I got my motivation to draw back!! So I drew something cute!! ...Err, I mean Blaze hallucinating dead people and demon alter-egos whom he kind of turned into a patron of sorts despite his patron being said dead circus stuck in his head?
Complicated shit, my guy. He’s cute so therefore it’s cute logic in full force rn.
Nice! You clicked on the cut! Here’s the alternate version without it being haunted.
Tumblr media
Still effectively is the same thing, just no face lol.
I think any Genasi with element-based hair (eg. Blaze’s fire hair, Tempest’s fog hair) would be affected by their environment/mood. Like Blaze here I picture as having just come out of the shower/bath, so his fire hair is down to embers. Tempest, however...
Tumblr media
...It’s a barbarian rage thing, I think. His parents are an Air Genasi and Fire Genasi, and his older sister was a Fire Genasi, so when she died and became his ‘patron’ of sorts, he can get Pissed and look like a Fire Genasi to some degree. Or at least that’s the logic.
What’s with me and fucked up characters? Blaze is haunted by ghosts, Tempest’s got PTSD, Axel’s traumatized with so many mental health conditions... lmao? I guess? I like depth and this is how I made depth with three of my favourites.
#the disappointment speaks#drawings by me#OCs#D&D#screams in no motivation station yo.#fun fact! Its story time in the tags btw so buckle up fucker!!#I lost motivation bc I'd draw for myself for the most part but share with my good friends right?#so I would draw something and share it with them#periodically I'd get a ''wow cool'' or a reaction on a thing I posted. but for like five-plus months I posted and got NOTHING#so midway through February I gave up on drawing all together#yeah my work has me currently on 9 days this week soon to be 10 or 12 but yknow I have ways to keep myself sane (I hope)#but I just completely lost motivation!!#my new coworker thought it was cool I did digital art which was nice but other than that I got dick-ass-all#so the other day out of nowhere one friend wanted a ref for a ttrpg character I finished in early Jan#I reluctantly dug up my inspo files and sketched up some basic shit for her to send back#and while sending it back I remarked I hadnt drawn anything in over a month and sent a quick half-doodle from feb 14th#it was tempest using blaze as a bludgeoning weapon. it wasnt good. it wasnt anything to write home about. it was my last attempt at drawing#but one other friend commented after I shared that that they burst out laughing and really liked it???#and the two of my friends were commenting that I was v good at drawing and they liked the funny????#and idk feeling validated for what you do as a hobby or job really helps to boost morale. as a healthcare worker I knew that#so I got my motivation (mojo? austin powers lol) back and made this yesterday to de-stress after having a slight breakdown at work#so <3 to my friends who like my art! you really keep me going at times and validate what is a fruitless endeavour and hobby#I do it 99% of the time just for myself so its nice to know other people enjoy my doodles now and again <3#I post them on tumblr and twitter for my friends beyond my discord groups tho#and for you fuckers who wanna see my dumb drawings I guess? anyhow--#the tags have gone on long enough I cut them off here lol.#enjoy me ranting in the tags about motivation and shit. I will never do commissions either so fuck y'all <3#genuinely dont want to monetize my love for doodling dumb shit. that's all. no one's asked but I wont offer it ever.

Sweet Dreams...(18+ Fic)
I've never written for Jey so I'm sorry if his scenes are a bit short. I need to get more comfortable writing for him. But I hope you guys like this one!... Also, yes there will be a part 2 because of course. If anything to make up for the lack of Jey. 😹💓 also, thank you to @moxleyunstable for the inspo! I love causing filthy chaos with you! 😂😇
Pairing(s): Roman Reigns/Fem. Reader (established Jey Uso/Fem. Reader)
Summary: Switch!Jey's bratty and sadist Sub has been having some trouble sleeping, causing her to act up. Jey enlists his cousin, Roman to set her straight...
Tags: 18+, bratting, sadism, masochism, bondage, flogging, overstimulation, forced orgasms.
Word Count: 2,615
Jey could sense that he had to pull out the big guns tonight.
It wasn’t that I didn’t respect him, I absolutely did.
But Jey and I- and his cousin, Roman- had an understanding at this point.
He wasn’t always the commanding and harsh Dom I sometimes needed, and we quickly found that out when we first started dating.
As fun as Jey was to poke at, I knew and understood that he wasn’t always up for dishing out harsh punishments, but sometimes that was just what I needed… and that’s where Roman would step in.  
At first, I wasn’t too keen on the idea of bringing someone else into our dynamic, much less using Jey’s cousin.
So, imagine my fucking surprise when Jey himself asked me to consider that option!
(Past)
‘’You trust him, dontcha?’’ Jey asked me the night that he had brought up the idea.
I felt my face grow warm at the mere idea and of course, he noticed.
‘’And you think he’s good-looking,’’ he said, smirking a little as I buried my face into his chest.
‘’Jeyyy!’’ I whined, laughing a little. ‘’I just don’t want this to be weird. I mean, he’s your cousin.’’ I almost whispered as if we weren’t in the privacy of our own home.
Now it was his turn to laugh.
‘’Baby, it’s not like I’m talkin’ threesomes. I just trust him to be able to do what we need him to do. You’re my girl, yknow? I’m not gonna just hand you off to just anybody. I needa know that you’re gonna be in good hands.’’ He murmured, softly kissing the spot behind my ear when I lifted my head from his warm chest to smile at him.
After not much further back and forth, I accepted.
(Present)
‘’Baby, c’mon, let’s go home. We gotta be up early tomorrow.’’ Jey whispered discreetly to me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
I was perfectly content to continue chit-chatting with Alexa and she knew exactly what I was doing.
Only she didn’t know why.
I wasn’t tired at all, and I knew that it was gonna take a lot to get me to sleep tonight.
But if I didn’t get some sleep soon, I was gonna deeply regret it in the early morning.
That tended to happen from time to time due to how fucking insane our WWE schedules were.
There weren’t many people in the locker room who knew about the dynamic in our relationship, both those who did definitely got a kick outta seeing me act up every now and then.
Before I even responded to Jey, I could see Alexa’s lips twitching in amusement.
‘Yeah, I’m goin’. One sec, babe.’’ I said a little too flippantly, then I turned my attention back to Alexa.
… Then I felt Jey’s hold on me stiffen a bit, until he slowly extricated himself from me.
Once again, I felt his warm breath against my ear as he whispered.
‘’5 minutes.’’ Was all Jey said before he walked away to the parking lot.
I let about 7 minutes go by before I felt my phone buzz in my hands and my legs became a little wobbly as I looked at the name that came up on my screen.
Clearly Jey wasn’t fuckin’ around tonight.
‘’Who is it?’’ Alexa asked, looking between me and at the phone I had yet to answer.
‘’… It’s Joe.’’ I winced and she mimicked my expression.
‘’Good luck!’’ Alexa said to me and gave my shoulder a sympathetic squeeze.
I knew that I had brought this upon myself, but I wasn’t going down without a fight.
‘’What do you want, Joe?’’ I murmured.
Alexa’s eyes widened a little at my tone, but I just smirked.
In my bratty haze, I seemed to have forgotten just how fucking sadistic Roman could get.
But I was gonna be reminded real soon…
‘’First off, watch that tone… you’re ridin’ with me tonight. I don’t care who you’re talking to- you could be talkin’ to the boss himself. Don’t make me come get you myself.’’ Roman growled, making me melt into a puddle almost immediately.
Roman didn’t have to yell in order to command a room, much less to get me to do what he wanted.
But sometimes that pissed me off- the ease in which he could make me switch up and get me to almost stand at attention.
Tonight, I wanted to fight back a little harder.
Knowing that I could trust him to be up for the challenge, I felt myself slipping further into that tumultuous haze that clouded my judgement.
And so, I poked.
‘’Aww you gonna carry me to the car, Romieee?!’’ I mocked.
But instead of his deep, rumbling voice, I was met with a dial tone.
‘’… He hung up.’’ I said to Alexa, gulping a little nervously now to which she replied with an ‘oh shit’ expression.
Not even 2 minutes later, I felt a large hand casually resting on the back of my neck, giving it a squeeze for a nanosecond.
‘’Hey, Alexa.’’ Roman smiled kindly at the blonde before looking at me.
He was smiling at me too, but his eyes told a different story.
Foolishly, I didn’t think he’d actually come and get me.
But holy shit…
‘’Let’s go.’’ He said and this time, I didn’t argue.
The fact that he actually followed through in such a public way threatened to make my knees go wobbly again and so I bid Alexa goodnight and I followed Roman to his rental…
~~~
‘’Where’re we going?’’ I softly asked after a few tense minutes of silence as the driver took us to whatever destination Roman had decided for us.
Suddenly, an extremely lavish neighborhood came into view and my jaw dropped a bit.
In the WWE, we got paid well.
Though some definitely got paid better than others and Roman fell into that pool of select wrestlers.
‘’I don’t wanna do what I have to do, in a hotel room. Hotel room walls are paper thin.’’ Was all he said to me, causing me to worry my bottom lip between my teeth.
I didn’t reply as we walked into the mansion with our luggage after Roman gave the driver a hefty tip.
The place was absolutely insane.
The area was completely fenced in, with large arching doors leading us inside into a brightly lit and expansive foyer.
I was just admiring the stunning staircase when I heard Roman come up next to me.
‘’Come with me.’’ He said, not bothering to look behind him to see if I would follow him.
But of course, I did.
‘’Ooh, am I gonna get a spanking?!’’ I dared to say, and I could see Roman’s lips quirking up into a smirk for a fraction of a second at the excited and defiant lilt in my voice.
But he didn’t respond.
Roman just continued to lead the way upstairs until we reached a door at the end of a very long hallway.
I was almost disappointed when I was greeted by a pretty simple guest bedroom instead of a playroom, but I said nothing.
‘’Strip.’’ Roman commanded.
‘’Why?’’ I smirked, crossing my arms.
His left brow raised a little at my question, but I just continued to smirk.
‘’Because you need to take a shower...’’ I watched Roman’s eyes begin to sparkle in amusement and anticipation and my nerves spiked that much more.
I knew what was coming and I was not happy.
I hated cold showers.
Hated them with a passion.
That’s how I knew he was really mad.
The second my bottom lip began to tremble and my eyes watered, Roman shrugged carelessly.
‘’You can cry all you want. You asked for this and I’m not gonna stand here and argue with you about it. Clothes off, get in the shower.’’ Roman said, seemingly not at all affected by my tears.
Whenever he reached that point of detachment, I knew I was in for it.
There was no amount of fighting that would stop this punishment from coming.
Sniffling, I started to reluctantly peel off my clothes.
‘’How many seconds?’’ I asked simply and he shrugged again.
‘’If I don’t have to put you in there myself, I’ll be nice and make it 10.’’ The last time he did this it was 20.
The longest 20 seconds of my fucking life.
I knew better than to test him on this.
I was sobbing by the time we reached the shower and I let out a squeal when the cold water hit my skin.
Roman watched it all with that same cool and detached expression and I felt myself getting angry all over again.
I was smart enough not to let him have it in this moment, though.
I definitely didn’t want to have to make it 20 seconds underneath the ice-cold spray.
When Roman turned the dial and the water suddenly became warm, I sobbed again.
Only this time, I sobbed with relief, thankful for Roman’s small gesture of mercy.
I knew his mercy wouldn’t last long, though…
~~
I watched as Roman rubbed his hands together and he paced the room, contemplating just what he should do with my bratty ass tonight.
The warm lighting in his playroom along with the silky ropes he used to tie my hands and feet which felt soft on my skin, made that fuzzy feeling in my head intensify.
I was a little embarrassed that my resolve was already slipping slightly after he made me take that ice-cold shower.
So, of course, to make up for it, I let some of that light and defiant amusement return to my features.
One look at my amused gaze had Roman walking over to me and gripping my chin roughly, giving me no choice but to look him in the eye.
‘’Something funny, you little brat?’’ His voice rumbled.
I chuckled despite wanting to buckle underneath his gaze.
I needed this and he knew it.
He knew me well enough to know that I was in the last few bouts of brattiness and it was only a matter of time before I became a floaty, blubbering mess and I couldn’t wait for him to take me there.
‘’You.’’ I replied.
Roman’s tongue snaked out to flick over his bottom lip, and I followed it with my eyes before I looked up at him again.
‘’You’re not gon’ be so amused in a bit.’’ He smirked, and I could see the sadist in him delighting in the possibilities of what he could do to me.
Saying nothing more, I watched Roman survey the row of floggers and I held my breath while he made his choice.
The second he reached for a thin-tailed flogger; my stomach bottomed out.
Fuck, this was gonna sting like a bitch… shitshitshit.
After the first hit, I gave him the last bit of fight I had left even though the sensation of the flogger’s tails hitting my skin felt like a cigarette being put out against my skin.
‘’Hngh!... all that fuckin muscle, and that’s the best you could do, Joe?’’ I mocked once the pain ebbed slightly.
Roman twirled the flogger and gave me two, more intense hits as a response.
‘’You wanna say that again?’’ he asked, daring me to respond.
‘’Cmon! Don’t you lift dudes for a fuckin’ living? Weeeeak,’’ I said, feigning complete boredom.
I laughed as Roman brought the flogger back down to his side.
I could see how much he was enjoying this despite his simmering gaze.
He gave me a few more lashings for good measure before he reached for a vibrating wand.
‘’You’re punishing me with orgasms?! Oh no!!” I exclaimed, giggling as he turned on the toy.
I had a half a mind to grow a bit nervous again at the smirk on Roman’s face, but still I faced him defiantly.
‘’From what Jey told me, you didn’t wanna go to bed. And even though you’ve done nothing but disrespect us both tonight, Imma be nice. Imma make sure you get some sleep tonight...’’ He purred with mock gentleness as he brought the toy to my soaking wet pussy.
Roman made me come relentlessly and my back arched against the feeling, searching for more.
But after a while, I was starting to regret my defiance.
Every mind-numbing orgasm now started to feel like pins and needles against my pussy along with the occasional sting of the flogger as Roman brought down on my skin every so often, and my gaze became unfocused as my mind got hazier and hazier.
‘’Please, I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please, Sir…’’ I sobbed, finally addressing Roman the way I should and trying desperately to get away from the buzzing toy, but Roman persisted.
‘’Gimme one more,’’ he murmured, his eyes watching my every move.
I shook my head adamantly and let out another hiccupping sob.
‘’I can’t- please, I wanna-‘’ I gulped before continuing my pleading, but to no avail. ‘’ I wanna apologize to Jey! Please…’’
‘’Gimme one more and I’ll get him over here.’’ Roman commanded and finally, I let go once more.
My body trembled viciously as I climaxed again and through bleary eyes, I watched Roman smirk in delight.
‘’Good girl. See? You’re alright, babygirl.’’ He said softly, his features seamlessly melting into something softer once we both finally got what we needed from each other.
I let out soft hiccups as Roman finally untied me and brought me close against his broad chest.
His warmth was absolutely heavenly, and it slowly made my racing heart and mind settle into something calmer.
‘’You did so well, babe. Let’s get you in the bath and then I’ll send for Jey, alright?’’ Roman crooned, rubbing my back in soft, soothing circles.
I could only sniffle and give Roman a nod in response and I let him cross over to the bathroom to start the warm bath.
As soon as the warm water and scent of lavender hit my senses, I sighed happily.
A little while later, I was back in the guest room with a fluffy white robe wrapped around my body and under the thick duvet.
My muscles and my mind felt weightless.
But with a clearer mind came the gut-wrenching realization that I was horrible to Jey.
I knew that this was just how we played and that he didn’t really take any of it personally.
But I loved Jey and coming out of that bratty headspace almost always left me feeling a bit crappy until he eased my worries again.
That crushing feeling only grew when Jey finally peeked his head into the guest room.
Wordlessly, I outstretched my arms, reaching out to my boyfriend and I let out a sob as he easily complied and got under the covers with me.
‘’Joe said you had something you wanted to say to me…’’ Jey said, bringing me close to his chest.
But I lifted my head, wanting to look him in the eye when I said what I needed to say.
‘’I’m sorry I was so mean to you, J.’’ I sobbed softly.
I nuzzled against Jey’s touch as he gently wiped my tears and kissed my forehead.
‘’Thank you for saying you’re sorry, baby… I know. You gonna listen to me next time? You know I just want the best for my baby, right?’’ Jey asked while he tenderly held my chin.
At my affirmative nod, Jey gave me a soft kiss that I gladly reciprocated.
‘’Promise!’’ I swore…

idk if these are wild but im going from the soul here
dirk and farah sometimes excercise together not often cause farah prefers working out alone (look dirk has to be maintaining those arms somehow)
todd wants tattoos but cannot commit to a design
both brotzmans have made questionable choices to their hair and the other makes endless fun of it (todd has probably gone bleach blonde before and amanda has drunk-cut hers)
amanda at some point broke into todds place and hid a bunch of those creepy mini baby figures (yknow where you can get a pack of like 200) and hid them all over his home (hes still getting terrorised)
dirk and amanda know an uncomfortable amount about eachother and in turn it makes everyone else uncomfortable (mostly todd- which eggs amanda on) they have little to no boundaries
theres a betting pool on when dirk and todd get together (gripps won- hes good with dates and numbers)
dirk doesnt know any of the rowdies names and he does not care to ask
couple of nsfw ones
after the piercing fic, amanda def went ahead and got a shit ton of piercings, including inspo from dirk for one (she would ok she fucking would)
dirk offhand mentions going to several orgies and the comment doesnt register to todd until many hours later (dirk will never elaborate)

Hi!! You totally don't know me at all, I'm a complete stranger >:) And I'd love to hear about Jim's mental world!!
HI ok so erm this is mostly just gonna be a mess of rambles and vague ideas smushed together barely in order but
Tumblr media
(old/outdated concept sketch, but it's a good start)
for starters, the prime issue(s) to help resolve in his mental world (or this version at least) is jim's fear of burdening his friends and family, and his resistance to reaching out for help, as much as he really needs it. it doesn't get too deep into his trauma, it's just giving jim the push he needs to seek out help again
after jim's recent divorce with bettie, he's been trying to give his family "some space to process" ...which didn't take long to sink back into old self isolation habits. he's been putting his all into his job to repress and distract from everything else going on with him, and it doesn't seem like it'll work for very much longer
first area in his mind is a boring + extremely tiny office room, the other cubicles are all empty and open except for jim's, which has a big metal door attached to the entrance. you can try and talk to him or ask him things, but it won't get you much . he insists he's happier in there really !! its so nice and safe hes fine :) its ok :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
when asked why he's locked in, he'll insist it's for his own safety, saying some vague stuff while the clairvoyance hints become even more obvious. when you use clairvoyance on him, his POV shows the cubicle door and everywhere around it surrounded by nightmares clawing and staring at him from the other side. (something something these are all just his own perception of things and he's really not in danger)
afterwards, his dialogue tree gets pretty short and limited, leaving raz to explore !! there's a few doors you can interact with, one being just a simple archetype-required door with a little collectible or somethin. the other is an old n dusty storage closet filled with memory vaults piling up to the ceiling. you can't really interact with any of those individually, (maybe some raz line along the lines of "i can't punch through all those :( ") but there's one or two real ones that just seem to have completely mundane and normal memories inside. weird! cuz with cpstd n trauma memory loss/repression, it can repress a lot more than what's necessary
there's one last door to try, leading out into the next phase ! raz says goodbye to jim, and jim happily waves back as the door shuts n locks behind raz, and the hallway distorts and extends, distancing raz away too :( sorta like the effect in the pn2 office construct !! im taking a lot of inspo from that world tbh heehe except for the obvious yknow. dental stuff
the next phase is kind of a messy stub for now, still sorting n planning out everything in my head lol but it's called Jim's Judgement
it centers more around jim's trauma and Issues TM and a lot of it is more vague concepts than any real gameplay ideas for the more dark story elements bc i don't want raz to have to see that and like to think after raz gets him a head start, he gets into actual professional Psychonauts therapy (and for my own silly oc/canon interaction fun, its sasha and milla assigned to help him. perhaps. maybe. they almost assigned oleander but he yelled too much and scared him away /hj) ANYWAY!!
all that being said i honestly have 0 ideas how to tone shit down for raz and im still trying to plan out the smaller in-game per se variation on it so i will simply. wait to talk about it. there's a lot of cool symbolism and motifs i prommy i swear </3 but the main "boss fight" final moment thing surrounds his whole paranoia of being a horrible person who others only tolerate + he constantly has to "make up for it" by putting everything and everyone Before him. i really wanna end it back in the small office space with jim having the key on his desk this whole time, making it literally In His Hands to get himself out. he just needed the support! he's definitely scared and slow, but he opens the door and steps out of his cubicle. the room grows a little bit. its a start
i was gonna ramble more about the darker version of the second phase but this post is already gettin Long and kinda incoherent i think so ermm. ill split it off into a second post probably if anyones interested in hearing more . i hope this all made sense lol i have too many thoughts about him to keep together honestly

cutting it soo close to the wire oopsie but i'm here!! 2023 is out, 2024 is in. also in: your december reading update? did you hit 50 books read? what are your 2024 reading goals, anything that suprised you about your 2023 reading other than falling in love with Dennis Cooper?
I read 12 books last month man it was a blur!!
Tumblr media
ok there's just too many for me to indulge in any rambling so I'm gonna try and keep things short n sweet
Nana Vol. 1-3 by Ai Yazawa - I was never really into manga growing up but this is like exactly the type of story and style I wanna wrap myself up in always!! so much fun!! the rumors are true, I love a roommate story!!! I read each one in a single sitting so I wanna pace myself thru the rest of the series so that I don't spoil + finish it all at once </3
Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury - honestly not as fantastical as I was expecting for some reason but it reminded me of Coraline which was fun! I could see Neil Gaiman getting inspo from this (edit: literally just looked it up and yes Gaiman indeed cites him as a direct influence yup yup)
Out of Time by Samira Azzam - something almost Steinbeck-like in these vignettes of everyday life in a very culturally-specific way that I really enjoy. really insightful introduction that mentioned how although most her stories didn't explicitly mention Palestine, they still were recognizable as a Palestinian existence + therefore shaped a sort of Palestinian consciousness for readers that were often blocked from accessing their own culture in academic settings
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison - I can't believe it took me this long to read something by Toni Morrison / that I never read her in any English classes?? like she seems so foundational to the grand scheme of American literature.... ridiculous! so phenomenal and gripping and darker than I expected. not just an engrossing story but also a really intentional and haunting use of language that really sinks you into that world/shifting perspectives
Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood by Ibtisam Barakat - this is like the only Palestinian book my local library has (shameful!) so I checked it out on a whim and was so surprised at what an amazing memoir this is!!! touching and vibrant and left me so eager to read her follow-up memoir based around her teenage years. I feel like this is a great introduction to Palestinian literature in general bc while it does (obviously) tie in the history and reality of occupation, the amount of love & detail given to the everyday things - merely going to school or playing with her brothers - was so enlightening and relatable
Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris - the first/main story, SantaLand Diaries, is still one of my favorites - I love stories about odd jobs + boy does Sedaris have so many tales to tell about those!! reread this in one sitting before I sent it off to a friend who seems to find herself in a new odd job each year so I figured she'd resonate
Gaza in Crisis and On Palestine by Noam Chomsky & Ilan Pappé, edited by Frank Barat - 2 separate books but I'll talk about them together since they're companion pieces. surprisingly accessible, probably due to the format of essays mixed with interviews. On Palestine echoed a lot of the sentiments of Gaza in Crisis so I'd recommend On Palestine for a sort of "updated" version (and in my opinion, more thorough). a good stepping stone for some of the meatier/more history-dense books on my TBR
Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel - yknow the thing about recipe bloggers who will intersperse their super personal life story into the recipe? this is like a whole book of that it's kinda iconic... honestly a little juvenile and ridiculous at times but I had a fun + have made hot chocolate every single day since reading this which literally wasn't even one of the recipes included/the title itself comes from like 1 short part towards the end but still... Ms. Esquivel's impact... the movie adaptation was really well done too, captured the magical realism surprisingly well without making things look hokey + Man I just love food in film!!!
Good Sense & the Faithless by Michelle T. Clinton - beautiful sexy thoughtful angry hopeful healing.... I really love her and I'm glad I ended the year with this!!
YES I surpassed by goal which honestly did surprise me bc if you recall I sliced my 50 down to 36 a few months ago because 50 didn't seem feasible at the time, but I guess the lesson is to never underestimate winter reading!! still I'm playing it safe and declaring 40 as my 2024 goal... for now.... a few weeks ago I made a little reading syllabus for the year where each month is a different theme (except for january + august to give myself some time to get the wiggles/impulsive reads out ya know) and I mostly sourced from books I already own or books in my TBR so I'm really excited to have more structure to my reads + actually get through some of the books in my ever-growing TBR!! shameful and embarrassing that it's nearly at 1k books like GOD just READ them, woman!!! I think I'm also surprised at how many graphic novel collections I read (3!) which maybe shouldn't be that surprising bc I always have a good time with graphic novels but I think these particular reads opened the door to a buncha different authors and artists and literary circles which ofc I'm always grateful for! yay reading!!

I need to know more about Michael's mom... Is she a cool mom?
SHE IS A VERY COOL MOM janet afton you will always be famous. to me
Im taking this as a chance to finally ramble abt her anyways so Janet's core inspo when designing her was to avoid 2 key things. Don't make her like Immortal & Th Restless's Clara (due to clara representing michael, not mrs afton, so i wanted to avoid that), and don't base her too heavily off of Ballora. I still have ties to Ballora's character (a music-based theme, blue-centric colour palette, im sure there were more basic ideas but everything else is more hc than themes to keep up) due to my hc thingy of each Funtime having ties to William's wife + kids, but yknow.
But yeah. Funky lady who played bass guitar + did backup vocals in a band during her high school and college years. Literally her and William dating can be summed up by "Seriously, what do you see in that guy?!" "He makes me laugh." bc she was and is WAY out of his goddamn league. Not just bc of the whole serial killer thing he was just an even bigger loser in college. Normal people dont develop a crush on a woman after she nearly breaks your nose and makes you bleed, William /j
But yeah uhh. I also dont like the idea of her being absent or neglectful purely because I got way too attached to her (i was originally gonna do that just to make things easy for myself but. Pretty lady,,, I am a very simple lesbian what can i say) so like. She obviously wasnt the greatest, most fantastic mom to ever exist given she was kinda maybe sorta well aware William was making some weird fucking clowns, but like. Hey. She tried. Also side note my reasoning for her being absent during the whole. Yknow. '83 event (and just evan's bday in general) is bc Evan + Elizabeth are twins and Elizabeth demanded a girls-only trip for her bday, and Janet promised Evan she'd do something just as special for him when she got back. That never happened bc he died lmao loser /j
But yeah uhh. Shes got a lot of regrets. Wishes she coulda done a lot of things better. Kinda dies with those regrets. Ive seen people say that one of fnaf's charms is that no character is 100% good and i LOVE that, and wanted to keep it up with Janet. Good mom and overall a good person, however made some bad decisions along the way and whatnot.
Im still working out specifics (ive been slowly working on a lil private fic abt her and william meeting + their early relationship) but uhhh. Minor notes that dont get their own paragraphs is that William sampled her voice for Ballora so yay easy voice claim, she had an on and off relationship with her band's lead singer (her name's Bev), her birth name is actually Janice Schmidt but if you call her Janice she'll knock at least 2 of ur teeth out, she's a runaway teen and got adopted by this older couple bc her home life kinda sucked (idk specifics yet), and also girlie has an extensive criminal record of minor angsty teen type charges. Also teen Mike dying his hair and then 2020's Michael's hairstyle are both kinda references to Janet's hair because he wnated to look less like his father. Thats all ty. No read more bc you WILL look at my mrs afton post, boy /j
Actually no theres more that im remembering as i write the tags and edit a few details. Back to her and William because god im insane about them. So for starters it. Well i was gonna say Janet was def the first to flirt but i think William definitely developed a crush first and they only kept talking bc of said crush so its kinda up for debate. Anyways yeah at first it was a HUGE sorta like "Well he's funny especially when I fluster him so this can be just a fun lil thing" but because they chatted more they def kinda like. Clicked more. William was a huge fan of listening to her music (from. a distance. he looked kinda like a creep but at least janet only misinterpreted it once) but like *specifically* janet he didnt give a fucking shit abt the rest of the band. Uhh. They had their first run-in and janet kinda. Well. Punched him in the nose before he cleared up that he is NOT a pervert or anything weird like that (bc a guy that looks older than he is staring from a distance when there is a clear crowd he could join kinda gave janet the Wrong idea), then they later bumped into each other in the hall and chatted for a bit, then they kinda just kept "accidentally" running into one another. Uhhh. Some cigaerette-themed flirting and a house party later, yay dating :] can you tell where the current cut-off of the fic is /j Also idk how to put this down properly but they are both runaways and can kinda. Get that vibe from one another. Literally Michael is like some fucked up abomination of the both of them between the troubled past + weird situationship thing + runaway stuff + a lot of minor details that arent important rn. I just. Yeah Janet means the world to me go thru her tag on my blog for some art. Not all of my janet art is posted but the non-posted stuff is all concept work/doodles or just. Shit im too embarrassed to post lmao. Anyways NOW im done ty for reading

HNN hello i absolutely adore your relationship with sam :(( it actually makes me hope that i'll get to have that type of love one day (even if men these days aren't jjk/aot/and kny men ☠️)
i was also wondering if the angst you were writing was done? (like phanta for example) because I REALLY WANNA CRY TO A FIC AGAIN!!!
ive been eyeing phanta for so long and im treating it like im racking up episodes until its completed, then ill watch it yknow?
also this is weeks of built up courage and curiousity, but i was wondering if you still remember me and back when i was uhh hiraethdesires? 🧍🏻‍♀️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THAT AND IVE BEEN WANTING TO SHARE MY NAILS TO YOU BECAUSE I SWORE I SAW YOU HAVE PRETTY NAILS IN ONE SELFIE POST YOU DID
Awww bestie, thank you!! Sam is a good egg, and I’m very lucky to have him. That said, (and I know people roll their eyes when they hear this but it’s true!!) you tend to find love where/when you least expect it. I didn’t expect to fall in love with the man in gold underwear streaking across a stage during a Rocky Horror shadow cast production but here we are.
As for angst/Phantasmagoria — yes, Phanta is complete! All three parts are done. I cried while writing it and some have said they cried reading it, so if that’s up your alley, then have fun!
Both Netherwood and The Great War, once ready, will also contain angst.
And finally
I ADORE YOUR NAILS?? OMG??? I’ve been wanting to do something like that recently, so I might use you as inspo 👀👀
Also WYM DO I REMEMBER YOU?? YES OF COURSE I DO.

May I ask for a fic of Venti dragging Scara to dance with him during a outdoor festival in Mondstadt while Diluc makes a comment from the side lines they seem closer than one assumed? Maybe with some inspo from Ed Sheeran Galway Girl or Nancy Mulligan?? And maybe with some background Childe x Lumine or whoever you ship him with???
this ones gonna be a short one but I like it
----
The Windblume festival was in full swing in Mondstadt, its archon was no stranger to the festival and loved to celebrate with his people, this year was just a tiny bit different, considering that he had a date~
“Venti, you don't have to drag me! I can walk fine on my own!” The former fatui harbinger complained
Venti laughed, “You tripped over air earlier-”
“That was a one-time thing that you agreed to never mention!” Scaramouche retorted
The bard smiled, “You said you wanted to enjoy the Windblume festival, and getting there earlier than others is a good way to start!”
Scaramouche rolled his eyes, “So you decided to prod me awake at 6 am?”
He nervously laughed, “I mean, yeah! You do live in Springvale! So it takes a while to get to the city.”
“It takes fifteen minutes.” The puppet pointed out
The two eventually made it to Mondstadt city, music was playing, people were dancing and drinks were flowing from both taverns in Mondstadt,
Venti smiled at his city's happiness, “So, what would you like to do first, ‘Mouche?”
Scaramouche shrugged, “I mean, this is your city, these are your people. You should know what's best, shouldn't you?”
The anemo archon nodded in agreement, “I mean, I suppose so…This is your first time in Mondstadt though so I want you to have fun rather than my version of fun.” Scaramouche sighed, kissing his lover on the cheek, “Being with you is all the fun I need. I don't care if it involves dancing, drinking, singing, or poetry.”
Venti blushed, “Oh, thank you! Being around you is a lot of fun too!” Venti seemed rather awkward now, not because he didn't enjoy Scaramouches affectionate words its because he wasn't very used to it.”
Venti looked around, “Well, how about we go sit down over there near the Angels Shares stall? We can sit and chat and I can get some of their wine! It's very good this time of year!”
The bard smiled, taking Scaramouches hand, “I know you’re not the biggest fan of alcohol though, so I can always get you some cider.”
Scaramouche gave Venti's hand a squeeze, “Thanks, sweetheart.” The two made it over to the Angels Shares booth and sat down at a table, Diluc, the owner of the Angel's Share, and also Dawn Winery then walked over, “You’re here rather early, Venti. I didn’t expect you to bring company.” The archon giggled, “Mhm! This is Scaramouche, my boyfriend!”
Scaramouche said nothing and just gave a quick wave to the red-headed bartender
Diluc raised an eyebrow, “That's rather surprising, isn't it?”
Venti looked confused, “How so?”
“Because he's a Fatui Harbinger, you yknow, the same group of people who took your gnosis.”
Scaramouche then butted in by saying, “I’m a former harbinger and I was never involved with taking Venti's gnosis.”
Diluc sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “Fine. Venti, I’m assuming you want wine?”
Venti nodded, “Indeed! And ‘Mouche will have some apple cider.”
Diluc then walked off and started making the drinks, leaving Scaramouche and Venti alone at their table
“Dilucs not a bad guy, honest. He’s just wanting to keep Mondstadt safe.”
The puppet let out a soft chuckle, “Oh, I understand, that's not the part that's funny.”
Venti tilted his head, “What do you mean?”
Scaramouche pointed to a table a few feet away, “Childe is right there with his husband.” Venti's eyes widened, “Holy shit! Thats Morax! That old blockhead told me he was married but I didn't think he meant to your co-worker!”
Scaramouche smiled, “Yeah. apparently, Morax is pregnant too, I didn’t even know he could do that.”
“All archons can have babies, and I can too if you’re curious~” Venti winked, making Scaramouche light up like a Christmas tree
“I-I…uhm- I mean, I want a family with you but that was so unexpected…”
Venti laughed, “I know, I know. I just wanted to tease you.”
The two eventually got their drinks and happily sipped away and enjoyed a loving conversation. Eventually, the sky started to light up with stars and Venti looked at Scaramouche with a grin, standing up and extending his hand to him, “Will you dance with me?” Venti asked
Scaramouche blushed but grabbed Venti's hand, “Always…”
The two happily danced together for what seemed like forever, some of the other event-goers stopped and watched the couple as they danced like they were floating on air. Venti always liked to dance, either it be outside or at home, they’d always ballroom dance and it was always one of their favorite things to do together.” 
Venti rested his head on Scaramouches shoulder, “I love you more than you could ever imagine.”
Scaramouche gave him a kiss on the head, toying with his braids, “I love you too, Venti. Thank you for giving a puppet like me a heart.”
Venti reciprocated the kiss, “And thank you for warming my tired heart, you’re the first person and only person I’ve ever wanted to call mine.”
Scaramouche spoiled Venti in kisses as they continued to dance, “You’re so special to me, my dear bard, my sunshine, love of my life, my sun, my moon, my star…”
The two danced and danced with only two weak streetlights and the moon illuminating them as they waltzed.
Scaramouche got down onto one knee causing everyone there to gasp, including Venti
“My beloved, you have done so much for me, more than I deserve. You fell in love first, you confessed first, you hugged me first, you kissed me first…so, I wanted to do something first. For you.”
Scaramouche and Venti both began to have tears running down their cheeks, “Venti, will you marry me?”
Venti tackled and hugged Scaramouche, almost knocking the ring from the man's hand, “Yes! Yes! I love you so much! I’d love to marry you!”
When they stood up, Venti was helping get the dirt off of Scaramouches clothes, and then Scaramouche dipped him and kissed his lips, which made everyone, in the now relatively large crowd, cheer loudly.
The two didn't pay attention to the cheers, they were lost in their own world, and not even Celestia could destroy that world. Venti held Scaramouche tight and said,
“You know, I’ve always wanted to wear a veil.”

can we see your sbr Giorno's friends?
yknow i was gonna just draw Gio with maybe one or two of the ideas for lil buddies she'd have and talk about them a bit
but per usual I went over the top and drew her a whole main group of friends so here you hope this is what you wanted
Tumblr media
a solid lil group of five that vary in how much iv fleshed them out,, i just have for sure i wanted a lil Lisa Lisa type lady to be in Gios group, and settled on all of them being named after Renaissance paintings and painters.
I dont have much thought out in the ways of them meeting one another or any goals for them, or stand abilities or much of that. But know that these guys are FRIENDS and can fit SO many issues in them <33
I do think giving it a more p4 storyline kinda vibe thats more center to one small area problem and being on the more slice of life style of story telling could be fun...
Tumblr media
Mona, the oldest of this lil rag tag group, meant to be a lot like a Lisa Lisa type for the group ^^
im thinking shes the only non stand user of their group but mm debating it truly. I imagine a more focus on her character as one of the last of the guards to be full tried in spin for this use. if she had a stand to any degree it be like gyro where its hardly a thing.
I also do like the idea of her having history or forming a connection with Jorge with him being a reoccurring character through Giorno as the two grew up kinda distant but fairly close none the less form of cousins to one another.
Tumblr media
Taking, obviously a bit of inspo from the Pucci's on this one. Floridian man struggles with microaggressions on multiple different fronts, loses faith in god and struggles to figure out how to see the good in life.
I dont know much of what i wanna do with his stand but Daisy did suggest an invisibility facet to them,,, potentially thinking to take some inspo from portal on this one specifically with the slime they introduce with being able to build up speed or make bouncy floors and stuff, something along those lines but a lil more built up,,,
Tumblr media
very silly wild girl kinda character, a real richy rich philanthropist type. All talk, wouldnt know how to handle herself if things went wrong for her for even a second.
i have NO idea what to do with her stand ability I just really like the idea of it being made out of fashion magazine clippings (again ty Daisy for such a baller suggestions)
Tumblr media
Of course theres our protag main girl, Giorno. Daughter of Diego and Hot Pants. Named after Diegos mother's maiden name. Very much meant to be like a mixture of P5 Giorno and Trish. Giorno whos a lil louder and meaner and has a bit of a more broken moral compass most of the time but is just more or less broken as a person who cant seem to be able to snuff out that last little golden light in her heart that tells her to do good.
Her stand Born to be, which is the name I think I'm 100% settling on for it... im still not 100% sold on what I exactly want its power to be, but I am thinking it would be like a "healer" type stand of the group and having a "mending" like ability with being able to patch anything together or treat any material like fabric and sew it to other materials like a brick wall to clothing fabric. or sewing parts of concrete together to make a wall... just throwing some ideas at the wall, seein what sticks.
Tumblr media
And! last and youngest member of the group, Venus. A bit of a loner who has suddenly found herself glued to Gios click and cant seem to figure out why shes so terribly fascinated with being around them. Yes Mona is teaching her spin and Gio is like a russian doll with layers she wants to unwrap, but she doesn't need to hover around them everyday for that... So she's kinda wonder what the deal with that is? is it? a sense of found family??? or?? something? gross..
As for her stand i again dont have anything set in stone beyond it being able to do stuff with technology, maybe like an old school paisy park kinda beast. maybe something to do with noises,,,
I do like the idea of Venus learning spin from Mona and Venus using it like a dog toy for Atomic dog and playing fetch with it as a way to incorporate her stand ability with her spin ability.

Was practicing on drawing Yao Chen so I can draw Jiu Gong. I will now make it official that she has a cat mouth when she smiles, just the way her upper lip curves and the edges go upwards yknow.
Also new rarepairing I thought of while reading dorkshadows "From here the Rain Falls". Am I the only one who sees some chemistry from these two?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And yes, Zhu Bajie's human design is from frozenladybug 's version. But I also tried to take inspo from his human disguise in the movie and his actor , but did my best to tweak it up a bit to fit his personality.
I swear I ship them But I kinda like them being silly and savage with each other. Also the tension is 10/10. Jiu Gong really brings out Bajie's conniving ways. They trynna make each other worst.Thats their dynamic. That one freaky couple down the block and always the main event during parties.
✨Also Human/Modern AU headcanons for them:
Bajie owns a huge club in the sleazy corners of the city.
Hes associates with Jiu Gong who is a DJ , both in radio broadcasting and actual dj-ing in clubs. He's the one who helped her in getting famous by hiring her when she was just starting.
(thought of her being a DJ to reference her time as minister being hedonistic ,bringing excessive fun and joy and all)
Shes getting pretty good in her career, record label offers, has a hefty fanbase and gets big gigs like music festivals, guesting in concerts, even collabs with artists.
And throughout her progress , Bajie's club seems to rise into popularity too thanks to her. After Jiu left his club for more opportunities she thought of sharing a 30% of her earnings to him for a year.
Bajie jumped at the opportunity in extra leverage head on.
She been in a steady relationship with Bajie for a good 3 years throughout.
That means she also sidelines in his club from time to time as a guest. Both are quite business minded and good at bullshitting their way to success.
Not really live in partners, but they both visit each others apartments. For the sake of discretion from the paparazzi (in Jiu's case) and for Bajie's anonimity.
Also Bajie sometimes anonymously guest calls in Jiu's radio channel just to mess with her. I think that also led to Bajie confessing about his feelings but keeps chalking it up (Jiu aint stupid and already knows where this is going). Jiu just plays along with it since she's at work. Altho they definitely confronted when she was off duty.
I like to think they are similar to these pairings:
Seth x Amber (Metalocalypse)
Val x Buttons (Red Flags song animation by galoogamelady)
And Team Rocket

hihi! sorry this is a bit late I want to get back on my pc for this
1. oh damn I have multiple favorites! I think ones that I enjoy the most (at the moment) are them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(yellow: Lee Harrison | blue: Bryan Dickinson)
they are basically a (in the 2000s) newbie punk band formed by two friends who are like brothers to each other. they bonded over both having not so great families (not like tragic-backstory awful but yknow. the average traditional family)
yeah I still can't figure out what their band name would be. yeah since 2020. sorry. such is life.
while they're not the ones I've wrote the most about, as in not much at all, I just really like them :)
2. Bartholomew. I used to like him then I realize how generic he is so I hate him now (/j) (yeah I actually do want to post about him less though)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. been thinking about the dynamic normal human x immortal who finds them in every life. so simple and common but I go insane over it every time. I think it would be fun
4. ohohohoho man ok here are some in no particular orders
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Time & Denial core, Denial/Dan (black hair, also the last image) is by @/ akamavarii
they were basically our coresonas, but they've became their own characters at this point so I think it counts
friends who commits OSHA violations together!!!
they share 1 brain cell and takes turns over it like an Xbox (quote from ami himself)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Iandithas & Lumeous (if you noticed one of the name changed its bc I did)
a bard & a wizard duo who are retired and are now a shopkeeper & a chemist
its funny I care about them this much bc Lumeous was supposed to be a dad and a side character to my other oc and Iandithas was a doodle of a random guy and now they mean the world to me
there have been like 5 people who pointed out that they look like a couple and you're right and I fucking hate that you're right. and they were roommates etc
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overseer / Conqueror
this one is new very obviously but I've been thinking about them for a LONG while.
friends to lovers to enemies heehoo heehoo heehoo heehoo heeh
can you tell I like it when queer relationships
5. Fakzky HAS to have my favorite origin. fun fact there's a bot on facebook that would combine the names of their followers (only if they request, don't worry) and it was my source of inspo for my fantroll names in 2020, Fakz is the only one I took completely from it and the post is still there!
Tumblr media
6. the 35 awesome and cool animatics that exists in MY mind
7. oh man I don't wanna say something sad :( mostly bc I'm bad at it and it would sound cringe :(
8. I have a plague doc oc and she has 3 pet rats ^_^ they're all named after murderers from the bible but yeah whatever
Tumblr media
(Dias Cain Jael in that order btw)
9. hmmm them I think. I make stuff about them way less nowadays but still draw them time to time. Cath is from 2018 and funnily is originally a fusion of two characters. and Danya is from early 2021 when I was just trying stuff out. I made them friends just cuz I think they look like they would do drugs together
Tumblr media
10. I have no idea man I created them not know them (I am so so bad at this)

Top 5 video games!
AAH WASH HIIII!! thank you for the ask!!
ok these are in no particual order! not sure how coherently I can word but I will try my best!! this will be a long post- so you can find it under the cut!!! I have a lot to say about my fave viddy games (and i am not sorry~) but I am sorry for spelling errors- my brain can not keep up with my thoughts and i want to get everything down and everything goes to mush :////
METAL GEAR SOLID 2 (2001)
long before cp2077 was the main source of brainrot- metal gear solid was the main source. I picked up mgs as a series when I was at university in my second year and then would not stop talking about it to my friends (one of which played the games when they came out!!).
the art of yoji shinkawa (see his work below) becoming a source of inspo to my drawing / painting practice (it may not look like it at times -but- it's there- a lot of my old worl had very paintily lines- using a ink brush in procreate ect! maybe i will post some old art one day )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(...there was also a point where I was doing weird perfomance art where I just stuck a cardboard box on my head and called it a day- hrrng.,.. just a box?!) oh.. how i miss being a student <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
BUT ANYWAY!!! MGS2 is my fave in the series- this is due to the character design- the character design altered my brain chemisty in the best way-- the art design- colours/mood- the greens the blues- also the soundtrack- ugh it's so good. (i also had/still have the biggest crush on solid snake- husband time... also olga gurlukovich.. my dear wife ugh she she her)
OH MY GOD WAIT- WAIT- another thing about mgs 2 and it's character design- THEY GAVE OLGA BODY HAIR- yes, i know thats quite a random thing to say, but, I feel like for the time the game being released- it was progressive(?) like- in games even today- most women are like - super models ? idk how to word but- it was so empowering to see Olga like that- she is an icon and i feel empowered when i see her! <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. MASS EFFECT 3 (2012)
The mass effect trilogy is a series thats so close to my heart- I picked the games up during the tranistion period between covid lockdowns and coming out of lockdown.graduating from uni- finding a job- screaming to the void- yknow- adulting- no more being a art student-UGH !!
a friend of mine from uni gave me the og ps3 box set at christmas 2020 (because i only had a ps3 at the time)... for me to play over christmas between term one and term two of my final year of uni... gaming got me thru a lot of hard times then-... actually skipped me1 because it was clunky and made me want to cry- went straight to me2 (after reading all the lore of me1) and then went into me3 blind.. god i was not ready - cried my heart out so much
Mass effect 3 is my fave in the trilogy because of the characters! also like with mgs 2- the soudtrack! also also! being able to create shepard to look how I wanted her to look- YES VERY GOOD-VERY NICE! I loved playing the whole trilogy- but ME3 has a place in my heart for real. - the build up to it- the feeling of impending doom - trying to get all your squad to trust shep- the citadel dlc!!! aaAHHHHH LOVE <33
EDI is my best girl- my best girl indeed!!! I see a lot of myself in her. How she grows and evolves over time0 how she learns and understands her worth. She brings me a lot of endless joy.
Tumblr media
I got to play the full trilogy when it came out as a remastered bundle. The trilogy got me through a rough few months- I had got me first "real job" and it was a hard few months- but coming home and playing mass effect brought me joy ! I do need to do a re run of the trilogy for the purposes of vp and gif making- I do miss my beloved Zachary Shepard! (some screenshots of her below! on the left- me1 vs me3!! she grows- evolves- cuts her hair and gets ready to kick reaper ass!!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fun fact: I have two mass effect art books! one of the books being a book that was only released with a game guide which came out in 2007.. the other being a big chunky book with SOOOO MUCH STUFF IN IT EE... both of which i paid for with money from my first "real job" (which i only lasted three months in- but dhdhdd it's ok-)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. DRAGON AGE INQUISITION (2014)
DAI was THE GAME that got me into gaming/ made me realise I was a gamer. I picked up the game around the same time I picked up the mass effect trilogy- maybe a bit later.. was playing on the ps3 (and it ran like it was running on a toaster or a pottato) it froze every 20 mins and none of the character models looked any good... but i loved it still- yes I couldn't play any of the dlc at the time but it did not matter- i was having the time of my life.
In 2021 I got a pc built so I could finish parts of my degree from home (bc covid and having to stay home for my health)... my pc was powerful enough to run DAI so... yknow- I got it on pc and MY GOD- I COULD RUN IT PROPERLY AND PLAY THE DLCS !!!!! the joy of running the desent for the first time, jaws of hakkon and then big boi trespasser UGH MY HEART EXPLODED !! oh my god- playing the decent for the first time and hearing david hayters voice- i YELLED SO LOUDLY- (it was like my beloved snake was back fejhdhjdhjd) playing that dlc for the first time also felt so right- so natural- my canon inquisitor, wren having connections to dwarven heritage through her father
DAI was my first adult fandom- im not actively a part of the fandom anymore- but I met some really lovely people through it (psst @virginiabackroads and @elfishtales i am looking at you <3 ) I recently got back into Dragon age by making an AU for my best girl, Viridian (... in this au she is called Viri lavellan.. or just viri!) (psst @fereldanwench im still foreveer greatful you pointed me in the right direction for modding the game!!)
Tumblr media
4. FALLOUT 4 (2015)
now.. this is a game I have yet to finish- but- I am having SO much fun !! The post nucelar setting is interesting- i'm still trying to learn the game mechanics- but it's exciting and cosy (even if i do scream when a feral ghoul comes out of nowhere and bites me!)
100% loving nick valentine- ugh I wish he were romancable... he has so much charm, like an actor in the golden age of cinema <3 I don't have a lot more to say about fallout 4, but this game is bringing me a lot of joy!! looking forward to more adventures and more modding soon!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5. CYBERPUNK 2077 (2020)
y'all knew this was coming >:) cp2077 my beloved!!!!!! yes, the game may still be broken and glitchy and there are so many things the game could do better in areas- BUT STILL- the joy this game has given me- the friends i've made though posting about the game-- everyone is so lovely!!
the oc's ive created (...viridian and rasmus- i am looking at you both) Viridian brings me confidence- (...rammbled about that here).. THE BLORBOS I'VE GOTTEN (JACKIE WELLES MY BABEEEEEEEEEEEE) - !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ugh buying cp2077 was one of the best things I did in 2022! also being brave and choosing to posting cp2077 vp on here last october/november was another best choice I did in 2022.
the words are going but- oh goodness this game and the world building- the soudtrack- the level of detail!!! cp2077 as a game changed my brain chemisty in ways- but in the good way. opening my eyes to the world of virtual photography- video game modding. it got me back into writing as well <3 Thank you all for all the love and support within the fandom space- I feel like im home <3

hmmmmmm i dunno if this is a take that's been more common these last few months or if it's just a few posts that got too popular, but i've been seeing a lot of fans who seem to enjoy... hating the dream smp? i've seen SO much stuff along the lines of "can this just end so i can stop watching it"/"x character is the only redeemable thing left"/"i don't know why i'm still here"/LOTS of writing crit that is more bullying than it is constructive
and!! well!!! i wanna counteract that!!! bc i think a lot of us have forgotten what makes the smp so special. like, remember the start of it? at a time in history when all popular media was tropey bad hollywood, or poorly written netflix, or capitalist ceos maximising on hollow rehashed uninspiring tales—when every piece of media on earth is censored or altered or otherwise made palatable—the dream smp was there. loud and bold and new—and so much FUN, dammit!! remember why we loved it? because it was fun! because it was a bunch of friends having fun! friends that weren't tied to a parent company, that weren't forced to write or say anything at all, and did it anyway—for fun, for love, for the joy of entertaining their viewers. it was silly and messy and dramatic and ripped from hamilton and breaking bad and everyone loved it, everyone put on the lmanberg skin and enchanted their gear and got ready for war. like yeah the dream smp is brilliant acting/portrayal/whatever, but we can get that anywhere else. what the dream smp had, and continues to have above all else, is that it's fun. you can tell the creators love doing it, even though they don't have to. it's got actual heart to it. people love watching it. i love watching it!! i love that it's messy and retconned and so clearly a mosaic of a dozen or so amateur writers trying to do the best they can!! i love how hard they try to make it good—seeking out inspo from fan designs, working with people outside of the cast, coming up with things they find interesting or new. and i j—the dream smp above all else to me is fun. and a lot of people seem to have lost that. it shouldnt be painful for you to watch, yknow? it shouldn't piss you off so much that you're desperate for it to end. this is a story that sprung up in the middle of some of the most dreadful events any of us ever experienced—and when it did, it made quarantine something worth remembering. and i'll always cherish that. ofc people are allowed to feel what they want to feel, but. i think we all sometimes need to remember that this silly minecraft roleplay is here to be the weird silly lovely messed up thing it is, yknow? i think we need to love it for its messiness again. i think we need to remember to have fun

peeped here out of curiosity (i know u have good takes and rb good/interesting takes + filtered words don’t work when viewing blogs and i’ve filtered every single om tag ever) and uknow what? while there’s aspects of the (supposedly) satan-focused i greatly enjoyed (mostly as writing inspo and just the enjoyment of the moment itself more than its part in the overall narrative tbh) i was endlessly frustrated by the fact that diavolo got the true highlight. i couldn’t place why the hell it made me so annoyed but you’re right—the real main character of the story was diavolo and it annoys the hell out of me that satan was painted as more of the bad guy. despite having the most screen time, satan felt like he was simply a means to an end, with the end being some way to show/remind the audience all of diavolo’s princely qualities that often get sidelines in favor of his usual behavior in events.
like. i greatly enjoyed seeing satan lose his shit to the point of terrifying crowds of demons. i liked seeing him lock himself away after to try and process everything by himself. the bits of vulnerability when mc finally manages to speak to him? love. (not that much of it is actually new info but i do enjoy that it’s there)
but the rest of everything else has me pulling at my hair. especially the ending… i wanted mc to ask for something that would be primarily to satan’s benefit after all the bullshit that happened. (and also satan thanking diavolo for giving mc his stars felt… idk. it felt like it encapsulated how a lot of the story key part felt; reminding us that diavolo’s the actual ‘hero’ here and not satan.)
ahdksjakdja so yknow. just some thoughts i wanted to send you. i didnt wanna log into my om blog even though i probably should for thoughts like this >.>;; once again a majority of my real fun came from rewriting everything, which i guess is something since almost all of the non-bday om content for the last several months hasn’t even gotten me inspired enough to bother rewriting anything.
/end yet another rant abt om content shdjssjs
hello...pretend i responded to this first /j
to validate what you mentioned, i also only enjoyed snippets of that event (though as we know, it's been like this for most obey me events for a long time); diavolo aside, witnessing satan compose himself with such sincerity and generousity felt like a blessing tbh. he knows his limits, he knows what upsets him and he should be listened to, even if he gets emotional about it. so what! most of us become emotional when defending something we hold close to our hearts, and satan was no different.
i've said this in the other ask you sent, but you came back right on time as the new lore-focused obm game has been announced! satan was one of their focal points that they mentioned, as well as lore surrounding the (pre & post) celestial realm, solomon, and the attic. it's gotten the entire fandom riled up including myself, and everything looks promising so far :)
i was wondering why the spacing between events in-game have been getting longer and longer, and i'm glad to know it's because they're putting importance on quality over quantity. they began making baby steps in the previous "single character-focused" events, but i'd like to mention that i am very satisfied with the release of simeon's new birthday event, especially when you compare it to the first one for symbolism reasons.
i won't go in-depth about it now unless someone asks me to share my thoughts, but it was the right amount of promising writing i needed to give me hope. for you specifically, satan didn't delve into any cat shenanegains and when he confronted lucifer & brought up a good point, he was acknowleged and listened to. everyone did such a good job...aaaa <3
