first post here 🤪

i’ll probably post on ao3 once i’ve got more written.

There’s something wrong.

They can tell as soon as they wake up.

The blanket over them is too thick, thicker than any that they own and musty with disuse. They open their eyes slowly, taking stock of their surroundings. There is a coffee table in front of them. (Are they on a couch?) The table is clean, except for several stains, tea maybe? Or coffee? Their eyes flick up and they jump back, shoving into the back of the couch.

“AHhhh” Whoever is in front of them also jumps back a bit, tripping on the coffee table, and stumbling to catch his balance. “Ah, um, sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I-I’m Jon.”

“Right, and where am I?”

“Uh, the breakroom? The Archives breakroom? In the Magnus Institute, that is. I, uh, I was leaving for the day, and I saw you in here?” Right- Gerry remembers, now. Gertrude had them hunting down a Leitner. Except it hadn’t just been a Leitner, whoever came across it had it for too long, and had fully Become by then. It was so far gone that it’d begun growing patchy fur, and its ears were sharp. Gerry’d spent hours running through London, weaving through alleyways until they'd finally gotten a jump on it. Gertrude demanded an update, and as soon as they finished, they crashed on the break room couch.

“And who are you?”

“Right, Gerard, they/them for now. I… freelance, for Gertrude.” Gerry popped their neck, and watched Jon. Instead of the usual confusion that they’d come to expect from the stuffy academic types that seemed drawn to the Magnus Institute, Jon just nodded and stuck out his hand.

“Jonathan Sims, he/they. Just call me Jon, though.” Gerry smirked in amusement.

“Well Jon, nice to meet you, but I doubt I’ll be seeing you with enough frequency to call you anything.” Jon sputters a bit, and grows red in the face (In a way that is totally not cute, shut up brain) and occurs to Gerry that maybe that was a bit rude. “Sorry, I didn’t mean anything by that. I just don't tend to stick around the Institute longer than I have to.”

Jon just raises an eyebrow and looks at Gerry's current tangled-in-a-blanket state. Now it’s Gerry’s turn to blush.

“Well, usually. In my defense, it’s been a long bloody day, and I needed to crash.” Jon looks curious at that, but decides not to ask. A wise decision- Jon would get no answers from them. “Anyway, I better be off.”

Gerry gets up and pulls on their jacket, but pauses when they see the clock.

“Wait, why are you just leaving? It’s like 7:00? And what are you doing in the archives? Nobody ever really comes down here.”

“You’re down here.” Ah so Jon’s a prickly one. Gerry just gives him a Look, and Jon blushes again.

“Mr. Bouchard told me that I’m transferring to the Archives tomorrow, as an assistant. And that was at 5:00, and then I tried to finish up my work so no one in research would be stuck with what I didn’t get done. Then I was about to leave and realized I should probably go meet my new boss… So then I came down here and Gertrude just glared at me a bit before stomping off upstairs. I waited around for a bit, because I thought it might be rude if she came back down like only a few minutes later and I was already gone? But it doesn’t seem like she’s coming back anytime soon. And then I, ah saw you in here? And I didn’t think anybody else was down here, um, ever? So I just came in to look, and now we’re… here?”

Okay, so the rambling is a bit cute, and Gerry has half a mind to be amused, but there are more pressing concerns.

“Sorry, did you just say you’re going to be an archival assistant?”

“Um, yes?”

“Have you signed any papers yet?” Gerry’s properly concerned now, and Jon seems to be getting agitated.

“Yes? I signed the transfer papers?”

“Damn, Gertrude’s not going to be happy with that.”

“Excuse you, what’s that supposed to mean?”

“Oh Gertrude has been absolutely refusing to get new assistants for years. I would have thought Elias would have wanted to avoid pissing her off. No wonder she hasn’t been back yet. She’s probably ripping him a new one” Jon visibly bristles.

“Well excuse me, but I hardly see how having an assistant would be a bad thing. I mean, if the state of this place is anything to go by, then she certainly needs one.”

“Oh try telling her that. Or don’t,” Gerry gives a cynical snort, “she’s going to be right pissed no matter what anyone says.”

“Whatever,” Jon scoffs, “Too late now. She’ll either have to deal with me or take it up with Mr. Bouchard.”

“Oh I imagine she is.”

It isn’t until Jon is storming away, and stomping up the stairs that Gerry realizes that they were probably being rude.

“Well Shit”

Can anyone tell me where this is from?? pls pls

#I’ve been searching FOR OVER AN HOUR #I searched through Pinterest tumblr and google and I’m stumped #I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen it before so I need to go through the comic because how dare I not go through a Jason comic #Suddenly a Jason panel appears and I must know where it’s from #so yeah pls help thank you #I’m going to be annoyed if it’s from an old comic that I just don’t remember #Also #Jason looks so tiny here #Like he’s just a child in a red hood costume #The guy asking to watch tv with red hood lmao #real tbh #jason todd #red hood #batfamily #dc #batfam #dc comics #comic panels

hey um. u sure make a lot of art about lesbians for a man. you're normal about us, right? ;;

What? Yeah, I’m normal about y’all.

#I understand the suspicion and where you’re coming from I really do but strange thing to ask an artist tbh #ill say this. I try to be cognizant of my positionality as a queer man who enjoys sapphic ships and am constantly checking myself to make #sure my art doesn’t go into territories I don’t feel comfortable with. thereve been times I’ve second guessed myself while drawing rarijack #and thought “Is this too much?’’ and I have to check with my partner who is sapphic. #but also I’m a queer artist who likes drawing queer love. if my content makes you uncomfortable I’d be happy to start a dialogue about it #but there’s a reason why I’ve not drawn women kissing or being explicitly intimate. #anyways my art and thoughts about gay men are not so normal because I like cock so do what you will with that info #ask me #anon

One of the main reasons why I used to avoid Isekai’s, and fantasy works in general, like the plague is because of how over saturated they’d become with things that didn’t feel like they even belonged to the genre to begin with… it’s not too hard to find works that stand out but so much of those works have been pushed down and forgotten, it just sucks.

#one of the many reasons why fantasy in general outside of a few things has never stuck with me or have even been a go to genre to engage #with if it was simply just that and nothing else added to subvert the genres 🧍🏾‍♀️ #at least enough for me to enjoy myself… and I’m an insanely picky person too so… #isekai’s really did get turned into incel shit and sm of them are pedo/incest pandering as well #the amount of times I’ve run into an isekai where the warrior ends up marrying his daughter at the end of the series- #never got over that one where the son was falling in love with his mom bro that series could’ve been so fun #and a lot of the scenes with them would have them almost appearing as though they were a couple… the Romantic scene on the beach 💩… #kms rn- #and sm fantasty stuff is full of assault as well because they want to be like berserk so badly uhhh #it’s kinda crazy #rambling #I’m mostly desensitized to a lot of this stuff in fiction depending on how they’re presented but I usual usually scroll by/read the things #as quickly as possible just to get done with it #I don’t rly skip most things tbh :( #DM is refreshing though it’s very charming and colorful #I don’t have much to say for frieren since I never really cared to get into it but I’m sure it’s endearing for most

What if Danny was always a halfa? Idk why, maybe Maddie was careful when she was pregnant with Jazz because that was the first time but the second time she got pregnant, she got a little more lax with the lab safety and Danny was contaminated in-utero. Or maybe he was stillborn or born sickly and Jack and Maddie experimented on him to bring him back because they couldn’t handle the grief of losing their newborn. But what if he was more or less born half-dead?

What if his powers manifested very slowly, starting with glowing eyes and floating, and his parents knew all along, but they also knew why because they were responsible for it, so they didn’t say anything and treated Danny like he was normal? Maybe the first time he transforms happens when he’s just barely old enough to understand that he’s not normal, that most kids don’t have these powers, he thinks his parents don’t know and he has to deal with it alone. Maybe this is reinforced by the fact that his parents lie to hide it from Jazz because they think it might upset her to know her brother was their science experiment.

What if the portal didn’t give him his powers, maybe he was born half dead, maybe the only thing the portal did was forcibly out him to his friends and overload him with ectoplasm so he couldn’t control his powers as well for a couple of weeks.

apologies for infrequent art btw i’ve had stuff going on but here’s a tummy study i was working on the other day :D

#slinky’s sketches #surprisingly hard to find refs of people twisting like this and NOT covering their torso w their arms etc #so i ended up sitting in front a mirror shirtless to fill in the gaps lol #like that one small fold near the hip bone #barely refrained from also giving it scars to go fully self indulgent #anyways expect more regular schedule in uh. like a week and a half #torsos are one of my favorite parts of the body to draw tbh. unfortunate it’s so hard to find reference where the model ISNT flexing #like cmon guys. not here to see your washboard abs i’m here to see the human form. chill #not sure if i should tag this as anything it’s p tame #tell me if u want me to :]

i’m a generally happy person, so why is it that the only music i listen to now is a sub-genre i like to called “Conan Gray breaking my fragile heart for an hour straight”

#for those of you who saw my last post #i am not dying #yet #it’s just my sinuses tbh #but it’s a bitch #anyways #the whole trip to where i am now was spent listening to conan gray entire discography #and i’m not sure yet but i think winner has just come out since it’s past midnight #so i’m gonna go see if i’m right #conan gray #conan gray gives me life #i’m tired

[akkivee]

presumably the climax of rhyme anima➕ is that underground rap tournament mentioned in the trailer so i hope we get more focus on hypnosis abilities this time around now that they’re more fleshed out lol

#this is vee speaking #i cannot express enough how funny it is hypmic has gotten this far with its development hell lmao #waaaay in the beginning only jakurai’s ability was revealed and based off s1 they knew what the og leaders’ were #but it’s so funny those early notes seemed to have included that abilities needed to be unlocked and what doppo’s was lol #but now!!!!!!! n o w!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! surely we can see all their abilities in action!!!!!!! #hifumi’s melty roses!!!!!! rio’s shield!!!!! jakurai’s rap had all the tentacles but lets get kuukou’s dragon on that LOL!!!!!!! #i’m so curious how this all comes together lol like tbh is beefing specifically with the og groups????? #but if the tbh truck is what’s causing the civilians to start acting up then that means it’s driven thru osaka and nagoya #so what’s their plans there????? #pls be battle anthem order pls be battle anthem order idc if it makes more sense for fp to be next pls let bat star next episode lol 🙏 #and even chuuoku has ‘stakes’ as in they don’t know wtf is going on either #but one of their ranks likely caused the trigger which means they need to be involved in some way too 🤔🤔🤔 #what does it all mean lmao where is it all going lol

woaw that’s so cool you made mgs3 except now I can see the dirt particles!!! anything else? no?

#hope I’m wrong n they pull a fast one and it’s an alternate story or something (even though they’re saying it’s not) #like you just released the hd collection literally all delta has going for it is that it looks nice #except now it’s gonna be a much bigger game file size wise bc it’s a 4k unreal game #and it’s probably gonna sell for the same amount as the hd collection #(<- which makes since they did rebuild the game from the ground up in unreal) #idk I think if you’re gonna remake anything make it mg2ss so it’s bareable. 4 me :3 #<- went to double check myself to make sure there wasn’t a twin snakes situation where the title makes it seem like it is it’s own thing #“if they remade the mg games it would need a whole ass overhaul” yeas that’s the poiintt who tf would buy a game they just bought but #the graphics are nicer most people can’t even run it that well <- I hope setting the graphic settings to poor just makes it og mgs3 that wo #be soo funny #I just think there’s more fruitful endevaours I’m just being a hater tbh
