#shit i actually might do that just cause

OKAY! Chatot rant in tags below! Read at your own discretion.

#okay starting from the beginning of where ppl usually dislike him. apple woods chapter. #he doesn’t give hero/partner the CHANCE to explain themselves despite them being relatively good recruits up until that point. #and that legit might be my only gripe with that chapter bc!!! stories need conflict! I LIKE the conflict in apple woods!!! #hero and partner being punished so something they didn’t do! #the misunderstanding! how team skull (Skuntank) actually outplays the main duo with a clever yet rotten trick. I LOVE that it segways into- #one of the more sweeter scenes of guild members looking out for eachother. I LIKE APPLE WOODS CONFLICT. #but chatot just. not giving them a chance. is so dumb. #I’d personally fix this by having a lil montage of hero/partner fucking up on jobs. A LOT. and chatot giving them a pass every time. #and let the perfect apple incident BE the one where he puts his foot down and doesn’t listen to them. bc he’d given them loads of chances. #and doesn’t want to hear any excuse. #but yeah. I legit dont mind him during that chapter except for that really stupid and frustrating moment. #NOW. CHAPTER 17. #UGGGGHHH WHERE DO I BEGIN #Him not believing hero and Partner about Grovyle and the future being in ruin? FINE. ACTUALLY GOOD. BC CHATOT WOULD BE SKEPTIC. #IT FITS HIS CHARACTER!! #BUT WHAT DOES SUCK. IS HIM GOING ‘Dusknoir isn’t the bad guy. he didn’t do anything wrong’ #WHEN HE LITERALLY KIDNAPPED HERO AND PARTNER RIGHT I N F R O N T OF HIM. #(​NO LITERALLY. HIS CHARACTER IS IN THE FRONT ROW WHEN IT HAPPENED.) #and him. having the GALL to tell hero and partner they must’ve been ‘seeing things’ and downplaying the HELL they went through. #despite them being missing for hours/days. his own guild recruits. and his angry sprite showing up. #like. I think that’s when I genuinely despised him. #that and him going ‘OH I BELIEVED YOU THE WHOLE TIME HEEHOO :)’ shit was so fucking annoying. #just playing it off as a joke the second the guild started to believe hero and partner. #IMAGINE IF HE W A S ACTUALLY TESTING THE GUILD’S TRUST. SHOWCASING HIM AS THE MORE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL RIGHT HAND OF THE GUILD. #and yes. Brine cave he saves hero and partner. but at that point I just didn’t care anymore. #he fucked those two over so much. that I didn’t care what ‘valiant’ sacrifice he had. #and he grills Team Skull for what they did OFF SCREEN. they couldn’t even give us THAT. #<<< THAT or him outright saying sorry would’ve been nice. IKIK his ‘actions’ or whatever but. #eughh again this is all imo. I’m not trying to make people hate him or change their mind. #I’ll get into positives in the second post cause I’m running out of tags

so. never consumed any mcu content whatsoever. however i have recently stumbled upon peter parker/harley keener fanfics, went down a rabbit hole, and am now obsessed with their dynamic and i realized i have just fallen into the trap of another blond + southerner + sarcastic + calls-his-boyfriend-darlin’ + infinitely supportive + big fucking nerd x incredibly traumatized + sarcastic + italian + orphan + definitely-started-saving-the-world-too-young + big fucking nerd ship. i am nothing if not predictable

#their relationship is not all solangelo i just noticed the parallels lol #also thriving off of the found family dynamics that exist in peter/harley + the avengers fics #all i’m getting is that tony stark is a reluctant father figure 💀 however i barely know what’s canon don’t come at me #steve. clint. sam. bruce. bucky. natasha. wanda. vision. shuri. pepper. matt. etc #i have gained so much knowledge of the marvel cinematic universe! (i have intense spoilers of every characters traumatic backstory now) #hmm hydra. shield. friday. karen. midtown. acadec—mj ned betty cindy abe mr harrington fLasH #im just listing things i did not know that i now know. i find it very funny that i have no idea what’s ooc or canon tho #it’s like i’m reading an original story cause bro i do not know shit about spiderman #parkner #solangelo #also idk if peters actually italian but he definitely is in this fic and somewhere in the canon universe he might be implied to be? idk man #im going in blind #spiderman

On today's episode of Holy Shit My Childhood Was Not Normal:

Kurtis Conner being thrown off by the girls'/boys' bibles with the random "Dream Girl" and "Grossology" passages and shit like that in them

#I didn't have that exact one but I had a girls' bible with the lil dream girl passages in them #mine was purple and green #There was a specific one I read over and over because it was about thinking about your best friend #and I thought about my best friend that way #except it wasn't actually in a friend way I flat out just had a crush on them lol #I later went on to id as a lesbian and that specific story made helped me realize it #so maybe that bible was good for something #I'm now a lil bi boy who might be ace but still #Im 21 now actually Im a Man in the U.S. /j #it's just #always so funny watching people remind me that I grew up Not Normally #like I genuinely got so into reading those lil bible dream girl passages #but I also preferred the gross out shit of the boys' one #cause I was one of those cartoon network poop fart joke funny tweenagers #I loved gaming stunts and all things gross or whatever #I wasn't allowed to actually do that because I was a lil lady so I enjoy it now #I tell people I'm going to shit their pants if they don't leave me alone and think I'm the funniest human alive #anyways go watch kurtis's new video about gendered products it's good #ex christian #religious trauma

the dabihawks bachelorette au is the only true mha canon to me and I mean this completely seriously in that I literally thought a major plot point from that fic was fully canon to the extent that I used said plot point as the rationalization in my brain for a certain plot point in a DIFFERENT fic

#this should be embarrassing but it's actually just too fucking funny to me. hello #even when I dropped mha I was keeping up with that fic. by any other name supremacy #BUT LITERALLY AT 4 IN THE MORNING LAST NIGHT I WAS READING A FIC LIKE “oh why this?? oh yeah that's probably why” #AND THEN HELLA HAD TO TELL ME I WAS REMEMBERING SHIT FROM THE BACHELORETTE AU #I guess this is how I let you all know I'm low level back into mha. sorry to disappoint 😔 #actually no I'm not. I'm not planning on picking up the manga again. I'm literally just reading fic and talking to hella about it #I'm not even caught up on the anime. I might do that though just cause I know they animated dabi's dance. which was a massive slay #oh and lady nagant. I'm a lesbian #but anyway. sorry this was ridiculous of me like that's on a whole other level from the usual “thought this minor headcanon was factual”

[ssstrawberryflowers]

well this morning as I woke up from a 4 or so hour night of sleep i had the brilliant idea of trying to fight Gabriel in 3-2 on Violent while listening to a youtube video, with no in-game music, relatively low in-game master sound and without having actually beaten him (on Violent) after having spent over three hours and a half exclusively trying to kick his ass a few days ago.

so. uhm. yeah. drew how it felt (while also remaining as vague as i could as to not upset anyone lol)

this was both surprisingly hard but also relatively quick? in a weird sort of way? idk girl

screenshots below if you care lol

the 3h30 hour attempt proof (i quit at fucking 3 am my wrists were sore as fuck)

the one successful attempt (was surprisingly quicker than expected)

so uh. yea. laughed really loudly when i did beat him and when he called me an insignificant fuck again. 11/10 will do again.

#my favorite thing to do in ultrakill (aside from bullying V2 into oblivion) is dying to my own projectile boosts <33 #really though i'm sorry this is yet another stupid post and not actual art i just thought this was kinda funny; art is being made i promise #shredding through his health in his first phase is actually really easy i think; it just gets real hard once he goes angy #like just send four coins in the air and hit them with the railcanon (except i was too dumb to do a proper railcoin because ah eto bleh) #but his swords dance attack when he enters his second phase as well as his increased speed are really hard to figure out #also his timings are so different from standard!!! somehow i could parry some of his slashes but almost none of his light hatchets!! #what the fuck!!!! aaaaaa #really though beating Gabriel again was actually fun as hell fr #oh yeah the video i was listening to was a woman commenting on a “healthy christian sex course” while also giving advice and stuff #chose it cause it was almost four hours long and i didn't know how much it might take me to beat Gabe (also cause irony) #(my sense of humour is busted as fuck and really bad and im sorry) #ultrakill #gabriel ultrakill #hb talks #dumb shit #shitpost #←i think. maybe #again if you read through all of this shit i love you <3

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

okay weird q incoming but what ways do you think speedsters can get sick? Like to my understanding, they can’t really come down with normal virus’ like the flu, right? But they could get things like chronic migraines?

NANOBOTS!!! This is one of the best pieces of canon lore ever. I did a whole post on it but TLDR: normal human metabolisms have so much shit going on that they don't even notice nanobots in their body BUT speedsters have hyper accelerated metabolisms that are the equivalent of the straight A's overachiever in school on meth. So speedster metabolisms do notice nanobots and they attack full force, triggering all of the body's defenses and responses.

But the nanobots are metal so it obviously doesn't do anything. It just leaves the speedster lethargic, feverish, vomiting, dizzy, with a headache, sore muscles and a runny nose, ect. It's basically an allergic reaction.

Now, poisoning them can work depending on what the poison is/what the dosage is. You would need a 100% fatal poison and you would need a fairly high dose. Because speedsters heal fast and they have a hyper accelerated metabolism, so any poison that is based on toxicity (alcohol poisoning for example) would be out of their system faster than it could even take effect.

But poisons that can't be cleared out/processed by the body (take cyanide for example, it binds with the chemical receptors in your body making it physically impossible to use oxygen) wouldn't really be affected by their metabolism at all. So while the speedsters could heal the damaged tissues from these poisons fairly quickly (making it seem as though they were only slightly affected) they would ultimately need time to do so, time they would not have if it kills them first. This isn't technically what you are asking because there would be no substance that 'makes them sick', there would only be 'fine', 'not fine for like a minute and then fine again' and 'dead'. (... unless they were hooked up to a steady supply of the toxin)

Likewise, (this is getting more into theoretical territory, less canon) there might be some illnesses that would affect them? Not for long but if you got something super fucking fatal like Rabies, it might make them display mild cold symptoms for a day or something.

I don't know though. They have really fucking good immune systems. And even super fatal diseases can be fought. Take my example of Rabies, while it is commonly thought to be 100% fatal once symptoms show up there actually have been cases of people surviving it. Rabies is a very stealthy and fast disease, so the main problem with treating it is that your body's immune system isn't fast enough to stop it. People have survived by being placed in medically induced comas (slowing their bodily functions and thus the disease) for long enough that the medication can eradicate it. So for a speedster? That's gone in a minute tops. You would need an insane disease that I'm not sure even exists.

There's also like... pregnancy and menstruation. Growing pains, muscle pain from running is a BIG ONE, being dehydrated/starvation, blood loss, ect. Lots of ways to fuck with a speedster in a way they can't immediately fix.

There are also speedster specific ailments. It's basically 50/50 if a natural born speedster gets a weird highly fatal aging disease. Sometimes speedsters can be born without a kinetic energy shield which makes using their powers at all incredibly fatal to them. All speedsters will have connectivity issues at some point that can be fatal. Sometimes Time Gets Bad™ (shout out to when Barry kept chronically stealing time from people/things every time he used his powers). Sometimes they have too much energy and can't maintain human form (shout out to when Wally didn't know what the speedforce was and was accidentally cosplaying Ghost Rider). Velocity 9 is a highly addictive drug that works on speedsters and makes them display typical addiction behavior (and withdrawal). V9 can also cause a speedster to 'overdose' (burst into flames/lightning/energy). They all have the constant urge to yeet themselves into the speedforce. Ect.

#here's the thing: they are made of speedforce but its not a skin deep thing. you feel me? like their CELLS are made of speedforce #so all shit still affects them #i keep saying that they don't need oxygen or food to survive and thats true but its only if they're actively compensating with speedforce #cause they can get energy from the speedforce or they can get energy from oxygen and food or both. they can't do neither #and they don't really *know* or understand that theyd be fine with JUST speedforce energy. they still think they need oxygen and food #so if they were suffocating or something they might instinctively crank up the speedforce to compensate but they're also very stupid #so they might just die. idk it really depends on who it is how much they know and how much SF they're drawing on #cause like... energy beings need energy yo #i hope this makes sense #the muscle pain one is interesting cause Wallys early runs are really big on the whole hitting the wall thing #he would hit a wall that he physically couldn't break through and it caused him a lot of pain. #some of that was not being hooked up properly cause Wally wasn't hooked up properly until he was an ADULT #because he is FUCKING INSANE and he just went 'huh i guess this is my limit and i will stay below it' liKE AN INSANE PERSON #anyway some of it was SF issues and some of it was mental but he actually got really really hurt anytime he got close to the wall #REALLY bad muscle pain. and like... it was potentially extremely fatal. 'breaking down your body into little bits' fatal #he doesn't get that anymore because hes properly hooked up now but jfc that man treated 'entering the death zone' like it was #the high score to beat at his local arcade. he took it as a fucking challenge. absolutely insane dude right there

i want to see miguel be batshit so bad . like do i have to take miguel o’hara away from you guys until you learn how to characterise him..... keep drawing gabi's quinces as long as the world balances it out with comics about him projecting his issues onto miles and being the secondary antagonist of atsv 💀

#not actually a MASSIVE problem im exaggerating a little LOL #but the miguel tag is unusable bro . you guys being way too weird about him being latino + spanish speaking #i am part of the problem cause he is always the butt of my jokes #but so much fanart is just drawing his ass fat as possible or making him sympathetic #WHICH I GET. I DO !! he's well written and has a backstory that leads into that #but also i would like him to be insane please #did we all see the very devestating scene where he sends gwen back to her world knowing she might not be accepted by her dad. #like. i'd like to see miguel 'i don't always like what i have to do' o'hara. it would be so awesome. it would be so cool #personal #rambling #i think ive used both tags for saying random shit. its ok i'll make it all the same at some point

thinking of the very likely possibility there are true crime channels in the rgg universe and one (1) person has probably looked into masato's ''''''death'''''. for shits and giggles of course.

#snap chats #just got my spanish exam back and i love it when profs are like 'your lowest grade'll be dropped' #bestie i KNOW this'll be my lowest grade i just wanted to test the waters for how exams will go </3 i promise not to suck next time </3 #anyway main text post time. NO BUT DO YOU THINK #cause arakawa was infamous before and people knew of his son then but esp after the kamurocho k3 shit #his name DEF exploded and people DFE got nosy..... #i dont think anyone would have figured out that aoki was masato but maybe one (1) person figured he wasnt really dead #i still wanna know how masato's public death went.. #but yeah can you imagine. going on youtube and some girl is talking about your fake death like it really happened and is speculating #and you just get to sit in your governor chair like Lol. #IMAGINE IF THE POOR LASS GETS FUCKIN. NECKED FOR THATLKEJKLJ #i dont think aoki would consider some random youtuber as an actual threat but that'd be hilarious if he did #anyway i just think we should exploit social media and the sort more with rgg characters #i think itd be really funny and the peak of comedy if we acknowledged how Actual people might react to shit #i mean... we already got vtubers interacting with the fuckinnn yakuza.. cant get more ridic than that.. lol.. #ok bye im learning spanish now

back when this series first dropped i remembered it really bothered me that people called satogou "firstfriendshipping" cause it ignored chloe's presence in the group as goh's actual first friend, and yknow it sorta had "ignore the girl so only the boys matter" vibes, but see now i can't even be too annoyed about that cause in retrospect it's not like the show itself gives a fuck about chloe or considers her goh's friend

#which like. honestly id argue theres some misogyny in the show in how she was handled #cause she WAS billed as another companion. shes in the opening shes very prominent in those first few eps #but the writers didnt actually care about her arc. they only cared about ash's and goh's. the show acts like her friendship with goh isnt a #isnt as important. and then later on they retcon yamper being ''her'' pokemon and give her that dumbass eevee plot #shes literally a rehash of a rehash and its so disappointing. shes just serena and may's arc again but worse #literally got to the point where her final centric episode wasnt even about HER. it was about her goddamn dad #and it ends with her basically going ''hmmm i might figure out what i wanna do. but not right now. bc the writers didnt know either'' #and then she becomes a researcher which is what she was afraid of being percieved as bc of her heritage and its not even remarked upon #like. are you serious. au where the writers gave a shit about koharu beyond making her another eevee girl #i cant even appreciate her eevee being a silly little girl cause in the sub at least it actually got really grating #that VA was gasping for breath with how high pitched and airy they made that eevee voice and it got really old really fast #which is why im glad they dubbed it in english. they didnt have to but hopefully that makes my life easier #unless the dub voice is also obnoxious which is unfortunately very possible #echoed voice #jn lb

Alright gw2 peeps, here's one for all of you with a lot of alts:

All your characters of the same class (e.g. all your rangers) are stuck together in an escape room.

Which of your "class groups" is off the worst and who gets the job done with no problem?

#edit: yall did this way more detailed than my word salad so lemme redo this class by class as well: #eles: not awful. overall a relatively cooperative group despite very differing personalities. #wouldnt be the fastest in finding the solutions but definitely are getting out of there without casualties or other damages #necros: shit tier dynamics. hostile charr that wants to be left alone vs. volatile chak madman vs. way too gentle sylvari plant #communication would NOT go well but they would make it out (neljje contributes NOTHING to this) #mesmers: nightmare courtier who is out to be as destructive on purpose as possible vs. just some guy vs. tvekks (enough said) #tvekks will suffer but they'll probably make it out. maybe. im unsure. #rangers: actually competent. if we ignore the hostile inquest rat in the room we're left with a competent charr leader and a #very cooperative norn huntsman (and bobbie but he contributes absolutely nothing). they will get out just fine. #engineers: disaster. there might be dead. too many egos in one room and a poor norn who just wants to get out beween everyone fighting #she might jus solve this on her own while the other three are about to slice each other's throats #thieves: absolute hell tier. mordrem sylvari trying to eat everything he can possble dig his teeth into. #a mildly confused human who probably just tries her best while the asura in the room is suffering psychic damage caused by #the mordrem and the charr that will simply not shut up for one second #i do not see ANYONE managing to get a solution in these conditions even if individually they might just be able to. #revs: awkward atmosphere between happy upbeat asura kid and really grumpy charr but they're getting through it #warriors: also a weird clash of personalities but they'd pull their asscheeks together and get out of there #and finally the guardians: no destructive force in here. just two very mature people and a slightly chaotic but otherwise clever bard #absolute dream team coming up with solutions. peace and happiness. #budgie plays gw2

This has been the worst month of this whole year for me easily I’m gonna cry 😍😍😍😍

I am so sorry for the hate you’re facing right now, is there anything at all we can do to help? Please don’t listen to assholes, they’re just that and they aren’t the majority I promise you that. Keep being you ❤️

#everything hurts right now i’ve cried like 5 times this evening lol #‘don’t let them see they’ve gotten to you’ some might say #and i get that. but this shit DOES fucking hurt actually #it does. and i’m not gonna sit here and say it doesn’t #these people know they’re causing pain to vulnerable people and they keep doing it anyway #canyon are sick in the head end of discussion #it’s repulsive and being harassed is making me want to just log off forever #message in a bottle #anonymous

[dark-falz]

And here's the new PSO inspired magic circle I wrote! (that's tailored to specifics that I'm not getting into) As well as the traditional Algolian seal (I've broken down a bit of it here) and the first magic circle I built

I'M GETTING MUCH QUICKER AT THIS!

I drew every symbol instead this time, I find it to be the one thing easier to draw on tablet than paper, I think I'll go back to the other method next time tho it looks neater.

Ok into a bit on how its wrote/the magic building for those curious :3

So I went over a bit on it yesterday but here's the full circle that there was no way I was fitting in that tiny space.

Magic Circles are now the thing I study when I'm having my after work drink at the bar ^^;

The 3 outer circles (I keep referring to as Muut Ditts Poumn circles) while they all hold the main energies, they're all lions :3 The alchemy symbols for essence pokes out of them and toward the middle text. Leo as well as the 2 Divine beings, each associated with the Sun and the Moon. In the outer ring, where the Photon Blasts would be listed, I have other Gods that represent different phases of the Sun and the Moon, Moon Gods being separated by the female end of the ankh, as the moon is of feminine mother energy against the masculine father energy of Leo's ruler, the Sun. Sun gods border the rising & moon signs of the initiator. I probably put a bit more time into the order of the names in the ring, but PSO isn't actually conjuring magic outside our hearts and is allowed to be whatever about that.

I'd also only use the Ankh with Egyptian Gods as I only work with them aside from "celestial bodies". There is more detail on the significance of the ankh in the first post. The reason its positioned sideways is I learned horizontal lines can be a negative aspect, where as vertical lines are always positive. I still have a horizontal line in this, but with it being only one, the numerology plays in to it enough, I also didn't HAVE to add it but felt it necessary. The magic numbers are 1 and 7.

The Divine are placed in their directions in accordance to the element. Sun to the South for Fire, Moon to the West for Water. Leo is placed east due to the affinitive candle color. East represents air which is the main element of the target.

The alchemical symbols I used aren't all available text symbols, but here's what's there. (I've used so many reference books for these and they don't match each other either it just is what it is I guess)

Top Circle: (Symbols unavailable) Triangle: ♀ Planet - Venus | Metals - ♀ Copper, Brass | Zodiacs - Libra, Taurus Sides: Symbols for crystal and lapis lazuli (Divine specific) Bottom Circle: (Symbols unavailable) Triangle: ♂ Planet - Mars | Metal - ♂ Iron, Brass | Zodiacs - Aries, Scorpio Sides: ☾ Moon | Metal - ☾ Silver | Zodiac - Cancer Steel - Saturn | Metals - ♄ Lead, ♂ Iron, Steel | Zodiacs - Capricorn, Aquarius (steel is Divine specific) Right Circle: (symbols unavailable) Sides: Planet - Sun | Metals - ⊙ Gold, Brass | Zodiac - Leo

I was also able to place the alchemy symbols a bit neater this time because I didn't have odd numbers of them like in the Algolian Seal spell. The circles with the points in the outer circles represent wax, there is also a wick symbol in each of them as well as different things to dress the candles with such as oil, herbs, and fumes.

Sorry its not quite as in depth as the Algolian Seal inspired one, since its more religious sided I figured I'd skip the deeper details. Hope it was a fun read and it helps if u wanna build magic circles one day or something :3

#i'm just glad pso is what got me to learn how to write this shit #so this circle goes on papyrus and hopefully I get to do the spell during the new moon friday #tbh i wanted it on my phone so i could use it as a reference while I sit outside and draw it sorry for being selfish this time #pso magic #actually I might have fucked up again lmao #I was suppose to put the time and date I wrote this and the time and date I perform it in the outer ring #but...that's really hard for me to translate I think... #cause the divine beings I used.... #one already counts as the new moon hmm shit what you get is close enough guys #also I want u guys to know i have so much anxiety over using the wrong angle/angel #like ik the difference spelling them but i don't always pay attention and I can use both in the same paragraph sometimes like i'm sorry #magic

[july-19th-club]

how to make a character who sucks so bad and nobody likes him but he is genuinely a good protagonist (good as in interesting, maybe on a rare day good as in decent but also, just like, an incredible jackass) . i need to make him worse i need to make him MEANER!

#i think the key to getting this kind of character right is that he can't try to be anybody's boss #that's not the fun and engaging kind of jackass that's just reminding the reader of all the bosses they've hated in their time #the engaging and likeable Guy Who Sucks So Bad is a loner who might CLAIM that he will take over the group or whatever and lead #but never actually has any intentions of doing so because part of the things he sucks re: is responsibility of any kind #he does however know that leaders dont like other people horning in on their territory so he will say things like #i'm gonna wreck your shit and then all your lackeys will follow ME! ouahahahahaha . despite having zero plans to follow up with that #the ideal engaging asshole protagonist is a rebel without a good cause: maybe he has a sad backstory; maybe he's just a dick #but if there's one thing about him you can count on it's that he is Opposed To Shit. doesnt matter what it is his primary entertainment #is picking a fight with it for no reason and then saying what the fuck ever i didn't care about it anyway (he didn't) #ideally this is all done in such a way that he is SEXY . but you'd never want to hang with him because he is deeply obnoxious #he is not bossy. he is not controlling. he is maybe even a bit of a wife guy except he hates everyone else and wants to make their day wors #because making someone else's day worse makes HIS day better . the ideal wife for him is the one from ordinary day with peanuts #by shirley jackson #and i have GOT to figure out a way to engineer this guy without copying examples of my favorite versions of him wholesale #i have the scaffolding. but because of my own confrontation-averse tendencies #im terribly concerned that i will never be able to actually make him the asshole he was born to be #q

[shepards-folly]

not tagging this properly cuz its just concept sketches but I have a bad habit of deleting my art and I like these first concept doodles so well up they go

#shep arts #i didnt really do any color balancing for these first pass designs so ragh not 100% on the colors but i like these 2 #I did do winged designs for everyone this go around but tbh finley and florence might end up wingless #i really like them as just a deer/faun and a cat hybrid respectively #florence would absolutely wear like cosplay wings though…. like specifically a pair that he made himself thats shitty but he’s proud of. #gonna be honest I don’t know shit about actual like colorza lore or whatever besides their names. I just went insane abt the concept lol #i love designing pretty much the same guy several times… #anyway other notes for future design attempts… ‘m considering making frey a dragon… #i do like the concept of skeletal wings or idk i think I usually draw them with clipped wings cause something something headcanon #cant remember why exactly but my designs are inconsistent as hell anyway lol #uhh considering giving phil some angel stuff… cause phin is a demon and I do love things like that… somthjn somethin opposites #ACTUALLY WAIT I HAD A WHOLE THING ABOUT THE OPPOSITE COLOR ONES #angel n demon / good n bad / peace and violence (<- phil and phin) but i think both of them get to be morally complex as a treat so yeah #black cat and yellow bird (<- florence and fletcher) [i think they had sun and moon imagery at one point too??] #and uh tbh i forgot finley and flynns… i think it was something about like nature (finley) and technology (flynn) #frey and pheo… death and life… decay and bloom… ugh their colors aren’t opposites but out of the rainbow they’re both outliers

[mimiatmidnight]

Will you be commenting on the Taylor drama?

I love the way this was worded, like I'm one of the siblings on Succession and the press has cornered me outside my penthouse to ask if I'll be releasing a statement on my family's latest scandal. Hehehe anyways.

Sorry but I just don't understand how anyone is shocked. Truly what has that woman ever done to successfully convince people that this is out of character for her. Like I don't want to diminish anyone's pain or anything but I see all these stans on here and over on Twitter in all this distress, having their very first epiphanies like "Hold on . . . does Taylor . . . suck??" And I kinda just have to chuckle at them cause like bless your hearts babes, but omg catch UP 😭

Lol because 1) she is a severely emotionally stunted person who thinks edgy British "bad boys" are hot like she's 12 years old, 2) she has no true deeply-held moral principles outside of issues that directly affect herself, and 3) truthfully, she seems to be suffering from a serious crisis of identity after the end of the longest and most significant romantic relationship of her life, and in my opinion is pretty clearly desperate to prove something to the world/her ex/herself.

The first reason is cringe but not news to longtime viewers, the second reason is pathetic but also not news (to those who can be honest with themselves), and the third is . . . understandable in some sense, but not pitiable enough to make me willing to humor this insufferable little episode she's having. I wish her luck on this humiliating rebound journey, but she is gonna have to walk that road on her own.

Normally, I always roll my eyes when people make these kinds of jokes, but given the circumstances I feel justified in saying: I can't wait to hear the breakup song about him, sis 🤡

#the great thing about disliking your own fave is that they simply do not have the power to disappoint you lol #like her stans (at least those who arent complete sycophants—which sadly is not most) are breaking down over Babys 1st Cognitive Dissonance #meanwhile im just over here chilling lol #ive also just NEVER been particularly invested in her personal life anyways so im gucci on that front too #i didnt even realize specific songs were about specific celebrity exes until *several* years into listening to her music #thats how unplugged i am lol #she is unusually extremely visible in the collective conscious right now cause of the tour and this insufferable PR blitz #but the absolute best thing for me is when she disappears and i dont have to perceive her -- the actual person -- outside of her music #and then it can just be me and my lifelong companion the fictional character “taylor swift” (c)(r)(tm) #so personally the only real threat this hangs over my head is the thought she might put him on an album #like that does strike real terror in my heart im ngl #ESPECIALLY any of the rerecords oh my god #and given the way hes been tailing her in and out of that damn studio . . . its not looking good for me kids 🥴 #i cant believe she would be that dumb after making the same mistake with joe on folklore #cause even tho now she has to suffer the indignity of sharing a grammy with her ex (LMAO) #at least we can understand that at the time she thought they were in it for life #but if she pulls that shit again with a REBOUND??? just to like stick it to joe or further delude herself or whatever? #idk im gonna need interpol or somebody to step in and do something drastic like this is a cry for help #did you guys see that euphoria meme someone made about her deranged “ive never been happier!!!!” speech the other day? #it was SO funny ill go find it
