What type of dessert food would the poets be?

I return with a list to please the mases. This is inspired by the copious amounts of ice cream I've consumed this week.

Neil: Jello mold with fruit in it.

Todd: Plain cheesecake. If he's feeling crazy he eats it with a single raspberry.

Charlie: Pot brownie.

Knox: Overly sugary cake served at children's birthday parties.

Meeks: Tiramisu. It's sophisticated like him.

Pitts: His is what I like to call ice cream nightmare. It's usually served at a soft serve ice cream place and it's named something like "triple fudge brownie chocolate batter sugar marshmallow supreme."

Cameron: Key lime pie.

✨Bonus.✨.

Chris: Creme brulee.

Ginny: Lava cake.

Mentally lying on my bed and kicking my feet like a schoolgirl while joyously waiting for more Zack and Cloud sketchies ❤️ In your AU is Cloud completely conscious and aware when he first breaks out of his coma? Or is there a sort of in-between zone for awhile? If there is, is Zack overjoyed or worried out of his mind (or both)? Does Cloud struggle with allowing somebody to take care of him?

Sending you virtual hugs should you want them or a crisp and respectful nod of the head if not!

IM SORRY this ask only just showed up in my inbox but it says it's from march 24th?? tumblr killing me with daggers,,,, This is going to be a long one sorry!! I'll explain the stages of his coma first, and then the stages of waking up from it.

In the beginning, while they are on the run, Cloud is in.. something close to a catatonic state. He can perform basic instincts, such as blinking, swallowing, the small stumble-steps he's shown doing in gameplay, and making small noises. In my au/headcanon, this is because of the Mako keeping his body up and functioning in spite of his intense poisoning. Because of the Mako, his muscles also don't atrophy during this period. He has no memories from this era at all.

After this, a little before the battalion but mostly after, his body begins to heal from his Mako poisoning. Which is good. but the lack of the access Mako leaves his body with far less functions. He begins to lose the ability to eat, becomes unable to even stumble, his eyes shut and don't open again. He falls into a full comatose state. Which, although it is very scary for Zack, and takes a lot more work and medical equipment, is actually a good sign for his healing. Fighting off mako poisoning this far is already rare.

(In this segment, he is kept fed and hydrated through his IV, but he switches to an NG tube after he wakes up, due to the inconvenience of the IV and continued difficulty swallowing.)

His first signs of waking up were a few weeks before he opened his eyes. He began responding to stimuli, ears flicking at noises, hands tensing, eyes occasionally opening but not for long. It's at this stage that he also starts having nightmares, and becomes more aware of his environment. He has blurry memories from this era, but in the moment he was mostly just confused and distressed, and didn't process it. this took up most of the few weeks.

After some time, he began to have more moments of consciousness and rational thought. He could start to respond to simple questions or requests such as blinking or closing his hands. He only vaguely remembers this. It lasts a few days

when he actually began to wake up, initially he was incredibly upset and confused, not being recovered enough to actually process the situation. This resulted in him lashing out, not knowing where he was and initially not recognizing zack, he struggled and tried to pull his tubes out. This was the final stage to his waking up, only lasts an hour? possibly a few hours? and he was finally fully awake after this!!

When Cloud woke up from his coma, his body was incredibly weak from being bedridden so much. His muscles had atrophied severely over the few months, which put him in a wheelchair as they worked on him recovering.

In this stage, he is mostly determined to improve again. He feels a lot of gratitude towards Zack for taking care of him so much, and a lot of frustration towards himself for not recovering faster.

his next stage was crutches, he recovered his arm strength faster than his legs. He begins to pick up on zack overworking himself, but he's unsure how to approach it, and often ends up saying the wrong thing. (He still uses an NG tube in this era, but he begins to be able to eat on his own, so he doesn't have it in for much longer)

His next stage is using a cane, which he ends up using for a long while. Even after his muscles have recovered, he maintains knee/hip pain for the rest of his life. He also has migraines and memory issues like in canon. At this stage, he begins to get frustrated with Zack more and more. He appreciates Zacks help, but feels frustrated with feeling like Zack doesn't trust him to take care of himself, and upset with how Zack prioritizes Cloud so much over himself. Due to these frustrations, he grows more confrontational. (<- comic linked is not 100% canon to this au, just an example.) Zack is overjoyed that Cloud is awake. He thought Clouds return to consciousness would help his fears and guilt ease, but for some reason he finds himself more worried than ever. He always backs off when Cloud says he wants space, but he finds himself worrying about what Cloud is doing now that he isn't able to be monitoring him all the time, and then guilty for feeling so worried.

#zack lives au #zack fair #my art #cloud strife #zakkura #zack fair ffvii #cloud strife ffvii #zack fair ff7 #cloud strife ff7 #zack x cloud #clack #NOT ALL THE MEDICAL INFORMATION IN HERE IS 100% ACCURATE. i talked to someone who works with caretakers #but i am not a caretaker nor a nurse nor medically trained #plus I smudged some of the facts of comatose and catatonic states to fit with the symptoms cloud displays in canon #so its like.. a fantasy coma and doesn't fully reflect what someone would experience in real life #i hope it isn't too egregiously done if anyone has some critique or suggestions i want to hear them!!!!! #coma cw #medical struggles cw

deeply enjoy that the novel can also be read as a commentary on the fallacy of information. we have zzs as the main narrator who adds to this nuance by being a former spymaster and leader of a bunch of proficient investigators. hes very intimate with the process of verification of information, and even his vast databank of knowledge and his abilities of filtering and sorting the "true" from the "fake" is tested throughout the novel through many instances and events. its especially interesting because he makes a major mistake, almost from the very start, that he resolves only after a very long time, and only after overcoming personal weaknesses. his personal weakness at recognizing truth vs decept reveals itself in the inability to meet personal events with a human perspective; he is basically functioning like a person with two lives, and most of the time, he at least acts as if he is regarding wkx, suspected master of ghosts, from the professional business grounds of the retired leader of shadows rather than from the perspective of a person with an adventurous life and wishes of his own. in this lies the danger to misinterpret and to refuse to confront what is truly going on. if zzs cant 'find' the "true reason" for the ghost master following his humble retired self, he is going to do his utmost to make up one (on the basis of his personal and professional experience with such situations), instead of considering at least once the admittedly unlikely chance that wkx might like him and is even deeply sincere about him. this doesnt signal anything less but that we, as the reader, should not irrevocably trust even the one person who is in most stories the most trustworthy; the main narrator. instead, we are advised to reserve us the right to doubt and think for ourself, to look critically upon even zzs, which only circles back to the novel's theme of the fallacy of information. it even lends to the novel's dialogue with the human right to form your own opinion and your own thoughts and come to your own conclusions, no matter how much they might diverge from norm or mainstream or traditions, and no matter how tempting it might be not to.

#tian ya ke #just thoughts im having while im continuing my reread #zhou zishu from tyk #zhou zishu #this has me wondering if zzs's struggle with himself regarding trusting in wkx's display of sincerity #can also be read as his general struggle with being a person with a life of his own and private opinions in service of no other than himsel #one of the things he learns is that is okay to have desires and its okay to Be a person #oftentimes that reveals itself in the novel's question of morality as a concept and the conditions for receiving love and care #'are villains and ppl whove done bad stuff deserving of love and care? do they need to earn it?' #but i think it also comes true here where zzs essentially needs to find a way to be human again #going from having lived a life with a truly atrocious work/life balance to a life that is fully and entirely his own #(i always think that zzs taking the nails has a lot to do with reclaiming ownership) #(and also with 'detoolifying' himself; hes turning himself into a cripple he is 'useless'. this gives him the justification #he needs to live according to his own personal whims and desires.) #updating my tags to find my insane chat with geneticcatalyst again-> #bouncing thoughts back and forth #the mutual tag #geneticcatalyst

Hey everyone! Kat here, and boy has it been busy! Yours truly has been working hard alongside a bunch of fantastic folks here in the Bendy community and the BATDR voice cast! We’re in the process of cooking up something pretty special for all of you! I really hope you enjoy our teaser for this project, you’re in for a real treat!

I’m not permitted to share details on what this is, and I can’t confirm if your guesses are right or wrong (though I will absolutely encourage you to try and unravel the mystery). But I CAN tell you that I’m responsible for some of the art on this! I illustrated the stage and did a lot of the static typography. I had a lot of fun making it, it was honored to be asked to help. I can also tell you that this is NOT DLC or official/canon. There’s so much more to come, you have no idea what you’re in for!

#bendy and the dark revival #batdr #batdr spoilers #bendy and the dark revival spoilers #bendy community event #batdr voice cast #I've never felt so conniving in my entire life #over here giggling like a gremlin as I continue to work on this #seriously though I really hope you love this #we've been working so hard to make this awesome #and I hope you're all blown away #there's SO MUCH TALENT on display here!

It's this time of the year again! This was a very good year for me, I learned so much and honestly drawing became fun for me again after a period when I felt kind of tired of my style - maybe the lesson here is that it eventually gets better. Here's the source of this great template Also here are the previous years for comparison: 2021 2022

#I like how colorful my art is becoming #like yeah my screen is still set wrong and it displays things less red than they really are #but I feel like I branched out into not just red and purple shading and lighting #and I feel very proud! #Also it's extremely funny to me that I'm posting this as I'm working on perhaps the most background heavy piece I've ever drawn #I'm probably gonna finish it tomorrow or the day after so it's january #you call it cheating I call it great planing #also another interesting thing #the decemeber piece for this year is the redraw of the piece I chose for 2021's february #it's like a circle of life or I guess my art #7 out of 12 are drawing of my ocs so it's also the year of my ocs! #art #art summary #year summary #cinnamon's doodles

I'm not sure why my baby sister (who is 12 which means she's actually only 8) knowing things related to my hyperfixations that she's TOO YOUNG FOR perfectly in the age range to know about deals me so much psychic damage. But just when I thought i'd recovered from her watching bnha (it's FINE young teens are literally the target audience for shounen this is normal-) she looks at me today and goes "Hey. You ever heard of heaven's offical blessing?"

Me, having 50 different crises at the same time: uhh yeah i've read some other stuff by the same author. Why?

Her: oh no reason

Me: do NOT read mdzs do not do it you are a BABY and also if you do that I will die do NOT uhuh

Her: my classmate said books 1 and 3 are fine but 2 and 4 are super sad.

Me: oh interesting! gottagobye!

and then I ran to my room like a coward.

#i have thought my baby sister was 8 years old since she turned 10. before that she was 6 #this is how older sibling math works trust me #heaven's official blessing #tgcf #hey tgcf fans pls verify that for me. are books 2 and 4 like wayyy sadder than the others? #my baby sister and i's media taste ARE allowed to overlap! in media that i have never wanted to write fanfiction about #i love loads of art i do not display on my ao3. fandom is a very specific way of engaging with the source material to me #and ALL I ASK. IS THAT NO ONE IN MY REAL LIFE ESPECIALLY NOT SOMENE WAY YOUNGER THAN ME. KNOWS ABOUT THOSE SPECIFIC THINGS #i'm exaggerating if i want that i should start joining smaller fandoms but I JUST THINK-

#this is an old photo but I do still love it obviously #the skull was a…gift? I guess? #when I worked in an art supply store and we did inventory this skull was the display model for a drawing model we sold #it was a little damaged from being knocked around on the sales floor so it was destined for the trash #I grabbed it and my manager just rolled his eyes and said ‘yeah #you WOULD be the type to steal a skull #he was cool with it though #so yeah that’s how I got my skull #he’s moved with me several times #anyway #Valentine’s Day #still life #skull #flowers #roses #mine #my photos

What the poets are like drunk.

Neil. - He is an emotional drunk. Neil will be a few drinks in and just start sobbing about how much he loves his friends.

Charlie. - He's the type of guy to stand on tables, say really unfunny jokes, and have absolutely no voice modulation. He gets kicked out of bars a lot more than you think.

Todd. - Todd loses any sort of shyness or filter when he's wasted. He'll just sharing his brutally honest opinions about people. "Y'know. You guys are really annoying. Like I like you guys but you don't know when to shut up."

Pitts. - He literally doesn't act any differant. There is no visible change from drunk Pitts to sober Pitts.

Meeks. - He gets really excited about things and then he sleeps like a rock. Like he'll try and invent a shrink ray or something and then he'll pass out almost out of nowhere and have to be carried home.

Knox. - Poor Knox is an idiot when he's drunk. He commonly falls down flights of stairs, he has terrible attempts at flirting, and he spills stuff all over himself because he can't hold a fork properly.

My adhd hyperfocus has me doin all sorts of fucking reorganizing and cleaning today like i’ve completely stripped my bed and am washing everything as well as reorganizing my manga shelves to make more room for more manga (i basically doubled the space i had and also as you can see one piece has its own special section due to length) and im contemplating rereading/rewatching my hero academia since i cant bring myself to get rid of the volumes or figures.)

I also might deep clean the rest of my room but i have to be up in the morning to go to school so- idk if I’ll do that tonight.

Idk where ANY of this energy came from but it sure as hell is here.
