#they're so freaking cute i can't cope

[least-carpet]

For the shipping ask game, Xicheng and Chengxian?

Hello, anon! This got wildly out of hand, so it's all going under a cut.

Xicheng: Could Ship It

Borrowing this additional option I saw floating around!

I'm not strongly opposed to it, but it's hard for me to see them making it work in a canon universe. The fanart is very cute, though! And I've read some AUs that I thought made a good case, but they involved some thoughtful interventions.

What potential do you see in the ship?

Honestly, like, I just want them to both have something nice, they've had such a hard time. They both understand the hard work and sacrifices involved in sect leadership. I think the argument for it goes something like Jiang Cheng gets a person on his side who is kind to him, and Lan Xichen gets someone who's very reliable and also pretty direct, to heal his presumed post-canon trust issues.

What aspect makes you hesitant?

It just doesn't seem to me that they really enjoy each other? Like I believe they get along just fine and have a comfortable working relationship. I don't think they dislike each other, even. But they don't seem particularly close, even though they're of a rank and have been working with each other for years and years. I want my blorbo (Jiang Cheng) to be loved for his bad personality, not in spite of it!

I also think they would really struggle to communicate—Lan Xichen prefers to smooth things over, but Jiang Cheng reads too much reserve or politeness as rejection and, uh, gets reactive (thank you Jiang Fengmian for giving him the MOST deranged daddy issues, for real). Actually, I think Lan Xichen has a lot of potential to push a lot of Jiang Cheng's dad-related buttons just because of his temperament. (Maybe that's a plus? CRUNCHY.)

It also has the potential to cause some new and exciting political problems for them, which they both prefer to avoid.

Chengxian: Ship It

[lies face-down on the floor and starts hollering]

These two make me fuckin' insane!

What made you ship it?

Two things:

Their mutually happy childhood relationship, their initially compatible dysfunctions (Jiang Cheng is easily embarrassed but secretly wants affection, Wei Wuxian is bad at boundaries and WILL die if you don't pay attention to him -> Wei Wuxian touching Jiang Cheng all the time and receiving his attention, making both of them happy). Their enjoyment of each other. I love a badly-boundaried and devoted teenage relationship, it's delightful. Even before chengxian completely rotted my brain out, there was something specifically appealing about the Lan summer camp era.

The double golden core reveal took me out. I found Wei Wuxian's decision completely appalling to begin with, like viscerally disgusting. (I find it interesting when antis accuse Jiang Cheng of pretending to be upset when he finds out, or of not caring where the new core came from, because I, reader who did not get nonconsensual magic surgery, profoundly Did Not Like It. If it was my own body, I would freak out.) It's a fascinating combination of obsessive devotion and total denial of agency. Wei Wuxian is just like, "Don't worry, I will invent new and unheard of methods of violation for your own good because I can't cope with your despair." That's deranged, my dude. That is Not Normal. And then you find out that Jiang Cheng lost the core saving Wei Wuxian, and he plans to NEVER TELL HIM ABOUT IT. God damn it.

I don't even really care if they kiss, although it's fun when they do. Just reconcile! Reconcile!

What are your favourite things about the ship?

In no particular order:

In a text that is largely pro-Wei Wuxian—not in the sense that everything he does is moral, but in the sense that he's the cool protagonist, and he gets to kick ass and solve mysteries and have a happy ending—this relationship is one that highlights his weaknesses and failures in a very humanizing way. And in order to reconcile, he would actually really have to challenge himself and grow as a person, which I love for him. (I also think Jiang Cheng would have to struggle for it, but, like, dude has demonstrated the capacity to do hard and terrible things even when confronted with his own weaknesses. He's not gonna be cool about it, and he's going to cry and bitch the whole time, but if he thinks it needs to be done and it can be done, he'll do it.)

The lack of boundaries within the relationship, which is a product of the lack of clarity of the type of relation to each other. Are they friends? Are they martial brothers or real brothers? If Wei Wuxian is Jiang Cheng's shixiong, but Jiang Cheng is also Wei Wuxian's sect leader, which takes precedence? (It's clear what should take precedence, but Wei Wuxian just straight-up does not Respect His Authority, even though—by all available evidence—Jiang Cheng is a really good leader. But that lack of respect is also a form of intimacy.) It's super, super messy.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

By lying to him so extensively, and then by failing to show up for any of his commitments without any explanation, Wei Wuxian really did betray Jiang Cheng a whole bunch of times, and Jiang Cheng's resulting betrayal trauma really is his fault.

You break it, you bought it, coward! Stop running away! (For legal purposes, this is a joke.)

[fatuismooches]

I see the angst you're about to drop on the next instalment and I'm about to cope by throwing in a cute scenario ( ＞Д＜；)

So fragile reader's hands tremor, without going into the full details of it - in some cases tremors may worsen either temporarily or permanently

Sometimes, the tremoring only happens on one hand! (But that has very *very* serious implications in reality, so for the sake of keeping things fluffy let's just say that it was just a weird day for fragile reader)

So, reader one day wakes up, and during the check ups they notice that, oh hey! Their left hand isn't tremoring for once, they're getting better! Then they raise their right— it's really wobbly

Segment, thinking that the tremoring is gone for now because of that one steady hand and is now trying to clip a monitor on Reader's right hand to check their blood oxygen (pulse oximeter): "Do keep still, there are a few more tests I must run."

Reader: "I'm not shaking it."

Segment: "..."

Reader: "It's erm... yeah."

Understandably, the Segment checking up on them is low-key freaking out because: why is that happening?? What's causing that?!

Meanwhile, reader who is also freaking out but is batting it away with humour, looking at their severely quacking hand: "Hm... I kinda need that... Ah, well, I guess I have an organic stipple pen now... that *is* what they're called, right?"

Then for the rest of the day (while the segments and prime are trying to find the root cause of that abnormality) reader is coping by joking around with said hand.

Reader: *picks up a test tube with shaking hand, the hand swirls the contents with minimal effort* "Oh! Wait— that sorta works? That's very convenient, actually."

Zandik, stressed: "My dear, get back on the gurney before I place you there myself." (Is worried that they might spontaneously collapse)

Shaky hands were nothing that new to you, having lived with them for a while due to your illness and all the stress that came with it. In the beginning, you tried to ignore them, but after a few accidents, you came to terms with the fact it'd be easier for everyone if you let the segments deal with your tasks. Especially on days when it seemed to be worse than others. But of course, there are times when no one can predict how bad it can get. This being one such moment.. Sometimes it gets to the point where ironically enough the Harbinger outwardly shows more concern for your wellbeing rather than you. (Although he's gotten used to you coping with jokes, he can easily see through that. He doesn't want you to put up a front around him but perhaps this makes you feel better? Unfortunately, the only one who laughs at your jokes is yourself... The others are too busy with their nose in some of your records or a machine.) And although they can't exactly make the tremors go away, the least they can do is make sure you don't need to do anything strenuous. Yes, their almost forceful instructions seem restricting, but they always say it's for the best.

#smooches talks #dottore love notes <3 #fragile reader <3 #ive been going through some old asks but can we just pretend they happened recently! #anyway... very cute anon thank you for this!!! #i love the part where reader imitates dottore 😭 so cute #this is short only bc im not very knowledgeable abt this... ANON I REALLY DID LOVE THIS THOUGH

episode 5 thoughts!

heartbroken by no mat, but i was expecting it since min wasn't credited for this episode on imdb, and there was so much other amazing stuff going on, so i can cope. i do think they must be gearing up for a mat-heavy episode soon because his content has been so sparse thus far! we also didn't have lan this episode, which i'm good with since he got so much last week.

(minor imdb casting spoiler: ayoola isn't listed for ep6, so i'm guessing we may have no perrin next week. they definitely do have a lot of different groups to juggle! but IF mat & lan soon join the cairhien crew, we could condense things)

also sad at not much elayne, but again, the remaining episodes will probably be pretty big for her! same with egwene, that storyline didn't progress as fast as i'd thought it would in this episode, but OOF the preview for next week looks like A Lot!!

back to the beginning! falme looks SO COOL!!! and the opening scene with the seanchan was fantastic, it showed off so many different aspects of their culture in just a few minutes (namely their various Ceremonial Things and ideas of who's allowed to speak to whom)

lanfear just whispering "bitch" the second she revives killed me djkfjg what an icon. and we get confirmation that it is indeed the True Power that she used to revive herself.

Lanfear Unleashed is SO much fun oh my god, i love seeing her in full forsaken mode

moiraine telling rand that he can't sleep because lanfear will get him, girl don't tell him that he's going to internalize it and not sleep for the next 6 seasons. this season is really Wheel Of Time Origins: Rand's Various Emotional, Mental, and Physical Health Problems

elyas saying the ef5 aren't perrin's pack HOW DARE!!! i feel like they're making elyas even more standoffish/human-averse than he was in the books, which makes for an interesting dynamic and contributes to perrin's sense that his human & wolf sides can't coexist.

but hopper follows perrin!!!! the goodest boy!!!!!

AVIENDHA IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE'S EVERYTHING!!!!! although ngl her fake accent does sound a bit Fake to me lmao but i'm sure i'll get used to it after a few more scenes

hot dain bornhald is also here! he kinda compels me and i'm furious about it. if whitecloak why hot? in all seriousness, i can see already from his intro episode + the basics of his book story that he has the potential to be quite an interesting character if fleshed out more and given more screentime compared to what he had in the books, sort of a liandrin-and-alanna-like Main Secondary Whitecloak for us to follow

also he totally wants to fuck perrin you can't change my mind. buying him drinks and giving him a Cute Nickname, boy you ain't subtle! and then aviendha briefly hits on perrin later and also perrin stops her from killing dain. wake up babe, insane new WOT polycule just dropped djkfjfg

OB!!!! FREAKING!!!! SESSED!!!!!!!! with verin's detective subplot!!!! it is SO much fun, it delivers a ton of great exposition (namely about the black ajah), and it gives us a bigger peek into the brown ajah than the books ever did. i love this squad!! also katie leung was probably my first Girl Crush (not that i was aware of it) when i was like 8 so i was thrilled to see her show up here, god bless

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT GAVE US CONFIRMATION THAT GAWYN EXISTS IN SHOWVERSE!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH when i tell you i came extremely close both to screaming and to falling off my bed!!!! i'd been hoping for a gawyn namedrop all season but having it here was SO unexpected! my current theory is that he'll be introduced in caemlyn next season along with elaida and galad, and all 3 of them will head to tar valon to look for elayne because they're worried after not hearing from her for a long time.

also now i want a fic where the wondergirls actually do get special permission from mommy morgase to leave the tower just so that they can attend gawyn's birthday party

anyway, someday gawyn and egwene are going to kiss with tongue onscreen and haters can die mad about it <3 oooh now i have a brand-new meetcute for them to look forward to since they didn't meet at the tower!

liandrin & nynaeve's convo in the ways was so good! they continue to do amazing work with that relationship and liandrin's character. AND WHEN SHE SUBTLY FREED THE GIRLS RIGHT BEFORE LEAVING HOLY SHIT i gasped!!!!! the LAYERS they have given this character!!! because yes she serves the dark BUT she still feels loyalty to her sisters (as seen in s1 too when she appeared genuinely upset over kerene's death) and can't stomach the thought of any of them, even the light-serving ones, being collared!

suroth saying with her whole chest "oh sure you're a forsaken but you're not even of the blood soooooo" god grant me her confidence. also another great illustration of the insane heights to which seanchan high blood take their superiority complexes. good god, what's tuon gonna be like?!

avi's fight scene was just as amazing as i'd been hoping and expecting!! 10/10 no notes. can't wait to see what she can do when she has weapons at her disposal!

and later avi tells us that she is out in the wetlands Looking For Her Man (that she doesn't yet know is Her Man) <33

moiraine saying "get rand some nice new clothes" and barthanes immediately offering to dress him, Sugar Baby Rand lives on! also, anvaere and barthanes definitely thought rand was moiraine's sugar baby after they cleared the warder possibility, you can't change my mind

also also, barthanes is so surprisingly sweet! i wonder if he'll still be a darkfriend, or if anvaere will be instead

lanfear making ishy dream about caressing rand's face in bed is something i will go insane thinking about every day until i die. like oh my god i don't even know where to START with unpacking that, so i won't even try djfkjg

like for real, they ALL BUT made it explicitly canon that ishy had/has a crush on LTT/rand LMAO it's what we deserve

and we get forsaken namedrops! moghedien, graendal, and "the boys." it could be that semirhage did still make it and lanfear just chose not to go on and on listing every single one (slash the writers wanted to give themselves some leeway in specifically naming forsaken in case they don't get enough seasons to deal with all of them), or it could be that one of the statues from last season was actually a man and/or stepin's statues aren't accurate, and we've got 5 men instead of 4 (in which case i'd imagine ishy, asmodean, sammael, demandred, and rahvin)

i'm gonna have to watch this ishy & lanfear scene again to pick up more because i was FAR too distracted by the initial homoeroticism to keep focusing lmao

aww i'm kinda sad not to get elayne & nynaeve hiding out in falme completely on their own, but for their sakes it's nice they've found (been found by) some Real Adults to help!

LANFEAR'S OUTFIT IN THE END SCENE LMAO this season really just went off the WALLS with horniness and kinkiness, and i am here for it. it's what rj would've wanted

now that moiraine and rand are indeed staying in cairhien after all, i really think we might get a cauthor reunion next episode!!!! fingers crossed!!!!

You know? I can't help but find it funny how there are some people in fandom who think that darkfic, whump, k*nk, or anything that's not normal, mainstream, or 100% wholesome means there's either something VERY wrong with the author mentally and/or they're just a terrible person. I mean, I KNOW someone irl who talks like this. Sometimes it catches me off guard hearing them suddenly rant about the problematic elements of fanfic and whatnot. This same person even told me I can go ahead and enjoy my time in prison because I didn't think Crowley from GOs was a r*pist for kissing Aziraphale (yes, they went on a whole rant about how this demon is a terrible person and how pissed they are over him being presented as good because he kissed Azi at an awkward moment, which yes was inappropriate and impulsive, but I wouldn't say this case makes Crowley a bad person).

In other words, p*ritans.

Now what do I find funny about it? My personal experience doesn't match what they're saying. I was thinking about it at work a couple days ago. About how some of the most deranged people I met irl are into some very wholesome/non-controversial/no conflict media and present themselves as VERY normal on the outside. I'm not saying it's everyone with these tastes. Just a coincidence I noticed with some people I've known personally. I thought they were normal, perfectly safe people at first. Albeit the gut feeling they gave me. And they ended up having lots of unresolved issues and came from toxic childhoods. They were control freaks and had tons of manipulative and toxic behaviors. I'm still recovering from meeting them.

Meanwhile, my childhood friend is one of the most chill people I know. And she is also into stuff that is kind of dark and likes whump. So do I! We used to rp this stuff together. We've known each other for fifteen years and I still feel very happy whenever I spend time with her or talk to her. She's a pretty decent person, despite her fanfic interests.

And yes, I do have my own issues and come from a toxic background. I use fanfic to help me cope with that. Ofc, I write cute, fluffy fics as well. And have story ideas that can be considered "normal." But I don't think liking whump makes me a bad person.

Child Alters are not always "Sweet and Innocent"

Sorry if this comes off rude or inflammatory, we're pretty blurry and this is something we've seen in syscourse allllll over Tumblr and instagram and what have you. This topic came up in our System Server which is what inspired us to create this post. (the system support server is still open to new members, FYI, hence me linking it there lol)

I think there's a really really big misconception that all child parts (also called "littles" but we usually say "child parts/alters" or "kid parts/alters" for our own comfort) are so sweet and UwU innocent in every single system ever and that if you don't treat child alters like literal children you are a BAD system and you don't respect child alters!!! Protect the children!!! *insert sobbing emoji*

So it should go without saying, obviously you should protect child alters. You should protect any alters in your system. But there's more to child alters than "UwU sweet babies who are so innocent and do silly little things like spend money on candy and stuffies haha!"

(TW ahead for mentions of suicide, s/h, and NSFW related topics. I'm sure you can see where this is going.)

There are child alters who:

function better than most adult alters in a system. We have child alters who can drive, who can send work emails, who have gone to work, etc. They have far more maturity than a lot of parts in our system and have been around the longest out of most of us. Do they still sometimes sound or talk like a kid? Yeah. Do they still enjoy kid things? Yeah! But they share an adult brain and are perfectly capable of functioning and masking just like any other part in the system.

are persecutors. I don't mean like "this child alter won't listen to me" or "they're a brat haha!" I mean persecutor child alters that actively harm the body, actively harm physical property outside of the body, actively harm parts inside the inner world, etc. They can have rage issues, they can be incredibly depressed, they can be suicidal or desire self harm activities. They are just as capable as any other alter to pick up a bottle of alcohol and drink until blackout drunk. Just because they look like a kid internally does not mean they are sweet and cute and innocent all the time.

are very hypersexual. Do I think that you should let them do sexual things with adults? In our system, no, we don't allow that. However, I can't control how other system young alters cope because I'm not in their head. Yes, child alters can be hypersexual. This is often a result of trauma. They will often want to reenact their trauma memories. They might get you into dangerous situations with strangers. They might have risky sex. They might masturbate in extremely painful ways in order to reenact their trauma. Child alters are not perfectly abstinent little babies who don't know what sex is. If they have sexual trauma, they will likely NOT know proper boundaries with adults and they can put you in a risky sexual situation just as much as literally any other alter in the system.

are protectors. gatekeepers, or caretakers. Child alters don't just have to sit there and be "stereotypical kids" all the time. They don't have to sit and wallow in trauma or play with their toys in the inner world 24/7. A lot of highly capable young alters want to do something to help the system. If they didn't already "come" with their job (for example, gatekeepers often 'come' with that label when they split/form, but not always) it's perfectly normal for them to step into a more "useful" role in the system. For those of you who have EVER worked with younger kids, they freaking LOVE to help. They love to feel useful and help out. This is the exact same in a system. We have child caretakers. And that's something they chose, we didn't "force" them.

And the thing is......something a lot of people don't want to hear.............sometimes alters (of any age) have to do roles or jobs they don't like. I know, bonkers isn't it. Sometimes nobody else is suited for a job like another alter is. We have parts who are really good at being emotionally level. Do they like fronting a lot? No! However, if we're in a highly emotional situation, out they go. Or we have another part who's really good at handling our chronic pain and taking care of the body. Does he like it? No, why would you want to feel chronic pain all the damn time? However, he knows he's the best at the job and does it anyway. Like any team in the external world, there's just going to be some jobs that some folks don't like but will have to do anyway. Does that mean they have to be stuck doing that job forever? No! Things change in systems all the time, roles should never be locked in for life. Sometimes new splits happen or new alters are discovered who do the job even better or even prefer to do the jobs nobody else likes. However, it's absolutely ridiculous to assume that all parts love their job, and that doesn't exclude child parts. We know systems with child gatekeepers who don't like their job, but that's all they've ever known and they wouldn't be comfortable letting anyone else do their job. Which is totally fine and valid. I don't think I've ever met a gatekeeper of any age who likes their job, they just do it. It just is.

Idk it just puts a bad taste in my mouth to see SO MANY posts infantilizing child alters everywhere. And I do want to say that I'm not trying to invalidate those sweet and innocent child alters! They are totally cool and awesome and so valid! We have a couple of those too! However, I feel like nobody ever talks about the fact that child alters are not innocent babies all the time, that MOST child alters are incredibly traumatized individuals and are just as capable of being toxic OR helpful as any other part in the system.

Darlin~! Best wishes and air kisses!

Just hear me out, I know it's nowhere near ANY gift giving season but I had a thought that went "what do i even get floyd that he won't get bored of for at least 5 minutes? *sarcastically* Socks? Wait *seriously* SOCKS! He's a shoes freaks!"

I just have to get him the absolute FUNKIEST socks I can find. This isn't even a cope-out gift. I genuinely believe fun socks are the key to happiness.

Eel socks sounds like a no brainer but what if i got him something else... Frog socks...Golfish socks... Lace socks? Nah those feel weird. Don't recommend.

Am I onto something or am I way off?

Love , V <3

rubbing my hands together evilly bc of darlin' /pos

NO BECAUSE...........I ACTUALLY HAVE A JADE LEECH ONESHOT IN THE WORKS AND THE READER MENTIONS HAVING SOCKS WITH SHRIMPS ON THEM THAT FLOYD GAVE THEM. SO I 1000000000000% AGREE.

pretty sure azul would scold him (even though it doesn't matter because azul can't control what they do) for wearing those socks in the mostro lounge because they're "not part of the dress code" and "don't look professional." maybe floyd just wants to wear his silly little fluorescent pink socks with surgeonfish on them!!! >:(((

he would wear the goldfish socks just to terrorize riddle. if you got him shrimp socks he would love them forever. and little moray socks??? not only would i lose my shit if someone gave those to me but floyd would too.

honestly i think floyd might like the knitted socks and lacy socks too, just to try out different textures. he might get bored of them and never touch them for like a month before realizing "omg i should wear those again!!!!!!!!!! :D" and then he does.

you're definitely onto something!!

also i love how you signed this ask with "love, v <3" :((( thats so cute

Duck does 100% care for Yellow Guy even if he's a twit: an incoherent ramble written by a Duck apologist. (Now under a read more because I know how to do that now!)

Quick note: this post may use ideas discussed in and was inspired by this post:

In Jobs, Yellow Guy acting strange and aging at an alarming rate is what gets Duck to break out of the world. Duck is a creature of habit. When things are as they always are, he feels safe. And when his friends are acting as they always are, he feels both he and they are safe. To Duck, the fact that Yellow Guy has changed so drastically from what he knows of him is a clear sign that something is wrong. This is a trend throughout the series for Duck to see things are wrong when his friends are acting off, as mentioned in the linked post.

Duck also freaked the fuck out when Yellow had an accident, and he went to get the med kit to save him the best he could! Even when Yellow's changed almost beyond recognition, Duck doesn't want him to get hurt.

In the Memories song, it's mentioned that Duck A) Told Yellow Guy about the military, and B) Told him he was far too weak to join. I'm gonna be slightly autistic for a second because all these puppets are bloody autistic, but Duck explaining his interests to Yellow Guy is a sure sign that Duck likes and trusts Yellow Guy. Now, when Duck said Yellow was too weak to join. That's mean, right? Well, yes. But think about it: Yellow's not shown any actual signs of physical weakness throughout the series, so chances are Duck is talking out of his ass. Why? Because the military is dangerous! And Duck doesn't want Yellow to get hurt! But Duck doesn't want to express that openly, so he hides it behind insults!

The. Entire. Family. Episode. Duck labels Yellow as the pet because this boy can't help himself, he has to poke fun. But of course this still means Duck considers Yellow part of his family! And he really doesn't want Yellow to leave him, along with Red of course but this ain't about him. Duck is uneasy the whole time they're at the twins' house because his friends are being changed, but less of their actions and more their role is being changed. They're going into a role away from Duck. Then Duck sings the family song, where he's clearly struggling to cope with the loneliness of not having the other two around. He misses them so dearly already, and he tries to convince himself he can live without them and it's heartbreaking, this bird loves his friends and has nobody else and never has had anyone else because there's three of them! Then at the end of the episode Duck asks what happened to the other family, showing a modicum of concern for what happened with Yellow while he was gone!

Not as much to say about Friendship, but he and Red both make Warren stick around because they want to help get Yellow back, and at the end Duck sings that song to Yellow along with Red to reassure him they don't hate him and they're still his friends. Sure, there's the fight at the end, but that was mostly for comedic effect lol.

(Nothing to say about Transport but it's cute how Duck and Yellow scream in tandem when the clipboard is insulted.) EDIT: After Red Guy says that he hates the clipboard and hates the house and Yellow Guy expresses distress, Duck goes to reassure him "he doesn't mean that." EDIT TWO: Duck resting his head on Yellow's shoulder for a moment. This has me thinking, Red's acting kinda weird in this episode, causing Duck to view Yellow as the more stable one at least temporarily. This isn't expressed much since Duck's kinda checked out for most of the episode but I think it might be the case.

Electricity. Oh boy. This one def got people a bit miffed at Duck, and for good reason. He did steal Yellow's accommodations that he needs. But he was also the one to give the new batteries to him in the first place, out of concern about the condition of the old batteries. Duck took them away later because he was scared. When his friends act different, something goes wrong. And Yellow is acting very, very different. In fact, Duck likely thought Yellow's intelligence would get him hurt eventually! Because he's acting wrong, and that means something worse than what usually happens is going to happen to him. Listen to Duck, he's so upset and stressed. He doesn't know what's going to happen. Is Yellow going to get sick of them and leave? Is he going to get hurt for not following the rules of this world? Is he going to get killed for it? Duck isn't malicious. He's anxious, he's traumatized. And he was happy to have Yellow back to normal and shredding things at the end. He was happy his friend was back to normal and everything worked out okay. EDIT THREE: Duck asking Red about Yellow in the fridge scene too, he hasn't forgotten about his other friend

Not from the TV series, but Duck and Red saving Yellow the last boiled egg from the chicken picnic because they love him. That one's pretty straightforward and sweet.

Lastly, the It's Nice That interview. Dubiously canon, but in it, Duck responds to the question "Who do you love?" with "Anyone who loves me back." Look at Yellow. Yellow definitely, absolutely loves Duck. And so, Duck must love him too.

(I ask that you don't tag or comment on this as a direct father/son relationship, I respect your headcanon, but this post assumes Yellow Guy is an adult and the DHMIS trio doesn't do strict nuclear family dynamics. Thanks for reading!)

Okay so I saw the one ask about Red Son using a Glamor to hide his true form like photoshop and it made me want to share my own thought on Red Son's true form

How about when DBK was sealed away under the mountain Red Son realized how much his features make him look like his father, the floppy ears, horns, the tail, it's all from his father and it makes him feel even worse when he notices his mother staring at them or even sometimes makes her unable to look at him.

Red Son can no longer look himself in the mirror at a young age so he begins to think of ways to hide them, he wears more mortal type clothing to hide his tail, grows his hair long to hide his ears, and he came too close to cutting away his horns until he found out he could use a glamor to hide it all.

Now he focuses on looking more like his mother, growing out his hair but he has to tie it up because the heat of his skin and corse hair (another thing from his father) on his neck becomes uncomfortable, and wearing more extravagant clothing though as he gets older his wardrobe becomes suited for manual labor in his garage.

Flash forward to releasing DBK who sees his son now looking nothing like him and he takes that personally, he feels unwelcomed by Red Son which in this headcanon can be used to explain why DBK acts cold towards Red Son in season 1. Of course DBK and PIF are a power couple so soon enough PIF realizes DBK's behavior towards their son and she explains how it happed after he was trapped, that she didn't know what to do because her grief got in the way and once she was able to address Red Son's choices she relized this was how Red Son coped with the loss of his father and now that she was able to emotionally connect with Red Son on a stronger level PIF didn't want to dig up old scars that Red Son found a way to heal.

Now neither of them know how to talk to their son about this, DBK has been out of the game for centuries, he missed out learning who Red Son is and PIF has grown accustom to letting herself and Red Son bottle up their emotions.

And omg I have to stop here or else I will write you an entire book cause I almost derailed into the inner workings of the Bull family.

Anyways, hope you'll like this and are able to add your own thoughts on it

YES!! AGH MY HEART!

SWK talking to Mei and MK about the journey and Red Boy and him asking why the kid doesn’t have his horns anymore.

Cue Mei and MK being like 'wait HORNS?' both of them crashing into him asking questions with starry eyes and Red freaking the fuck out because 'No, no can't show those it'll just upset mother it'll just upset him seeing those features in the mirror of his father whose gone and'

Him having a total panic attack, Mei and MK freaking out and calming Red down and when he tries to bottle it up again they're like NO NOPE.

Them getting the truth out of him and then'...but your dads free now why not start not using the glamor?'

Red not wanting to drop it...at least around his parents but... when he's with Mei and MK him slowly starting to show his horns and ears and tail (MK and Mei reaction every time are 'THIS IS SO CUTE IT'S NOT FAIR AGH')

Eventually Mei and MK are hanging out with Red and his glamor’s down because he's just used to dropping it around them when his parents walk in and just... all of them freeze, Red is internally screaming and about to use the glamor and apologise but... DBK and PIF just runs up and hugs him before he can finish.

What I want to see in season 6 of Miraculous Ladybug

New costumes for the main heroes. That little bell can go since Adrien now lives happily with his mother and Nathalie. And I'm seriously dead tired of Ladybug's onesie pyjama that she calls her super hero outfit. It's a onesie pyjama. She looks like she's going to a pyjama party with a mask and gonna do some yo-yo tricks while at it. The upgrade she gets whenever she uses Lucky Charm is better, but also always temporary, which sucks because it looked a bit more mature and well thought. I'd like to see some red in her hair maybe and ditch the pigtails, sure she had them in honor of Socqueline but she needs her own style now.

Less focus on Marinette and Adrien, the other characters can shine more, given now everyone had permanently their miraculouses, I'd like to see how the class live with their kwamis all the time, and see what kind of cute relationship they have. Don't freaking tell me that they're not gonna show us the rest of the team more after being permanent, I would scream so hard.

Ryuko, Rooster Bold, Caprikid, Miss Hound and Minautaurox transformations scenes.

More Julerose.

More Natharc.

Little closer circles of friends in the Miraculous Team, like Rooster Bold, Miss Hound, Caprikid and Minautaurox being all besties because they all joined at the same time so they quickly latched onto each others more, and Miss Hound and Minautaurox shipping Rooster Bold and Caprikid together. Purple Tigress, Pigella, Polymouse and Vesperia being another quatuor of close friends as they were all chosen quickly one after the others. Viperion, Ryuko, Bunnyx, King Monkey and Pegasus being a quintet. Some fun competetion between all of the groups maybe. Of course, Carapace, Rena Rouge, Ladybug and Chat Noir are the 4 mains maybe, and they are splitted in 2 with Rena and Carapace together and Ladybug and Chat Noir on the other, still all close. Felix maybe being an odd duck among all of them, yet is still closest to Ryuko.

Felix having to work hard to be trusted completely. Maybe still face punishment in an unusual way, like having to transfer to Françoise-Dupont in the class to learn social etiquette or something else.

Lila telling the truth to Adrien about his father and showing her proofs.

Adrien freaking out over it and maybe breaking up with Marinette over it because how could she keep all of those secrets from him when they concerns him the most?

Adrien and Kagami being told they're sentimonsters.

Kagami freaking out over it too.

Character arc about Adrien, Felix and Kagami coping with being magically created humans via magic feathers.

Lila being better at being a a villain than Gabriel ever was.

Cooler villains, with great names and looks and powers.

At least one episode where everyone swaps miraculouses, the shenanigans and who gets which miraculous are endless combinations. Hell maybe one where we could see briefly everyone wielding each of the miraculous at least once, maybe via Second Chance, by that I mean the team having to swap miraculous each time it doesn't work until the find the loop that works.

The Tsurugi family's background and origin story.

Lila's real origin story.

Power ups for the entire miraculous team, and even Lila too as Chrysalis, can't believe Gabriel could have gotten power ups and never used them after getting the translations of the Grimoire.

More Luka and Juleka siblings moments,

More Adrien friendships moments with the rest of the class outside of Marinette and Nino, and also outside Kitty Section too.

Adrien and Kagami joining Kitty Section as permanent members.

Nathalie and Tomoe having their crimes revealed by Lila and them being arrested.

Chloé coming back later and having changed from having to live with her mother and expectations and none of her previous power.

Seeing what the Miraculous Team looks like in Adult!Bunnyx timeline.

Maybe new unifications if something happens to someone on the team, and not having just Ladybug and Chat Noir use them, I could see Kagami with the Dragon and Tiger.

Seeing more family members, like where the heck are Nino's parents after 5 seasons? Or Kim's 2 dads I think? Rose's parents could also be neat. Marc's and Nathaniel's too.

The Order of the Guardians being more there.

Alternate universe/timelines where Marinette and Adrien are either evil, or not Ladybug and Chat Noir, or are Mister Bug and Lady Noire since the beginning, or any other miraculous they could have.

Sabrina making up for following Chloé's lead for so long and getting close for real with the rest of the class.

New school year with Zoé, Kagami and Marc joining the class?

Everyone getting kwamigatas or whatever the little necklaces Marinette, Adrien and Alix have from their kwamis.

The heroes using their necklaces to talk to past holders again.

Chat Noir getting new powers.

Remember everyone that I'm listing what I WOULD LIKE TO SEE in season 6, NOT listing everything that will happen in it.

I really love those two and I know they'll be together again but part of me feels so bad for them for having to be apart for so much time ("at least a few weeks" it's a fvcking lot). I wonder how will reader process al this information when she's away from all of this. I wonder what will happen with dispute of donnie and his (not) brothers.

I WONDER IF THE BASTARD IS SPLINTER OR IT'S THE TURTLES. I GOT THE DOUBT AND LOOKING IT UP IN GOOGLE TRANSLATE ONLY CONFUSED ME MORE.

Boo! Identity Update! I'm also being a mean queer!

So, if anyone seeing this didn't know, My name used to be Miller but I was disowned by the family member who gave me that family name so..... I decided I didn't want to keep it.

I'm going by Michelangelo or just Mica for short now.

I used to identify as a transmasc nonbinary guy but I've found out recently some things about myself and I'm bored of that now.

I found out that I have an intersex condition. One of my alters was told a little while ago and just forgot to make it public within the system.

Before finding out I had been reconnecting with my femininity. While I want to medically transition, I no longer think of myself as just transmasc so I'm dropping the label.

I liked nonbinary as it's a functional umbrella term but honestly? I think I'm going to also label myself as a hermaphrodite.

With everything going on in my country right now I could honestly give less shits about using language that doesn't hurt your precious feelings so if me saying hermaphrodite scares you, suck it up butter cup. I'm here and I'm a dykefag. Cope.

I feel like I'm both a girl that grew into a guy and a guy that grew into a girl while being neither at the same time. I don't really want to use bigender or boygirl or androgynous because, sure they sound nice and the flags are pretty, but I want a label for myself that makes people feel a little uncomfortable at first. Both in and out of my community.

I sort of want these sanitized kids who are like "ALL GENDERS ARE VALID" to REALLY think about what they're saying. Do they actually believe that and not feel threatened by me reclaiming this word for myself or are they actually lying to themselves about what they stand for?

I want cis people who are in the LGBT+ community be a little squicked at first while they get used to it because god knows cis people dont get a single say in how I chose to label my identity.

I want allys and people who aren't in the community to look at this identity and feel awkward or uncomfortable.

I want to weed out people that the community shouldn't trust by how I'm treated for a label I'm reclaiming.

I'm no longer pansexual either. The flag is still cute as hell IMO but now I'm identifying with just being sexually queer. My attraction to anyone feels like male attraction, female attraction, and Other attraction all at the same time.

When I'm with a man I feel like a gay man, a straight woman, and an nbspec person being attracted all at the same time, for example.

Same thing for women and nonbinary people.

Gender isn't a factor in my attraction because I feel homosexual in the relationship regardless; its queer.

I'm queer and I want to be unapologetically queer because of the genocide going on in my country right now. I want overly sanitized children to widen their world view, I want to be visible for people who are closeted. I want to be a weirdo in public that weird kids see and feel less alone in the world. I want to be a freak in public that other adults see and are inspired by, even a little bit.

I don't want to be clean or PC. Nothing about what's happening is Clean or PC. We're all the enemy to these fuckers who want us dead, they don't see a difference in how we label ourselves. But if we're going to successfully fight these oppressors you can't be policing identities.

I don't fucking care if you don't understand it. You don't have to understand someone to respect them. Just get over yourself and move on and focus on the big problem that's being faced right now here in the USA as well as other countries going through the same shit.

If you want community, if you want family, if you want to win this fucking fight you better not say JACK FUCKING SHIT to the people who are fighting with you just because they identify with an "outdated" label, or have conflicting genders, or weird pronouns, or are "mspec lesbians, or are "lesbian men".

GET.OVER.IT!

Also, nothing against people who use the labels I've dropped (obviously). They're just not for me anymore.

Would Lucas x Bobby are a good pair? I saw a fic about the two of them dating together and it's kinda cute. What would relationship headcanons look like?

Lucas x Bobby is probably one of the most popular MLM ships in the fandom, and has quite a few works under the relationship tag on ao3! I personally prefer Noah x Bobby and Henrik x Lucas, but I'm not opposed at all to mixing it up (Noah is also generally disliked by the fandom, so I get it), so of course I'll write some headcanons for our dear Bobcas 🤍

Bobby x Lucas Relationship Headcanons

Their romance would totally be a slow-burn, right? I just think they both have a lot of growth and realisations to go through before finding each other. They also definitely need nudging by their friends.

Still, I can see Bobby just being so hopelessly in love he gets drunk one night before showing up at Lucas' door, slurring a confession and kissing Lucas. Lucas would of course sigh a bit and put Bobby to bed to help him sleep it off, but still he can't help but feel flustered... and happy?

The next morning is quite awkward, but it's too late to go back now, and I can see them figuring things out and taking it slow.

Once they're more comfortable with the whole thing, I can definitely see Lucas freaking out a bit over the potential commitment, how his family will react to it etc., whereas Bobby would just be so thrilled and excited. I think Bobby's easygoing nature will help Lucas cope, but it'll be tough at first.

I think they compensate by having the cutest date nights though. Lucas enjoying spoiling Bobby and even letting him go wild in his pristine kitchen (sometimes even helping).

Bobby will be the home maker while Lucas is more focused on work, which works for them as Lucas is usually too tired to put in much effort at home.

Lucas will definitely want Bobby to be tidier and more organised though – and he'll never admit to finding the chaos/mess charming

They could potentially hit some rough patches as Bobby doesn't always prioritise his partner in a relationship, and Lucas needs reassurances and complete dedication to feel comfortable once he's decided to commit.

If they can talk through those issues and actively work on them though, I can see them making it work.

[jerzwriter]

It was so hard not to put all the emojis.

I managed to pick these. For all your 6 main characters please.

💥💢🌙🎭💧

Ann! OMG, knowing me, I'd freaking do it. 🤣🤣🤣 🤡

OK let me pop an Adderall and start this lol (That list has my ADHD like WHOA lol )

💥COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with? Going for the jugular from the start, lol OK, let's do this.

Ethan/Kaycee: Ethan, it's self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. Not professionally. There he's a cocky mofo lol But personally? He doubts he'll be "good enough" for Kaycee. There is a certain element of being unable to trust, too; but, Kaycee helps him put that at ease very early on in their relationship.

Kaycee is very put together. She copes very well with most emotions. However, fear of loss can plague her, and when they're bad, it can become debilitating. I trace this back to when her mother came close to death when she was a child, then the attack, and even Ethan's indecision at the start. I HC that she really falls apart in the future when her mother dies. It's a very, very difficult period.

Tobias/Casey: Tobias is so damned self-assured, and he has this blase "OK, so that's in the past, let it go" attitude for himself and everyone else. But, he can struggle a lot with the fear of losing Casey and, later, his girls. His father's early passing and the chemical attack feed that, and when Casey nearly dies giving birth to their third daughter, he is pushed over the edge. He's very protective of his wife and daughters, and he tries to keep this in check, but its a struggle.

Casey struggles with insecurity at some points in her life. Not always; in general, she's very confident and self-assured. But when her anxiety is triggered, her logical mind is not in control, and she can spiral. This is at its peak after the chemical attack but, ironically, after her near-death experience delivering Kayla, she becomes much more at ease.

Eli/Zoe: It's fear of loss and guilt for both of them. They've both lost so much and live in a world where you're almost expected to lose everyone. After his family's deaths and before meeting Zoe, Eli's coping mechanism was extreme withdrawal and isolation. He moves beyond that, but the fear never leaves him. He doesn't know if he could survive losing Zoe.

Zoe's coping mechanism is to find the reason to go on, the people, the things, the cause, to make life worth living regardless of the loss, but Ana's death wounds her deeply. Like Eli, she doesn't know if she could withstand losing him, yet they both know it's a very real possibility.

There is also so much guilt there because his whole family died, and he didn't. And the circumstances surrounding that will haunt him until the day he dies. Ana also has guilt. She feels if her name wasn't on the list, they wouldn't have had to flee The Tower, and Ana would still be alive. Ana sacrificed everything for Zoe, and she doesn't reap any rewards. This is very hard for both of them to cope with.

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?

Ethan/Kaycee: Ethan still has anger issues with others at times but doesn't tend to get angry with Kaycee except when she isn't taking care of herself or he feels she's putting herself at risk. That will lead to a fight.

Kayce gets angry when Ethan is inflexible or being too harsh in his judgment of others. It's usually not directed at her, but she doesn't like seeing it, especially when it's not warranted. (It can be with family/friends, definitely at work).

Tobias/Casey: After initially thinking it was funny/cute/harmless, dealing with Casey's initial insecurity/jealousy is an issue. Tobias eventually says she has to trust him, or they won't work. He doesn't want to lose her, but he's willing to walk if they can't work it out.

Casey gets annoyed because he nitpicks when it comes to his cars and her driving (which is very good, by the way). At times, he can also be too overprotective, and that ticks her off. While never with her, he can be slow to forgive others, and that can get her upset.

Eli/Zoe: Eli was so used to being on his own - so adjusting to life with a partner, friends, and a whole colony of people is not always easy. Sometimes it can be overwhelming, and he can become flustered/angered. He also learns to be open with Zoe very quickly, IMO, but there are times he can still have his guard up, and that can cause issues between them. Sometimes, it's Eli needing to do more work; sometimes, it's Zoe needing to be more understanding.

Zoe is always looking at the glass as half-full, but she can be too trusting, and sometimes, that can cause her pain. Still, she continues to trust. This can drive Eli insane, especially since nothing upsets him more than seeing her upset or in peril.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

Ethan/Kaycee: After coming together, their greatest wish is to have a happy life together and, in time, with Emma. Everything else is secondary. They are willing to make adjustments to their life, including their professional lives, to accommodate this.

Tobias/Casey: Honestly, it's the same as Ethan & Kaycee's.

Eli/Zoe: Eli just wants them to be safe, alive, and to take time to enjoy each other every day. He will do anything for this. Zoe wants the same, but she is on a constant quest to escape the dangers of the world she's in. It is good - but problematic - because she isn't likely to ever get exactly what she wants (life before the outbreak), but if she could, oh, she'd do almost anything to obtain it.

🎭 MASKS - do they act differently around certain people? what's different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.?

I am OBSESSED with this question - even IRL - because we all wear 1,000 masks, we are not the same to every person, and I am OBSESSED. lol (Billy Joel's song "The Stranger" is a favorite)

Ethan/Kaycee: Ethan is VERY different with different people. He is at his truest self with Kaycee, Emma, Naveen, and Alan, but he guards that in front of others like mad. He gets along with Kaycee's friends, but he will still never be 100% at ease with them. Likewise, he rebuilds a friendship with Tobias, but he maintains that level of sarcasm as a protective mechanism to a certain degree. He remains a curmudgeonly ass in the hospital lol

Kaycee is very what you see is what you get, but she is more reserved at work and around people, she isn't entirely comfortable with.

Tobias/Casey: Tobias & Casey are pretty much who they are. They're comfortable in their skin, and they don't adjust that mask too often. Still, they're more reserved in some situations (esp after their girls are born), and it takes a lot for either of them to not like (really not like) someone, but if they don't... oh, watch out. They cannot even be bothered to put on a game face. They'll know it, and the Tobias/Casey that person knows isn't even a resemblance to the one everyone else does.

Eli/Zoe: I will die on this hill: Eli Sipes is NOT the stoic/closed-off/emotionally void person we meet in canon. All of that is a response to extreme trauma. Proof? How quickly he changes - He goes from "STAY AWAY ZOE!" to "Look, you're worth the risk" within a month's time. I really think as time goes on and he adjusts to being loved by Zoe and having a new "family" in their friends and colony, he will be a very different Eli. Class clown, not really (though he does have a wicked sense of humor and loves a good practical joke - especially if it's played on Troy), but with that said, he will always, always, always be much more at ease with Zoe than with anyone else in the world. He'll have all these circles around him. Zoe is the only one in the center; he's still a lot more chill with those in the next circle, but not as much, and so on. By the time you get to the outer core, he's pretty much the Eli we met.

Zoe is very much who she is... but... she doesn't show her vulnerability to everyone. The people who see it the most? Eli, Troy, and Ana before she died. Shannon and Angel do too, but not as much. She also works to try to show some of that to the children that surround her, to let them know it's OK to be vulnerable at times, but it's a struggle.

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon

Ethan/Kaycee: You know what's weird, outside of AU's (where I will be brutal lol) I don't have much angst for them in my HC. I think the roughest parts will be dealing with infertility, and dealing with the deaths of their loved ones.

Tobias/Casey: *sigh* When Casey nearly dies after Kayla's birth, Tobias falls apart. He blames himself. She didn't want another child, and even though Kayla was unplanned, she knew how much Tobias wanted more children, so he blames himself. If she had died, I don't know if he could have gone on. He barely does, and it takes a few people to really snap him back into reality while Casey is still very, very ill. (This period is gonna be rough, and I can't wait to write it.)

Eli/Zoe: I have two AUs in mind; in each of them, one doesn't make it. They are ANGSTY AS FUCK, but I can't bring myself to do these things to them in HC. lol

For now (because I'm still developing it), I them coming to terms with his family's death - and her with Ana's - and them trying to help each other assuage the guilt/grief they carry. I also have some pretty angsty pregnancy ideas... but still being thought out. And a potential storyline where someone from one of their pasts shows up and it threatens to tear Eli & Zoe apart.

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS A LOT lol - Thanks Ann

[theprincessofpowerremake]

can u tell us about some beck fluff??

yeeeeeessum!

beck's magic is, more or less, connected to a tattoo they have. as beck would, for the most part, rather use their magic in more passive situations, their tattoo glows brightly when they create light shows.

( for context - after their family's passing and being rescued from their own most-likely death, beck tattooed themselves with their family's symbol ( a bird-like creature with a rose on it's forehead ). the symbol is meant to represent graceful strength. the tattoo is etched into their chest area, which is the typical spot for the symbol to be placed.

beck doesn't know too much about their family history, due to losing their parents at such a young age, but they desire to find more about their family line, and what being part of the bloodline really means, if it means anything at all.

they're personally not very private with their body, so they have shown their tattoo to others before. and have received a lot of positive attention from it.

but the only one who seemed to have genuinely understood the level of meaning was adora, as she was also unsure of where she came from, who she really is, and desires to know more.

when beck was younger, they'd stare at their tattoo was grief, despite trying to remain "strong". nowadays, beck stares at it with a sad sort of pride. and, in their darkest moments, with righteous fury. )

beck will sometimes put themselves upside down just to be cute. and it works. every time.

beck likes oversized hoodies and, when they can sleep, will most likely be found napping on a couch in a hoodie, holding it like a plush.

they don't like their laugh very much. they think it's too uhh... snort-y and oddly high pitched for their voice. but it's not difficult to make them laugh. they'll just...cover their mouth and stop talking for about an hour afterwards lol

they're very floppy, so they can just sit upside down in a funky way and feel no pain. this freaks out glimmer and bow a lot, but they find it funny.

they like frosta. think the kid's got spunk. post war, they check on the Queen and spend some time with her, typically ending the day holding her while telling stories.

if they were ever in the same universe, beck would take care of kip and izzy. beck's a very kid-y person.

.

some more hurt/comfort related things about them:

after their family's passing, they were not able to walk for a while ( due to scarring on their back ). however, zee was very gentle and patient with them ( which was new, as i hc zee was pretty short-tempered before beck came into their life ), and it lead to beck's life being a little bit brighter during those darker times.

for years, they were scared of afraid of disappointing their family. their arc of revenge is very emotion-heavy and complicated, as beck's motives always seem to be more than you'd think. in the end, they eventually hear what they needed to hear for so long. that they can rest.

during their healing process ( when they're older, not when they are a child ), they discover how to connect to ghosts of the past. it made the pain a lot easier to cope with, knowing they, quite literally, weren't alone.

.

beck is one of my favorite characters that i've made. for me, they have been very therapeutic in a lot of ways, and they've helped me deal with pain in a way that i don't think i could express out in the open without hurting someone i love.

beck's a very raw character for me, as when they show their emotion, it holds a lot of power and energy behind it. that's how i feel, at least.

i can't wait to show beck's story to you guys one day.

i know they're just a fan character to you guys, and that's okay, but they mean the world to me.

this ended up being a little more serious than intended, but i'm alright with that ^^

I can't draw anymore - literally since July I haven't been able to do anything. And the worst part is that I'm still good at drawing. I can start drawing and I know for a fact that I'm fucking incredible at shading and rendering. And I'm actually really fucking good at lineart too. And drawing is like- my thing- my one go to. "Oh what are your hobbies?" I draw. "do you have any coping mechanisms?" escapism and drawing "tell me about yourself" well I draw a lot "whats your dream job" not sure, since I'm not good at decision, but something in an art field, like doing comics, or animation, or a concept artist. I really wanted to be a concept artist once I realized I can't write for shit. That doesn't matter tho, because it been four fucking months and my entire being and personality is slipping through my finger tips because every single time I try to draw k get like up to ten twenty minutes in and immediately hate everything. I can't start drawing because I know I won't be able to finish them- I'll have a great idea and either I won't be able to make myself start it, or I will and I'll get a bit in and I'll make one mistake or get stuck once and all of a sudden I can't look at the drawing without hating it and regretting starting it because really at this point I'm just digging my grave deeper. And I love drawing, I still really do. And I look back at old works and some were shit but some were absolutely stunning and even the shit ones aren't that bad, they're just considerably low effort but they're still really fucking good now, but if I drew them now I know for a fact that I would view them as another nail in the coffin because they're absolute shit and I would hate myself for drawing them... But they're so cute and precious to look at so I know that my art skills aren't the problem, it's just me. I'm looking at all these horseshit pieces of artwork and I love them, but for each and every one would be worth deleting at the current time in space for one reason or another and then I'd devolve into unwarranted self pity agajn and honestly??? This whole this is completely unwarranted and blown out of proportion because like- it's just drawing - it's not something to be freaking out about over - I have bigger things to be worrying about - much bigger and more important and more worrisome things to be breaking down over right now so this is all just incredibly stupid. Still though, Im scrolling through my old Ibis paint gallery and I just miss it, being able to do things like that.
