#2020 is just like this huh

[front-facing-pokemon]

#genesect #oh shit this is the last pokémon in generation 5 #huh. that's. kinda fucked up #i don't feel like we've been in gen 5 that long. but now we're already moving on to gen 6. my favorite generation #ugh this is also where it gets a little harder from me. bc we've moved on past pokédex 3d pro. BUT the next pokémon is one of my faves #so you all have to enjoy it #genesect is also really fucking cool. my first ever playthrough of bw i used a genesect bc i used the mystery gift DNS thing to get it #back in like 2020 and it came at level 15 or smth. so i just used it throughout the game. it basically replaced my starter

Y'all ever get obsessed with a fandom despite never interacting with the original thing and basing your understanding of it purely off of what the common consensus among the fandom is?

And then, years later, your brain decides to briefly get obsessed with it again, but instead of going and watching the original content, you just base everything off of your now even more vague understanding of canon? And then, eventually, you end up just creating your own thing that's slightly based on the original concept?

Yeah, that's me with Sanders Sides right now

Anyways, here's some doodles

#I want to be even more clear #I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING CANON ABOUT THIS #All I know is that incorrect quotes are funny #the fandom was cool back in 2020 when I was still in it #and Thomas Sanders is an awesome guy #that being said I love these two #and for some reason my brain has decided they are ex-boyfriends #something about anxiety and deceit is just so perfect cause like what is anxiety if not you deceiving yourself? #also I have gathered from interacting with the fandom that Janus has snake themes (duh) and that Virgil has spider themes but #I'm not too sure on the Virgil bit #cause I don't even remember like where I found that out from #anyways heres the actual tags #sanders sides #virgil sanders #janus sanders #sanders sides art #art #my art #thomas sanders #I should probably go watch some of the videos huh #anxciet

#glass animals #honestly i wore out dreamland sm my brain took a lonnng break from expecting anything from them?? idk i’m just huh???? #like….. when i say wore out #i cannot describe how much i listened to it #i usually have some vague idea even if it’s a ridiculous number #like 52 times in a month for an album or something (has happened) #i cannot recall w this #gonna say bc 2020 & they were Literally the last band i saw live. next morning everyone found out about everything annd lockdown. no joke #so it was big dreamland time when it dropped and revisiting their past albums when i broke out of its spell lmao #(pretty sure before that like january was when i listened to déjà vu 100+ times in a row tho so oop. it was a tough day lol) #anyway seeing this aww man. i really have had this band with me for a long long time. 🥹 i remember hearing gooey on the radio one night #driving home from work late @ night in 2014. the drive was so short i couldn’t be arsed to fish out my ipod & plug it in #sometimes so just popped on a good station i had preset. started the car and heard this *voice* and i was like who???? #had to check the station bc it was an alt station and i thought i had it on another one which was fine i was just v confused #it was in the middle of the song & i was immediately anxious to know the name hoping i’d hear it & it wouldn't just flow into the next song #then the dj would pile the names together after x number of songs played bc i was tiired (but woulda stayed in the car ngl). got lucky & #ran inside to find it then yelled at my roommate the next day that she HAD to listen to it during a smoke session after work #(i was right & it blew her miiind) #god. what a fucking time. what a fucking band. idk what the disc horse is surrounding them now since they blew up via tiktok #i’m sure people are v quick to say they’re overrated bc of that but idk & i’m glad i don’t know. they’ll always be this #highly inventive incredible band i stumbled upon for the perfect night drive home after a long long shift #a band that came back from a Horrible accident that should have ended 1 of their lives & somehow didn’t & should have ended them #as a band (like still cannot believe Joe was drumming in 2020 & i saw it with my own eyes like how tf???!?) #a band deserving of all of its successes. glass animals forever

i've been going through my twitter and working on cleaning out old irrelevant rants (like all the times i complained about my art or went on and on about how sick i was of ace discourse) and personal life details that no one really needs to know (dealing with the leech and fighting with siblings) and just

it really is so so clear that i have adhd and have difficulty regulating my emotions skdfhgls

#i am scrolling so so much and yelling 'SLOW DOWN!!! SLOW DOWN!!!! STOP POSTING!!!!!!!!!!' #literally every little thought and whim went onto that account and now everything pre-2020 is just an endless stream of meaningless thought #it's legitimately like chewing on styrofoam #more importantly you can Very Clearly See the ongoing issues with burn out and being ruled by a novelty-driven brain #by which i mean there is so much 'YEAYEAYEA YIPPEE' followed by #'my soul is dying. i feel my spine turn to sand and bitter cotton. there is no more joy and i am a hostage of my own making.' #and 'i want to work on these things. i want to work on those things. i do not want to work on this thing.' #followed at least 25% of the time with #'I SHIFTED THE COVER UP A KEY AND NOW IT'S BALLER YEAYEYAYEYAYEYA' #my brain really does function on novelty and impulse huh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #hell on earth frankly w

Requestober ask- I love that we got to see last year what costumes you imagined for Edgar and Scri as kids. What do you think they'd be for Halloween as adults? I kind of imagine Scriabin as some kind of vampire or illusionist magician, or something similarly dramatic/elegant/mysterious~ For Edgar, though, I'm not sure. Sheet ghost? Lol. I can only think of lady!Edgar costumes, like her being a princess or smth. I feel like it wouldn't be anything too over the top, either way. Thoughts?

Day 8 - Buggy

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #Scriabin #You asked my opinion - that was your first mistake #Lol #This has been - and I can't stress this enough - running as a background program in my head for Two Years #Like I checked! I wrote this down in August of 2020! Maybe even a bit earlier! This has been bumping around back there for that long! #I just never had the energy/excuse to draw it and now I finally have haha ♪ Thanks for saying the secret phrase to work on my backlog #Also can you believe it was actually two Requestobers ago that I drew them as kids in costume? The heck is time right? #I do still remember my thought process behind it tho lol #Edgar's a moth - mostly because of Honey I'm Home that's the reason I drew him as a moth previously #He does make for a very cute little bug #Just can't stop drawing him as flying insects huh #And Scriabin is a bug zapper lol #The idea I was chasing was ''dumb couples costumes'' because y'know - bugs are So Attracted to bug zappers #To the point where they fly into them and get seriously hurt - very thematically relevant to their relationship lol #But it's such a silly costume at the same time lol it's so unsexy haha #I do love your prompt of ''Scriabin would be in something really attractive and suave and pretty and-'' ''No. Bug Zapper.'' lol #He's a dork! ♥ I love him #They've sewn patches onto his clothes as makeshift loop-secures to thread glow sticks through lol #And Edgar's is probably just some fluffy fabric cut into basic wing shapes and fitted with a tie clasp #Homemade dumb couples costume <3 #Now Ladyverse costumes - that's a road I still haven't tread and it is quite interesting hmmmm

actually what the fuck IS going on with the lemon demon bandom like what

I normally just talk about this in private but I've noticed that as opposed to every popular indie band/musician fandom, lemon demon specifically is really really empty and only has people pass through to talk about the top ten most popular songs (via Spotify algorithm) and then leave. It's not like there isn't things to talk about, Neil has a massive discography and several other projects to his name, so I'm just kind of like. Huh.

Like you know it's bad when not even AO3 has a wide selection of fics—and I don't even read fanfiction.

no shame to only passing through or listening to what's popular, you do you, I just thought this was kinda weird.

#I would just say the fandom is in a low period from 2020 but I'm not actually sure that's the case #there's just zero community and it kinda sucks for someone like me who's really passionate atm #Maybe things are just more active elsewhere and Tumblr specifically is really bad but I'm still like. Huh. #Tbh I didn't even really want to talk about this but since it's almost been a year I might as well say Something #mos text post #lemon demon #neil cicierega

two different rabbis directly to me + multiple places online: jewish imposter syndrome is real and is (to varying degrees) almost a universal experience in one way or another

me, who has been actively practicing for over nine months and taken multiple classes while also being halachically jewish by birth: i am the exception and am an imposter in jewish spaces and should feel bad about it. no i will not elaborate on why i believe this is true of me and no one else.

#to be clear NONE of this shame is being messaged to me by my shul #i’m just so insecure since i was raised religiously christian and only officially stopped attending church in 2020 #*february 2020 #even though i’d been drawn to judaism and deeply uncomfortable with christianity for years before that #and also had a degree of jewish identity through my family and celebrating holidays secularly growing up #i stayed as long as i did because 1) the liturgy was familiar #and 2) i’d be guaranteed to see my best friend once a week #converts have to go through a gauntlet. i feel like i’ve…cheated. #part of me wonders if i should pursue an affirmation #whether it would help i mean #but if i did my jewish grandfather would rise from the grave and say ‘YOU DON’T NEED IT BECAUSE YOU’RE PERFECTLY JEWISH AS YOU ARE’ #on the other hand he was also an atheist and probably would have mixed feelings on me practicing at all #although i’m not the only grandkid who’s done so #two of my cousins (their mom is my mom’s sister) were raised catholic but switched to judaism at least 10 years ago #to my knowledge neither of them went through an affirmation process #ughhhhh #my posts #jumblr #i guess i did elaborate why in the tags huh

actually coolest thing about ebony is that not only are his eyelights solid white but they are also extremely teeny tiny which means if i dont color them & just leave them bone color i dont think a single person would actually notice

#trousled rambles #its such a small thing but yall have no idea how much work this saves me actually #do u have any idea how much extra steps it takes to color in eyelights in character portraits when they constantly move around #i have to color the entire eye socket shape just to not have 25 eye layers #and then also have different versions for half-lidded expressions of varying degrees #and thank god i can color in the eye sockets in the lineart itself because if they have real eyes its a fucking nightmare #but with this one i can just . erase a little dot. and then im done. what bliss #now that i think about it i dont think ive ever actually talked about all the little annoying stuff that goes into making talk sprites huh #um. it takes a lot of layer tricks #the most recent one for russ from like 2020 has 96 layers for about 9 poses if that puts anything into perspective lol #i dont even think i used all of em 😔

Oh god I just realized Time to Dance might be inspired by Invisible Monsters? 

#im reading invisible monsters rn and despite not listening to patd at all since like... 2020 or whatever #i have time to dance stuck in my head #and just realized... bc every time the book mentioned aubergine dreams i've been like 'huh like the song' #and i didn't think much of it #but this morning i had it stuck in my head and i realized that the chorus is like 'give me [x thing] give me [x thing]' like the book #and also the opening scene of the book actually when i was reading it i was like #'oh shotgun wedding that's a term i've only seen used before in that p!atd song' #WILD #it all makes sense now #this feels so weird #time to dance #panic! at the disco #p!atd #invisible monsters #chuck palahniuk #dante dicit

It's an intimate, personal song, and I just recorded it on my own. Everything about the song is lonely—not in the negative sense, I just mean it's me, alone, intimate, personal, so it just made sense to present it that way.

—Matt Bellamy on why Tomorrow's World wasn't released as a Muse song | Zane Lowe interview for Apple Music, 2020

#muse band #matt bellamy #muse #muse interviews #Tomorrow's World #Muse quotes #Zane was like you're an integral part of Muse; your POV is going to be the Muse POV. Why not a Muse song then? #and he was like uh just recorded it n chucked it out #and then talked about how much he'd like to get the band back together in a room to play together #seeing how the gigs are going right now no fuckin doubt huh #2020 #Zane Lowe

listen. im not going to name names BUT. someone here was sick recently... and I wrote a sickfic for them... and now i, the author---

OH PHEW the esim plan I bought like a month ago finally got activated!! I thought I fucked up the instructions somehow...

#just thinking thoughts... #I told vege guy I was worried I messed up and he was like 'You? With your perfectionism? I don't think so' #which I really needed to hear. and he was right!!! #I'm so good at following instructions. so so good. #umm they used 1.1 GB out of 3 GB in like 2 or 3 days... the sim is only good for 28 more days... I should buy more data huh... #huh. I dind't think this far. I bought it cause I had the extra monies from print sales. #hmm the average person in 2020 used 4.5 GB of data... but that means like nothing. #the average person's wifi infrastucture isn't bombed to pieces in 2020. #hmm... okay I think I will keep checking the data usage and when it passes 1.5 GB used I'll add 5 GB more #the thing is that buying more GBs at one time is cheaper... #umm... I'm not really confident that this phone/person will last through 10 more GB (<- pessimist) #so I'm not adding 10 GB... but I think adding 5 GB is a comfortable place to be. #I feel like youcould like. I don't know. videochat family with that. #I suspect the usage is going to slow down a lot from here because I imagine they'd use it a lot at first #especially if they'd been waiting for one #but then they'd start rationing it really carefully... which might look the same as not using it. maybe? #huh... so should I just top it off right away?? #hmm... #I will leave that decision til tomorrow

sorry for imagine dragons posting but my birthday is next month and it’s making me weirdly emotional about this line in trouble

#rhyn rambles #i mean..probably for sort of the same reason ‘it’s time’ still gets me #like that song came out when i was seven and here i am twelve years later #like i would listen to that song and think about being my current age #and then when i was 16 listening to smoke and mirrors #this song came up and i would think about being 19 #and how much things would change by then #(please see 2020/2021. not a good time) #now i’m almost done being 19 and it’s like huh. time to move on i guess #that being said i’m pretty excited to say i’m 20 instead of 19 #not excited about anything else really. i just get to say a new cooler number
