An untitled free verse poem written 3/10/2015, with metaphors I would one month later shape into this poem

#i was so down bad for that boy it's unbelievable #do you guys remember the 'excel aesthetic' trend from five seconds in 2015? pepperidge farms remembers #creatediana is pepperidge farms. that's the design choice i went for for the poem i did post at the time hahahahaha #2015 #hs sophomore #free verse #teenage poetry #poem #love poetry #yeah my aroace ass does not get like that anymore #juvenalia #metaphor #the little rainbow streaks in the background of this poem yes are a subtle reference to my rainbow excel aesthetic from 2015 #points for those of you in the audience who caught on #someone has to care about creatediana history trivia around here. that someone is me!

buddie high school au

au where buck and maddie are only two years apart in age and move to texas the summer before maddie’s senior year, right next door to the diazes.

buck was prepared for tacos and cowboys, not for his next door neighbor to be the prettiest guy he’d ever seen. to no one’s shock or surprise—least of all maddie’s—buck falls for eddie in about three seconds flat and spends the entire summer pining after him.

eddie doesn’t know what to do with the unfamiliar flutter that tickles its way down his spine every time buck smiles at him, but he does know if he has to go more than thirty minutes without seeing said smile he’s pretty sure he’ll die.

and maddie’s just glad eddie’s friends, hen and chimney, are cool, because if she had to deal with her brother being an idiot by herself she wouldn’t make it to graduation.

(and if chimney asks her to be his homecoming date and then kisses her in the car when he drops her off well…that’s pretty nice, too)

#sorry to enjoy high school aus on main unfortunately i love YA romance #buddie #madney #be quiet bia #i’ve always wanted to write a hs au for them too </3 sigh #in this au buck’s a sophomore eddie’s a junior and everyone else is a senior #bobby obviously is buck’s english teacher who he imprints on #ALSO maddie a cheerleader. eddie and buck are on the football team. chim and hen are the health aids. i forgot what they’re called. #taylor would be in yearbook. she’s not in this au but she would totally be in yearbook.

TF2 updated so I'm taking this post out of drafts:

The TF2 Mercs are a part of the internet equivalent of the commedia dell'arte stock characters. Being automatically included in Source derivative software such as SFM and GMod, they're very easily available as premade rigs for amateur animators to use in their works. The simple, cartoony, and discernible designs make them very easy to read at any angle, which although originally used to be easily read in a competitive gaming environment, translates well to comedy skits. Unlike similar games such as Overwatch, where they're practically over-designed in a very definite artstyle, TF2 characters are lacking in accessories as a default. Generally wearing simple single color jackets, t-shirts and pants. In fact, the varied nature of TF2's cosmetic system makes them perfect as dress-up dolls, making it very easy to reuse the same base model and differentiate between them.

That brings me to their characterization. Even though most if not all have pretty well defined backstories and narratives, outlined in the supplementary media of comics and Meet the Videos, their baseline personalities can be easily transplanted into various skits and narratives with minimal introduction. Scout is a cocky jackass. Soldier is a dimwitted, overly patriotic American. Heavy is simultaneously soft-spoken and boisterous Russian who revels in violence. These simple yet understood personalities mean you can bypass proper character introductions by identifying who's in what role from the start, similar to the archetypes from the aforementioned commedia dell'arte.

You don't even have to be a fan of tf2 to grasp these roles. The ubiquity of SFM as free 3d animation software is a self supporting introduction. If you are unfamiliar with tf2's narrative, simply consuming a handful of these animations can get you up to speed.

Simultaneously, TF2's narrative is just as batshit as the fan animations that are inspired by it. You could certainly use other valve properties for similar reasons regarding animation accessibility, but TF2 embracing comedy from the start and the simple insanity of its characters means you can transport them to a wider array off stories while asking for a much smaller suspension of disbelief.

A Half Life animation is far more likely to be about Half Life than any given TF2 animation is about TF2. Many of them are, but way more are simply not.

TF2 as a property has a lot of staying power. 16 years now and even with minimal support from valve, it still soldiers on (pun intended) as a significant part of internet meme culture. I find it's notoriety akin to Hatsune Miku, where they're given a second life outside of the purpose of their original creation. They're less FPS characters, and more little dolls novice animators smack together for the entertainment of others.

And at the end of the day that's almost all it really takes. A significant slice of media engagement and fan works for the internet at large could not care less about Canon or the main narrative, even if its well regarded, because the biggest draw for many is simply taking strong personalities and putting them in funny situations. It's why incorrect quotes are absolutely everywhere despite the fact that a good 80% of them do not fit the original characters one bit. Meanwhile, TF2 as a property actively encourages it.

The following are all fan animations that have jack shit to do with each other or the original canon--be it in game, the original animations, or expanded comics--and yet they're still ultimately cohesive as these little shorts that play with the cast as archetypes, with their own recognizable appearances and roles.

me (emo) and my friend (a huge swiftie) kept mentioning to our pe teacher that we should have a class playlist bc it would be so painfully chaotic. in classic pe teacher fashion, all she would play were pop top 40 type playlists from the 2010s. centuries by fob came on at one point, and i was losing my shit. i mentioned it to the teacher, and next class, while me and my friend were sitting out, she handed us her phone like "fall out boy? thats what you said, right? put some songs in." my friend and i filled the queue up with taylor swift and fall out boy. it was epic. now that we've finally got her to make an actual class playlist, sometimes fob or paramore just randomly comes on while we're playing badminton or whatever and its amazing. i am very patiently waiting for planetary go! to finally play. its the one mcr song i decided wasnt too angsty, screamy, or sexual for school, and was also hype enough for gym class.

#fun fact my pe teacher sophomore year played blink 182 a few times i lost my mind #if anyone has other mcr song suggestions for a highschool pe class pls hmu #i havent seen anyone react to any of my songs on the playlist yet but it has only been a few days and also i suck at paying attention #or just emo songs for hs pe in general #hopefully this isnt too painful to read #emo #emo music #2000s emo #fob #fall out boy #mcr #paramore #my chem #my chemical romance #danger days: the true lives of the fabulous killjoys #danger days #taylor swift #swifties #swemo #ramblings #storytime

society if hoo had them at uni age and the lost trio went to chb and chiron is like "how tf are ANY of u alive and unclaimed". wilderness was just community college.

#on a serious note this changes a lot actually. annabeth and percy would not be in chb anymore so when percy goes missing #its like. a genuine possibility and fear because demigods don't make it that old. there is also some added time between tlo and tlh as well #further adding to jasons isolation as being even WEIRDER than everyone else. he also would've been praetor for longer so maybe the romans #wouldve cared more. this also does away with the plot hole of ppl not giving a shit that jason piper and leo (and dylan) straight up #dipped. introducing piper especially to a summer camp makes chb less appealing because they're too old for that and thus makes their #departure from chb make more sense in toa. yet also it opens up the possibility of new rome uni.... which i cannot see any reason as to why #leo would not go there!!!!! outside of being banned cuz he bombed new rome lol. but pipers sexuality arc works for college too!!! ur never #too old to find urself. but also this is the question of if you are able to relatively function in society (this is more for piper leo fran #and i guess percy) then why would you even fight this prophecy??? anyway lol them being college aged is perfect cuz percy is literally #going to a new place and having a new transition with new ppl... like u do in college LOL. now the question is would hazel still be 13. nic #is a lot older at this point and perhaps has the same age gap as bianca and him did 🤔 cant remember. but also don't know why hazel was 13 #in the first place lol. idk. in my college hoo she is just a senior in hs about to graduate from spqr and thinking about staying there or #possibly going to newru after seeing frank make the decision the previous year! SAD! #anyway in hoo. percy and annabeth are sophomores. frank and the lost trio are freshman. #but then in toa. percy annie frank and the lost trio are all graduating cuz percy got held back and Annabeth failed after tartarus fr. #but then also know that piper never went to newru and is adamant about going to mortal uni. and leo kills in newru but is bored. nvm i #forgot he died 🧍‍♂️ ummmmmm ok. ignore leo. and jason actually. so um. ok that really threw me off but are u getting it. that's when apollo #is like 'heeyyyyy i need help pwease 🥺' and they're all like 'dude.' #OK! #but also i ackowedge that this is a children's book and i am not its demographic so god be with you.

Still crying over my friend telling me that they’ve never heard of Chief Keef-

#put me on my ass like heavyweight #rambling #he’s a legend if you never minded drill music and even if you hated it he still kind of became the face of the entire sub genre at such a #young age and he had white kids and nbs in the suburbs and other countries wanting to be a black kid from the hood like he had grown men #growing out their locs 😭… #everyone wanted to be chief keef lmfao #insane #he hasn’t been back to Chicago ever since he left all of those years ago but it’s Better if he never came back anyway for his own safety #tbh #I’m glad he’s still alive lol #lil Reese went to our hs and was in my sisters class and was one of the bad ass kids #one of CK’s friends and stuff #i probably saw him myself before since one of his friends or himself was passing out mixtapes and i remember taking it since it was free #and I didn’t want to be rude #i remember being on my way home back from school I was probably a sophomore in hs or so and it was raining #I felt so bad for throwing it away since I didn’t like drill at the time but after giving his music a chance I was like NOOOOOO #I felt like that person who bought that nge character book and scrubbed off Anno’s signature because they thought it was scrabble bro
