!

that day riddle learns his step-sister has a very…unique hobby. it’s also the day he starts looking at you from a new angle. :) and it’s also the day his nrc peers who watch you learn riddle has a cute step-sister. >:)

#meraki mumbles #n/sfw #tw: stepcest #floyd learns you’re riddle’s sibling and woooo rip riddle #floyd is going to have so much fun with this new material #he teases riddle to hell and back #it’s his goal to get a video of him fucking you so that he can send it to riddle and be like ‘your lil sis is super tight <3’ #all so riddle is stuck with the mental image of you struggling to take a dick AAAAAAAAAA #floyd calls you a little sister but you’re only younger by a few months T-T #‘she’s my sister i only see her as that you gross pervert!!!’ riddle says every time floyd calls him a siscon #riddle is in denial and floyd is here to witness the chaos T-T #alternatively it’s even worse if it’s jade #jade and riddle are on friendly terms #riddle doesn’t trust him but he knows he’s reliable #so when jade leans over in alchemy class and whispers ‘does your sister prefer lace or satin lingerie?’ #riddle’s eyes go so wide and he chokes on the air and T-T jade stop teasing him… :(

Koyuki Higashi and Hiroko Masahara's story of their decision to have a baby together, as a lesbian married couple. They previously chronicled their romance and wedding in Lesbian-teki Kekkon Seikatsu.

happy femslash february, here’s a one volume autobiography from 2016. it goes very in-depth with the emotional and logistical considerations of trying to have children as a same-gender couple in japan

some folks might be familiar with them already—this is actually the couple who contacted tokyo disney resort in 2012 about having a wedding ceremony and were told that one of them would have to wear a suit; after public backlash, the couple was able to have their ceremony while both wearing wedding gowns. they were also the first couple to apply for and receive a partnership certificate for same-gender couples from shibuya. so, pretty public figures when it comes to gay rights in japan. they’re very intentional about the information they’re delivering to The General Public

it’s good context for how couples in japan navigate these issues, and it’s interesting how they talk to other same gender parents from the usa. I think it’s a valuable read for anyone who wants more information about mundane experiences and daily life for lgbtq folks in japan.

anyway, if you want to support marriage equality & gay rights in japan, marriage for all is a good organization to follow and support

#femslash feb recs #recs #ff recs #a little awkward to mention in the post but they have since split up on amicable terms #I think one of them has done another autobio manga since with her new partner but it hasn’t been translated #happy femslash february learn about gay rights in japan

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified

#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing #i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though #at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself #as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed #escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date #although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL #ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting #workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety #i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back #AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO #im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts #i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem #in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material #and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school #maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess #only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard #hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms #i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work #not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall #anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh #yapping

[swordheld]

how do you think in poems? i really enjoy the tags under your posts i've always wanted to write down my own thoughts that way bc in my head they feel so thorough and magical but whenever i put it in words i feel it just gets so much flatter and i no longer see a point and give up

oh oh oh, but lovely, can't you see that you've already started? it's a perspective that you hone, over time, something that is specific to you and you alone – that's the piece of it that makes it so special! you've already begun, and it only goes forward, up, sideways from here, wherever you wish to go!

think of it like a skill, for a moment, or a kind of muscle, if you'd prefer. you have to work at it, with it, over time and differing experiences, in order to progress.

(a quick important note: not progression as in the kind of quality-check of a grading scale, but progression as in evolution. shifting change. think of the leaves and their colors across the months of autumn, or temperatures rising with the sun and cooling with the evening dark. change isn't intrinsically a qualifying thing, it can just be, sometimes. this is difficult to remember, especially in the midst of frustration, but it is worth it. you are always doing better than you think you are – harshest critic, and all that.)

which is not to say that it's a simple thing to do! compare this to the vibe of me picking up crochet recently, with my shaking hands and too-quickly dwindling adhd focus – my first attempts at making a lil headphone sprout have not been going as well as i once hoped. my stitches are either too big and sloppy bc i'm not holding the yarn tightly enough to get clean ones, or i feel frustrated due to it not looking like how i'd like it to look in my mind when i started it, or even as i begin my umpteenth attempt.

but!! i know that it won't ever look the way i want it do if i set it down and never keep trying. it'll take awhile, like everything does, even the seasons take their time, the moon and its phases; but what i do know, is that, eventually, it'll resemble something i want it to. vaguely, maybe, but it is something. it doesn't have to look exactly like the guide i'm following, or the examples i'm inspired by, because it's mine – something made by my own hands, my own time and experience with every mistake and thrilling joy along the way to learn by.

take it from me: i want to be good at things i want to be good at so badly. and that excitement makes me want to be at the skill level i need to be at in order to do so right then and there, no learning curves or building blocks allowed. which is never how it happens, unfortunately, but –

i think, gently, that we tend to overlook what a pleasure it is to learn. to see the slow progression of things, to begin and change and continue and get better. and even if it's different as we go along, in a way it's our own little kind of magic, maybe, to create and never be done if we don't want to be.

which is all to say: it's already yours. why does it have to be anything else, anything more? why can't it just be good as it is now, where it might never be again? what is there to lose by enjoying the moment of where you are?

like everything, it will grow and shift and evolve with time, maybe into something you'd hoped for, or maybe into something you don't even have the words to describe right now at all. but that's the fun of it: how even now, even then, there, across time and distance and skill, there is a common thread of things; it will always come from your heart, your experience, where you are right then and there and now.

and if you think of that like magic, well, it becomes a little like magic, doesn't it?

also, something to consider: sometimes things you feel or think can't be put into words at that moment, or even at all! something else you could try (that i certainly do) is making something else with whatever it makes you feel - whether that's another form of art, or any other kind of media. if it makes you want to go outside and take a walk or get cozy and read or play a video game? that counts too! that's still an experience, you're still feeling.

i think that counts a little more than anything else, you know?

and as a little ending fun side-note, can i share something cool? i've never thought of it that way before, as thinking in poems. in my mind it's always been a kind of perspective of personal wonder, but you're right – it's poetry, in it's own way. you gave me that – so thank you, from the heart of me. i hope your journey finds you with every bright joy.

#rainsdowninkerala #q&a. #this is truly so much longer than i had originally thought it would be so i do hope it's less rambly and more help-y? #the art of creation goes hand in hand with the exploration and discovery of feeling and it is sooooo important n fascinating to me. #truly tho this can all be boiled down into a kind of: keep going? keep going. you can only get better. #i didn't want the post itself to get even longer & winded BUT if you want a lil fun vibe? watch meet the robinsons. it's a lil silly; but - #truly nothing changed my creative experiences more than hearing ' keep moving forward ' paired with joy at the result of failure. #how it is that you never learn if you don't fail; you have to keep trying; keep going at it; and if we only ever succeeded – #there would never be that? that checkpoint of progression? it changed that frustrating moment into a kind of art; for me. #how each time i fail and feel that sadness or anger it reframes it into oh. i'm learning. i'm doing something new and i'm learning. #isn't that amazing? spectacular? that i can do this? that it's me / you / us together? #i think ab that a lot in terms of inspiring my mindset. i hope it helps you too. wishing u all my best !!!! <3

I am sitting down on the number block carpet I want to hear about him

Bob is an eldritch monster (I've just been calling their species Worldeaters, I don't have any plans to change the name) that eats planets and rocks in general (Stars too but that's a rare snack).

He was laid on Earth sometime during the end of Precambrian Era. And hatched a year BEFORE the Cambrian Era officially started. His parents kind of just left him there (due to their species they can't exactly stay with him, they do visit sometimes though!) with a babysitter so he wont be completely alone growing up.

Bob's just kind of vibing on Earth until he reaches maturity :)

#So yeah. Age wise he's a bit younger than the earth #So at least 3.7 eons old :) #<- that's the age of the oldest known fossils #The earth is estimated to be 4.54 eons old #In Worldeater terms he's still an infant. It's going to be long ways away until he's an adult #I feel like he matures mentally a lot during this time? While he's actively awake and learning I mean #Like his brain's still mushy and s mo o t h since well- not fully developed but he can understand concepts like language and stuff #But he's still in no way an adult. #He'd pretty much sleep until he gets hungry again for the first few centuries of his life cause there's not anything 'fun' happening #So when life starts to develop on land and animals start to move onto the shores he stays awake a lot more often because 'ooo new friends!' #And by the time of the dinosaurs-modern day he is MUCH more awake and actively interacting with the things around him #Bob's lore forced me to do so much research into the earth and space my god. #Kos speaks #[Bob Beloved]

It reminds me of why the stop the steal people lost their legal challenges to Biden’s election. It’s not that it’s impossible for right wing people to use legal architecture to halt democratic processes (cf Bush v Gore), it’s that they did it in an openly stupid and nonsensical way. In terms of American fascism I think the lessons they’re learning re: interacting with institutional power is that they can’t use twitter posting tactics in the courtroom

#I don’t know how salient this analysis is because like also america is a well developed fascist state in many ways #like in terms of large scale fascistic processes those things are already finely honed #but there’s a particularly unstable element being expressed domestically #eg qanon stop the steal unite the right etc etc #that seems to be losing legal battles not because fascism is structurally excluded from those processes #but that they aren’t being sophisticated with their legal challenges #I mean I guess also another conclusion to be made is that this is just the logical output of a well developed fascist state #you are going to get these fantastical spasms of reactionary violence and legal resistance at home #as stupid and ineffectual as it appears to be #like these are also in a sense the ‘new normal’ of an openly fascist state #anyway these are messy thoughts not fully formed. the more I learn about this topic the less I feel like I actually know
