a wee update

hi friends! long time no chat - way too long!

just wanted to jump on let you guys know firstly i'm alive haha and that i hope to start writing again. long story short, the last few months were busy + mental health and of course writers block got in the way. the reason it took me so long to come back was that i convinced myself not to post until i was back into the writing, but alas its been almost 8 months and i haven't written since. but i do want to start again!

please let me know if anyone still has interest in my jamie series or jamie content in general (maybe some more little distractions pieces) <3

in the meantime, i simply had to get back on today to let you know something major - i met phil this past weekend! it was the quickest photo op experience of my life, but in those 10 seconds i got to see him, hug him and give him a friendship bracelet. he was so sweet and seeing/hearing him irl was nuts. i think if i had more time to talk to him i would have passed out because my anxiety was anxiety-ing. but maybe next time. for now please enjoy this pic with my face covered for now haha

thank you all again for reading my stories last year - hope to share more soon xo meg

Blacked out in front of my tablet and woke up with sketches of my Touchstarved mc + Kuras my beloved. woops

#I found out dr. kuras is 6'6 I said hold on lemme get a stool so I can climb this man #touchstarved #touchstarved game #touchstarved kuras #kuras #sleepyscribble #oc.emma #my mc is meant to be a self insert but also like. I wanted to come up w a design and character arc and everything jkvkvk #so I ended up basing her on my personality/looks but taking her into a direction that would fit the game #she's like. me but 'characterized' and a bit exaggerated for the sake of being a character yk #the way she turned out is that she's basically a friendly happy go lucky mage who laughs at her own misery but hides #a deep layer of self loathing underneath all that bc of her curse #having been cursed all her life she believes she's a monster and the sunny personality is a way for her to 'make up for it' #but at the same time she feels like a farse. like she's only luring ppl in to an inevitable demise #and she thinks she's selfish bc despite knowing the danger she poses she still goes out there and puts herself among ppl #bc she craves human connection. even tho she feels guilty for 'indulging' in it #anyway I love the cursed mc concept in this game <3 it's been really interesting to think abt how that would affect someone #also I kept her physical features looking pretty much like mine #bc I wanted to draw myself in a cute way. teehee #but the clothing I was basically thinking like. early game simple clothing that she didn't rlly pick for herself #and maybe later I can have an updated design w something she would actually pick for herself

[shibuiking]

#first pic is an updated/edited ver of smth older to match design changes #and orikan... i know it makes sense for necrontyr to be fully covered up but hes such a petty contrarian that i think it feels right- #for him to throw traditional covered up clothing out of the window after he sees that his generation will not die. #idk. was thinking about it a lot i have more to say but its probably not interesting #40k #orikan the diviner #skitarii #iron hands #oc: pallarex #oc: mu-15 #necrons #i have so much to say abt orikan man... so much to think abt so much to say. i love him. hes so... #also i just finished reading severed and it ruined my whole day i cant focus on anything noone told me it was gay FOR REAL #and its the most touching and heartwrenching love story ive ever read in my life and maybe one of my fav stories ive read full stop #fucking necrons man its too much. theyre so heartbreaking. #i will draw obyron sometime... i wanted to today but i slept all yesterday and a lot of today so im too sleepy to do anything except be sad #(over having read severed) #oc

having the hc that minato is ace is incredibly funny sometimes when you think about how ryoji is oh so very bi because it's like. "ah. death stole my ability to be attracted to people," in the same way that ryoji stole minato's eye color and energy level. like wow, thanks ryoji, you just keep finding things to steal from minato!

#persona 3 spoilers #minato arisato #hc and au nonsense #lizzy speaks #happy international asexuality day to my fellow aces out there i hope you know that you are loved!!! 🎊🎉🥳 #i like viewing minato with the lens of him being gay / ace. esp bc it stems from my own experiences so it's fun to look at- #him from that perspective even if that's not what was intended by atlus y'know? #and im sure others have other hcs from me that are informed by their own life experiences and i think that's great ^_^ #something that i found interesting while playing FES was how. stilted? minato's animations felt when hugging the girls #you could definitely go with the perspective that it's a graphical limitation or they didn't have time to polish the animations #and that's def true!! but sometimes i see the hug @ yakushima beach + the other hugs and then i compare it to the sou/yo hug in p4 #and there's like... a noticeable difference to me with how intimate and close together the hugs are... #that said i do know that the animations for reload are updated and the hugs are much more natural (good on them tbh!) #the other thing is (pensive sigh). the way you couldn't reject any of the girls when doing their social links in FES #objectively speaking i'm glad that they did away with that and i like how the rejections were handled in reload. it feels naturally written #but also a part of me enjoyed looking at the “hey atlus what the FUCK” moment and thought of how to interpret it differently #specifically with the idea of minato having like.. little to no autonomy and kind of going along with the relationship #it kind of reminded me of myself tbh with like going along with the rship without considering what you want bc #it's what others want or expect out of you... LOL. i dont think atlus intended for someone to interpret it this way but #eh i think that's the fun part of hcs and looking at characters with certain lenses! #regardless of how you perceive minato i do think there's something to be said about him being the kind of guy who molds himself- #into someone that is needed. not wanted. but needed. important distinction here. #the one caveat my brain runs into when im like “minato is ace!” is when i remember thanatos exists and i go #“you know what these ideas can exist simultaneously” GKLHFHDFHD when in doubt schrodinger's headcanons #anyway that's all i've had this thought in my brain in awhile and haven't sat down to share it properly until now 👍 #have an excellent weekend everyone !!! lizzy loves you all lets all nurture our inner yippee!!! 🥺💙

#hello little stars #i've missed you so #wee update on me: i'm actually doing quite well at the moment #things were a little iffy there for a minute but i'm in a very healthy mental space right now #i feel more like myself than i have in a long time #which is a very welcome thing #unfortunately during the process of obtaining said healthy mental state my shameless hyperfixation abruptly broke into pieces #it isn't that i don't still have love for the show - i do - i just don't feel consumed by it anymore #it doesn't occupy the same space in my brain that it once did #instead that space has been opened up to new interests and ideas and hobbies and yes even the occasional new blorbo #and i will not lie to y'all - it feels good #as to the future of this account i think it's going to become less of a fandom blog and more of a whatever-i-feel-like-posting blog #a scrapbook of my interests where i put stickers of shows and movies i like on the page and scribble my most incoherent thoughts #a personal blog if you will #i'm very grateful for the last three years of my life and all the things + people this show brought to me #but it just isn't IT for me anymore - y'know? #anyway #if you've read this far - i love you #i've missed you #come say hi #i promise i don't bite #also a URL change will probably be coming in the near future so if you're like um who the HELL is that?! it's probably me #blessed be my babies #ily very much

(just some thoughts about things, I think its rather long so you don't have to read ❤️❤️)

#(sorry for the sudden post but hmmm) #(I cant tell if I am just not into bsd as much as other people) #(or if its simply bc Im just not as opinionated) #(the current story arc has gotten so far and like woah that I don't feel like super excited or shocked whenever there's a new update) #(either that or seeing everyones complaints about everything kinda dampens the excitement) #(tbh I really enjoyed up to like the guild arc but once it got into the whole like fyodor business my brain stopped) #(its interesting but maybe I just like happy endings too much haha) #(I dont talk to anyone in the fandom but I feel like it is very negative( #(hence the reason why I dont really interact outside of posting these drawings every once in a while) #(I like slice of life stuff I suppose and all this is too much haha I much prefer bsd wan honestly) #(itd probably be easier to just ignore the fandom or so) #(but its a bit difficult to do when I wanna see cool art and cool ideas too) #(I dont know) #(maybe bc I dont remember much from the manga but I dont feel as negative as others) #(sorry this was really long hahaha) #(I think I just dont want to feel alone again) #(though I dont have any mutuals so I guess I kinda already am haha) #(🌟🌟 it makes me happy if even one person likes my drawings or ideas) #(makes me feel like I can do it) #(and not feel so negative about something I quite enjoy!)

Is/Was tumblr giving anyone else a notification when someone you followed posted for the first time in a while? Like this:

It was doing that for me for a couple weeks, although now it seems to have stopped. A short-lived experiment? Or perhaps no one has posted after a long enough lag. (It seems unlikely to have been a bug, but I don't know enough about coding so maybe?)

It was sort of an interesting idea, to make sure I didn't miss someone I hadn't seen in a while, but on the whole I'm glad it's gone/hope it goes. I'd like my notifications to be all about me, thank you 👸🏻The dashboard is the place for other people. Otherwise it gets confusing.

Anyway, I haven't posted in a while (12 days), so perhaps this post will show up in your notifications!

#that wasn't the only reason I haven't posted much lately #but it did add a little additional pressure for my first post back #i felt self conscious that everyone would get a notification about whatever random dumb shit i was thinking about #but now if lots of people see this at least it answers my question #i haven't been watching BL recently or indeed any shows or movies at all #been trying to focus a lot on school #which i have been! it's been the intellectually most difficult semester so far #so the focusing has been decent recently but the actual results haven't been great #especially since i started the semester not at all on top of things #but it means that I haven't had anything to say about bl #and I've been feeling weird about posting random stuff about my life or what I'm learning #like people aren't interested #and bad about not responding to various things I've been tagged in #i even have some drafts for those i just need to finish. but it hasn't been a priority #anyways here's the update no one asked for. i may or may not post more in the near future. #tmblr life #gillianthecat's life #rambling in the tags

alright, angels; as much as i like talking about The Boys, i am getting a little bit burnt out. :/ so, while i recuperate from ravesey, if you would like to ask me a question about any of the Side Characters you're interested in, i'd love nothing more!!! <333 literally any of them. adults, adolescents, animals, etc. you can ask me about ones that haven't been written in yet and i can tell you where i might cobble them in. again, though, all of this is subject to change while i world build, but i am excited about a lot of ideas and concepts i've figured out thus far!

also, please know that i love you all very much. <333

thank you for being kind to me yesterday. c':

-uncle nina

#nina speaks #i love my sons more than life itself #and i know that's what most of you want to read about #but i need a little nuance #i also really like the side characters #i'm actually really proud of a lot of the side characters i built and the lore i do have centered around them #i will say give me a second on craig i'm trying to rm-ify him #but anyone else go ahead i will try and write nicely and slowly too that bebe ask felt sort of rushed by me i didn't like it #but literally go ahead and hang out on the boards if you want! #but also totally feel free to send nothing! #or more questions about any of my boys #love you all very much #MWAH MWAH MWAAAAAAH #okay last thing again pls note there are some gaps #but they are gaps that will keep you interested #and i'll keep you updated on as i/we learn more #idk i think its cute that you guys are with me #as i write and plan a fanfic/make a world <3 ilysm #i gotta add e on there #sometimes i think abt boards for the adults but idk #might be too cluttered and messy

y'all who actually have partners,, what is a text ice breaker to start conversation? im really bad at it 😭

it feels important to note that when we do talk, the conversation flows great we have a nice rapport and complimentary senses of humors it's just starting the conversation that is the problem i think we are both just painfully shy 😔 (and maybe traumatized .)

#all my friends have offered is 'send a meme' which just gets me a heart react which is nice and all but i wanna SPEAK TO THEM. #and ive also done ~little random updates of my day~ which also works but on my days off i dont DO anything so i cant be like . #hey i rotted in bed all day what did you do #i feel like he's interested but shy ?? i guess ?? or maybe unsure if i feel the same way so he doesnt rly initiate #he did the other day just send me a photo of him working as a little life update which i took as a good sign :) and it sparked a short conv #i just dont know what to talk about or rather i wanna talk about literally everything but i dont wanna be annoyingggg #i dont know whats annoying and what isnt i guess is the main issue #he just got back from a 2 week work trip thing like working nonstop and normally we'd both be free tuesdays (tmrw) but since he JUST got #back today i figured it would be rude and/or seem desperate or clingy of me to ask if he wanted to hang this week #am i just crazy ?? oftentimes yes #it's also 10pm on a monday so i couldnt ask now anyway BUT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO JUST TALK #BUT I DONT WANNA BE ANNOYING all ive ever done in the past is annoy ppl or come off too 'weird' by just trying to get to know them #AND I DONT WANNA MESS UP THIS TIME CAUSE I THINK I DO GENUINELY LIKE THIS GUY IVE JUST NEVER BEEN IN THIS POSITIONNNNN #ITS NEVER FELT REAL #OK BYE

We should bring back that thing some websites used to do where whenever you made a post you could also list a bunch of random details alongside it, like the mood you’re currently feeling while writing the post, what you’re eating, music you’re currently listening to, what device you’re writing the post on, some random emoji, your personal motto at the moment, etc. It’s like additional character lore 

#I think you can do this with facebook still like you can put a current mood 'feeling XYZ' BUT you have to choose from their list #of premade emotions. You can't just type your own. #and you can't add a bunch of random extra details for no reason #Also DID websites actually do this? I might just be thinking of one or two. specifically I htink on deviant art (which I rarely ever #used except for one small period when I was like 14 yrs old and thought it would be Professional to post art there lol) #when you made a journal post type of thing I think you could put information like this. And I THINK you could maybe do something similar on #the journals on gaiaonline?? maybe also myspace but I remember so little about mysapce or if they even have a journal #type function. I MISS websites randomly having journals as like..a thing #like you had your normal post feed and then also a diary type place. Kind of like how poeple used to use facebook Notes different #from just a normal facebook post. #If I ever actually do anything successful in my life and somehow defeat the mental illness and physical issues and Situational Barriers #and actually accomplish like.. anything enough to be a professional with their own website (like how famous authors will have #their own websites where they post updates that are NOT social media like a facebook but. their own custom website or whatever) #then I'l make sure that in the code it's set up so whenever I make a post I can add these options ghhbjhb #Imagine some official really imporant release of a movie or game or something and then alongside it it's just like #Feeling: Evil 🤭 Eating: Shredded cheddar cheese Drinking: water out of an old coffee tin #(I had to google some online place to copy and paste emojis ghbhjb i have no idea how they work ) #Though also it wouldn't be interesting for me because I have a limited emotional range and also love routine so I'd basically always #feel neutral and just be cycling through the same 5 foods/drinks/music/etc. at all times hjbjjh #I also always wear the same clothes like a cartoon character #BUT it'd be interesting to see about other poeple I guess lol

if i started a substack. would anyone subscribe to it

#i am not doing nanowrimo but i AM nearly finished with the first draft of my novel it is very exciting etc etc. however #the more i look into traditional publishing the more i am discovering that they basically want u to be a micro-internet celebrity #like before u even have confirmation that your book Will be published. they want u to have an online audience (ie…tiktok) #well unfortunately tumblr is all i have (and it doesn’t count 😠) but an online newsletter Would count 👀 #anyway i think until i finish the book & do real publishing stuff it would just be small life updates/photos/poetry snippets. and book stuff #but sound off in the replies ig. would anyone be interested 👀 #🧃

Have you completely abandoned writing?

what happened to... hello? how are you? my name is?

#kidding lmao it's all good #it's cool that people are still interested in my works! I appreciate it very much #but I'm in a very different place in my life and I don't feel as compelled to create fanworks as I once did #sometimes I do feel guilty about leaving series unfinished or abandoning works but #at the end of the day I am a human being #with a very fickle attention span 🤠 #I do still want to finish the series (serieses?) I started but at this point it would be for my own creative fulfillment #and not due to having an audience or feeling like it's been 'too long' since updates #if people still find joy from my writing I think that's awesome #I myself have sort of moved on though #cheers! #lari speaks #anon

My mind is so strange and interesting and I don’t know how to take it. After LimLife I wanted to write something about Jimmy for the drabble saga. My mind immediately went “ok, but it has to be a ship,” and wouldn’t let me write anything else.

I guess I’m just too much of a shipper, lol.

#all speaks #as an interesting tidbit #that was my first AU that Flower Ranchers in it. #I was thinking about other ships to add it in #and my mind went to Team Ranchers #but I just couldn’t ignore that Jimmy and Scott got married in 3rd Life #so I decided to have both #and then I fell hard into the Flower Ranchers ship #lol #Update: I have bo returned to this AU #So there might be more for it
