some tragic love stories be like: if i could bottle the galaxy, i would pour it into a cup so it would be easier for you to drink. do you want them? do you want the stars? or do they suit you better as adornments for your eyes than glitter on your lips?

but they don’t want the stars. they don’t want the galaxy. but how can they not? is that not enough? (it’s too much, that’s the problem. it’s too much.)

i’ve made it my personal mission whenever i reblog something to be as annoyingly long-winded about whatever i loved about it as possible, on the basis that… i like it when people do that. and also i am physically incapable of shutting up once i get on a tangent and i like art details. whoops.

#ney’s idle chatter (random textposts) #er… apologies to all the people who get like a full paragraph in their tags #or maybe not? i love it when people do that but hey to each their own #reblogs are the lifeblood of this platform and long tags are my favorite thing in the world #yes i’ll go ridiculously in depth about the most minor details of your art it is a day that ends in y after all

not to sound incredibly biased as someone who throughly and shamelessly enjoys media that involves the person interacting with it (choose your own adventure, video games with meta elements, interactive comics, etc) but i think self inserts involving popular media are great, actually. is there no greater sense of love than wanting to make it a part of your life? finding comfort in the characters, the world, the lore? draw yourself hugging your favorite character, write about them handing you a flower. take a nap with your fictional friend. make your oc just you with a fun cape or a cool outfit and superpowers, life is short.

as long as you aren't preventing other people from enjoying it or stealing someone else's oc, go in peace and find what makes you happy.

#now excuse me while i go draw my sona carrying narry like a very grumpy cat #ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #people say cringe culture is dead and i approve that message #what harm is there in living peacefully and enjoying media that makes you happy in a way that makes you happiest? #self shippers can live well. people who ship nothing can live well. coexistence is a good thing #i don't ship for shit but i'll still attend your fictional wedding #lemme at that refreshments table i want to snag the little cakes and tarts

i did not put finding a version of the phantom from the phantom of the opera so endearing it almost gave me heart palpitations on my 2023 bingo card but. here we are. i guess. damn.

#it's the 1990 miniseries version if anyone is curious #HOLY SHIT he's so??? nice?? and he cracks so many jokes #then again the bar is. quite low #but. my god #ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #no version of the phantom is immune to tragedy and this is not an exception but also he is hilarious #and maybe a little... unhinged #just a bit #comparatively #poto 1990 #cherik #which is his nickname/moniker #‘you’re magic too i think’ HELLO?? #anyway not at all a christine hater but man. the ending of that scene. hurted

my brain rebels against me by shoving several incongruous fandoms into my face repeatedly with zero breathing room. and then looping them before i can actually draw anything.

awww iswm... i should... oh, tsp? nice, comfort zone... dp? sick, haven't seen danny phantom in a while. nice change of—disco elysium? sure! man that game was packed and—rdr2? oh. neat! didn't think that one would—undertale?? is it a video game thing, or—PHANTOM OF??? THE OPERA??? WHAT???

oh hey btw: uh. in reference to the sexyman poll my narry got entered in, if he wins i'll put him in a sleeveless turtleneck if that sweetens the pot any! because why not right?

not that i'm actually capable of picking a favorite hadestown song, but if i ever stop playing "Our Lady Of The Underground" when i need a pick me up, i'm dead and somebody should organize a space funeral.

really, really thinking about that moment in the live album when orpheus sings “persephone, in her mother’s garden… the sun on her shoulders, the wind in her hair…”

and the music swells with the melody and the memory, the weight of it, the feeling slamming right into your chest like a gust of wind that carries springtime with it. the memory of love, the feeling of it taking shape again.

#ney’s idle chatter (random textposts) #hadestown #i am not remotely normal about this musical i am so sorry #and by that i mean i am. barely apologetic #orz it’s so good genuinely i don’t even know how to express my Emotions okay #every version of it rips me apart #green live album will always have a piece of me though. too many memories there to ever let it go.

oh my god does vlad's plasmius ghost suit look like that because he subconsciously (or purposefully) was copying jack and maddie's suits. is that what it is. IS THAT WHAT IT—

#ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #fellas you ever divert years of abandonment issues and insecurity you craft into rage into an echo of what you believe to be taken from you #fellas do you ever spend your otherwise objectively wildly successful life ruminating on the past #i'm absolutely positive this has been pointed out before but. my brain is slow okay #cap'n's not doing so hot leave me to my madness orz #vlady (vladdie?) dear we know you didn't die in that goddamn suit did you do this on purpose #DID YOU #*shaking him aggressively by the shoulders*

gotta admit half of why i want to try this trend is to find out what characters you all immediately associate my blog with :P

and to doodle in the margins lol

#ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #captain's contests (interactive games) #character opinion bingo #also leaving blank template here bc it can be a doozy to find lol #i was gonna do the ship opinion bingo one but #i would just have so much less to say. almost all of them would boil down to ‘i can see why people like it and i’m glad they’re having fun’ #but that's not super entertaining lol #GAH i got a lot of these now i gotta actually fill them out ahshcjajkd

[braisedhoney]

coming back soon. got some new hive stuff for you—a little more canon lore and some new faces i think you'll like.

whatever festivities you observe (or even if you don't observe any), i hope you have a lovely winter season. even if it's in small ways, i hope you have a moment when you feel comfortable.

#ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #no extra strings or specific holidays #i enjoy winter. i'm tired and the season can be a lot #but i enjoy winter and i hope you do too

okay hear me out.

“i would die for you” but in a i would sacrifice my next quiet sunrise for you kind of way. in a i would easily trade my next glass of refreshingly crisp cold water for you kind of way. in a i would take the blanket from my shoulders on a humid but cold night and wrap it around you while you sleep instead kind of way. in a i would sacrifice the first moment i spent looking up at the night sky away from light pollution and give it to you instead kind of way.

“i would die for you not because my life has no value, but because to me, yours has so much value that it is worthy of that and more”. that kind of way.

idk if that’s my favorite character dynamic (i am a sucker for angst) but it’s up there. somewhere.

#ney’s idle chatter (random textposts) #thinking about stories ig? half formed ideas #and also nursing a headache #i am. very tired #i like angsty dynamic as much as the next guy i promise you #but this one is also good i think #i don’t know i’ll delete this later once my headache is gone lol

every time my undertale fixation pops up again, i wonder the same exact thing: what color would my soul be? and i never have an answer lol.

it's been eight seven, almost eight years. good god.

#ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #i genuinely just have never known. i even took those old soul quizzes on quiz sites as a kid but the results would change #and even then it never felt like it fit #WHICH IS SILLY because it's not at all that serious and picking an inaccurate one for The Aesthetic wouldn't be permanent #but idk. part of me wishes i could pick one and stick with it #in the spirit of undertale y'know
