Soundwave Superior Back when I decided I wanted to get back into drawing transformers and interacting with the fandom, I decided to start off with attempting Soundwave. Now that it's been a bit over a year since then, I figured i'd be fun to do a redraw of the piece and compare how I'd draw it now :> Comparison under the cut

#transformers #maccadam #soundwave #g1 soundwave #tf fanart #laserbeak #redraw #idw transformers #g1 transformers #tf soundwave #g1 #idw #hystdraws #i'm glad i decided to get back involved with the fanbase #i dipped my toes in back when i first joined tumblr but decided then to just continue consuming transformers content on my own #the transformers franchise has been something i've loved since i was very small watching g1 episodes at my grandparents house #it holds a very special place for me #and while it is somewhat sad i only now really have started to actually engage with other fans i'm glad i have #anyway if you wanna talk to me feel free to dm or send me your discord handle etc etc

*shuffles sheepishly into the room six weeks later*

Well hello hello hello. I'm here. I'm queer. I'm covered in blood. Metaphorically speaking.

I had a very fanfiction moment where I took a guy I met at a stag do to a wedding (unrelated wedding) just as a friend and then we ended up near enough shacking up for three weeks. And now we've merrily gone our separate ways, richer for having known each other. And more sore.

I was tagged by @forabeatofadrum as ever. Thank you my darling. I was also tagged by @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion at some point. And also possibly @bitbybitwrites.

I have been doing a little bit of writing. I'm still working on my straight!Blaine fake dating story. Progress is slow but I'm just being chill about it.

~~~

"Is this why you were always so into butt stuff?" Holly demands after a moment.

Blaine freezes. Kurt makes a noise halfway between a laugh and a wheeze. Blaine wonders if it's possible to just spontaneously combust. Being questioned by his ex about his sexual proclivities in a busy cafe in front of his best friend/fake boyfriend as of five seconds ago. Perfect. He swallows noisily.

"Butt stuff has nothing to do with it," he says as sagely as he can manage.

Tagging whoever wants to do it! I'm out of the loop 😬

Alright Milevens, serious question here.

What music artists/ songs would Mike and El bond over. Like what songs would both of them like? Modern and 80s, I'm writing an AU and I am awful at deducing what music tastes characters would have except in specific cases (ie: it is revealed to me via a dream at two a.m. and I just roll with it because it is accurate)

#can't believe i'm dipping my toes back into the ST tumblr because I swore it off because the general atmosphere of bylers bullying milevens #not that all of us are perfect but their extreme bullying was making me not enjoy the ship anymore #so i've just been sticking to ao3 #but I can't ask questions there and this is serious because i have no clue #mileven #mileven fanfic #mike x eleven #mike x el

The pysical affection prompts -- reaching out with their hand without saying anything, wanting the other one to grab it + Mason and Barbie? Only if you like!

Working with vampires means working outside her comfort zone, Barbie has found. She prefers a warmly lit room with minimal clutter, plenty of pens, her organizer filled with fresh paper, and maybe some gentle, instrumental music. No other distractions. Nothing to do but focus on her work.

These days she finds herself tromping through the damp, dark, and cold woods more and more often. A cool breeze, a sign of the quickly approaching Autumn, bounds through the air, ruffling her ponytail and sliding down the back of her jacket. At least Mason shudders at the same moment she does.

Despite the chill in the air, it's clear he doesn't mind the rest of their mission tonight. He walks through the dirt and undergrowth like he barely notices, silent as the fog that lingers around them.

Together they step through a patch of moonlight breaking through the canopy of leaves above them. The silver light makes Mason glow, kissing his cheekbones, the bridge of his nose, his broad chest--

A short gasp escapes her as another damned root grabs at her not-yet-broken-in hiking boot. She stumbles, but manages to catch herself just fine. Irritation distracts her for the next stretch of their walk, until the back of Mason's hand brushes hers.

"Sorry," she says. It's happened a few times now, mostly due to the narrow path and her inability to see very well. Mason huffs, then his hand brushes hers again.

Oh. She squints at him in the dark, but he's looking dead ahead still. Not quite ignoring her, but certainly avoiding meeting her eye. Stretching her fingers out, she finds his hand. He turns his palm, allowing her to tangle their fingers together.

Letting Mason lead her like this makes the walk much easier. His thumb drawing over her first knuckle makes it much, much harder.

#darling speaks #ask meme #wayhaven #thank you for the ask! #I'm trying really hard to get out of a writing rut #mostly been reading #trying to dip my toes back into writing though #and these really help #twc #twc mason #barbara 'barbie' robertson

piggybacking off of @burntlikethesun's theory concerning this playing card with the 'D' in the corner which may stand for 'Doctor' with an alternative suggestion: could it be 'D'...for Dodo? 👀

she is wearing a similar red hat in the original Celestial Toymaker serial! 🔥

#forgive me i'm dipping my toe back into Doctor Who after nearly a decade away and all the teasing for this is making me crazy #if we're going wholly retro i wouldn't be at all surprised if Dodo is somehow involved...RIP to the late Jackie Lane #doctor who #the celestial toymaker #the toymaker #dodo chaplet #jackie lane #the doctor #david tennant #william hartnell #doctor who 60th anniversary #doctor who spoilers

kissing u on the mouth for the zayn tags

It needs to be said. Zayn is a powerhouse, he always has been. Even back during the band, I remember thinking that when they ended, it would be a tossup between him and Harry as to who would come out on top (the only reason Liam wasn't apart of that conversation is because he lacks the confidence and social charisma to carry on a sustainable solo career, as unfortunately indicated by... whatever he's doing now. Definitely not because he's lacking the vocal ability because I've always thought Liam had the most classically appealing voice). But anyway.

I remember when Pillow Talk came out and the Big Larries (you know the ones) were raking him over the coals for it, but in all actuality, that release did exactly what he wanted it to do: it set him apart and, like he said in that interview, it gave him the rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the first one out of the biggest band in the world. He could have chosen any genre in the world, but he chose R&B, and despite what anyone else might think, everyone else's solo career was built around Zayn's. Because what else were they going to do? Compete for space in the same genres? That would make the discrepancies between their abilities overwhelmingly obvious. So Zayn planted his flag in R&B, and then Harry/HS1 with soft rock, Niall/NH1 with singer-songwriter, and so forth. (Disclaimer: Obviously, it was fairly obvious which direction each 1D boy was going to go, especially in the later albums, and especially with MITAM, where they all had the most creative control over the lyrics, music, etc.)

But back to Zayn. We always talked about Louis's business sense and how he would be a powerhouse in the industry (I still believe that, if he settled down long enough to go corporate) but Zayn's right up there with him. The fact that, even back then, he could look at what was going on within and around their contract negotiations and know, "okay, this is a sinking ship" speaks to a level of profound intellect and insight into the working cogs of the industry itself.

I also find it interesting that he said they got sick of each other because that's the most honest thing I've ever heard any of them say about what happened to their relationship(s). I mean, living in each other's pockets it was bound to happen (and we all know that toward the end of it, there was, is, and will be animosity between him and Harry) but, I don't know. Lots to think about there when I consider how much they tried to play it up for the camera (especially during 2014/FOUR promo, which Zayn was completely fucking checked out of and we all knew, and especially during Orlando, I think it was (when Louis was wearing the green hoodie, like something went down during that time for sure). But yeah! hUh! lots to ponder, lots to ponder

#apparently I have a lot of thoughts about this sorry lol #zanye magic #i feel like i'm slowly coming out of hibernation (dipping my toe into one dee) now that he's back #(she says even though she knows he's going to disappear again) #seed <333 #fandom: 1d

Hellcheer has been creeping its way into my brain and setting up shop and naturally I had to twist it into a teachers!AU.

So it's music teacher Eddie, of course, and Kindy teacher Chrissy. Eddie is a kind of floating subject specialist who comes into every class and does a lesson or two a week, and he loves Chrissy's class and her littlies so much, and her kids adore him, even though he calls them gremlins and imps to their faces.

Some of the other staff in the school look down on Eddie, cause he doesnt exactly dress professionally and his methods are kinda unorthodox. But Chrissy always has a smile for him because even if she was a little wary when she first saw him, she soon ended up giggling at one of the silly jokes he told her class, and she saw how gentle he was with one of her kids who was struggling, and she very quickly realised what a sweetheart he is.

And, of course, Eddie is absolutely besotted with her! She is so good and gentle and kind, and just walking into her room feels like being bathed in positivity and sunshine, and Eddie absolutely laps it up. He hangs around in her classroom whenever he has spare time in the morning and helps her put up her displays when he sees her struggling to reach and eventually, when they've become more comfortable around each other, she scrambles up on his back and stands on his shoulders and then lets out a little giggle and says, "Oh didn't you know? I was a cheerleader back in high school!" and Eddie is floored.

And one morning Eddie comes in even earlier than usual, and he's walking past Chrissy's classroom when he hears her singing along to Eternal Flame playing on the crackly little radio on her desk. And it's not the kind of music that he'd normally be into, but her voice is so light and lilting, and he can't help but hover in the doorway absolutely smitten, watching her in the soft light of the morning sun as she puts out paints on a table, and she's humming some parts and definitely muddling up the lyrics in others, but Eddie thinks that her version sounds even more beautiful than the original.

And, of course, she catches him watching and blushes and giggles all embarrassed and says it's one of her favourite songs. So when it comes to the lesson for her kids later that day? Well Eddie settles himself down, right in the midst of the kids all sitting criss-cross applesauce on their brightly coloured rug, and he starts strumming the opening to Eternal Flame on his acoustic guitar before he stops and asks if any of the kids know it and, of course they don't. So he says, "Well how about I sing it for you, then? And all you and Miss Cunningham need to do is listen. Close your eyes and listen. And if you think you know it, you can sing along."

And the kids do close their eyes (well, most of them!) but Chrissy doesn't. Because she's gazing right at Eddie, looking happier than he's ever seen her.

(And yes, of course there's also background Harringrove cause it's me and I'm weak for teacher Steve! He's in first grade or maybe a parallel Kindy class, while Billy teaches in the inclusion unit for the kids with behavioural issues, and Billy and Eddie carpool most days and spend the whole journey talking about their crushes on their sunshine ones.)

#hellcheer #i'm dipping my toes in here! #there is a teeny bit of harringrove too #but just a sprinkle #i am always soft for teacher AUs #and yes this ends with a school show where chrissy class does a little musical showcase #and eddie helps put it all together #and he turns up on the night of the performance wearing a slightly ill-fitting suit and with his hair tied back #and he sits in the front row with a bouquet of flowers for chrissy #and when he goes to give them to her‚ she tugs him on stage too and makes him take a bow

comic concept from popular fandom that loads of people are interested in: this does not bring joy

comic concept from far less popular fandom that WAY fewer people are interested in: this one brings joy?????

why, brain. every time.

#hyperfixations are a bitch #but tbh it has done my brain SO. Much. Good. To get out of the nar*to fandom lmaoooooooo #peace and love to all my friends there - I am still on the peripheries but the sheer amount of drahma and arguing over ridiculous shit #just made me feel like I was courting constant burnout #along with being a relatively 'popular blog' in that fandom it was just wayyyyy too much with school + work + disability #and I felt guilty that I couldn't keep up with everyone's expectations and wants for me #which I know was entirely in my head!! I know people weren't disappointed when I couldn't create constantly #but burnout + brain issues is a bitch #anyway I love u narto show and I love u vast majority of the narto fandom <3 I may dip toes back in one day #In other words: I am happy and I am surviving as much as a disabled bitch can #I just wish I could guide my hyperfixations to where they'd be most popular! #still popularity was a curse on my mental health so my current b*tjokes obsession is truly a blessing #rambles #nobody take this personally challenge; I'm literally just spitballing about my Feelings not attacking ur fandom xxx
