#things that were intended for an ask

Okay. Okay, I just properly listened to Indigo—I just had it in the background at work so although I got a general feel for the songs, I really wanted a moment to be able to go through the whole album with the lyrics in front of me to actually understand what I was listening to. And thank god I did because there's so much I missed!!

I think my favourite song is still Wild Flower; I loved it a lot when I originally heard it last week, and I love it even more after reading through the lyrics. Forg_tful is a close second right next to Change.

I watched a bit of Suchwita this morning (how do we feel about that btw?? I'm deceased, watching Yoongi like that should be a crime, jesus christ I'm sweating like a nun in a strip club) and Joon had mentioned that Indigo as a whole was like a diary for 2019-2022, and god I feel that? It really comes through in a lot of the themes; the looking back, the moving on, finally processing what's happening and where he's at. It's the kind of "glimpse into the mind of" that I'm always litterally foaming at the mouth for and god damn I love it.

I'm also really impressed by the choice of collaborating artists! Barring Yujin, I think all of them are also older artists? The sample from Yun Hyongkeun is also… personally it feels like it ties in very well with this image of Namjoon that we all have: pensive, introspective, an intelligence that lends itself well to philosophy. I was actually really pleasantly surprised to hear something like that on a track! I know there was a lot of talk about Jungian philosophy and psychology in the two MotS series, so this felt kind of like… a natural extension of that? Really loved it either way, because for those who want to dip their toes into it, those few quotes actually open up a door for dialogue about personal philosophy, moral and ethics. Which yeah of course Mr 148 IQ would have that in there.

After listening to everything I also understand why some people (did Joon say it himself?) say that Indigo as a whole is a little "all over the place", and honestly I fucking love it?? when artists do that?? When they have enough comfort and solidity in their fame and reputation that they take the chance/risk to wander outside of what they've done before. It's made even better knowing that Joon's actually confident in most if not all of the tracks this time around, as opposed to a lot of the uncertainty he admits having with mono. (Which is absurd that mixtape seems to be everyone's go-to therapeutic listen??)

Anyways sorry I'm all over the place I haven't slept much lately but I really wanted to throw this at you because. Because?

Because ilu basically and I like sharing what I think about things with you.

How are you?

I think I love Sanji so extra much because he’d acknowledge my ‘girl-ness’ in a way that I feel like has not ever been acknowledged in a way I wanted it to be wails

The chivalry intended not with hopeful reciprocation but with admiration. WAILS.

#nc111 talks #like growing up the whole concept of ‘being one of the boys’ was so stupid to me #mostly because I had so many guy friends and I was not appreciative of their treatment of me at all #there were definitely times where I wanted to tell them like. hm. I wish you would respect my girlhood a bit more #I love being a woman. I really do #my girlhood is something I keep very close to me. I was very jealous of other girls in my school who exuded that type of femininity #speaking purely from personal experience - just to make that clear #but I like being and being associated with traits that are quite literally stereotypically aligned with Girl-ness #so hard to explain!! but at its core I just love chivalry though lol #one of my friends was like ugh no I’d never want a guy to hold a door open for me just because I’m a girl #‘I’d want them to hold it open because it’s just a kind thing to do’ #and like. yes. core sentiment I totally agree with #but also I Do want to be acknowledged as a girl I spent all of my childhood and teen years having my Girl-ness barely recognised and #it sucked seing the disparity in the treatment #but it also sucked seeing the intent with which these guys treated women chivalrously #which is why Sanji appeals to me. his chivalry is not ill intended or manipulative. ever. and it acknowledges womanhood all the same #OK RAMBLINGGGG #lost the plot. point is I love Sanji because I see him do his little dance while giving Robin a dessert she never had to ask for and I sigh #WISH THAT WERE ME. #edit: none of this matters mostly because I don’t care to date men #but I suppose it’s like. even in my friendships with other girls I feel like there was an inherent establishment that ok so I act as the Guy #And She acts as the girl #when we go out their arms would wrap around mine #and mine never wrapped around theirs. does that make sense #hold their hand as they walked down the stairs in heels. helped them out of cars. you get the image #SANJI WOULD HOLD MY HAND OUT OF A CAR EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him #I’d never have to ask! ah. love chivalry.

i love your art so much it reminds me of medieval manuscripts

Ah, thank you. Had to ask my two associates if my art is really reminiscent of medieval manuscripts and they agreed with this statement. I am a bit surprised, but I’m glad since I did take inspiration from the intricate, medieval aesthetic for the borders I sometimes do for the style. There actually is an individual I follow who has a style much better replicated like this since they’re a souls artist.

#ASKS 💌 #I love adding random things to my works so I’m surprised it came off as intended #but also I always thought the colours were too bright to maintain the mood of said manuscript

Everyone during neverafter 15: oh my god these social interactions are going horribly they’re all doing so bad!

Me, neurodivergent and cannot read social cues: idk mostly these seem fine

#like… Pinocchio overshared for sure #but I didn’t think the rest of them were too bad? like they rolled poorly yes but the actual conversations went fine? I thought? #i at least didn’t think they were as bad as everyone else seems to think #like… with ylfa. when you are a young girl and you meet an older woman who is Like You and successful you are drawn to that #her questions didn’t seem invalid if a bit personal #like ‘how did this happen to u? how do u find the answers and the strength to be successful when your like this the way we are now?’ #that was fair to ask! there was a moment before that where they even clocked eachother as beasts! and then ylfa asked about Pib #which seemed fine to me. like she was genuinely asking advice and she got shutdown with like a one word answer #I feel like la bête did worse in that interaction than ylfa did #none of the stuff with gerard was really his fault within that interaction. Brennan surprised Murph with the read the cards outloud thing #he handled it the best he could under the circumstances #Pib did great. Pinocchio overshared but his intentions and actual words were sweet! traumabonding! #Rosamund did great! she was kind and she said what she wanted like yeah! not too bad! #i don’t think Ally intended to actually put dirt in the cookies Brennan kind of pushed that and I don’t think a lot of what he said was bad #I think ally could’ve handled it better in the sense that they could’ve just told the truth and been vague abt the questions being abt #the book but the stuff about being so overly nice and a bit unnerving seemed like an accurate and not very offensive way of putting it #even before they knew about the nihilistic princess cabal stuff they thought rapunzel was creepy #cienna talks #neverafter

I was gonna be cheeky and ask for 10 and 19 again BUT I shall resist that urge… for now.

I will be sneaky (critical failure) and ask for three (I lied) 28. 30. And 37.

And what the hell, everyone should be proud of their work/s so a 33. (Feel free to pick a couple if this is just asking for a lot - I feel like it is 😅)

I feel like I’m order takeout or reading lotto number here

haha thank you! and the bonus number is…

Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?

today i’m reminding myself to practice mindfulness! and not in the sense of breathing exercises or lengthy meditation sessions (although I’m sure those have their benefits too) but by making myself be in the present, paying attention to all of my senses, and remembering that my characters would do the same. you’ll need that material to fill in the little details that draw the reader into your work, that tricky thing that makes them feel like they can’t just see it, but like they’re actually there. life is a sensual experience, and i think our stories should reflect that!

Describe a fic that almost happened, but then didn’t.

this got long, so…

i once scribbled down a dream i had that was a sort of trippy time travel/repeating day type of thing, where Lena was part of a small crew of criminals that used Lena’s tech to travel back in time to aid them with their heists. they would simply rewind time over and over, taking note of the details, learning every possible outcome, eliminating obstacles along the way, practicing the motions often enough to nail the final, perfect execution.

the first scene was a very bloody one, and i came in right in the middle of it, not understanding how Lena and her people could be so callous about the people laying bleeding and dying at their feet, especially because Kara was one of them. Lena’s crew just kept saying they’d ‘fix that next time’, like some sort of cryptic mantra.

in the dream Lena ended up looking for Kara in every run through, charming her in a thousand different ways, always the same, Kara falling for her every time. there were a few rewinds that took her back so far that Kara was still a child, immediately smitten but completely lost on earth, abandoned and alone, and Lena lobbied hard to make sure her crew fixed that, too, even when it meant Lena would never meet her again.

i saw Lena’s crew running down a dark alley over and over again, at least one of their crew dead or dying, at least one other gravely hurt. Kara turned out to be the reason their plan failed every single time. Lena ended up having to turn against her team to save her before they could eliminate her from their timeline completely.

in the end Lena lay dying in child-Kara’s arms, telling her ‘we’ll fix it next time.’ this was when she’d finally discovered Kara wasn’t human. the line i woke up with was Lena telling Kara to promise her, ‘if you figure it out someday—fly up’. the theory being, i think, that if Kara somehow were to fly high enough, fast enough, she’d achieve the same effect Lena did with her tech, and Kara could go back to save Lena instead.

my dreams get pretty elaborate, but they rarely come with as tidy of a plot as this one did, so i bet it already exists somewhere.

Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you?

i don’t feel i write the kind of stuff that requires a lot of research and that’s probably a good thing! because i will go down absolutely every rabbit hole the internet has to offer when i do and zero writing will get done. my longform WIP TFOT has been brewing since—let me check—December 11, 2022 (thanks @mooosicaldreamz) and i’ve written less than 20k words, including my outline. instead i have spent my time working on it ‘studying’ veterinary medicine, learning about sustainable agriculture, planning trips to Wyoming and wondering alongside Paula Cole where all the cowboys have gone.

Give your writing a compliment.

i can’t tell you how happy it makes me when people tell me i managed to write something that made them laugh out loud. several times even! sometimes waking up their loved ones or startling strangers! i love that so much.

#these were excellent questions! #this got a little longer than i intended #(but what else is new) #more writing asks #ask me things! #kitch3nw3nch

How much for each doll? My and I have been gushing about them! When I went to Spirit Halloween, I was disappointed at the lack of LB merchandise.

iirc I ran the first batch at around 35 USD each before shipping.. frankly I'm thinking of ticking it up to $40 since I underestimated the manufacturing costs, demand, and labor involved then.. hopefully that's not too inane.. :,)) And possibly $140-5 for all four as a separate listing but I'll probably gauge interest before solidifying stuff like this

Needlessly elaborate response, and tentative at that, but I hope that helps :]

++tysm for your interest!! and haha omg I feel that, Spirit could always use more vampire IP rep in general imo

#might work smth else out for ppl who already purchased during said initial run but that too i need to sus out the details with still #either way since i intend on running preorders this time things will feel more streamlined #person who's never sold merch decides to start selling the most ambitious type of merchandise when they were a teenager #guys dont be like me #ask #piratesangel

[enderspawn]

half my dash is saying tntduo walked out on stage holding a pride flag and kissed live on stage and the other half is saying tntduo is dead so I’m assuming a horrible crime has occurred

#joke I think I get the Context #someone asked abt shipping (prob name dropped tntduo) and wilbur gave an answer that it’s Not intended not likely to be canon #but fans can interpret how they want #kinda like the jerwee shipping things like. they were lke we don’t wanna do oc romance but go wild as long as it’s chill #<which uh. after ghostknife and stonesong uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NOT THE POINT FBSMND #mcyt #dream smp #og post

had a slow day at work today, so i kept doodling my vampire ocs on my phone while waiting for work to do lmao

#my art #low stakes 🦇 #these were all referenced from personal sims screenshots :-) #honestly really happy with these #also uhhhh haha fun fact i was literally never asked to do anything today LMFAO #not even a single curtain. #i just sat there. at my spot. doodlin. waitin to get asked to do a thing like i usually would #(istg most days are the complete opposite ddsfgf sometimes i don't even get time to THINK) #i really like these tho #and i didn't waste my time scrolling apps.... i actually did something fun #so. worth it #that helena is legit my favorite yet #i swear i intended to draw rune too but i kept getting distracted by the others hfgjdg #eh it's fine he already has a very nice painting from last year

[ratcandy]

ok i'll shut up soon to go to bed but i had boba milk tea for the first time ever today and man they were not kidding that tastes nothing like tea but tastes a fuckton like milk

#it was against my will I did not ask these ladies for boba tea #but I guess they were doing some sort of special today? It was hard because they did not speak much english #but they gave me my drink And this other one and were saying something about it being Free today #and I'm like Oh Okay. I did not need two drinks but now I have two drinks so now I feel obligated to try this other one #and I did. And it wasn't... bad! I have no idea what exactly it was other than boba milk tea. Idk the flavor or whatever. But it was #chocolately! I can say that much! It just sort of tasted like chocolate milk! #...but with chewy little things in it that I did not much care for! #yea I don't think I can vibe with the Bobas . i tried! I tried I did! but my brain was like What the Fuck all the while #and also I don't. I'm not. I don't like. Drink milk? Regularly? I'm not a milk drinker ? #lactose intolerance aside I'm just not like. Number one milk fan #so I drank as much as I could of it before like. I started drinking the Drink I Intended To Drink In The First Place #and the contrast was very staggering (strawberry soda is what I got LMAO) #clamtalk

[hatake]

fucked things up with a person i was starting to like and have been sad about it all week :(

#eh.txt #got triggered really badly a few weeks ago due to a family thing #and basically told them hey i like u but i am too emotionally damaged and don't want to catch feelings fr #and they were kind and understanding #and then i regretted it the next day and was like hey jk sorry for being crazy #and they said they've been busy but intended to reply #and then five days passed so i was like don't worry about it sorry for putting u in a weird position #lololololol #it's no biggie i just feel things so intensely and the moving process has been so stressful #cried all throughout yesterday #i hate how intense my emotions get and also how i just replay situations over and over again in my head #and my stupid brain is like ''maybe they will message u back actually'' #when it's like girl we crashed three whole planes into the building it's over 😭😭 #next psych app i'm gonna ask if we can up my meds bc clearly i am still a nut job :')❤ #wish i had the kind of personality that was loveable but alas lolololol

[crystalcanis]

I want to talk about my ocs publicly more like I used to years so... so freakin BAD!!!

#canischat #I remember back when I used to use twitter a lot (ew) I talked about oc facts randomly all the time! #and opened QnAs and requests of drawings of my ocs on my instagram stories #And people actually enjoyed it it was like my public excitement made others excited about my ocs in return #and I honestly owe like more than half my audience to that time #most people that stuck around to read my comics or are on my comic server are because #they came from back when I used to talk about my ocs all the time and they were curious to see it play out the way it was intended #what happened? idk. I guess I got self concious. But I want to recreate those vibes again. #I want to show others Im just as excited about my little guys as I was back then and as I wish for them to be too. #anyway uuh idk maybe I will reblog one of those oc questions for ppl to send me asks at some point #but I dont want to make it feel like Im forcing ppl to ask me things so I want to be able to just ramble at any time for ppl to enjoy too

hey girlie it’s me, sam winchesters gay lover, your mootie 🥰🥰🥰 i just wanted to let you know, that your tags on the post about that wincest video are based and i agree with every word, hashtag slay couldn’t agree more i loved reading your essay in those tags heart ❤️

omg thank you!!! i'm basically only capable of talking in essays whether people want me to or not, unfortunately

i just have a lot of feelings on this topic and the whole "canon or not canon" argument is weird to me; the themes are pretty darn clear in supernatural (it is NOT known for its subtlety) so idk man. they don't have to kiss to be canon. and they don't have to have a romantic relationship to be canon either. how many times do they get into relationships with other people only for it to be treated as cheating/betrayal/abandonment, only for them have to give up that relationship in order to reaffirm their devotion to their brother

that's just what the text says. i'm not under any kind of delusion that they have some secret sexual or romantic relationship, but that doesn't change that sam and dean are each other's most important person regardless of that. which is really awesome imo, that romance isn't treated as more important than whatever horrible thing they have with each other, and that they don't have to consummate their relationship with romance/sex in order for it to be the most important one they have

(and of course there's romantic/sexual subtext, like parallels and metaphors and misunderstandings and jokes, but to me that just provides a solid foundation for presenting this relationship between them as the most important even though it's not romantic or sexual—because this language of romance is the only one we know, really, when it comes to writing important relationships between characters. it's the only one we know in our own personal lives, to a large extent. so you use the romance/sexuality to symbolize the actual bond they have. which is so much worse lmao)

anyway i think spn is fairly unique in this way because of how no other relationships can really ever stand parallel to the one they share; even in other shows that center male friendship, romance is allowed to coexist with brotherhood. for sam and dean, it's not, and that becomes a point of tension and conflict and resolution many, many times over the course of the show. so like yeah!!! just because it's not romantic or sexual doesn't mean it's not canon, in the sense that their relationship is the point of the show, and it is the most important relationship they have. they chose each other above all else, every single time. yknow, it's "the epic love story of sam and dean" and all that

#ask #sorry. i did not intend to write another essay about this #but as i said i am only capable of talking in essays. my apologies #to be honest the only reason i have so much to say about this is because i have seen some truly baffling takes about what sam and dean are #and every time i see one i have to sit here and think about it. like how did you arrive at that conclusion. what are you watching #mostly in terms of like. people saying sam and dean are not weird and codependent and enmeshed with each other #that's just blatantly not true because again. this show is about sam and dean and their relationship. textually subtextually metatextually #the concept of even having to defend their relationship as canon is as confusing to me as having to defend umm rubysam is canon #or something #like it happened. they were together in canon. we saw them have sex. you can't say rubysam isn't canon because it's right there #same thing with sam and dean. the difference is the nature of their relationship and the fact that i guess people don't want to like #think of it as canon when it's not romantic???? #it's such a no-brainer kind of thing. like the fact that i'm sitting here trying to explain myself is embarrassing me bc it's like #no shit sherlock #but again the only reason i am thinking about this so much is because i keep seeing people trying to deny or downplay their relationship #in the first place #which is BIZARRE to me #like idk i don't see people trying to deny that ummmm fuck. killua and gon hxh aren't canon friends #that they don't even like each other #wow i'm seriously rambling. apparently i have more to say about this topic than i originally conceived #idk man i get people are uncomfortable with incest but the point is that it's like. not. their canon-ness is not related to incest #they're just insane about each other and they are each other's most important person. they are more important than romantic pursuits #the uniqueness is that it trumps all other relationships and cannot coexist with any others. that's what's so canon about it #it's not just friendship. it's not just brothers. it's not just husbands. it's everything and nothing and so much more all at once #shrugs. sorry for rambling AGAIN #i hope i'm making sense here #supernatural #wincest #spn posting

does anyone else wonder whether the beatles did any actual yoga poses in india?

#questions i ask myself #what happened in india #did they just do meditation or were they also down dogging it (no pun intended) #i feel the need to write it just to put them in ridiculous positions #maybe make up a new thing paul wasn’t good at in the 60s to explain his decades-long headstand obsession #searching TM only brings up meditation and mantras #gonna start a new why paul left indiarumor #did you hear paul fell flat on his face during dolphin pose??? #yeah in front of the whole class and everyone saw it

I only learned about the BTR "Sarah incident" last night but it's even funnier that the person titled the YouTube video "Big Time Swearing" 😭

The full video is on this blog

#for context: they were filming the movie (they are all still in their wardrobe in this video) and were extremely tired and had to go on a li #to make a few announcements and a production crew member named Sarah was being bitchy towards them about it #and production in general was being shitty towards them and weren't telling/asking them about things and just throwing them around #and they weren't having it and on top of that the room they were put in by production had almost no lighting and so the guys- #were frustrated and upset by that because they wanted their fans to be able to see them on the livestream #but little did they know the livestream was already recording so people heard them swearing and talking shit about Sarah and production 😭 #and I guess people freaked out about them swearing because they're Nickelodeon stars (though they were adults when BTR started) but- #they also had no idea (pun intended) that the livestream was already recording so they're just freely swearing because they didn't know #it's funny hearing them swear especially with Kendall-James-and Carlos freaking out while Logan is just quietly frustrated #Kendall's ''Fucking Sarah with her smartass fucking mouth'' (4:29) comment and James with his dungeon comment is too funny 😂 #big time rush #btr #btr tv #kendall schmidt #james maslow #logan henderson #carlos penavega

[fromtheseventhhell]

the sansa/arya arc in season 7 was so weird because it felt like they were building to sansa being a villain and trying to undermine Jon and chickened out at the last minute. it’s weird because the only way season 6-8 Sansa’s actions make any sense is if she was actively conspiring against Jon to become queen in the North over him, but instead of being punished for betraying her family (again!) she’s rewarded and everyone worships her? idk the writing for her character was so weird. i probably shouldn’t bother trying to make sense of that show.

Yeah, there's really no point in trying to make sense of D&D's writing. By the time we were in season 6, they'd already given up. Instead of writing an ongoing and cohesive story, they were just moving from plotline to plotline and treating each one like an isolated event. I doubt they even had a clear idea of what they wanted. For Sansa, the writing is so weird around her simply because they inserted her into a story that she wasn't a part of. The writing was always notably worse when they were ignoring the books. The whole Arya v. Sansa arc really just felt like they were scrambling to give Sansa something to do while Jon and Dany were away. She just came across as very unlikable for plotting against Jon and especially since she was being manipulated by/working with LF the whole time. They told us she was smart instead of showing us and it was just a mess. What's actually interesting is that Arya came off as smarter than Sansa for being able to easily read her true intentions + not be fooled by LF 🤷🏾‍♀️.

If the show had been accurately adapted, Sansa would've been executed thrice over for treason. She was obviously plotting even before Jon left and Book!Jon absolutely would not have let her actions during the Battle of the Bastards slide. Then Sansa was just openly plotting against Jon and Arya just decided not to mention any of this to her favorite sibling or do anything about it...right. Then she was openly plotting against Dany and even went against Northern traditions. But all of that was just her being a smart™ politician even though it didn't make sense so she gets rewarded instead. This is why I just don't see the books going in even remotely the same way because it just doesn't make sense. The plot was forced to bend around Sansa and that's not going to be the case in the books.

#ask #anon #anti got #anti d&d #game of thrones #I think Sansa stays in the vale during TWOW not only because it makes sense in the books #but if she was intended to go North sooner then they would've at least had material to go off of #but it was obvious they were making things up as they went along #isn't it funny how all of the characters had to be warped to make Sansa more important...hmmm #anyways d&d are clowns and nobody takes their writing seriously outside of certain stan groups
