Hello ☺️🌺

Just wanted to say that the way you draw lilia is so so good, my heart races. The way you draw him so…broad shouldered?? If that’s the right terms?? Has me fanning myself. I love all the art thank you for drawing them

sorry i saw this earlier but i was so happy i wanted to draw you something nice.....unfortunately ive had artblock lately so please accept this lilia wip instead

Honestly I didn't think anyone would notice I like to draw him with broader shoulders😳💖💖💖!!thank you really!!!!

I personally dislike how squished his sprites usually look.... at first I thought it was because he was withering away but even general lilia looks a little smooshed. I have a new hc now tho, what if he just had too many hugs while growing up

#twst #finally answering my inbox #i saw your tags earlier and knew anxiety and autism be damned i will reply #seriously think he deserves to have shoulders #im glad to know someone else who understands #once again i am sorry for replying back very late #still feel bad i have another ask that has been in my inbox for maybe a year now #asdffdnkjgfdjhkgfdsjhkfgds #i like asks but i also hardly reply to the few i have gotten these past few years sorry (^^;)

Do you have a preference for top Obi-Wan or top Anakin in obikin? And if so, why? I'm new to the fandom and ship, and it seems that top Anakin is very popular. I've always imagined him bottoming more often for Obi-Wan, although I like to think they switch occasionally

i very much do not have a preference or an opinion on this! i read and write either - the important thing for me is that they're recognizable to my understanding of the characters and i don't see either of them as massively frail, demure, twinky, etc so that's usually the stuff i don't read or interact with (and i've moved away dom/sub stuff currently) though more power to you if that's what you like! to me, their sexual positions in bed do not make up a big part of their characters, so i really can switch between both and enjoy it all.

it's just not the interesting part of a story for me, and honestly (and i know this is controversial or what passes for controversial in a fandom lol) i don't tend to tag my explicit fics with who is topping and who is bottoming if there's penetrative sex involved - especially for longer fics because the story isn't about that in my mind. it's a very small aspect of it and the least important part

i do think i've seen a lot of conflating dom/sub with top/bottom lately and that's a trend that comes and goes like waves and also a trend i very much dislike. i definitely have stronger views on conflating dom/sub and top/bottom than i have on who should top and who should bottom LOL

#asks #and all those strong views can be boiled down to don't do that #also i wouldn't say one is more popular than the other #i think sometimes i see a lot of one over the other and it's just because i noticed it and now i see it everywhere #confirmation bias (not actually called confirmation bias probably) #like im sure there are not 1 million posts where anakin is a subby bottom (used interchangeably) #but i've noticed it once and now i feel like i see it everywhere because i'm hypersensitive to it #i guess my final point is that my bestest understanding of their fictional romantic relationship #wouldn't be that they switch occasionally #but that they would quite literally switch all the time because their romantic dynamics are separate from their top/bottom preferences #and honestly ive seen that opinion a lot lately #and im so happy about it lol #cause a few years ago that was not something i saw floating around LOL

My brain went off these past months and I forgot to shate the few arts I've made lately here, so prepare for flood

a redraw meme! I'm a little mad at myself for not doing this for a few years (I've done a few other redraws in the meantime, but...it wouldve been cool to have a bunch of years in a row! TwT)

2007 was the earliest made on gimp, a touchpad and NO pressure (obvious with the THICK CHUNKY LINES. im 90% sure I did lineart, colored over them, then lined over them again all on 1 layer...) plus the pattern fills gimp had (the stripes and rainbows, plus the repeating space background that needed a desperate scale-up...)

2015 might be the most obviously tmm inspired style wise ( and I think...this character WAS a tmm oc, actually, so this tracks. her name was star hoshiko (yes. star star.) and she was infused with star power instead of an animal. whatever that means. in my defense I was Ten 👍) and was when I was still using sai!!

2016&17 were me trying to sort of push into semi-realism, the smaller eyes, the more realistic skirt in the '16 version and more realistic hair in the '17 version, and also the first ones done in clip studio which is still my mvp program.

2018 was the furthest from the original, me REALLY pushing orangey yellows for some reason (the darker oranges let the yellow glowy parts stand out more was probably my logic at the time?) it's also funny to see that I went back to a more cartoony/anime style between 2017! the eyes got bigger again, the hair more stylized (esp with the shading/highlighting!) yet the clothes got more detailed....

2024- this time around I wanted to try and capture elements of the original design, since it seemed I was drifting further and further away from it... those very bright lemony yellows that scare me to work with sometimes, the original stripes, that BAD dark yellow for the base of the dress... I know a lot of people will prefer the semi-realism of the earlier years but I feel like the very anime style is more FUN. and I feel a lot more confident in my posing, expressions, and I just. focus more on having fun than making her pretty. that being said I did try to add little details from the previous years designs :3 doing redraws is always so nice to reflect on style and improvement!! I totally recommend doing one if you want to, a blank version is here!

also for funsies, heres how gross the flats look. man i HATE that weird base dress shade T_T u can tell I did shift it to be SLIGHTLY warmer, just a bit....the cool-toned shading pushes it back to the lemony again tho, lol

#redraw meme #improvement meme #magical girls #original #hmmm wait a star themed mew with green eyes. ....oh. a beta cara LMAO #i mean this character is not a mew anymore bc i wanted to push her star theming BUT. CMON. thats funny #also huge shoutout to past me for deciding to interprete that chunky lineart around the lips into black lipstick? thats awesome #also no dots on my shading like i do a lot lately aaaa bc the canvas was SO small it looked weird :") next year.... #or ill do another redraw. not of this but i have a few other i could do :thinking: #no new stuff only remakes im just like hollywood fr. sorry 😔 #also yes art just a day apart insead of queueing it like a smart person might. no patience found

Today I’m thinking about the time Dorothy said that she gave herself a perm during her ‘midlife crisis’ in response to Stan impulsively buying a car

#does this mean her hair is or was particularly straight at some point in her life ? #just how curly was it ??!!! #this is also adding to my hc that she chopped her hair herself after the phone call #I’m thinking. it sounds like she went thought a few different ‘eras’ & now I *need* to draw what those eras might have looked like 😭 #it’d be a fun project !! #im feeling especially attached to Dorothy lately #<- more than normal ? #that’s my baby #the golden girls #dorothy zbornak #personal #she couldn’t have done that perm too long before meeting Blanche actually #like 5-10 years max. since she’s 55 at the start of the show #hmmmmm im thinking many thoughts many things to think about #or did the perm go terribly and *that* triggered the hair cut #I have to KNOW I have so many thoughts

Duke should have a chain with a lil bat on it and that’s all I can really say about fashion

#he got it from luke who made it for Jace #to me luke is like a handy sim #there’s no specific thing he’s centered on he can tinker with anything tbh #he does NOT thing jason should wear a red durag instead of that nasty ass hood so Duke can never give him a 10 #tiff demanded her own with her own customized r for Robin #she could’ve got one at those lil mall kiosks however she can use her custom made one as a birdarang. yes she needs new ones every night #it’s just too cool #if ur black u already know she’s got her own initial necklace in civilian life #uhm anyways #Duke is mad bc he got to Jace too light 💔 #a few years ago Jace as Batman would’ve been extremely irresponsible and let Duke do whatever the hell he wanted #however after the accident he’s super strict now sad #Duke can’t even cuss around him before he’s yapping about proper communication in uniform #Duke asks tiff how she deals with it and tiff says it’s either this or working with those yt ppl again in Gotham and she’s good 👍🏾 #if the batgirls are there she’ll pull up but she’s NAWT dealing with Bruce and em #the relationship between tiff and Damian I made up in my head 💔 #‘I hate that bitch’ 5 min later ‘me and the bestieeee’ #unrelated well slightly but thinking about luke lately and gritting my teeth at the tim parallels #maybe I’ll talk about it next month but I’ve been too nice to tim this year im sick

anyone else up feeling utterly overwhelmed or nah

#not to overshare on the internet but. #idk there's just So Much to untangle and So Many mental habits to break and it feels impossible. how can i undo 20 years of this. #like yeah ive already made some progress just in the last few years but thats just the very tip of the proverbial iceberg!!!! #every single day i find something else buried deep that i have to try and root out!!!!!!!!!!! literally every day!!!!!!!!!!! #im just. hrghhgh #i dont want to be fighting this for the rest of my life man. im so tired. #i think. the worst thing about this is. it feels like they still have a hold on me. #which is genuinely the most bone-chilling horrifying thought i have ever had. #i DONT regret leaving but man. if i fall back in. because everything familiar is there. i dont think i could rip myself away again. #because leaving the first time was hard enough. i don't think im strong enough to do it again. #genuinely terrifying. i hate living like this #getting the fuck out of this state canNOT happen soon enough. i swear to god #winter speaks #personal #<- sorry its very late at night <///3 im getting introspective and feeling frustrated

I refuse to believe eddie is younger than buck though because as chim said "you're not his elder". buck was 26 in s1 and 29 in s4 and so to me, eddie has to be at least a year older? but you're right about them being around the same age and yet at such different stages. buck craves that family and I wish he could have it 💔 that baby duck could cling a little harder for once (to eddie, not a stranger..)

Well, considering season 6, Eddie can't be more than a few months older than Buck. I don't think they would actually make Buck older than him, but the thing is, we know Eddie has to be born in 1992 given the date on Shannon's grave and the way they didn't imply that Eddie is older than her, but Buck can be from 1991 or 1992 considering all the times they stated his age, 26 in s1, 28 right before the tsunami, 29 before he finds out about Daniel, 30 when he gets struck by lightning, and the very confusing way the time passes on the show. I guess you could push it a little, say Eddie is from late 91, since Shannon is from October 92, he could be anywhere from November 91 to September 93 and still be the "same age" as her in between birthdays but I refuse to believe they would put him as being born in 93, so our best guess is somewhere in 92, but our best guess with Buck is also somewhere in 92. So they can't be more than a few months apart from each other. But I also think everyone latched onto the way Eddie acts older (and the way Ryan is older) to put him as older than he is when his whole thing is that he was forced to grow up too fast, by the pressure to be the "man of the house" and the way that he had to learn be a father before he got to be a kid and the way that war changes someone in ways other experience won't. Buck has a boyish energy to him because he was left alone, because he was invisible. Maddie left for college then she left because of Doug, so the only person that could've pushed him to get his shit together wasn't around, so he lived life the way he did because he didn't have anyone else to care about besides himself and he never cared about himself very much to begin with. Because the way he settles into himself is not just Abby in the way he likes to say, it's Bobby, Hen, and Chim letting him care about them too. And the way he really settles once he gets Maddie back and meets Eddie and Chris shows the way he just didn't have a reason before them. But they do balance each other off in a beautiful way because Eddie needed to loosen up a little, and Buck not only shows him a different perspective, he also gives Eddie means to care about himself while making sure Chris is also always taken care of, and Eddie gives Buck a reason to not be a reckless idiot just because he wants to feel something.

#i was always a eddie is no more than a year older believer because i always got i got my highschool girlfriend pregnant vibes from him #and for that to be true with Chris age he would have to be closer in age with Buck t #like not gonna lie the old man jokes are my biggest pet peeve in the fandom #like will tap out with the overuse of them without a second thought #and i always liked the way it made Eddie's character that more interesting to me the idea of him also being in his late 20s #so I'm perfectly fine with them being closer in age to each other #but honestly #if Buck was older that would've been addressed i think #so im a eddie is from early 92 buck is from mid 92 truther #just a few months apart because they have always been chasing each other #and that includes being born around the same time because they couldn't let the other exist in a world without them #but that's just me #911 #buddie thoughts #anon 😌 #i really need a tag for asks #911 meta

did i tell you guys i got my dad to start reading jane eyre

#he's been reading it on and off for geez idek how long now probably at least a few months #im not normally a fast reader but i did read jane eyre in exactly one week #that overlapped w my spring break tho. i went feral #to think that was five years ago almost... crazy #tales from diana #i saw the lights on downstairs and i went down to check what that was for and i found him in his office reading #and he said 'im still working' (he did in fact have his work open on his computer) #hes been liking it #i think we all remember the first time we read jane eyre and we saw jane and rochester got engaged #and panicking bc there was still sooooo much book left. oh my god #the level of not ok that was #jane eyre really is the goddamn best. like it really is #it invented new emotions in me. brother #he's almost done though. i can tell he's enjoying it bc he's been reading it more lately

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now

#latimers parents not mine!!!! i am NOT moving back to florida LOL #really hope that the changes will be good for my mental health. this apartment is toxic to us #ive been on the verge of meltdowns Kind Of A Lot lately. imnot doing great #extremely dependent on substances. just to reach a baseline level of functioning. but even that isnt working as much anymore #the only things i do on my phone or tablet these days is like. 2 mobile games. and skirting past my dms to check latimers blog #its too overwhelming to even open discord these days yknow. everything on earth is too much for me right meow #i havent been drawing i havent been social online OR irl i havent been cooking or creating #i havent been keeping up with personal hygiene like at all im particularly ashamed about that one #i've been really bad about doing my T the past few months which is a HUGE shame because im SO fucking hyped to be on it #theres just. too many obstacles in getting it done half the time. and the other half of the time i just forget #anyway. anyway. #our lease ends in july so between now and then we're just gonna try our best to tolerate our living situation enough to get by #there's a light at the end of the tunnel. and its called 'i only have to be in charge of like 2 rooms at most. and not a household!' #we're gonna try to slowly comb through all our things between now and then so the process of moving wont suck as bad #cuz listen. its pretty fucking bad right now #maybe not for other people. but it is for me. and its okay to let myself come to terms with that #im just. so relieved. still very stressed! but theres at least light at the end of the tunnel and its only like 2 months away #ill be able to draw guilt-free again. ill be able to just EXIST guilt-free #i dont think ive felt guilt-free for just existing the way i do since like. turning 20 #i know my mom wouldve loved if i stayed home forever. and im sad i cant be there for her #but ever since i had a fight with my dad at 15 or 16 it just really felt like he didnt want me there more and more #maybe as the youngest he was resenting that i was preventing him from becoming an empty nester or something. i dont know #because all the other kids had been moved out and on their own at least once but i had never left home before #i dont know if he'd be heartbroken or not to hear that i feeling like he was resenting me. but thats the energy i was picking up for years #i dunno. i dont know #anyway. back to housing. for now im going to try to relax and store energy for the moving process #the huge pile of things by the kitchen? i dont have to worry about that becoming permanent because we're leaving in 2 months #the general discord of the state of our possessions? we have to go through everything to pack it all anyway. we can move in RIGHT this time #when we moved in here we didnt have a car or license so we were dependent on latimers 3-hr-drive-away parents to help us move #just /across town/. and we had a whole month between leases! but it still had to be done in a weekend

I was trying to clean my keyboard because I realized that I had not cleaned under the keys even once in the almost 10 years I've had this computer and I took a couple keys off and then realized I couldn't get them back on. I can't figure it out no matter how hard I tried and the whole time I was just terrified that my parents would be mad at me. I don't think I've felt that in a while

#shut up me #as a uni student who lives far from home I just havent had that kind of fear in years but I was so scared #Yknow that ''I did the thing they told me not to do and it went wrong and I cant fix it'' #''I need to ask for help but that requires admitting i did something very stupid and theyre going to be upset'' #that + the stress I've been under lately and when I called my dad to ask him to help me I just burst into tears #in the end its okay. he wasnt mad #he actually said that it was about time we got a new laptop for me anyways and that when i went home in a few weeks i could get one #as a birthday present in advance #so all in all. its more than okay #so I dont know why im still crying #I think I just need to be put in a box and left alone in an attic for a while. im so tired

so im like mostly aromantic and like I don't experience romantic attraction most of the time and the few times that i thought i liked someone i ended up realizing i actually didn't at least that's how it was before now bc right now i think i like someone for real like not just finding someone pretty but like the whole i want to hold your hand and spend time with you and i want to love you and grow old with you and i have no idea how to deal with this

#inner thoughts to keep me sane #usually ill think im in love with somebody for like a month or two #and then they'll do something dumb #and ill go #oh actually i don't like you #and then ill look back at that time and cringe and move on #but like right now #i am feeling emotions and i don't know what to do #like when im around him im happy #and when im not around him all i want is to be around him #and like the most startling thing is #i don't think id mind if we kissed #i have always thought of kissing as something beautiful #but not for me #like it's this beautiful thing that exists outside of my life #but lately i don't feel that way #anyway ive been identifying as aroflux for the past year or so #but i think i might actually be demiromantic???? #idk there are so many arospec labels #and i half identify with a few #and like yeah labels dont matter #but i like labels #i like fitting things into little categories that help explain why things are the way they are #anyway im having this crisis in a walmart parking lot

1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!

2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr

3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!

overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!

#aritalks #i did cry a little bit when i first woke up because i dont really know what to do about work and also i hate not having a car i can use #not only because of the work aspect but also getting my license when i was 18 gave me a freedom i didn’t have before #and i don’t like having to rely on other people just to like go to the fucking store or something yk #but then my best friend/roommate messaged me happy birthday and i was like fuck it! today is going to be a good day! #the stressful uncertainties can wait until tomorrow #also one of my best friends who hasn’t said happy birthday to me the past two years #(not intentionally im p sure they were just busy on my birthdays the past two years #and then had that moment of ‘oh shit i didnt send a message fuck i think its too late now’ which i totally get bc anxiety things yk) #was one of the first people to message me happy birthday!! #i’m also hoping to still be able to go see my mom and then stay the night at my dads tonight #so i can see both my parents and also my baby siblings for my birthday #my dads working today but after he texted happy birthday i sent him a text asking if he thinks we could still make it work #my mom is asleep still i think (she called me at midnight and left a voicemail singing happy birthday!! but her sleep schedule has been all #over the place recently so i’m waiting until 11:30 to call her which is in like 30 mins) #but she said something yesterday about driving out to me to give me a hug and also bring me my diabetes stuff that got delivered #(her house is my mailing address because i know it’s not going to change bc it’s my great grandparents house that she’s partially inhereting #when my great grandpa dies but since i have moved out of my dads my address has changed twice and i didnt have a mailbox at my last place so #just for the sake of consistency and not having to worry about important shit getting sent to the wrong address i’ve had her house as my #mailing address since i moved out of my dads at 19) #so i think i’m gonna ask her if she can just pick me up instead so i can go to her house w her and hang out with her #and hopefully my dad will be able to at least stop by with my siblings so i can see them too #i’d like to stay the night with them but if we can’t make it happen then i can also stay the night w my mom and hopefully tomorrow figure #out the car situation. might have to rent a car for a week if i can afford it? best case scenario is my moms car can be fixed but i still #dont know whats wrong with it ik there are two potential problems and one is fixable the other is not #the fixable one would cost like $150-$400 to fix depending on if we get a used part or a new one #if its $150-$200 ish i can probably afford to pay for the whole thing or at least most of it #but if its more than that hopefully my dad or one of my family members can help #and i can just pay them back in like $50 increments with my next few paychecks #just realized i said i wouldnt worry abt the car thing today and also i think im at tag limit to i’ll stop now lmao xoxo gossip girl ❤️
