You're still standing off to the side. Somehow, center stage has shifted from under your feet without you realizing, and you're standing in the wings, performing to no one.

Starring Role (Patreon)

#My art #ISaT #ISaT Spoilers #Siffrin #Loop #Technically - you know how it goes #Me when I relate to Siffrin: Oh no haha that's probably not great whoops haha #Me when I relate to Loop: Oh. Oh No.#Lenti has such a deathgrip on my ISaT opinions wtf how is she so powerful I thought my fave was Sif?? But I mean well-#Lol #Does this count as vent idk lol #It was fun to write tho :) Very easy! Done all at once!#As was drawing this! Also done all at once! And black and white is still really fun to work with hehe #I got to use some pretty cool outline/lineart tricks for this one yay :D #The original draft of the fic had a different title but ''Starring Role'' is kinda?? too perfect???#To the point where I looked around and I was like #Kinda shocked that there doesn't Seem? to be another fic with the same title?#Which is.........oddly relevantly thematic to this fic actually hahaha #Not to get too exacting about it but the whole thing of Loop feeling replaceable well #It would imply that other someones could do what they do better than them #What an odd refutation. Huh. Weird #Anyway - behind the scenes fun fact!#I actually really love the song Starring Role but I didn't think of it until after writing this #And now that I sing it to myself it's actually kinda perfect what the heck #So that's something to think about as well #Anyway if you're going to listen to it pls listen to the Axiom remix it is The version in my heart <3 #The glitches and stutters are perfect.....#And the clock ticking?? Why is this song so ISaT I'm gonna think about this for a while now heck #Animatic in my head shower thought -core lol

Force the last page of our story

You're my favourite allegory

Hope to god that you'll forgive me

My mistakes will long outlive me

Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all.

i hope ruby gets a well-that’s-alright-then-style notdeath. on the one hand it will make haters mad because oh no not another companion with an impermanent end (and i like to see haters mad) on the other it would require creativity to depict this in a new way + i love all the implications i love the dark fairytale quality of these companion exits i love my un-undead schrodinger’s women

with the way the legend of ruby sunday is titled… legends aren’t usually told about living people. legends are stories of the bygone past, of an age long since over, fictionalised and overgrown with folklore like barnacles sticking to an abandoned shell. there is such a thing as a living legend, but they’re exceedingly rare. the unmistakeable raven’s call in the 73 yards teaser, the trailer’s cut to fifteen crying alone after promising to cherry he’d protect her daughter… the foreshadowing is clear as day…

and yet. there’s one massive HOWEVER. ruby appears in s15: millie’s been spotted on set filming it. which leads me to believe — the doctor isn’t one to take the time travel route and revisit companions that in his future are genuinely dead. that would hurt too much, it would cause unnecessary trauma and could break the timeline. that must mean ruby stays alive in some way. ish. she’s alive and a legend and a mystery. girl-ballad girl-song girl-paradox

here she is, fading out.

p.s.: thesis statement on moffatgirls from the tags i left on somebody else’s post about charley pollard.. well it belongs here since it’s basically the semiotic hurricane swirling around ruby at the moment :)

#on a personal level what interests me about these characters is precisely what gets them labeled as being subject to #misogynistic writing by pop-feminist video-essayists. as an autistic girl* (*ish) however; i find female characters that #aren’t quite ‘normal people’; women who represent an idea or concept or are a puzzle to be solved or a manic pixie dream girl to be #more and in a way far more interesting than a girl-next-door-type universally relatable protagonist #they make for more nuanced stories with more symbolism and more layers of interpretation usually. why should there be realism in a #fantastical narrative? similarly i like characters that are haunting the narrative or dead before it began (big locked tomb fan if you #didn’t know) and like. not to be tvtropes but the lost lenore archetype. dead woman who spurs the hero on to recklessness or revenge.#i identify with that dead girl. the laura palmers of the world. set the story in motion without #necessarily having agency. maybe it’s something to do with my #constant background radiation of passive suicidality. in a fun whimsical way :) i would never kill myself but i don’t want to be a real #person. i want to be objectified but not necessarily in a k*nky s*xual way (that too) in a princess in a tower way #the ultimate femme fantasy innit? there’s something about it. hashtag problematic hashtag conforming to gender roles #10000 tags be upon ye #ruby sunday #millie gibson #doctor who #dw #steven moffat #clara oswald #fifteen #fifteenth doctor #twelveclara #amy pond #charley pollard #river song #donna noble #ncuti gatwa #doctor who meta #jamie.txt #haunting

In my fix-it wip, Ghost makes a playlist of music he knows Soap likes. Its purpose is to fill the silence of the hospital room and, maybe, bring his sergeant some familiarity to his unconscious brain. Ghost has heard some songs blaring in the gym on base, knows some from long drives to a safe house, and others from when Johnny sketches at his desk after rough missions—a decompressing space only he’d ever been allowed into.

This is what I imagine that playlist might sound like.

Some Soap music taste hcs under the cut because might as well while I'm here~

He likes anything that makes him feel something or makes him want to move around

Concerning AC/DC, he acts like a bon scott purist but truly loves it all

Scotland pumps out the best music artists and he was put on this earth to tell everyone

He only knows a lot of songs because of them playing during football. He will die before he ever admits this.

He's a decent singer (I think Neil’s and Gerry Cinnamon’s diction and pitch would sound quite similar for reference)

When he listens to music through earbuds or headphones, people in the next room can still hear. This is of course because of his shit hearing but also a part of why he has shit hearing. An endless cycle.

Also! Thank you @eiraeths and @traumschwinge for the suggestions—I had to cut out a lot just to keep it under 5 hours, but kept Mr. Brightside and Sex on fire in honour of both of you 🫡 aaand thank you to @solivagantingrebel for your endless enthusiasm <3

#ghostsoap #soapghost #ghoap #lots of scottish artists here i couldn't control myself #I made this for myself really (and you Camus 👁️) but here it is in all its 4hrs and 20min glory should anyone else want a peek #i have. a whole separate playlist of songs that i relate to the fic itself that i'll probably share one day too #anyway here’s wonderwall #(not really)#wtf do I tag this as #me finally going full mental??#sundowning fic #music recs

The backlash against Frozen, which, from my observation, has cooled down (that isn't a joke, I swear-) quite a bit over the past few years, was less based on the quality of the movie itself and more on the fact that its massive success and reach really overshadowed a lot of other movies that came out prior to it and after it and was getting credited for stuff that had already been done before plenty of times, and in many cases, in those exact movies. This is why, to this day, many fans STILL refuse to give Tangled its props without trying to put Frozen down in some way. In their eyes, Tangled should have gotten the glory and accolades Frozen received, but did not, and that made them quite jealous. Overall, Frozen is far from a bad movie. It's a great movie with a great message, characters, music and does actually deserve the success and recognition it got, and some fans need to stop being so salty about it and uplift their fav movies without putting Frozen down so they get the proper appreciation they deserve as well. Although, yes, the credit this movie got for allegedly introducing themes, archetypes and tropes that had already been seen before in Disney, including movies set in a fairytale world with heroines as the protags, was undoubtedly the most annoying part about its success and is part of the reason why many tried to drag this movie and its main leads.

#disney #frozen #txt #ngl i was part of the hate train for a long time too #not as much as others tho but still i was one of these people who thought frozen was overrated af #but now i realized i was kinda full of it for that opinion #when i saw it the first time the major gripe i had with how many songs it had #but now i'm actually fine with that #idk my stance on this movie had always been a weird one #i have always contradicted myself when it came to this movie #until recently when i've finally begun to embrace it #i have always liked it and not liked it? idk. it's been weird #i do want to see thiw franchise get expanded but i'd prefer a tv series #and i think frozen ii needs a retcon ngl that movie was a whole shitshow writing wise #and the message was not as impactful i'm sorry but it's in line with the typical “the power is actually in me” bullshit #it's some selfish nonsense and is against the main theme of almost every disney movie #which is about how your dreams will come true if you have faith AND do for others. something even better will happen or you will want #something else entirely #it's about selflessness love and sacrifice whether it's romantic platonic familiar or even related to the community as a whole #but anyways that's an entirely different point #so yeah frozen isn't a terrible movie you guys. i think the anger is misplaced

I am crowdsourcing for help because I feel like this album has been ruined for me by having too much exposure to “what it’s about” before I imprint my own memories on it and find my own meaning in it. I don’t wanna think about how x is about pining for Matty Healy while with Joe because I need to be able to find relatability in it which I cannot do if all I can see when I hear each lyric is a photo of HER situation. This has gone from being the best album I’ve ever heard to something I can’t even listen to because I don’t wanna hear it In That Way within 24 hours, every lyric is stained with like, thinking about Taylor emotionally cheating instead of relating it to me??? and I’m just looking for some deconstruction of that belief, so if anyone can come in my ask box and tell me why the theory that TTPD a 3 arc story about how she was pinning after Matty while with Joe so dumped Joe and then she regretted it makes no sense and can’t be true - without saying “it’s because MY theory is what’s true here’s my theory!1!!1!1” I’d really appreciate it. I really really really need this out of my brain

#i respect however y’all interact with an album but the autopsy-ing to find out the exact plot is so unrelatable to me #and doing that with finding the subject matter on each Midnights song within a few hours is why I just never connected with that album #The Truth is however I relate to it and once it is concretely about her there’s no room for me to put myself into it first so #and then idk over YEARS of listening I can see the EXACT plot in it. and like it’s cool to know x but listening like it’s a story to decode #I’ve come to realize that style of listening is really bad for me #I love illicit affairs so much in part bc I have no fucking CLUE what went on with her with that #that song is about ME and MY illicit affair and fuckall nothing else #and if I knew Jake did x y or z and it’s about that right off the bat I never ever would’ve loved it as much #and yeah this was my favorite album EVER and I just completely shattered my ability to connect with it #/////:

i'm the antonymph of the internet

#how many tributes to this song will i make in my life #MANY ! it literally changed my life and means a lot to me. i love antonymph and vylet pony's music is worth checking out - please do.#unsupervised internet access as a queer neurodivergent kid anthem !!#i chose to do misty since we all know i like drawing her in experimental pieces and putting her in outfits. she also has art in a gir hoodi #from the clash team in treasure trove!! :D #this is also experimental/stylistic as well!! had fun!! nice to just draw something in one day and not worry. leaves me tired but...#haven't done a nice piece like so in one day in a while!!! i'm very proud :] it's a fun one #anyways... both a little tribute to the song and misty as a character #ihave so many thoughts about misty even if i dont talk publicly on them. shes a very interesting character to me and i care about her so #much. i compared her to fluttershy in the past - and realized that if i liked ttcc as a kid she would've been my favorite.#fluttershy on her own meant a lot to me as a child. including mlp itself as it's one of the core things that got me into drawing art online #a lot of my analysis on misty and headcanons at least on the more emotional scale do come from a bit of projecting but...it makes it more #fun to me when i can put myself into the shoes of a character like her who i already relate to. rrghh too bad im scared to talk about her #too much in nuanced detail in public since some people are... not so nice about her. though i know the tumblr audience is nice and unders #standing!!#anyways from me just having fun being me #i let misty have a little bit of fun... something i think she would possibly enjoy? i do see her as someone who gets nostalgic #and is stuck in more childish things and matters. she wants to play ip dip with you...its very sweet to me. letting myself and her be #confident through a song that means so much to me is kind of powerful to me. i had a lot of fun making this drawing.#anyways. love this song. love ttcc. love mity /p. be swag and be self indulgent and have fun. you can do anything u want forevah #toontown #toontown corporate clash #antonymph #guz art #rainmaker

Being aroace kind of sucks sometimes...

Like I want to have someone that I can be close to in that way, who cares about me romantically that I can reciprocate

But yknow I don't get to have that :[[

Like I'm happy with my friends and family I love them all dearly but sometimes I'd like someone who I can have that level of relationship with without it being just friends know ://

#I've been listening to chappell roan #and tbh I can apply it pretty well to being aroace as well #I am aware that's not what it is about #but sue me if I want to relate a banging song to myself #but being aroace isn't all bad #I do love it a lot of the time #just sometimes when I'm reminded of what I'm missing it sucks #but i still love the level of friendships I can develop because I know they're never going to be anything more #aroace #aromantic #asexual #queer #system vent #vent

Do you still sketch your OCs from your stories? It feels kinda sad we haven't seen your original stuff for so long. 😢

Ahhh I occasionally do sketches that I leave in a sketchbook yeah-

I appreciate the folks who do like my original stuff ye ye ye ye there's no doubt about it- unfortunately I feel a certain level of disconnect with the majority of the OCs I've spent time on, Kirkewood characters a result of burnout, and other OCs I used to frequently draw but not much any more I won't get into other than the fact they don't bring me much joy-

Also somewhat frustratingly for me personally is that the motivation for creating new characters/stories is very short-lived, I think part of that is feeling a certain level of guilt for having essentially abandoned older OCs/projects given that there was/were other people involved- like "oh you'll spend time on these new things but won't on older things you've already spent countless hours developing on?" sort of thing and then I won't work on anything and just stick to fan art

#thinking about it now it is kind of depressing and lame pffffffffft #like yeah i know the song and dance 'you can draw and create whatever you want' but i tend to overthink on what other people think/feel #and end up tying myself down a bit #not to say drawing fanart is limiting but i do feel a great deal of admiration for artists who have made a name for themselves creating #almost strictly their own ideas #not to mention the ever looming 'nobody will care unless its related to popular media' internet artist fear #which isn't true of course but #the thought is still there pffffffffffffffff

idk if this is controversial or not, but you can interpret queer subtext in songs/shows/films without speculating about the creator’s sexuality. there isn’t ONE single way to interpret a piece of media. they’re made for people to enjoy and relate to

#for example: as a queer person i relate a lot to lacy by olivia rodrigo #but that doesn’t mean i think olivia rodrigo is or isn’t queer #i just think you can have a queer interpretation of the song #this also applies to a lot of taylor swift songs #i do not associate myself with ‘gaylors’ bc it’s fucked up to speculate about someone’s identity #that being said: when i listen to dress i picture it being about a queer couple #that doesn’t mean it was taylor’s intention #but i can listen to a song and feel however the fuck i want #olivia rodrigo #taylor swift #summer says stuff #queue wanna be a loser like me

#was literally trying to work on an expensive mistakes edit last night and was having trouble making it look the way i wanted it to #i wanted to do it justice because i love that song. it’s always one of my most listened to songs and the bridge means the most to me #i don’t want to say i’m sad they played mania but i’m admittedly selfishly sad i wasn’t there #i’ll wake up tomorrow and the world will go on and i’ll be okay. but i’m sad tonight #i feel like nobody really understands why i’m so sad too and i just feel lonely about it #hiding under a blanket trying so desperately to remind myself this is a good thing and it’s the healing tour and blah blah blah #telling myself fall out boy wouldn’t want me to be sad #but i’ve spiraled so much that i just wish i could disappear #on a related note i admire fall out boy so much for everything they’ve survived and how open they are about it #pete doesn’t lay under a blanket and think about dying anymore. i hope one day i can say the same. he gives me hope #sorry for the whiny dramatics. i will get over this but i’m letting myself be sad Tonight

‘cause in my head, you’re still alive

and i know that it’s a lie

a concept, for if i can talk myself into a Modern AU: sylki 'creepy photographer' AU

#like in the 1996 babybird song #she has the camera obviously #i can't think of any justification for this set-up but for some reason it's nagging at my brain a bit #why am i like this though? why do i need to convince myself there are 'legitimate reasons' for some odd fanfic concept?#i also feel like the title should be “you're gorgeous ;)” and the smiley would be part of that title. WHY THOUGH? WHY???#*sighs and makes a note in google docs Just In Case*#fic related

i refuse to believe mxtx has not listened to at least one or both of the songs 'viva la vida' by coldplay, and 'pompeii' by bastille. i refuse

#this isn't even me like vaguely connecting lyrics to characters like i love to do (see 'third eye' and 'third eye (demo)' for hua cheng)#like istg i could make a full analysis post about how these two songs (especially the latter)#relate to xie lian and bai wuxiang respectively #i could do it right now #and NO this post was not brought about by my ardent desire to have an actually GOOD mash-up of those two songs #that combines elements of both while keeping a fair balance between both songs.#like come on PLEASE i *need* to listen to a mash-up where the person doing it confidently puts together the respective bridges #it CAN be done and if you do everything else at least semi-well and it sounds smooth then you WILL have created a masterpiece #i would do it myself but i have neither the means nor ability #anyway. didn't mean to ramble off on that tangent.#jk i totally did lmaoooo #this post is about tgcf btw. if you didn't pick up on that. lmao #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #xie lian #bai wuxiang #this post is so vague i feel bad tagging anyone else lmao #hob #heaven official's blessing

Random ass post about adhd and art making

adhd is like yeah I’m struggling most of the time to do basic tasks and assignments that aren’t fun and don’t feel rewarding which is a highly embarrassing problem that I would probably benefit from taking medication to solve but at the SAME TIME when I wanted to make an 100 page comic I did it without even knowing that time was passing, and when i was suddenly stricken with the urge to make a doll out of clay with fabric and doll hair despite never doing it before I spent 10 hours doing so, also without knowing that time was passing; AND when I am drawing just for fun I will do it for hours… also without knowing that time is passing… idek if I can describe how fun it actually is to be in like, a state of hyperfocus…. It is actually like the best feeling in the world not to be dramatic. I hadn’t experienced it for so long after starting college. It only happened with one school assignment (comic) but it happens again now with my senior thesis now that I’m doing paintings. It’s almost an essential thing because when I’m so focused like that I HAVE to power through any frustrations, because I’m so obsessed with doing the task. I mean it’s not good to be so focused that u don’t notice being hungry or thirsty or tired, but as long as u make sure u have some snax and water nearby….

The only thing is I really need like, a curtain for my studio. Bc not to be corny but my painting process in particular is really physical, like painting time is also listening to music time which involves singing and dancing. I will spare my studio neighbors the singing. but the dancing cannot be helped, frankly, so I need a privacy curtain. IT MAKES THE ART BETTER!!! I kinda feel like making art in public spaces has messed me up a little, cuz I didn’t realize how much of a private process it really is for me (prob just cuz I’ve been in art classes since i was a kid). But truthfully I HAVE to be annoying while making my art or it won’t be the same. And I know that doing shit like dancing in ur studio is annoying as fuck and probably comes off as like fake or performative like ooouh I’m such an artist in my own world so much teehee…. Looool but that’s also why I have an easier time doing work at night. No one’s there!!! one exception. I can make art at home tho with family because we are all the same. amen.

#I actually think the thing that got me out of a depressive slump where I could hardly do anything for like 2 weeks was that #I finally allowed myself to draw for hours WITHOUT setting timers.#I rely on timers to tell me how much time is passing #but I found out that they make me feel really guilty #even when I’m doing shit that’s actually productive #so I guess I need a new system. LOL #OH AND ABOUT MUSIC #It’s so awesom #sometimes it becomes part of the art #a lot of my paintings especially have a song that I associate with them that’s like imbued into it #it isn’t always thematically or lyrically related but #it always makes sense somehow to my brain #it’s awesome…..#I love you Music you are brothers with Art
