Zelda

She/her, 65 moons, cis molly

#Zelda (cat) #<- so it doesn't go in the fandom tags of the game lmao #Loner #honeyclan #<- the save file she's from. I'm gonna say she lives nearest to them #warrior cats oc #warriors oc #kiri’s clangen #clangen #She also doesn't have the chest spot on her sprite but I thought she looked better with it so. Y'know #I made her fur so massive but I need it to be known that the rest of her is massive as well. She's jut very large #also I HAVE RETURNED TO THIS BLOG!!! Can't say how regular activity here will be but I'm queueing this on thursday to go up on friday #and I've got three more finished cats to go up the three days after that. We'll see how many more I draw before the queue runs out #I'm doing hermit-a-day-may over on my main blog and I'm coming up on the end of the schoolyear so I may be mostly swamped until summerish #but I'd like to pick back up with posting these during the summer. I have some ideas for a comic that I'd like to do but I haven't written- #-it out yet becuase I want to get these designs done first and I think I'm about halfway through all the cats I have? across 5 different- #-clans two of which are very large so. Mass extinction events will be on once I start playing moons again!! #anyways sorry for rambling but I'm very proud of my next few designs. I think I've found a good method for doing them quickly. It involves- #-using actual reference images for the poses lmao #EDIT I lied I'm not even close to halfway #I've got 66 out of 181 done meaning I have 115 left #jesus fucking christ ITS FINE it's fine it's just a lot. not a problem though #I can pick up the pace after this next month or two #it's chill

Mokumoku ren's art style change

As with any other manga, the more they draw it the more it changes. Mokumoku ren's old art style steered more to the anime-ish side, and the characters seemed younger. MMR's new artstyle is more semi-realistic, as well as the characters looking older.

#hgsn #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died #tshd #hikaru indou #hikaru #snal posting #poll #personally i liked the old one better... idk the new one just doesnt click w me #but we'll hopefully if the manga gets gory then the semi-realism will do it justice

i usually think it's bullshit when people say 'if you like x character it's because you're like them' but lately in case anyone was wondering i have been listening to videos on marxist history while single-mindedly making a self-sufficient high profit farm on stardew valley without having talked to a single romanceable character. hopefully this says nothing about me nor kevin day

#autism gang we'll blow your eardrums out #sorry ihavent been answering asks my farm you see. my farm. #the petite bourgeoisie simulator got to me #i named my chickens andrew jean and neil but lately i have not been able to afford hay for them so they hate me #because i spent all my time fishing and i left them to starve mostly #but in better news my cat is kevin and he is well loved and i never forget to pet him <3 #i love kevin and non-kevins equally #this is where kevin and i part ways because he wouldnt let jeandreil starve....... but its not my fault i ran out of grass for my silo #sad! #i need some cows next but i'm waiting for fall to come around #i'm on summer 27? so just waiting really to terraform my farm #also no one asked but im going to romance penny. kevin im also doing this for us. older women <3 #txt #kevin

I keep seeing people saying "I hope they don't make Jeremiah the bad guy" and other things like that. They're not making him "the bad guy", it's a not really a good guy-bad guy situation. I don't think this story has a bad guy. What the 3rd book (and probably the 3rd season) do is show you Jeremiah's flaws and the fact that he isn't a perfect person (because no one is!).

I know we've all agreed Belly has a very biased and idealized view of both boys. Once Belly starts dating Conrad and things start to spiral, the bubble is popped for her and she stops seeing the idealized version of him, but I would also argue she starts to idealize him in the opposite way, forcing herself to try to see him as a "bad" person. I also feel like in the 2nd book/season she starts to compare the brothers in her mind and starts thinking maybe Jere was always the better choice (he would have been a better prom date etc). And the first 2 books/seasons spend a lot of time telling you Jere is a golden retriever, a golden boy, an unrealistically "perfect" guy who is always fun to be around and would never hurt Belly or do any of the things Conrad did. But the thing is, no one is that perfect. And especially not kids who have been through the things the kids in this story have been through (ie Susannah), of course they're all going to make human mistakes. Also we're getting all of this from Belly's point of view, and we need to remember that she has always seen them in the radiant sunshine light of all these magical summers.

The 3rd book is when Belly's Jeremiah bubble is popped and she starts to see all the annoying things he does and his flaws (it's actually kinda funny cause the first chapter is like "oh everything is wonderful with Jere he has been so many of my firsts and I've never had anyone like this" and then in the next chapter she's like "Jere is the most annoying mfer I have ever met and here's all the annoying ass thing he does"). And then the whole cheating thing happens...but they were on break so technically he didn't "cheat" but he should have known better, and then he made it worse by proposing to her.

Anyway all of that is to say they are not making anyone the bad guy, they are not making Jeremiah the bad guy. They are showing he makes human mistakes, is flawed and is also very capable of hurting Belly. Yes, he's a fun golden retriever but golden retrievers also sometimes bite and jump up on you and get into your trash, but it doesn't make him a bad dog. It's not sunshine and flowers 24/7. That's just not how life works.

Also just to be clear- yes, the characters in this story make mistakes and hurt each other and are at times a little bit toxic to each other, but no one does anything irredeemable or unforgivable.

#tsitp #the summer i turned pretty #tsitp 3 #we'll always have summer #tsitp season 3 #jeremiah fisher #conrad fisher #belly conklin #I am also realizing it's usually the younger ppl who are stuck on the jere can do no wrong train. I think the older you get not necessarily #ur age but the more life experience u gain you are able to understand things better & see where all the characters are coming from better #it's kind of like how ppl who have not experienced grief/loss have a hard time understanding that aspect #also I think part of the problem is there's a whole weird trend about “golden retriever” guys? #also this is unrelated but the golden retriever trend cracks me up bc I am severely allergic to golden retrievers

[thethingything]

I'm absolutely determined to pay attention to all the seasonal changes and embrace them as much as possible this year and to try and romanaticise it. we've tried to do the same for the last couple of years too but I think we're getting better at it over time

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #happy posting #it's like how we used to say we couldn't stand summer but last year we actually enjoyed it being summer #and now I'm looking forward to it but I'm also looking forward to enjoying spring first and watching everything come to life outside #and I'm looking forward to autumn when it gets cooler again and we can embrace getting cosy #and maybe we'll have better coping mechanisms for the seasonal depression like we coped better with the summer depression last year #but that's far away and there's so much to do in the meantime #and hopefully once we get there it'll be fun to look back at what we did #I'm still clinging to the thing about doing what we can to make it a good year regardless of what happens #I've noticed that when we do have a rough time now we start craving the things that are good for us and will help in the long run #like keeping up with journaling and making gratitude lists and doing our hobbies and focusing on self care #which seems like a good sign. things can be shit but we're slowly getting better at finding ways to deal with them

[soulmvtes]

me starting summer strike thinking it was going to be a healing 'my liberation notes'/studio ghibliesque kdrama and then getting to the latest eps.....

#i have sobbed like three times it is just Hitting #like idk i quite enjoy the darker aspect of it i have watched a few like that #but i also quite like the comforting healing type which i thought it was #but it seems to have combined those two genres which is cool and i guess we'll see if it turns out well done #but i also kinda feel like it couldve been done better if thats what they were going for #but also idk maybe they intended this #diary #summer strike

I think I'm going to treat myself to being off tumblr until Tuesday. a nice long stretch of four days to force my brain to calm down, and if I feel like it, maybe a longer vacation soon. I'll be back today (or maybe tomorrow) to post the next Strange Redemption chapter, and my queue will be running.

In the meantime, I'll be doing art, talking to friends, playing board games, working, cleaning, et cetera... :)

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

bye! see you later!

#I'm fine it's just my brain has got the GOFASTER social media rot again and I'm taking one of my 'sloww downnn' breaks :) #Robin speaks #btw this summer has been way better than last summer :) I think everyone in the house is less stressed #so we're all happier and more motivated #I'm able to be more proactive about stuff and I'm finding it easier to get to bed at a good time #I'm working on a good balance with tumblr and thinking maybe a weekly break would be a good idea? I don't know #I may have to make some changes to how I use the site too #it would probably be prudent to schedule myself a break from ceramics posting for a while #well... we'll see! #if you know me on discord I'll still be there. feel free to talk to me there—in fact I invite you to do so!

[schumigrace]

it's genuinely insane how just spending one hour in the sun every day this week has made me feel like a real human being

#SAD kills me every year and this year has been tough because we havent really had distinct seasons here #like we had good weather at the end of spring but summer was practically a write off #and this week has been everything ive needed for months. but the heatwave is gonna end and we'll go back to grey skies #and the nights are closing in and darkness just makes my head a million times worse #i have yet to find anything better than sunlight for mental health #other than meds that is. lol #tw mental health

Song of the Day: March 26

"Songs About Rain" by Gary Allan

#song of the day #you might think that this is the opposite of 'Groovy Little Summer Song' but nope! closer to same because (drumroll) #they are one of the very best categories of thing: Country Songs About Country Songs #I love them. I adore them #'Songs About Rain' is one of the strongest and best examples of type I have (also 'Cheatin Songs' by Midland. impeccable) #'and it sure ain't easin my pain / all these songs like / Rainy Night in Georgia / Kentucky Rain #Here Comes That Rainy Day Feelin Again / Blues Eyes Cryin in the Early Mornin Rain #they go on and on and there's no two the same / oh it would be easy to blame / all these songs about rain' #what a gift. what a delight. legitimately hard to sing this song in a mournful voice because it makes me so damn happy #anyway as you might glean from how this is posting at 3 pm my time: my sleep schedule is /fucked/ #I did have part of the bad conversation with my boss on Monday (immediately followed by garden times #which so overtook me that I spoke only about the garden and good spring feeling in my song post. what a blessing the garden is) #but mostly what happened is I said 'hey it is technically possible for me to make this but it will not help it will not do anything useful' #and my boss said 'but you can make it' and I said 'yes but we shouldn't. it will be a waste of time' and she said 'make it by Thursday' #and I said 'I absolutely cannot make it by Thursday. if I finish instead this better thing I've already been working on--' #and she said 'no we don't care about that thing. make part of the useless thing. by Thursday morning' #and I said 'if I bring you part of the useless thing and part of the good thing and I directly compare them in front of you--' #and she said 'we'll look at whatever you have Thursday morning but it's the useless thing we care about' #so the meeting is scheduled and I'm going to plead for the life of my better thing and probably the best I'll get is permission to do both #which is. I mean the useless thing is going to be a time-waster for sure but at least it won't be actively detrimental to anything? #it'll be fine I'll make it be fine. the inherent problems of when your boss doesn't actually know what you do for them I guess :/ #(also maybe. maybe if it comes down to it. maybe I'll just make the good thing for myself and use it to make my own life better #and someday maybe they'll ask for a project that works and then I'll be able to dramatically unveil it but either way I'll benefit from it #hmm maybe yeah)

[airenyah]

i'm probably the only one on here who's extremely excited about summer night lmao

#it's in my top 3 series that i'm looking forward to the most from the 2024 pt1 line up #next to the trainee and pluto #aaaaanyway i'm absolutely DYING to see dunk without joong #and i'm also excited to see him act opposite a girl #i'm even more excited about it now that i sat my mom down in front of hidden agenda #and we were also rewatching simm this week (we actually watched it live as it aired) #dunk works so well with joong like. they complement each other so perfectly #and i'm SO curious to see if dunk will manage with different acting partners #there's actually many things that he does where i'm like. yeah. i think he'll do well even without joong #and i just need to know if i'm right about it #for months i've been saying dunk is a better actor than fandom gives him credit for #it feels like summer night will be the series that'll prove it to me #or maybe i'll be proven wrong idk #that's what i'm dying to find out. will i be right about dunk's acting skills?? or will i be wrong?? #if i end up being right tho then i might just go off tho #(we'll see. maybe i'll just rant to my mother in private) #hidden agenda and various stage performances already got me into the dunk protection squad #but if summer night proves me right then i WILL turn into mama bear if i see people shit on his acting #and that's that on that #airenyah plappert #summer night #adrm #this rant was brought to you by: dunk posting about the summer night fitting #bye

[thewritingowl]

So I got tagged in a post game thing by @halfblackwolfdemon (Thank you so much btw) but I don't really know enough people to tag to follow the rules of the game nor do I necessarily feel COMFORTABLE tagging people when I don't really interact with many people here on tumblr, but I thought the game itself was fun so I'm using it as a distraction from my homework and as an excuse to post a line from Part 15 of But I Want to Be Let In, Not Out

So here's the latest line from my WIP of Part 15!

Danyal could still feel their blood caked under his fingernails.

#dpxdc #But I Want to Be Let In; Not Out #Part 15 #Here's a fun little sneak preview while I finish out my internship and get ready for the summer semester #Current plan is to have Part 15 out around Mother's Day but we'll see #My internship has been kicking my ASS #I am absolutely being irresponsible by scrolling through tumblr instead of watching my session videos #Watching myself do therapy for hours on end? Not fun #0/10 recommend but like good for future development of my career as a therapist #Still it's nice to take a little break before I get back to the grind #I'm so excited for this installment #Y'all better be prepared for MOMMY ISSUES: THE FIC

[thethingything]

we forgot how much the sunlight actually seems to help with us being able to do stuff because it's been pretty cloudy and now we have some sunlight and oh look we suddenly managed to catch up with a bunch of journaling we'd missed and we're like half way through getting for bed even though for the last few days we've gone to bed late because we kept struggling to get up and get ready

#personal #thoughts #🦋 post #I mean I guess we'll see what happens because we could still end up going to bed late but this is definitely better #but also it's a little bit funny that sunlight seems to help us get ready for bed #this is why sleep hygiene stuff doesn't work for us. we feel really weird trying to sleep when it's too dark #and we feel better having a couple of hours of sunlight before bed instead of sleeping before sunrise #this is also why I think all the usual advice like ''use a daylight lamp to regulate your sleep schedule'' absolutely doesn't work for us #because clearly light isn't affecting our circadian rhythms the same way it does for most people #also something we like about the sun shining straight into our room as it rises #is that we can watch it rise in different positions over the course of the year #we've been watching as it rises further and further south because it shines on a different part of the wall #and by now it's moved across to a different wall entirely when it rises #and it's pretty much half way between where it rises in the middle of winter and the middle of summer #also the sunrise lights up our room with really pretty colours

[asparkofhopeiswhatimafter]

homeward bound by marta keen most end of september song ever perhaps!!!

#when the summer's ceased its gleaming and adventure's lost its meaning I'll be homeward bound in time! #let me go and I'll return and we'll both be different but better for it! #something something the art of losing isn't hard to master

[brown-little-robin]

I think I'm going to try not being on tumblr at all Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday. We'll see how it works out.

#I suspect I'd better make that a PolicyTM for this summer #but I'm not going to totally commit until I've tried it out #I need to know if it would actually help me focus on what I want to be doing (writing/ art/ exercise/ work) #or whether the three-day loss of Talking With Friends is too much. #we'll figure out something that works. #anyway if you know me on discord please feel free to hit me up even when I'm off tumblr!
