Happy valentines! what says ‘love’ like two smelly, unwashed teen boys?

Drew this after a lovely convo with @less-depresso-more-espresso, who also gave me this song to listen to 💕 so this one’s for you bestie aha

#tmnt 2012 #rasey #casey jones #raphael hamato #less-depresso-more-espresso #I love the farmhouse arc a lot actually #I think Casey went and got a few jobs on ‘local’ farms to help pay for food and bills #and April got a job helping in a shop or something she’s not very outdoorsy #and after Leo wakes up raph would start going outside #mikey looks after the animals and the farm there but we know ralh likes animals and flowers so I think he’d keep pretending to be too macho #his main jobs looking after Leo #but Casey could get him to goof off and sit in the sun and stuff #maybe raph would help chop wood or just sit near by drawing or trying to make daisy chains for mikey #something silly #anyway #I don’t do romance but I like using today as a chance to tell my friends I love them and to spend quality time snuggling my dog so #I hope everyone has a good day xxx #thank you again depresso xxx #Spotify #I tried to make this so it couldn’t be platonic but who am I kidding I sit on my friends like this all the time lmao #oh I drew this in my usual grunge way I do for 2012 and then tried to make it look softer with the same brushes so lmk if it worked

POV you’re a medieval townsperson in a poor village that’s being frequently raided and the only plan anyone has is for this one mom to go fetch her son from another town, but when she comes back, not only is it with her son- who you remember as this weird awkward kid- and two other women, but with the fucking PRINCE of an enemy kingdom. and after you recover from the shock of that, you realize that the prince and the weird kid are like……… really close. they’re always having private conversations and staring into each other’s eyes and you heard tell that the prince is sleeping on the floor of the kid’s hut? you remember hearing that this kid was the servant to the prince, but clearly you missed something along the way, because this literal actual prince who is here in your town won’t stop smiling fondly and making the world’s most obvious heart eyes at this random lanky teenager from your small village.

#i was rewatching this episode because it makes me feel things and like. they were genuinely insane for this. #the way merlin’s mom and childhood best friend (and morgana & gwen) ALL call him out on how obviously in love he and arthur are?!!?!!??? #because that IS what’s happening there and you can not convince me otherwise #anyways gonna go think about arthur following after merlin in the dark of night just because he can’t bear to see him leave for good #and the way merlin exclaims “arthur :D!” with more fondness and excitement than i have ever heard when they find each other in the woods #merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #also: i don’t actually know how old merlin is.. this is me interpreting him as ~19 and arthur as ~21. if i’m wrong please don’t come at me 😔 #eli.posts

hi yeah so to this day i’m still thinking about the direct aftermath of the betrayal. about how we still don’t know exactly what happened - maybe the movie will give us some backstory! obviously we know the long-term effects of it, but what happened directly after the button was pushed? like did ambrosius realize what he’d done at first? was there instant horror and regret the moment it happened? or did it take a moment to register that he’d blown off ballister’s arm?

and how long did it take ambrosius to realize that the worst mistake of his life had been by design, planned all along? how long before he realized it was never really his fault, but rather the director’s? was it right after he’d stood up in the arena only to find that ballister was still on the ground, or was it a slow reconciliation with the truth that stretched across years?

and about the feud/breakup itself, too - how much of it was pushed by the director and the news, and how much was it ballister himself, rightly angry that he’d been betrayed? how many times did ambrosius try to tell ballister it was an accident before it became clear ballister didn’t believe him, and how many times after that was he just repeating himself over and over? did he ever mention that he’d tried to help, that he’d seen the spreading pool of blood and tried to rush over, only to be held back? did anybody ever find out that beneath the triumphant, untouchable king’s champion was a scared and bitter young knight, forever regretting something that was out of his control from the very beginning? that the price of his victory was so, so much higher than a broken lance and an arm?

what would it feel like, i wonder, to be a golden boy on a pedestal, exalted as a hero but despised by the person who mattered most to you? to be rewarded with fame and glory and a statue in the town square for something you never even meant to do, something that ruined everything? to be celebrated for the worst thing you ever did, crowned king’s champion and gilded in the eyes of the whole kingdom but knowing their approval means nothing compared to the love of the person you’d hurt, someone you’ll probably never get back again because why would you after what you’d done? to get everything you’d ever thought you wanted, at the expense of the one person who mattered most?

#nimona #nimona comic #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister blackheart #nd stevenson #something about this stokes some insane fire in my brain. i think about it every fucking day #picture me pacing in circles with a wild look in my eyes putting it into words lmao #anyway i spend a lot of time thinking about ambrosius and i wanted to get these particular thoughts out there before the movie #and i was listening to into the woods again and thinking about how its themes of ethics and morality are kind of similar to nimona #how the line between heroes and villains and the subsequent line between good and bad is very blurry. convoluted. maybe even nonexistent #how the characters must weigh one thing - one life! - against another and decide which one is more valuable #to what lengths would you go to achieve the thing you want most in the world? what would you give up? *who* would you give up? #what happens when you get what you want more than anything and it turns out to not be what you expected but you can’t go back? #what happens when you have to choose? and what about when you don’t get the choice at all??? #anyway i’ll save my other thoughts for later so this doesn’t get too rambly!

Love posting my Spotify receipts for the month bc you can always tell when I’ve had smth big to write for one of my classes bc the one Jash song (Dream (Outro from Calamity)) will make the receipt. I did not end up a Jashinator but I do like having a song I can rely on to make me write things.

#rian’s slay compilation #the first time I heard the song I was in a mood all da time so I really identified it w what splitting felt like #idk it doesn’t hit as much now bc I’ve undergone a different sort of mental illness lately (more tired than actively harmful to myself) #^it’s the way it picks up in intensity. that’s what it feels like when you try to communicate how smth feels but they don’t listen and then #go have fun at a concert and you feel so nauseous that you have to leave a shared group chat while you sob your eyes out for several hours. #y’know? anyway June/July was fun. I need four hours of build daily to keep me occupied (tired). it does actually do me wonders. #I’m so big and strong now. idk how big you are my lovely mutuals but I could lift the smaller ones I reckon. #right now I could pick up (not for long) anyone around or under 150 pounds. also preferably not super taller than me but I think it’d work. #it’s a start! I should start lifting. makes me feel big and strong. I wanna pick my friends up. #^sorry to derail this in the tags but I typed that up and was like ‘that’s such a King statement’. it’s bc someone liked a post where I #talked about feeling all overgrown and how King being half a foot shorter than me but still picking me up like a brides made me feel Not #Overgrown #I don’t worry about feeling overgrown so much anymore but I do kinda miss the bride lifting. it was nice every once in a while #it’s small things like that. #side note I think I could pick King up now bc they’re roughly my weight and as we established I can lift ppl about my weight very briefly #it’s the build. it makes me big and strong. it’s all the wood holding and platform throwing

Saint Juniper’s Folly

YA paranormal mystery

follows a foster kid returning to the small town he grew up in, who runs from the judgemental townspeople and ends up magically trapped in a mysterious house in the woods

a boy who lives a boring life in the town until he finds him, and wants to figure out how to save him

and the young witch from the town over who’s heard the woods calling since her mother died, and wants to help

m/m, friendship & investigating a mystery

#Saint Juniper’s Folly #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is….okay #writing is quite young - it feels like middle grade. would be fine bc i like middle grade but it's a bit at odds with the fact that #they’re 18 and talking about college soon and driving round in cars a lot #There’s very little ghosty or spookiness - it’s more just about the characters and their developing relationships #I felt like there were quite a few pivotal scenes missing? Like it skips from the kid being back in this town for the first time #to suddenly he’s stuck in this house in the woods. We don’t see him go out there; realise he’s stuck; or anything. #(unless libby skipped a chapter in my audiobook again?) #It also felt like it skipped any of them like testing the supernatural stuff? They go straight to researching the house’s history. #Once the end is revealed it makes sense I guess - but it’s like the because the author forgot to make the characters (who Don’t know) #do the first logical things you might do in a situation like that. idk. #the boys hating each other at the start felt manufactured for some hate to love thing instead of for any reason.....I didn't buy it #Also my pet peeve of: having a character call her dad by his first name! …….but it's an indication of their bad relationship. okay then. #(I know that is also a real experience but MAN sometimes people just do that it's not always a sign of emotional neglect!!!!) #Anyway - I didn’t hate it by any means; there’s just a few little things that didn't work for me

(*slides onto main with my niche progression fantasy book fandom*) listen why I’ve become so gay for thelys after eotw is just like. the AA1 flashback shows therin sacrificing herself for ria and the others. she tells them to go, to run, and she faces vaelien alone. (and for the first and last time, she falls.) that was there before eotw, and I assumed, to stay as close to our therin crumbs as possible, that it meant therin was dutiful and serious and kind and selfless, a guardian, a protector. (and she loved ria selys. that was never in doubt.)

and then I read eotw, and the smiling sword saint happened, this beautiful piece of shit with sharp words and uncaringly rough edges and the capacity to tear apart a landmass with a motion of her lips, who was glad to hear that she ended in a two-sun blaze of glory, who was eager for a good fight and fully confident she would win because she always does. because there are blades in her breath and in her skin.

and she wielded a sword with a handle of white stone. she never transitioned from the body she was born in, the one she shouldn’t have had. the sword of her rival-killer was marked with golden runes for every life it took. he stood in part shadow.

so she was therin.

and that changed things. that meant that this fucking asshole was the person who stayed behind and gave her life to give the people she cared about a chance. this was the person who held ria close and ran her fingers through her hair. this was who loved her.

#tldr: augh fuck i love that therin APPEARED and got CHARACTERIZATION #but i love her like im really gay #also awesome trans rep in eotw i died #therin #thelys #the lost edge #edge of the woods spoilers #just in case lmao #arcane ascension #anyway if anyone actually sees this and has no idea what i’m talking about other than lesbians #read sufficiently advanced magic and the silence of unworthy gods and read edge of the woods. #no there is no context. yes there are two whole books between sam and tsoug. they are all by #andrew rowe #i’m adding ‘write a fic for them’ to my to-do list. it is one of many fic ideas i suddenly am having and needing to write. #they are all going after ‘homework’. no i don’t like it either but what can you do

[freshlypeeled]

I’ve been writing a scene where my fantasy character gets to sorta project themself into a (real) podunk town and kept it as accurate as I could by dropping myself there in google maps and typing out the things I saw as I “walked”

​to be extra cannon accurate I had to set the year back to the 2014 (specifically what I’m writing takes place in 2016/17) and also spent like 30 minutes researching if this one shit restaurant in the 2014 drive got shut down before or after then (in the 2019 drive it was a law firm and in 2023 it was abandoned) just to have a single sentence be accurate

#Aut talks #fwiw this is a town I grew up near and am vaguely familiar with #but it is not my hometown #my dad just goes hiking in the woods near it every weekend so I went with him a lot in highschool and during college breaks #so like I know specifically how to get there and to like the Dairy Queen #and also the kayaking spots #long story short I never saw this restaurant and never entered it so idk #the two existing yelp reviews said it sucked tho lmfao #nobody would know the difference but I would lol #for the two people that care-the character is Alik #so they don’t know wtf is going on anyway

I’m gonna try this thing :D

But what if it DOES work out ☀️💕🍰🎇🎉🎈🔪🔪🔪🥰🔪✨

#I literally cannot stand pessimism anymore it’s just like #BELIEVE #FOR ONE SEC PRETEND YOU CAN BELIEVE #everytime someone continually responds to me negatively (like every response begins with ‘but’) #I just want to ask them to keep track of how many times a day they do that #because it’s a LOT #when I was a cs major men would CONSTANTLY do this to me and I would just go silent anytime they invalidated what I was saying #the conversation was just over #if you’re doing nothing but disagreeing with whoever you’re speaking to it’s not a conversation! #BAH #squawk tag #anyway….. #we’re never gonna get out of the woods if we don’t start walking

Thanks for the tag!! I have done this already pretty recently, and there's nothing new in my WIP folder, but if it's okay, I'd like to hear more of "sweet serial killer" :)

Ok so background; sweet serial killer is an unreleased Lana del Rey track and I’ve been listening to her and watching a lot of horror movie reviews on YouTube so I was inspired to write something with a 70/80s slasher vibe.

TW: Dub/Non-con

Anyway we have protag! Ben who goes to a party in the woods where they’re getting drunk and whatever but then a machete wielding maniac (Ren) comes in and kills everybody while Ben runs away. Ben is almost out of the woods but he trips and Ren catches him and threatens to kill him. Ben begs to be let go so Ren says “suck my dick and I won’t kill you” so Ben does bc what choice does he have? After the bj Ren says “ok can’t leave any witnesses so we’re going to my house” and Ben is freaking out bc he thought he would be able to leave so Ren is dragging him back into the woods.

There’s a plot twist after that so I’ll leave it in the tags bc idk if it will get published any time soon (midterms + work + family stuff) but yeah!

#aptenotalks #anyway the plot twist is that the police show up and they think it’s an actual hostage situation #so they arrest Ren and are trying to take him to jail but Ben is screaming at them to stop #bc it was an elaborate sex game they were playing on Halloween #they were so far into the woods they didn’t think anyone could hear them #and so the police just say go tf home we don’t get paid enough for this shit #and that’s kinda it :p
