#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #yu ziyuan #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #Do you know how hard it was to *not* do a 'Sold To One Direction' spoof comic? It took nearly all my will power. #Mostly because it misaligns a little too far off from the canon events and vibes. #But sit with me for a moment. Consider it: #“BEEP BEEP BEEP. I threw my pillow at my alarm clock. ”Wei Wuxian get your lazy ass downstairs!“ Yu Ziyuan yelled. #I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see my grey orbs staring back at me. #I put my long straight black hair in a ponytail with a red ribbon. #I went downstairs to see my adoptive mother holding a bottle of vodka and a cigarette. #'Listen up whore! I need money to pay the bills so I sold you. Your new owners will be here any minute so go pack!' #I stormed upstairs. There was no way I was going to let her sell me to a creepy old man! #I decided to run away. Since I'm not like other girls I don't have very many friends. #My gay friend Lan Zhan was mean but he lived like a block away. #As I opened the door I saw Wen Chao blocking the door. 'Ello Love. We're your new owners!' #I rolled my eyes and pushed him. 'Aren't you from that stupid Wen Sect? There's no way in hell I'm going with you!' #Hey again. It's me the OP of this blog taking a pause. I haven't actually read this story before aside from the memes #and I am honestly reeling from how this watpad fic chapter ends. What do you mean one of the one direction boys chloroforms her??? #Chapter 2 is so much worse #Why is there such a strong focus on the *eyes* of every boy!!! #This fanfic is a horror story actually. I came into it trying to make a funny parody but I got in over my head. Dear God. #It's me again. Several minutes have passed and I'm on chapter 4. What the FUCK is going on here? #I feel like I opened up pandora's box hoping for a fun little treat and got the plauge upon me. Dont read this fic.

for @lesmiserablol​ and their great fic now that i see you 

so i was going to do what you suggested but this expression reminded me of the smolderTM and i just decided to uhhh tangled au instead

#i also accidentally messed up your ask anyway i hope you enjoy #zukka #zukka tangled au #zukka tangled #everyone go read the fic!!! #Zuko #sokka #hair down sokka #i need to rewatch tangled it's the only disney movie i have on dvd #it's a masterpiece and so is this fic #zuko's thought process during this is he knows the smolder is stupid but. but it 's working a lil lil bit #i love how you mix the show quotes and the movie quotes with your writing it works so well #also sokka sarcastically calling zuko sweetheart is something i never considered and also so so funny #sweetheart (derogatory) #sometimes i have to pause reading your fics because i smile so much my mouth aches

I’ve been seeing a lot of people shit on straight couples in shipping and in general as a "joke" lately, particularly in the Dungeon Meshi fandom. Friendly reminder that, besides the evil straights, when you mock or put down straight couples for being straight/"not queer enough", you also make bi and pan people, and trans and ace people who experience hetero attraction feel unwelcome and lesser. Negativity hurts, love is love, happy valentine’s!

#It’s not even unironic or subtle anymore. Very uncomfy ngl #I know which side of the ace discourse y’all would be on and I do not like it #A lot of people reading will have the gut instinct of “shut up straight 🙄” and if that’s you I want you to pause and think about that #Yes I understand the historical sociopolitical reasons. Can we not rise above and not be exclusionists #When did queerness start being a performance needed to belong here. When did it become synonym for morality of a ship. #Not even gonna put this post in general tags bc I’m scared but if I get backlash my point will only be made tbh. What about this is wrong #Will being an ace heteroflexible-demiromantic queer woman save me some heat? Doubtful and that’s the sad thing isn’t it #Never straight enough for the straights never gay enough for the gays. #Bi marcille and ace laios laimar <3 Not that they care tho #I love being a multishipper. Laicion and farcille and marchil and laimar and cittadol and labru having a tea party in my mind and thriving #Is it not enough to be happy and uplifting

JUST WATCHED THE ENTIRE FALLOUT SHOW IN ONE SITTING AND I GET TO THE END AND THEY STRAIGHT UP SHOW NEW VEGAS?!!?????

IM GENUINELY TWEAKING AND LOSING MY MIND WHAT!!!!! THE END CARD WITH THE LUCKY 38??? THE TOPS??? ALL THE SECURITRONS???

Maybe other people knew this- maybe it was said somewhere they were gonna do New Vegas stuff- but I went in totally blind and had like 0 expectations that this show was going to directly reference another game.

Like I straight up though this show would stick to its own thing since it didn’t seem like it was adapting any part of the previous games.

SO WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED WHEN NEW VEGAS POPPED UP-

Im not a devout follower of the Fallout Timeline lore- so all this talk about the show retconning NV makes no sense to me and I don’t care about it- ITS NEW VEGAS!!!! WITH THE COOL CASINOS AND MR HOUSE AND STUFF!!! ALL GOING TO BE SHOWN IRL IF WE GET ANOTHER SEASON!!! WHY IS NO ONE FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS!!!

#fallout show spoilers #fallout show #fallout new vegas #RAHHHH I just need to scream about NV showing up to someone cause my other friend is normal and didn’t binge it all in 8 hours #i literally cannot explain how out of left field this was for me #I like had to pause and take a lap after seeing that shit #I loved NV- the area there was the most memorable area out of all the fallout games for me #reading other posts it seems it might be portraying a aftermath of NV- as I’m not the one you see in game???? #if so that’ll kinda suck cause I wanted to see characters like The King and stuff but #even if they are gone it’ll still be cool to see everything come to life- wether it’s in ruin or not #i need a season 2 #fallout spoilers #fallout

Mike: *overhears Will talk about how he's in love with a boy that is oblivious*

Mike: Whoever this idiot is, he’s really missing out 🙄

#byler #byler fic #i haven’t stopped laughing for the last five minutes #this fic is from Nov last year #so you regulars have probably already read it #but i only just came across it! #the part where Mike is thinking about how charming Will looks rolling out of bed all while comparing himself to a tornado victim #i had to pause and cackle #also something else i really loved about this fic #was how they built it up in a satisfying way despite will sort of figuring out mike could return his feelings #like that's sort of hard to do when it comes to slow burn #for slow burn you really need that revelation moment for both of them simultaneously usually for it to work #but this was sort of refreshing #will sensing mike could indeed feel the same and flirting with him #top tier content

[strawbubbysugar]

I say this as someone who always uses anon for questions but uh. I completely understand if you revoke anon privileges after that. I think you should honestly. Good luck, stay true to the story you want to tell, and block anyone who starts shit in your inbox.

Nah. I love getting anons and I don’t want to punish people who did nothing wrong for one person’s actions. If I consistently get more asks like that the. Maybe, but for now, I’m not letting one bad ask ruin everybody else’s fun.

#ask #very sweet of you though thank you Angel #I’ve been told I shouldn’t have responded to that ask but like #I felt like I needed to. both to let them understand that what they said was not in any way shape or form how you should talk to someone #let alone a stranger #but also because I needed to show everyone that it has gotten to a point that I’m genuinely thinking about pausing posting for awhile #because it makes it feel like you don’t gaf about the story or the writing or the plot some people just care about the ending #which. doesn’t feel great #I urge anybody who feels the same as that anon or is upset with my choices to please. just read a different fic #I thought eclipse in so(u)l would be the best of both worlds and also would be the fix for the virus like in the game #and I’m still very happy with that ending #but it sucks to see people so upset

Stupid silly sketchbook doodles of beloved basketball club shhdfbfbgby it’s so important 2 me that they act like annoying brothers to each other and also that everyone in nrc acts like they’d rather be shot than develop a crush on one of their bitch classmates

#cereal tries to draw #twisted wonderland #ummmmm. i don’t wanna tag anymore I’m embarrased LOL I wasn’t gonna post it #I was just doodling for private funsies but like yknow how Ywannatalk about ideas with people #even just goofy little headcanons lol #but like u don’t wanna directly place ur thoughts and feelings in front of someone sometimes #bc then it’s DIRECT and STRESSFUL A #but u also don’t feel like it’s worth a Post For All To See #we r keeping it casual here on cerealmonster15 dot tumblr dot com #I just wanna bully my sons #ok literally tho can u read my handwriting. this is the natural state #of on paper and normal not written with intent for others to need to see lol #anyway I think of Ace liked deuce he’d be soooooo complainy about it. and in denial #but I think once he wasn’t in denial he’d be bitching constantly #and I think Jamil would also want to die if he started liking azul lol #Floyd would bully them both. he’s having a great time. god for him I guess #Ace: well hang on let me pause my agony to go baby bro mode and annoy Jamil real quick #get the heat off him (which he started by complaining loudly first) #Floyd: haha you two like dweebs #can u imagine the turmoil of third years developing feelings #they r all allergic. except rook I guess but he’s his own flavor of freak #lilia is dad he doesn’t count he already had his romance agony [REDACTED BOOK 7 SPOILERS] #first years also allergic EXCEPT applejuice. Epel and deuce together are like bro I love u. #second years are mostly allergic but also contain Kalim and silver #shoutout to the light magic users mwah #actually silver I don’t know. I don’t think he’d be resistant but I think he just wouldn’t realize what he’s feeling at first #he’d be so 🧍 about it I think #well bitch you (me) better figure it out since ur actively writing Kalim/silver!!! girl help #ok I need to go to bed I have a long weekend ahead of me #Jamil blows Ace up with his mind the end

18 + swaymark!!

oooo thank you!!

#18 - pleaser, wallows + swaymark

okay i know they are canonically obsessed with each other but. the song is in some ways about feeling like you’re failing in your relationship and being not quite as obsessed with them as they maybe are with you, and in this video of them talking about being a tandem, there is the slightest pause before swayman answers “do you miss him?” that makes me want to probe a wound. we’re not talking irl reasons of how that’s an absurd question (how do you miss him. you’re coworkers you’re seeing each other all the time) we’re talking that maybe this whole goalies-in-love thing got blown out of proportion and now swayman’s having to buy into the bit too hard. linus loves it & everyone’s asking about their bromance & how they love each other so much and the thing is—linus is safe. he’s got a wife and plausible deniability and jeremy? jeremy is gay. sure, he can crack jokes and people-please but the more people ask the more they're going to find out until maybe they find out something jeremy doesn't want them to know. and the longer this goes on, the more jeremy has to sit at linus' dinner table with linus and his beautiful wife and pretend like he isn't a little bit in love with him. and you know what? the longer it goes on and linus doesn't dial it down jeremy does stop being in love with him, because it just feels cruel, until he finally is done enough that he stops biting his tongue and ruins the moment.

#…this so is not a five sentence summary but ALSO this manages to perfectly align with something i was obsessed with (that media video) #like yeah is that pause reasonably a buffering time to a weird question? yes!!! do i want to read into it & make swayman a bit uncomfortabl #also yes!!! sorry i decided to give them tragique but they were assigned by spotify. the other option for this song was an ED fix-it fic #about healthy sex and learning that it can be a part of a normal relationship!! sex is weird and fucked up!! but like. that’s just because #i have always interpreted this song as a) unrequited best friend love & you’re worried you’re gonna fuck it up b) virgin who doesn’t know #what sex is and is scared to tell anyone and then option c) people pleaser keeps going along with it but can’t anymore #also OBVIOUSLY they end up fine. whether that ends up being jeremy finally telling linus (oblivious) i don’t want to do this with you #i need to get over you & them creating a platonic space & sway ends up with someone else OR linus has the oh. true. i simply never #considered that i could be gay for you option OR the one i have just invented but is now my favorite because i love a good polycule is that #linus & his wife simply add jeremy to their relationship. and then this song becomes jeremy scared to have sex with linus’ wife at first lo #liv in the replies #the interviews in that video doing the lord’s work fr but also that ‘do you not miss him’ feels SO uncomfortable. say no! but then he leans #in with the dirty jokes comment & i know i’ve made like eight variations already (sorry. that’s how my brain works) but it is soooo fun #to me personally if they are broken up but now have to act nice & keep doing all these rituals & sell us on the narrative & they’re just #trying to see who’s going to crack first. needle each other into laughing or getting irritated enough it shows through & the other one wins #do even more aggressive hug rituals!! get a medical warning from the athletic training staff!!!

I know I JUST apologized for the Yokoyamaposting, but as Anon wishes, other favorite moments:

Mineposting at 5am just like me frfr

He had a dream where he "danced wildly" with Hijikata (I believe this is in reference to Wild Dancer, but incredibly funny mental image). He says "It's terminal... (T . T)"

Apparently, one-third of the applicants to the hostess auditions were men, because the guidelines don't specify any particular gender. So a GNC man made it to the first live audition (although unfortunately wasn't a finalist), and Yokoyama said if he were a real hostess, he'd request him. He notably did not say anything like that even to the actual hostesses who auditioned

He's talked about being excited to read BL manga, and his "favorite manga character of all time" is OG Depraved Bisexual Tokai from Sanctuary (having picked it up it's really obvious which characters Tokai inspired, but the most obvious one right off the bat is that Ishioda looks exactly like him lol)

He has apparently "consulted the fujoshi(?) [question mark his] on the team" about eyebrow-raising scenes, and was met with "a barrage of surprising answers." He said it's not intentional on his part, but he figures he shouldn't try and make it intentional, since the more he tries the more he feels he's missing the mark. So he has tried...?

there's a lot to unpack here but i think my favorite bits of these is having 'honorary fujoshis' in office to ask about the Suspect scenes in your game

#fave #snap chats #ALSO i looked up the manga and omg ryoichi ikegami drew that manga !!! he's such a big inspo to me that's so neat :] #prob not easy to see since how i draw's also influenced by. A Lot Of Other Shit but VERY epic nonetheless #also yeah tokai does look near exactly like him LMAO #also yeah yoko. don't try to do it intentionally #its not that i have no faith in him it's just that things that aren't meant to happen also happen to be The Best Bits yk what i mean #let the subconscious guide you king... you'll get there by accident and it'll be fire #also what kind of dancing were you up to mr yokoyama.. im going to be forced to imagine club dancing if you said 'wildly' ☠️☠️ #ALSO BIG PAUSE ON THE HOSTESS BIT ?????? sir you're not beating these allegations #but yes thank you for more bits about the man and the legend himself #i promise you don't need to apologize- i/and im sure a lot of other people/ are absolutely living for these #at the very least i am im certainly reading these in earnest

Happy very belated birthday.. I hope you had much time celebrating by digging for tubers : )

I'M DIGGING FOR TUBERS! AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

#fanart #PIO!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is truly so so so delightful to look at. #The roundness...the delightful way you have drawn the ears and boots... #I would commit wildlife conservation crimes and pick this beast up in the wild. Consequences be damned that thing can dig for tubers. #(I have not made a tag for posts with my cowboy cat but I think I need to change that). #Now that I'm reading this whole post again I realize how much of it really sets the tone for my blog. #Does the art look funny? Yes. But I still show up to do it! #I can digging for tubers (make art and enjoy it) #Some people might be here enjoying my process ironically but I have to take myself seriously...much to think about. #I can also go admire my real tubers and give them words of affirmation while they hibernate. #Thank you for also giving me a moment to pause and reflect Pio. An incredible doubled pronged gift <3

I'm not done Hildblogging yet but it has strangely inspired me to write a silly doctor superion thing (on top of all the more serious doctor superion things already in queue, lol) so, er, thank you for your patience.

#silly blabbering #i'm just spacing the reblogs out lol but there are more #or there will be. the little jillian and suzanne thing needs to be done by the 20th so i should not be here #i suppose this is proof that you need to keep reading and watching stories to write your own #regardless of genre or similarity to what you're actually writing #i have way too many j/s things in my list of fics to write. it's ridiculous. help. #the good news is that the final valentines bingo story is coming along. very slowly but it is. and then there's the other one-- #--which i paused to try and get the bingo one out of the way but it was developing quite nicely too #then the two canon divergent aus... sigh. too much creativity too little time!!

ID: audio clip from 1998 radio production of Taming of the Shrew, with Burn Gorman as Grumio & Gerard McSorley as Petruchio:

Grumio. 'Knock at the gate?' O heavens! Spake you not these words plain: 'Sirrah knock me here, rap me here, knock me well, and knock me soundly'? And come you now with 'knocking at the gate'?

Hello "use Firefox" entities. If anyone would have fun expanding upon the suggestion, my phone came with like 20 google apps and I would prefer to have 0. I'm doubt that is 100% possible because there are very few default programs. Example: no default calender or photo app--just google calendar and google photo. But good lord there are too many of them

Is there a "use Firefox" suggestion for email/calendar/map/file viewer/anything?

#i almost got a plain flip phone to avoid Advertisements but the cheapest was like....$100.... so i got a $200 smartphone and its #moderately adequate. i am still figuring out how to answer calls. you swipe to do it but if you dont swipe with a specific velocity it just #wiggles things around. im not sure how im supposed to lock my phone bc the lock button is also the “reads your fingerprint and unlocks your #phone“ button. so ill lock it and then it immediately registers my finger (which i need to use to press the button to lock it???) and then #it unlocks. #humans are not designed for this. we are crafty and clever and cunning but this is beyond my established skill #i miss my first “phone.” everything customizable. app. font. brightness. scheduled volume changes to silence my phone #during school hours. keybind any key to anything. double-press volume-down to pause audio without looking #i had a “swipe down menu” before they were default :3 i picked exactly which options i wanted in it. i remember my first #real phone had the swipe down menu. i was kinda mad because i knew the original designers and programmers hadnt been #compensated. it was open software. but its different when apple uses the programming in hundreds of billions of dollars worth of products. #gah and then they took SOME of the ideas and locked them behind subscriptions 🙄 like when youtube decided that you #had to pay for Youtube Plus or it pauses media if you turn off the screen. why does this app even know if my phone is locked or unlocked? #its annoying... i stay very far away from any work-arounds that could have consequences. so im stuck hopping #from newly-found method to the next. they vanish as soon as the wrong person discovers it and someone codes it out of existence #i love my little mp3player. no wifi. no bluetooth. no google. the few features it has require non-intuitive button pressing. #but....no ads. just music. purchased music! no subscription. it has a headphone jack. fits in my palm. the exterior isnt glass lol. #wow sorry i am raaaambling. oh well. its my post lol. #sorenhoots
