#and like rly WHAT A BLESSING

[prozac-shaped-urn]

*Me at the start of therapy thinking it’s gonna be a chill convo*: I have new artwork! It’s from an artist who does fanart for my favorite show. *turns my laptop to show this*

Therapist: Oh cool! The blond looks like Jean Smart.

Me: That’s because she is Jean Smart 😂

Therapist: Who’s the young lady making sweet love to her??

Me: Her name is Hannah Einbinder. She’s—

Therapist: OH FROM HACKS!!!!

Me: Yeah!!

Therapist: I love that show! It’s so beautifully done and funny as fuck.

Me: I’m the Walmart Deborah Vance so it definitely speaks to me.

Therapist: So what did you think of the last episode of Hacks?

Me: Full on tears. Supertramp is forever ruined. Like I heard Goodbye Stranger while in line at Wendy’s and started crying.

Therapist: *worried in a fangirl way only another fangirl would recognize* They are coming back right??

Me: *internally goes found-in-the-woods-with-a-stick-in-my-mouth-and-covered-in-kudzu feral* Uhm… Y-yes. The WGA is on strike right now but yeah they’ll be back.

Guys………. YALL

I struck pay-dirt with this woman.

ETA: I feel like I need to explicitly state the reference to Jean Smart is her AS DEBORAH VANCE. My therapist just said the artwork looked like Jean Smart, and I confirmed she was and then explained Hannah’s connection and my therapist understood the artwork is them AS THE CHARACTERS. We’re not delusional. We live in reality. This isn’t a Robert Bardo/Rebecca Schaeffer situation. WE GOOD.

#what are the FUCKEN odds this would happen #it’s gotta be less than a thousand to one #or more #whatever #i can’t do math #ANYWAY #so basically I can refer to things in Hacks that really highlight my trauma as seen thru Deb’s pov #and like rly WHAT A BLESSING #I fully intend on speaking abt my shit in my own words bc that’s how I’m gonna grow #but this just makes it so much easier #cuz it’s like #that whole convo in 106 where Deb talks abt Frank blaming her for the dryer fire #and how he bad mouthed her to the press #and apply that to my NPD mother bad mouthing me to anyone who’ll listen #I can explain so much more by referencing a show we both love #maybe I should get her to read my fic 👀 #that’ll REALLY explain a lot fkdkkdjsjsjsj #irl post

something that’s always been funny to me is that long fics with smut tend to do better than long fics without but it’s like. if you write a longggg 10k+ word fic with a build up and plot and sprinkle in smut at the end, people will read that long build up and pay attention to the plot in order to get to the smut. and 99% of the time the tags and comments will talk about the plot itself and the way it was written as opposed to the sex and they will ask for more or for part 2’s and as annoying as the part 2 comments can be sometimes, it also means that they focused on the plot and not the smut. but if you post that fic without the smut—as in same fic and same build up and everything, but the smuts not there, a lot of those same people will simply not give the fic a chance. it’s just funny to me bc yes, a part of it is just horniness, but also i think it’s partly that there is also some conditioning to believe that a “perfect romance” or a “perfect story” of a romance is sealed with intimacy that’s more often than not sexual in order to actually be valid. and yeah. idk. it’s an interesting thing to see from a writers perspective

#me personally i write what i want im at a comfortable place in my writing that #i don’t rly feel i need to add that smut to get engagement #partially bc i think im blessed with readers who are very kind to me and always reiterate that they would read whatever i put out #i have so many anons that tell me they don’t know anything ab genshin but they read my works for the fandom anyway bc i wrote it and i feel #grateful that there will always be an audience i can count on to support my writing #but partially also bc i’m also happy w my writing that if i did post a fic that had not smut and it didn’t rly get attention i wouldn’t feel #disheartened by it bc writing it was meaningful to me #but #ig it’s just an interesting divide to see of like ‘i won’t read it without smut’ vs ‘i will read it with or without for the story !!’

Snake freak compilation....

Been drawing snakes all day. Specifically rattlers/adders/vipers, those are the ones that remind me of him the most and they're also my fave kinds of snakes :]

I honestly just wanted to get the snake shapes right for this bastard. I've got a lot of practicing to do and probably will tweak this a lil more as per usual as I get more comfortable with it but so far I enjoy it immensely. Its really fun to draw

#windyart #adriel #snadri #teeth #the death adder lip markings have me acting unwise #i dont rly have an explanation i just did some research on snakes recently and he just like. started manifesting like this in my brain #so now this is what he looks like god bless #im posting this at 2.30am my time yeehaw #the hollowridge disaster

p1

Take it, baby, it’s okay.

Eddie lets out a small whimper, his fingers tightening on Steve’s skin, and he presses his face into Steve’s neck.

Steve runs his fingers through his curls again, tugs at the roots and scratches at his scalp, closing his eyes and inhaling as Eddie’s hands slide across his scars. He plays with his hair for a while. Until the fire burns away, leaving glowing embers and the occasional soft snap.

“Have an idea,” Steve says softly, tilting his head so he’s murmuring right in Eddie’s ear, twisting the ends of his curls around his finger. “Can you wait here for a minute?”

Eddie sighs softly, nodding.

“I guess.”

Steve smiles, pressing a kiss to his temple before he gently detaches them and tugs the blanket tighter around Eddie. He kisses his forehead.

Upstairs, he flicks on lights to find his parents’ room, his eyes skimming past their untouched bed and furniture to their bathroom. They have the best bathtub, wide and deep and surrounded by pale pink tiles. Steve sits on the edge of it while he holds his hand under the running water. When it’s hot enough he plugs the bath and finds a towel.

“Hey,” he says softly when he gets back to the living room. Eddie’s eyes flutter open and he looks up as as Steve kneels in front of him, gazing up at him. “Come with me.”

“Okay.”

He stumbles slightly when he stands, clutching Steve’s hand, his other hand holding the blanket tightly as Steve leads him to the bathroom.

“I thought— I thought it would help you warm up.

Eddie drops the blanket wordlessly, squeezing his hand, and Steve exhales, smiling at him.

“You want help?”

Eddie nods. Steve smiles brighter, stepping in front of him and gently, tenderly, pulling the hem of his hoodie up, but it comes up with the sweaters, and they get tangled as Steve tries to pull them off. He can hear Eddie’s muffled giggling under the layers of fabric, and he laughs, carefully untangling him. When he appears, his nose is scrunched and his eyes are squeezed shut, his hair messy.

“There you are,” Steve says softly, tossing the clothes onto the counter. “Alright?”

“Cold.” He shivers. Steve rubs his arms before he reaches for the drawstring of his sweatpants. Eddie’s hands find Steve’s shoulders as he pushes them down with his boxers, as Eddie toes his socks off. Steve holds his hand to help him step into the water, and Eddie lets out a soft groan that Steve can feel under his skin. He kneels by the tub, running a hand through Eddie’s hair again.

“Feel good?”

“Christ. Yeah.” Eddie’s eyes are glassy.

“I’m gonna put your clothes in the dryer,” Steve says softly, his fingers gracing Eddie’s cheek. He has a scar there, rough and mangled from the teeth of demobats. “So it’s all nice and warm for you.”

“Come back,” Eddie whispers, tilting his head.

“Always.”

It takes him a moment in the laundry room to pull apart the sweaters and hoodie, the fabric stuck with static, but as soon as the dryer is running, he’s headed back to Eddie, who’s leaned against the back of the tub and slid down until his chin is in the water.

“Hey,” Steve says, kneeling by the tub and touching his face again. “How do you feel?”

“I’d feel better if you were in here with me,” Eddie says quietly.

Steve blinks, raising his eyebrows, his hand pausing on Eddie’s cheek.

“Are you sure?”

“Please, Steve,” Eddie breathes. “Need you closer.”

Steve pauses for a moment, his chest aching, before he says a soft Okay and stands, tugging his shirt off. Eddie’s eyes trail over his chest. Over the scars that cover his sides, his upper arms, his neck. Steve doesn’t even want to hide.

When he’s naked he steps into the bath, the water sloshing in the silent room, distorting their bodies. Eddie reaches out to him, his hand sliding over his arm.

“Come here.”

Steve moves closer.

Their legs wrap around each other again, and Steve closes his eyes, sighing.

“I missed you so much,” Steve breathes.

“Yeah?” Eddie says quietly. Steve can hear his smile. “You cry for me, Harrington?”

“Only every night.”

Eddie is quiet, and Steve finally opens his eyes to find him staring. His eyes are shining like he might cry, his bottom lip caught between his teeth.

“I cried too.”

Steve nods, swallowing thickly.

“Can you touch me, please?” Eddie asks weakly, and Steve reaches out, sliding his hands over his arms, his shoulders, over his chest and waist and stomach and back. The water is warm, and Eddie’s eyes are closed, and he’s swaying with the way Steve’s hands are pushing him around gently, and he lets out a soft, broken noise that’s almost a moan.

“You feel so good,” Eddie says softly, his hands finding Steve’s legs under the water, sliding over his skin slowly.

“Yeah?” Steve breathes, sliding a hand to the front of Eddie’s neck, his palm to his throat. Eddie hums, whimpering, his expression shifting into an almost-frown, like he’s going to cry.

“Steve,” he chokes. “Say it again.”

Steve squeezes his throat gently, watching Eddie’s lips part as he gasps. He leans closer, until their noses are almost brushing.

“Baby,” he breathes. He smiles when Eddie’s lip trembles and his cheeks flush pink. “Is that what you want?” he whispers. Eddie’s breaths are echoing around the room with the quiet slosh of the water as Eddie’s hands slide up Steve’s sides, over his scars. “You wanna be my baby?”

Eddie nods, his lip trembling again.

“I want that too,” Steve whispers. “Want you to be mine.”

Eddie takes a soft gasping breath, and a tear escapes his eye as he nods again. Steve smiles, wiping it away, but he just makes his cheek more wet with the bath water.

“Yes,” Eddie says softly, crying. “Yes, please.”

Steve kisses him.

It’s a short kiss, hard and lingering, and Steve’s fingers tighten on his neck. Eddie gasps when they part, his eyes opening, glassy and tear-filled, and Steve smiles at him, nodding. Eddie stares for a moment, his lips spreading into a slow smile, and he lets out a tearful laugh.

“Holy shit.”

“Yeah,” Steve agrees, laughing softly. “Holy shit.”

tony: i May have been listening inside the suit,

doreen: haHAAA, i KNEW it

tony: well there's no shame in that! sometimes iron man has some downtime flying from coast to coast! and, you know what? listening to kids in their early 20s helps me keep my slang up-to-date. that's important when you're— [LOUDLY CLEARS THROAT] years old. and denying the. reality of your. aging body—

doreen: HAHA, OLD MAN STARK!! tuning into a college radio inside a flashy red hot-rod suit he sculpted to have metal abs! no early midlife crisis there at all, bud...!

tony: [pauses for a second]

[i23kazu]

idk ab yall, but i fully believe that everything happens for a reason :-) life is interesting indeed

#and whether that is to teach you a lesson #or to help you get revenge #or to punish you #or you bless you for deeds #idk! life is a pretty funky thing #but the most important thing ive learnt in my 18 years is that #maybe sometimes ; you ARE the problem. and thats okay #sometimes its not bc everyone hates you. maybe its because you truly did something wrong and you need to learn from your actions #and its important to evaluate as well ; dont just blame everything and everyone else for things that happened that gave you negative emotion #-emotions! #its okay to be the problem. no one faults you entirely. but you learn and grow like everyone else #but thats if you’re willing to learn and grow like everyone else :) #you will never truly grow if you stick with a victimising mindset #and you will never truly find what you’re seeking with a victimising mindset #wow i rly went on a tangent here sorry yall hehe im being reflective tonight #genuinely 18 years have passed and sometimes im like!! why am i still here!!!! but then i remember im here for a reason too #and i hope to find the reason one day

| Drops this and leaves

FUCK YOU-

//cough

An Age of Calamity AU where everything is the same but also not-

Sooga overthrows Kohga's title as leader and becomes a corrupted PoS then kills the King and is now trying to fight Zelda for Hyrule's throne

Kohga is now his timid slutty lil assistant who just wants his "old Soogy back"

.....

And may have been the reason why Sooga ended up like this...

Hint hint it's a soul binding, corrupted mask he accidentally made for him

.......

.......

.......

Also may need their counterparts from the official AoC timeline to correct their bs and to re-teach them the lesson of their love for each other

Anyways

#MASTER-K0HGA #Ary / Kohga Chronicles #Ary / Kohga OCs and Works #Kohga #Sooga #Cough cough Master Sooga who wants to be referred to as King Sooga soon as he gets that throne #Yiga Husbands #.... #But also not rly #Anyways #Zelda cut her hair short as it's some time after AoC ''TotK'' but she's practically a badass entity with #God like powers because she trained to reach a level of ascension to prove she can protect her family and friends #While also doing the nice deeds she did in TotK... Sooga trynna be the second coming of the Demon king #But in a different light is not helping her cause of rebuilding Hyrule whatsoever... He should stop.. #Kohga's fault he accidentally imbued dark magic in a spare mask he thought would bless Sooga and protect him #So he wouldn't almost die again like last time with the blights... But uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh...... Uh oh #Urbosa's tired. Revali is scoffing like a bitch. Daruk is still recovering from the trauma's of the marbled rock roast #And Mipha is just sick of malice.

good morning i am absolutely in love with him and in love with the little tufts of hair curling up oh-so-sweetly at the base of his skull <3

i am twirling the strands around my cute lil fingers and then tugging juuust enough to have him growling slightly—nothing more than a soft lil rumble vibrating behind his ribs—and his features faintly scrunching in a barely there wince, lips spreading into a smirk a mere moment later as he chastises me for being such a little brat <333

#i love him i love him i love him i love him i love him #he’s so fluffy!!!!! i am kissing him all over!!!!!!! #also beast is rly interesting #also also uM EXCUSE ME but beast!atsushi?????????? he is so sexy get the hell out of here #bYE #anyway the farming with kenji was rly cute #god bless kenji tbh he’s so sweet and i love how he kinda changes aku’s perspective a lil bit #the other thing i LOVE about beast is how it explores how different people can be depending on the turns their lives take and the choices #they make #aku still retains a lot of his innate qualities and so does atsu but !!!!!!!!!! it’s so interesting #anyway i’m only on page 71 rn so #what the fuck was up with dazai and his whole ‘remember when u ignored my orders that one time???’ #and atsushi having a total panic meltdown like my guy what did you DO to him!? #i love extremely sadistic dazai #on my knees for him #on my knees for chuuya being his extremely loyal but extremely rabid dog who hates even him #what an interesting dichotomy #chuuya in general is really interesting when it comes to like #his loyalty and his devotion #which may clash with his personal feelings but will never be overtaken by them #he has a really strong and stubborn resolve #anyway~ have an awesome day today my friends!!!!!! #i have so much work to do but i hope to be online here later tonight <3 #clari chatters #inky.bsd

#ok so reflection time #i’ll be honest i didn’t listen to fitf right away bc i had just gotten out of treatment and i was scared to listen to ANY new music that #might trigger any sad emotions and send me spiralling lmao but ! #this time last year i was just starting to settle into myself #i went on a great first date and to my first mosh pit (even tho it was an indie band?) #and even tho i don’t rly talk to the person i went on the date w anymore that night will always be so special to me #i went w my bestie too and it was just such a stark reminder of the beauty in life #and when i did finally listen to fitf #it honestly changed me #i was so overwhelmed w pride for louis #like he’s come so far and the music he’s making is not only amazing subjectively #but feels so authentic to him (as much as i can tell that from not knowing him personally anyway) #and like genuinely i never could have guessed how great this album would be if you’d asked me to guess what his solo music would be like #when 1d ended and just #so so grateful for this album and the people it’s brought me closer to #hearing most of it live was insane and amazing and i’ll never forget it ever ever ever #thank u louis for making music ur way and blessing us all w it #the community at large is obviously not perfect but there are some parts of it that just take my breath away #the sense of belonging i felt at his show #unparalleled #he has a way of making ppl feel safe enough to just be themselves #and i admire that so much #when i think about the kind of person i wanna be that’s the first quality that comes to mind #so so grateful rn #ty universe ily #rowyn rambles

I didn't rly wanna post this to my art blog since its just. a compilation of older art and comparisons (done pretty quickly on paint jasdhkfj) but! been thinking abt how far my ocs designs have come and wanted to see them all lined up.

ive been considering upgraded forms or ones that might fit tmm new better, even tho I really dont have plans to add any story/plot details from tmmn to the tm2 story since its based so heavily on the first anime TwT (unless something super different happens in tmmn s2 that is waaay different and I like more...? idk)

originally mira had two school friends, one who bears STRIKING resemblance to cara (with the blonde blunt haircut, but one side dyed..orange?) but she got scrapped and yue-bing added later to fill that role. several characters personalities (esp miras) have done a 180, too!! very funny how much changes ...I wonder how these characters will change in the future? :-)

#these are their 'main magical girl fits' kind...of... #not touching on the wardobes i made for them or like. um. the fact i dont think queen would wear the same dress twice ngl #anyway its insane i didnt design queen until 2016 at least not digitally #a lot of the og notebook doodles have been lost :( but...i actually think those mightve been the first drawings of HER at least #shes! one of the big main antagonists! what do u mean u didnt make her until 2 years after making the protags*! ???? #my art #sanchoyorambles #tmm #tm2 #tokyo miracle #i am not tagging all the ocs god bless tho #ohh design changes. the funniest one to me is aquas vest thing #i didnt rly like drawing it but SEVERAL of my friends were like NOO HER VEST!!! LMAO I DIDNT KNO PPL LIKED IT SO MUCH #i personally like her w/out it!! but!! there were mourners #also cara completely changing colors!! #she was always starfruit which is YELLOWISHGREEN WHY DID I DESIGN HER COSTUME SOO RED #i know why actually it was bsed on the colors of her ANIMAL not her fruit. dumb choice tho #bc ...if that was the case she shouldve been a redhead in mew form! #for cohesiveness!!! #ive learned a lot abt character design.

okay i. didnt expect you are so not invited to my bat mitzvah to actually make me cry real tears. ???? the adam sandler teen comedy movie??? was good???? and genuinely funny??? and made me so emotional?????

idk maybe im surprised bc the last time i watched an adam sandler movie was in like 2012 and i never rly liked any of them. and with this one Some of the humor and over-the-topness was a toned down version of the same type of not rly my thing... but i liked and felt for the characters and the overall tone was so. charming?

i feel like if i was a teen i'd've haaated this movie bc of how it portrays teens. like i assumed the 'ha ha look at the silly slang and behaviors of Kids These Days amiright' would start to annoy me v quickly at the start of the movie... and i do think there were a FEW moments of it being like that. but overall i was so surprised that it just felt very loving, more like lighthearted teasing. i'm sure it'll grate on actual teens anyways (and fair enough) but as an adult the more remarkable thing was rly the palpable empathy.

'look i dont understand all of this and think a lot of it is silly or even worrying and i will make fun of it a little bit, but i can see you're struggling and i care and feel for you regardless.' like. im not even a parent but that was the vibe of the whole movie and it was. genuinely rly touching. and i did not EXPECT THAT

#you are so not invited to my bat mitzvah #i just. did not expect this movie to be what it is or for this type of story to make me FEEL THINGS #it looks like a movie id roll my eyes at bc of the schmaltzy teen drama romcom-ish tropes but?? #it just felt earnest and that made it work for me #the no spoilers big thing at the end... #listen i dont normally cry during movies and when i do its like a singular tear. So When I Tell You I Was Sobbing #also sarah shermans character and entire wardrobe was a delight. bless. #N ALSO. im not jewish but currently trying to learn more abt it so idk how to put this but. i just rly liked? the jewishness of it all? :D #the setting just being like everyone here is jewish just roll w it but we do have one (1) model minority token christian kid was so funny #the fight between stacy and her dad sdkjfhfkjgdf #THATS WHY WE FOUGHT THE NAZIS?1 SO YOU COULD HAVE A MOJITO BAR?!! #pls i was on the floor #but also the only religion im personally familiar with is christianity and im so like. intrigued by how different the approach feels to me #idk why but i never feel particularly comfortable hearing christians talk about god and religious concepts #and to my surprise i dont have that at all hearing jewish ppl talk abt it? #like to bring it back to this movie. there was obv a LOT of talking abt that but instead of alienating me it feels more like #oh wow i can listen and engage with those topics without clenching my whole body for once? #and even discover that i LIKE a lot of the concepts and approaches #maybe its the absence of personal baggage? but also i just think its neat dot meme im INTERESTED i wanna know more #much to think about much to learn u__u anyway go watch it its on netflix
