Hi @naffeclipse I'm very normal about your fic. Have some frantic midnight sketches as extra kudos along with some tag rambling :)

#my ârt #crush depth #crush depth spoilers #fnaf #tw blood #tw drowning #idk how many others apply #anyways this is midnight crow coming out of the shadow realm to scream at you #first of all a cs ramble is on the way I'm still recovering from that fic too #im biting you naff im biting you so dang hard #I don't even know much about iron lung besides watching a play through but damn do you make me want to know more #just. where do I even start. the atmosphere is established so well and even though there was such a small space to work with I FELT it #I felt the claustrophobia I felt the walls and the console and the single dim lightbulb as my only solace in this death trap #the THOUGHTS #poor yn had so much time to just get lost in their head and spiral pretty much constantly #the dread. the constant overhanging dread of knowing there's a 99% chance they're not getting out of there alive and at this point #they just want to accept it and let it end bc there's hardly anything to go back to if they live #naff. look at me. reading some parts made my chest actually tighten with dread. it was so well done. #this poor human just buried in existential horror and just wanting it to end in a slightly less painful way #and the unknowable beings trapped outside who absolutely REFUSE to let that happen #god those eldritch fish were trying their hardest but just couldn't get in #yn was trapped inside while they were trapped outside and I just #I am EXPLODING the more I think about it #thinking about when they thought they were drowning and tried to breathe again #wanting to die but still having that instinct to survive #asking to be ripped apart but still cherishing their last breath of air #I'm shaking you I'm shaking you I'm dying on the floor #ough. #I'll never mentally recover from this and I want you to know I genuinely get inspired by your writing #this has been midnight crow ramblings. I just hit the tag limit. have a lovely night.

my prediction for season 5 is just-

MK: I'm going through the worst time of my life right now, and you're putting on a puppet show????

Macaque: would you rather be going through the worst time of your life, without a puppet show?

MK:

MK: ....carry on

Macaque: yeah. that's what I thought. Ahem. The hero and the warrior-

#Monkie Kid #lego monkie kid #technically this could just apply to Shadow Play too #but i think it's funnier to imagine that Macaque just does it AGAIN

[thewitchqueenofharrenhal]

Okay but it actually breaks my heart that being named heir and remaining heir for Rhaenyra probably became this immense symbol in her life of the importance of her mother Aemma, the love of her father Viserys, the love between her parents, the idea that she mattered still despite losing her mother in her father’s endless pursuit of a male heir. Her father that than remarried and had an abundance of those male children Aemma didn’t. Had a new family, after she lost the only one she ever knew.

Remaining heir and becoming Queen must have meant everything to her. Did it matter if she had never wanted it begin with? What did it mean if she didn’t become Queen? then what was it all for…She was probably clutching onto her heirship so tight with bloody fingernails because of all it symbolized and still it was taken from her.

#mind you this probably applies to the green kids too #like viserys really ruined everything #I hate that man #he was an idiot #Rhaenyra was probably like this is all I have left of my family #of my mom #of proof that my father loves me #meanwhile the green kids are watching their own mother be tortured alive for nothing #living under the shadow of their perfect sister #it’s so sick #hotd #rhaenyra targaryen

in another universe netflix didn't cancel my favorite show and i'm still not mentally stable in that universe but damn if im not a little bit happier there

#i wrote this with julie and the phantoms in mind #but i think this applies to other shows too #namely: #shadow and bone #lockwood and co #netflix

If Pinestar was the Mi of his kits, why didn’t he try to take any of them with him when he left? Like Brightsky keeping some of her litter. He knew how the clans were, he was specifically leaving to get away from it, why did he choose to leave his children behind?

It wasn't a choice. Brightsky gave birth in the home she bolted to; Pinestar wasn't going to be allowed to take his children unless he snuck out with them.

He wishes he did something, when he sees what became of his son. But he tried to be brave when he left, announcing that he would not be coming back, and where he would be going.

He thought that was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, no one else appreciated it the way he hoped they would.

If he DID though, ThunderClan would not have allowed that. They see it as kidnapping. Being Mi doesn't mean you're allowed to do literally anything you want, especially if you do have a Ba involved.

In cases of handoffs (surrogacy, secret halfclan kits being given to their other parent, etc) it's actually SUPER important you do it before 1 moon, so you can pass the disappearance off as a fading kit. There are no funerals thrown for fading kits besides the Mi and any Ba quietly burying the body, so this is the time where you smuggle the baby out.

So you need all the Ba on board with such a handoff, in addition. Cloudtail is an example of that actually! When Brightheart surrogates, he is fully aware of how many are ACTUALLY faders and who is receiving their child.

Tigerkit was like 3-ish moons when Pinestar hit da bricks, unfortunately there wasn't a way he could take him along... plus it wouldn't quite make sense with how he was having nightmares about murdering his son.

#Tiger remembers his father #Not super well but. He does remember him. #I think it hurts him when he realizes he's doing something for his own kits that come from those warm early memories #Like the lullabies. Pinestar liked to sing for him. He remembers how good it felt to be cuddled into a warm chest #And feel how a song can bloom into a purr #ALSO I am still thinking about the Bright surrogates btw #I just hit a snag because I realized that a big problem in shadow and wind is-- #--the lack of parents to take such kits #Because my rules against incest apply completely equally to adopted kids too #So it wouldn't actually help if they were adopted vs biokits if the tree is still a tumbleweed #Does that make sense? #So the Bright surrogates aren't actually there to help me with the tree. It's that I want to do it for the character reasons #Because it really shows how approachable and connected Bright and Cloud are #And how respected and loved they are even outside their own Clan #But yeah if you've been waiting on that detail that's where Im currently at lmao #But theyre gonna come up in Wind and Shadow eventually #And im thinking about giving those cut thunderclan warriors as grandkids in other clans too #Clan culture #Pinestar’s Crusade

A summary of my feelings regarding star wars:

#sorry its just the whole long flowing black cape and standing in dark shadows/fog/smoke illuminated by only the sinister glow of their red #lightsabers thing does indeed go the fuck off #this post is specifically about darth vader of course but you could apply it to any of them i guess #darth vader #darth maul #asajj ventress #the inquisitor #what the heck is her name?? #i havent actually seen any of the new trilogy but i assume it happens there too #however i dont know the guys name and i do not care about it at all but please feel free to tag this however you want #except for s*d*ous he can go suck space milk #star wars #star wars original trilogy #star wars prequels #kenobi series #obi wan kenobi #oh shit i almost forgot #anakin skywalker #star wars the clone wars #rogue one

I find it funny how some people consider Shadow to be the mysterious one compared to Sonic when we know basically everything about Shadow's past and the only thing we know for certain about Sonic is where he was born.

#sonic #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #this applies to tails and amy too #where the hell did they come from? #this is for the games btw #not the comics or any other media

[sonknuxadow]

originally had a super long multi paragraph ramble about this written out but then realized i did not have to say all that . anyway . i think that the reason some little animal guy sonic characters have last names while most others just go by (name) the (species) has to do with cultural differences... the fact that the characters with last names are also the same characters who have more human sounding first names makes me think that they were born in an area that had a large human population, or that their parents or grandparents were, so their family was influenced by human naming practices

#that or their parents are two different animals and they have traits from both so they just go by a last name for simplicitys sake #that headcanon is kinda taken from archie sonic btw there are a few archie characters who have parents that are different animals #and iirc they all use last names rather than species names #though those characters tend to only inherent one parents species rather than looking like a combination of both #obviously these reasonings wouldnt apply to everyone there would still be exceptions . like shadow #who was created by humans and exclusively interacted with humans before the events of sa2 but still goes by shadow the hedgehog #though i feel like hes a special case because the robotnik last name would probably raise a lot of questions #or make people wanna start digging around in his private business. so maybe he just doenst use that name publicly #because he doesnt feel like dealing with all that. or maybe he chooses to not use it as a way of not living in the past all the time. idk #Hiii im the number one guy who thinks way too much about random sonic worldbuilding stuff that doesnt matter

y'all i cannot believe wwdits is a real show. SPECIFICALLY season 4. it is a gay sitcom (i use the term sitcom loosely) that is not explicitly about being gay, but queerness is woven into every piece of it. it's not just "oh this show is about queer people being queer" but it's "it's about vampires and the supernatural, but their queerness is also important to the narrative." it makes jokes about being gay, but being gay is never the butt of the joke. we get symbolism and metaphors AND we get characters explicitly saying they're gay. it's natural. it's actually funny and not just trying to make gay jokes or characters just to tick a diversity box. there is no character that only exists as "the gay character."

i am just so thankful to be living in a time where we have shows like this coming out. even ten, twenty years ago we would be hard pressed to find shows with such diverse and vibrant queer representation and narratives. and as a queer writer/creative i am so so grateful that this is the direction we're headed in.

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #this applies to ofmd too #and ofc indie creators have always been making content like this. but the fact that we're starting to see it on an even broader scale is so #and let me specify i'm not dissing like. queer teen dramas or other 'stereotypical gay shows' bc those are important #to the history of queer ppl in tv and movies #but i am just so glad that now we're getting so many shows that are like #vampire dramas and pirate comedies and fantasies and sci-fis and everything #that get to be unabashadly and unapologetically and authentically queer #without the only marketing point or writing being #this character is gay! oh no! #i hope that makes sense #and also need i say again that guillermo is FAT and GAY and LATINO while also being portrayed as THE badass heart throb ever #god...this show...

man who wants nothing to do with secret government conspiracies but is unfortunately getting involved in them nonetheless

#harrison graves #spent 999 hours dicking around with hatch texture layers -_- #''oh this will look cool'' (it ends up not looking cool) ''wtf. how do i make it cool'' (trial and error rinse and repeat. forever) #this wouldve been faster if i was physically cutting out screentones and applying it to paper irl. because then i wouldve given up faster. #hmm csp only tracked 1 or 2 hours but that cant be right. it was a fucking eternity #the little portrait in the middle looks fine but it doesnt work as well on the other two... #i wonder if it has to do with the texture density relative to the overall scale of the drawing... or maybe i need better shadow grouping... #or just more varied values in general. what if i tried giving him a dark tanktop in the sit drawing... #no no i cant open this file again today i need to move on with my life #i already spent too long last night drawing the worst chibis of all time. no more art im DONE (for now)

It says a lot about the current feeling of uncertainty and lack of safety for queer people at the moment (at least in the states) that so many queer stories hinge of the protagonists feeling the need to flee their familiar world to be together. And their partner having to choose between their home and an uncertain future Elsewhere with their beloved

#specifically thinking about how this applies to trans and gender noncomforming people living in unsafe states #and having to choose whether to move somewhere safer #i fully realize this isn't a novel idea #but I think at this point the trend shows that this is the very real fear for many queer people #like how horror movies reflect society's current anxieties #so too do the conflicts that keep a romance apart #ofmd #our flag means death #good omens #good omens season 2 #what we do in the shadows #cottagecore-raccoon #queer #lgbtq

also I had a breakthrough today that I had in fact overthought a Specific Problem to Death and that I had created a monster in my own mind and that’s why it felt like I was being eaten alive every time I tried to solve it.

#not to put too fine a point on it but that’s what happened with the whole is Maria going to become a nun question tbh #and I needed a counselor to say to me objectively and yet also crucially without any knowledge of me or my past: #you have overthought this and now you’re terrified of it #anyway it’s so obvious but it came home to me today. slowly. #like it was just like. Oh. You did it again #you’re terrified of this because you have thought of every possibility and every outcome and every twist and turn and shadow—- #until it has become a bloated demon in your mind that is totally separated from reality #while made up of real facts and details! and tbh I know it’s a common problem #but the anxiety chokehold I can put myself in is something that is so impressive and so disturbing #I can render myself absolutely helpless through the meanderings of my own thoughts #and what makes it worse—immeasurably worse—is that I get OUT of problems through careful thought and analysis #I’m programmed that way #so I can’t escape it by the usual means. I have to back away from the monster and see it and NAME it and then it can die away. #and only THEN can I apply my usual ways of going about things. I don’t know it just all clicked today #these past few days have just been bringing it all to a fever pitch for me #anyway I guess it’s also important to me that I still be allowed to be analytical about it!!! I have to use my brain!!!!!!! #in my desperation I have tried to shut it off to feel only with my heart. To try to catch the whisper of God’s voice in the wind #but tbh I am meant to use the gifts I have! But only in the right context #and that’s only after the demon has been killed or more accurately —deflated #my counselor has been so good about this tbh. she’s so matter of fact and blunt and salt of the earth and also she sees how my mind works #and wants me to be able to use it!! #so I’m just going to tell her that I did the bad thing with this other problem and can she help me find a way forward #ANYWAY THE MONSTERS TURNED OUT TO BE JUST TREES
