#rambling in preparation

[arikihalloween]

Lately I've been reworking on all of my aus

I'm happy to announce that I drew the whole cast of my Soul Eater AU ! And Breton AU will follow

Next up would be Wakfu AU, and Pantheon, I'd love to finish the stain glass illustrations...

Which AU do yall want me to talk about first ?

#welcome home #welcomehome #welcome home au #welcome home oc #ramble #rambling in preparation #I'm just feeling silly and I want to interact with people #I like rambling #I also included Pause Garden because that stuff has been my personal project for years but I never had an audience to talk too #but ik most of my audience here is for Welcome Home #there is content ready #just need to determine which I post first lol #i can also make a new Nyxie funfacts list #but who is curious about Nyxie anyway haha

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

#the fact i expected him to be made fun of just reflects how queer people are usually presented in media #i was preparing myself for an awkward scene full of secondhand embarrassment for izzy #but then it didn’t happen. And it just made me immediately feel so warm and fuzzy inside. #like he can express the not socially acceptable parts of himself and not be outcast for it #and that’s just so fantastical to me #our flag means death #ofmd #ofmd spoilers #our flag means death spoilers #ofmd s2e6 #izzy hands #rambling #i speak!

thinking about Nico adjusting to letting himself miss and long for the people he loves. based on these bits from the sun and the star:

" As Nico and Will followed the trogs, he thought about how much he missed Hazel. He was learning to make peace with that feeling. It was okay for him to miss people because that meant he wanted them around in his life. That idea was *very* new for him- he was used to either pushing people away or watching them recoil from his presence." *

" That was the most surreal thing of all... Was he happy? Nico wasn't very familiar with the sensation, but he couldn't deny that he felt wonderful in Will's presence. He even longed for the son of Apollo when they were apart. A funny thing had happened as the two grew closer: Nico suddenly understood all those cheesy, sappy love songs he'd always hated."

#its just. i like that they included that in the book yk. the fact that he prepared a certain distance between everyone #and thus isnt used to missing anyone #so its strange for him #this is probably set somewhere pre tsats just because i like to think it was one of the times he found himself missing and longing. #but it was one of the first times he actually allowed himself to feel that way. #took the feeling and held it instead of banishing it away #also yes letting himself unmask a bit #i like to think he just gets wayyy more expressive with his hands the more he heals #that and he unmasks more!!! more openly stimming!! more special interest rambles!! #just oughh. #anyways this was a huge comic to colour #big fuck you to tumblr who made posting soooo much harder #fuck u and ur updates tumblr #solangelo #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #nico di angelo #will solace #the sun and the star #trials of apollo #they borrow clothes from eachother its real in my head okay #nico canonally bought will a stupid shirt as a joke tho and i love that for them

Get Souped!

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #jiang yanli #I'm back! #She would never say 'get souped idiot' but I like to imagine JC and WWX would say it to each other if the other got sick and needed soup #JYL would never throw soup without knowing full well you would be able to catch it #She would rather fall face first than drop a bowl of soup after tripping. #She’s been hard at work preparing this soup! And all of you get to have some B*) Thanks for all the support while I was on break! #‘was your break relaxing op?’ unfortunately it was like being kicked down several flights of stairs. Didn't draw much sadly #Though I did end up writing a little mdzs fic! I haven’t written anything in a long while but it was fun. Maybe I'll post it....maybe... #regardless of all this rambling; thank you for all the kind messages. ill try and reply soon! #i have a few more fun doodles before I'm ready to crack into season 2! #Enjoy the soup in the mean time! #(PS: I know that's not the right hand shape for the meme redraw but augh...the OG hand angle was...way too hard to draw). #edit: retagged as better drawn mdzs. I put a lot into this one

What if an AU where Steve actually didn’t graduate, but he’s pretending he did and that he just didn’t get into any colleges because if his parents find out he’ll be out on his ass. He’s eighteen, able to intercept any messages the school does happen to send home, and after Starcourt he changes his emergency contact to Robin’s parents or something.

But it starts with being called into the principal’s office to receive the news. He’s an athlete and the school’s golden boy, so the principal tries to give him an out. He’s a good kid, just obviously got derailed in his studies sometime during junior year… maybe by drugs. Is he *sure* he wasn’t pressured into buying anything by Eddie Munson?

At some point the principal tells Steve point blank that if he sells The Freak out, he can graduate and not have to repeat. All of this can just go away.

Steve still says no, he didn’t get anything from Munson. He’s barely ever talked to the guy. (He’s not even lying—Tommy always took care of that stuff back when Steve still threw parties, albeit with Steve’s money.)

He doesn’t know that Eddie is in a chair just outside the door waiting for his own special “you flunked” audience.

-

Eddie is chewing rabidly on his hair because he knows that if he were offered this deal he would’ve sold King Steve out in a second, and it’s making him feel like a complete shitstain.

He is not offered that deal, which is why he uses his longest sewing needle to puncture a sloooow leak into all four of Principal Higgins’ tires less than an hour later. But this means… he only has a few months of summer break to decide if and how he should thank Steve for not throwing him under the bus.

#jean rambles #steddie #what if a fic #it has been pointed out that a sewing needle would not be up to that task #but eddie brought a thimble and a hammer and he is prepared to do whatever it takes #up to and including giving up and pulling out his switchblade after a very dogged twenty-five minutes of giving it all he’s got

Alice saying "bussin" was not on my Magnus Protocol bingo card.

#listen i was not mentally prepared for it #like i know we all know by this point that she is definitely an active tumblr user and chronicly online #so its not a surprise that she *knows* bussin and what it means #but just hearing her say it gave me a little whiplash #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp spoilers #the magnus protocol spoilers #tmagp 13 #alice dyer #rambles from the void

shoutout to everyone else whose "art process" consists of thinking about starting the art for 5 hours (refreshing tumblr for 5 hours straight looking at the same 3 posts) and not doing anything with their day until finally starting the art at like 8pm

...Bruce and Danny cuddling as father-son for the first time must be so heartbreaking and fulfilling all at once. Bruce, the hands that hurt and cannot heal. Hands that held broken corpse after broken corpse, yet can never keep the living ones close. Danny, who only knows hands that hurt him. Hands of others that hold him back, hold him down; his own hand that pressed a button and brought the killing blow.

Just the quiet trust of a moment shared for the first time. Maybe one holds their breath for it. Maybe it's just so thoughtless, a moment of relief or a need for comfort, that it doesn't even cross their mind. Just the ability to finally let the people who love you into your life again.

...I should really sleep.

Hate the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies slander. Yeah you don't get a free special item or a big friendship boost with any of the villagers but have you considered that it's really pretty??

#moonys ramble tag #stardew valley #it's genuinely my favorite festival #it's just chill #no stakes. no preparation. #just sit there listen to some soft music and see the shiny jellies #also the new cutscene update is really nice actually #do wish i could stand next to a villager without marrying them first but like still

seeing ghosts everywhere you go?

are they all in your head or are they here causing that chill in your bones?

#my art #Ace Attorney #Miles Edgeworth #Phoenix Wright #Gregory Edgeworth #Manfred von Karma #i think the concept of him seeing Actual Ghosts is delightful and should be expanded upon because YES. GET HAUNTED BITCH (affectionate)— #however; Metaphorical ones. Things he didn’t expect to see after Gregory was gone #the boy you have raised being like his father in every way you did not expect and it blind siding you every time no matter how you prepare #and the man who finally takes you down from your pedestal of godhood having the same gumption and determination #as the only man who could go against you toe to toe in court and scarred you in more ways than one #Manfred von Karma sees ghosts; it’s just up to your interpretation whether or not they’re real or crafted from his own guilt #rea rambles in the tags #small side note; it is *so* incredibly fun to draw him clutching his shoulder I’m sorry if you notice it a lot from me. ok thats it thank u #rea’s trash

I fear that we as a fandom have collectively become too used to the queer not being bait anymore.

we've been properly fed for once, and marvel has taken it upon them to remind us what it feels like to starve.
