#so I'll probably give this a shot!

[blackberry-bloody]

So I'm curious if anyone would be interested if I did a series of drawings and "pages" explaining my world building/lore for demons, angels, heaven, and Hell? Like Journal 3 style from Gravity falls, or Phillip's journal from Owl house. Or those "-ology" series books (dragonology, wizardology, pirateology, etc)? That kind thing!

I always thought that would be really fun to do! And now I have enough lore that I could probably at least get some stuff out there!

What do y'all think?

#jay jabbers #interest check #will probably do it anyway since I already love the idea #and like... #it'd genuinely be super helpful to myself #i keep most of my lore stored in my brain #and my memory isn't what is was back when I started world building #but other formats just... don't vibe with me #so I'll probably give this a shot! #have a couple ideas as to who would be the storyteller already

Back Pain 💥

[id: A sketch of a fox lying on the ground. It's back is facing the camera, and a long, jagged line runs along where it's spine should be. /end id]

#Illustration #Artwork #Fox #Chronic pain #Scoliosis #It is 6:30 in the morning and I can't sleep D: #I use a rolling backpack but had to carry it up a ton of subway stairs while it had my big heavy laptop in there #Was for a portfolio review so it was worth it but definitely not good for my back :((( #Took a painkiller so the pain's eased up. But now I've got studio in like two more hours #Hopefully I can catch some Zzzs! Gotta give it a shot #Doodling this helped make my eyes a little tired so I have high hopes #ACK just edited the image id in! not confident that I formatted it right but I'll check when I get a nap #And you know what? More rambling! My back is probably so achey because I couldn't wear my back brace #It was so hot in the city out of nowhere and I can't travel and wear my brace comfortably in that heat. sad times :(

With how I'm planning my fics, since Menelaus and Agamemnon spend some years at Tyndarius' palace, I kind of have them all be childhood friends in a way before Agamemnon and Menelaus take back their kingdom (Aga is around 19, Menelaus 15 when they leave. 5-6 years later they get married.) With how their marriages work out when talking about "Old times", Odysseus is the "odd one out" as he was the only one who didn't grow up alongside them. The poor guy is left out.

Odysseus: "Wait, why is everyone laughing? What does that mean? I don't get it." Penelope: "Well you see-" Goes on about a silly story but the inside joke is dumb. "...You probably would've had to have been there to get it" Odysseus:

#I'm so excited for how Ima have the dynamics in my fics >:D #Is this all silly? YEah :D Is it probably unlikely? YEAH. Do I care too much? No. :D you can't tell me they stayed at Tyndarius and NOT mak #them childhood friends to lovers (Agamemnon and Clytemnestra is a different situation but no spoilers lskdfj ) #Odysseus is Menelaus' wingman (at first just going to sightsee and try and win the favors of others) but as soon as Odysseus falls #HARD for Penelope and starts getting a little desperate on how to “woo” her. Menelaus becomes a wingman for him as well #“I know her favorite jewel is Lapis Lazuli but she hates bracelets. She messes with them too much and then they break. don't give those” #Odysseus is frantically writing everything down #I love making these silly people even more silly. I hope that's okay haha #They don't have much time in the Iliad but I love Menelaus' and Odysseus' friendship (based on how Menelaus talks about him in the #odyssey.) And Helen already knows she wants Menelaus but I'll get into that later >:D #If anyone has seen the movie “Up”. Young Carl is young Menelaus and Young Ellie is...Kind of like Helen?? more the “shy boy gets looped #into crazy shenanigans with a sassy girl who thinks he's neat". #“You don't talk very much...I like you!” and Menelaus is just standing there. big eyed and confused but happy. :D #my headcanons #shot by odysseus #Mad rambles

last week marked a full year since i started a daily habit of reading french fiction to myself out loud, so i took a picture of the books i finished in the last twelve months to commemorate the occasion!

as you can see, there are nine books total but two of the books (count of monte-cristo and les mis) take up fully half the volume, which makes sense because the first six of the twelve months were devoted to just those two behemoths. full list:

Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, Tomes I et II, Alexandre Dumas père

Les Misérables, Tomes I et II, Victor Hugo

La fin de Chéri, Colette

Le Tour du monde en 80 jours, Jules Verne

Exercices de style, Raymond Queneau (this one i read in both paperback and audiobook; the audiobook is stacked on top)

Changer l'eau des fleurs, Valérie Perrin

Claudine à l'école, Colette et Willy

Candide ou l'Optimisme, Voltaire

Le mur, Jean-Paul Sartre

la fin de chéri was both the shortest book and the hardest to read! there was a lot of vocab i wasn't familiar with, and the syntax was a real challenge. colette LOVES her a comma. like, she uses commas to do so many different things i can never really tell what any given comma is supposed to be doing. she might as well just not use punctuation at all. also, i only discovered this like five months after the fact, but it's apparently a sequel?? i was super confused by a bunch of stuff that seemed pretty unexplained and it turns out there was a reason for that lol (the reason being the explanations were in a totally different book). i also just, like, didn't really like the story 😩 rip me!

cmc and les mis were both books i had read previously in english but never in french. exercices du style and probably about half of le mur i had read for college french (if you look closely you can see the spines of those two are a more faded color because i've had them for 15 years lol). the rest were brand new to me. changer l'eau des fleurs was the only book published in the current century. so much great vocab in that one...i really gotta read more stuff from the last few years. also it made me cry big time.

i think i'm gonna keep up this daily habit, but i'd like to expand to poetry and possibly? even non-fiction?? at some point?? francophones feel free to rec me stuff! i'm trying to work my way through some of the really classic french canon, so next up i'm thinking maybe le fantôme de l'opéra, cyrano de bergerac, and at least the first volume of à la recherche du temps perdu? i also want to read more recent stuff, so i've been looking at winners of readers' choice prizes and whatnot, but suggestions from actual individuals would be grand. i think some scifi could be cool maybe, but i don't know anything about french-language scifi and have no idea where to start...

non-french francophone authors would also be really great if you have any suggestions!

#even though i didn't like la fin de chéri i decided to give claudine a chance because of that keira knightley movie 😂 #and i liked it much better! i think i might read the sequel(s)? #i also already own gigi so i'll give that a shot #probably gonna read more valérie perrin too because changer l'eau des fleurs was just really good #i'm currently reading another jules verne and then i have a third one of his as well bc he's just so easy to read #and this 15th-century volume of poetry by villon i got at a thrift store several months ago and keep putting off because i'm intimidated #but that's it other than textbooks (and my beloved dictionaries of course) so i gotta start thinking about what to get next! #french #books #my posts #described in alt

i never played a dark souls game before but maybe i should because i both really love exploring in games but feel a little overwhelmed by complete open world environments. in great part because full open world environments tend to get a little repetitive and bare in order to fill up the map, but also because i love the feeling of visiting and revisiting an area after getting to know new ability in order to learn everything about it and discovering secrets in the process. it's what i liked the most about playing hollow knight and yume nikki

#and i hear dark souls is like that so i'll probably give it a shot one day

🐰 for Bisig!

🐰 OC in a kigurumi of their favourite animal

Introducing: crabisig! :D

From this OC outfit doodle here, thank you for the ask!!

#mydrawings #MyCharacters #Bisig #OC ask meme #i briefly considered a fish kigurumi but i figured ''favourite thing to eat'' probably wasn't quite the spirit of the question #also she wouldn't wear that she thinks fish people are weird #(Bisig's opinions are her own and do not reflect the author's) #so! crab :> #to match her crabfamily <3 #me before drawing this: eh i don't care much for that kigurumi thing either way but sure i'll give it a shot #me now: i have seen the error of my ways that is ADORABLE #ask #yunisverse

Books of 2023: WALKING PRACTICE by Dolki Min. So far this has been fucked up and weird and hilarious, and intermittently heartbreaking and poignant and hugely relatable (not about the eating people or the sex, but, like. about the Body Woes and Gender and Loneliness Of It All). It also does some neat stuff with kerning and text layout and POV, and I’m having a great time!!

#books of 2023 #dolki min #walking practice #victoria caudle #it's also a very approachable translations which is. nice. coming off EARTHLINGS lol #don't get me wrong there is a LOT of graphic sex lol #and there's equally a lot of graphic Eating Of People (goes into all the gory details) #and. yknow like. i'm pretty sure all the POV character's alien people died probably. so :( #but if you don't mind the sex or the Eating give it a shot!! #i'm enjoying it a lot so far it's quite a trip!! #the first forty pages i didn't even notice zipping by #the chunk i read yesterday was. a little slower. #i've seen some reviews complaining about the length/pacing which. might be real. #TBD i'll keep y'all posted #books #book photography

trick or treat!!

How about a bit of a Bellazón-related wip that I got just kind of sitting there on the ever-turning rotisserie in my brain? 147 words; takes place obviously in an AU where this can happen; slightly edited so it WILL be different in the final version but I'm not telling you HOW.

“Where…” Rosinante sat up and wiped the tears and snot and ruined cosmetics from his face onto his shirtsleeve. “…where is Nami?” “Arlong has her,” the girl squeaked. “He saw one of the maps she can draw and kidnapped her.” “She can draw maps?” “Yeah; better than adults, even though she’s younger than me.” She looked at this strange man slumped into the couch and shivered. “How… how do you know Bell-mère…?” “We used to… work together.” “You used to be a Marine?” He paused and licked his lips. “Yeah. I was, but… I don’t know if I can ever call myself that again.” “Good,” the girl said, resolute. “Marines are useless. Can you get my sister back from Arlong?” Rosinante let go of Bell-mère’s hand and gently held the girl’s face as he looked her directly in the eyes. “Tell me where I need to go.

Want a little fic snippet, WIP, behind-the-scenes info, or otherwise, hit up my ask (multiple callers accepted and encouraged)!

#I'll be doing these all weekend folks so come on down (free balloons for de kids) #I'm admittedly having some trouble with this one down the line #it'll likely be a multichapter or one reeeeally long one-shot #also will mark the return of the Tangerine Hearts sibling dynamic which admittedly has me excited #I love giving these six orphans from canon a more stable home life and becoming a hockey team's worth of siblings #their dynamic is probably what keeps the first version of that going strong lol #gendervapor #gendervapor14 #One Piece #Donquixote Rosinante #Nojiko (One Piece)

Looking at the new Azul card like "You are not the man I married" like I'm a woman whose husband never greets her when he comes home anymore and only comes home tired and mad

#It's the art style. #I'm telling you twst wouldn't be flopping so hard if they had me. Just the facts #Look me in the eyes and tell me the cards look as good as they did before I dare you #Anyway the whole husband wife thing probably popped into my head bc of the movie I watched yesterday #Rewind which is a Filipino movie #Gotta promote my country 💪💪 Anywhoozle #It's. A decent movie. Kind of #Okay I'll be honest it's not REALLY my cup of tea #PARTS OF IT WERE HILARIOUS THO AND IT'S BC OF THE ACTOR HE ALWAYS HAS THE FUNNIEST ROLES #I have no idea what his name is tho 😭 #He played Jesus in this one #Yes. Jesus. God #But it wasn't a totally bad movie since I didn't abandon it halfway #So if u see it give it a shot 👍 And tell me about it too #☆ taruchi rambles 💬

#one problem that's got me right now; aside from my stomach audibly churning wanting something more; is no one listens #people try to listen; and people think they listen; but they don't actually listen #there's always advice to be given; there's always their own perspective to be imposed on things #and everyone means well; everyone's real damn caring you know? that's part of why I don't just say this shit #but no one actually listens #...why is it that so often when I listen to people they're like 'Exactly!'; but when people listen to me it's like... you didn't hear me? #am I just pickier? or when I listen is it that I go broader strokes and avoid advice? #I'll often take a shot in the dark just based on looking inward and seeing how I'd be feeling in that situation #and... and this isn't a brag or something; but I can't remember the last time someone didn't feel validated by it #(which must be blindness on my part; I must have missed the times I made people feel more alone) #(I certainly don't always even manage to find something worthwhile to say; but when I do people seem validated) #but that's me turning inwards and just presenting how the situation makes me feel; and that making people feel seen #(like once again; not fucking bragging; but people will act like I saw right through them) #(when I was just tossing out something that I was only like 70% sure of and felt probably insulting or something) #but then I complain that people impose their own perspectives when talking to me... when me doing that seems to be what works #so why the fuck is that? is it that I more use myself as a thing to look at to relate to them while not really giving advice? #is my real complaint more like 'no one seems able to listen without trying to offer advice'? #also like... no one seems able to like... fucking trust me; or think for a second I might have lived this shit (possibly longer than them) #like... in a non emotional example: #once was talking about how I gotta heat my room with an electric radiator and the person starts telling me about how I gotta do it #like '3 ft away from any object' type advice and it's like... #I've been doing this for like 4 years; radiator sits about 6-8 inches from my bed and the cat spot; wood never gets more warm than sunlight #like I'm no fucking guru on it; but please don't treat me like and idiot you need to teach when you haven't actually used this stuff #why the hell can't anyone trust me? I got myself a fucking house; you know? why is it always always always advice #I'll talk about a situation; be doing more or less all anyone can do; all you have to say is 'yeah fuck that asshole' #no no; advice on what I need to tell someone about how to deal with that asshole that's not as nuanced as what I'm already doing #you share your biggest fears and just get fucking advice that won't work on how you can fix them #...kinda makes me want to blow my brains out as much as the hunger does right now #wish someone would mimic me on this; cause I seem to know what I'm doing #'gee sorry to hear that; that sort of thing is hard to deal with; you're doing a good job getting through it'

#okay so. i'm taking the lsat on friday (the day after my fucking birthday whomp whomp) #and i've been just. so so anxious about it. to the point where i've been wondering if it's best if i just postpone it for a month #you only get a limited number of attempts. and i don't really feel like i'm *ready* so i don't want to waste one of the few chances i have #but at the same time i'll probably do well enough regardless to get into a decent school #but i don't think i'll be able to do good enough to get a score that give me a decent shot at the schools i *want* to get into you know #idk. i feel like i should probably just bite the bullet and take it. especially because i'm pretty sure i can't get my money back #but i'm anxious! anxious enough to post about it on tumblr kjhgfghjk #krispy's personal tag #aahhhhh.. idk friends wish me luck. i'm gonna need it kjhghj

I got distracted and watched like three video essays abt haunting ground and now I need to draw daniella so baddd she's so scary and interestingg

#she's obviously terrible but her character is so interesting to me #idk i end up feeling simultaneously like i hate her and also feel terrible for her #her lines about not being complete just hit like a punch to the stomach yknow #i think it's funny some of the most interesting games to me are ones I haven't played/can't play #though tbf i have no real way to play haunting ground #but i could play pathologic and i just don't lmao one of these days I'll give it another shot but damn i underestimated how not-fun it is #gotta love consuming things that are probably bad for my mental health lmao. i really thought the other night “i should reread punpun” #like NO. NO YOU SHOULD NOT!!

came back from evil dead rise!! anyways, as a californian who's mom has dyed red hair I was feeling pretty targeted 😰

like what do you MEAN it takes place in california, this is supposed to be MICHIGAN'S problem!!!!!!!! now we have to worry about deadites?????????? FUCK

#I'll probably write more about the movie at the end of the weekend to. y'know. give people time to watch it lol #but for now I'll say: it was good! #tone is a good mix of the 2013 film and the original. leaned a BIT towards evil dead 2 goofy moments #but mostly played it straight #also i have NO IDEA where the supposed bruce campbell cameo is at #It MIGHT be in an establishing shot at the beginning? #there's like. a split second of a music venue so i wouldn't be surprised if he's there somewhere #I don't think he could be in any other shots tbh #If you spot him pls let me know 🙏 I'm curious #evil dead rise #evil dead rise 2013 #evil dead

okay, i’ve read about half of No Country for Old Men now so i’ve had time to get used to Cormac McCarthy’s writing style and have to say i really like it. it’s so direct, so concise, no bullshit, but still unique and engaging. it’s honestly a great style once you get used to the weird way he does dialogue, but i actually kinda like how he weaves dialogue directly into the prose/narration so there’s no distinction. i’d still... prefer there to be quotation marks and more typical form of dialogue writing, but it’s good. i like what he’s doing, ultimately.

#Psy's no punctuation posts #really wanna read more of him #i have All the Pretty Horses so i'll give it a shot after this #then if i can't get into it i'll probably buy Blood Meridian at work. i really have wanted to read Blood Meridian #OOOh also have to go looking for The Searchers too #that's not McCarthy it's just another Western but i'm on a Western kick lol
