I am actually so serious I think it really messes with a childs creativity and joy to tell them to never make a mary sue OC. Like that unbridaled form of joy where you make a self insert OC who super cool and everyone loves them and they have every superpower in the world SHOULD be something a kid makes, it nourishes their ability to create things for fun and not be stifled by "oh but what if my character is too overpowered and cringey...". whatever

#^ 10 y/o me was obsessed w/ art YTers who would always talk about good and bad art and mary sues and stuff #I think kids should be encouraged to make bad art and stupud OCs as much as possible abd im so serious about that. i think its actually #amazing for their development as both as person and artist

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

#hs #homestuck #dirk strider #eye strain #probably? if you think i should tag something else let me know!! #anyway hooray its time for rambling in the tags #so uhhh heres the teæ i've been sick for like a week and you know how it is when suddenly your throat becomes the main gunk warehouse #and you can't breathe lol. wish i could just pull it out. anywaaayy this is basically a vent piece for me being sick lol #also i could draw remotively the same thing with kris deltarune. oh how easy it is to project having a cold #though i have been also experiencing troubles with feelings recently as well....how fitting for dirk #speaking of the man himself (enough of me) his relationship with his own Heart...is peculiar to say the least #the thing i love about alphakids is that despite being so feral they were. so relatable. i cannot stress this enough how unwell they are an #and how they represented being a teen so well. yeah being 15 years old makes that to you #imagine being an emotional mess and trying to fit the 'norm' and act normal about your friends so youre not offputting #and then you fall in love with you friend and your ai clone falls in love with him too looool noone makes out of this one alive #uhh literally. godtiering stuff and dying remember #and speaking of it. tw for suicidal talk for the rest of tags #do you ever think dirk was suicidal. of course the part of when he teleports his head to jake was totally planned and he knew he would -> #wake up as dreamself but. don't you think the moment he cut his head off was sort of. cathartic. how much did he hate his own guts #beheading himself not only for the plan...but also because he thought he 'deserved' it #also wow he is a Prince and was literally beheaded don't you think its funny hahaa #sigh poor thing #this has ended on a not the very pleasant note hm #also fckkkkkk i didn't draw anything with rose/mary for the lesbian visabilty week #(putting the slash because tumblr search system has a dumb gag with showing you posts that contain the tag inside the other tag. #and i don't want this post to show up for the ros/mary fans because it's not!!!! its rose's father emotional crisis post!!!!) #update YOOOO WHAT THE HELL THE GIF HAS EVEN LESS PIXELS THEN I PLANNED fantastic #this your breakfast now tumblr. enjoy your crunchy flakes of dirks meltdown. mwah

Note: I am finally posting this (something that has been in my drafts for actual months) because @pinkeoni hurt my feelings talking about Will and Alan Turing). So...you can inavertently thank Robin for this LMAO

I don’t delve much into Stranger Things analysis anymore, but having just watched The Imitation Game, the biopic they made about Alan Turning in 2014—I’m thinking that maybe Will doing his presentation on the man might have an delightful (secondary) parallel to this film’s exploration of him, given Will’s burgeoning queerness + ongoing relationship with normalcy.

Throughout the film, the ongoing theme of "differences bringing about greatness/change" permeates every character, but Turing especially—something that the conversation he has with a character named Joan near the end of the film showcases well:

In this conversation, Joan is trying to encourage Turing to come out of depression and rely on her, given he is struggling immensely with physical effects of chemical castration—which he obviously resents, but feels is better than giving up the life he has and being “entirely alone” because of his sexuality / desires (sound familiar)?

This ongoing exploration of queerness as tied to greatness and/or otherness is something that is very often explored in Stranger Things as well, primarily with Will—to the point where Will has nearly the exact conversation Alan has with Joan with Jonathan in S2:

—in addition to us exploring the relationship between a lack of normalcy, queerness and even nerdiness through/by other characters like Robin, Mike & Lucas.

Now (as we all know), Will’s homosexuality has been forever and inherently linked to his otherness/lack of normalcy—whether with how he was bullied in S1-S2, his struggle to be open with his feelings for Mike in S4, or the million literal / metaphorical things in between, Will has always been encouraged not to conform, but still struggles to self-actualize enough to embrace himself fully…which most of us expect for him come S5.

Basically: the underlying theme of this film for Turning (much like the underlying themes at the heart of ST) revolves around how most people strive for normalcy, despite normalcy being undesirable if you expect to do anything great/interesting. While Turing was a homosexual man, he was also one who struggled greatly with fitting in overall—much like Will, which I think perfectly reflects how the Duffers have set up their S5 resolution + solving Will’s ongoing internal struggle with his romantic feelings for Mike + ongoing dissonance with normalcy.

(sidebar: there are articles exploring the idea of "embracing difference" in this movie that parallel Will's "Being Different." See: Embracing Difference - The Imitation Game)

Both TIG!Turing and Will exist in on the fringes on their respective worlds due to their differences and homosexuality—just as both of them are both most inspired by their (romantic) love for their male best friends....to the point that those relationships define their contributions to the story: Turing with the machine that helped the Allied powers break the Nazi Enigma code, and Will in ways I'm sure we'll be talking about in 2025.

TL;DR: While Will still has another season to sort through what his love for his best friend means for both his rejection of normalcy and his greatness, it's fairly apparent that (much like Turing) it is the embracing of both difference and homosexuality that leads to greatness—no matter how the world feels about that overall.

(We love it when the gays learn life lessons (and when they win)).

This guy actually went to rescue his boyfriend instead of his codependent work partner he's been romantically (?) obsessed with for years and had such a crisis over it he immediately broke up with the boyfriend. NOW I am invested

the ghosts I think would watch d20:

kitty - gets extremely excited about everything, happy stims and squeals along with the players, "I don't understand a lot of what's happening, but it's so very thrilling! everyone gets terribly excited for the number twenty; their happiness makes me happy!"

cap - dragged along to watch with kitty, mostly doesn't pay attention to the game but definitely simps for lou wilson. and can you blame him? gets hooked on battles, his eyes light up at the prospect of strategizing.

thomas - fascinated by the storytelling of it and the emotional performances, especially fey and flowers. "these people have such a way with words" sort of energy. wants alison to contact cast members to ask questions about the lore and she has to explain that's not how that works.

pat - played d&d when he was alive, interested in the ways the game has changed since then, constantly interrupts with anecdotes about his games and characters, desperately wants to get a button house campaign going

#alison and mike are begrudgingly nerds about it too #they're like. wait. okay this is kinda cool. #julian thinks its utter nerd shit he wouldnt be caught dead near #but sometimes robin likes to watch so julian gets cajoled into sitting there (mostly just playing with robin's hair) #fanny is shocked and appalled by the humor and refuses to be a part of it #but will listen when the others talk about it #humphrey will pay attention if his head happens to be in the room when it's on #and finds the podcast-like nature of it enjoyable so alison finds some other actual play pods to show him #mary is skeptical of the magic and anything with demons and supernatural stuff she's out #bbc ghosts #dimension 20 #watch me make my interests a venn diagram. im not sorry.

Anyone else ever just-

*makes an au that started out as a really vague idea*

*au starts to form more clearly as you write out the vague idea*

*you think the au is full of sillys*

*au is actually characters experiencing The Horrors with a few sillys thrown in for flavor*

*you are left to stare at your document in horror as you realize the monster that your silly little vague idea has become*

#dean talks #dean talks about writing #this is abt a supernatural/percy jackson crossover idea i had that started out as 'oh what if sally was mary's younger sister' #and has spiraled out of my control into me giving zero fucks about timelines and putting the characters thru The Horrors worse than in cano #someone should stop me. #ALSO I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT IT IF ANYONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT IT BC I FR HAVE LIKE #ALMOST 16K WORDS OF A MIXTURE OF ACTUAL WRITING AND RAMBLY FILLER/CONTEXT/OUTLINE-Y STUFF #holy fuck i havent written this much is this short a time span in a long time. #the brainworms are real #and they have taken me over for the last five days to bust this shit out and ive still got more waiting to be released #supernatural #spn #percy jackson #pjo #heroes of olympus #hoo

So we’re all in agreement that little baby Dick Grayson is definitely watching Jimmy’s Flamebird videos on John and Mary’s phones?

#he believes Jimmy wholeheartedly #he is enamored with Superman stories #he watches Jimmy’s Flamebird videos #and news segments from Metropolis #he’s obsessed #John and Mary and the whole of Haley’s circus are so tired of hearing about Superman #but little Dick is so excited and so they just smile and nod as he talks and talks and talks #dc stuff #maws #my adventures with Superman

i will never understand the hate that some older millennials direct towards younger adults born in the mid to late 90s. i’m a zillennial (january of ‘98) and while i haven’t lived either the FULL millennial or gen z experience, i DO know that shitting on people solely for the year they were born in is fucked up. it’s very disheartening how grown adults will gatekeep entire cultural phenomena. the commodification of media thanks to sites like buzzfeed has convinced us that we did not truly experience something unless we had physical ephemera of that era. if we didn’t have 20 beanie babies or didn’t hear bye bye bye on a hitclip or had to wait 20 minutes to use dial-up internet or used T9 on a flip phone or watched clarissa explains it all live on nickelodeon, we weren’t really #millennials. 30-year-old grown adults are saying shit like ‘oh, you like that? well guess what, i grew up with it and LIVED through it.’ on the flip side of this coin, we can and should ALSO acknowledge the existence of cringe without making people feel excluded from participating in said phenomena. if we shit on zoomers for rediscovering early 2000s fashion trends or listening to music of the late 90s, or shit on 1997 & 1998 adults for having little to no recollections of a time before 9/11, what are we doing? what does that say about our generation? what does that say about how we define ourselves?? it’s a boomer mentality that is tainting the experience for all of us, not to mention dividing us up. we can be nostalgic for a time when life was indeed simpler without being actively harsh to young people also partaking in that innocence. please be kind and let people enjoy things.

Do you think Casey Marie would be upset by how long it takes for her to meet the babies, since there adults when she meets them meaning she missed out on their whole childhood

During the years which Casey is leading the resistance (and winning!) she sets her mind to the goal of getting New York back so she truly doesn't think much about the matter.

She definitely feels bad about it though after being victorious. She can't help it tho because it's just a fact, she did indeed miss out for a big part of the tots lifes, she can't change all the time that has passed.

That doesn't mean that she will forever be bitter about it though, it is a sad passing thought from time to time but it goes away when spending time with her family, all complete and together in the end!

#also mikey definitely just kind of pulls out photo albums and videos and just important stuff from the tots while growing up and just shows #it all to casey marie #mikey can talk for hours about his kids #casey marie will listen with a smile on her face #she missed her uncle very much #mikey while holding a bunch of socks: they actually used these for a while #cm tearing up but smiling all the while: I REMEMBER THEY WERE REALLY SMALL. THATs ADORABLE #ask #peepaw and babies au
