sooooo... *twirls her hair* how many asks should i send until kuwagami art. jk as well. the real question will be: does it happen often that someone else’s art inspires you? in fandom spaces specifically

well you see it’s like a loyalty card program, every 10 asks or so you get a complimentary kuwagami

just kidding you can just breathe in my direction and I’ll be tempted to draw them. kuwagami blast! (you've caught me on a... just okay art day lol)

(people still like kabedons, right?)

anyway for my actual answer: in terms of direct inspiration, it doesn't really happen much? the last two times i did art directly based on someone else's work is probably this one from this fic, and also that time i drew art of someone else's judgment au. oh! and there's that moriohpsycho art based on this comic! (filthyguts' work is so very. hgngngghh. very good.) nothing else really comes to mind, and when i think of the other things i've been into recently there hasn't been as much opportunity for that to happen...

flex and herds = strong fixation but lmao. almost nobody else made stuff about them. nobody is surprised umineko = surprisingly i don't read much umineko fanfiction? and in terms of illustration, i certainly picked up imagery and indirect inspiration but nothing concrete enough for me to give an example... now that i think about it, i did once draw andromalius from redaction/sunny, but that was years ago, and also mostly because i was acquainted with the writer. ...i don't have that artwork on hand right now death note = didn't really get involved with the fandom + i enjoyed my own ideas well enough! ...i can't recall if i drew long-hair-L art before or after seeing other artists do it. and as for everything else the same kind of reasoning applies. didn't really get involved with the fandom or wasn't really compelled to make art in response to stuff i saw, or i just don't remember anymore.

buuuuuuut if we're opening this up to just... pulling ideas from other people? then yeah, all the time, though that kind of goes without saying when you have a creative hobby. ...it's probably going to be hard to come up with examples of this since it's more ambiguous.

there's uhhhhhh... kuwana listens to nickelback which was a @/four-white-trees invention, wasn't it? (EDIT: and @/overdevelopedglasses!) (not tagging in this post so he doesn't feel obligated to read my big ass ask responses 💀) as of writing this, it's not posted but i did end up making kuwagami art based on a nickelback song so. yknow. there's that LMAO

for sawashiro and arakawa, i do sometimes go reference @/todayisafridaynight 's art to help me with my own. ("how did he draw this part of the suit? oh, like that huh? hmm" <- this kind of thing)

and um. i'm not trying to pander to you (at least not this time), but genuinely it's one of the few examples that come to mind at this moment. but when i was writing my first kuwagami fic, i could feel the influence of the ever-changing on my brain... was turning over some of your ideas there...

you remember this? (you even pointed it out in your comment on my fic, and i should've said something then, but whatever i'm saying it now)

that was absolutely because of this

(obligatory poke at anybody else reading this post that you can read passthroughtime's fic here.)

so, um. yeah. not really sure what else to add to that. pretty self evident i think. (i'm always talking about the ever-changing but i don't think i can overstate the impression it left on me at the time)

anyhow there aren't really any other examples off the top of my head! these are all recent examples so they're not so difficult to recall, but there are probably others i've forgotten...

#jitxt #started writing this unsure if i could give many examples and i ended up with more than i expected. nice!#sunny is a very good piece of umineko writing and i should reread it with the author's notes toggled on. and also read redaction #“shouldn't you have read redaction first” n-no. shut up! (besides i think renall said it was fine)#nobody remind me of that 20k note post that's just an uncredited screenshot of sunny. it'll piss me off #as cosmic balance i ought to shill sunny as much as possible #anyway uhhhhhh. the everchanging.#i am awful about receiving compliments (i never know how to respond aside from a rehearsed “thank you”) but i sure am great at giving them!#apologies if i'm laying it on too thick but #1. i am being truthful and #2. i figure it's reparations for all the time i spent as a lurker on the kuwagami ao3 tag #the explosion in my brain when i realised that “the nice person who leaves lots of tags on my kuwagami art”#and “the person who wrote that REALLY FUCKING GOOD FIC” were one and the same. crazy. and now we are mutuals ❤#it is a little funny thinking of when i'd read your and four-white-trees' work before meeting you #real life foreshadowing for me meeting you both....#i still have these discord messages of me telling a friend about both your works #basically: (reading an update to the everchanging) wow that was depressing (reading a joke in four-white-trees' fic) nevermind i'm good now #i ought to reread the everchanging and take detailed notes on all the parts i like #just so you know your impact on my brain lol #kuwana calling yagami a pretty boy and meaning it sincerely oh my GOD. rewired my brain

I ONCE KNEW A MAN WHO HAD FIRE IN HIS EYES // BLOODY RIGHT HAND, HE HAD TAKEN HIS ENEMIES' LIVES

loudly bitching about someone over the phone for 40 minutes straight at work while coworkers sideeye me. sorry. i have never shown this behavior before and itll be another two years before i do it again

#THERAPEUTIC. incredible things happening.#this person. me and this guy both love this person. but Oh my God.#he called to tell me abt something that kind of pissed him off last night and i started talking about a month and a half ago #why are we handholding this grown ass person thru fomo and massive control issues. well. it's not a dealbreaker but i might blow up one day #oscillating between 'yes i love them' and 'i've been pissed for a month and a half'#the horrors of having a interconnected friend group? it's really just two people i would really really hate to lose. others wouldn't be as #affected but those two. i love them. and AGAIN it's not a dealbreaker it's just kind of a buildup of behaviors. anyone remember my bitchy #post about the fomo/anxiety essay #also smaller things like Why are you trying to micromanage two disc servers that you dont have to lift a fucking finger in #um. my beloved irl if you see this. you didn't. i do love her to death. you know i do #the issue is if i put out all my issues they would take it really badly like they would act like it's the end of the fucking world #when i'm just like hey i am not your mother or your therapist and also stop trying to tell me what to fucking do #they would. um. lose it.#and some people are gonna get hit in the crossfire and i don't want to cause that. even tho it. wouldnt really be me.

Idk what to put down here. :3

(Brief context: Deerclops got him. lmao. anyways takes place in my au where Jack Carter and his wife end up in hell the constant. And also everyone is a creature bc humans hard to draw and I never learnt to draw or write them growing up. Also he'll be fineeee he has about 25 health left)

(...Extended context and headcannons below the cut <3)

HAI HAI I AM SO NORMAL <3 <3

anyways in game (I MIGHT BE A LITTLE WRONG ABOUT THIS...) Abigail (I THINK) will attack things even when calm if they are aggressive and Wendy is still close to the threat (or at least it feels that way when I play Wendy lol) and Abby won't stop or try to avoid attacks like a couple other mobs do (pigmen, merms, bunnymen, maybe some more.)

so the context is that the deerclops came to attack during the winter and of course, Abigail, full of violence, is attacking and ignoring the fact that it is about to attack her. She knows this, but still ignores it because she doesn't mind getting hit and possibly "dying" again since she knows she can be brought back easily (She doesn't really like dying because it upsets Wendy, but at least she'll have helped distract and take down the deerclops, which will benefit the survivors and thus Wendy) (Also she lacks a sense of self preservation)

Jack does not want either of his daughters to be harmed, even though Abigail is dead. So, after trying to tell Abigail a few times to back away from the deerclops and her not noticing (Too focused on violense) he decides to run forward and pull her/pick her up and move her out of the way of the Deerclops' attack (Ghosts are corporal at will and to biological things and their attacks) ...which results in him getting stabbed instead.

He doesn't really mind this outcome. Abigail is safe now, which is much more important to him than his own health and life (He also lacks a sense of self preservation) (I really like to headcannon Jack as having traits Abby is shown/implied to have, bc of how Wendy and Maxwell have quite a few things in common in the cannon)

Abigail, however, does not like the outcome of her father being stabbed. Wendy and her mother Kathrine also do not like this outcome. Maxwell is especially unhappy about the fact that his brother has been stabbed.

#Click for better quality #tw blood #cw blood #blood #tw impalement #ask if you want sm tagged :3 #Stayed up past midnight last night drawing this. didn't feel tired. power of drawing old man impalement #Also I drew this instead of studying for my end of class tests.#Waxwell get pissed. takes monster form. and starts gouging the deer's eye out after this btw.#smh I feel like there isn't quite enough blood TwT #Dst Abigail #ds abigail #Abigail Lillian Carter #dst Jack Carter #ds Jack Carter #terrified to post anything in tags

sometimes i wonder who could win in a fair fight, before. before the prison and before dream started burning the candle at both ends "experimenting" w vik and lazer, before sapnap secretly hasnt trained in weeks bc he cant bear to get himself to train when he knows full well that the next time he'll be in a fight he'll have his brother at the end of his sword.

when they were friends still, when they knew each other better than themselves. when they never really fought with heart in it, with real intent to hurt, pulling their swords back before someone could really get hurt. if back then, they'd fought fairly, a match purely skill, would dream have won, two years older and so much smarter, the one who taught sapnap to fight in the first place and still trains more, strokes sharp and vicious on the training dummy in a way sapnap cant really capture when he tries it secretly, alone when he knows dream wont see it. or would sapnap be better if they fought, purely, to the death to victory, with no inhibitions on the man boy at the end of his sword, without the careful way he'd pull back his blade to keep from hurting his best friend that came almost like instinct to him, no matter how hard he tries to pull it back to win for once when they had friendly spars. he's always been quicker than dream, stronger, even if he wasnt quite as adept, as perfectly honed, practiced in technique that sapnap really never had the patience for.

or would they be perfectly matched. would sapnaps strength, his natural quickness, exactly match dreams training, his strategy, every technique hes spent years perfecting to stay on top as sapnap grew, got stronger and better just behind him. would they stalemate, blades clashing late into the night. until one collapsed, unable to keep going, the victor heaving, exhausted, and alone.

#cdnap training together as kids is sooooo #little sibling older sibling dnap also makes me sick nuts insane ough theyre best friends but dreams also his big brother #looking up to him but at the same time resenting him when hes bossy #that tiny niggling need to be better at everything your little sibling. esp if theyre a little more naturally good at it than you #<- source op started swimming competitively bc her little brother made it to a big meet and didnt swim bc he was like 5 and scared of the #big pool and was so pissed he had the opportunity to do it and didnt take it ive been on the grind ever since #also the alternate ending to this post is that dream would play dirty to win the ''fair fight'' but i thiouhg this was sadder tbh

fiveverse: a decision is made in the tunnels

#the heart #tma #the magnus archives #timothy stoker #jonathan sims #jontim #fiveverse #i like over the shoulder angles and when tim is blocking off jons body with his. its personal to me #also i forgot jon has greys canonically!!! compensating here. imagine he had them in that other comic #anyways for serious i think tim would be 100% on board with jon's idea from the start #judging from how he blew himself up in the unknowing as a fuck you to stranger hed understand #and i think finding out the ritual wouldve failed whether or not theyd intervened and stopping it barely even hurt it... he'd be so pissed #in jon killing the fears hed see the end of any possibility anyone as unlucky as them would have to suffer like they did.#and killing the fears would be so cathartic #even though the way they'd have to do it is incredibly grim and awful.. in this verse im going to say their arcs really culminate in their #worst traits kind of propelling them forward into this decision it's like a negative character arc for sure #also though it's a tough decision. idk how i would've handled it personally #anyways though yeah. let the two guys with martyr complexes figure this out im sure theyll take the option thatll hurt them the least #melanie should've hit them with a steel chair #now neither of them could even leave the panopticon for her to put down #and kind of related but don't even get me started on the orpheus and eurydicing these two get up to.

so CBT never worked for us in therapy. basically every instance of it was therapists trying to get us to stop being anxious about very real problems that were very likely to happen. like, situations that were not only likely, but would be very dangerous if they did happen. sometimes even things that had already happened and were likely to happen again.

meanwhile we have an app on our phone that guides you through various CBT exercises and it turns out when we use that for the kind of shit where we already know our brain is being irrational and we just want to get our thoughts together and work through the issue by writing it out, it works really fucking well and oh look suddenly we've been doing CBT for an hour and processed the root cause of several key emotional issues we've been having for years.

funny how that works. it's almost like we can actually figure out for ourselves when something is irrational and when it's an actual real problem that could put us in danger and shouldn't be dismissed. who'd have fucking thought it

#personal #thoughts #Lucy post #therapy #this is fine to reblog if it resonates with you. if anyone starts being a shithead in the notes I'm blocking on sight though #do not pull a ''see! CBT can be helpful if it's done right! if it harmed you then your therapist was just doing it wrong'' in my comments #the therapists that harmed us were using the exact same techniques but just as a blanket solution for every single problem #and yeah you can argue that's ''doing it wrong'' and I couldn't really say you're wrong about that #but when someone's saying ''hey the way this technique is usually used has done a lot of harm to me''#it's kind of shitty to be like ''well that's not real CBT though. real CBT isn't harmful''#when it's the same techniques being used in the way they're very often used because the therapists are taught to use them that way #anyway this has been a random rant about CBT because I'm pissed that a tool that does help us when used for a very specific set of issues #has been used so badly in the past that we still end up being reluctant to use it for the things it actually helps with #because we still associate the fucking thinking traps and shit with being gaslit and told we were being irrational #for thinking very real very dangerous situations were in fact real and dangerous to us #having to admit that CBT helped with something feels like when you finally take the advice about going outside and hydrating more #and eating better and gratitude journaling and realise you do actually feel better and have to admit the advice does help #after years of feeling like you're being dismissed because people keep telling you to do those things when you talk about being depressed #like okay yeah it did actually work. when I chose to do it. when I felt ready to #when I wasn't being forced into it by people expecting it to fix every single issue I have despite it only helping in very specific ways #anyway I wonder how much quicker we'd have learn healthy coping mechanisms if people hadn't treated various shit like cure-alls #and had said ''hey this will help with this specific thing in this way which will make these other things more manageable'' instead

GIRL THE RACK'S THERE FOR A REASONNNN ofc i'm going to assume u don't want them anymore if they're hanging there that's #why it's called the DISCARD rack....also how am i to know those specific clothes are yours HONESTLYYYYYY STFU AND GET OFF ME #ALSO some dude was like (to his child but like. looking at me while he said it.) 'this guy needs a haircut doesn't he' bc my hair is kinda #long and apparently i passed today. LIKE 1st of all kind of a rude thing to say to a stranger innit 2nd of all setting a great example to #your child there just casually commenting on other ppl's looks like that👍 3rd of all jokes on you you wouldn't consider me a guy if #you Knew most likely. thanks for that little zing of glee much obliged <3 but also man just piss off will you. 4th of all my hair isn't eve #that long....like the ends of it are just shy of my shoulders wdym LONG if u knew the long-haired guys i know you'd faint.#anyway. great start of the day. i still have six more hours to go 🥴#ALSO no surprise this always happens but my legs already hurt SOOOOOOOO BADDDDDD :(((((((((((#r.txt

Every day I mourn the fact that none of my family and friends give a single shit abt oni lore, I don't wanna keep repeating shit I've already said before on here but every now and then I just remember the horrors™ and nearly explode not being able to scream abt it again

#rat rambles #oni posting #just everytime I think abt olivia's 1500 cycle onwards logs I want to start biting things #shes soooo fucked up and tragic and she doesnt get any closure and she never will and I LOVE it #I fucking love her so much she rewired my brain so hard shes like one of The blorbos of all time #damn you klei you rly know how to make characters that destroy me beyond repair (hi carter twins)#I still find it fun imagining olivia and jackie interacting with the dont starve cast even if they wouldn't like most of them #I have lightly changed my mind on one dynamic tho #I still think that jackie would be stressed out by all the kiddos and would at least dislike them. but.#I do think she could end up kind of getting along with walter #like look at me. she was probably just like him as a kid. she would hate him for it but they could also talk for hours.#hed start sharing fun facts abt his bug collection and jackie would start lecturing him abt ants or whatever and hed think shes so cool #I think olivia still wouldn't like him tho but that's purely because hed probably stress her out #same with the rest of the kiddos I think if you put webber in the room with the two of them theyd both have a breakdown #not because hes a spider solely because hes a little boy who probably just asked them if he can have icecream #and wendy and abby would just be a situation of them not knowing how to talk to kids let alone depressed kids #oh and theyd probably also be stressed out by wurt for basic they dont know how to deal with kids reasons #rly the two would just hang out with wickerbottom and no one else if they could help it #except wanda they'd bother her non stop to the point shed start avoiding them lol #you see Im sure plenty of the cast wouldnt like olivia and jackie either because of just how much they wouldn't take magic as an answer #not that theyd be like no that cant be real cause thatd be magic theyd more likely start sciencing out the mechanics of all the magic stuff #in practical terms while also refusing to call it magic #and worst of all knowing them theyd probably get results because fuck man they brute forced their way into time travel (sort of) so why not #so itd just be maxwell being soooo pissed as the two somehow manage to replicate his spells without the codex #dont let them meet wagstaff then itd rly be jover

not to keep being like "clearly some of y'all weren't around for the s4 finale of the magicians on syfy" but...

times like these? it's just so palpably obvious which of us HAVE had firsthand experience with what it's actually like witnessing a coordinated campaign consisting of intentional, active, premeditated, and malicious queerbaiting, complete betrayal of fan and audience expectations, and a dangerous, flagrant, thoroughly irresponsible handling of trauma/healing/mental illness storylines unfold before our eyes in real time like a slow motion car crash at the hands of a homophobic, ableist showrunner hellbent on overpowering the writers room in order to further their own agenda and ruin a good thing out of spite and spite alone.

and which of us, uh. haven't! 🤭

#is this post bitchy? yes. but do i stand by it? also yes lol #blogging for a niche audience of like 12 people. 911blr magiciansblr venn diagram overlap lemme hear y'all make some noise #i said what i said. like it or not (im not jazzed abt the end of the episode myself!) you gotta admit #this was a TEXTBOOK and CLASSIC 911 season finale. that was a season finale of 911 on Fox through and through.#until you've had the show you loved more than anything morph into a grotesque unrecognizable bloated corpse of the thing it used to be?#maybe. count your blessings and get some perspective before you start throwing around words like 'worst case scenario'#911 #911 on fox #911 on abc #buddie #yeah I'm tagging this post. this is a take im willing to go to the mat for. 'worst case scenario' my ASS lol!#y'all got no idea how lucky we are and that's that on that. anyway. sorry i saw takes on Twitter that pissed me off so im venting

I miss your fics. I hope you’re doing well tho

I appreciate this, thank you 🥹

For the record, I miss my fics too! This unofficial hiatus has been out of necessity rather than choice, and I can honestly say there hasn't been a day where I don't fantasize about A Grand Return. 💙
