oh the wonder of that wild wet world

#rain world #rw rivulet #stuff i made tag #the rivulet is one of the creatures of all time. love this wet beast #we decided we didn't like the pointy fins and went back to drawing them more axolotl #our headcanons are still mostly the same - he's kind of like an otter or perhaps seal with bonus fins #and some newly added bioluminescent spots #she can't really breathe underwater but she can glow like a deep sea fish. style points 👍 #if you havent noticed by now we are he/she/they riv supporter. gender is stored in the wet mouse #also um uh ignore all the mistakes in the drawing we noticed while uploading we cant fix it now

[atissi]

i’ll be real i did kinda forget how to draw him but im back in business now

#so glad i made him a character ref because i did not fucking remember anything about how to draw mecha #i used to draw him everyday...hyperfixations are a strange beast #incidentally i was rereading some v/ikjayce last night because ive kind of been starving for. well-written fanfic. so my brain was primed #although i did do these raffle pulls a week ago so i might've been subliminally influenced.... #very proud of this one author who made like one chapter of a fic half a year ago and put in the notes that they're bad at updating #and now they're at i think 18 chapters? that's growth we love to see it #my art #league of legends #do i tag it like that. #edit: okay i used to tag it LoL which i assume isn't really conducive to tag searches #so ill just live with the shame of having a league tag #its for organizational purposes.

so I ended up watching the first two episodes of Percy Jackson with my mom because I was gonna use her Disney + account to watch it and she was like "oh I might want to watch that" which wasn't the response I was expecting but ok

anyway, I haven't read the books since literally middle school so my memory on all the little details won't be great, but so far I like it and it seems like basically what I remember from the books. my mom who also knows nothing about the books and also Greek mythology also seems to like it

#idk when I'm gonna watch more tho since now I'm kinda committed to watching it with her #but ALSO why was there a crested gecko??? #a crested gecko that is NOT what a wild type looks like???? #some kind of beast in disguise clearly #some sort of monster

"mending isn't here. the sea told me" YEAH GRIAN?

#he's a cod now. in my brain. he is some kind of fish beast

holy shit, Bungo Stray Dogs multiverse real 👀

#kind of real; sort of kind of in a way lol #im a little bit dissapointed that its basically a book world tbh #its cool though that this makes it loosely fit into the canon as well as at least 16 other worlds #makes me think of the Pooh Bear book from Kingdom Hearts 2 now that I think about it a bit more #low-key hope we see more from this AU; but i'm not counting on it #would be cool to see it animated at some point too! (I know about the live action movie btw gonna watch it later) #mine #op #osamu dazai #dazai osamu #bsd spoilers #bsd #bsd dazai #bsd beast #bungo stray dogs beast #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #atsushi nakajima #akutagawa ryuunosuke #ryunosuke akutagawa

grimmichi isekai fic. but actual isekai and not just ichigo’s casual world-hopping in brave souls. classic lit major ichigo — overworked and Suffering because he’s nearing the end of his program and his professors don’t seem to understand he works two jobs and he has to start figuring out his future because holy shit he’s an adult now — gets a visit from truck-kun and winds up in this wild fantasy world divided into warring factions, the hollow beast tamers, the holy saints, and the ruling class aka the empire of death. he incarnates into the body of Zangetsu, a mercenary with quite the fucked up lineage, and almost immediately gets on the bad side of one of the tamers’ captains, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, who may or may not be contemplating how best to let his hollow beast, Pantera, make a meal out of Ichigo.

bonus if Ichigo follows the route of some isekai MCs and tries to find a way home (his sisters are back there, dammit, he’s not leaving them) only to discover somewhere down the line that he and Zangetsu switched bodies, neither of them actually died, and Zan’s out there living his best life in the modern human world and probably traumatizing all of Ichigo’s friends

#king’s court #bleach #grimmichi #ichigo kurosaki #grimmjow jaegerjaquez #I tried writing an isekai au in my last big fandom and never finished it #but like. I think I could have a lot of fun with this #hollow beast tamer grimmjow is already taking up a lot of space in my head #nel has a little ram hollow beast that is capable of going on murderous rampages when its master is threatened #Harribel has a sea creature of some kind. thinking on it still #empire of death is the shinigami btw. saints are quincies #would I actually use this in the plot? who knows but I like the idea of it right now #I’m gonna let this stew for a while and see if it gets me anywhere

I know in traditional fairy tales people have to dramatically confess their love in order to break curses, but I think it'd be really funny if it just happened all of a sudden. No warning.

Because people aren't normally running an audible monologue of their thoughts, especially not such vulnerable ones

Also, it has SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL as a non-romantic love thing:

The person is sitting and talking to whoever's cursed, and then suddenly they realize "Oh, you're not as much of a jerk as I initially thought" Boom. Curse broken

Two people are talking a walk, and one realizes "Oh, I want you to be in my life forever. I want to always be able to take care of you" Boom. Curse broken

One of them tells a really stupid joke, and they think "I love your laugh. I love when you're happy" Boom. Curse broken

The cursed person is sick or hurt or mildly inconvenienced (I get all squirmy during dramatic death scenes, sorry) and the other one thinks "I don't want you to be in pain" Boom. Curse broken

#Especially family stuff #Because #Y'know I'm always thinking about MBS #And how so many of the characters (Especially the kids!!) feel like they're unlovable #And this kind of 'Surprise! Curse is over now!' thing feels much more genuine to me #And you wouldn't question if it was just the frantic heat of the moment as much #Because I feel like that every day #Watching someone I know put on their shoes: 'Oh! I love you' #Meeting a new friend and seeing their face light up when they're excited: 'I love you' #Being on here and seeing that one of you has posted a new idea or a story or just reblogged a silly meme thing: 'I love you' #So #There you go #Just some thoughts #((Definitely not because I was reading Beauty and the Beast AUs and it made me think of Reynie and Miss Perumal for some random reason)) #(((We're ignoring that part of my ongoing quest to make everything about found family)))

#but actually can you guys say a prayer about teaching for me? #I know it’s mostly because it’s the end of the year #but a lot of stuff is just forcing its way to the surface #and basically it’s just me struggling with my natural strengths as a teacher and the boundaries of appropriateness that are necessary #to maintain it #like first of all. the beast that is my anxiety compounds everything and makes it so scary and terrible #secondly I thought I had. Like. A total handle on all of it #Teaching and boundaries I mean #and of course I do not #and part of it is that the anxiety that always kept me within the right lines is just shifting and changing #and I’m just distanced from some of the stuff that used to keep me grounded #like my family right now! #the new adulthood is adulting! #anyway like. I am not doing anything inappropriate or close to it (sounds like I am when I deny it lol) #but I am aware in a new and newly exhausted way of the absolute dangers #of being the kind of teacher who uses all of my personality etc. to wake kids up #And make them respond #but then still have to want to need to keep certain boundaries up #And I’m trying to figure it out but of course I CAN’t Do it perfectly #and then it’s so hard when your personal life is so hard and you’ve just gone through so much change in such a fast period of time #And it just feels like everything is spinning #and your heart aches and you’re tired and you just feel like you’re right at the center of all this emotional chaos #and all these people who wanna pull you off course and get you to cross certain lines #and some of the lines are just weird and arbitrary boundaries you put up to protect yourself when you started teaching at 23 #Because you HAD to #So you can take some of them down and it’s fine but then there are some boundaries you know you need to keep up #And it’s more subtle than the black and white stuff re: appropriateness #Just the stuff that protects you and makes it easier to be the kind of teacher and influence that you want to be #and just trying to figure it all out while you’re exhausted and it’s the end of the school year #it’s just a LOT. A lot a lot

fighting off a little panic attack (yay yippee) and i'm soooooo tempted to start working on the poke!ren tag to keep myself distracted even though he's still so /gestures vaguely/ right now kJNSKJFNJK ARGH!!!!!!!

#so for now i'm catching up on some drafts while i listen to music for poke!ren inspo u_u;; #i just want to draw myself riding my bug horse next to him KJANSDKJ #i also want to start revising his team bc playing x has made me realize he's probably just kept froakie unevolved. #idk greninja never seemed like a very 'ren' pokemon... but froakie? weird little guy with a couple of hang-ups??? love that beast. #also i LOOOVE the image of him w a delibird who uses its tail to safe-keep samples or quickly deliver things to the lab #but like. in that case maybe he'd be better off just bringing a faster flying type like pidgeotto or pidgeot with a sample case attachment. #(totally not influenced by the pidgeotto currently on my team who goes by the name of a kind of mushroom. nope. nah.) #(also dw about the panic KJNAKJSN it's only Simmering. just my usual health worries!! nothing new to see here kjsdnfkjn.) #📌 [ my posts. ] #🐸 [ look ahead. ] #✏️ [ my scenarios. ] #pokemon -

i've got stuff to do tonight but i am thinking about how it absolutely fucking pains me to see the joy and energy and love of living sapped from constantine's spirit over the initial run of hellblazer. like he goes from this spirited, wisecracking, life-loving, bully-punching, fastidious little guy to a man so disintegrated by decades of grief and being used and never being good enough for anyone that he was willing to be buried alive to serve a cause he didn't even care about. thank god they gave him back some friendly connections and some semblance of hope by the end of "red right hand", because that late-hellblazer constantine was utterly unrecognizable and it broke my heart.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #now let's be real: this shift was 90% that shitbird azzarello's fault #because that loser could not BEGIN to fathom the radical kindness and open queerness of early hellblazer and he didn't even fucking try #and his writing stained the character for YEARS because so many after him continued with that Macho Quasi-Devil image #and there is a LOT of his run that i categorically refuse to take as text #but from an in-universe perspective? seeing constantine crumble over time like that? fucking Oof #the beast of eden + rosacarnis + the gift/cheryl dying were really a turning point for him. they were his last straw #and i always like to read 'red right hand' with the grieving process close to mind because that's his depression + acceptance stage #the point where he finally finds something to live for again and starts to climb back out of his spiral #anyway shoutout to si spurrier for bringing some of john's love of the little things in life back to his run bc FUCK was it some fresh air #acknowledging all his trauma and all he's lost while still giving him moments of levity? Bless #idk does any of this make sense? i've been on a reread and losing my mind as always

#Just read with my own two eyes the take that sskk dating would be illegal in Japan and like. #sorry if this sounds rude but can Twitter please start discourse over it I want to witness it so bad aksvdbksbdjsnsvsksvska #I've been giggling for the last five minutes this. unironically made my day this concept is so so funny I'm ecstatic #Like.

Would think twice about the legality of dating someone– #two (2) years younger than him???? Like THAT was the issue with dating Atsushi????????I'm hysterical #But even beyond that... I think it kinda speaks of what internet culture become– #that people started thinking dating someone two years younger than you is illegal. wtf. #It is...

i have made possibly the best purchase of my entire life

#thoughts #did you know you can find lots of things on ebay #anyway the one and only downside of having this beast in my room is now i have to rearrange my shit #so he can have somewhere to live where he isn't watching me sleep #i feel like he should have some kind of warning tag but i have no earthly clue what that should be. so. ask to tag i guess

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Black Trans Fairy Tales Series by S.T. Lynn

I swear I didn’t even realize that it’s trans awareness week when I picked this, I’d just read them recently and they’re AWESOME.

(The three books in order, as seen in my Kindle, after I read them.)

The Black Trans Fairy Tale series consists out of three fairy tale retellings, roughly eighty pages each, based specifically on the Disney version of these stories: Cinder Ella (Cinderella), Mer Made (The Little Mermaid), and Beauty’s Beast (Beauty and the Beast). While they all start out in a familiar way, the stories then quickly take their own path and go off in new and unexpected directions. 

They are written by “S.T. Lynn”, which is a pseudonym for author Tami Veldura.

At the time of writing, these books unfortunately only exist in ebook format, through Veldura’s website does list physical copies, both separately for each and for the three as an omnibus.

Aside of their website, Tami Veldura can be found in places like Instagram, and of course here on Tumblr as @tamiveldura.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

#that's right I can check people's Instagram now because I made myself an account! #Specifically so that I can repost my Queer Media Monday writing somewhere where more people might see it #so anyway this is going to be my first post there! <3 #personal stuff aside: these books really really are good #I said before that I am very sceptical of fairy tale retellings ESPECIALLY when based on something Disney adapted #so it's a surprise to find somethat actually work #but a really nice surprise #it's not just how much the author owns their take on these stories #it's also that they have a really frikking good writing style #can only recommend #these are the kind of books I'd like to buy a second time on paper #I really hope that it will be a possibility at some point #books #fairy tales #fairy tale retelling #Cinderella #The Little Mermaid #Beaty and the Beast #trans fairy tales #Black fairy tales #Black Trans Fairy Tales #book rec #queer books #trans books #Queer Media Monday #transgender awareness week

"free verse and not having to rhyme or keep a meter in poetry makes writing poetry more accessible for anyone to write it" we are surrounded by rhymes and meters the stupidest pop song on the top 40 is riddled with rhymes and meters anyone can do that shit anyone can fucking rhyme

you can rhyme

i can rhyme

rhyming is

a real good time

there rhyming poem done and dusted a single word over one syllable and it took me 7 seconds. it's a stupid poem but guess what it's still a poem. anyone can write fucking rhymed and metered poetry and it's insulting 2 me that people are still up free verse's ass when rhyming is so much fun and artificial restrictions that you choose for yourself can sometimes make creativity bloom so much more effectively than if you're only ever doing notes app poetry and calling it good. try doing a rhyme sometime or searching out different poetry forms. for gods sakes. can we be done with instapoetry yet are we over it can we move on can we have a new thing

#i fucking love free verse. btw #there is nothing wrong with free verse it can be everything #but the fact that it can be everything means that it can very easily be nothing #and people think line breaks make a free verse poem and like. sure. but we can all see the lack of creative effort #and i just dont see how poetry that lacks creative effort is worth part of my one wild and precious life #like if you the poet cannot be assed to care. why should i. what are we communicating except lack of respect #for each other and for the artform #mythtakes #sorry i am going to take my meds now and go to sleep #and hopefully get a hard reset for the weekend #and for gods sakes again i am not trying to be some weird trad about poetry there has been mediocre poetry of all kinds for all of time #rhyming doesnt make a poem good meter doesnt make a poem good #but the like abandonment of rhyme in poetry These Days is such a loss to me personally and i don't know why were so afraid of it #havent we killed the beast of prescriptivism and formalism and pretension yet. why can't we do some rhymes again. #bebe rexha gets to rhyme ed sheeran gets to rhyme maroon 5 gets to rhyme. these idiots get to rhyme and poets dont???
