Hi.

#I came here for a good time and am honestly feeling so attacked right now #it’s true but you shouldn’t say it

im afraid the brocedes brainrot has taken me. childhood friends who banded together because no one else liked them who spent years growing up together and helped each other to set up their karts and went on holiday together then ended up at a team (bought for them) before getting to f1 and living their childhood dreams and becoming teammates and outright saying that nothing could get in the way of their friendship only to be proven wrong in the most slow, agonising and horrific way possible and suddenly all those childhood secrets that you share become important weapons in a war against your arch nemesis as you turn an entire team against itself and you can’t eat can’t sleep all you can think about is beating your enemy, your rival, your best friend, your closest confidante and the fallout of the civil war that raged inside your team, inside your friendship, and inside your own head is so toxic and absolute that you can barely say each other’s names years later all you can manage is thinly veiled apologies on TV or declarations of love and remorse to the entire world except the one person you hurt the most and you’re adamant that even though the world whispers in quiet remembrance at the destructive nature of this war they have no idea what really went down or how completely you destroyed each other.

oh and also throughout all this you lived in the same apartment complex and take the same elevator and you do still.

#to love is to destroy. no one can do it like them #brocedes #like look i love lestappen it is my favourite I am a girlie of lestappen through and through #but there’s a toxic addictive element to brocedes you can’t find anywhere else it’s the you’re my only true equal element #and you’re also the only person who could destroy me completely and you did just that #the fact that everyone involved (toto wolff included) had to go through copious amounts of therapy to process 2016 speaks VOLUMES #nico saying he’s still my best friend :( Lewis saying he’s a better teammate now :( #im so ill over them #also like. brocedes are the ones who should’ve made it but didn’t. lestappen are the ones who shouldn’t have made it but did #thinking thoughts about brocedes thesis and lestappen antithesis

Fan communities got worse when people decided their headcanons needed to be validated by creators.

#I am. vague blogging rather obviously but this is true on a wide scale #you can just have headcanons! you can just have ideas in your head! #you shouldn’t bug creators with them! #characters can be canonically cis het and you can still be free to write them as queer to your hearts content!

How come you finished welcome home commissions before other commissions?

Sorry to be kind of rude but a friend of mine commissioned something a while before you started posting about Welcome Home and it’s understandable that you are busy but the welcome home commissions were likely commissioned after you started posting about it so I don’t know why you did them first.

I already know I’m gonna sound like an ass for a moment but here we go-

Firstly this can be taken up privately by your friend if they’re concerned. I also don’t particularly appreciate this in my inbox but to answer, it’s just whatever I can get through quickest. My oldest of the ones sitting are from much longer ago than anything anyone in Tumblr has commissioned me for and I’m finishing those tomorrow (they’re from Twitter and Instagram respectively and I dedicated my entire last Saturday to them alone). Those two have been quite kind and expressed their concerns about turnaround themselves if need be

Anything that’s particularly fun and interesting gets done quicker and keeps space open when others are a bit stuck when I need a quick slot filled like last week to cover an expense, for example. Scraping by on harder/less interesting commissions slows things down

Truly, it’s not that I don’t like some commissions, they’re just harder to sit and focus on

Additionally, my time management has been awful this year because of several points of uncertainty about getting a job, a couple scares on my living situation, and not having a clear window of time consistently to know when to work on things that have been sitting (and of course, burnout is always an issue). It’s easy to find time to just. Scribble and doodle, maybe do a piece for myself, but getting actual work done is a little more difficult. I’ve discovered preclaimed adopts and taking up so many commissions in May last minute wasas a bad choice so I’m still quite literally 15 commissions in the hole to finish on top of your friend’s commission. So making sure that isn’t gonna happen again is all I can do, at the moment. I’ve been chipping away at em in little bits of free time as best I can, reorganizing my canvases, getting a good idea of what’ll be finished first and last, etc etc I’ve actually been quite productive for the last week or so

If your friend is upset they need to tell me. They’re the client, and the content doesn’t concern you directly if you haven’t commissioned me and are waiting. If they’d like a refund because the turnaround is too long, that’s for them to communicate with me and I’m happy to provide a refund. I’m not always gonna be the best artist for the job if you want quick work and that’s fine. I’ve refunded MUCH larger pieces before for that reason. Clients may check in at any time whether I’ve got progress to show for the time or not. And oftentimes I don’t! Sometimes it’s days or a couple-few weeks before I can get progress to people, it just happens and I’ve been working on making sure it doesn’t keep happening so I don’t have to make people expect to wait so long before they hear from me. Trust me, it’s always a bit disappointing when I can’t show anything

And now that I’m working as well, my ability to finish those things just depends on what days I get to myself during the week and atm thats 3 days this week so those 3 days are dedicated to downtime and paid commission work. Which quite frankly, is a bit exhausting. Fun puppet characters and scaly dragons and whatnot are fun and rewarding and I’m clearing my queue while doing something I’m enjoying and that gets me to the older stuff much faster

I’m very sorry the turnaround estimate was more than a little off and it’ll be tweaked for better preparation in the future. I’m also sorry if they’ve asked and I didn’t respond quickly or have sounded dismissive. Hell, some clients pester and pester and that certainly makes doing work for them unenjoyable. I think about these commissions every single day and how I can approach them so I can finish them by sometime in July

#I probably shouldn’t answer this so late bc I’m tired and burned out socially and was extremely pissed earlier #but while I hate to say it it’s true #commissions are hard work #people have sat for a long while and I hate that they do #all the time every day I’m thinking oh #surely I can get this sketch out for this person #pr I can do the flats for this person #just to make a LITTLE bit of progress #and it just doesn’t happen #I do try I really do #and some I’m more successful than others ‘] #half the time it’s no excuse but like I said #if this is so bad that you need to barge into my inbox just have your friends talk to me #I’m sure they’ll be a lot more respectful about it than you certainly were

more and more it makes me kind of uncomfortable (for lack of a better/softer word) to call my own characters ‘ocs’. because like. they’re from a completely original universe and from completely original intertwined stories and all that. so why would i have to specify they’re original in the same way someone would when referring to a character they made for a pre-existing non-original universe/franchise/whatever? by that logic every fiction author ever would be referring to their characters as ocs rather than just. their characters. you know.

#i guess you could say it’s different or something because I haven’t published any one Solid Official Work yet or anything but. #I don’t think that particularly matters? cause then you just get into policing what does and doesn’t count as Real and Official and that #inevitably doesn’t do anything good #idk man I know the term Original Character isn’t technically incorrect in my case but. I just feel like that term was created to separate #fandom creations from their source’s canon. or maybe to describe characters that don’t come from any particular established universe #or story at all (fandom or otherwise). #cause otherwise. why shouldn’t I just be calling them my characters. the characters from my universe and my works. which are #established and incorporated. it’s definitely not properly organized or set up for true publication (at least not yet. definitely possible #I’ll publish something as a consumable structured thing someday) #you just don’t hear established authors calling their characters ocs. because why should they? the original part is sort of a given. #hopefully anyway #anywayyuyyyyyyeuyyyhh sorry this is not important just has been on my mind the last few weeks or few months or more #kibumblabs #I guess there’s also a difference maybe between making characters for the sake of making characters- and those being ocs- versus #characters that are developed as part of a larger work/story #I definitely feel like there’s a difference between the two and how they should be labelled (but im not saying one is more valid than the #other or anything like that.) #like when I see a poll that’s like ‘how many ocs do you have’ I just kinda sit there cause that question. doesn’t make sense in #my situation at all. because it’s the same as asking the author of a fiction novel that question. what do I count as my ‘oc’ #would that mean my primary characters? or vaguely my primary and secondaryish ones? or do you mean every single character mentioned #regardless of importance or prevalence? every single named parent or grandparent or boss or childhood friend or one night stand or etc etc #I feel like it’s weird to call those characters ‘ocs’ in the way the question is implying. but then what DOES count? it just doesn’t make #sense for something like this. right? it irks me a little

danfihsdbfhjdafbah there is someone who likes to speak with me and that’s nice and all but they fundamentally misunderstand every point i try to make. they like to feel included but it leads to them trying to re-explain everything i’ve said (even personal experiences I’ve talked about) as if they understand them to show that they’ve been listening. and no matter what they always always always get it wrong. like. dude. please don’t try to speak as if you’ve lived it. i’ve seen them try to explain my ocd/other mental health issues before as if they understand my own feelings but they don’t. especially since they misconstrue everything i say. it’s gotta be embarrassing for them but i really would prefer they stop :/

#they have this strong need to feel included but it leads to them over-reaching and trying to understand/talk about things that they #shouldn’t. esp when they (well-meaning) start saying some stupid shit #like ahdsdbajd they said that ppl who have pronoun pins have a stereotype of being annoying and it’s okay for people to assume that #bc the stereotype is ‘based in reality’ but like #dude #no #even if a stereotype is ‘based in reality’ (which stereotypes themselves are ehjahdjshdsj) that doesn’t give you the right #to treat people as if those stereotypes are true from the get-go #esp bc they were saying that ppl with pronoun pins also act like spoiled brats like okay. i have no idea where you got that from but #i would like to say that that was a stupid thing you just said can you shut the fuck up #but they keep talking u know. and they don’t understand when they’ve crossed a line #like ahdsnjdsbshabs #they’re my sister btw so i have to deal w them atm

Deed written by Capsize (Ep. 69 Jordan, Ep.80 Tom, Ep.55 Sonja):

Thanks to your help, Hero. Ianite is now healthy again, and because she is she has decided to replenish everyones houses and give them a little extra.

A while back we promised you that we would give you any booty that we found and after you showed a fine interest in my vessel I thought it would only be right givin’ it to you.

You went against your own god to help the others. That is the meaning of a true hero.

Thank you. x x x

#the fact both Tucker n Sonja awww’d at this and Jordan immediately turn her message into something secual 😭 #I am not forgiving him for that 😭😭 #zombiecaptainduo 4ever. best friendship idc idc #there are like a lot of things that this one message say about capsize; she’s attentive and has the ability to be an absolute sweetheart #she gave him HER OLD SHIP!!! ‘that makes you a true hero’ shut up😭 #Tom is the ONLY one to be named a hero by capsize #and the only one to be names Captain by her too #mianite #I realize I also mention this note but I don’t even have it on my blog. that was so rude of me #…I should also post the rest of Ianite’s Dreams shouldn’t I? lmao they’re just sitting in my drafts #also it’s so interesting how capsize just says ‘Ianite’ and not ‘lady Ianite’ ‘my lady’ or anything like that. it’s just Ianite. #Mianite: Season One Books #mianite books

bylers: I think there’s a possibility Mike was lying during his monologue, or at least not telling the whole truth—

milkvans/ga: That makes no sense? He gave a whole speech at the end of the season! You think all of that was lies?? You’re delusional!!

They say this as if s4 didn’t literally start with a letter full of lies from El to Mike?

Like… if anything the writers are circling back to a storyline they themselves started. If anything this makes the most sense narratively to resolve these conflicts that have been piling up.

And they HAVE to do it this way, bc they know a good chunk of their audience is woefully ignorant and will stop watching out of spite if byler happens any sooner than the end.

#byler #stranger things #i get being confused if you have only watched the show once #and especially if overall you’ve only seen it once through #but idk how tf fans on Reddit #who admit to rewatching the show countless times #can say with their whole chest byler won’t and shouldn’t happen #then they’ll admit all the signs are too good to be true when presented #and again say they hope that it doesn’t happen #like YALL are hoping your fav show sucks #internalized homophobia or just blatant homophobia has redditors by the throat

[anoddopal]

Cooked up a bunch of bad thoughts™️ and psychoanalyzed myself a little too critically over the fact that I am drawn to so many villainous characters- quite a few of whom are outright reprehensible… so much so that occasionally, when I snap to a viewpoint that a “normal fan” might perceive my faves from, I go “Girly t h i s is the freak that brings you comfort? Y I K E S.😬”

#Sometimes I feel guilty about liking certain characters… #I always say that I create “The *least* problematic selfship dynamics with the *most* problematic of characters” #Which is true! I really will see The Worst Guy Ever™️ and go ‘they would treat me so kindly’ ;n; #But how much of it is OOC delirium and how much of it is a reasonable conclusion to make via context clues? 🫠 #And then I have to remind myself that it’s FICTION and I shouldn’t gaf in the first place. #At my core I know it all stems from trauma + wanting to feel protected/safe ;n; #And my brain tells me ‘‘Evil F/O could provide you with that!’’ #kind of a vent? i guess? #Opal IRL #all the baddies

#whether the thing is true or not the fandom’s reaction to this is so……… #people who are saying it’s not a big deal and we shouldn’t focus on that bla bla bla #are y’all….okay? #like I’ve always tried not to police anyone’s feelings bc I hate when people do that but this is like. crossing so many lines lol #i get not wanting to talk about it on your blog at all #I know a lot of people who talk about bg only in private messages #so that’s not about that #but saying it’s not a big deal?? that we should trust Louis with this lmao? #saying who cares what happens to e kid when we got a shirtless Louis hugging Harry? are you fr lol #pls get help #Idc if this offends someone bc if you’re offended that I’m saying a child shouldn’t get violated just so a grown ass millionaire man can #safely continue his career thay says more about you than me #check your priorities #anyway💆🏼‍♀️💆🏼‍♀️ I’m gonna still hope it’s not true until someone I actually know sees it themselves #and then if it is then goodbye #bc I won’t be able to look at Louis after seeing that

#this was. not prompted by anything recent i’m just thinking about it #but idk Why my friends feel compelled to make jokes about me hating butches???? #like it’s obviously not TRUE….. and like i shouldn’t get upset if it’s not true but #it resurfaces a time of my life (think. when i was like 18) that is really really embarassing #it just makes me feel like i haven’t changed. which i have #and i know it’s all jokes and almost always has to do with discussing characters from stuff or whatever #but still. it feels like that kind of mean spirited joking where you’re actually kind of seriously making an accusation underneath the joke #ykwim #anyways. i love butches and these jokes are dumb and the next time one is made i will say something fr #bc i don’t wanna be stuck as the image of me who is fresh out of high school. jesus christ #i think the main one i’m thinking of is like #i had mentioned that i used to not think that jaina from naddpod was hot #when like. she clearly is. and also is implied to be butch or at least my friends hc her as butch #and everyone dogpiled on me and was like SO YOU HATE BUTCHES #and like i tried to earnestly be like No why would you say that 😭 but nobody paid me any mind. idk #it’s happened at other times in a similar way and again it’s a JOKE but it still gets to me #diary

the amount of time i spend thinking about Even carrying the metacrisis doctor’s fob watch is really quite disproportionate to how much ive fleshed out that part of the story in my head

#i still find myself not caring if the metacrisis doctor couldnt use one. he can because i said so and because donna shouldn’t get amnesiaed #alone. #but anyway. even. its just something about like. #here is your best friend. the man who showed you how big the universe could be. its still him human or not. its still the doctor. #can’t call him that. have to watch your tongue always because no matter how familiar their faces are. these two people do not remember #everything you did together and never can. at least they still love each other. nothing could change that. that’s what matters. you steer #them into each other’s lives so carefully and watch to see if they’re going to get hurt. but they don’t. it’s okay. #and still. and still. you carry your best friend’s life. everything that he is. you can hold it in the palm of your hand. he gave it to you. #he entrusted it to you. well. that’s not entirely true. technically you volunteered. but how else could you say thank you. #you made your world so so small again. for him. larger than you would’ve been used to once but you know what galaxies feel like to fly #across. and now you’re stuck in time and space. this is for love too. this is for the life you hold in your hands. #or wear around your neck on a chain. and because you chose this. you can never see him again. or you see him every day and he doesn’t #recognize all of you. #that would make anyone desperate wouldn’t it? make you do something stupid. make you turn to someone you shouldn’t. #even makes bad choices when they are cornered. i think. #dw oc #the important bit is of course that the only way they can ever get rid of it is by their own choice. which they never would choose to do. #(because tentoo won’t take it back. he’s his own person. impressions of the doctor influencing him. but the part of him that is donna doing #so as well. a whole new person. who does not want her memories back and to be unmade.) #but the point is that the moment even takes it. they will never let it go. they will lose it. on painful occasion. but it always finds its #way back. depending on the context this presence and responsibility is either comforting in its constancy. #or. in a less kind world. a horrifying reminder of how far they have fallen from who they tried to be for him.
