#guess what finally got finished

[yenvengerberg]

there will never be another riverdale. it's the end of an era for twenty episode long seasons of crazy teen drama. never again will a show push the boundaries like this one, from murder mysteries to organ harvesting cults to d&d gargoyle kings to serial killer genes to discovering secret superpowers to stopping a comet from destroying your hometown to polyamory in the 50s. riverdale had it all. it was the height of camp, it was the plotlines no one could ever quite believe, it was the best of tv. rest easy, my queen, you have left a mark on pop culture forever.

#riverdale #on the one hand i'm happy it's finally finished with (aka i got so tired of fandom) #but on the other... it's not the same without it #i devoted so much time and love and care to this show #and even when i stopped watching because it drove me mad #i loved hearing what crazy batshit thing it was up to #like when you're at a family gathering and someone goes 'guess what aunt riverdale's done now?' and you fondly smile and say 'what?' #it won't be the same without that

CAESAR AUGUSTUS AND MARCUS LICINIUS CRASSUS

this is about the spolia opima that crassus was robbed of lmao. like, yeah okay octavian could've asked him not to claim it, but nevertheless. a kind of theft happened there.

Fact and Fiction: Crassus, Augustus, and the Spolia Opima, Catherine McPherson

#this is one from the vaults I started a few months ago and finally finished. it’s always the furniture details that put things on hold lmao #the former co consuls are fightinggggg (?) #rome is built on top of other people. this is about both the imperialism-slavery machine and the way that all these guys would #politically devour their own generation to sit on a throne. etc. anyway. octavian specifically sits on a throne of other people’s #accomplishments. that’s a specific kind of debt to carry around your neck. or theft depending on who is doing what #this was theft. anything involving Agrippa was a gift so there’s an obligation to succeed which is it’s own kind of currency so to speak #sugghrhfh. every crassus always has to be like this. in my heart i always root for whoever decides to go up against rome #and then i'm stuck with the guy who should've got a spolia opima like. congrats on your win. i guess. i think. RIP. #ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT. while im talking about this crassus. domina fucking sucks. what an absolute clusterfuck of a show #anyway. if anyone ever does augustan age politics again. octavia would be a great character if you want to invent shit #but also more importantly octavian should seduce crassus for this. thank you. #octavian #marcus licinius crassus.....christ how do i write down that he's the grandson of my crassus. i'll figure it out later #roman empire tag #drawing tag

[softerhaze]

#guess i'll finish this since we don't have babies 😤 #i hope people like this lol idk why it's got me so nervous omg #it seems a lot more saturated than my other mods but i used my own photos as references #so in that way it's probably the most realistic but 🤷🏽‍♀️ idk what people like i'm just out here typing numbers in a file #i'm also going to be doing a side by side comparison of each mod. finally. as much as that pains me. #so yeah! hopefully it'll be done in like a week-ish but who knows

[Image description: A digital drawing of Amanda Young from the Saw franchise. She's wearing her outfit from the third film, but has her hair from the first. She's wearing the reverse bear trap, which leaves only the top half of her face visible. Her eyes are open wide and staring directly at the viewer. Eyeliner runs down her cheeks. In one hand she holds overflowing needles which are falling from her loose grasp. In the other she has a tape recorder. Her arms are stiff, as if she's a posed mannequin. Bandages are wrapped around both of her wrists. These bandages, the tape recorder, the needles and the reverse bear trap are all coloured a bold light blue. Amanda is coloured bright white with grey shading, while the background is a darker grey. It also has a subtle spiral pattern to it.]

[cassieloveswhump]

Whump prompts, Mafia au edition:

-Whumpee is on a rooftop with a sniper gun when they suddenly feel whumper press cold metal to the back of their neck and say “Why don’t you put that gun of yours down before something unfortunate happens to you?” in a sweet tone.

-Lover is infiltrating a gang, but one day a member drags in their bruised and battered Whumpee, and Lover is forced to torture Whumpee in order to not blow their cover. Bonus points of Whumpee says they forgive Lover, but they still flinch away from Lover whenever they see them.

-Caretaker finally manages to take down the infamous assassin from the rival gang, only to pull off their mask to reveal a half-dead Whumpee, their lover who went MIA years ago and was presumed dead. (this is commonly used, but the whump potential is amazing)

-Hostage situations with whumper holding up a barely conscious whumpee who has obviously been tortured beforehand. Bonus points if Whumpee suddenly passes out mid-exchange, and however much caretaker wants to run to them and check if they’re okay, they have to focus on taking down Whumper.

-Whumpee who was tortured by an organization, and is now seeking revenge to take down the organization. One day they meet Caretaker, and fall in love, not knowing they’re the child of the mafia boss who tortured them when they were younger.

Feel free to use these prompts, I’d be honoured if you did,and if you could,tag me so I can read it!

Im a pent-up ball of pure stress and restlessness (like chest-tight and heart pounding type of stress) and I have 0 idea what to do with myself, because anytime I want to try and go distract myself with Something my anxiety spikes and my brain goes "!!! NO!!! DANGER!!! LOOK OUT FOR DANGER!!!" so I guess I'll just spend the day pacing the house and refreshing the same 3 pages on repeat, huh...

#personal #Raksh posts #tomorrow I'll know if I got back into uni #so that's the culprit #but I also have no way of assuaging it so fuck me I guess 😩 #and depending on if I do or dont get in #its either gonna be a full on depressed crying or a crazy busy next week #plus so much has been happening all around #I finished my internship last friday #we found out our doggo is sick and we're going with her to a vet cardiologist next friday #my younger cousin Ive always been quite close with came to visit with her boyfriend and announced yesterday they got engaged #my bro today said he's planning to marry next year #Im trying not to let my crippling loneliness take me over #it's kinda a lot when all put together 🙈 #I thought maybe I could finish typing up what I have of my recent vegaspete AU #its a super indulgent time travel a/b/o shifterd thingy with outsider pov - Nops in this first part #and so I could maybe have something to finally post sometime soon and motivate me to write some more #but I can't focus on that #Ive also thought of maybe gaming a bit #Id actually like to check out Cyberpunk with this new 2.0 update #but again it feels like anytime I try to occupy myself with something my brain goes into alarm mode ughhh #this stressing business is so useless and unproductive why isnt there a switch to it I could just flip and turn it off?? #ughhhhh anyway #Im just venting dont mind me #hoped putting it down in some way shape or form would help but will it work? prob not 😂😪 #vent #rant

Very weird to be in that stage where a show is grabbing hold of your brain, but you haven't finished the show so you cant interact with fandom because spoilers, and you're watching it with someone else so you can't even just keep watching until you finish

#i am enjoying watching it with a friend and tbh having an assigned 'we'll watch it now' time is prob my best chance of finishing #on my own steam i'll probably burn out in s4 or something as per usual #but like its - i figured it would be a fun little zombie supernatural detective type thing #i thought it would be fun but was not expecting to start brainstorming fanfic ideas #granted who knows in advance what shows are going to be blorbos #but like! the charismastic asshole villain has amnesia! everyone is aware he has amnesia and are just kinda like #'we kinda pity you but you still suck' #and when he's just like 'okay?? why??' they were more than happy to give him an overview of the past two seasons #so now he's just like 'oh. okay. i. guess i am a serial killer that i cant remember. how do i deal with that?' #and idk how its going to end but i have a half-drafted plot of him getting his memories back steadily and is just like #'you know i didnt feel bad about it while doing it #but if you want to get some persepctive on your life develop amnesia and look at it from purely objective standpoint.' #or other plots like the time the love interest got arrested abd was being very very concerned about potentially starting an apocalypse #he didnt want to! he desperately didnt want to! but it was a risk #but yeah if i open a fanfic it'll probably say 'oh so how X died in the series finale' or something #and then i'll just have to accept X is dead

[avephelis]

anyway i'm not sorry about it but the reason i haven't posted art in a bit (aside from being busy) is i keep starting drawings and leaving them 60% done heart emoji

#anyway guess who was finally drawing fnc in a really normal and not body horror way #but yeah ive got like. an fnc thing an albatrio thing a birdbolt thing a meet the artist #like two animatics a commission chibis several graphics for another project a print ive been tryna finish for like two months #kyeah what can i say. im the king of poor management.

[jesterwaves]

my experience with percy jackson is kinda funny in hindsight because reading the first book for the first time i was like 'no way...thalia mentioned!!!!'

#the fool speaks #for clarity - i read the third??? book in elementary school before the others because i needed to get a higher reading level book from #another class and was very shy so they just asked if i wanted percy jackson and handed me the third??? book. it was. as you may have guesse #a tad confusing #and my memory of it is not great thalia was the only character i could really remember. i guess apart from The Percy Jackson. #so anytime they'd talk about the tree and thalia i was like I Know That Tree. I Know That Name #i always wanted to actually read the series from the beginning but never got around to it because a girl in church talked about #how she couldnt even read it anymore because of the gay character #now i am gay and finally reading again! its fun! i love being a nerd again! #(yes i cannot wait to meet nico for real LMAO) #Anyways i finished the first book! love how percy's adhd was portrayed! im going to pick up the second one from my library soonish #if it's in. but i have two books ahead of it an im torn on which book i should read #my heart wants to continue percy jackson but i probably should be getting started on one of these two... #one of them is probably mid at best though T_T #also i do want to watch the movies now that i have read the book so i can understand just why it was disliked. i cannot remember the #movie that well either. the first half of the book seemed pretty similar to what i remembered. the ending was definitely different #i assume thats the majority of the issue? but as i said. cannot remember it that well.

not nearly enough milfs in tangle tower, i've gotta change that.

#this is just a roundabout way of saying that i started sketching out ideas for what i think fitz's mom would look like #i was replaying tt so i could actually get a refresher on some details bc i couldn't remember the specifics of his parents #the wikia says fitz was born out of wedlock so that made me wonder if it's ever clarified if his parents actually got married #i'm guessing yes since emily's name is on the family tree but that doesn't answer what the hell happened to her #either she followed flint and probably got killed alongside him #or she left his ass and is still alive somewhere #the secret 3rd option... transman echo #which would be fun but i do like the idea of emily being his sister a lil bit more #anyways i'll share the drawings after i finish my replay and can finalize some more details #mj.txt #tangle tower spoilers

You really have no idea how long it takes to make a podfic until you do it yourself

#this isn’t like a jab or anything it’s an observation. #the same way someone might look at a finished painting and not know the hours of work behind it #unless you’ve done that yourself you know? #I stand by podfics being an important transformative work in fandom. for accessibility and for just the joy of making them. #and highly recommend giving it a try to really understand how much work goes into giving you fanfic audiobooks lmao #but actually okay you don’t need to try I have some numbers right here if you’d prefer #so uh the one I’m working on now. it’s a fic about 1.7k words long. #which was about ~22 minutes of recording. the recording is the easiest shortest and. usually the most fun part. because saying words is fun #but anyway that 22 minutes got edited down to around the final runtime of 13 minutes. #(this is before I go through it again to see if I should re-record a line or two.) #(usually only do that if something got Monumentally messed up because it’s sometimes hard to make two different recording sessions sync up #and sound similar enough to not throw the listener off. for me anyway. I’m not the greatest editor rip.) #anyway so. 13 minutes of podfic. #so want to guess how long the first round of editing took? #about an hour. give or take. #this stuff is time consuming! worth it! but time consuming. #so what im saying is if you see podfics that are multiple hours long. salute your troops.

I finally managed to finish Doom of Caras Gelebren and it was very good, but I'm laughing because you can pick out the exact moment where Amarthiel was consigned to long-distance soap opera duty for life. Like, this was probably her first assignment as a champion of Sauron and she got her ass handed to her on a plate. No wonder he gave her partner assignments in a Very Far Away Location from about TA 1300 through present day. Every weird, sort of inexplicable behavior from her can now easily be explained by the fact that two minutes into serving Sauron she told him she could beat Celebrimbor in a fight and promptly got knocked on her ass in ten seconds flat and she's still trying to get him to take her seriously again.

#lotro #'what did amarthiel want with amdir?' yeah i figured it out #shes trying to prove she can make wraiths and stuff really shes good at this kind of thing look hes fully a wraith now #come on i did good right? thats how you do it right? i made a wraith just like the witch king. mordiriths never made a wraith. #at least not an interesting one. mordirith couldnt do this come on get me out of this bum fuck angmar assignment #what do you mean some rando and a couple of rangers took out my wraith about ten seconds after we finally got him properly under control #in all seriousness it was a good skirm no notes its just #once again for newer players i think this is going to kind of mess up the reveal of who amarthiel is later #it doesnt have her actual name in it but its clear that celebrimbor knew her and i think it hints at the fact that she used to live there #which are like. the interesting points of who she is #again not currently a concern because i highly doubt any new players are going to be doing this skirm #probably it will be a very long time before anyone who hasnt at least finished volume 1 will have this expansion #so i guess as long as the skirm is bundled with the expansion #which i believe it is #but its something theyll have to do something about when it turns into one of those things they bundle for free in november in a few years
