#the ‘yes dear’ energy of it

[strawberryaziraphale]

one of my favourite scenes from return of the king is when gimli nudges legolas and tells him to shoot saruman and he just reaches for an arrow without question

Jude in QoN: “Of course it was a trick” That’s what you said.

Cardan:

#Cardan: but that’s what you dooooo baby girl I was just tryna match your energy #also him saying “ofc it was a trick” #that “ofc” speaks volumes to me #like “well yeah it was a trick?? no way you thought you were seriously exiled” #also he’s so fucking dumb for that cause yes #I see his side #BUT DAMN SHE JUST GOT BACK FROM BEING TORTURED BRUH #and you sent her to the one place you always told her to go back to😭😭😭😭with NO WARNING #that’s what Madoc did to her you son of a bitch😭😭😭took everything from her in one day #obvi Madoc was so much worse but they both took everything from her within a moment of time and sent her to a world she did NOTTT wanna go #I love love love Cardan #he overestimates Jude so much and it’s cute AS FUCK but fucks shit over #like yes I’m all for him thinking his wife is a literal god #but he needs a reminder of her mortality every once in awhile #the folk are so fucking oblivious dear god😭😭😭😭 #cardan greenbriar #queen of nothing #jude duarte

hmmm something about dominik haunting the narrative in king of scars. everything nikolai does is at least a little bit for him. he learns about the life of average ravkan people by meeting dominik's family. he starts gaining influence in politics just so he can improve dominik's life. and then he promises dominik that he won't let ravka break him.

that promise fucking haunts him. it follows him wherever he goes. it's the driving force behind everything he does, every step he takes to heal the centuries-old wounds in ravka. it's what drives him to do better, be better.

dominik is always there, in the back of his mind: this country gets you in the end. always pushing him to do more, because he couldn't save dominik and so he has to save ravka (for dominik) (because he promised) (because he loved him)

#my spicy hot take is that nikolai's relationship with dominik actually affects the narrative of the duology more than - #- his relationship with zoya does #you could argue that *none* of the events of the duology would have happened without dominik's influence #and honestly zoyalai as a relationship doesn't really affect the narrative/plotline all that much #which is One of the problems i have with it being endgame #anyway yes i am writing an angsty nikolai backstory fic why do you ask? #it's mostly about how he reinvents himself at every minor inconvenience (but also how incredibly fucked up his childhood was) #and if i have the energy it might turn into a rewrite of the ending of rule of wolves #bc him giving up the throne just plays into that pattern of running away #so honestly i think it's not a great ending in terms of his arc and character development #this may just be a me thing idk but i just feel like he doesn't actually get that much development in the duology #bc there's this idea of him as being Perfect and Invulnerable and Not Affected By His Trauma #which. is not the case. #it's all very dear reader (taylor swift) imo #ANYWAY #mayhem.txt #mayhem grishaverse originals #nikolai lantsov #shadow and bone #king of scars #grishaverse

man, I love characters that are all like "well I would never do that, because's that irrational and I got rid of irrational behavior years ago. Right? Right."

and then turn around and silently do the thing because someone batted their eyelashes

I love how you draw Swatch very much. I already go "Swatch :)" when I see them but your Swatch amplifies that somehow so it's now "Swatch!! :D!!" Give that birb some hugs they look so huggable in your art style.

top three tags, comments, and asks i get about the way i draw swatch: 1. soft 2. shaped 3. huggable

and i love it. all are true. thank you 😂 i meant to do more swatchvember but i had a lot of work to do this last week so y'all can have a swatch hug scribble for the road. we love a giant bird

i will probably finish a few of the ideas i had for swatchvember anyway but at my own pace instead of for prompts, there were some bangers in there

#deltarune #doodles #swatch #ask #anonymous #anon #art #hugging them is like hugging the broad side of a barn even if i didnt stylize my sona to look smaller #and i didnt here that is like accurate height and size comparison i could not fit my arms around them #Large Beast #i miss ye olde fandom days where i did not have responsibilities i really could just draw blorbos all day #now i have to. Work. gags. /lh. limited creative energy and i have to make money woe is me #ty for the huge support on my black friday sale though i got. dear god i got so many orders #all i did friday was pack orders That Is Not A Joke #i think the mail lady wants my Head for as many outgoing packages as im stuffing in the mailbox #y'all are very cool ty <3 #im just about caught up on everything now though so lets see about making some Posts huh

suuuuch a good show ugh

#awsten (yes his name really is spelled that way) was VERY good live and is fantastic at crowd work honestly #very fun show but secretly my favorite part was when during one of the openers this couple sat down in front of me #and they were like.... in their 50s at least and I was like 😳 oh man why are they here... is there kid down in the pit or something? #are they gonna enjoy this show at all? #dear reader I was so wrong. oh my god. the husband was clearly a fan and was jamming the whole night ahahaha it was so fun. #shame on me! I learned my lesson! #also I got a balcony ticket bc they were cheaper and while it was nice to see everything #(which is a gamble if you're my height and down in GA) #but... I did miss the energy of GA and the pit. there was moshing and crowdsurfing which was a pleasant surprise #it was nice to have space + clear sight lines but I guess it goes to show that sometimes the suboptimal view is made better by the crowd

😳 Let me tell you my feelings for Barbs are next level. I woke up suddenly possessed with inspiration and spent 5 uninterrupted hours writing a 5.3k word fic about him and my s/i before I even had coffee. I didn't even PLAN to write that much. Good grief.

#it's such a great outlet for my passion #he's so beautiful I can't help but write vivid descriptions of him and his personality and little details #I honestly feel kind of embarrassed about it but also I don't because I love without shame #I wish I had the confidence to post my fics but I don't #not that I doubt my writing skills or anything its more because its so personal #god forbid anyone understand why I feel the way I do about him #anyways I got no energy left I poured it all into writing about Barbs #ship: anything for you dear #yes they said that to each other in my fic too you best believe it #also I think thats like 25k words in total Ive written for Barbs now woweee #sunny speaks

the ~proper~ em dash is kind of ugly

#whys it so long #ithought it was two - of those bitches but it's THREE #that's too long #not an update #is it truly worth using the correct punctuation if it's that ugly #i already wrote everything in this with it and it would take like. more than five seconds of effort to change it #so i guess the answer is yes #it's going to really grate on me that all of my other fics are formatted differently than this one though #but like #dear god i don't have the energy to go read through the 137k i have published to fix everything #and i still need to fix the dialogue tags in some of those too #negligible self especially cus it probably has some inconsistencies cus i changed them all in like one night and i'm sure i missed som e #i've reread the first two chapters to double check/re-edit but nothing past that #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [runs full speed into a wall]

[apollo-just-ice]

Love that I had the thought “hmm well some of this stuff in my fic might not be completely accurate :/“

But then I reminded myself it’s like a totally self indulgent written for *me* thing,,, like yeah! It doesn’t have to be perfect, I am writing what makes my heart happy! That is all that should matter really!! And so now I feel okay, honestly. Good job, me.

That rly is an important thing to remember when creating things, is that foremost it should be making you happy, no matter inaccuracies or popularity or anything else

Also an essay of my thoughts about writing a pmd fic below in the tags hahah oops:

#lol yes I have been working on a pmd fic that I may or may not post when it’s done #it’s like such a conglomeration of different points in my life when I played the game and thoughts and feelings from throughout those times #something that can be. so personal #I wanna make a mark of having some pmd content shared I think so! #but yk so maybe there is some wavy logic in the human (before they became a Pokémon) being able to talk to Pokémon #but that is always how I imagined it must’ve been as a kid without question #and that I know Grovyle and the mc aren’t the main relationship the game wants focus on #but for me over the years I more and more find it fascinating to think about #especially just with the context of a friendship that now only has memories remaining with one person #and stuff like that #but I don’t super delve into angst bc I also rly just want this to be cozy at the end of the day #happy warm soft fuzzy cozy vibes #which I probably get from nostalgia alone here but writing it I feel those energies in it #but while the partner character doesn’t get as much of a focus she is still so dear to me methinks #idk this rambling has been going on so long rn lol #I hope all that I have been putting into this fic shows through in the end #I’m not even done writing it yet it has been a challenge at times but I sure do want to complete it #okay thanks and thanks like sm if you read the tags hahah <3 #now we are going to do proper tags so maybe people will see this… #pmd #pmd explorers #pokemon mystery dungeon #pokemon #fanfic #writing #content creating #? idk what to tag bc the advice/whatever u would call it can apply to more than just writers I think… #pmd2 #pmd eos #pmd sky

Not to sound like an ass, but how could you let Heartbound languish for two years?

Hmmmm... what could have possibly caused *anything* to languish for two years?

Covid.

Straight up.

Ever since the pandemic started, my creativity has been completely depleted. These little ficlets and snippets are about as much I can manage, and as I'm sure you've noticed, these ficlets and snippets are a far cry from the depth and scope of my actual fics. My actual fics, like Heartbound, consume a significant amount of time, energy, and mental bandwidth. Which I don't always have.

I'm working on getting back to where I used to be, creativity wise. But I'm also trying to treat myself with grace. The pandemic has been traumatic even for those who haven't contracted it, and it's altered how I completely live my life, and I'm trying to be conscious of that.

My brain is not a machine. In fact, in the past two years I've learned it is in fact quite squishy and unreliable, seeing as covid also coincides with me getting my depression and adhd appropriately medicated, which may also have played a role in my lack of creativity.

All of this to say that I'm being gracious with myself and treating myself with the same gentle encouragement I'd treat a best friend. I've treated myself horribly in the past, and honestly... I'm too old for that shit.

I'm soft. I'm sensitive. I'm healing.

Also, languishing?

Bish, it's hibernating.

#personal #also yes... you do come across as a bit of an ass #you may have meant it as a compliment but it doesnt really come off that way #fic writers do this for free #i am no different #stuff happens #even if it wasnt a collective trauma #what if i just wasnt in the right mood to continue it? #that would be equally valid #its one thing to ask if i intend to continue (which i have already indicated i do) #but to ask why i havent continued sooner is incredibly personal and actually quite rude #yall are not entitled to anything i put out #as ive said before i write primarily for myself #i love to hear what yall think about it and get other feedbacks #but i write it bc i want to read it #not bc someone wants or expects me to #especially my actual fics #dear god they take a lot of time and energy and mental capacity

how do you best like to be loved?

craft me a cunning creation

ㅤthe power of 'i made this for you' is enough to make your heart ache in the good kind of way. the knowledge that someone sat down, and, with you in mind, they Created. they painted, they knit, they sculpted, they folded. they Created for you. it is something tangible. something that will remain when they have to leave for the night. something that lingers. you can look at it, touch it, and you can know that you were cared for enough to inspire creation. you were the source of someone wanting to make. you were, and you are, and you have proof of it. you have proof that they think of you, proof that they thought. and you're worth it, love, you're inspirational. i hope you have an entire shelf or bookcase filled with proof of being thought of and remembered. filled with tangible evidence of consideration.
