#honestly all of you are darlings

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

a couple scribbles i cleaned up. also i think i like drawing him in varying states of distress

#i desperately want to know what happened the first time he cried #actually is that something he can do? is he capable of it? #i feel like he wouldn't like it... #since crying is messy and we all know he enjoys/values his appearance greatly #i mean cmon. its an involuntary loss of composure. and especially if he doesnt understand what/why its happening #so in my mind rn hed be idk... kinda desperate to stop crying & act fine? #HES SO FASCINATING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM <3 #many things probably! #what to do when you're a puppet created as a blank slate while everyone around you already Knows Shit and Understands Feelings #scribble salad #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcome home fanart #welcome home wally #wally darling #i know there's a lot of Head Empty jokes abt him #but honestly he gives the vibes of thinking constantly #always absorbing information and considering and learning and Forming Opinions #he LOOKS head empty. but he isnt. #i just cant imagine him never not Thinking #unless he really is head empty in which case. good for him. i support him no matter what. hes just like me<3

I almost forgot to update you all, sorry Darlings, it's been a very long day.

Thankfully I do have some good news! Both Bug and Bunny are doing surprisingly well, though they are both noticeably anxious still. They will be on some medication for a few weeks that I have to give them at set intervals, and I will have to take them back in for a check up a couple of times too, but other than that, they are both doing shockingly well all things considered.

The vet staff was even kind enough to give them both a bath and help remove some of the mats I was unable to remove myself, as well as handle the injuries to their paws and mouths from the neglect they dealt with in their former home.

It took a while to get them to come out of their new carrier, but once they did, they pretty much went into hiding immediately. I was eventually able to lure them out with a promise of treats and an old documentary about birds so that I could give them more meds, and thankfully they both stayed in view long enough for me to get a photo of the two of them watching it together to share with you all! (Please forgive the mess, they think they're smaller than they are, so playtime clearly results in a lot more chaos than I was really prepared for.)

(Bug is the chonkiest boy, holy shit. Him Round.)

Once again, I'm incredibly grateful for the support and understanding from all of you, it really does mean a lot to me. I don't know if I'll be able to jump right back into posting just yet, but I will do my best to get back to it again soon.

Please stay safe Darling ones, and try to be kind to yourselves 🖤

#mod speaks #bug and bunny #long post #that unicorn is one of their favourite toys right now by the way. They like the way it crinkles and sparkles #I don't have any before pictures that I can actually share with any of you but these babies have improved in leaps and bounds compared to #before. They honestly look like completely different cats. at least to myself and the vet techs. Head vet was an actual angel #I can't talk about what's happening with the creep in anymore detail unfortunately as it has now turned into a slightly more serious legal #matter. but just know that things are slowly pointing in the right direction. #thank you again for being so kind and patient Darlings. I really couldn't have handled it if you weren't all so understanding

especially now that i've been playing so much animal crossing i've been thinking about my welcome home animal crossing au!! perhaps i'll talk more about it at some point but for now here's a quick doodle of cat wally :)

#dandy's doodles #welcome home #welcome home wally #wally darling #animal crossing #kin #in short the human/player character is 'you'/the viewer #and the welcome home characters are all the villagers #and y'know at first it's all fun and sweet and happy #but slowly slowly the villagers start moving out for unknown reasons #until wally is the only one left #spooky... #i don't know if he knows what's going on. honestly it'd be really funny if he didn't #like everyone else has disappeared under mysterious circumstances and he's just like hello neighbor. can i have an apple :)

I just read the latest iygabab chapter and I love it sm omg. In your notes you said that the Tim Danny and Damian conversation was the least chaotic version. Would you happen to still have a draft of the more chaotic versions you're willing to share? Because I am so curious.

I'm so glad you liked it! ^w^ I do still have some parts of it that I don't mind sharing. [click to see them!][also yes I do sometimes use the comic sans trick when I write. I'm so mad that it works 😔 haha]

Most of these snippets contain versions of how the magic works that I scrapped for various reasons; I went through a lot of different ways to explain how they ley lines/sigils worked and also why they stopped working (asymptotes, quantum particles, wave propagation). Asymptotes I threw out because I decided I didn't know enough about math; quantum particles I threw out because there's so much we still don't know about them and the things we do know aren't exactly common knowledge; wave propagation also seemed a little bit too specialized, and I got bored trying to write about it in a way that didn't read too much like a textbook.

As for the rest, I tossed out because it was too distracting or just a bit too antagonistic (Damian was originally much more...vocal about questioning everything Danny said, and Danny responded in kind with snark and by revealing less).

Here is a meme version of what the scene was like before I streamlined it:

Danny explaining ghost magic:

meanwhile, Tim and Damian:

Anyway, a little bit of chaos is fun, but if it hampers enjoyment in either the reading or the writing process, it stops being fun in my opinion, so I narrowed it down to something more digestible.

The idea I ended up going with was hidden right there all along: it was always supposed to look like the polar lights, so I decided I could make it work like the aurora borealis, too. It's still sciencey without being too esoteric, so everyone wins.

The moral of the story is every story needs a word graveyard where you can perform a bit of grave-robbing/necromancy from ideas you killed and revive them into something better :D

#answered asks #kiwwles #batburger au #iygabab #if you give a bat a burger #writing process #how to kill your darlings and then unkill them: a brief guide #I've killed more words than I've published honestly. but it's all miracle-gro for the finished piece so it's okay.

i cant find it but antony star replied to a fan on twitter asking if homelander was a cat or a dog person and he said 'Chinchilla'

all he said was 'Chinchilla' so idk what that implies

yes! i recall this. i think he just said that because he knows we all have homelander perpetually running on an exercise wheel in our brain

#honestly tho any kind of rodent works well considering HL's uhmmmm #history #poor lil lab rat meowmeow #what if i wrote a crack fic where homelander could suddenly and inexplicably understand all animals and bonded with some vought lab critter #some real insane dr dolittle nonsense #my brain is fried don't mind me #darling anon #homelander headcanons #ask and you shall receive

I have more brainrot but its on Al Haitham because uhh

30 pity for Al Haitham and I randomly got his weapon when pulling for Jade Spear. He must like me.

Imagine Al Haitham being an Abyssal Legacy, most likely from a knowledge capsule gone wrong at one point and he is stuck in his new form. I headcanon him as Autistic bc Im Autistic and my word is law /j.

But he absolutely DETESTES his heightned sense of hearing now. He used to be able to wear soundproof headphones with adjustable settings but now they cant even fit on his head. Of course he went straight to the traveller who took him straight to you, the alledged "abyssmal tamer". In reality you just attract them like a magnet unwarrented. you help Al Haitham adjust until he obtains his human form back and feed him snacks. Childe took some time getting used to the new Roommate but understood Al Haitham was here because he wanted help from you.

Eventually the problem was fixed and Al Haitham paid you handsomely for the caretaking but also your silence about the whole thing...nobody needs to know how much he loves cuddles and bed time stories.

Kaveh was not used to the silence so when he asked Al Haitham the only response was "I had a slight detour when it came to some of the knowledge capsules"

I have like no more brain juice Im sorry

aaaaa my dear i am so sorry for how long this took to answer ;-;;;;

i can just imagine you opening the door to see a sheepish Traveler, a confused Paimon, and a VERY irritated Abyss monster, and without a word you simply sigh and usher them all inside. Childe immediately approaches when you sit on the couch, curling up by your side and casting curious glances at the new Abyss creature in the house, who the Traveler tells you is called "Alhaitham". they ramble on and on about how they'd really appreciate it if you took him in, and how they'd make sure you'd be paid handsomely, and it's be really helpful of you to do, and you simply not idly before clearing your throat

"What does he think about it?"

Alhaitham blinks in surprise, tilting his head in consideration. you're quiet, perhaps purposefully so, always keeping your voice soft and light, especially when the other Abyss monster- Childe- was near you, and you seem to be kind enough, if a little tired. but does he really want to live with essentially two strangers until this whole situation is resolved?

Paimon yells in his ear, and Alhaitham decides that yes, yes he does

he acclimates fairly quickly to a new lifestyle in your home- for the most part, you and Childe leave him alone unless he needs you, and you take it upon yourself to provide as many books as you can find in your house. Childe is another variant of his kind- albeit permanently so- and occasionally chats with Alhaitham through a language of chirps and trills, even going so far as to share your lap (the best pillow ever) with him when thunderstorms are particularly loud. sometimes Alhaitham sees you working on some type of project, but whenever he clicks curiously you simply smile and put a finger to your lips

a few weeks later he finds a pair of soundproof headphones on his bed, specifically made for his new form

Alhaitham's really not clingy, he only seeks your touch when it's thundering outside or if there's something loud like fireworks, but occasionally he'll spot you and Childe together on the couch and silently sneak over to join you- which of course he'll NEVER admit when he turns back into a human. he does apologize for the trouble, but you just smile and wave, Childe standing behind you and chirping goodbye, saying that you're used to it and showing him a map back to Sumeru

and the moment he steps into the city he's bombarded by questions from his friends and colleagues, and he almost wants to turn right around and head back to the peace and quiet of your house

#genshin impact #childe #tartaglia #foul legacy #foul legacy childe #genshin tartagalia #genshin childe #genshin tartaglia #abyss alhaitham #chit chat #darling mutuals #YOU GOT HIMMMMMM :D ALHAITHAM AND YAOYAO IN ONE TEN PULL!!!! #and Yun Jin hi Yun Jin :D #i love love LOVE the concept of you being the “abyss tamer” but you really don't even try to tame them #they just keep showing up at your house and you keep taking them in and giving them a place to say #maybe it gets to the point where whenever you see traveler approaching you open the door and are like 'ok who is it this time' #childe's the only permanent resident because he's your moth bf but you make sure there's a guest room always available #if anyone calls you the abyssal tamer you just sigh like 'i'm not really they just keep appearing' #honestly some more experienced people are probably astounded that you're not dead yet from all the abyssal creatures you encounter #i just love this concept hehehehehe #short scenario #other's stuff #sanctuary au

That feeling when your sister bites you on the butt, because you won't stop being a butt 😔

#mod speaks #bug and bunny #I feel like this could be a reaction image honestly. Cracked me up. #A bit busy today but I'm going to try and get back into writing some prompts for you all tomorrow Darling ones #Thank you again for all the patience and support during this stressful time #babies say Mrrrp by the way.

So. Consider this.

We all know that Dream is pretty much touch-starved after sitting in a snow globe since 1916 and I'm definitely on board with this hc, but what if. What if he was touch-starved even earlier, by his own "making"? Like, what if his touch makes people sleepy if he doesn't try to reign it in? Like, you're holding his hand and your eyes are getting heavier and heavier, because he forgot he kind of does that?

Enter Hob Gadling.

Hob Gadling, who's a teacher and therefore he's swimming in tests and essays and other things because nobody in this damn country care about teachers being overworked and underpaid. But it's alright, he doesn't mind, he likes the responsibility and quiet pride that comes with teaching, with helping to shape young minds into something clever, something beautiful, something brilliant. And he really likes the kids he's teaching.

But he has so much paperwork and not enough hours in the day. So, Hob drinks way too much caffeinated beverages and pushes himself to make it done (he can't let his kids down, right?). He sips on a long cold earl grey and pushes himself past the point of tiredness and now, when he finally decided that some sleep might be good, he. can't. fucking. sleep. It doesn't seem like Dream being grumpy, it's his body that's suddenly not tired enough even if his mind is, and his thoughts can't stop racing, so he finds himself turning and turning and only getting more and more frustrated.

Dream finally notices. He enters the bedroom quietly, like a hundred other times and crawls into bed, because he's been tired too. And Hob's arms welcome him, like they always do, tenderly, with endless love. His body already relaxes, maybe from Dream's proximity or him not being as fully in control as he'd like to be. But Hob never cared about waves of drowsiness when they cuddled – there was nothing more pleasant than to take a nap in the arms of his lover.

Neither of them say anything, but when Dream lays a tender kiss on Hob's forehead, he knows, he'd meet him in The Dreaming soon.

#hob gadling #morpheus of the endless #the sandman #the sandman netflix #dream of the endless #dreamling #hob really could use a hug #so does dream #honestly this post is kind of a mess i just had one chaotic thought and went with it #all because i couldn't sleep and bed was getting terribly uncomfortable #headcanon #touch-starved dream #anyway I'm going to do a sensible thing and go to sleep while I'm actually sleepy #because pushing past your body's limitations is not nice at all and I'm doing it a lot because uni sucks #clean your sleep schedules darlings I'm begging you

It's going to be a long time until I return to making skins if at all, between my health, classwork, and other hobbies that also demand use of my hands (which are complainy bastards) however i do have multiple skin ideas kicking around in my brain and i'll be real with you, most of them just come back to the fact that i am Very Gay and want to present my beloved with Shiny Gifts

#theres an f pc skin i am Itching to make and idc if it turns out to be niche as hell yall it Needs to exist #pearl replaced by yarn ball. spinning wheel. lil basket of rolags next to it. hammock full of raw wool hanging from the wing #do you see my vision. do you see it #if i dont make this skin someday ill go insane i need it to exist #chatter tag #the tanning rack #wish so bad i could work on this rn ugh #with some minor miracles i honestly might say fuck it and do it next week anyway if things line up #i need to finish hand drawing floor plans for class first #one of my most beloved lil tokens is a granny square my darling made themself starting from raw wool all the way to finished thing #it is so so so special #and also so fuckin cool like can you believe ppl can just Do That

[latinokaeya-moving]

what do you guys think kaeyas horse would be called :-)

#x #gi posting #i told myself i would post abt smth else bc i’ve had kaeya on the brain too much but. Well. #i’m trying to figure out what i want from his horse. i Think i want crepus to have let kaeya pick her out to learn to ride her when he was #still relatively young #maybe 11ish? and i think diluc mustve obviously known how to ride beforehand #maybe he’s had his ‘own’ horse for a little longer too #anyways. all i know is that kaeyas is a mare (stil researching the breed. let me be) and she’s an absolute nightmare to handle in the modern #day. she only lets kaeya groom her and whatnot🥹 she wasn’t taken when varka left bc it honestly would’ve been a safety hazard to even try #i like to think she was more chill during his teen years but became nastier after. you know #also she is kaeya’s one blind spot i think it would be SOOOO funny if he’s convinced she’s still his gorgeous angel when everyone else #is just like kaeya she’s a MENACE #also he calls her darling when he talks to her. he’s such a horse girl in my heart

[beneaththegildedmoon]

Look, maybe if I had read it by itself and not interleaved with the other books im reading atm it would have fared better, but y'all had me convinced The Secret History was some modern classic and I will not forgive you for it

#i know babel was published long afterwards but i just keep reading sections and thinking “Babel did this so much better” #its giving Catcher in the Rye if the pov character was even more insufferable #its giving the Steven Moffat school of writing intelligent characters #and honestly worse than the piss-poor attempt at some kind of commentary is that its so fucking BORING #a solid 70% of the book is just richard & the gang talking inanely about classics with the air of people who have literally never read them #and the other 30% is stilted dialogue about how woefully difficult it is to cover up the murders they did #and i understand that their insufferability is part of the loosely-defined point but thats not made well enough to justify all this #your characters can be boring assholes or your plot can move at a snail's pace but for the love of all the gods dont do both #the only thing running through my head the whole time is how little investment i have in anything thats happening in this stupid book #how did *this* become the inciting incident for the dark academia aesthetic/subculture?? #how did this jumble of meandering run-on sentences masquerading as a novel become such a Tumblr darling that dozens of you recommended it?? #i feel cheated tbh #cant believe i wasted so much time on this but i genuinely believed it must get good at some point

[everysongineverykey]

the legends of localization book has reawakened my love for the nuances of translation and now i REALLY wanna take all the undertale dialogue and narration and translate it into french. for funsies

#i know i know french bad and all that. fair. but also: it's the only other language i know and am good enough at to feasibly do something #like this #dr could be fun too. i've got some ideas knocking around for that as well #the intricacies between characters of which would call frisk tu right off the bat and which would use vous #and the point in the game at which the latter characters would switch to vous. #mettaton's dialogue wouldn't be fun though. there are VERY few gender neutral terms of endearment #that serve as a good stand-in for 'darling' in french #very few gender-neutral terms in french at all honestly. but that's beside the point #maybe since french people are accustomed to a certain amount of english in their media #for example 'battle time' and 'game is over' in off and the like #i could just keep darling in places. it might be easier to have him use gendered terms of endearment #for people other than frisk. i'm thinking 'ma belle' for alphys. just affectionately. my grade 5 french teacher #who was from france #used to call me and the other girls in our class that affectionately #i mean. i wasn't a girl really. but you get it #ooh and i wonder what pronouns napstablook should use. i know there are community-made #nonbinary pronouns in french #such as ol and iel #they seem like an ol to me #i know many nby people aren't happy about iel since it's a mashup of il and elle #and therefore still built around a binary #and i totally get that but i don't think they're useless or actively harmful as pronouns! i'm sure there are some who like them and use #them #seam seems like an iel to me tbh #anyways this has been my short ramble about how i would go about localizing undertale into french. thank you very much for listening. bows
