elle and emmett from the legally blonde musical are one of those m/f couples that i think work best as a woman and a man purely because their relationship and how elle wouldn't stay at harvard for him because she has grown to want true respect & success more than a man she loves' approval/desire is like so important to the themes of the story and it's the whole point and it's part of what makes them so good. on the other hand emmett could be such a hot butch lesbian it's crazy i want to eat drywall when i think about emmett forrest but a butch lesbian BUT it simply would not improve and in fact would detract from the themes of the story. they have to be m/f

#chirps #tangentially. i think that a trans man casting for emmett would be really great for a lot of reasons #the scene of elle buying him really nice men's formalwear and finding clothes that he likes and feels good in... #'take it like a man' in general would have such another layer of meaning and love to it #anyway. there would be a really interesting dimension to their relationship in terms of elle embracing hyperfemininity & emmett being trans #and how their respective relationships with & presentations of gender impede them in the upper-class Professional world of harvard #man that'd be really cool... that would add soooo much to the show... #Emmett Forrest. You Must Be Transgender Now. #tbh thinking more. t4t f/m elle/emmett would be so incredible but also so fucking devastating for certain things. BUT THEY TRIUMPH!!!!! #<- all my tags aren't me trying for a 'best of both worlds' option wrt casting. just me thinking abt how the roles gender plays in this sho #and the ways different casting choices could shine light into different facets #the 2022 west end revival had them both as black which also is really great stuff i think... i wanna find a full boot for that

soooo… i did another comic with geo (who of course belongs to @8um8le)! it ending up stretching the page quite a bit, so the rest is under the cut o7

and geo proceeded to win every single round of pool that night, the end, thank you for reading this far 🙇

i'm still not super confident in writing for geo, but i had too much fun with this to care ehehe 🥰 this is the year of indulgence, everyone!

edit: i just realized that I PUT THE CICUITS ON THE WRONG ARM! it's supposed to be on my right not my left, oh i'm so mad 😭💔

#2024 #stellar city #sc geo #sc ash #self insert #self ship #this is skipping foward a while in time from the new years comic damn i'll get to the inbetween later maybe idk #timeline would be nye kiss > stalling > actual confession > dates that are either confined to the mall or over video call > this #i think if it's not related to an event the security guards dress in civilian clothes to cause less of a scene if possible #shoutout to the furnace robot i'm in love with her also i decided that under her faceplate is a flamethrower i think that'd be fun #also i know realistically geo has clothes that aren't suits BUT the idea popped in my head of the mall toons having to fight him on his out #agrees to not wear a nice suit jacket and leave his shirt untucked on the condition that he can keep his gloves #like that's a ridiculous scenario but i lost it laughing #would you believe me if i said that's what made me do all of this #also the 'i won't let them ruin this' is also like… oh sweetheart how do you know YOU won't be the one to ruin it? lmao that'd be fun #i totally gave up on that last panel ngl i couldn't think of what to put on the signs lmao #okay i've rambled more than enough! everyone have a beautiful day/night xoxoxo love you mwah

WHOOOOOOOOOOO I DID ITTTT!!!!!!!! YEAHHH!!!!!!!! >:DD

(greyscale and WIPs underneath the RambleTM

I had to repaint this since i got completely vibe checked (my app deleted itself when it crashed) and turns out all that was left was the reference sketch

she was just staring at me like that?? the absolute audacity of this girl??? Gaia I'm sorry I ever doubted you lmao what a way to go /j. it sucked but looking it back it was kind of impressive

anyways I love the 'viper vibes' piper has and I feel it's very underrated in her characterisation within the fandom, like, she has thr ptotential to be an assassin (burning maze as a good example) and can be compared to venomous snakes so, so easily considering she strikes with a tiny knife after bringing down the guard of her enemies with her charmspeak. so yes this was an excuse to let her be unhinged

here's the greyscale + lowkey shitty wip shots

the flats were very much a Trust The Process moment lol it looks awful I'm sobbing please ignore my lack of smart choices I was just a little angry when I restarted it all 💀

Idk, just thinkin'

#I think this is the first fandom i've been in where i genuinely enjoy some ships that aren't queer in any way #And lately it's been not only MLW ships between two cishets; but also like... #You know how certain dudebros will call a straight man gay for loving his girlfriend a certain way? #Some of the ships i've been into lately aren't even “gay” in that way #Like; i do enjoy bebe teaching kenny how to tie a ponytail and lending some of her clothes and all that #And pathetic kenny with athletic bebe who could beat him up and he'd thank her #But also; damn... sugar daddy kenny with bombshell bebe is looking pretty appealing too #And i haven't really felt this way about any ship since i learned that being gay is okay almost a decade ago #Idk what this means but. It's got me thinking

and see i understand this bc i have the uncropped version of it as my desktop background and every time i turn my laptop on i get stuck staring at matthias's thighs for five minutes straight

#river dipping #asks #fizzytoo #i had to give him shorts so i could post the edit to tumblr but normally when he's in bed with theo he doesn't wear clothes #so really he should be fully naked but alas....... #and i posted the edit without the text at some point i think... #''i think'' kdnjfgdjnh i honestly take a ton of screenshots of mattodore that i edit and then never upload on here so i'm not certain...... #but i feel like i remember nene making an edit of like... spongbob?? or someone chewing on it though so i do think i posted it here... #djgfngjnhknkjhn #also love my general refusal to care abt how tumblr fucks up images that aren't a certain size w/ certain dimensions bc like. #that edit doesn't look that good unless you fullscreen it jkfghnj but that's fine <3 it's for me <3

ok at least sword lady kinda gets her target group bc I do read fanfics etc

but, like

I still am not an amab person with erectile dysfunction and never will be, I don't need the Blaue Pille für Männer

I have gotten and occasionally get ads for birth control pulls, lube, and now about pregnancies and how to protect your child

getting some mixed signals here

and also really am not the target group

I freaking love it

#cylas speaks #tumblr merch does it right bc i am totally here for it (but also... money) #i just love how with ads on here i feel so. not stalked. like yes please show me ads that aren't tailored to me specifically. #some are more my vibe cause you can't eacape everything but i have since moved on from impulse buying cool clothes from sketchy stores

[ominouspositivity-or-else]

the sheer audacity of I, Joan, moves me to righteous rage and im not going to be over it for a long while

#saint joan of arc #i joan #jeanne d'arc #saint joan #she's my confirmation saint and to disrespect her in such a fashion #i am appalled and want to grab a sword and fight for her actually #i could talk for a long while about how insensitive and also kind of ironic it is that it's from the Globe Theatre #like lmao the Brits are trying to ruin her again #well they had SUCH great luck the first time #actually no she was a badass until the end and i love her so so much #like whoever says that women aren't women because they wear men's clothes can literally come face the wrath of my blade

[devilsskettle]

not to be dramatic but trying on those bedazzled shorts today made me realize that the scars on my legs are super not obvious as long as the shorts are long enough to cover just the one big one, especially since my hairy legs draw attention lol (leg hair is an accessory) so i am actually feeling really good about when i have a couple dollars i can start wearing shorts and shorter dresses now. maybe not this summer since autumn is coming up pretty fast but next spring

#the problem is that a lot of women's shorts and skirts and bathing suits aren't quite long enough #i would love to dress sluttier i just can't yet #anyway #i will be going back for both those clothing items once i have enough money. i don't care how ridiculous it is #eventually i will be able to wear them #the more i think about the pink dress the more i want it #it's stupid bright i love it i have no place where it would be normal to wear it #i don't think i have the shoes that would be perfect with it either i think they wouldn't fit in my suitcase coming home :( #i'll have to look #anyway. now if i can get the burn mark on my arm to fade..... #i kind of think it would be a cool scar but i don't want it to be so red forever #but i don't want to wear this stupid arm band forever though either #i bet by the time we're through long sleeve season it will look normal. it's been doing pretty good actually

[icannotgetoverbirds]

how a friend of mine taught me to create names for characters

Start with a word that's meaningful to the character. For this example, we'll use the word "smoke".

Open up Google translate and pick a language - Latin is a good, basic starting point, but anything with connections or an ease of what I like to call English-ifying (for the sake of this method, things like pinyin - the English text version of languages with non-english characters - although this can also be done for other languages, I assume) works best.

I'll start with Latin - the word I get is fumo. Now, I don't really like the vibes of that, so I'm going to take a stab at a few other translations to see what I can find.

(I do want to add - it's best to either understand the language's phonetics or have a pronunciation available if you want to be able to pronounce the character's name.)

Icelandic - Reykja (Ray-kee-ah)

Korean - Seumoki (Soo-moke-ee)*

Hindi - Dhuaan (Doo-ahn)

Swahili - Moshi (Mah-shee)

And with that, I have four different name bases to work with, all with different vibes. For instance, Moshi would probably be a good name for a pet - the -i ending reads as diminutive in English, making it perfect for a gray-furred cat. I might use that if I ever get a pet that it would fit - it's a sweet name.

Reykja reads as a fairly feminine name, and could work as a standalone - just be aware that it might read strangely to people who speak Icelandic. Dhuaan feels more gender-neutral - actually, it feels very neutral altogether.

That being said, you don't have to stop here. You can throw the names together in much the same way that someone used to create Lenjamin, and create entirely new names. In this endeavor, it usually helps to have gathered quite a few translations to work with.

Here, I take a bit of a leap in combining the -ki in Seumoki (which is a little on the nose alone) with the fu- in fumo, creating Kifu - considering that the alternative is Fuki, which. Is a little too close to Fucky for my comfort.

Here's the important part - and this step is often vital even when not combining the words - you have to translate it backwards.

*Those who know Korean might notice that Seumoki is a translation for "smokey", not "smoke". As someone who doesn't speak Korean, I noted that translating back the word I originally got for smoke, yeongi, gave me "performance". I'm not sure what's up with that, so I adjusted the form of the word to get a better translation - for all I know, the translation of yeongi as "smoke" is a bug.

Sometimes you'll find out that the word that gets translated back is. Less than desirable. Sometimes, however, you find a pleasant surprise.

Kifu, in the "Detect Language" setting of Google Translate, reads as the Swahili word for death.

So now I have a name for a badass character, probably someone that can easily be read as a ninja, whose name has roots in smoke and death.

One last note - do look up the name outside of Google Translate to check and see if it's already in use somewhere or if it has any problematicisms attached - Kifu seems to be a software related to the game Go, as well as a French collection of home decor. I think it's a funny little anecdote to add to the name; plus, maybe it can be used for further characterization. Maybe Kifu really likes interior design. Maybe their favorite game is Go.

And with that you have a name for a character and a little bit of bonus characterization to go along with it!

Don't forget to translate backwards, and don't forget to look it up, though. Also, if you're able to consult a dictionary in the language you're pulling from - or even a person who speaks the language - that's even better!

All of the names here are free to use, btw!

#problematicisms should be a word fight me #i wanna read a superhero fic abt kifu the smoke hero #they have the vibes of a side character who's usually the distraction/bait #because they escape easily #they'd probably be weak to water/humidity #and they'd have an arc about how annoying it is to be underestimated #maybe they're not even considered an actual superhero #maybe they just go out in civilian clothes and distract the villains #drawing power from the destruction wrought by the fires started from all the fighting #disappearing into thin air #getting in the villain's eyes and making it difficult for them to see #idk i have Thoughts abt this #i feel like Dhuaan would be either very short or very tall #with very dark skin or very pale skin #ig they're not as neutral as they are like. either end of the spectrum works but nowhere in between #reykja? I Would Die For Reykja #she seems like the badass mom friend with a deep voice #i hc that Reykja is a trans woman and Dhuaan is a trans he/they #i love how these aren't even characters yet and i'm already like. 'this is a people' #anyways have fun with this #go wild y'all #it does take some time to get used to #and some practice to get good at knowing when to stop and when to keep going #but i enjoy this

there are by far not enough dean w. and charlie b. queerplatonic friendship fics on ao3 but with newly acquired unlimited power (having a brand new ao3 account) comes unlimited un-responsibility (neglecting my original wip that i intend to earn a living with for fanfic)

#im not planning anything in particular but man am i tempted #i love how chaotic they are individually but together they somehow form a somewhat stable unity #and i need more of dean coming to terms with being bi with charlie's help and support #the scene where they go shopping for clothes for charlie and she points out that cas seems dreamy is EVERYTHING #that's straight (or not) out of a romantic comedy where the hot jock friend takes the nerd friend out for a make over #but they actually talk about the hot jock friend's feelings!!!! because he's repressed! and closeted! and scared of commitment! #like! that is THE buddy comedy of all times. i just love their friendship so much. dean needs to interact with more women (cont.) #who aren't mothers or whores or enemies. #writing process #spn #dean is bi

I'm going to choose to believe the visions come with a loop hole behind them that allows characters to tie the visions to their apparel or make jewelry with because why on earth did you open a new reality for me regarding how visions get attached to characters? I preferred when I was ignorant and this wasn't a problem inside my head that required all my braincells to work at maximum speed (joke) so I came up with a fake solution so I don't dwell on it anymore as this is an extremely valid concern presented. Thanks for always writing the most out of this world tags in your reblogs, your brain works in interesting ways (genuine)!

every day i wish mhy would give us more details about how visions work, where they come from, and like eighty other different questions; it is only natural that i inflict such curiosities on others every so often

#asks #Anonymous #also omg i'm being studied in a little jar thank you i love that #sometimes i wonder how far away a wielder can be before their vision stops working #like what if they forget it at home. do they have to be touching it? i don't think that's the case since most charas aren't #directly touching their visions; it's like dangling off of them at best or sitting on a few layers of clothes #and yet i get the sense that when others willingly relinquish or get their visions stolen as soon as it leaves their hands #they lose their powers n ambitions n stuff. so does it have something to do with intent? if so then whose intent? #at least we have an answer to 'do visions come in their casings or not' bc that was smth drove me nuts around this time last year

gerard way gender rant in the tags bc this is my blog so i get to talk abt what i want and it's been on my mind for a hot minute

#like... it just feels weird that ppl are taking them wearing a dress to mean that they've come out as transfem? #please tell me y'all haven't forgotten that clothes don't equal gender right. like a dress is not inherently Female #it just leaves a weird taste in my mouth. it would be 110% fine if he WAS transfem but it feels weird to just assume #he has talked abt how he relates to trans women and that he's struggled with gender and that's valid!! im not denying any of that!! #but they've talked about how they dislike applying labels to himself and i feel like im the only person who finds it weird that ppl are - #- so quick to jump to the nearest label the moment he wears something more gnc than he usually does #also like.. its one thing to say that they're probably not cis. which is very true #but another thing to be so adamant that he's a 100% binary trans woman that it comes off as more intrusive than anything #they probably aren't cis. they've struggled with gender and use he/they pronouns and use some typically feminine terms to refer to himself #and it's fine to look up to him when it comes to gender!! i admire the fact that he's so open about it and i find comfort in knowing that - #- in a way he's kinda like me!! they love their trans fans and don't rlly consider themselves cis but also hasn't said anything about - #- using the word trans to describe himself. and those things can coexist. there can be a gray area between cis and trans #idk man. it just feels weird. i dont like how ppl force labels onto someone who has made an effort to avoid labels. #are they probably queer? absolutely. im not denying that. is it still weird that folks are being oddly invasive about his gender? yeah. #we're allowed to talk about his relationship with gender/sexuality + how he's always been focused on making a welcome space for queer folks #but acting as if it's Written Fact to assume he's a binary trans person is just. weird. #to clarify: this isn't me being mad at anyone in particular. if you're one of the folks who talks abt them being transfem then whatever. #im too tired rn to have any kind of beef with y'all. in the end we all basically know nothing. the only one who understands his - #- relationship with gender is gerard themself. im no expert. im just some queer teenager on the internet. #ive just seen it being passed around and i needed to type this out for myself so i can figure out WHY it was making me uncomfortable #nobody's obligated to agree with me or to even pay attention to this. im rlly only writing it out for myself and myself only. #im keeping the reblogs turned off though bc i don't wanna start fights over it
