vince and laurinaitis being monsters and rapists isn't news to anyone but when you get the details to it and you realize just how many people must have also been part of it or at the very least known about it and turned a blind eye, it's just. so depressing and horrifying to think about. we always talk about how this business is fucked and very few people in it are clean but it's still so fucking shocking when you get concrete evidence of just how deeply vile the culture in this business still is

#like the thing about multiple stars being involved and execs doing a sham investigation and the fucking tech guys text message #god it's the whole fucking company #it's so awful to think about how many people over DECADES have gone through something like this #text post

I really love your take on Lamb's follower spouse. Usually, other artists' spouses have beef with Narinder lol

So this is pretty refreshing and it balances out Lamb's relationship with Narinder. It's nice to see a follower having to soften Narinder instead.

thanks in my world everyone has beef with narinder cause it's such a huge prick with basically 0 morals except for the lamb and shams

shams actually likes narinder way more than the lamb does cause narinder always does something insane that pisses off the lamb (like murder ratau) but doesn't bother shams as much since it just didn't care about her until she started interacting with it

now she just kind of messes around with narinder which bothers it a lot while also making sure it doesn't do anything crazy

#last one is based off when i tried to kill a baby in the game cause it was pooping everywhere and discovered that wasn't an option #sorry for not posting a lot guyss im art blocked guyysss sorry guysss so sorry guysss #art #fanart #drawing #sketch #cult of the lamb #cotl #cotl narinder #shams is technically an oc i think #but i dont want fanart in my oc tags 😀 #if it's not obvious what narinder is holding its a flower crown

Why are y’all surprised that borderline capitalists and liberals like Hobie when they hate leftists, especially black leftists, irl 💀

Real people saying these things make them think and feel guilty, when a real person says we cannot thrive or make significant change by utilizing systems stacked against said change, they have to think about their own lifestyles and ideals. When a real person says violence is the answer and money needs to become meaningless, all they think is “but I could get hurt or in trouble” and “but I’ll never be rich”.

When Hobie says it it’s just a character being entertaining. There’s a bit of truth but you don’t take it seriously because you don’t have to. It’s the same way they’re fine with saying ACAB posts and reading books on anti-racism but can’t muster up the courage to tell their friend to stop saying the n word. It’s all cute till it’s you irl, so ppl who know leftists irl and don’t like them will love hobie. It feels like KNOWING Hobie maybe kinda sorta has a point is enough to negate the idea that their complicity in these systems irl is actually harmful.

It’s like that thing where ppl do bad things and think knowing it’s bad is the same as being apologetic and changing or deserving forgiveness.

Like in conclusion, it’s easy to like Hobie when you’re not face to face with someone like him and you’re not expected to do any work. It’s the same thing as yt ppl liking the Medea movies. God forbid a black person is actually loud in public but it’s fine when they’re doing their little jigs just for you.

#me personally #i cant be friends with people who aren’t far far left #and thats not saying we can’t have diff end game opinions or whatever #and this post isn’t to say I don’t like hobie #y’all know damn well I like hobie #this is to say it’s very obvious that y’all don’t actually like hobie #at least not for who he is a character #i just think he is succeeding at his narrative role #y’all like hobie the way the other spider ppl prolly like hobie #hes chill and says quirky stuff about cops and capitalism but not enough to actually be a problem #hobie actively helping miles at the end to the other spider people is what leftists actually believing what they preach is to y’all #It’s cute till it bothers you #and then the whole thing is a sham and doesn’t matter #whatever tho I don’t think I’m articulating well

The Sham | Origins Ch■

In the midst of what happened after the events of skybound, here's the link to the first part.

Caught off guard by Jay's threat, fighting soon erupted among the Ninja, while others defended themselves. It was evident that one of them sought to kill.

Aftermath.

Video evidence alleges that the Kremlin has distributed special pens with ink that disappears for use in the weekend’s presidential elections, enabling Putin’s United Russia operatives to change votes to those endorsed by Moscow, independent sources reported.

The independent Russian news site Sirena was told by sources in Kursk and Rostov-on-Don who were setting up polling stations ready for the start of today’s presidential election that they were provided with pens to place in polling booths that “contain a secret.” The pens arrived in boxes sealed with the official emblem of Russia’s Central Election Commission.

The sources provided video evidence of how the ink from the pens could be made to disappear which Sirena posted on its Telegram channel. The ink used to mark the voters ballot paper seems normal but can be made to disappear when it is heated.

Blank ballot papers are considered invalid, but by erasing the original selection this would allow commission members to select a candidate of their choice after the polling station is closed – with no prizes for guessing for who that might be.

This is not the first time that this tactic has been noticed.

saw triple h's terrible fucking response to jon alba again. i cannot stress enough how bad it is that cody, a wrestler who wasn't even in the company when the horrible shit described in that lawsuit happened and who, as far as we know, has no office job with the company, had a better and more well prepared answer than the fucking head of creative who was a board member of the company and is also vince's son in law

#that's not even to make a big deal of cody having a decent answer bc that's like a very low bar to clear lmao #but it just shows you how much the people in charge believe they're getting away from this scott free as long as vince isn't there anymore #regardless of the fact triple h is mentioned in the lawsuit as someone who knew what what happening and did nothing #and the fact that the entire board is accused of having done a sham investigation #wwe #text post

Warning to all Tumblr friends

There's a new blog on here, @scrumptiousinternetyouth going around messaging me, a bunch of my friends, and many others asking if we want commissions. The only reason why I noticed this specific blog as suspicious is because they messaged mere SECONDS after I liked a photo they posted.

Turns out they've been soliciting and when asked about their work they've shared so much art of completely different styles, it became plainly clear what they were doing.

Here are the sources of the art they're using on their blog.

SIY's comm price list = vs = the original artist's self portrait: @soyochiiii [art link]

NFT art from KPRVerse - a metaverse building crytpo game

Alex Guenther's "Wakanda's Guardian"

this one was hard to find the artist for because there are so few posts. Here's a post from hiatus on twitter earlier this month, and one from @lazytama here on tumblr [original post deleted, link goes to @chibigohan] from March 2019

This blog was created less than a month ago and they're already up to no good. This is not what Tumblr is about.

#warning #art scam #stolen art #art scam alert #scam alert #buyer beware #kindly reblog and tag if you know the artist #not sure if I should be impressed with the gochi signal boost reblog having 'shill art' in its tags or not #a shill is 'person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating'. to bait to lure or to deceive #basically admitting to being an accomplice to the sham #very clever #shill art #indeed #the last photo with goku and chichi was a reblog comment on their first post last month promoting their commissions #that post was just deleted earlier #signal boost #scrumptiousinternetyouth #artists on tumblr #tumblr artists

Logan and Max have another talk, or 'does kissing count as free therapy?' Part 2 of whatever this was. I couldn't fall asleep last night because of how hard I kept thinking about these two. I blame @girlsdads for giving me the brainrot in the first place.

cw: the tiniest bit of implied sexual content

It's another bad race. Fucking 16th, only ahead of the two Saubers, and of the Haas and Alpine that had crashed each other out. There was no reason why his pit stop had to be 4.3 seconds, when Alex's had been 2.7, no reason why he had been fucked over by not one but two undercuts because of shitty strategy, no reason why Alex's side of the garage had to be celebrating 8th place while his was sullen and quiet.

Logan fears he's going to throw up when he steps in and James claps him on the shoulder, saying sorry, next time, as if Logan doesn't know his contract is on the line. Fucking. Next time?!

Logan feels like he's trying to swim with his hands tied behind his back, desperately trying to make it to shore. Nobody cares he's drowning.

He can barely look up during the debrief, feels like he's choking the whole time on the words nobody is saying. As soon as he's free, he escapes, fumbling for his phone as usual. Only this time, he doesn't call his mom.

Are you free?

Max has his motorhome this weekend, and Logan doesn't wait for an answer before heading over. If he doesn't answer, he'll just take a walk.

Yes come over

He's knocking on Max's door before he can rethink it, before all these feelings catch up on him and he decides he's going to break down alone instead. When Max opens his door, Logan immediately regrets it. He's wearing a black t-shirt, hair styled, looking ready to go out. Of course he's heading out, he has a win to celebrate. Unlike Logan. Who should have just gone home.

He opens his mouth, ready to apologize and turn around, when Max's hand closes on his shoulder, his mouth downturned with what would be worry, if it wasn't absurd for Max Verstappen to be worried about him.

"Come in," Max says, doesn't leave space for arguments when he pulls Logan inside, closing the door behind him.

For a long moment they just look at each other, as Logan's waves lap at his neck. He doesn't know why he's here anymore.

"Are you okay?" Max's hand is still on his shoulder. Logan feels like he'll keel over if he takes it back.

"I might be out of a seat."

It's not an answer to Max's question, it's not even what Logan meant to say, it's not something he should be telling to the competition, but really. Logan is barely Max's competition at all, and who wouldn't know that after this season's disaster? Nobody is counting on him to race next year.

He waits for Max to say something, even if it's just empty platitudes, but the other just squeezes his shoulder and nods, and suddenly it's much harder to hold back his tears.

"I just..." he breathes in, willing his voice to not crack, "I don't know what I am doing wrong."

It comes out more desperate than he meant it to, but he's just so tired and upset, and nobody is seeing him drown. Why is nobody paying attention?

"You have a shit car, get bad strategy calls, and have a teammate with years more of experience. You are not the one doing it wrong."

Max says it so matter of fact, as if he's the one driving the shit car, the one with the better teammate, the one having to fight through the back of the field with no success, and suddenly Logan is angry. He shrugs Max's hand away, fists clenching. What does Max know about being the second driver in a bad team? How dares he say he knows Logan's hunger?

"Fuck off," he spits, wrapping his arms around himself to hide the way his hands are trembling. He shouldn't have come.

"You have potential, you are not doing it wrong," Max says again, stubborn and bull-headed as always, jaw set and eyes clear. Logan's anger spikes again. Max Verstappen, the prodigy child, talking to him about wasted potential? This must be a joke. He scoffs, ready to turn around and leave, but Max grabs him again, gets a hold on his elbow and keeps him where he is.

"Why are you angry?" he asks. And yeah, this must be a joke, for sure. Why is Logan angry? Why is he angry?!

"You don't get to..." he starts, but Max interrupts him, squeezing his elbow.

"No. Why are you angry?"

"The team..."

Max takes a step closer, narrowing his eyes.

"Not the team, I do not care about the team. Why are you angry?"

As if there was a right answer to the question that Logan isn't getting! It's his own anger! And Max doesn't care about the team? Of course he doesn't, it's not his team fucking up! Why can't Logan be angry about the team?!

"Alex gets..."

"No. Why are you angry?" Max interrupts again, steadfast in a way that grates on Logan's nerves.

They're too close now, and for a second Logan entertains the idea of punching three times world Champion Max Verstappen. Anger burns in his chest, and suddenly, without knowing who closed the gap, they're kissing. It's not a nice kiss, all teeth and spit, and it almost feels the same as the punch he hasn't thrown, until Max moves his hand from his elbow to his waist, the other one coming up to cup the back of his neck, turning his head slightly. Gentling him.

His anger is back in his lungs, but it's no longer anger, it's back to salt water, and Logan is drowning again. He breaks the kiss, gasping, but Max doesn't let him go.

Logan doesn't remember the last time someone held him like this, like being here matters.

"Why are you angry?" Max asks again, breath soft against Logan's bitten lips. He smells vaguely like minty toothpaste.

"Because..." he hesitates, but at this point he might as feel say fuck it, and give it all. All his fleshy insides in Max's hands, bleeding on the floor between them. "Because I could do better, but I can't do it like this."

This time Max nods. "You could do better."

And Logan knows his parents and friends have said it before, have kept saying it for years. Knows his time in Formula 2 speaks for itself. But it's different, to have Max say it like that, so surely. It's a different kind of validation, and a different kind of heartbreak, because they both know his time to prove it is running out. It's hard to breathe again.

"It is good to be angry. It makes you want to take it," Max says, maybe mistaking the way his breathing has gone funny. But Logan doesn't feel angry anymore. He's tired, and scared, and lonely. He drops his head on Max's shoulder, who moves to card his fingers in his hair, bearing his weight with ease. Logan wishes anything would come easy to him instead.

"I don't know how to be angry," Logan confesses. He doesn't want to say it, doesn't want to disappoint Max, but he disappoints better than he lies anyway. What's one more person.

"That is of course still okay," Max says, instead of some sort of rebuke Logan is expecting. For a second, he thinks about the stories of Max's childhood, of angry men and steel hands. Max's fingers are gentle in his hair.

"What do you want right now?"

It's too big of a question. Logan wants his seat to be safe, he wants to end in the points, he wants a good car, he wants to not feel so distant from everyone else, he wants to go home. He wants someone to tell him it will be alright and mean it.

He shakes his head, forehead dragging against Max's t-shirt. Disappointing again.

Max holds his hair a little tighter, uses the grip to pull Logan up, to make him open his eyes.

"What do you need?"

And it's the same, but it is different, and Logan needs...he needs...

"You can take it. What you need." Max sounds so sure of it, Logan can almost believe it. Maybe Logan doesn't know how to take, doesn't know how to fix it, but here, now, he at least knows what he needs.

"I need to be better," he says, words bleeding out from his split-open chest. "I need to be good."

They both know what Logan means, because the thing with Max is, that it's always about racing, even when it isn't, and it is also always both at the same time.

Max nods, letting go of his hair, and Logan pushes him around, back against the door. Gentle, because he needs to be, but firm, because he wants this.

He eases himself to his knees, and feels Max's hand cup his cheek. His raspy voice isn't disappointed, or pitying, or even sad when he speaks, only fond. A little proud.

"Good boy."

Late to the news but yeeeeeesssss, new Masterworks book!!!

Unfortunately this does mean that the TotK horror/self indulgent rehaul fic that I started planning quite literally 8 days ago, is not going to be started (as in start writing, I'll keep working on planning) until the book is out (and translated).

Because there are parts of TotK that I desperately want to see the concept art or developmental lore was like before added to the game and that will definitely affect some of the content I'll be exploring in the fic (The tunnels below Hyrule Castle and Gloom hands concept art like the creepy concept guardians, pleeease!)

I might post some of the current planning such as all the new enemies I'll be adding to the rehaul fic (Original enemies, new variants of existing monsters, adding monsters/bosses from previous games, new combined enemies like battle Talus, and all respective drops), or all the new dungeons (what they look like, the quest to get in, enemies and puzzles inside, available loot, etc.), New settlements, expanded settlements, new armour (were is our Zonai Survey Team outfit? Or a full Cece mushroom outfit?), new weapons and returning weapons that weren't added to TotK (can you imagine how fun a dazzling bomb arrow would be? Or a Naydra horn flame greatsword?), new non enemy creatures/items/loot.

Anyway, I've got some LU fics I can get started on in the meantime instead!

I just recently tumbled on your blog and I love your art and The Sham, I have a question, is there going to be Jay x Nya angst and if there is, how gut wrenching?

Yes. There will definitely be Jay x Nya angst, and your question actually got me quite ecstatic since I'm currently working on angst for them right now and will post em soon.

With how gut-wrenching it is, I'd say that the Jaya ship would be a very slow-burn one, especially with both of their traumas of having hurt one another, one of them almost being a reminder of the other’s tormentor, the guilt of being forced to hurt one another repeatedly, and the paranoia.

Here's a sneak peak of what I'm working on
