While I do think anon was rude, I do think it's pretty shitty to set up all this stuff you were going to add the au and then just drop it. It's disappointing. Definitely unfollowing.

Bye.

#ask me #anon #once AGAIN. #I am not dropping anything #the au is not getting cancelled. more than likely i'm gonna take a break from it until i find motivation again #But I've been drawing the AU for half a fucking year #In that time I've only drawn 5 things that aren't mlp related #I'm getting tired and my last few posts didn't do as well as I'd hoped #And I'm not about to burn myself out on mlp au art even if I really do love making it #I'm still gonna make comics. I have a bunch of ideas. #Tulli and I still wanna do the limited run merch shop #Discord is still coming. Sunset is still coming. Sombra is still coming. I have so many ideas #But I need to do something else for my own sake. Did you know I was supposed to get the background 6 designs done by now #But I didn't because I'm TIRED #I've been keeping myself on a schedule to keep content pumping despite travel and school and family and I'm tired #what i'm getting isn't matching what i'm giving and that's nobody's fault. i'm not frustrated at anyone. a slump was bound to happen #drawing the au was fun until it become my Thing. Because when your Thing––your identity––starts to faulter #it can really make you freak out #And that's not healthy for the project or for myself. I need to find the fun again and I'm sure I will #I'm really appreciative of everyone's support in my inbox and replies it really does mean a lot especially given that about 2/3 of my #followers followed for mlp. But if you're gonna react to me saying “i'm gonna cool down on mlp art and draw my own stuff” with “i'm #disappointed in you." then Leave! I think it's good you're unfollowing #you are not obligated to stick by my side! But don't act like I'm doing you a disservice by turning my attention elsewhere #I didn't promise anyone anything and I definitely didn't say I'm breaking any promises.

"the cat came back"

⫭◦⨝◦⫬

h. p. lovecraft x fem! natsume's daughter! reader

lovecraft is canon afraid of cats! now you know >:)

warnings: uncontrollable fluff ; that was a joke idk how to fluff ; made him ooc af womp womp ; i want to eat lovecraft ; just a little nom nom is that too much to ask; tentacle hentai (reader eats his hair) ; fishing boats (derogatory) ; intended lowercase

moonlight was his favourite time of the day.

his eyes peeked out from the rippling surface of the water, hair floating and spanning out like branches of a tree. he was sleeping a short while ago, until...

"shh!! it's the middle of the night, someone's gonna yell at us for doing this!"

disinterested eyes glanced at a boat. a fishing boat. he shuddered; it appeared like two adults were sitting down on it, giggling mischievously at each other while the motor grumbled loudly, scaring away the sea life from the secluded corner along the coast.

"bah, it's not a big deal," the other person responded, sporting a confident smirk. "we're out in the middle of nowhere. who are we going to disturb, the little mermaid?"

another round of giggles. the couple bickered about something else, something he didn't care to remember, then ate each other. lovecraft watched curiously as their lips met, then sighed. he wanted to sleep.

he reached a tentacle from under the surface of the water and capsized the boat.

another week, another goddamn boat. he just wanted to sleep: ever since the guild had fallen apart, he didn't have to do anything, and he enjoyed it very much. he'd occasionally leave the comfort of the sea for some ice cream, but the looks he'd get while out in public made him anxious, so he'd stopped doing that a long time ago.

"I heard the spooky sea beast lives around here..." a voice said lowly, holding a flashlight out to the murky waters. "some say it's the kraken, others that it's the soul of the deceased..."

he didn't like to be disturbed. lovecraft flipped them over.

the next night, it happened again.

by the end of the month, it seemed he had become a local folklore story. he wasn't particularly interested in hearing all the stories about himself, and what was worse is that he found himself at the center of attention. gross.

he would keep flipping boats until they would leave him alone.

"[_____], come on, get in the boat! you're such a scaredy cat!"

"yeah, I am!" the woman yelling from the shore exclaimed. she was watching a few of her friends get into a wooden tub of death and paddle in the direction of a sea creature that had been terrorizing their city. it wasn't a myth, as everyone who doubted would go and find themselves thrown into the water promptly. the question was mostly as to what on earth was doing this. "you know I hate getting wet, and I don't want to get eaten by a sea beast today, thank you very much!"

the friends pouted, pleaded for her to come along, and the only agreement they came to involved the woman following them from land. she watched them as her boots squelched into the damp earth in the same direction as their path, and they spoke from a far distance.

which woke up lovecraft.

he grumbled, displeased. this was never fun, and it was getting even worse now. the top of his head peeped out from the water as he got a look at the young adults laughing and joking from their fishing boat, and he flipped them with one movement.

they all yelled out as they splashed into the water, arms desperately gripping onto the upside-down boat as they looked around fearfully, then at each other with chuckles.

"told ya it was real!"

"gahh, my shirt is soaked!"

"dude, your entire body is soaked."

it was all a game to them, he seemed to notice. they thought this little escapade and mission of disturbing him was all for fun. he didn't have time to feel annoyed about it, because it was time to sleep. on the verge or disappearing back into the abyss, he felt a pebble bounce on the back of his head.

he turned his head around, his neck contorting as he saw a young woman looking at him, eyes wide.

they stared at each other for a few moments.

she let out a yelp, and her entire body compressed down to that of a calico cat.

he saw the cat and yelled out in response, tentacles sprouting, bursting out from various parts of his body.

the cat ran away and nothing was said. the group of friends were still laughing as they had gotten back into the boat and began paddling to shore, not seeing the iceberg underneath their feet that was the body of a real sea monster.

.

.

.

.

the next day, lovecraft was out of the water, in the middle of the day nonetheless, simply to dry up a little bit before he went back into the water. somehow, this logic added up to him.

all was fine until he saw the woman again.

she was leaning against a rock, not quite sitting but not quite standing. she looked nervous, glancing around her everywhere as if she was expecting to get attacked at any moment. her eyes darted to the water, where she saw nothing, then back to her surrounding. back to the water. back the the surroundings. her foot was tapping the soil incessantly and her lower lip was being abused by her teeth as she nibbled to distract herself.

this time, she saw him.

they looked at each other again, but it was much more tamed than the previous time. she didn't turn into a cat, and he didn't turn into a natural catastrophe.

her mouth seemed to open, but lovecraft didn't hear any words from out of her. she just creased her brows together, then sighed. "um... hi, hello. I'm... I'm [_____]. you're howard phillips lovecraft, aren't you?"

he hovered at the surface with only his dark eyes and long hair visible, maintaining blank stare.

she extended her hand out to him, then realized it was stupid to shake hands with someone who was several meters away, several meters deep into the water. laughing nervously, she rubbed the back of her neck.

"I didn't... I didn't mean to scare you the other day, you just caught me off guard. you see, I'm in the business of keeping track of the ability users in yokohoma, and you never came up on my radar. so I asked around," and here she kicked a rock with a chuckle to herself, "actually, I just asked my dad, and he told me about the guild."

still no reaction. lovecraft had fallen asleep with his eyes open.

she crouched down, grabbed a pebble, and flicked it onto his forehead. heavy eyelids raised for a moment.

"would you be willing to uh... get out of the water to speak with me, for just a moment? I can... well, I don't really know what to offer you."

she babbled on, face flushed and looking at the ground and her feet as she kept speaking, saying things that neither of them understood, and it was only when he got close that she took notice the tall, dripping wet figure looming over her. he was wearing clothes and everything, even had was appeared to have been a nice jacket in the past before... whatever tore it apart. she met his eyes.

"thank you! it just makes this... whatever... easier... ahh, forget about it. could we... walk and talk? I don't want to lure you away from your... your home?..."

"I'm hungry," he proclaims, a statement more than a request.

"sure!" she nodded, although a little confused and uncertain, leading the way as she walks through the rugged terrain of the trail before arriving at her car and opening the passenger door for him, waiting for him to hop inside.

now, he looked confused.

"is there food inside?"

this was going to be a long discussion.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

[_____]'s job was simple: she had to keep tabs on all of the ability users in yokohoma. know who they worked for, their relationships, their dreams and aspirations. when you can turn into a cuddly ball of fur, it isn't particularly hard to gain information.

she had no clue what was going on with this man, though.

rumours had sprung up about the sea monster. she knew, of course, there was no such thing, but in the spirit of the approaching holiday she indulged her friends in a trip.

seeing a man living in the water was not what she had expected, much less to surprise herself by getting flustered enough to accidentally use her ability and turn into a cat. it was just her luck that cats seemed to terrify the man.

speaking was hard too, since he didn't really seem to know much about the ways of the world. she knew he was from america, but common courtesy of not trying to eat someone's car for dinner was likely the same there as it was in japan. likely.

it was cute how ice cream was the secret to taming him.

"lovecraft," she snapped her fingers in his face as he zoned out for what could be the seventh time in the same sentence, "look, I don't mean to take your entire day. I was just hoping you could lay low on the boat flipping for the time being."

"I am laying low," he stated blankly, a smudge of chocolate cream smeared across the corner of his lip, like a child. she chuckled warmly and pointed it out to him, but he just shrugged and kept licking the frozen treat. "the boats keep coming."

"because you've become a horror attraction," she retorted. something deep within her caused her to run her thumb along the edge of his lip to clean him up, partly because she knew he wouldn't do it himself, partly because she thought she'd go mad over the messiness. "leave the boats alone and they'll leave you alone. it's as simple as that."

he wasn't paying attention again. he'd gotten tired of licking and dislocated his jaw just to swallow the entire cone in one bite. the paper wrapper and napkin around it were still not removed, too, but he didn't seem to care as he pushed his jaw back into place and kept walking by her side, as if it were nothing.

she decided it was easier to not comment.

they made their way back to the vehicle, and she dropped him back off at his corner of the water, verifying multiple times that he didn't want help looking for a place to live. a slight pause and hesitation; she wanted to give him her phone number in the event he needed something, but she quickly realized he probably doesn't even have a phone, let alone one he uses.

another ability user to add to her list. what a bunch of weirdos.

boats kept coming.

this time, they were getting louder, more intrusive. some people brought diving gear and headlights, eager to explore the water for the sea beat. lovecraft was not pleased.

it was hard at first to take the advice of the strange woman. then, when they put on loud speakers and played blaring music during their expeditions, it became impossible to ignore them. a blizzard of tentacles and otherworldly monstrous body parts ravaged every boat on the lake.

[_____] showed up a dozen minutes later, not pleased.

no one was injured, but news reporters had gathered and were making a bug fuss out of it all. they dispersed after some time, and she was the only one left. she tossed pebbles into the water, hoping for him to resurface for them to talk.

"I specifically told you to do one thing," she grumbled, glaring into his sleepy eyes that peeked up. "now the whole town knows there's something going on here."

he briefly racked his brain for past interactions with his former partner, steinbeck, and realized this was the sort of situation where he was supposed to apologize. she looked at him with distrust when he did (quite blandly), but ultimately sighed and shook her head, saying it wasn't a problem.

"maybe you just need to get out of here," she proposed. "if you're not in the water when the tourists arrive, you won't have to endure all of it. do you have someplace else to go in the meantime?"

a shake of his head signaled he didn't, but also that he didn't seem to care. of course he wasn't picky about where he lived, he was currently residing in what amounted to a swamp.

"would you like to stay with me until this whole thing goes away?"

lovecraft shrugged, "okay," as if it weren't a big deal for either of them. she scolded herself for being baffled at his nonchalant reaction, which was to be expected.

she insisted he dry himself up this time before getting in her car, though.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

lovecraft made himself at home by eating just about everything she had in her pantry, then trying to eat the pantry.

a smack on the back of his neck with a rolled up newspaper, and he was set straight. she indicated that he could sleep on the couch for the time being, just as long as he double-checked with her that it was okay before eating anything, emphasis on thing.

"I'm not around most of the time," she told him as she put on a coat while near the entrance, eyes darting around to make sure she wasn't leaving any valuable around in the event that they magically disappear upon her return. "so, the place is yours. are you sure you don't have anyone you want to stay with? I was told you had a partner when you were in the guild, a young lad named steinbeck. I can track him and the remnants of the guild down, if you'd like."

"no."

not a trace of anger, disgust, or even any emotion from his response. he simply wanted to be left alone, she realized.

her expression softened and she put the coat back down, walking up to him.

"how about this, would you want to go get some ice cream again? I can pay, of course."

money didn't seem to cross his radar, so the final comment went through his head. she wanted to understand him, as was the task her father had delegated onto her to know all ability users, but it was proving a lot harder than she'd thought.

that's how she found herself, a disgusted look on her face as she watched lovecraft jump into a small pond near the ice cream shop, the treat still in his hand. the ball of frozen cream floated on the surface of the murky water, and he opened his mouth to eat it like a koi fish.

"there's... there's so much wrong with what you're doing right now," she frowned, watching him happily ruin the clothes she'd just bought for him by swimming around in them. again. "howard, you're going to have to take it easy on my wallet, I don't have an infinite supply of clothes to get you."

he vanished under the surface and did not come back up for an entire minute.

she couldn't handle water - she retained quite a bit of feline features even in human form, after all - and there was no way in hell she was going to jump in to save him if he were drowning. he wasn't drowning, of course, he'd just made his way along the floor and chomped down on unsuspecting sea-dwellers. since she'd said she can't pay for everything, this was free. at least, he thinks it is.

when he came back up, she sighed with a tired smile on her face, leading him back to the apartment.

"how does your hair never get tangled?"

she was watching him curiously as he spread his lanky limbs across the sofa, bones breaking and body distorting to make it more comfortable for him. he didn't seem to hear her question until fingers raked through silky locks.

"why would it?" he raised a brow, eyelids still shut. after a few weeks, he'd gotten better at conversation, but the horror fanatics were still invading his little corner of the sea. besides, he liked it better here.

"oh right, I forgot that you don't have the problems the rest of us mortals have," she said jokingly, but realized she wasn't even sure if it was a joke. she started having doubts that he had an ability and wasn't really just a sea monster after all. fingers combed through obsidian streaks. "ahhh... it's so soft..."

she stood up in front of him, and made her entire body visible. "I'm going to turn into a cat, now."

they agreed to make it clear to the other before doing anything that scared the other, and that involved using their abilities. she liked being a cat, most of the time, as it was more pleasant to nap and lounge around in that form. however, it still caught him by surprise, and he nearly shattered the entire apartment once when he went into the kitchen for some food and caught her sleeping in a bread basket.

grey eyes watched the calico cat pounce up from the floor onto the sofa, hobble along the edge of his body until it twirled around itself and slept in the waves of hair.

he was already asleep by then, so he didn't mind when little cat teeth nibbled on the strands. they tasted like sea water, to no one's shock. paws stretched out with a yawn, then went back to snuggling themselves under the warm body of fur.

maybe this arrangement wasn't so bad.

he was getting much better as weeks turned into months. the craze over the yokohoma sea monster died down, but he found himself attached to someone for the first time in his existence. he didn't know how to describe the feeling other than warmth and that of a full stomach.

giggles exhaled in clouds of fog as she walked on the empty streets at night with him by her side. she was cold, and so was he; the only difference is that she felt it whereas he simply didn't care.

"can we go home..." he grumbled, albeit glad for the absence of people in the vicinity. they made him uncomfortable, all except for her. he didn't know why his lips were tugging upwards as she took his hand in hers.

"you're freezing," she remarked against icy flesh. "I'm sure there's a café or something nearby, if you want to warm up before headi-"

his other arm wrapped itself around her waist and pulled her against his frame, face buried deep enough in his chest to cause her to suffocate. her feet were kicked upwards behind her, body no longer touching the ground as he carried her entire weight with his one arm.

"you're cold too. this will help."

"MFMFMFMNMNMF!!"

he took her muffled cries for confirmation that he did the right thing, and walked them home in just about the most awkward position possible. she managed to crane her neck to the side, gasping for breaths, but just laughed to herself at his peculiarities.

he was right, it did help.

.

.

.

.

she remained curled up against him even as they got inside, slipped under blankets and were laying on the couch. not that she had a choice; he didn't seem keen on letting go anytime soon.

"my limbs don't bend like yours do. could I..." she squirmed, grateful that he seemed to get the message and loosened his hold on her. she repositioned herself then curled back up into him, rubbing her head in slow circles against his chest from feline instinct. she muttered a thanks into his slowly warming shirt.

everything felt so uncomplicated in his presence. even as a horror movie played in the background, she nearly fell asleep on him, and he had long gone into the realm of dreams. they were both snoring softly when a dramatic scream emanated from the television, jolting him awake.

her eyes were still closed, and he just took a look at her face for a few moments before having what was more of an urge than an idea.

he ate her mouth.

this sprung her wide awake as she pulled away from shock once she'd realized he was biting her lips.

"what are you doing?!" she shrieked, hands pushing on his chest to lift herself up and off of him. "you can't just... what... why would you... ?!!!"

he looked at her with a dull expression, a sliver of confusion revealing itself on his long features. "I saw... I saw people do this when they're content. I-"

"oh my god," she let out a breath of relief as she understood that his actions didn't align with his intentions, even chuckling softly as she let herself fall back onto him, body now completely on top of his. her face was hovering on top of him, and she kept a gentle smile. "people do that when they're in love, howard. it's called a kiss."

again, confusion and a grumble. "oh. what does that mean?"

she squinted, almost as if looking for the answer to his question in the backrooms of his irises. "I don't know how to explain it, but it's what people feel when they're really happy around each other."

"I feel like that," he stated blankly, watching as her face flushed in embarrassment.

"you can't just say that like it's nothing," she managed to croak out without combusting on the spot. "love is a very big thing. you have to mean it."

"why wouldn't I mean it?"

her lips parted as she tried to respond, then realized just how simple everything was with this man. lovecraft didn't care about the specifics, and maybe she shouldn't either. she exhaled through her mouth slowly, then brought her hands to his cheek.

"okay, fine. I'm going to kiss you now, alright? don't do anything like try to bite my flesh off, just... just let me kiss you. can we try that?" the words felt silly as they spilled out, but he nodded. if it didn't involve him doing anything, that was even better, he thought.

his eyes were open as lips met again. he took notice that hers were closed, but he couldn't quite understand why. it was nothing like what he'd tried earlier: she was soft and slow about it. he could feel her chest fall and rise in sync with the gentle breaths she let out. it was clear she wasn't sure about what she was doing, but after a few moments, she leaned in closer and he could taste her on his tongue. she rubbed her lips on his, and smirked once she felt him trying to reciprocate by copying her movements. fingers slid from his cheeks to his hair, and she pulled his face deeper into hers.

she let out a soft yelp as his tongue dipped further into her, now an addict of her taste. he tried to be careful, he really did, but his teeth bit down into her tongue a little harshly as he tried to get the hang of this. as soon as things got too messy, too fast, she slowly pulled away, his lower lip flicking back upwards as her own let it go. her eyes fluttered back open, and she found herself giggling as she saw that his were open the entire time. of course they were.

"that," she whispered with a smile, fingers stroking his hair and weaving through them at his scalp, "that is a kiss. how did that feel?"

his face literally melted and he became a gooey mess of tentacles and monstrous shapes as he felt his entire body explode internally.

watching his version of being flustered be to turn into his alternate form, she was tempted to giggle at how adorable his reaction was. however, she quickly found herself projected across the room as he accidentally threw her out of panic.

she chuckled, back slumped against the wall while sitting on the floor on the opposite end of the room, a hand on her head feeling for any bumps or cuts. "I take it that means you liked it."

a hand around his hips, a hand holding a cup of hot chocolate.

a hand on her waist, a hand gripping five different ice cream cones all at once.

they sat on a bench in the dead of the night, which was really the only time she could get him out of the apartment. during the day, she would go out and work while he stayed home and slept. during the night, they would occasionally go out, then come home and sleep. it was quite the schedule.

she took a slow sip of her hot chocolate, head tilting to the side in order to rest on his shoulder. in order to not disturb her, he contorted his neck at an angle that would make anybody call on for a higher being's protection, and tossed all the cones into his mouth in one motion.

"want a sip?" she offered her drink, unfazed by anything he did anymore. "not the whole cup, just a taste."

his eyes met hers, and he shrugged yes. she smirked and kissed his lips, the chocolate flavour lingering even as she pulled away.

thankfully, as they were in public even though there was no one out at this unholy hour, he just blushed and did not morph into an enemy of the state and humanity. she liked it when he blushed; his sharp features softened and glistened under the moonlight. another kiss to the high of his cheekbones paired with fingertips sliding along his abdomen, and the red deepened.

"m'just messin' with you," murmured against his skin. "want to go home now?"

it was a stupid question: he always wanted to go home.

only, his home was no longer a place, but a person.

the way people just openly, openly, openly ask and beg for more content, more updates, more fics, more, more more is not a good look????

do you know how long it takes to make content? and it's consumed in 30 minutes, but people spend hours and days and weeks and months making something and it's consumed so quickly...and people beg and beg and beg but can't be assed to leave a reply under that artwork and be like "WOW! that's amazing, i love this"

fandom spaces are missing that sense of community because all they care about is getting content sooner...but encouraging others and uplifting them is how content happens naturally, not whining for it

#and i don't wanna pull the “i've been in fandom spaces before some of y'all were born” but i fucking have #and i've been in empty fandoms...where nothing gets made. maybe once every 4 months there's a new thing #there is new lego content every fucking day. there's new art and fic everyday #AND THE SHOW IS STILL GOING??? you just have to wait. season 4 came out LAST YEAR??? #it hasn't been like 5 years or ANYTHING we're not starving for content...our show isn't cancelled it's...being made and worked on #and that takes time #but i've never seen this.. reach of “GIMMIE MORE” for something that we're gonna get. you just gotta wait a few extra months like holy shit #i get being excited! i'm excited too. there's nothing wrong with that #but whining and whining repeatedly is just something i don't understand

my timbern hot take is that i thank god everyday that we got riley rossmo's art for those first few issues instead of serg acuña's because i know some of you bitches would've been extremely weird about timbern if we had gotten acuña's manga-esque style from the beginning

#some of you people would've been soooo weird about them #ooooh i just /know/ the discourse would've been so fucking crazy #and there would've been way too much discussion over who tops #and cause they drew tim taller in acuña's style #you woulda had people swearing up and down that it's tim #this post feels like swinging a bat at a hornet's nest #the amt of tiny waist/waif-like bear we would've gotten??? #oh my god i'm like thanking every god i know that i ended up in this universe #who do you think would've gotten daddy-dom-ified? #i wanna say tim just bc he's a superhero and bear's a civvie but... maybe bear? #tim goes out and saves the city each night and then goes home and immediately becomes more pathetic than a wet dog for bear #i will be logging off after this /j #gonna post this and then immediately scrub the memory of this post out of my mind #also i think bear's pov issue was the perfect place for acuña's art #sorry but bear deserves to be drawn like that all the time #acuña idc if you work on the next shitty batfam story #i will always defend you #some dude 20yrs from now talking about acuña's work: didn't he do like *insert absolutely horrendous comic run here* #me frothing at the mouth: yeah but he did tdr7 so really i think it cancels out #dc #bernard dowd #tim drake #timber #timbern #also if we're being honest there is a reason that timbern got semi popular over jayjon #and that's bc timbern are 2 ***** men and jay is east asian and people will ship anything if they're ***** #and bc ppl are still really hung up on d*m*j*n for some reason???? as if they aren't still friends??? #and if you really want a mlm ship for damian‚ colin wilkes is right there!!!! #nika is right there!!! stop playin in my face!!!! #and!! i would argue that jayjon is written better than timbern

Latest design for my OC Crystal Hailhorn, who might be included in a future ᓵ𝙹ᒲ╎ᓵ

(Credit to @echolepzy for the open species used here. {please check tags for the species name} I still own the character, I just don't feel comfortable leaving the usage of a fictional species without credit to its creator.)

Alt under cut if you want to see the markings covered by her clothes (it won't show anything that'll make the Purity Worshippers™ mad)

Hid this under a cut because i might just be overthinking, but I can't be too careful in the minefield that is the internet

#artists on tumblr #artwork #digital art #art #furry art #anthro #alien oc #petralyn #furry #a heccin chonker /pos #i gotta be less paranoid about how rotund i can make my characters #im just paranoid about it barreling into a negative caricature; which is ABSOLUTELY not my intention #i'm trying to make sure that the proportions don't become cartoonish and offensive #most likely those preventative measures didn't work and i think I'm gonna get cancelled and lumped in with the actual bigots in hell #fuck it I'm posting this even though it's the equivalent of strapping an active time-bomb to my chest #the floof

The OFMD raised 10k for Gaza back in November. Of course you ignored that so you could keep being spiteful.

yep! I sure did! if you replace "ignored" with "never fucking heard about in the first place" then yeah I totally ignored it. thanks for the bad faith! I really appreciate it :)

also it doesn't change the fact that I still think that 20k over a cancelled show's billboard is fucking stupid

#have we considered that maybe... juuust maybe... the information was not ignored... but may have never been seen in the first place! #have we considered this astounding possibility! #answered #i love how you immediately think i ignored it and it never occurred to you that i just might not have seen it #and i love even more that you think it negates the ridiculousness of 20 THOUSAND DOLLARS for a times square billboard for a cancelled show #lmao #they're not gonna go 'OOOH A BILLBOARD OH GOOD HEAVENS LETS RENEW POSTHASTE 😱' #and I'm allowed to think that it's a ridiculous thing to put twenty. fucking thousand dollars towards #thanks tho #like... okay? thats wonderful. genuinely. I'm glad they did that. but What Does That Have To Do With The Stupid Fucking Billboard #also imagine sending this shit on anon. trying to call me out in bad faith but you don't even wanna show yourself

i’m writing anemo visions meta and just gotta say, tired of ppl calling Diluc angsty when Anemo and Cryo Depression Club exists. angst requires being introspective and some degree of self-loathing, Diluc has neither. He’s action-oriented and self-righteous, he knows he made mistakes, but he doesn’t really dwell on the past. He blames Knights of Favonius first and foremost, not himself. He’s not angsty, he’s emotionally repressed and anxious, that’s different. He has access to positive connections to other people even if he has to feel useful to them first (example - for his birthday he makes a special dish for the Traveler and he’s like “Here, I climbed mountains for rare berries for this, now we can hang out :)”, which like not the healthiest behavior, but nowhere near the Anemo and Cryo Club)

like take Kaeya and Venti, or “I’ve made a fatal mistake in the past that cost me connection to a close person and now I don’t allow other people close bc I’m sure it’ll just hurt them, and instead I’m trying to chase the cheap pleasure and think I have to be entertaining to keep people’s attention even when I feel like shit” duo.

like Kaeya is legit that person who is always grinning and seems not just fine, but like, trolling others himself, until once a year he drops the most depressed offhand remark and when you’re like “Dude, are you okay??” and he’s like “haha just kidding” and doesn’t say anything for another year. Like have you seen his birthday letters, jesus christ. 

and Venti is an Ehehe who is wearing face of his dead friend for the last 2000 years, idk if I need to say more.

and then there are Xiao and Rosaria, who are just on another level of “I’m corrupted so I can’t let people close for their own sake, and my only worth is in doing things that good people shouldn’t do, but the same acts that make my worth as a weapon also make me a monster who doesn’t deserve redemption” self-destructive spiral. 

#rhine talks #guess who's managed to catch cold in fucking summer and had to cancel all social activities #so now i'm gonna spam shitposts sorry #but yeah rosa could do what xiao does but xiao couldn't live amongst ppl and isolate himself like she does #so rosa actually takes the angst crown #is it enough filler tags to keep this post from getting into character tags #rosaria #xiao #kaeya #venti

I kissed someone, it wasn't you Leaning in like you were supposed to do This was what I waited for But it just made me miss you more

#sports night #sportsnightedit #casey mccall #dana whitaker #i do love them a little not gonna lie #i kissed someone (it wasn't you) by dodie. link in source #this song is literally them i'm crying #just thinking about them you know #tumblr kind of ruined the quality a little and the sitcom style of the cinematography #doesn't lend itself to beautiful artistic close-ups #anyway. i really like the way these turned up #lyric over screenshots like it's 2016 and i'm deep in my obsession with love never dies (the musical by lloyd webber) #friends to lovers is my favourite trope and they fucked it up in this show... fuck the network for cancelling it #mine:edits

mental health facilities looooove to only have inpatient available when it would make things worse

#''you have to be proactive and search for treatement'' I DID #I SHOWED UP A MONTH AGO AND ASKED TO BE HOSPITALIZED #DONT TELL ME NOW ''ooh the only thing we can propose is hospitalization why are you here'' #IT'S MY LAST RESORT OKAY #everything else is blocked off #i have no idea what i'm supposed to do #i absolutely do not trust any of your sections to handle eating disorders in a way that's adapted to my case #this system is fucking hostile to anybody who doesn't have the exact same priorities than the official ones #or who has slightly unusual problems #or who doesn't want to sacrifice all happiness to appear healthy #jesus fucking christ #i'm gonna do it. i'm gonna try to get an appointment for the fucking. psychological center or whatnot they gave me #im gonna try to get back in contact with the hospital nutritionist #but my question is fucking: what for #the plan is like: complete this program of painful things for this goal you don't want and then you're allowed back into human life #okay sorry i can't live without hurting literally everybody around me have you considered euthanasia instead perhaps #i'm not interested in achieving your goals #i just want to be okay and live an okay life just let me go back to school #post cancelled actually i just remembered again the problem is me #the problem is me the problem is me and as long as i live i will be me with me #broadcasting my misery #vent

okay not to be a mean disabled cunt but y'all need to keep the c slur out of your fucking mouths. you did it with the r slur why don't you give a shit about physically disabled people?? oh your bad mood is fucking crippling you? are you a fucking cripple then? are you? cuz i am IN THE LITERAL SENSE. is it truly turning you into me? is it making you physically disabled? IT FUCKING ISN'T AND YOU KNOW IT!!! like jfc sometimes physically abled people who have mental disorders need to sit their asses down and remember that physically disabled people are oppressed in a way that they are NOT we always get fucking trampled and talked over in disabled spaces!!!!

y'all made me use the fucking c slur in this when it makes me feel unwell everytime i see it. all bc somehow your dumbasses can't figure out that using the c slur in verb form is still ableist as fuck. only physically disabled people can use those words. and even then it's a shitty fucking adjective that i hope dies forever. i fucking hate sharing spaces with abled mentally ill folks sometimes holy shit. i'm tired

#lay text #c slur tw #i'm clinically insane btw a HUGE chunk of physically disabled ppl are also not neurotypical #bc being physically disabled is traumatic af #i'm gonna start blocking i swear to god #i'm about to pull r slurs just to shock some sense into y'all #why do you give the biggest shits about mentally disabled folks but not actual literal cr*pples?????? #using the r slur at all can cancel you forever online but c slur is no big deal???? i'm supposed to still be friends???? fuck off #don't talk to me abt this if you've used it before or rbed a post with cr*pple or cr*ppling in it. you fucked up. go away just do better no
