#maplestory #satsuhart #angelic buster #tear #sorry i have to go off about it bc i dont wnna make a separate post about it #im so angry about every single aspect of the new design and art holy shit #simplified all her patterns but added more colours to her main outfit resulting in a rly shitty colour palette #even got rid of her cute peach pink hair with yellow gradient for some bullshit pink/blue hair dye #the bows are drawn SO badly they look so cheap and the added colour looks terrible . her og outfit never even had pink #and dont even get me started on the weapon and the addition of hearts to her design HOLY SHIT im so mad #like before it very clearly had a fantasy 'idol... who Fights' vibe but now she just looks like any low budget jp idol #fkin ruined the look of her soul shooter i used to like the design so much now it looks like a knockoff kids toy that would shoot bubbles #WITH A HEART >!>?!??!?! im gonna kill something #im also so mad theyve fully rounded out her eyes and ADDED HEARTS?!?!?! like i really liked how she had sharp kinda dragony pupils #but thats all gone now SNZZ i can only hope they at least make adjustments to her outfit before release bc wow its terrible! #drawing her again after all these years made me re appreciate how nice her outfit is altho its not like i ever stopped thinking that. #it was always nice #shes cute without being overbearing about it but now its dialed up to 11 i hate it i hate it #everytime maple remasters an illust i lose a few years of my life like seriously they havent put out any nice remaster visuals since 2013 #(RED explorers and they werent even visual remasters in the general sense) #like WAH at this rate im gonna be so pissed off when they get to heroes remaster. theyre gonna butcher my boy and my girl and my #ok im stopping for now but rly. hope ppl are loud enough about their contempt for this bc it didnt work enough for explorers remaster #NOTMYANGELICBUSTER

Hello, first of all, I want to give you big hug. It is hard time to be in this fandom with all the storm going on with Biu right now. But I wanted to tell you this: I absolutely love your fic If you had something to lose. It is one of my favourite stories and I eagerly await each new update. I was lucky to discover it (I got to it later) and it was two whole amazing weeks where I could just read this story and do nothing else. I basically breathed this fic and I am so grateful to you. You gave me two amazing weeks of happiness and great story and I want to thank you for that. Please, never stop writing. You are so talented and this fic is so great. You have no idea how happy you made me with this fic and I am looking forward to next chapter. Don't let this drama in fandom get to you (I am crushed too), we went through it before. It is mostly you, the fic writers who make the whole fandom more enjoyable and great.

🫂 thank you, nonnie, I needed to hear all of this 🥺

Honestly I think I'm just... at the risk of sounding a bit vain, I miss when people would actually hype me up for IYHSTL. There are still people who leave me lovely comments or reblog/retweet my updates and get excited but it's so much less than it used to be. And I'm so grateful for those people because obviously the fandom is in shambles, so I'm glad people are still reading/enjoying at all.

But it's hard not to notice the big difference between the way people used to interact with me, and the way they do now. I sometimes feel a little... taken for granted? Because I update so regularly. It sometimes feels like people don't find my updates exciting anymore, which is fine, people don't owe me continuing to read/hype/whatever. It just kind of feels shitty, sometimes, you know?

Writing a long story is really hard. It's hard to keep up motivation for weeks upon weeks, and keep writing even when things are hard or I struggle with the way the story is progressing. And one of the things that always helped was seeing enthusiasm from people, seeing the excitement when I updated. And now that I don't have as much of that, it's... harder. Not impossible. Just harder.

I've always written my stories for myself, first, and this is no different. I want to finish IYHSTL because it's a good story and I've had a wonderful ending in mind from the day I started it. It's just getting harder to write it with everything going on, especially because I'm not as excited as I was, and it doesn't seem like other people are either 🤷

So that's part of why I wrote that ramble last night... I just need to readjust and remember that the story is more for me than other people. I'll be fine, I was just feeling kind of down.

Thank you again for the note, and don't think poorly of me for being mopey about getting less comments than I used to 😭

#raelle writing speaks #idk dude i just miss the excitement #it was always nice #to know people were looking forward to updates #and would tell me their theories and their reactions

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

#star trek #Vulcans #Humans #not based on a specific thing #but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’ #who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field? #like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq #and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first #would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate #and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for #and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance #the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times #they were just dicks #and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it. #it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible #you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier #but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks. #that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on #and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post #but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks #and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be #replaced #hated that couple #if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us #(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀) #liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people #that no one else wanted to be friends with #I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone #this got long sorry 😭

Learning about the Doctor Who specials' expanded budget: oh no, what if they overuse CGI to look more 'professional' and high-budget?

The first scene of the Doctor Who Special:

#:D #[ID: The Fourteenth Doctor looking tired in front of a green screen of space \End ID] #it's still just as cheesy and silly as it was during 10's run #doctor who #fourteenth doctor #the image looks like something a fan would make tbh #the only very jarring part of the budget was how nice quality the camera was throughout the episode #I kind of wish it was a little less crisp because it made everything look a bit off in a way #but I also haven't watched 13's run so maybe it's not as stark of a jump as it felt for me #10 especially always felt very fuzzy and warm in terms of camera quality #tenth doctor #the star beast #twilight-zoned-out #doctor who spoilers #dw #dw spoilers

we need to bring back inviting people over for cake and coffee. my grandma used to do that all the time and I think it's a lost art

#we would get a nice coffee cake or pie or streusel #and then make a big batch of coffee #and she and my cousins and other family would just sit around chitchatting #and my grandma always said to call it 'cake and coffee' #so the guests didn't expect dinner #it was like code for be gone before dinner

You are safe. The winds of fate blow you to the warmest of hearths in the most cordial of inns. The touch of the sun comforts your flesh, but never burns it.

Using Lo-fi Study Nights at Seacaster Manor as a way to boost his popularity and help further the goals of his friends while also refusing to acknowledge that the actual purpose is to never have to be alone in that big empty house is PEAK Fabian behavior. Can anyone hear me?? Lou I am in your WALLS

#fhjy #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #fabian seacaster #fabian aramais seacaster #d20 #d20 fantasy high #dimension 20 #fhjy fabian #it's the way that he kept inviting the bad kids over to study and hang out #it's the way he kept them there after the party #it's the way he invited the freshman not because he's nice but because they're the ones who will most reliably show up #lou is always doing something with Fabian that everyone else either doesn't see or won't acknowledge and it drives me insane

#artists on tumblr #back from my trip to finland #it was nice to see my family #and my one friend #but it feels good to be back #it's super hot here #and i dont know if any of my friends have time for me #but i just like this place a lot #even if i'm just walking outside on these same streets #that i always walk #i feel a weird sense of peace being in another country #far away from everyone and everything i grew up with

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me

#It’s just so different #even though it’s public it still feels secret and safe. i feel comfy sharing a lot more on here than I do in my actual day to day life lol #in my head I’m also just speaking to myself 90% of the time which helps #if a friend off tumblr saw my thoughts I’d feel so weird ab it #esp bc they might get the vagueposting about certain situations and tell mutual friends #no thank u. this is for me. I’m not about to start censoring my thoughts bc someone I know knows my tumblr #u guys literally saw me have LIVE BREAKDOWNS #meanwhile I’ll have the worst fucking day in history and tell no one about it. I’m already cripplingly private but way more so in real life #this is basically a low stress journaling outlet for me. it’s so important for me to maintain the separation #like this is actually my diary & has been so handy for letting out emotions / articulating thoughts / staying on track !! #& I’ve met so many kind people on here who actually get me. which is so hard to find irl bc I’m surrounded by pre-med gunners/overachievers #who are by standard not very good w emotion & can be competitive/judgmental. or at least it’s hard for me to be vulnerable in front of them #and I’m part of that crowd so I reserve my emotions only to a handful of very close friends #it’s nice to hop on here and express negative emotions!! or positive emotions!! just whatever I want and it’s low stress and people get me #I don’t have to worry about judgment or competitiveness etc etc #like everyone on here is so kind & nice & understanding. & just a breath of fresh air from the types I run w. it’s just nice to have this #so idk that’s why I think I’ll always be strict about keeping the worlds separate. it just works #p

Alastor may dislike new age tech but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his sources lol

#hazbin hotel #alastor #velvette #hazbin hotel velvette #hazbin hotel alastor #digital fanart #digital art #fanart #art #my art #I just like the idea of Velvette keeping him in the loop with online drama and new age lingo #you can hardly manipulate people effectively if you can't fucking understand half of their slang after all #Velvette likes that he can keep up with her wit and is just as much of a judgy gossip as she is - Alastor finds her brash attitude amusing #he also has sources she doesn't so it's always nice to exchange information every once in a while over some tea/coffee #plus it's funny to hang out with your roommie's main source of hateboners bc he's actually pretty chill

#cw: blood #cw: beheading #cw:death #cw: gore #cw: burning alive #so nice of ash to have prepared a barbequed buffet ready for snow when she arrives #if it wasn't made clear enough ash did die in that fire #she just did it while taking down as many people as she could in the process. and now shes a smoke monster #and yes. the fire powers do imply she's not quite human. but shes human enough to fall in love and die and thats enough. #im sorry this comic took me so long. i had about a week where i was very depressed and nothing got done. #thank you for your patience #and as always #thank you for reading #comic art #sapphic art #lgbt #horror #somehow not as scary as snow but ash is still fearsome in her own way #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

some good news!! the spanish state's ministry of equality has finally passed one of the most progressive trans laws on the planet, shielded free and universal access to abortion and banned conversion therapy and genital surgery for intersex babies, among a lot of other feminist policies. the minister of equality irene montero gave a speech thanking spain's lgtb and trans associations for helping her draft these legislations. couldn't be more proud!!

#spain #trans #ill always prioritize queer&trans revolution over reformism but man. man these are good news #these are gonna make people's life so much more comfortable #i was lucky enough to live in andalucia where we have THEE most advanced regional legislation on trans rights #so i didnt have to fight too many people to access hrt and to change my name on legal docs #but other ppl on the spanish state have been suffering so fucking much #and yeah this law doesnt cover non binary people or migrants but the door is fucking open. its a step forward #and after this terrible terrible week #after the antitrans antisemite game & brianna's murder and so many rampant transphobia #it feels nice to get a win #to have someone in power be so unwaveringly supportive #the queer community in the spanish state is NEVER gonna forget this. never #anyways!!! #felicidades gente trans española!!!! nos vemos en el registro civil dkkskdkkdkxkdk #mine
