Thinking about how maybe not only does Andrew get Abram comfortable in water/bathing situations again post-Evermore, but Abram trusts him so much he dozes off TT they're gonna get all pruney in there but I guess that's the price we pay

#why yes this is a cropped version #and why yes im finally requesting payment for the full (its on patreon) #altho its not super exciting. abram is mostly really good cover here #this is the important part!! #HES FINALLY SLEEPING PEACEFULLY #AND THATS WHAT MATTERS #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #royal au #andreil #for clarity: #the sketch/lines are traditional #and colored digitally 👌

breaking the law and outing myself on the internet because i'm showcasing my senior dance thesis on april 28 at 6:30 and 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time and i want You to see it

we don't have a livestream link yet but we will. in the meantime look at these cool posters and this cool blurb. ok now save the date SEE YOU SOON

#my stuff #my art #these posters went through 14 separate drafts. it was a harrowing and difficult experience #i am Fully Going through it which means 1) physical health is suffering 2) social life also but 3) the thing is going to be so fucking good #sarus is gonna be the best thing ive ever made when we finish it. i Know it #so i want you to see it because it's one of those ambitious stories where everything's bigger than life #and the world is old and young and scary and kind and people live fearlessly and with cowardice #BUT EVERYTHING WILL BE OK. IF YOU JUST KEEP WALKING. this is going to be one of those stories #so many dance blurbs and descriptions are like stupid technical like oh we explored the effect of weighing down our hands and feet #on our Center of Gravity and how it altered the rotational momentum of turns and jumps #or else they're stupid esoteric like oh the wind blew..... and the children wept and all over the world the oceans rose... (global warming) #so i was determined to make this blurb (which is going in the schoolwide email blast) accessible and provocative #and inviting #in a provocative way #im very Locked in rn. im Hyperfocused as fuck. i am not eating as well asi should be but IM TRYING #AND THATS WHAT MATTERS #im inviting all of u bc this is a piece that is going to try and say something and i want everyone ive ever loved to hear it #oghey bye

Baby Blue practice. Is it pretty? No. Is it animatically correct? Also no. Did I learn? Probably, idk what tho. This was still fun, I'm antsy to learn quickly and make much cooler looking stuff.

I see Hunter as a go-getter. So no matter how shy he is, I can't imagine him NOT trying to shoot his shot with Willow. He's just very cowardly about it and it just results in him enthusiastically marching up to her, then panicking and being like "nevermind bye" and running away. He does this like twice a day

hey i’m really sorry if this is dumb but do you ever feel bad about enjoying whump? if so, how do you deal with it? i’m having a hard time with liking it. i love reading it but it occasionally makes me feel like a terrible person

its not dumb! i have some disorders that make it hard for me to feel bad abt stuff just for moral reasons alone, but i do get the terrible feeling sometimes when im afraid others will think im a terrible person lol if that makes any sense- so yeah i get the shame around it. i was lucky enough to be the quirky fun guy anyway so having slightly stranger interests wasnt a big deal for me.

this got very long bc i always have many thoughts on this

let me just start this by saying u totally dont have to feel bad for liking it. at all. everybody tends to like some form of whump, even if they dont call it that. the middle aged christian woman reading her 100th romance novel packed with fucking angst is an avid enjoyer of emotional whump in my book. and the guy who jokes about whump enjoyers being crazy and then turns around and watches marvel movies with blood and beat up heroes in it, well-

humans are just fascinated with pain. physical, emotional, all of it. it's just how we are, i think. we love to explore pain in fantasy, through characters separate from us, while we sit in our room comfortably (controlled danger! like rollercoasters). it can be cathartic. it can be how we find and understand ourselves. it can be comforting to know hey, this character went through something like that, that means the author must have some experience with it. there's at least one other human who gets me.

enjoying/reading/writing whump can be a perfect outlet, like hitting a punching bag repeatedly. it can be how someone digests their own trauma. it can just be a kink thing. it doesn't have to have deep moral things attached to it, sometimes seeing fictional characters hurt just tickles the brain and that's that. it doesn't matter, because it's all fictional, it doesn't hurt anyone. unless your preferred media is like, literal hate speech and propaganda against real life people, (in which case it DOES hurt ppl), there's literally nothing wrong with looking at a character being beaten and going "hey, thats cool".

also i will never not say this but even the fucken bible is straight whump and no one will ever change my mind. i tried to be a good christian and what did i find? whump.

also, there's like... a huge portion of people who read whump for the comfort of it. yes the character goes through shit, yes it's horrible, but guess what, they come out on the other side unquestionably changed but still worthy of recovery. they find peace, they heal, they find friends and family, they're comforted and listened to. that's something a lot of people read whump for. there's a reason it's called hurt/comfort. and there's also a very good post about how so many of us read it because the whumpees' trauma is always acknowledged. maybe not in the story, but we as readers understand that they went through some shit, and thus their trauma is always validated in some way. that can be a comfort as well, in a world where so many people's issues get brushed under the rug and ignored and overlooked and straight up invalidated.

but even if you're not into the comfort aspect (which i wasnt for a long time!!!!! i was strictly here for the hurt!!!!!!) you're not some sort of monster for it. i'd say quite the contrary. i'd say if you regularly engage with media like this, where the character's emotions are laid out so bare, and explored so deeply, you're more in tune with your own emotions too. i couldve punched holes in walls like some people i know (i have anger issues), but instead i grabbed my laptop and wrote about a character being beaten to a pulp. no damage to person or property. done. others read it and enjoyed it, and i even got serotonin from likes and reblogs, which lifted my mood, so that was a whole net positive.

seriously look at the most popular media too. it's whump. always has been. a good friend of mine whos a little weirded out by some of the gore i write is OBSESSED with game of thrones for example. and he recommended it to me because hey i love bloody stuff dont i? and i loved the torture scenes and he loved to hate and be enraged and a little grossed out by them. we enjoyed the series together. neither of us was terrible for it.

all this to say, you're not the odd one out. even if your interests count as more "taboo", like some of mine, unless you go out there and punch someone in the face, youre good in my books. and again, even punching someone in the face can be morally neutral or positive between consenting adults so. HUMANS JUST ENJOY EXPLORING PAIN. THATS MY HOT TAKE FOR TODAY.

thank u for coming to my ted talk

#asks #i hope u find peace in regards to ur interest in whump #because the thing is. if u had a good friend who has been nothing but kind and helpful to everyone around #but then it came out that they enjoy reading gorey horror stories #would u actually say they were then a bad person? #give urself some grace. im sure ur a good person. like. consciously. putting in effort to be good #and thats what matters

Forced my friend to start watching hazbin with me here's his commentary after watching the pilot and first 2 episodes:

His immediate opinion of Charlie is just saying "Star" (as in star butterfly).

He likes Alastor cuz he's eldritch and spooky.

By the time we got to ep 2 he forgot Niftty's name and just started ominously whispering "neat??? neat????" Until I told him what her name was again.

He laughed really hard at the "harder daddy" "......son? joke and played the "I can suck ur dick" bit repeatedly cuz its funny as fuck.

He seemed excited when I told him that Al was ace.

He has been referring to everyone as they/them unless pronouns are explicitly stated due to him accidentally misgendering Raine from Owl House(#ally).

When "Stayed Gone" started he said "hmn radio is important" very sagely and seriously so I guess we know which side he's on.

When Val showed up I said "he's my favorite :D he is a rapist tho" and he dramatic hamstered me but when I explained that this hell what do we expect here and also Val is so tacky and trashy he comes back around to being cool and he understood.

He doesn't like Val or Vox because they're not Cute like Charlie and they're not awesome like Alastor is.

When Val grabbed his guns and was "which makes me sexier" he got super excited because he's a gun pervert and started talking about how nice Val's revolver is(I made a tiktok about it cuz it was hysterical in the moment that he slammed the momentum of the episode to do an autisim about guns).

During "Respectless" when Carmilla said that Velvette was uniformed and a wannabe he nodded his head sagely and agreed that she is.

I told him Keith David was in the series and was really hype about that but he currently thinks Husk is the most boring(that'll probably change in a few episodes lol)

Bonus Helluva Boss: he ships Stolas and Blitzo and his fav girl is Millie

Will continue as we get through the show. I'm excited as fuck for him to see Dad Beat Dad lol

Shit I've said/done as Batfam this month pt. 4

Bruce - am i the rebellious child friend or the mom friend? stop laughing at me guys this is serious.

Alfred - no dude, i dont know how to spell "sociopathic" off the top of my head, i only act like i know everything. dont tell anyone that tho i like them thinking i know everything.

Dick - WHY SHOULD I BE GRATEFUL! THERE IS A SINGULAR OREO IN HERE!

Jason - dont make me be responsible for you two, i like being the problem child. let me keep my streak of fucking shit up.

Tim - on one hand i live by the "ill sleep when im dead" thing but also... im tired man. i wanna sleep.

Damian - at this point its funny when people try to make fun of me for being short because theyll be like "oh youre fuckin tiny bro" and i can be like "wow your right i hadnt noticed. thanks for bringing this to my attention" they all think theyre the first to notice but they arent. theyre boring and have no originality when they die history will forget them and their names will be lost to time and no one will care
