[andorerso]

I'm having additional thoughts about the fact that while I still love Rebelcaptain to pieces, I think original Cassian actually worked better with Jyn and was a better match for her overall, and I can't put it into words yet but I'm thinking it

will you pls enlighten the dash on what you read???

oh my friend, my lovely love, apple of my eye, you have no idea what you ask of me ---

so right now i'm reading from blood and ash ( bc of @polymusepotion ), but i've also read:

you, again - kate goldbeck

too many sports romance novels

fragile threads of power - v.e. schwab

the quiet tenant - clemence michallon

fourth wing - rebecca yarros

killing me - michelle gagnon

divine rivals - rebecca ross

butcher & blackbird - brynne weaver

assistant to the villain - hannah nicole maehrer

and those are just the ones in the past 3 months that have given me considerable "i miss writing things" brainrot

#the thing is like #if i'm alone with my thoughts for more than ten seconds at a time #i think i will implode! #heartsbreaking #i love me some nico tho i missed u

What about,,,John Carpenter's The Thing? What would a hivemind shapeshifting extraterrestrial be like if it was a yandere??

A/N: Hi I’m back from hiatus. I just switched jobs and basically, it got real rough. Also, mental stuff. Posts will be slow, but I’m making my way downtown.

Sometimes, you wonder about the lives of those it has consumed. How could you not? The memories they held bled into its actions day in and day out. There were days where it was bouncing off the walls, and others where it was like trying to move a corpse.

Today, the thing brought you a dead Polar Bear, encompassed by what had to be the most extraordinary carvings in the snow that you’d seen to date. What creature did it have to consume to gain these skills? This culture of courting? This process of love?

You wonder vaguely what it will bring tomorrow. The alien was quite erratic. There were days that you would almost forget you weren’t talking to a human and days where gazing upon The Thing had your mind twisting to comprehend what your eyes were seeing. The Thing was just as unpredictable in behavior as appearance. What remained universal, however, was how damn clingy it was, and for horrifying reason.

You are so cold even shielded partially by the overhanging cave it’s dragged you in. Reluctantly, You give into the warmth of the monstrosity before you. Many, amphibian, (or were they batrachian?) limbs curl tightly to your skin and you are left wondering if today or the next is the day you will finally wake up and be looking through its eyes instead. Would you be alone? Would you see all the others it has consumed?

Rarely is it’s appearance the same each day or even passing hour. Even it’s behavior changed depending on what person’s memories it was drudging up. Or alien’s. There were days The Thing took on an entirely extraterrestrial appearance, and others entirely recognizable ones. It was beautiful, horrible and unknowable all in one. But always, you were next to a force of hunger. One that was seriously beginning to see the cons in holding back on taking your mind, body, and soul for itself.

Some Hyrule Warriors interdimensional malarkey leads to an instance where these two end up collaborating to resurrect some form of Demon King. And why?

Eh, just so I can draw my two favorites together in some way and have an opening to doodle ideas and concepts I've thought of for fun. A way that hopefully makes a little sense.

#the thing is like #yuga is some form of ganon from another world and ghirahim can tell cause of his supernatural connection to demises spirit #yet theres still a ganon somewhere they can probably revive or something thanks to interdimensional rifts #ghirahim wants his true master back or at least wants a demon king to rule once more #meanwhile yuga is planning to steal their power and/or bargain for a portion of it if they succeed #im one of those people that pretends hyrule warriors is canon btw especially since the games are left to interpretation #all for fun! #the legend of zelda #hyrule warriors #albw yuga #ghirahim #my art #fan art #au of some sort i guess it can be called

[recorded-anew]

I finally finished mag200 (after much delay for outside reasons) so the first thing I drew is “Somewhere Else is the Recorded Anew verse, and Martin is *very mad* about seeing Elias so soon”

#this is so silly #Noncanon #Artifacts #Martin Blackwood #S. Sims #e. robinson #Mod Corpse #the thing is like #s2 or s3 martin stoker doing this would raise no eyebrows #(its what he deserves. let him kill) #ALSO I CANT STRESS ENOUGH #NONCANON BUT VERY SILLY

Reread Clarimonde yesterday and I am NOT normal about it

#Where is the love for my girl clarimonde among all the vampire stories today #I should clarimondepost because it truly makes me crazy #The thing is like #it’s so easy to say clarimonde is the antagonist because it’s her influence that has driven romuald into a life of earthly pleasures and #excesses and led him into that double life where he can’t tell when he’s dreaming and when he’s awake— except. Except that clarimonde’s #death as a vampire is like. This sad little affair and the priest who does it is so triumphant as romuald realizes that he betrayed her #And the line from clarimonde after #‘and what harm have I ever done thee that thou shouldst violate my poor tomb #and lay bare the miseries of my nothingness?’ #Like it’s just deeply sad #And almost pathetic that it’s made out to be this Triumph Against Evil? idk about the original intent of the story but reading it today. #I should warn if anyone does read it. It’s an early 19th century short story so. There is the racism

[alchemistc]

Shit, man, I usually have a few moments of sadness for a celebrity's death and then I can go about my day.

Peter McNab passing is fucking devastating, I've just been silently crying since the notification came through.

#colorado avalanche #the thing is like #he's always been around #im so thrilled he got a final cup run in #and im so sad for everyone who loved him and all the people who got to experience #his unbridled joy #and his love for his family #and his love for this team #im gonna fo sit in this feeling for a bit

[faeriekit]

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

#the ethics are whack but more importantly you didn't even want to write it?? who is it even for?? not you? not me? #you didn't even have enough interest in the premise to take a crack at it?? then who cares? #please don't populate in my search results I'm looking for things that people wrote because they liked something #ao3

[kochei0]

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔��� If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space* at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

*yes sorry i mean usage i posted this before bed :( i do not mean the hard drive is full aaaaghhhh

#i feel like such a dumdum #i thought i needed a new HDD for sure #i can use this thing again....
