#the story behind it is really funny

[evelynsfics]

Life captured in a painting.

I saw more people today, they came by to see the room. The same room everyone comes to see. I watched them briskly walk past all the silent painting and watching candles, they paid no mind to the dust and spiders, they never do, after all. A single goal in mind, they came to see the rusted beds, i'm sure. They all do. Countless pulled towards us by a never ending curiousity. Yet none ever leave. A shame, really. All those bodies have so many uses besides to carry one's mind from awful place to calm, serene dreams.

The light flickers everynow and then, it always has since that day... Well, no point in reminding oneself of things long since purposely forgotten. I don't know why. I never did. They kept me in the dark to stumble and fall, only to join me once they outlived the only usefulness they once had.

Everything was so much simpler when we used candles to light up the halls, back then the painting frames weren't so faded and the paint still held it's vibrant colors. Ah, but alas time eats away even at the most humble of hands.

Once the man died and our house fell into chaos and apathy, once we lost all we had left, then and only then did we realize that we witnessed the end of a bloodline. Years passed with no light, no human contact, and quickly, life as we knew it changed. Mankind has come so far from the last time our family ate together during Christmas, oh but i guess it's to be expected.

Now, we sit wordlessly, watching men and women gape in awe at our beauty. We watch them walk down the ancient, moth eaten rug in the hall, desperate to look at as much as they can. It's always been like this, visitors always looked around awestruck, never quite grasping all we had to sacrifice to obtain all this gold tinted bronze.

They never saw beneath the lies. They never realized. They never knew that our family, entire generations of lives lost to illness and war, was built on fickle lies, ones that would shatter like glass at the softest of touches.

Ignorance is bliss, and in some cases, it is all that stands between a life of luxury and a death of misery and regret.

Is that how they all died? In agony and longing? Longing for a better life? A second chance? A way to undo all the hurt and envy they caused to people that didn't deserve it? Not that we weren't without fault, of course. We always where too quick to judge, too quick to kill in the name of false justice and broken pride. That's how we made our way to the top. That's how it's always been.

Even now, as i watch people dressed in monochromatic tones walk by, strange devices lightning up their hands, i know that i am so much more than them. I've seen so many wonders of nature that their feeble mortal minds wouldn't be able to even comprehend. I've become what i always knew I'd be. Yet, it's so strangely melancholic to watch them freely walk, talking amongst eachother so carelessly, mindlessly laughing at words i can't seem to understand. Oh how i miss being like them.

The scenery before me always changes, the sun sets in such a lovely way, everyday the same yet changing, charming in such a disgusting way. Lives come and go, looking up at us like we're an attraction at a crumbling museum left to rot in it's meaningless sorrows. I, however, am eternal. I will watch a thousand years before i succumb to rot and decay.

For the view behind the picture frame may rot, but as the last of what once was a bloodline of pure power and might, i will last on far longer than the portrait they painted of me in my dying moments.

Some part of me knows they knew what a horrible fate they doomed me to. Some part of me feeds on the hatred they felt for me. Some part of me still feels it, pulsing a soft rhythm inside the now silent paintings.

And i relish in it. It's what kept me alive for so long, is it not?

#hey how cool would it be if i wrote a story from the point of view of someones reflection #my writing #writers on tumblr #writing #another personal favourite #i vividly remember writing this one #the story behind it is really funny #okay so. i was on pintrest being mentally ill as i usually do #and i saw this one picture of a girl in a room w a bunch of mirrors and i thought #but that didnt work out as well as i thought #and because the idea was really nice i decided to try and do it w a painting

[moeblob]

So does he, Gallagher.

#honkai star rail #hsr blade #gallagher #i based this off of how many times i used funny soda man to help be a healer with his poppin soda pop in SU #and then blade constantly just being blade as usual #its normally him saying unnecessary to my actual healer but #i kept forgetting gallagher heals and i kept healing when i didnt even need to so TECHNICALLY yeah it was unnecessary #but the amount of times blade was the recipient...... #i cant use like most of my newer units in story bc i cant ascend or i run out of leveling mats so i just #get them and toss them into simulated universe for funsies cause i can match their levels better #so thats where i tossed gallagher and he is genuinely fun to play as ? like i love his punches and kicks to start the battle #funny soda man is funny (to me) and im really behind in plot still #but last time i tried to play it on my laptop and got a kickass cutscene my laptop lagged and i couldnt even see it RIP to me #so now that its like ... me trying to play it on desktop ? #i mostly get on desktop for comms and if i do much else i feel like im slacking off even if i would take a break anyway #one day i can play more story plot stuff and actually meet the funny guys #also in case you know me for Not Having Boys in HSR i need to point out #i did pull Gallagher however same 10 pull got a 4 star girl copy for someone i never use and she is at e4 now cool #and i didnt even think of the irony as i started this i just like drawing blade and i wanted to draw gallagher #so when i already had the dialogue planned and am drawing i was like OH WAIT haha im funnier than i thought #(no i am not but we can pretend)

I like to imagine that her gentleness is genuine

#Havent used this brush in forever #it's usually too soft for my generally very... jagged art #ill write down some thoughts later lemme write the fandom tags first lol #hsr #honkai star rail #hsr robin #hsr spoilers #implied... its hella subtle tho #my art #(pulls out the plastic chair) ok listen up. #first of all i leaned a bit into the old timey tv style bc i felt like itd fit her vibe ykno #second of all the little pinkish thing behind her is meant to resemble a) a blood splatter and b) xipes fucked up halo #penacony is so fucked up and twisted and all while robin has been genuinely kind so far #Like even firefly was kind of weird and suspicious but she appears so earnest #and Im really curious how the story is gonna go for her. Im expecting her to still be alive in some way #Esp so we can find out why she left penacony #and her connection to the family #my hope is for her to be out of place in the place that should perfectly fit her vibe #alternatively itd be rlly funny if she was like. evil. not evil evil but more like Hey Remember How The Harmony Is A Hivemind

Milk ref sheet done yaHOOOOOOOOOOO lookit my big beautiful baby they filled with joy and happiness

#milk #digital #mogimage #the worst part of making this was their fucked up hands #lemurs gotta lemur and grab fruits and branches and small animals and bugs but y'know its fucked up that they have weird hands #at least i was able to euphemistically state how much fun they have with themselves and their girlfriend #robbie just has fuckin. hoof fingers. it don't work like that for her #very sad about that #ANYWAY i learned recently from a discussion on discord about putting tattoos on furries that scars grow white fur sometimes #so i applied that here to make it look less like just fur texture on milk's arms #might tone it down eventually but im not certain #a side story about that is that milk changes the story behind all of their sh scars every time they're asked by someone they don't trust #like “yeah i broke some equipment in a hs chemistry class and stupidly tried to wipe up broken glass with my arms” #“i tried to hug a big cactus when i was younger” #or “i used to work in a kitchen and i was really bad at paying attention when cutting vegetables” #generally they just don't like to think about it so they wear funny arm socks or long sleeves most of the time but sometimes they don't car

i know as well as anyone else that macbeth is not a happy story by any means, but i guess i'm just a stupid romantic, because all i can think of is this:

macbeth lost his hunger for power, for just a moment, upon hearing of lady macbeth's death.

macbeth, a man driven to madness by his insatiable lust for power and glory, who had no second thoughts about sending so many murderers after his opponents, stopped for breath for just a second after his wife died, and delivered the famous line, "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,/And then is heard no more. It is a tale/Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/Signifying nothing." (V, v)

this irredeemable, frenzied man, who could barely be called a human at that point, sobered up enough to numbly reflect upon the loss of his wife before completely losing faith in life and resigning himself for death on the battlefield.

macbeth is undoubtedly a tragedy, of course. all the gore and madness and death ensured that; but isn't it true that every love story was a tragedy, at some point, too?

For the author ask thing L and M? ❤️

ooohh choosing violence i see, i approve 😂❤

L. favourite fic of yours?

gonna throw you a curveball here. while i love the question choices, i also don't want to tag someone with a post that's gushing about their story and then in the same breath talk about something i don't like. so! as you all know, i've been into KimChay for A Hot Min, so let's take a min to gush over one of my favorite lil fics that's been around since the beginning of the BOC airing:

reverence is a little collection of KimChay vignettes. it's what i would consider 'old' KimChay fandom because it has a lot of influence from the Filmania kp trailer and novel versions of them, but it still largely reads as Kim and Chay and everything's little snapshots that can be as connected or unconnected as you want to read them (ft the occasional AU chucked in for flavoring). i really like vignettes so it's very happy days for me whenever i feel like dipping my toes back into this fic for a reread 🤗

M. least favourite fic of yours?

i'm not gonna trash talk anyone's fic here, something that's not for me can just be not read by me, and that's that. so! instead i'm gonna call this the continuation of the Kim tea ask, because there was one important take i completely forgot about when answering that question lol:

☕ fic that shit talks WDYS

this includes: every damn fic that had some variation of Chay saying "YOU WERE THE ONE THAT LEFT". tell me you didn't pay attention to the lyrics without telling me you didn't pay attention to the lyrics. Jeff did not pour his blood sweat tears and more into that song for y'all to dismiss it like this. BOC did not completely rework Kim's storyline to include music so that he sung this to Chay as an apology for this. also, similar weird take that goes hand-in-hand with the dismissals: Kim did not """"steal Chay's song"""" -- WDYS is the song they literally worked on together. Kim is helping Chay write it on screen. Kim finishing it as an apology to Chay to explain Why He's Like This is a really good step towards a reconciliation between the two of them actually.

i just. aurgh. it's a fantastic song that is basically the thesis statement of kinnporsche: the series, for all three pairings, and it's just really annoying to see yet another fic ignore all of that to play off the one english line for a cheap shot at Kim. ik a decent chunk of my irritation here is the number of stories vs any story specifically, and it's not like there's ever a limit on how many times a concept will be used, but. ugh. i do not care for it At All.

[fic author asks]

#kinnporsche #tea asks #it's funny to go from LOOK AT THIS SHINY to ARGH tea 😂 #but yeah following up the reverence author im about 98% sure they deleted their tumblr so we should be all good there 🤞 #generally i try not to get actually heated about fandom takes i disagree with but the WYDS nonsense starts tapping into like #dismissing the actual song and intent behind it #and as someone who *really loves* listening to musicians inspiration behind songs and the story behind that song in particular #those fic/fandom takes go beyond Take I Dont Agree With to Stop Disrespecting Actual People's Work #i think we all made that joke at some point when we first watched it because there was just the one line in english but like. #once the english translation was out.

⚠️ spoilers for some year 3 + 4 dialogue with gustafa's child below! ⚠️

[ some of the text in the second image is cut off, the full dialogue is likely meant to be "hold on a second. has gustafa been riding your coattails this whole time?" ]

no, because why is bea so brutal towards gustafa oh my god?? like you're really just gonna ask that question when he's within earshot??? 😭😭😭

#rock 🤝 gustafa <- designated sugarbaby in their relationship #does she talk like this about matt or gordy too or??? #funny ha ha's aside i do think teen bea continuing to talk about gustafa like that would probably lead to them having a fight w/ tris #tris loves gustafa a lot and really respects his passion for music so they're more than happy to provide for him and let him focus on that #so bea's phrasing would probably agitate them in the moment and the situation would steamroll from there #(ya'll know how spats between parents and teenagers can go. 😓) #i can imagine gustafa coming home to see bea slamming the front door behind her and storming off #and then finding tris (who he's rarely seem actually angry before) fuming in their bedroom and starts putting the peices together #tris definitely apologizes to bea for getting angry with her after calming down and talking it out a bit with gustafa #they eventually talk it out together after bea has some time to herself and starts to understand her parents' relationship dynamic more #(it's hardly a one-sided transaction since gustafa keeps tris grounded and makes sure they're not running themself ragged w/ their work.) #maybe it also leads to bea being more curious about what gustafa exactly does as a musician so she starts asking him about it more 🤔 #okay i'm gonna stop rambling in the tags i'm sorry i keep doing this ha ha #i just have a lot of thoughts about these guys and i have to get it out aaaa #story of seasons #bokujou monogatari #a wonderful life #sos gustafa #gustafa (awl) #oc : tris beckenbauer #chara : bea lantos-beckenbauer #🕹 : gamer time #mj.txt #awl spoilers

twitter drafts reveal anyone?

#achievement hunter #achievementhunter #twitter drafts #down with twitter #this was a lot of funny #‟fuck‟ #if yall saw the livestream chat #that was really funny #the shelby command #shout out to the mods #also the story behind these drafts #we made a sign on the whiteboard #all of post team helped make these ideas #most were mine but #tyler had like half of them #the lollipop one was ash's #we're just trying to have here alright

[signalhill-if]

Fun fact: a lot of the story ideas I have came from the world I designed for an Apocalypse World game, and at the time I was reading @attollogame and loved Sysba and wound up making a character with a similar premise of being a god banished to live in a human body. That character took on a life of their own and became like everybody's favourite NPC. But they were really specific to that game's story at that point and were very fultifaceted, so when I started writing Signal Hill (which has a totally different plot) I decided to split their role in the story into two different characters, Yvette and Aldrich.

In other words, if you trace it far enough back, 1/3 of my main cast is just Sysba from Attollo

#i expect a cease and desist in the mail promptly #i am joking ofc ames your work is soooooo beautiful and very literally inspirational haha #i'm posting this cause the other day i was talking to my partner about a book series i used to love as a kid called the unicorn chronicles #and i realized that the backstory of the character elihu is literally the same as the AW character in question #like man. inspiration in art is so weird #i hadn't even thought about that book series in years when i came up with that character #watch the tomska video about 'the somerton scale' it'll make you really think about your creative ideas and where they come from #and also he's funny #i've been meaning to do a bit of behind the scenes talk about the origins of signal hill if anybody's curious #i think that might be fun. the process of coming up with it is very roundabout #ALSO IN CASE ANYBODY THINKS THIS IS A SPOILER. IT'S NOT. neither character in signal hill is a god in human form that would be fucking wild #yvette is just yvette <3 aldrich........ well their storyline was ripped from an old story i wrote and never finished. not spoiling that #also there is no cannibalism in signal hill. none. i prommy #yet...

Love the scene where Orochimaru is bleeding and moaning in pain in the shower (on his period?) and his weird henchman is standing directly outside the semi-transparent shower curtain while they plot their evil schemes

#Do they do this often? Is this like their meeting room? #Like i joked about orochimaru's period because the blood running down the drain very evokes that idea #But obv he is bleeding from the wounds where his soul was sucked out (long story) #HOWEVER #what actually IS really strange is that there is a shower scene at all? #Why are we watching orochimaru SHOWER?? #why is this the time and place his henchman decides to have a meeting? #is this normal for them? #What was the reasoning behind these creative choices? #WHO MADE THIS #it's extremely weird and funny #trees watches naruto

head in hands. guys. you have to know that stephenie meyer was not inspired by mcr to write twilight. there ARE mcr songs she connects with characters. on her official website she’s got little playlists for each book she’s published and mcr does happen to be on some of those playlists.

However. also on her website is the literal spiel she has about how she dreamed of the meadow sparkling scene and that’s how she wrote twilight. that’s the inspiration!!! she just had a dream once!!! literally just find the post on her blog where she talks abt the behind story abt writing twilight!

#kiri.txt #the best story behind is clearly the new moon one tho #just for the baller I am not anti-female I am anti-human quote #btw I don’t like this series at all just to clarify #I just know like. #not everything but more than the average person ok #I always see this domino bs on my dashboard so. correcting misinfo #would be really funny if I got corrected and this became a net zero info post #don’t think it’ll happen but if so I’ll take the L

[thatgirlonstage]

I get that “the family that moves into the haunted house doesn’t trust each other enough to believe each other when one of them starts saying shit is haunted” is one of those genre tropes that’s like, it needs to be that way to make the story go, but I think you could do an interesting subversion/genre bait-and-switch by making a couple that pretty early on goes “no, okay, it doesn’t matter if you’re hallucinating or if the basement really did try to eat you, the person I love doesn’t feel safe so we’re getting the fuck out”. Idk it’s just really rare to see romantic relationships survive horror films and I think you could do something fun with it.

#I am still thinking about burnt offerings after it wrecked my shit last weekend #and like the context of that film is that all those people hated each other’s guts both in the story and irl lmao #so it would never apply there #but it got me thinking bc #‘would you leave for me? even if it was all just in my head?’ #has the potential for incredible romance between characters for whom the answer is an unequivocal YES #I was ALSO thinking about that film #in the context of like. it Seemed Important that it was a nuclear family with a kid #so what happens to that story if the impetus is really #we’re renting this house out in the middle of nowhere in the country #so that when we quietly invite my husband’s FRIEND Dave to come join us #no one needs to know or be asking awkward questions about why Dave is spending the whole summer with us #this is partially me being like. mmm. #I think if I thought about it more you could Say Something Interesting #about the fragility of nuclear families and how the individualist mindset behind them #cuts you off from perspective and support #with this kind of story structure #and partially me being like #I think it would be funny if the house that eats you is defeated bc it doesn’t know what gay people are #just bamboozled. why is there another guy here. get rid of him. why isn’t he leaving #ALSO to be clear #in this scenario the wife is a beard #but that DOESN’T mean she’s expendable #it means she is these two men’s single most trusted friend and confidante #and that they are gonna fight tooth and nail not to let a house eat her #the house trying to sow distrust by manufacturing a scenario where it looks like the wife is cheating: WHY ISN’T THIS WORKING

omg happy birthday, dean!!! 🎉🎉🎉 hope you have a fantastic day! ✨I think misha is saying batshit stuff in your honor haha
