#to the friends i've made along the way

[boojangs]

So my writing anniversary for the Wenclair Fandom is coming up on December 7th, and I plan to have everything updated and posted on that date. You, Me, Us; To Dance With Wolves; Two for Tripping (Into Love).

I also have a one-shot planned for that day as well, something that's been on my mind for a while, that I wanted to get out. Hope you guys enjoy it. Be on the look out for that quad update!

Thank you all for everything, from the bottom of my heart. 🩷🖤

#can you believe it's been almost a year since i posted the first chapter of home and away #it's been the best year of my life #I'm so grateful of the friends I've made along the way #you're everything to me #i love them they are my heart #wenclair #if i take this week to alternate between sleeping and writing I'll have everything done in time #just have a little bit more patience my loves

Awww, look at Fafo teaching her son how to be a good friend. Ro is going to be such a lovely kid. <3

Debby and Barghest got into a fistfight while under the curious gaze of Buccaneer the drebbbd, Dallas the baby thrumbo, and Asset the ankylosaurus. Perhaps the most difficult fight we've had to face while starting up the ship reactor. (Debby won)

"This piece shows a knife" might be my favourite RimWorld art description ever.

Then Fafo decided to give Ro another lesson, and... Well, I'm sure Kaz is thrilled by his son's newly expanded vocabulary at least.

#rimworld #gracie plays #The Animist Alliance #art #my art #traditional art #rimworld art #unpolished art #Fafo seems to like doing social lessons with Ro #even though her social skill is only level 4 #At least she's having fun with her kid I guess #Barghest's misogynist trait is annoying #I'm glad Debby won that fight #I wish they wouldn't fight when we're dealing with raids tho #Maybe the real raid was the friends we made along the way #And Candlelight with her art bless her little soul #That plant pot is her pride and joy I'm sure of it #And definitely the greatest most succinct rimworld art description I've ever seen #Have a fabulous day!! <3

hi yall :D we gave it our all, glenn fans. it was a good run & we worked rlly hard but a congratulations to Carlos is DEFINITELY in order ! well done :]

i want to say that being part of the dndads community has been such a blast -- since joining, everyone I've spoken to has been incredibly kind and supportive and honestly i had SUCH a fun time campaigning for glenn. I've drawn more in these last three days than i have, like, this entire year, and I'm genuinely super thankful that I was able to remember how fun it is to just make something for shits n giggles. to be a part of something for the fun of it

as for the requests that are still in my inbox, I will get to them!!! I won't be taking any more now that the poll is over, though. Full disclosure, it may take me a little while to get to everyone because finals week for me starts in four days (ToT)

EITHER WAY!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE !!! I had such a blast. I love this community with all my heart & i'm so glad

#i really hope people are gonna be good sports about this #i've seen some ppl talk about people being genuinely rude over this poll??? #i feel like it should go without saying that “hey . don't do that????” #genuinely it's all in good fun and i love this community #pls be nice to each other though D: #i saw someone say “the real sexiest podcast character poll is the friends we made along the way” #which is so real #either way my point is that i love yall and ive never had a fandom experience where i've felt as connected to a community as i do here #i hope that's not weird to say. i just love dndads. i love people #kind of emotional rn #genuinely . thank you :') #dndads #dungeons & daddies #hot glenn autumn

having a weird al moment

#i've always liked weird al. he's always been in my periphery culturally speaking #in middle school i had one of his polka medleys memorized. along with White and Nerdy #(if i give myself a minute i can still recite 90% of it) #LOVE Hardware Store #but i've never like... sat down and listened through a weird al album #until this week?? i've listened through two and will probably listen to more #a friend and i were listening to poodle hat in the car the other day and genuinely cracking up #the man's a treasure #and for whatever reason my brain has decided to fixate on him this week #it's keeping me in good spirits tbh!! #there are certainly worse ways to combat seasonal depression #also just found out about the insane biopic he made of himself in which daniel radcliffe plays him #so obviously i need to watch that at the nearest opportunity #nov 2023 #weird al #music

with the year coming to a close, i hope that anyone who's reflecting about how the year went remembers to be kind and fair to themselves with how you evaluate the year as a whole.

i think there are definitely times when life throws things that are... Not So Great at you. whether if it's some external circumstance that surprised you, or maybe your mentality wasn't at it's best. i wish for anyone who's encountered those kinds of challenges to be able to triumph over them and be able to say that they got through it.

heck, it might still be a work in progress even though you've kept chipping away at it, and that's ok! the results will show themselves eventually as you work through it! and i hope that we can all remember to be patient with ourselves as we go through these processes (learning, healing, etc.), because damn, it can be frustrating when you feel like you're "not there yet."

knowing that life can be rough at times, i think it's unfair to yourself (and others) to discount and downplay any progress you've made this year- whether if it's something that you did for the first time, or maybe you came to a new understanding and insight that you didn't have in the previous year.

it's not to say that you should undermine the validity of your experience with hardship, but to take the time to remind yourself what makes life worth living. to recall what moments were the most satisfying to you- and use it to strengthen your resolve for the next year and beyond. no amount of hardship will ever take away from the fact that you deserve to have hope that things will get better.

i hope that looking back on the year, you don't leave out the things you cherish. that you can remember the good that came this year. whether if the small victories are things like meeting someone new, trying something out for the first time, or making some strides in a long-term project/obligation...!

i wish everyone a happy new year! may it be prosperous, and that your life can move in a direction that's close to what you want out of life. you're all going to do great! remember to congratulate yourself for what you did well! despite everything, you're still here, and that's wonderful. never forget that!

#lizzy speaks #hello everyone. i know that there are *checks calendar* still 20 days left of december and 2023 #but i've had a lot of strong emotions and feelings i've had to sort through as i've been thinking about how 2023 went for me #so a lot of what i've written here comes from the perspective of someone in their early 20s #it's like... a crash and burn from when you were a teenager thinking that you know everything #and realizing how big the world is and how many responsibilities there are #all while a feeling of overwhelm looms over as you try to sift your way through the world and adjust your understanding of it #for me i've definitely had an underlying thought that 'you should have your shit together by now why aren't you there yet' #and it's! not motivating! at all! to think that way. and it's made me more than ever want to be a friend to myself. to extend a patient- #kind voice to myself that reminds me that others are also trying to navigate these feelings and to accept that i'm not going to have an- #instantaneous understanding of how one goes about adulthood. and neither will they. even if they look 'put together.' #like... these people have also undergone similar stresses and along the way figured out how to navigate through that space #and personally i've found peace in knowing that there are people who are older than me. trusting that they've dealt with these things too i #some shape or form and that them living... being here.. is proof that we shall be fine in the end and that we will move past what plagues- #our mind. there's definitely been some... anger i've had this year that. school didnt teach me these things or skills!! i was so mad lol #but hey if we are little guys who are living on planet earth for the first time we shouldn't condemn ourselves to an unrealistic standard- #of going through life and being able to instantly do everything 'correctly' and know how everything works #i'm still working on improving that patience... and also trying to put in the work to understand these things. #in the midst of a very tough week for me i was tempted to say that 'nothing happened this year it was not productive' #but then i was like. that's. objectively not true if you just look at other things. also theres worth in life outside of 'productivity' #...i think i passed 20 tags at this point. but like. my favorite thing about 2023 was meeting so many cool awesome people! #who would've known that funny lil squid game could bring so many connections and friendships i cherish! #thank you so much! for being a part of my life and changing me for the better! for giving me many fond memories! #and i'm very grateful to anyone who supported me and my art this year... for sticking around even though i wished i could do more #it means the world to me knowing that there's proof that i exist and have touched someone's life in a positive way! thank you! truly! #ANYWAY. happy early new year. i hope everyone can nourish a friend in their head that extends acceptance and patience to themselves #as we try and make sense of the world together. there will be things that we don't understand yet! but one day we will! and it'll be like #wow! look how far i came! i'm okay! i'm alive! yipee! thank you for reading this post i made to get my feelings out! have a nice day!

I invited a friend over and the moment he stepped into my room he said "wow, this is like a geek shrine" and I'm not sure if that was meant as a compliment or not

#to give you a visual: i have books and comics everywhere. my walls are covered in prints and posters from videogames and dc and other stuff #i also have figurines lying around along with other weird things #and the pièce de résistance: the skulls #(they're not real. most of them are made of clay but still) #he also seemed fascinated by the fact I still have CDs #i think it was like a museum visit for him. we were supposed to play videogames but he found his surroundings more entertaining i guess xD #but this also made me wonder about how popular the “minimalist” aesthetic is and how now it's “weird” to have stuff you enjoy in your space #like it's immature or something #all these trinkets make me happy so I'm keeping them forever. thank you :) #“but you're an adult. why do you still have posters and toys??” because i don't want to be boring like you #(< not something my friend said but something I've heard before) #besides look at it this way. if hundreds of years from now an anthropologist finds my stuff #they'll think I'm the most interesting btch in town #what would they think about your minimalist space??? what objects could tell them the story of who you were and what you loved?? #dan is rambling again #(tbh dan is a little tipsy too)

im getting real tired of oc acting like she has everything under control and is this amazing manger when all she does is order people around and can’t be serious when it comes to confrontations. i mean she yells and questions others for their behavior but they have to draw the line when it comes to her? that’s hypocritical. her saying that she was hiding behind the bet and only bc she was scared of jungkook‘s feelings being real is and was obvious from the very beginning but she also lied to herself again i mean let’s wake it up right?

how come YOU work with your ex boyfriend that is in a band that YOU are the manager of and allow YOURSELF to work with when YOU act like YOU don’t care about him, while YOU also try to control him for petty sht that has mostly to 65% nothing to do with the work environment. she always wants others to give her time and let her get her thoughts right before she has to talk but others for example jungkook has always an ultimatum like what is wrong with her and her entire mental health atp? im on jungkooks side with, that yes i as a reader am tired too if her acting like she doesn’t want to be with him when that’s all she wants but she‘s selfish (in my opinion no shade) bc she wants to see him beg a little more to avoid a) the confrontation about their fucked up relationship that happened from both sides and b) bc it makes her feel worthy of something again bc he didn’t care about her enough in those 4 years he was with others right? then yeah i wouldn’t give my time and energy to get that kind of person back and not bc jungkook wants to be better for her he needs to be better for himself and her never giving him that reassurance is unfair and disgusting bc she can want that from him right?

like i seriously need people like her to just either be direct or get out of that persons life forever. she sees that jungkook has other SERIOUS issues like his mental health and addiction to always downgrade himself as not worthy for any-little-thing but all she focuses on is „omg u did a bet now i can’t be with you and also bc nick wants me on the renaissance tour so ughhh idk everything is so heavy and omg i fainted am having so much stress ugh:((„ like shut the fuck up. she knew what she was getting into when she signed the contract for being a manager could she know how much stress she was getting into? no but that’s no here or there bc she allowed herself to not have a break that is on nobody but herself.

i have so much to discuss about her character but i really don’t want to just know that im tired of her and also thank you for writing something that’s truly new and fresh! i like this story it makes us think and have thoughts about the the chapters in general so yeah i hope you don’t get offended of how i view oc i don’t want to bash your characters ig it just that everyone has a different opinion in certain matters right? still thank you and have a great day! ☺️😊

omg babe you are having some very very interesting thoughts!!!! thank you for reading and for getting invested!!!!!!! 🥺🥺

the characters will have a discussion about a lot of the things that you mentioned soon--mostly in the next chapter--so i'm not going to elaborate much, but again, some very interesting points!! they are people with clear issues, and insecurities ranging from their past relationship to parental trauma to toxic friends. you know what i mean?? and i can't wait to show you what's nextttt!!!! 🤍🤍🤍

adding a spoiler bc i feel like it 🤌🏻

baby you said oc "can’t be serious when it comes to confrontations" and that is going to be one of the key plot points in the upcoming chapters!!!!

their whole relationship, they dealt with the chronic let's-not-talk-about-this illness, you know?? and jungkook is overcoming it! but now that's coming back to bite oc a little bit, because not only does she have to talk too, but she also has to face her demons from the broken relationship she had grown up in

#ask #anonymous #taexual; sleepwalking #when i saw this i was facetiming my friend #it was like 2am #and the way you sent me straight into orbit with your message babe #INTO ORBIT #i was still on a caffeine high at that time and you made me want to keep working on sleepwalking rIGHT NOW #i went to bed at 5am lmao #regardless of that though #i'm so excited!!! like throughout the progress of the story i've heard all kinds of things about both of the main characters #and some of the reactions have been very intense!!! which has been very very interesting and fascinating #i have the most fun when the characters are complex and the situations they end up in are messy #so reading about your emotions?? it's extremely valuable for me!!! #i love to know what thoughts cross your mind as you go along the story<3

I play piano, but most of the fun is listening to the song on repeat, identifying the key signature, memorizing the melody, and making my own arrangements of the song that's been also playing in my head non-stop.

#what do you mean i can just use sheet music??? #i refuse #that's boring #pianist #sort of #i've been playing a long time #but am getting back into it from a hiatus #so i'm subpar #sometimes its the friends you made along the way that matter most #it's the journey #music #not writing #words anyway lol #too many tags

“lucas, i’m scared. i’m so scared. i’m so scared. i don't wanna die. i’m not ready. i don't wanna go! i’m not ready.” if the duffers kill max in s5 after that we will be having words.

#not only would it destroy the message of hope and perseverance in the face of personal struggles- the message that’s been a consistent #thread through all four seasons- it would make max’s first “death” scene incredibly pointless when it could have been #so impactful had it been real #obviously i very much want max alive and healthy and happy but there’s something so cinematic and so awe-inspiring about that #shot of max in lucas’ arms with el by her side and the blue light bouncing off their blood-and-tear-soaked faces #before the camera draws back and begins to spin over them... anyway. my point is: #i will be very angry if they end up killing max via coma when they had OPTIONS. well. one option. but it was a really extraordinary option. #her death in s5 despite /everything/ would cheapen the final season immensely and would come off as almost laughably #desperate- but above all so so CRUEL to max and her friends #if she can't live and she can't just die in the attic don't prolong her and her friends' suffering for a far less impactful departure #and furthermore if she can’t live don’t purposefully degrade the meaning and remove the consequences #of a visually and emotionally stunning moment to string along viewers who want to know if max is going to be okay either!!!! #they're already on thin ice from the whole 'el revives max' thing (which i will expand upon in another post) but i've made my peace with it #because it kept max alive and it would actually tear me in two if she died for real but even so. thin fucking ice. to drag max over to #another season after all of that fragile ice walking- only to pass on resolving her arc in a careful way- would be devastating. #in terms of emotional and visual impact we have ‘max actually dying in the creel attic’ up /here/ #(imagine my hand hovering slightly above my hairline) #‘max pulling through the coma and learning to survive and thrive’ right /here/ (hand at eyeline) #and ‘max dying at the hospital’ allllll the way down /here/ (hand at stomach) #which would really fucking SUCK #to be clear i think she’s going to pull through the coma (thank god) because a) the duffers are cowarddddds and b) narrative reasons that #i don’t have enough time energy or tag space to elaborate on #but i also have trust issues from this season so i can envision a scenario in which they metaphorically pull the rug out from under #us and we all riot at dawn together <3 #max mayfield #stranger things #s4 spoilers #** #millie talks #st 4

lynch brothers enjoyers u would LOOOOOOVE fleabag and her sister .👍

#u should ALL watch fleabag i think. u guys would love it truly #also the only media i've seen that uses breaking the fourth wall and talking to the camera and does it well 🤭 #<<<<<<< admittedly i have not seen much of those types bc generally i don't rlly like it but fleabag does it right. also fleabag is SUCH an #interesting intricate character & the way the show dealt with fleabag's grief over her friend's passing.. it's so.....head in hands #i think it's not for everyone personally obviously as is with everything but like. the lynch brothers enjoyers u guys would love it fleabag #and her sister's relationship reminds me so much of declan and ronan's. and also after u finish u can (re)read seek ye the living aka pynch #fleabag au and appreciate all the fleabag references 🙏 #claire is like. if i made a `characters that remind me of declan lynch` post she would be on it along with kendall roy succession #btw. if you even care. and hot priest is in it so <33 AND also it has produced the iconic scene that is: i love you. it'll pass......

Councillor Bronte presentation

Hello, my name is Axel. This presentation is on the arc and development of Councilor Bronte from the book series Keeper of the Lost Cities. Most of Bronte's arc happens between books 1 Keeper of the Lost Cities, book 2 Exile, and book 3 Everblaze, but other books still develop him so each slide will be about a book from the series.

Presentation under the cut

Note: I couldn’t get the slideshow to work, it kept glitching out the pictures so I took screen shots of the slides, the last two and first slide are typed because I think you can only have ten pictures per post. There also are not many pictures besides the title slide because I couldn’t get them to work with the text, and if I did you couldn’t see the font even after changing the color.

I do hope you enjoy the presentation though and have wonderful days! I’‘ve had a lot of fun in this class!

@camelspit​

Book 8.5 and 9: Unlocked and Stellarlune

Bronte is in very few scenes in these two books, he was mentioned in Unlocked after Sophie asked if Bronte would know how to open the cache, and in Stellarlune he was in one of the cache scenes in Kenric's cache.

Conclusion

To summarize Bronte's arc takes him from the first two books and the first half of Everblaze where he is an antagonist to Sophie, and opposes her. To slowly becoming one of her strongest allies and someone she relies on later in the series.

#roisin's reading rumble #kotlc bronte #Councillor Bronte #I was going to do it this past weekend because I had Lodestar- Legacy left but then I got strep throat again #it's funny because in Elemantry school which is when I saw the most kids get strep and flu I never got it and now that I'm past Elemantry #I get it at least 2-3 times a year this is the second time I've had strep this school year #I just found that kinda ironic #but I had a ton of fun doing this and even though the beast will get us it's the friends we've made along the way that matter #the most

i'm getting ready to leave my hometown and make my way back to my chosen city, and much like when i left there a few months ago to come here, i am experiencing Every Emotion Available

#happy to be back in my community soon #excited to visit folks along the way #sad to say goodbye to friends i've made here #panicked at how much stuff i still have left to do #and how little time i've given myself 😬 #nervous about the future... #every feeling everywhere all at once #talk tag

YO?!?????

#rambles coming up in the tags #this notif caught me by surprise tbh #bc i forgot it was coming up on a year #and what a year it's been! #if you told early 2021 me that id have an tumblr and ao3 account #i would've never believed you #i never planned to actually join fandom. the plan was to get this one longfic out of my drafts and posted somewhere #so i could finally stop editing it and thinking about it and move on with my life #but nope. one fic idea spawned another. and then another. and then like three more #as it goes #also as i was writing this first fic #twitter kept putting tweets from the pokeani fandom on my timeline #and on it went. until i had an appeal/nozohika AMV idea that i couldnt simply share on ao3 #so i was like 'yknow what? ill pull the plug. tumblr + pokeani twt here i come!' #now one year later... the first fic i uploaded is on anon #and i've posted like 20 more and made such good friends along the way! #i never would've imagined that one fic idea would've led to all of this #but i'm so so grateful #and i'm grateful that i'm learning more and more how to balance my fandom presence with my real life #i leaned on pokeani a lot my first few months bc tldr life changes had taken a hit on my mental health #but now things are looking up in a lot of ways #and i'm excited to see what next year brings :') #tldr i love u all. thank u <333

//Hey everyone! Just an update because I have a few new followers.

I'm currently planning my own wedding which is coming up swiftly here in a couple of weeks, and the stress has been ramping up a bit, so I've been mostly absent on dash lately because of it. I am definitely here to chat and plot and exchange aesthetics, but it will likely be until after 5/4 before I'm able to be here more regularly — I apologize for the absence!

You can always find me on Discord as well at HeavyMetalRobot#7240 , just let me know if you add me!

Thanks as always for your continued support and patience, and I love you all dearly!

#mun | ooc #//most of my followers know this by now #//but figured I'd update the new friends I've made along the way!
