Fishing Interlude

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan sizhui #lan jingyi #ONE HUNDERED (+6 bonus) COMICS BABY!!!! WE MADE IT! #There's still at least 200 more to go at the rate I'm going but still! Triple digits for a comic project feels worth celebrating. #I'm no stranger to setting myself on projects but this is certainly the most adventurous and long-term one I've undertaken. #The aim was to be done by the end of September (whoops (I also took a few breaks to post other stuff)) But I'm still having fun! #Thank you all so much for joining me on this journey! I have a celebration announcement tomorrow! #Sorry this one doesn't really feel like a 'comic 100'. It's sandwiched between two comics that were supposed to be 'comic 100'... #I love how excited Jingyi is to be in the garden. And I will never miss an opportunity to have them fish. #Slowly...I am setting up my punchline with all this. I promise it's leading somewhere. #Lan Sizhui didn't fit into the frame for panel 3 so I like to think he dove in after a fish #Afterall that's were lan zhan is in this comic. Under the water. Hunting. LSZ is just following what his mentor taught him. #Sorry I broke Jingyi's characterization for this punchline. He's one of the biggest wangxian shippers in canon. But fishing comes first.

Sidekick Can’t Talk

TW: mention of removal of vocal chords, implied wounds (I clearly have no idea how to tag stuff please let me know if I should add anything or if I did it incorrectly)

The alley was dark and Villain wanted nothing more than to be home. They shoved their hands more deeply into their coat pockets and hoped they wouldn’t get frostbite. Their thoughts were on coffee and ice packs for their bruised ribs. They could thank Hero for the pain. And the limp. 

Another day, another fight that had ended in Villain’s humiliation. This time they had barely escaped. They were so deep in their thoughts, they walked right past a huddled figure without thinking twice about it. 

What stopped them was the sound of muffled crying. 

Villain turned on their heel. They peered into the shadows, walking over to the shape crouched in the darkness. 

They recognized them instantly. If only by their mask. The real question was what was Hero’s Sidekick doing on the streets. Villain stood over them awkwardly. 

Sidekick didn’t look up, but kept their face in their arms, shoulders shaking. 

Villain shrugged. This was not their problem. They turned to leave, working their jaw in a tight circle, and then turned back. They unbuttoned their jacket and draped it over Sidekick. 

Sidekick’s gaze flickered up. 

Villain tried to look nonchalant. It was rather hard when they were freezing. They were sure their hands were going to be frostbitten by the time they got home. “You good there?” 

Sidekick looked at them strangely and Villain suddenly felt distinctly uncomfortable. Sidekick looked– they looked terrified. They gestured for Villain to leave, yanking off the jacket and trying to give it back. 

“Hey, hey, no it's okay. You can have it.” Villain smiled, dropping down to Sidekick’s eye level. “Really, I don’t want it.” 

Sidekick shook their head frantically, extending the jacket again. 

Villain refused to take it. Their eyes narrowed. Something was off. Sidekick had never talked much, but something was off. 

“What are you doing out here?” 

Sidekick faltered, their gaze dropping. They seemed to curl in on themselves. 

Villain reached out, placing a hand on Sidekick’s shoulder. “Sidekick?” 

Sidekick jerked away at the touch and as they pulled back, Villain saw the scars. The scars on Sidekick's throat. The kind of scars they would have if someone cut out their vocal chords. 

Villain froze for the second time that night, blood rushing to their head. “You– you can’t talk.” 

Sidekick shuddered. They shook their head. 

Villain had the irrepressible urge to punch the wall. Which was stupid. They had committed worse crimes than this. And yet. And yet this made them angrier than they had even been. They lowered their voice, trying to sound calm. “Was it Hero?” 

Sidekick stared straight ahead. They were visibly trembling.

Villain’s voice darkened. “Can you stand? We’re going to get you somewhere safe, and then I’m going to have a little chat with Hero.”

Hi this is a vent post! Continue scrolling if you'd rather not see that

#Giving time... #Still more time... #Wouldn't want to plague any previews #Maybe another filler. Just for some fun #Is this enough? #It certainly is now #Alright start: #I'm so bored. I am so incredibly; intrinsically; entirely bored. I have been taught the same thing for four years straight #'It's only four years!' that's literally a quarter of my lifetime right there. My formative years are being spent stressed and in a state / #/of constant self-loathing #I was watching a YT video and the phrase 'attention-starved STEM major' came up and I was like. Yea #What am I even working towards? The hope that my version of capitalist hell isn't as bad as everyone else's? I'm just so sick of not / #/having a stable future what with politics and normal working people becoming more and more oppressed #I don't want to work and that's not because I'm lazy. It's because my brain is recognising that there is no reward anymore #I used to have such a little spark in Yr7. I remember having things to say and wanting to share everything I've done #I still do that now; sure I do. I don't enjoy it though #I thought I liked drawing but I'm realising that all I really like is the attention. I COULD draw things I like drawing... but then I / #/ don't get attention which my mind then classifies as zero reward #I'm very tired of doing things for no credit; reward; or validation. This is becoming a theme #Then I wonder what I'm doing wrong. What part of the algorithm am I not hitting. Then I realise that I'm just not marketable in a way #God. I'm seriously breaking rn. It's not even only because of GCSEs #It's just a culmination of doing all these things to be told that I am unworthy of Having as a result. It doesn't matter if I'm smart; my / #/ parents still don't own their house and can't afford to pay for heating most days #Literally what am I doing this for #And then I realise that all of this is ALSO attention-seeking behaviour! I'm my own worst problem; I recognise exactly what's wrong with / #/ myself but the body wants what it wants. And what it wants is validation that I'm not going to get in this life #Hi guys! Maybe don't interact. That could fix me #Wean me off of needing virtual numbers just to feel something. Jesus #I can't even be happy with the things that I make for myself. Because I make nothing for myself anymore #It's just a whole sad existence of an expected 12hr+ of school every day until I get a job I guess. Then it's 12hr+ of job every day until

me desiring to be a smol menace on the dash vs the fear of accidentally being mean instead of funny: a constant battle.

#· ooc » entranced by navy burnout silk velvet #i'm actually doing drafts and just.... not posting/queuing them one by one as finished #we're trying speed writing and then editing after for a change #also i went to church for the first time since my trip today to a church i've visited three times that i actually really like #why am i mentioning it? because the wife of the singles bible study talked to me after and more or less said the church really pushes #membership... which i personally don't believe in because usually you have to swear you believe all the core tenets of said church's belief #and i generally don't and told her so. she told me i won't find a perfect church (i know... i'm fine with that) and that it is important t #be a member of a church and thus participate (which i can do w/o) and so i'll just have to defer to the leaders of the one i like the most. #me externally: *all polite* #me internally: *screaming crying OH NO THIS ISN'T HOW THIS WORKS MA'AM THAT ISN'T BIBLICAL AT ALL* #and i certainly wouldn't join that one because THEY believe in the rapture... which i MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT. they're fine otherwise so #if true‚ disappointing. but this is why i'm so done with corporate churches. actual new testament more egalitarian structure PLEASE.

Just snarled, "That is NOT an incorrect word choice, bite me," at Word's automatic grammar check, so yeah, edits of MMD are going great.

(I'm only on here now because my human editor (note to self: turn OFF the darn automatic grammar check) left me some comments for changes that absolutely should be made but I don't wannaaaaa so I'm having to take a little break while I convince myself to just DO IT)

#the great magic most deadly rewrite #so close #I might not get the paperback out by the november 1st release date #depends on how well proofing and what not goes with ingramspark #but the ebook should almost certainly be ready by then #I am actually almost through with the edits #which is why making major changes now is so difficult #I'm so close to the finish line! I just want to be done! #but I also want it to be done right #so here I go #back at it

[meownotgood]

I wanted to get much further than I actually did today, but this is still good

#once again it's because I had to spend most of the day rewriting sections I already did #but now they are much better and more coherent #so I am proud #I can smell the 30k words....... can smell it #at this point the fic will certainly be well over 30k #maybe it will even get close to 40k but I doubt it will breach that point #I'm almost done with the content I wanted to include in the first chapter #but ohhhh god the second chapter is a hefty monster #the smutty bits won't be too difficult to finish #but when I look back on my outline and see just how much stuff I planned for the ending..... I........ #ugggh.... urrk...... aaachjmkkk.... #that's the sound of me having a heart attack. #you will be fed soon okay I don't know when but just.... hang tight..... #I'm gonna try to get a preview posted sometime this week but I have to work for the next five days so can't make any promises..... #BUT I'LL TRY!!!!!!

i don’t care that rhaenyra’s oldest are illegitimate not bc i’m a targ stan who thinks she can do no wrong but because legitimacy is a social construct that does nothing more than enforce the patriarchy and class system, and rhaenyra having kids out of wedlock with a man she is consenting to sex with is fine, actually, and if you’re hung up on that it is my opinion that you are clinging to the rules of propriety and patriarchy when analyzing her because you think she should be punished for having sex outside marriage and not like, all the things she actually does that are morally wrong, which is like, textbook misogyny.

“but the lords” so the thing is i don’t give a shit if the lords think she’s a slut. i understand the time period bc not only am i not stupid, i also understand that it is still a big issue in many communities for mothers to have children out of wedlock. i am saying i do not care because it’s a fake issue the way “brienne can’t really be a knight because she’s a woman” and “sansa can’t rule winterfell when she has true born younger brothers” or whatever else. legitimacy is a tool of the patriarchy, of colonialism irl, of classism, and the argument “rhaenyra is a bad person for having children out of wedlock when she knew that would put them in danger” is stupid bc legitimacy doesn’t fucking matter and neither does marriage.

#valyrianscrolls #it’s a classist and misogynistic argument i need this fandom to be less heterosexual and realize sex and love that exist outside of marriage #aren’t dirty!!!!!! those kids are not dirty for being harwin’s and she’s not a bad person for it eitherrrr. #rhaenyra targaryen #me shit talking people in the tags #like people will say ‘cersei took it too far by’ i actually don’t care that she cheated on her abusive husband when there’s a million other #bad things she’s done that she feels no shame for. women are not bad people for cheating even if they’re royal!!! #‘cersei is had for killing robert’ like if joe biden got murdered by jill and it turned out he’d spent their whole marriage abusing her #i would say ‘yeah girl go’ #like the ‘taking it too far’ is her bad decisions when in power. her passing her bastards off as her husbands is certainly scandalous but in #the Specific case of ‘cersei coped with the humiliations heaped on her by defying robert the best way she could’ man whatever #the problem with joffrey is his personality ya know. #but like that is very much robert’s son also. it’s just. every day i am forged to see the Most Ridiculous takes. why. #that one lady who hit her husband’s penis off was innocent actually. he shouldn’t have been doing things that made her need to bite his peen

i could not specify what exactly draws me to twilight princess so much but its the zelda game ive replayed more than any other. i cant get enough of it. what the hell did they put in this game

#idk if i would have the most *time* spent playing it bc well. ive spent hundreds of hours in botw #but ive only done 2 playthroughs of botw so tp still has more playthroughs at least #AND LIKE. i can certainly explain various things i like about tp #but why am i drawn towards it constantly. at any time im wanting to replay it again even though i have so many games i need to beat #its one of the few games i just dont really tire of #twilight princess is very special to me ♡ #if they bring midna back someday im gonna go feral #tloz #twilight princess #whenever i see anything from tp i get such a huge urge to pick it up again #i would say id maybe pick it up soon but since sonic and pokemon came out recently and im prob gonna get more games on christmas #it might be a few months before i do that. maybe #ouh maybe ill do a playthrough of it as a celebration before totk comes out #since totk comes out just a few days before my birthday :D

the peanut brain strikes again of “not everyone has done that much stuff in this game dipshit”

#I forget it most often with eureka bc most of my time I spent in eureka is a haze #there are certainly fun parts of story to it. it’s all just spread out over the vast stretch of near mindless level grinding #and fucking Pagos. fuck pagos #it’s so pretty and for what! she’s got like next to no plot! #but I forge how difficult it really is to get dyeable lvl 70 job gear bc people don’t have the eureka levels #the ways in which they’ve done dyeable job gear in 14 is wild #like Stormblood is all in eureka. ShB is tokens from an EX trial. EW is do these role quests #I don’t remember ARR or HW tbh #point being I Forget About Stuff #owen plays ffxiv #me remembering I am at least kinda competent at this game: no way

4s4ki cleared entire discographies with this instrumental breakdown in Silent alone

#.mp4 #4s4ki #ik I sound like a K-poppie bragging about their fave contributing to a song by inserting a singular hi-hat #BUT reminder that she is her very own songwriter and producer and a majority of her songs (incl. this one) are done fully solo 😁 #she’s already successful and well-known in electronic/hyperpop music circles in Japan but she deserves recognition and acclaim EVERYWHERE. #can people PLEASE start including her in the ‘greatest producers of this generation’ discourse bc she most certainly is on that list! #I am so annoying about her but this is my page so bear with it 😗

It's fucked up that the sober population straight up ignores how a huge portion of addicts have chronic illnesses

#was thinking about my stepdad and his plethora of health issues and how they shape his life #and then i thought about sewercentipede and Then i thought about the huge population of bipolar people who are alcoholics #and then after all that i thought about a convo i had with a straight edge friend who was like 'using illegal drugs Should result in jail #time because they could just Not do those drugs. they do it just for fun' #like i understand where he is coming from but i literally think he is wrong af. #i think the people who do drugs (esp hard drugs) recreationally are outnumbered 2 to 1 by people who #are self medicating with illegal drugs. i think most people totally ignore how chronic illnesses #and severe mental illnesses can hurt you on a profound level and because they dont know about that suffering #they do not understand the urge to numb that pain. and people have no sympathy for what they dont understand #lately im so bothered by people who share their opinions with me about complicated issues but clearly havent ever done any research on them #everyone thinks their opinion is so smart and special and no one is studying #especially not studying human behavior. most people think that socialization and political topics are a fucking joke #with 0 relevance to their personal lives. like no one is ever going to be truly informed about All the things #and i know i certainly am not but it is so annoying to speak with people who make no effort at all to learn about a subject #before they try and tell people the business about it. like that guy. his only understanding of drug use #comes from his own relationship to alcohol. but he was not an alcoholic he was just a perv who decided to go christian #like its so egotistical to assume that your experience and emotions can apply to everyone and yet he is not the only guy i know #who has no interest in any perspective other than his own but thinks his perspective is well informed #im sure women piss me off with this behavior too its just that atm i can only think of examples of men acting like this

Also of note? Graz will actually speak quite openly and freely about how fucked up its culture is and all the various aspects ( most of the aspects ) that need to change.

That does not, however, mean that it's going to allow you to project those things onto it, bc it personally cut ties with its own people decades ago, lives a vastly different life from everyone but the outliers ( which does, by the way, include actively working to improve the lives of humanoids and anyone else who isn't a demon ), has never been any of the things associated with traditional illithids, and quite frankly was a victim of its own society from birth anyway.

It will understand if you're cautious bc of what it is. It will share in your anger at the majority who do actively cause a great deal of harm and have for generations. But if you take the time to understand that it has species and diet in common with the rest of its kind and almost nothing else and still choose violence? It's not going to give you grace. It's going to make dinner out of you, and you're not going to get a warning first.

#I am more powerful than I am damaged and I will rise from any abyss you try to drown me in // Grazilaxx headcanon. #despite Ome having been based on Graz #Graz is NOT the nice and sweet squid Ome is #it can be reasonable and empathetic to what others have gone through #but it's not going to put up with not being given that same understanding in return #it hasn't fought to be where it is and it certainly hasn't put its life health sanity and physical appearance on the line #just to still keep being called a monster and have its life threatened over it #bc for those who don't know? Graz helped Drizzt kill Demogorgon for exactly no reason beyond trying to help end the demon crisis #( and for reference: Demogorgon is the most powerful demon and called the prince of demons for it ) #don't get me wrong it absolutely does NOT want accolades or even recognition for what it's done #it just wants to be treated like a person and not threatened at every turn

Man the more I learn about WoW lore the more I’m pissed Varian is dead. That dude single handedly carried my respect for the Alliance on his back, he was a badass, a good dad, and a kickass king. In this house Varian is still alive and currently looking for his son. Again.

#shiny speaks #they coulda just had a like son like father moment and made him get kidnapped or smth in legion man #there was still a LOT more ya could’ve done with him #I still don’t know a lot about him. I’m learning about his past outside the game bc.. yknow. horde main ⬆️ #be funny as hell if my s/i met him tho #hello mr built like a brick wall no I am most certainly not a dragon! (not technically a lie) #I also do not bully your son like a 7th grader! (that one is a lie) #Hi Adri 👋 tell ur husband I said ‘hi’

Hey y’all I know pretty much nothing about...dang it I don’t know what the branch of science is called. Archaeology but for animals? Paleontology but not for dinosaurs??? Biology but for things long extinct???? anyway to make a long post short: I want to make a like beanie baby version of a sabre tooth tiger, possibly a sabre tooth tiger cub. Can you please share any sources you know of that show what sabre tooth tigers are believed to have looked like? 

#I should know this I am friends with an implausible number of archaeologists for someone who is not an archaeologist #turns out the reason I've been kinda out of it this last week might not be that the new manufacturer of my meds made them in a shape #that cannot split evenly and resulted in a slightly different dosage every time #it might be that I am mildly allergic to the inactive ingredients that manufacturer uses #so. that's fun. I have the old version of meds back and am doing MUCH better #but still not back to 100% #and now I get to call a pharmacy again and ask if there's any way for me to get a list of the inactive ingredients #so I can start narrowing down which thing is messing me up lol #before I have any tests done that these meds affect I am supposed to be off them for at least a full day #preferably two weeks. So I'm assuming I'll be most of the way better tomorrow #and fully back to my normal within two weeks #probably sooner! probably only the active ingredient lasts that long #who knows though. certainly not me

got my hair cut today (haven't had it cut since early april) and it always looks good when a stylist blow drys it but it's always sorta a toss up of if it'll look good with my normal styling (which is basically nothing lol) so the jury's out until tomorrow BUT

right now i really like it 🥺 i got a bunch cut off and i feel so much better 🥺

#personal #i love getting my hair cut but hate paying for it L O L #also i'm lazy about actually booking appointments #so i go longer between haircuts than i probably should but i don't really care #also i went to a new stylist today and she was really nice!! #always makes me feel good when they tell me my hair is healthy hahaha #she also said she thought i was like 19 which is not even close and i know she was probably just being nice but I'LL TAKE IT LOLOLOL #and i got a lil bit of a special hair mask done on a whim and my hair feels so softttttt #most of the time stylists at this salon take like...30-45 minutes for my appointments but this one ended up lasting a solid hour and a half #which i didn't even realize bc it didn't feel like an hour and a half #and my hair certainly doesn't LOOK like it took an hour and a half #but i didn't have anything else going on and it was nice to just sorta sit there with no expectations and chill #i didn't sleep as much as i would've liked to last night though and i am incredibly tired #and yet i agreed to go hang out with friends tomorrow #so i suppose i should attempt some amount of sleep now fjeiao;fe help me
