#no thoughts just ed and his emotional support bunny #i felt like a genius coming up with stede bunnet this better make you laugh #because im still giggling over it #praying that his name is anything close to this because i need it #fun fact my bunny who sadly passed away in 2020 looked exactly like the one ed adopts and it made me cry a bit seeing that scene #her name was soe and I changed my username for her #she was the most prcious baby she got me through all the hardships #so I believe stede bunnet can do that for ed too #ofmd #ofmd 2 #our flag means death #our flag means death 2 #ofmd fanart #edward teach #taika waititi #blackbeard #ofmd 2 fanart #my art #digital art

i haven’t really looked at this blog in so long and i have so many half finished drafts that i never posted and posts that i was meaning to queue but never did

#it’s kind of eerie #like i just exited this site one day and never came back #reminds me of that old post about how there was a day your parents put you down and never picked you back up again #i wonder what i missed is there new lore #is tumblr better or worse now #is there a fic or blog or some other fan work everyone’s obsessed with #what happened the last time i was active here #i think maybe 2020/21 #marvel accidentally made sb canon again in what if #is sb canon again again #what’s the big marvel ship #i think the last thing i saw was nwh #what did i even talk about here #oh i do remember this though #not an incorrect quote

caught up this week right in time for the start of season 5… we’re so back

#i missed this show so bad it’s unreal #if u were concerned yes rita is describing riverdale plot points and YES they are one hundred percent accurate (source: me im an expert) #frankly rita would fucking adore riverdale. the world should embrace this more #anyhow. falling back into old hyperfixations is what the summer is for innit ^_^ and its nice to draw better than 2020 me could. we have fun #the penumbra podcast #tpp #jupeter #juno steel #peter nureyev #rita (tpp) #buddy aurinko #vespa ilkay #jet sikuliaq #god i stopped listening somewhere when s3 was coming out cause school was too much at the time... relistening made me tear up #feels good feels organic feels like i missed juno steel so bad and didn’t even realize tili had him back #nureyev voice do you think these louboutins are too flashy for a kombucha brewing #<- real line from riverdale. rita could attest to that. i know this in my heart

thinking about the haterest tweet i've seen this week that said rachel being on the 30 under 30 list but not ayo is crazy one of them was so much better than the other in bottoms when she (ayo) was literally one of the judges and was on the list last year...

#like now what #and the tweets throwing her under the bus because noah's on it when it was probably made a while ago and even then people were like um he #literally went to israel this summer this is not new like do you think ayo edebiri is frantically checking where noah schnapp travels to #and also. THE TWEETS SAYING FINN SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON IT INSTEAD BECAUSE HE'S THE BETTER ACTOR ANYWAY skDKJSKDJKSJ like OH MY GOD. we were #all here last year and even just six months ago when tweets saying finn was the worst actor out of the kids had tens of thousands of likes #it's like when mila kunis and ashton kutcher (and also debra jo rupp and kurtwood smith) wrote letters for danny masterson and people were #like oh this is why topher grace didn't hang out with them when they were filming that 70s show and everyone praised him for literally #doing nothing because in comparison he was suddenly extraordinary #but like. saying finn deserves it more because he's the better actor is so fucking funny like I REMEMBER #also he was on the list in 2020 and you can only be on it once but just. very funny revisionism #a lot of tweets were also saying what about like millie sadie (who have also been on the list before) but finn was the #funniest. no shade #and like i say: brf slt

people sanctimoniously trying to explain US politics looking down or spreading vitriol towards anti-Biden people like you're not going to convince people upset about a genocide during an election year of a sitting president that they're just too stupid or evil to partake in harm reduction the way you want them to and advocate for the president arming Israel actively lmao.

#do you really see it as greater harm reduction of declaring unconditional support towards a president currently supporting a genocide. #like do you think it's some great coincidence that the primaries full of people voting uncommitted is impacting his (albeit slight and not #enough) changes made. like yeah the Democrat party is eating itself alive yeah Trump would be even more supportive to Israel #but don't you think even any slight impact on the very real CURRENT situation is the like. correct focus. does it just not matter or. #this isn't about fucking disillusionment and it's not about not being pragmatic for fuck's sake do you think I wanted to vote for Biden in #2020. I was fucking devastated to. and while I do think it was perhaps better give how I'm sure Trump would have acted I mean he also is #kind of a laughing stock of the world lmao. #Personally I hope that they both drop dead ASAP but can't bank on that :/ #i mean i am also fucking upset about the fact the option's are between Biden and someone else who's running claiming Biden didn't defend #Israel enough or whatever lmao. but that I can't change. send repeated emails about what will make me vote for people who represent me? #while they ignore me and refuse to change at all ? yeah well i can do that. #incoherents #us politics

i Need you to understand that i am just a simple little digimon redemption machine

the squeaky lil gazimon that serve etemon on the server continent? get those critters some beef jerky and cat toys

devimon from adventure? that's a friend waiting to happen

i see milleniummon and i go "that's a friend right there, get the lads some fruit salad"

kurata can suffer in digihell but i'll take his gizmon, they're cute

i just think they're neat

man. i changed so much these past years

#im different from last years me who was different from 2021 me who was different from 2020 me and so on and so forth #it feels kinda weird thinking about it bc i went through *so much stuff* #all of it in just the past 4 years... insane #i found out i was trans. i went on lockdown. i started posting my art online. i made online friends. #i went through three different relationships. every single one of them changed me forever. #i started writing. i finished middle school. i read homestuck. i used discord everyday for 2 years. #i found my personal sense of style. i started going tk school again. i made friends irl. i lost all the online friends i had. #(thay wasnt bc of any scandal i just left the friendgroup and then started to slowly interact more with ppl irl #whi sorta made my online interactions dwindle especially one-on-one interactions #i think i feel better like this go be honest with you. the connections feel stronger and i feel closer to the friends ive made #not saying i dont like the people i know and befriended here just saying that not being chronically online anymore really changed how i #go through with internet interactions) #damn. really feeling the passage of time now. #also this is not a sad reminiscent post im *really* glad im in the place i am in life right now #i have a qpp i have an irl friendgrouo that i feel 100% comfortable with for the first time in my life im doing ok at school #i have a vision for my future my relationship with my parents is sooo much better #idk man. compare that with 14 year old me eating alone at school bc i was too scared to talk with the other people on my class and like. #yeah man. im doing a lot better #i DO have to update my art blog though. its been too long sincd i posted anything #talk

more tagsposting because i’m having tweetable thoughts and i can’t tweet rn

#can’t tweet (not allowed) (twitter break) (i have a problem about that app) #i hope that like. it’s clear how much i’ve grown/changed in the last few years #i hope it’s not just visible to me #i feel like a totally different person from who i was in 2020. which was when a lot of my online friends actually got to know me better #and it’s so crazy to think of what i was like at that time. i was SUCH a baby #and there are some mistakes i’ve made that still fuck me up to this day 😭 #so ig like. hey if we’re friends i feel really weird about that time in my life and in our friendship 😭 #but at least in my view of myself a lot has changed for me internally. and some of these things are good! #crazy how you learn as you get older #anyways #this actually probably isn’t something i would tweet now that i’m thinking about it #but anyways. yeah reading my old journal is really insane #and i hope im still someone you think is cool. maybe more so now idk

Gu GG fxtcfxfx unhinged Leafeon Zephyr got me going 👀

Could you tell me a bit more about them???

i was gonna answer this earlier but stuff™️ happened 😔 didnt finish the doodles i was makin for it and ended up playing stardew, but i LIVED. have this instead

sO. first lemme re-explain the core of zephyrs personality, since this didnt translate well into pmdtog: theyre extremely passionate about something labelled as evil. in sky, the game i originally designed them and polaris around, this was simply referred to as "the darkness", which drove creatures to aggression and drained life from things that touched it. to zee, it was the one thing that they found not only interesting, but COMFORTING. whereas other people were easily overwhelming, the corrupting force was quiet, incredibly interesting, and sure others thought it was bad but others acted as if zephyr was bad, too.

so zephyr let the corruption in willingly and began to care for it.

this in and of itself isnt a bad thing! this would be zephyr as you know them, and still is- yannow- canon to everything. if anything im just rethinking the parts where i relied way too heavily on pokemon lore and not enough on my own lore. (also i think their eevee design could use a tweak or two lol their gloves have been weird legwarmers for too long)

for the next part, though, i have to also explain: with each passing year, ive been entertaining the idea of polaris as being older. in part because its interesting to see him grow and change, but also because its fun to have a character who grows up. he was designed as a twelve year old who sees life as hopeless. he will have existed for three years as of next month, and now im thinking about how he, after so so SO many stories and tales where he struggled to simply live and be alive, grows up to care for three children with a man who truly loves him. that means a lot to me, and feels natural- hes been shaped by irl years of storytelling.

...so why not do the same for zephyr?

but then, whos to say theyd get better?

see, part of pols thing is that he was negative, but learned to ease up and gain confidence in himself and the world through the help of others. but zephyr, ooooh zee has always been positive to the point of denial. and while polaris has had interactions with other characters to shape who he is...

zephyr has had two that were positive. polaris, a skittish sassy asshole who literally dies, and manta, who couldnt interact with zee directly but attempted to push them away to keep them from hurting themself.

so then, what would someone like that turn to over the years?

zephyr ends up becoming more and more the caretaker for some blooming, festering evil, and they deny more and more and more and more that doing so could EVER be wrong. they start denying that the corruption is even doing wrong in the first place. its just defending itself, maybe if you were nicer it wouldnt hurt you.

and i mean, whats wrong with helping the only thing thats been consistently with you through and through? sure it hurts, but everyone else is so mean. it must be lonely to be so hated, but zephyr is full of love and zephyr will protect it with all the love in their heart.

...even if this love ends up poisonous, they will adapt, now wont they <:]c

#uwu baby #trojarts #chattering #tanz made them an iterator design thats puppetted by rot im just scared around that stuff still ssobs #zee now has less uwu baby vibes and more tragic mad scientist vibes and i like it a LOT more #actually the thing was rlly funny especially when they were next to polaris who could cry if you point at him ? #anyways. polaris gets better and zephyr gets worse❤️ #fun fact zephyrs three years old now #they were my 2020 birthday gift to myself nyehe #oc: zephyr barycenter

absolutely love reading tags on my art and i adore each and every single nice thing anyone has ever left on them whether its an “aww nice” a keysmash or an analysis that spans three or more tags but this takes the cake for one of my all time favorites

#yeah when i really like something it does not live rent free in my brain its in an all expenses paid penthouse for real #duck rants about something #ok but i do have almost every single nice tag ppl have left on my art since i started this blog saved somewhere and its just really nice to #look through whenever im having a bad time #(which has decidedly been all the time lately) #dunno sometimes i feel like im probably not enough. im fairly okayish in terms of skill among my year and considering more than half of the #kids in it are a year or so younger than me really got me to take a hit to my already low self esteem #so seeing ppl enjoy my silly art is just!! really uplifting im glad i can make one or more ppl's day a bit better with it #iirc this one specifically was from my s.k8 art from 2020 but i think abt it a lot #well anyways thank you to anyone who has ever left anything nice in the tags or a reply or a comment i appreciate every single one of them #i really cant say how much it means to me. genuinely. this past year has been one of the most hellish ones ive had but i really cant count #the amount of times my day had been made better by them #you guys are real ones

It's funny stepping back into fandom spaces where most people are within my general age range or older after making so many younger friends in MiAbyss fandom* so when i go back to my old stomping grounds of LOGH or T&B or Star Trek or Vorkosiverse or the BJD hobby or just the whole entire SFF/genre fiction reader+writer sphere and it's like oh ok yeah. i'm not really thaaaaaaattttt humongously old i guess. because to be honest with you sometimes in other contexts i feel like the club penguin 18+ elderly penguin

*not to erase those of you in there who are older! it's just that something with MiA that was a brand new experience for me over the last year is that I sure did accumulate some treasured fandom friends a decade-ish younger than me and i feel somewhat protective of them slash occasionally ashamed of not being a more impressive role model or something but okay look you guys don't want a mentor you want a draw-er of shitposts and a writer-er of decentish fanfics and That I Can Do

#it was similarly funny when my sister and i went to Balticon this summer #aside from a pack of anime teens that we didn't interact with much nearly everyone was older.. #we met a guy who outright said oh yeah you guys might be a bit young for this scene... #(in a very nice way! he could tell i was feeling a bit fish out of water) #we went to a room party and the hostess also noted we were younger and she was like the next youngest person we had met and she was 40 #and those moments left me so surprised pikachu because.. i feel extremely old on the internet these days in a lot of nerd spaces #nice to know i'm still Larva Age (well pupa age maybe) for like star trek fandom ;; #if any morbidly curious soul read all these tags just wondering if i'd finally mention how old i am i'm thirty. gasp #it is unclear to me if i come across older or younger than this. you people made me start saying 'real' and 'bruh' #i used to mention my age more often on the internet and just stopped out of shame in like 2020 because i'd accomplished so little for my ag #i should try to unlearn that shit maybe .__. 'oh i can mention my age when i have a better job--' Hey. Thats An Insane Thought Process

conventionally attractive white boys have done irreparable damage to society. because why is there joe burrow fanfic and why are people eating it up

#hurt/comfort because of the fucking superbowl? GET OUT #and then cooper kupp was the villain. girl the catalyst is ON UR ROSTER #his name is eli apple he likes toast and he can't cover good receivers for shit #often said to be better than top 5 cornerbacks in the league but we know that's not the truth #after i saw that i also made the mistake of going to the writer's acc and may allah be with me #there one in their likes where burrow won the 2020 mvp over lamar and lamar was written as like. the antichrist #like full on mean girl regina george behavior and it was this huge drama throughout the entire thing #now i don't wanna put anything onto anyone. but you know damn well why lamar was the villain #starts with r and ends with acism iykyk #i shoulda known #what's next? tom brady and y/n with daddy issues? #dak prescott after losing in the wildcard round for the 59th time? #some of u should be denied a platform i'm so serious #nfl #cincinnati bengals #joe burrow #if you didn't play for that fuckass team maybe i would've liked you more #and if the media got off their knees and saw the facts already but that's not ur fault #fanfiction

I dont think i'm ever not going to be grumpy about TPC deciding to make the 1,000th pokemon the lovechild of a wacky arm-waving inflatable tube man and a cheesestring........

Like, its a milestone number. And you made this thing for it..... that was a Mistake u_u

#god i hate gimmighoul SO much..... and this thing requires you to search out 999 of its coins.... #the noise gimmighoul makes sets me RIGHT OFF #and then this design is just so.... boring..... #like i dont agree with people who say pokemon designs are getting Worse #theyve been saying that since like... gen 5 lol #theres definitely a fresh set of faces MAKING pokemon designs over the last 2 gens? but theyre not better or worse than the older ones #but the last 4 or so gens definitely have a lot of my LEAST favourite pokemon.... that goddamn barnacle.... bellibolt.... yeah..... #but back to my point... they really could have made a Better pokemon for the 1000th??? #idk man gimme some kind of Big Fancy Legendary? not a cheesestring...... #Honestly - Paldea is lacking in a good legendary full stop. The only real legendaries are... Chinese?? for some reason?? #and while i dont want to see the gen 4 legendary Bloat again - it would be nice for Paldea to have a pokemon legend based on THEIR region #i guess we gotta wait for DLC.... which could be announced any day now really... #SwSh DLC was announced on... January 9th 2020. And this is not a fact i squirreled away- i was looking it up earlier today lol
