Anthro Au Survivor drafts feat. too much worldbuilding because I cant just put pants on a slugcat like a normal person & my godawful handwriting

The Survivor (Their full, scavenger-given name includes the 'The') was separated from their family while traveling between colonies and stranded in the dangerous unpopulated wilds. Against all odds they managed to survive (and wander) far longer than they should have been able, but rather than reconnecting with their (or another) slugcat family, they instead made contact with one of the many wandering scavenger troops- But unfortunately not one that had ever met a slugcat nor had any idea what to make of a stranded one. Regardless the group gave it their best, ended up committing to the role of slugparents, and The Survivor and their troop still consider themselves close family long after Survivor finally reconnected with their sibling. (They're a bit of a mess though, understandably)

#rain world #rw anthro #subject to change and sorry if you actually try to make sense of this #but since arti is more anti-scav and survivor is a lil 'plain' i thought mixing scavengers in them would be a fun thing to explore #with the vanilla slugcats #unfortunately it means survivor was a very confused child who is a still confused adult #Also just cause of the way this is set up I think they have reconnected with Monk at this point #making this all so much harder on myself by not just going 'yea theyre in high school they ride bikes and drive cars' instead im being weir #and theyre turning more to rw if the creatures were sentient enough to do taxes #scribbles

Sketches and non-sketches are coming your way

#danny phantom #my art #sidney poindexter #maddie fenton #I tried redrawing this one title card line for line #but I gave up half way on the words #calligraphy vexes me so #so ya it’s a high definition title card #if anyone wants to re-add the words on there #pls do!! #I might get around to it but it’ll be awhile #a little bit of my oc’s sprinkled in the sketch dump for tax purposes #oc’s

the thought of icemav celebrating christmas together makes me a bit crazy. what do they give each other???

usually nothing . That’s kind of a big deal. in the 80s/90s they’d (reluctantly) celebrate Christmas with carole and bradley (who took that shit kinda seriously) so they wouldn’t really do anything by themselves. Maybe go out for a nice clandestine dinner just cause. After Carole dies and Bradley’s papers get pulled from the academy, ice’s low key newfound interest in celebrating christmas is one of his many many ways to try and normalize relations between him & maverick and try to improve their relationship in the conspicuous absence of the rest of their family. but yes he does make an effort—as does mav—to take advantage of holiday time to be with him as often as possible so, though their schedules don’t always line up, after 2006 they spend about 3/4 xmases together

Ice has very few hobbies besides a.) lovingly working on his cars & plane and b.) reading, so he is exceptionally easy to shop for (as most hobbyless men are): nice tie pins, cufflinks, those unnecessarily expensive hardcover books about weird random topics you find in airport bookstores, fountain pens, nautical /aeronautical themed paperweights, nice leather watchbands etc. highbrow rich guy stuff

Maverick has sooooo many stupid little hobbies that each last between 4-6 months so he is ridiculously hard to shop for— “i thought you were into woodworking so i got you some tools :)!” “uh no that was in April. im trying to learn how to make wallets now” :( so mostly if ice ever gets him anything it’s usually just an expensive dinner date in the city or cash in a blank card or a blank signed check for airplane parts for the next year. Buy whatever you want idc <3

any and all gifts are given with extremely little fanfare PLEASE don’t make it a big deal… hidden around the house with a little “merry xmas!” note attached, or shoved into each others suitcases pre-leaving-for-navy-reasons, or unceremoniously dropped into one’s lap while he’s watching tv, “here you go,” “oh, this is nice, thanks!” Et cetera. love language of gifts/acts of service, but, like, very quietly.

#baby’s just making shit up now #in the mid-2010s they realize the potential of the hangar to have a >10ft xmas tree so that becomes a tradition late on in their rlnship #holy shit the ceiling is so high we could get like a 14fter in here #uhhh no my back will give out if we try to carry it in #etc etc #every place ice goes internationally he starts buying Xmas ornaments #daydreaming of Christmas with maverick #can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait :)))) #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #asks #ice & mav both have undiagnosed adhd this is a hc ive had for a full fucking year now #ice can read a 400 pg book in one sitting & mav has to take breaks every five minutes when he does taxes #or something #you guys ask me for headcanons and it’s usually just ‘imagine what two really repressed guys would do’ lol #but thanks for the ask! #even after they get married it’s still the opposite of a big deal #it’s just a little smth nice :) tokens of friendship/affection either way

I miss old tumblr in the sense that i could complain about board exams and worrying about not getting enough to be eligible for my medical entrance test and i'd have summoned half the indian side of tumblr to sympathize

#im in sm stress #if i dont score above 75% im not eligible for my neet exam #which im planning to take a drop year for #and its gonne be both expensive and emotionally taxing #and i have to give THIS years neet exam too #for reasons #im not in the clear until may 20 #adulthood is a scam #And that is well BEFORE i even start preparing for neet #well before i even have to consider the possibility that i might not get in #im pretty much using this post to vent in tags #its like 4 am #and im stressed. scared. everything #its really difficult just existing w adhd and mental illness #much less studying #and neet is like highly competetive #the cutoff goes so high #i want to get out of this city #and be safe and actually be alive for once #a big part of me will shrivel up and die if i stay #and this is the first time i've actually wanted smth for real #tentatively and doubtfully #but wanting still #and idk if i'll make a good doctor or if i'll fuck up and have it all blow up in my fsce #overthinking basically #im worried im not. capable of doing this #anyways desi tumblrinas where are you😭😭😭😭

My scanner decided to essentially brick itself with some obscure firmware error that the manufacturers have shrugged about and washed their hands of. Cool!

I've ordered a new device (different manufacturer this time) but that was a financial hit I didn't really need in the lead up to my birthday.

Anyway, I have a lot of stuff scanned already for August so this shouldn't delay the things I had planned, I just wanted to complain :(

#personal #between this and the low-middle income tax offsets being removed #smacking all us peasants with high tax bills this year #and the fatigue i'm still enduring from covid #i just can't seem to win #but i refuse to let any of this beat me #i'm going to share nice art and smile #so suck on that universe

“you’re autistic but your so high functioning” no i’m not actually. im some things maybe but others no. i’m forced to over extend myself and have to pretend to be in order to be a cog in capitalism machine

#calling me high functioning is not the compliment alltistics seem to think it is btw #having to mask so much is extremely taxing and physically painful at times #being told i don’t seem autistic or im so high functioning that it’s like i’m not autistic is like #buddy u have no idea i am Not this person u think i am at all. im weird and annoying and struggle #but i still have to rp as a normal person just to make y’all comfortable. idk. im over it

I woke up at 3 AM, for no reason I can think of, other than the fact that my subconscious knew that Fang Vote Jinafire went up for pre-order at that time in my timezone.

#monster high #monster high fang vote #jinafire long #fang vote jinafire #i went back to bed but promptly pre ordered her when i woke up again at 6:30 #she was $102.58 after tax and shipping 😩 #the shipping price isn't that bad but its still unbelievable to me that its not free #thank god i put some money into my savings account #i was using it to save up for a laptop but i havent put anyhting into it for months so... #that probably wasnt gonna happen anyway lol #text post

and another thing about vocal synth fans: we will always find some adult male voicebank to turn into a funny little clown for our amusement. some guy to communally bully in our talkloids, the miserable straightman to the shenanigans, the sad little freak punchline to our jokes. it happened to kaito. it happened to gakupo. it happened genbu. it even happened a bit to kevin (although he seems to have looped around somehow). and it will happen to you too, frimomen. it will happen to you too.

#hell its already begun. or maybe he was born for this role. his origins being that of which they are #the other day i saw a favourite meal announcing dragon parody 'list of past girlfriends' with frimomen #and of course the joke was him going silent for the listing part <3 a classic but it still got me LOL #i dont know why we need to do this. i feel it too though. i see a grown ass man vocal synth and im like I NEED to make him swagless #child and teen vocal synths are mostly safe from our wrath (although we've definitely done a good bit of len bullying) #but the second i see a guy who pays his taxes i NEED to make fun of him <3 <3 <3 #a vocal synth tradition. its a tradition #i dunno i was kinda thinking about genbus characterization and how in the japanese fanbase he kind of varies from what ive seen #sometimes hes a nice and calm guy with a tsundere edge. sometimes hes a goofy loud straightman to shenanigans #but overwhelmingly in the english speaking world in talkloids we turn him into this high energy beloved little freak LOL #and i love all characterizations. my own personal version is kind of all combined LOL hes friendly but a little too hype #to me he seems chill at first but is like 0-100 in like seconds <3 like his voicebank <3 <3 <3 i think he feels every emotion so so much #and absolutely suited to the straightman to hijinks role with his grumpier edge when hes embarassed #i also sometimes like to give him a bit of an unearned ego sometimes because of voicebank deprecation #hes clunky but he was the first!!! he was the first!!! hes not owned!!!! he slowly turns into a corncob #thats another characterization that mostly comes from the english speaking side LOL #TO ME genbu is like if ll nico was trying to put on a nice calm guy exterior instead of a cutesy idol exterior #which might be why genbu's becoming my favourite LOL nico was always my fav..... #going back to our favourite little guys to bully i will say nowadays kaito isnt bullied as much. because we have gakupo to bully instead #the bullying can pass on. frimomen. it can be inherited frimomen. watch out frimomen

Sorry, but Phineas and Ferb going to college as adults is soooo fake. 1) What the fuck is college gonna teach them? 2) They're both WAY too restless to study for four years or more for ONE degree. They spent a single afternoon building to the MOON. FOUR YEARS might as well be an ETERNITY. Spending that in SCHOOL?? WASTE OF TIME.

#phineas and ferb #p&f fandom pls stop doing this in fanfics it's so untrue #they both clearly dropped out of high school and immediately got their GEDs anyway #not as impressive as baljeet who got his first degree in middle school— #but y'know phineas and ferb waited until freshman year because of the social opportunities #then they spend their twenties solving world hunger and ending war everywhere and not only saving endangered species but bringing a few BACK #phineas uses a teleporter to visit isabella at her college whenever he wants #and he and ferb have a multi-terrain mobile home they share that has twenty stories and two pools on the inside #I've read so many fics that go the same route 'Act Your Age' went #where real life + adulthood bog down on the boys #and that SUCKS #it's realistic sure. life gets harder when you grow up. but so what?? #this show has ALWAYS been about taking the universe in your hands and moulding it to whatever you want #no the boys won't go to college they won't separate or give up on their big ideas or pay taxes #it's THEIR world and everyone is better for having lived in it

Honestly, I made that joke about Van’s ancient desktop, but it probably works better than new computers. And it made me think: god, Van must HATE planned obsolescence. Stuff that’s built to die? Stuff that’s built to fall apart in a matter of years just to force you to buy more? For a person whose whole deal is gripping tight to the past, to old technology that still works perfectly fine, to the idea of survival threaded through everything from the stories she tells to the machines she rents out? Yeah, dude. No wonder she hates her cell phone. Not only does it force the illusion of connection without actually granting intimacy, but it’s doomed from the minute you take the thing out of the box. For Van, the very idea has got to be offensive.

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers #yj meta #van palmer #like you grow up in the 90s in a home that probably doesn’t have a high tax bracket situation #you’re gonna learn to value things for their longevity to begin with #but then you get stranded in the woods with maybe two suitcases you gotta make last for two years? #repurposing and recycling every little thing just to keep warm and alive? #yeah the whole of Van’s adult life is a nostalgia bubble for a host of reasons #but one is almost definitely that the 2021 reality of fast fashion and temporary tech must feel heinous. antithetical to survival. #better to buy old jeans that’ll last 50 years and wear boots passed down from your grandfather #and stock your shelves with machines you know how to fix and tapes you know how to wind back together if they get eaten #Van couldn’t escape the woods in her heart so she just built her entire aesthetic around leaning into the old like it was by choice #right down to living in the ‘attic’ above the place that sustains her existence #I cannot imagine her with a brand new MacBook she knows she’ll have to replace in three years #of course she’s got a desktop from the mid-90s

love when children try to do shit at me that is probably DEVASTATING among their peer group but i'm an adult so i'm just like. what. lmao

#these two teenage girliepop wegmans baggers were in the cafeteria when i jingled up and they both immediately pointed at me & #started kubrick glaring &AGGRESSIVELY tapping their acrylic nails on the table at high speed while continuing to dead-eyed glare at me #then when i didn't leave cuz like. girl what. i got lunch to eat. they rolled their eyes & scoffed & made a big show about taking their pink #drinks & leaving lmaoooooo #LIKE IM SURE THAT'S SOCIALLY RUINOUSSSSSS TO THE OTHER 15 Y.O.S AT YOUR SCHOOL but i'm an adult who pays taxes so like idk what any of your #deal is but you just look like freaks having this weird little kerfluffle in public lmao

saw a meme on a stolen meme acc on the youtube community tab and got inspired so

here’s some games i love but described as badly as possible. answers will be in the tags, so don’t hit see all if you’d like to guess for yourself :3

mute test subject runs around with a murderous ai trapped in a potato battery on their gun. they’re trying to stop a different murderous ai from killing them

purple rabbit eldritch horror might actually be the good guy? also there’s hands

main character gets severely distracted from their main quest because major events keep happening every time they enter a new country and they somehow end up involved every single time

cute vegetable goes on a totally normal adventure until he discovers the dark secret behind his species and town. refuses to pay his taxes

pokemon but make it actually a family curse unfiction type thing where the dev dumped all his trauma and family secrets into it. (<- yes this one got turned into an actual game u can play!)

everything is so overpriced but god the outfits are pretty

#fable talks 💫 #super long tag so i can have a divider and a read more :33 gonna just add a buncha sparkles ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ #portal 2 #bunny graveyard #genshin impact #turnip boy commits tax evasion #petscop #giftscop #royale high #how many did u recognize!! :D
