#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #blood #Imagine coming off as homophobic to your crush so bad he weaponizes a strip tease against you. #LWJ is just having a storm of bad emotions. His tummy hurt real bad and he was just trying to be brave about it! #WWX is just trying to be a good bro and heal his friendcrush. It worked but not for the reasons he thinks it did. #LWJ's shyness is also hilarious here considering they have bathed together before. Literally nothing there he hasn't seen before. #Granted it was a few years back and before he was left to stew in his feelings. #LWJ is more focused on his pride than being responsible and reasonable (getting is wounds treated). #His arc really is about accepting that he can't be perfect. That there is importance in being honest and vulnerable. #The tragedy is that he realizes this way too late. #Pride is the worst sin because it destroys your ability to protect anything other than the smallest crown in the world. #When everyone is gone and you are left alone - was it worth it to feel safe and protected from showing your flaws? #Control over oneself is in conflict with connection to others. You cannot pick both. #Hanguang-jun appears to us as a 'perfect guy' but the truth is that he is the version of LWJ who is done with *needing* that validation. #And this time - He can properly reach out to those he wants to be close with.

horribly short summary of what im trying to accomplish here, but if you were to read a fic featuring character, a soldier honorably discharged and is officially off the battlefield and yet he can’t seem to shake off the war from clinging to his body, and he’s basically a bit of a mess and feels incapable of returning to ordinary life and there’s you, the sweetest thing in the whole world, and he keeps trying to tell you he’s no good and you’re there to help him with everything (and it kills him a bit, to see you wasting your time to help him, and it kills him because he feels like he shouldn’t be the type of person who needs help) and !! just slowburn and falling in love and just read the tags for the vibe ok, who would it be for

#i was originally thinking ghost from cod since hello there’s so much source material to work with #and the fic would suit him nicely but also idk if i have cod readers left on my blog #so any characters are fine like an aot character would also prob fit the bill for this #but ive just been thinking abt everyone who’s analyzing hozier’s snippet #with how he takes his coffee black and his whiskey neat and how this girl is too sweet FOR HIM #as in… not being deserving of something so nice #and feeling that way but also showing how in the healing process - in the process of getting better - #we start to discover that we are allowed to enjoy and indulge in nice things. that we also deserve to live a life full of sweetness #and it’s a bit serious since it will touch on ptsd; on survivors guilt #and the fic is long - spanning from getting together to him having kids w u #& how even after all this time sometimes the war is still fresh as ever on his mind #and just !!! it’s a lot #also that Taylor line that’s like ‘is it really your anxiety that keeps you from giving me everything? #‘or do you just not want to’ + ‘you wouldn’t be the first renegade to need somebody’

Price : ... Nik?

Nik : No.

Price : Listen, if... if I don't...

Nik : Don't even. Evac is gonna be any minute now. You'll tell me later.

Price : ...ok. But you'll have to tell me what "zolawtsye" means.

Nik : *snorts*

Price : Oi, don't laugh at my accent, I'm literally dying.

Nik : You'll be fine, I'm here, I'll keep you alive.

(google told me it means 'golden one' or 'precious' btw)

#cod mw2 #captain john price #cod nikolai #nikprice #i've seen prikolai too someone tell me what i should tag pls i'll just tag both in the meantime #price is gonna be fine btw #his sergeants are gonna burst in any minute now worried out of their heads and he's gonna be rushed in a medbay #and then he's gonna have some 'vacation' while he heals #nik was trying his best to stay calm and smiling but he was really worrying because the blood didn't slow down #even as he put pressure on it and price was getting more and more delirious #nik sees price as his sun and himself as the moon because everyone orbits price and his own work is more in the shadows #he doesn't know that price thinks the exact opposite because nik brings him warmth and comfort and he feels he's darker inside #they're not together yet here but they're both secretely in love with each other

I wish that I had the energy and time to do the BB questions. It's been a long week. I miss creating. I miss interacting with people.

#it's so childish #but I feel isolated #both from my friends online #and in person #it's bringing back memories #of everyone else playing together #and no one was excluding me #and no one was mean #but I still felt that invisible wall #like a glass #and I'm the bug #gently taken away #because I don't belong #I'm nearly forty fucking years old #when do I get to stop feeling like a shunned baby? #it's harsh #but when do I get to kill the lonely little girl inside? #trying to heal her isn't working #melodramatic much? #I don't want to spend another forty years #feeling so lonely

Hi pook 😢 ( sorry if u don’t like the nickname) but I’ve been reading your series and I am reading Into the Fire (chapter 8) and I’m just wondering why you made Sokka give in so easily when people tell him to control himself that’s not Zuko. Because I would imagine that he would be more stubborn and more focused on what he wants instead of being caring. Even though he’s a caring and kind person I feel like being in prison would make him more selfish and less understanding of other people if than makes sense 😭

Like it just aggravates me when I see Katara try to idk really baby him and control him a bit (not mentally) it just kind of annoys me. Because even though Sokka loves his Sister I feel like he shouldn’t listen to her for real.

But that’s just me because that’s my opinion coming from someone behind has anger issues/ gets angry easily 🤷‍♀️

I love love love this series btw!!!!

I added your other ask too so I could respond to both! Hiiii hellooooo I don’t mind nicknames it’s actually nice because then I can keep anons apart haha

as for your comment about sokka I gotta say you’re probably the first person to tell me sokka isn’t angry enough haha. Which is fine because everyone’s allowed to have their own opinions, but my thoughts on LIAB angry sokka is his intelligence is often battling his emotions. I think sokka is smart enough to know he isn’t supposed to be lashing out at people the way he is or clinging to Zuko so tightly to where they both can’t breathe. i also think he is desperate to be back to his “old self” without actually wanting to be his old self. I do think he is fighting his path to healing every step of the way but even with all the time spent in prison he is still SOKKA. He cares for people he loves his family and he knows from watching his parents growing up what a healthy relationship looks like - his codependency to zuko is probably not it. I doubt it will change much, but when people tell him ‘you need to chill’ Sokka is very much like I FUCKING KNOW BUT I HAVE NO CHILL!!! NONE! ZERO CHILL.

but I can’t imagine sokka wanting to hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it. Or fighting his friends and family to isolate himself anymore than he already is. I have learned that writing a more emotionally triggering fic does stir up emotions in people and causes them to project onto the characters a bit which is fine but everyone processing trauma differently. & sokka is doing it his own way just like zuko is.

Also…. This is a fanfic and I don’t know if people wanna read sokka being a raging asshole for 50k… so some of the realism in healing gets lost to word count because unfortunately I can’t spend years and 1000k helping these boys overcome their trauma so some of it has to be rushed a little for word count / plot purposes haha.

Liiiiiiisten here pooki-anon you come yell at me anytime about liab I’ll be right here to soak up every word! Thanks for the ask I’m glad you’re enjoying the series!!

#I have tried to take my time with the healing arc #Because we spent SO MUCH TIME dismantling the boys #I wanted to give them the change to be somewhat put back together to where they can at least function #I do agree with you anon! #Sokka could be 10000x angrier he could close up and say fuck off to everyone but it’s just another hurdle to climb over #His anger has been a reoccurring theme because I do write liab sokka angry #He has a right to be angry too!! #But I don’t know if people wanna sit and read sokka going in circles with his anger anymore than he already has #I love love love a good healing arc and I’m trying to take my time with the boys but…. #*word count and plot point and me eventually wanting to work on a project that isn’t LIAB haha* #I do think sokkas a mess right now #But damn it I want him and zuko to snuggle and him and Katara to laugh and his dad and him to pal around and toph and Aang to give him shit #And momo to pull his ears and appa lick him and idk all the fun sokka stuff we miss #I can’t do that if sokka won’t be open to healing and being less angry #Which is why I’m allowing him to progress haha #Ugh now we gotta work on zuko!! -> #Zuko: “why I’m fine??” #Boy is NOT FINE but he is damn good at acting fine haha #Thanks for the ask anon #Ill #give you the tag #Pookianon #Liab #ITF #ask

okay okay okay okay. I KNEW that the fight between Luffy and Usopp was going to be different from the rest of the show so far and I knew I was going to have thoughts about it but oh my god I did not expect it to FEEL so different. Like up to this point they have faced some fucked up people and had some serious fights, but the Strawhats themselves haven't really felt serious. This alone feels like it legitimized Luffy's captaincy and proved how the crew will trust and follow his decision making. (which is why I really really love Zoro's part in it because even Luffy was having a hard time doing this and Zoro told him he couldn't waver because if he did who could they trust? and I have so many feelings about that) Anyway, this was really the first incident related only to the crew themselves that has felt actually serious and I really appreciated that.

#I also liked seeing all the other responses to the fight as well #Nami clearly doesn't understand and just wants them to apologize and get along again but she's still siding with Luffy because he is captain #Sanji understands more but he also clearly would prefer for them to just talk it out but I feel like he does think Usopp is in the wrong #in a way that Nami doesn't and he is still following Luffy #and then Chopper... I don't feel like he fully understands but I think his issue stems more from a crisis as a doctor #and feeling it is his role to heal everyone and suddenly he is unable to care for someone he loves #However I do think that in part his experience with almost being taken by the foxy pirates really cemented him as never ever leaving #the strawhats so even though it hurts him he isn't going to do anything that he feels betrays the crew and i feel like he found a good line #of respecting his beliefs as a doctor and also still following luffy #I think Zoro saw this as necessary and knew Luffy needed something that cemented him as captain and he knew there was no other way #for luffy and usopp to work out their disagreement. also he has only been following luffy this whole time and he feels the rest of the crew #needs the level of devotion he has to luffy so if usopp doesn't feel that and wants to leave? he says go. #if you aren't willing to follow no matter what you shouldn't be here. also i think he is mad at usopp for making the rest of the crew have #to go through all this and watch it happen. #i am very excited to see all the fallout from this and how this arc goes and how they get back together #i am also super super excited for the robin plotline #i know farrrrr more about the usopp plot in this arc than robins so i literally don't know what's going on with her right now #and i'm super excited to find out #one piece

Okay, so my Call of Cthulhu group (originally my CoS group) have shifted from our CoC game to a Ravenloft campaign, with much more episodic sessions that will be easier for me to prep and run weekly. We're setting it after the events of the CoS campaign, with Ezmerelda returning to van Richten's home in Mordent, using it as a base of operations as she recruits individuals from across the Domains of Dread for adventuring work.

Thanks to it being set within the same universe, NPCs from the pervious game will likely make an appearance, and I get to make some updated designs for them (:

The current list of NPCs carrying over includes:

Ezmerelda, gaunt and tired from a lack of human blood, with some new scars obtained during the CoS campaign but never included in the art I made. She technically made it to the end of the CoS campaign, but not without becoming a vampire and having her skull crushed in. She got better, sort of. Now, her and Erasmus get to hang out in Mordent while she stuggles to find ethically sourced blood.

Escher, who's living his best unlife after leaving Barovia and returning to adventuring, now with Gertruda at his side. I'm going to have to fight like hell to make sure I don't make him look like Astarion, because from what I know of BG3 so far, the two have similar character concepts now, and each look good in purple. Unlike Ez, he's going to be quite well fed, no longer limited to only Strahd for blood.

Gertruda, originally 30 in CoS, now in her 40s, with more life experience having traveled with Escher for a decade. The two get along like a house on fire, and make a (un)living thieving their way across the domains. Escher typically serves as the distraction and Gertruda does the actual pickpocketing or breaking and entering.

#dnd rambling #ravenloft #dnd #at the players' request i'm going to be including some dracula characters #and Dorian and Basil from the Picture of Dorian Gray are going to be part of a murder mystery together #everyone is going to have slightly different names #to keep the references subtle and to not take away from the main elements of the story #but it will hopefully be obvious if the players are looking for them #im mildly annoyed because I had started compiling reference images for Escher's design when he was essentially just Strahd's trophy husband #but now his outfit needs to actually be practical ): #half of what I've pulled together won't work anymore bc high heals fine gold chains and porcelain corsets #don't exactly make a great adventuring/thieving outfit #spider chatter #ehh so it goes #i'll probably have to draw him again anyway once I start my second CoS campaign

#i finished these last week but forgot to post them lol #self heal didnt turn out great #i was working on it at my great grandmas on Christmas after drinking a highly caffeinated latte and pinching a nerve in my back #which made me a little shaky #also those little henbit type flowers are hard to draw #but everyone who saw me drawing said it looked good so 🤷‍♂️ #also realized i accidentally left 2 plants thst were in the table of contents out of the pages #(when i first put the pages together i went through and labeled each page a drawing would go on with a plants scientific name) #and i had to get out my larger pad of this brand of water color paper and cut it in half to make 2 more signatures #and because the 2 that were missing were not at the very end and also werent on the same signature i had to shift some things around #thankfully all my page labels were in pencil #also im aware that signatures are generally more than one piece of paper but this papers so thick and the pages are so small #i felt i would lose page space if i made actual signatures #i just dont know what else to call them #if they were individual pages i would just call them that but its technically 4 pages (two pages front and back using one piece of paper) #so signatures it is #unfortunately did not achieve my goal of finishing the drawings by new year lol. got distracted by video games #only 12 more left! (14 left to post but i have 2 from the next group of 10 done) #then i can start painting #then the tedious part of gathering all the information i want to include about each plant and copying it into the book by hand #and then i can FINALLY bind it

Film!AU dsmp but the dsmp events actually happened, it's just that as the centuries passed, more and more fiction began to become incorporated into the history books, so Wilbur and Dream got the idea to write a film portraying the events accurately

#I like to think that it's been 127 years since dsmp #age works differently in Minecraft #everyone's living their own lives #they've healed and moved on already #it's 127 years what else are you gonna do #Dream gets a little curious one day and decides he's gonna see what the world thinks about the dsmp #picks up a history book about it #the history book is wrong about literally everything #picks up another history book and it's extra-wrong about literally everything #he gets a little upset about it #calls Wilbur up (they keep in touch every August) and asks him if he's seen any of the history books #Wilbur goes into this whole rant about how every single book he's picked up about the dsmp writes him as the middle child #HE IS THE BIG BROTHER HE'S ALWAYS THE BIG BROTHER HE WANTS TO BE THE BIG BROTHER PHILZA SAID HE WAS THE BIG BROTHER PHILZA SAID SO #they sit down and toy around with the idea of writing their own history books #but Wil doesn't want to associate himself with history book authors #because those idiots wrote him as the middle child he isn't going to give them popularity #so they decide to make a film about it instead #the old gang gets together and they have fun making the film #they all contribute a little. some people can even recall what happened word for word #other times they have to improvise a little #fun stuff

heads up: this is a long rambly diary entry post, open tags at ur own risk

#literally counting down the days to visiting my bestest friend in the entire world #the second half of summer was atrocious for me but i am so excited for my weekend trip :') #like i am telling myself that this is the trip that will heal me #i think in september im going to use my Saturdays to be dedicated study days #studying for my permit test and for my big credentialing exam #and im hoping to get dinner w my college friend group #bc one of the dudes texted me like 'we have to get dinner w our friends soon' and im like oh thank god they still like me lol #my other college friend told me she'd literally drive back to my city so we could get brunch together 🥺 #i also want to see my high school friends soon #i just miss everyone so much... #my introverted and burnt out a$$ just isolated so bad for the past two months since work is my whole life now #but I don't want to let that define me #and once i start driving im going to volunteer w my city council again #bc i miss advocacy work and going down to center city #i just miss being who i was when i was productive and felt good about the work i was doing #like dont get me wrong i love what im doing at my current job #i know my work is important and has the potential to save lives #and also make healthcare a little cheaper and less repetitive for patients #but healthcare as a career was always a compromised interest between me and my parents as the eldest child #i think my real interests are in the equity of public education and food/housing insecurity and first- #*first-gen mentorship and the arts (i.e. graphic design and writing) #like im not an artsy person (my other siblings are) but i think my life has been drawn to creating #anyways i need to get out and see people again bc i will not allow myself to fall into this weird antisocial depression again #and i think it's good to start w someone who's been with me for my isolation periods for the past 7 years #and in a whole new city to get me out of this weird funk #WE'RE ALREADY PLANNING TO GET BOBA #HAHAHAHAHHAA #so so excited to be close to someone ive loved from afar for so long :') #ending post here bye :) #sandy rambling

La Trans Cena

A work entirely of Chicano trans mascs I participated in, inspired by The Last Supper. I’m holding the threads connecting everyone together, offering to our trans Jesús who is crowned with needles and t-bottles

Mi.Vida.Trans by Ocelotl Mora

FUNDRAISER TO CONTINUE THIS PROJECT

From Ocelotl Mora on his Instagram:

I got into debt for this project because it was what I needed to heal from all the trauma I endured from the medical assaults. I would love to print the stories bigger and nicer, reprint 5 images, do the audio recording of each person sharing their stories, and invest in making prints to sell. I am completely new to the arts world and don’t know how it all works. My beautiful mistakes throughout this show is part of my continuous healing of knowing that even someone like me can create, have their voice heard and take up space.
