#home is getting to say goodbye

[soullistrations]

wept for like two straight hours as i finished station eleven today because. the airport. the wheel. jeevan on the subway. the race at the dock and the hotel on another continent. the timeloop in the book. none of them got to go home, they were all stuck in this liminal space when the apocalypse hit them--jeevan even walked kirsten home but she couldn't get into her house anymore because she didn't have a key! this recurring question, of if the past matters, if it should be destroyed or enshrined, if we can go home again after a world-shifting tragedy. (like doctor eleven--they always come back, but can they ever go home?)

and THEN. and then kirsten and jeevan's final exchange--"it was so cold. she forgot her key." "you walked her home." i am weeping i tell you. she's come unstuck from that place of transit. she's home.

#a show will tell you 'home can be anything' #home is asking for help #home is getting to say goodbye #home is finally coming unstuck from the pain that's haunted you #home is hamlet with your mom #just. god. #i wasn't ready to watch this in 2021 but i finally got around to it and it was so good. #station eleven #rebamble #rebs watches things

Hello, Neighbor!

[Transcript Below]

Pallomine

"The tiniest neighbor in Welcome Home, Pallomine Playful has plenty to learn! They never grew out of their baby-face, nor the curious and excitable attitude that came with it. While they may not always be able to sing along with their neighbors, their trusty crayons are there to spell out the rest."

According to uncovered scripts, Pallomine seems to be an infrequent visitor to Home. Something akin to a special guest character, not much is known so far.

In the show, it seems Pallomine was introduced to cover more sensitive topics such as getting hurt or a fear of thunderstorms. It is also of note that they are often depicted having a sweet tooth.

#pallomine playful #welcome home oc #welcome home #digital art #elliot doodles #hehe here they are!! #every1 say hello 2 Pallomine #4 folks who didn't catch it pallomine is a play on words of “pal of mine” :] #I'm really bad at writing and i had a tiny amount of space 2 write their info so I'll ramble here a little! #pallomine is selectively mute! when they aren't speaking they will use cards or paper to communicate #i would have made them use sign language but they only have 4 fingers and that wouldn't be the best at accurately signing #also! #yk how in sesame street & stuff where they have a “child” puppet play roles that a kid watching can moreso relate to? #like if they're talking abt divorce or saying goodbye or getting hurt? thats basically pallomine's role in the neighborhood #bc even tho they r an adult they never rlly grew out of lookin like a little kid so they get cast for that kinda thing #anyway i love them sm i hope all of you love them too #also that hello piece only took like half an hour im proud of myself 4 that #elliot rambles

Not me thinking about Clay having an uncle-like relationship with Ingo and Emmet, alongside Drayden, their actual uncle. Then once Ingo gets eebied to Hisui, he meets Lian and feels this weird sense of familiarity, like has he seen that hat before? And Ingo acts like an uncle to Lian, similar to how Clay was for him. He gives Lian advice, hangs out with him, listens as Lian talks all about rocks and ores. And I think Lian tries to act more grown up than he really is, trying to prove himself as a worthy warden amongst the adults. But when he's alone with Ingo, he feels comfortable enough with him and Ingo insists that he gets to play and act like a child. Lian knows Ingo would never tell anyone if he ever acted a bit more goofy and silly, or if he cried or got upset. And Ingo wants Lian to act like the child he is. Sure, their duties as wardens to the Pearl Clan are important, but a kid is still a kid.

Anyway, just feeling feelings about Ingo and these rock collecting cowboys that are his family.

#me talking #pokemon #pla #clay #gym leader clay #lian #warden lian #submas #ingo #subway boss ingo #subway master nobori #warden ingo #also when ingo gets home i just like the idea of clay being one of the people to help ingo through the process #of grieving all the people he left in hisui #and i just would hope that before ingo leaves hisui he gets to say goodbye to everyone #and just little lian hugging ingo goodbye and shut up he's not crying he's a big kid! but also that's his uncle leaving him #so of course he's upset so no one can judge him #i just like ingo getting more family members #i love found family

When people think they can “only” talk to me for an hour:

#once you enter my extrovert conversational vortex you will never want to escape #I just know this is what happens to Saikī when he goes out for dessert with Aiura #he's like [I'm going to be in there for 20 minutes max] and 4 hours later Aiura's like “aww this was so fun but I RLY gotta go babe ttyl!!” #and he looks at his watch like [WHAT] and he's been talking with her the whole time and spilled his guts for at least 90 minutes #he's tired after but getting out his feelings felt good. cathartic. afterwards he sleeps better than he has in ages. #the next time she invites him out he tells himself he'll give her an hour at most. #but after the coffee jelly she mentions how it's such a beautiful day outside so they go walk in the park for a bit. #at dusk she asks for him to walk her home and he realizes it's been 7 hours. #she kisses his cheek and says her goodbyes and he realizes he would have happily stayed a few more hours with her

Changed their backstory and name now they are called Jewel mWHAHAHAHAGA

#it would be funny to explore a story where regular guys had normalish humanish lives #Jewels new backstory is based off of the fact that if my dog ran away hed prob pgo and plan world domination #evil dog #jewel ran away because the pet life wasnt it #cat food is not that yummy and she had to go look for her own bones and food ebcause the owner didnt know 💀💀 #regardless they love their owner/parnet(??) because they are silly #it would be funny for a human to realize that regular guys can assume human forms #im not sure about jewels story yet so this might change in the future #i wonder what jewel did through the years away from home #i bet jewel knew that old person y/n was getting older and wanted to say goodbye one last time? #OH GOD NO IM GONNA CRY #strange ass found family type shit lmoa

mary’s pearl earrings

november 1, 1983. after an exhausting MOPs meeting that made mary feel itchy and like her skin was too small to contain her, john drives her home. the neighbor is watching dean sleep, and little sammy is curled up in his carseat, the gentle rumble of the impala soothing him to sleep. MOPs meetings were easier without a baby, she thinks. she hates the other MOPs with a passion, but when she was a kid she always wished her mom was in the PTA and this is kind of like the first step. her earrings feel too heavy for her head and she thinks they might help with the headache, so she takes them off, resting them gentle on her skirt. when the impala parks in their driveway, sammy awakes with a cry. john is already half-out of the car to go relieve the neighbor. mary doesn’t have anywhere to put her pearl earrings, so she tucks them into the glove compartment. she’ll get them later. 

#they don't really look like pearls but i'm moving on. goodbye #dean winchester #mary winchester #mary campell #supernatural #arttag #*when john finds them 2 days later he cries #*he gives them to dean on valentines day after dean turns 20. #'for your girl' he says #'whenever you get one' #dean carries them in the impala glovebox for years #he pictures them dangling on cassie's ears #he doesn't think about wearing them himself until he meets rufus and even then he doesn't actually wear them #until the day cas comes home with pierced ears #dean's ears have been pierced for a long time but he doesn't really wear earrings #but if sammy can have long hair then dean can have dangly earrings #when mary comes back they're in dean's ears #she touches them gentle and tells him to keep them #they suit him better than they ever suited her

Sorry for being so rambly today (and last night) I have thoughts so onto the blog they go

I feel like part of the joy of art is in community, like you create something and you get to talk about it and share it with the world. This year I lost touch with the friends who I would always talk about art with and I think that loss is heavily impacting my ability to create (and the enjoyment I get from it.) I miss having a new idea and getting to ramble about it excitedly. I miss texting people the sketches and the mock ups and the color palettes.

I got into art for me. I wouldn’t show anything I made to anyone for years. So I’m no stranger for creating for the target audience of myself. Still, I miss that sense of community. I love this blog and I absolutely adore the lovely comments you all leave on my art but sometimes it feels so one-sided on here. I post a piece, I receive a lovely tag back and that’s it. End of story. I spend hours and hours working on something and it kind of disappears into the void in a day or so.

Trying to put it into words, but I think I wish I could create art that starts a conversation. That inspires people to create their own things in response, or even just talk with me about process. I think the perfectionism has gotten out of hand lately because I feel like I’m missing something—which I attribute to the quality of the piece—but really what I’m missing is buddies to chat about art with. There is no level of being “good enough” that will serve as a substitute for a real community.

#ahaha if you can’t tell I am a very introspective person #and a lonely one the transition to college has been rough and all my friends are back home #anyways I was thinking about drawing more stuff for my ocs today #and then I remembered the friend I loved to talk about them with hasn’t replied to me in a month #which is understandable. she’s busy. she made new friends. she’s not struggling like I am so it makes sense that she’s just kind of moved on #but I miss her #I had no chance of making it to her in group because all her friends she met through dance and I can’t dance for shit #I don’t even think she meant to ghost me but who knows #it sucks that I won’t get a real goodbye #anyways all of that to say I was going to draw my ocs and then I got so sad because who would I even share them with #there are a few art groups on campus but I have anxiety and mild agoraphobia and when I try to go I just feel awkward and shy #anyways if anyone ever wants to chat about art #it’s only one of my fav things in the whole world #lea talks #WHY CANT I BE A PROPER TORTURED ARTIST #WHY CANT I TURN MY ISOLATION INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL #WHY DO I NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO BE PRESENT IN THE PROCRESS #is it not enough to descend into a quiet madness on my own and create from that??

I like that they imply Launchpad continues going on McDuck adventures after getting with Drake. This means that they’re going to be long-distance at least some of the time, whether that distance is a city away or halfway across the globe. Sometimes Launchpad’s going to be hiking through some forest in Europe trying to keep the McDuck kids safe, and Drake will be at home trying to keep Gosalyn and St Canard safe. Sometimes Drake will call Launchpad, desperate just to hear his voice, but it’s five pm in Calisota and two am in Tokyolk, and the call never gets answered. Sometimes, they’ll wake up in different beds, half a world apart, and ache for the one that’s supposed to be beside them.

It also means Leavin on a Jet Plane works as a drakepad song, which I just love.

#duckverse #ducktales #ducktales 2017 #drake mallard #launchpad mcquack #drakepad #mine! #me: haha get it? cause it’s about planes? and lp’s a pilot? #also me: oh my god imagine lp having to say goodbye and not even knowing when he’ll come home.

Sometimes it's like. Ok, cool, small town, I can usually get a doctor's appointment same day, real quick and easy

And sometimes it's like well shit, small town, everyone is fucking sick, busy signal 4 times I call, get through and "oh, sorry, the earliest I could get you in is on the 22nd"

It is the 12th

#personal #i am Sick Again and have missed 2 days of work which is hell for my finances #i think i need to finally say goodbye to my savings account tbh nothing is going to be left in there #i don't think this is covid again i think I'm getting a sinus infection #had one of those afternoons where suddenly the post nasal drip started and i got a headache and it was like. hey what the fuck!!! #probably allergies.... but I'm uncomfy and my head feels like it is full of wool #congestion hell over here #thought I'd be ok to go to work today but i nearly fainted in the shower so.. don't wanna test my luck driving #thought 'oh no I've missed 2 shifts in a row I'd better have a doctor's note on hand and maybe keep this from getting worse' #not gonna happen i guess hsgshsgshsg #and I'm going thru the usual 'I'm at home all day i wanna sit outside i wanna draw i wanna paint' and i don't have the energy for it #it sucks it sucks it sucks

Just got back from my friend’s wedding :’) I think it says a lot that I was the only high school friend that showed up

#TBF the others in our friend group back then live in different states now #And flying out for a wedding can be SO expensive. #But yeah idk it just meant a lot to me :’) #And my friend (the groom) was SO happy to see me. And his family was too #That made me really glad 🤧 #The fact that he invited me to come at all also says a lot I think #And you know what maybe I cried on the way home in the car but that’s nobody’s business but mine!! #I’m very very happy for him. And his wife is SO sweet and so pretty #It’s just weird yk? Cause in high school I liked this guy SO much #Like I daydreamed about getting married to him some day #So seeing him marrying someone else felt very weird lol #Bittersweet mostly #Sorry this is super embarrassing LMAO but it’s not like I’m ever going to tell this to his face. #I know they’ll be very happy together and I’m so so glad he found someone that fits together with him so well #He’d better come to MY wedding tho. In the future. LOL #Shima speaks #It was a very ‘saying goodbye to your first love’ kind of thing. #Even after I confessed to him in high school (and got rejected) I never really stopped liking him #Like I just never got over it I guess. Even tho I KNEW nothing would ever come of it #Idk sometimes it’s hard to let that stuff go! It’s hard to stop liking someone after you liked them for so long and so strongly #I want to say I’m over it now but considering I was crying in my car: #Well. JFJSJMFMSMSNN #I know I don’t feel that way for him anymore like as a fact but. Idk it was weird— #Again bittersweet. I think I just needed a second to process and really let it sink in #Goodbye to my high school fantasy //waves a handkerchieff #Also MAYBE I saw them be so happy and was like. Why can’t I have that with someone. HUH #Leetle jealous. I need to find me a someone *squint emoji* #Anyway rant over wedding was good I’m just an idiot ;)
