#i was stuck in one today

[panstarry]

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

#pan draws #pan designs #zine #risograph #i'm not gonna lie i don't love how this one turned out OTL and i think the wording is not done but well... a deadline is a deadline #i'll probably touch it up and rewrite it in the future but who's to say.. i need to stew on how to articulate my feelings coherently #anyway my transness is so closely tied to my experience as a person of color. the current political climate is so fucking ass to exist in #but more than anything i am pissed off at white punks & leftists & trans people that refuse to have meaningful solidarity with us. #so yeah anyway. i was stuck on this one forever and only really got anywhere with it after attending 2 punk noise shows in a row where they #actually used their fucking platform to do like. anything. our struggles are connected you need to careeeee YOU HAVE TO CARE........ ok bye #tdov #trans day of visibility #<- i was sitting on uploading this for a while so the stars kind of aligned for it to be today huh.... happy tdov i love you

might be worth noting that tubbo got lore today because he made it canon he warped back from the boat.

i think this was confusing bc he wasn't sure initially how to play it (he is not a lore guy by trade we all know this), and waffled back and forth with it (with fun bits like "it's tuesday" or "it's a time rift"), but he definitely did make it canon.

he has the story: the boat didn't leave, he had his warpstone. he knew they would just steal him back, like they did the first time.

he has the reason: he desperately needed to see sunny before he left; couldn't sit idly by

and he made it clear that's what he wants to have happened. he told his chat to stop "-rp point"-ing him about it multiple times bc he's trying to make it canon (and told fit the same when he came back post-ghost bit).

he also asked sunny's admin whether she wanted their interactions to be filler or canon and she chose canon

plus he had a canon interaction with forever explaining it and asking him to watch over his daughter

and he and sunny built things and interacted with each other based specifically off the info he was kidnapped, that he will have to go, and that they both knew it was coming

so while you may have to ignore or recontextualize some of the goofier interactions when he initially came back (phil/etoiles/fit stuff esp), tubbo did come back, the code attack did happen, it's already been fit into the lore, and i don't doubt sunny is going to tell fit about it this week!!

#qsmp #qsmp tubbo #i think he is largely laying low out of fear of being taken back early also bc sunny doesn't want him far from home #uhh restless djing while she sleeps aside #it's obviously a little awkward but i think it's easy enough to imagine why pac (guy who responds so well to being kidnapped historically) #might be too stuck in his own head to even think of leaving the boat #etoiles i can speak to less but like a lot of things have to be explained away #bc it's a minecraft server and people aren't always on tubbo is one of the only people who'd even be on today usually anyway #but regardless tubbo made it clear what he wants his canon to be and the admins followed suit #i for one am excited for fit resistance lore with the codes acting up and not code-tamer etoiles to help #also what will he do with sunny he can't just leave her to do his tasks #and she typically stays on way longer than ramon usually does esp since he came bacl #but this is another post entirely i just want to see the man of secrets be kindergarten cop'd #that and vibrating about purg 2

it's so funny to me that caleb and veth really did just trade off the job of intensely pining for the other at like the halfway point of the campaign. like, imo, nott in the early days did not behave in any real romantic or even romance-adjacent ways toward him--I imagine it would be very hard to even think in that way when you hate what you look like so much, have such low self-esteem, and are actively lying about your entire past, including a secret husband. caleb, on the other hand, is kind of diving directly back into the sort of relationship he had with astrid and eadwulf. very close, very intimate, we-huddled-for-warmth-together-and-oops-it-led-to-something-else sort of thing. he is the one who expresses that he's fine with it if people think he and nott are romantically together when they're talking to keg. nott is the one who pushes back on that. he calls her his life partner. unknowingly, he compares his feelings for nott to nott's feelings for yeza. his behavior only really starts to change after he finds out about veth's husband because suddenly all of that other stuff is rendered inappropriate in retrospect. but even then he compliments her to yeza over dinner in the most awkward of ways, he admits to being jealous, he calls yeza "a lucky man" to have her, he stares at veth and yeza closed bedroom door for far too long, he creates an entire arcane tower with room for her family just so she'll stay with him. in general, his behavior is not, um, totally and completely platonic about it, you know?

like, veth's feelings for caleb are canonical and therefore indisputable in their existence, but caleb in the early days was not that dissimilar to how veth was acting near the end of the campaign. it really paints a picture of "right person, wrong time" in the way things just didn't line up for them. or, as veth would say: "in another world, maybe"

#i am actually thinking about this because my widobrave 2 poll had so many moments on it that caleb initiated #and i often see it remarked that people think widobrave is entirely one-sided and caleb only treats her as platonic or familial #which. my real answer is that it's just complicated and i don't think he'd ever admit to any romantic feelings being there #but i also. uh. i wouldn't call it platonic or familial. there is some holy fourth dimension that this relationship exists in istg #impossible to explain but it is NOT entirely platonic nor all that familial imo as it stands in canon #this is like. ONE piece of the meta I was trying to figure out how to phrase earlier today. bottom line of it was: #I don't think the caleb/veth romance is entirely one-sided but also it is so so complicated #their relationship changes SO many times. SO much. that's why it's so frustrating that fandom is stuck in episode 13 re: their dynamic #SO MUCH ABOUT THE DYNAMIC CHANGES AFTER EPISODE 13 #even sam reigel himself on talks said there was no reason their relationship wouldn't change/evolve after that #and it did change! it really really did! #widobrave #the mighty nein #caleb widogast #veth brenatto #critical role #inaugurating the new url with a widobrave post. as it should be

Can we talk about how in all the 2011 Post-Qualifying pics, Jense and Seb are always gravitating towards each other, and then Mark/Lewis are just🧍‍♂️

#theyre like this in 2009 as well tbh....the australia ones...omg #but 2011 stuck out to me just bcs theyre so often together #the hungary one(2nd on left) is by far the funniest to me like why is lewis standing so far away 😭 #the sebmarkson ones its a little less obvious cause theyre an ot3 yknow 🥰 #but seb imo always is leaning towards jense #but those 3 are mostly pretty close but it feels like lewis always was standing specifically apart 😭 #(maybe one day ill make a 2009 version but i cant spoil myself!) #also im telling you sebson would be so popular if they existed now #lestappen who? these are *my* emotional support rivals 🤭🤭🤭 #only have eyes for each other genuinely!!!!! #like look at any quali/parc ferme/podium/champagne pic theyre always focused on each other #seriously they would pop off in today's fandom #jenson always with the proprietary arm curled over seb's shoulder #ALSO NOT PICTURED #all the other pics from these but its specifically them cropped and like being silly with each other and looking at each other lovingly #also yes Grace if you see this this post *is* because im reading Solar Flare again #f1 #formula 1 #sebson #jenson button #sebastian vettel #mark webber #lewis hamilton

one of the most obviously sad and frustrating things about wei wuxian is the way in which everyone assumes the worst of him All Of The Time. whilst this clearly encompasses classist rich dicks like jin zixun and the people who make up evil myths about the yiling patriarch, even ostensibly virtuous characters like nie mingjue and lan xichen are constantly suspicious of him. jiang cheng is a classic example - despite loving his brother, he finds it easier to believe that he's lazy or out of control than interrogate his motives. even love of my life lan wangji, prior to wwx's resurrection, doesn't stop to consider that wwx might have good reasons for not retaking the sword path beyond a greed for power so out of character, it's laughable. having said all of that:

SHOUTOUT TO JIANG YANLI WHO NOT ONLY LOVED HER BROTHER DEEPLY, BUT FIERCELY AND DEMONSTRABLY. SHE *ALWAYS* ASSUMED THE BEST OF HIM AND DEFENDED HIM. GRIEF NEVER BLINDED HER. IRONICALLY, CONSIDERING HER BUDGET MR-DARCY-ASS HUSBAND, THE WORD ""PREJUDICE"" DID NOT EXIST IN HER VOCABULARY. JIANG YANLI SAW THE SOCIAL HORRORS OF THE CULTIVATION WORLD AND SAID NOT TODAY AND NEVER MY A-XIAN. I MISS HER. JYL FOR CHIEF CULTIVATOR 623 BC.

#not asoiaf today whoops #jiang yanli has so many good traits #but in a novel where wwx is the protaganist this one has always stuck out to me immensely #she has that reader's clarity #she knows our boy #and she is the most uncorrupted by social pressures of the sects #i love and miss her #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #the untamed #cql #lan wangji #mdzs #mdzs meta #the untamed meta #wwx #jyl

there’s something so bittersweet and lovely about fanfic, at it’s core. it’s so impermeable, because it’s so individual. fics don’t get finished. fics get lost because they were typed out and sent to friends, in the 70s, and somewhere along the way someone packed it up in a cardboard box and their kids shuffled it to the attic. websites go down. archives get built, but then people lose faith in the story or the canon or the creator and delete them. you read it at like, 3am, and can’t remember the title months later when you look for it again.

the tiktok these comments are from was lamenting about the loss of a favourite fic—it (the tiktok) had 85k+ likes, and over 700 comments, mostly similar to these. people talking about downloading fics to read on a tablet only for them to disappear the next day. using the wayback machine and combing through results, just to find something they loved. i think it’s sweet because it’s so human—how easily we love something, and how easily we lose it. i used to print out my favourite fics, as a kid—i still have a binder of them, buried under yearbooks and the old journals i kept during those topsy turvy preteen years. i could tell you the overarching plot to a Cardcaptor Sakura fantasy AU i read (and loved; it became my personality for months afterwards) but i can’t remember how it ended, or if it even did. i finally broke down and signed up for an account on AO3 specifically to bookmark an old, old fic that i had read somewhere else, years and years and years ago and found again on AO3 only because i accidentally stumbled on the author here on tumblr (i had only found the fic in the first place all those years ago because of a playlist). i used the same shade of lipstick for years purely because a fic i really liked had the main character apply it (it was a limited edition one at the time; i bought my first one from a ebay seller in the UK at double the retail price, lmao) while the love interest watched them, but i can’t remember the name of it, only how it made me feel (and how, for years afterwards, i would wear that shade whenever i felt like the day had something promising to it).

one of the first anon’s i ever got, in the early days of this tumblr, was someone who asked me if it was okay if they downloaded surrender—and of course it was. of course it is. there was a point, during the final stretch when i was trying to write the last chapter, that i almost lost the entirety of what i had written for that fic—and i mean, it was on AO3 by that stage so it would’ve only set me back a chapter or so, but it goes to show how fragile things can be. how sometimes fics only last in tiny ways—because of the unfinished PDF file someone downloads. The patchy memory of someone’s who’s jumbling it and three other fics together. Because someone wore the same shade of lipstick you mentioned, off-hand, for years afterwards.

(this is a love letter to the silent readers; the silent savers. the lurkers. fandom and the internet at large is made of lurkers (eighty-five thousand likes. seven hundred comments). people who saved fics and waybacked them and will reread them, even uncompleted. telling each other we did a good job, that we liked this or we liked that is wonderful, and fun, and a great (and important) way to build a community and has also given me my current friends—but sometimes something you make will matter and live on in a way you will never, ever know. and it’s just how it is. it’s part of the fun and it’s part of the charm. it’s just how we work as people.)

#floating rubbish island: mermaid spam #shall i do a part two for the opposite end of the spectrum? the readers who tell you as they’re rereading? #the ones that come back to point out details that have stuck with them? #sometimes i worry i don’t give enough to those of us in the community who do that #today i got a comment on surrender and it made my whole day—which otherwise would’ve been spent being miserable trying to sweat out my fever #people are so sweet and i feel so empty-handed for them sometimes #because time is so valuable—people don’t *have* to comment #people don’t *have* to note the tiny details #i share these fics because i *want* to—that is a choice i make knowing that maybe people won’t like it or respond to it #no one asks me to spend the time i do on these fics and so no one owes me for it #which makes the time someone *does* spend commenting or tagging or saying hello even more precious

digital study of a scene from the film eerie tales/unheimliche geschichten (1919) :-)

#artwork #conrad veidt #this was one of the first connie films i watched so i am still very fond of it :) i have thought about it so often since watching it #for some reason. i didnt think it was that brilliant (although he was obviously) but it has stuck with me. the first part especially #anyway i meant to do more studies like this but then i got possessed by the spirit of linocut and have been doing that instead but this #one has been sitting around for a while so i thought i may as well post it #i have another lino print which i finished today to show you all too :D but you can have this one in the meantime. guy who is so so scared #i hope you are all doing well i love you i will be back soon (to answer asks especially. i am a slow beaft and inconstant)
