Gentle reminder to please not send repeat asks, especially crackships or other requests.

Although such things are meant to be fun, they are also free art and sometimes even free character designs which take time and effort, and thus take a toll on me.

If you pressure me into giving you free art that you are not entitled to, I will be highly unlikely to perform the work you're requesting.

The crackships specifically are meant to be a way for me to unwind and flex my design muscles. As of this post, I have six (6) crackship requests for the cast of this blog, and multiple others on my main.

These are meant to be done at my leisure. There are quite a few of them. It takes me a long time to draw anything at all, much less find the motivation for it, so these will take a long time as well.

Please be patient, or I will no longer want to do free labor for you.

Thank you for understanding.

#to be fair i dont mean if like two anons send the same theory or ask #that's perfectly fine and i'd love the interaction! #but essentially harassing me over free stuff im not obligated to make is an absolute no #three strikes you're out

"I am a HUGE fan of gratuitous Second Chances and throwing cats off roofs/into the river"

Dude, that sounds really strange out of context

...well the context was in Rierse's reply.

But some more context for you, if you'd like.

Alr-alr, so- if Eclipse manages to get his grubby grabby gremlin hands on selkie y/ns seal skin again, would he just eat it or something-

He would consider destroying it however that would destroy your magic and leave you completely mortal, and a mortal human, naked in the Arctic, is not a good combination. Not to mention how much that would devastate you. He also wants to be able to swim and hunt with you, not just keep you caged, so he might threaten that he will, but he will avoid it if Y/N is good.

#it might be a 'three strikes and your out' kind of deal with eclipse #if you're gonna keep stealing it back and fleeing him #well he has no choice does he? #apex polarity #selkie!reader #orca!eclipse #the-cackling-jester

Imagine being Roman Roy and anytime you accumulate some semblance of self-confidence, the most batshit horrible thing comes crashing in. Like... your Dad lets you handle a project by yourself? It explodes! You have a good line to potential investors and are sent to secure the deal? Hostage situation! You're essentially the only man left standing and for once your father likes you? Here comes the accidental dick pic! You handle the election and might have a shot at making your dead father proud? You're never gonna believe what happens next!

#not that he should succeed he absolutely shouldn't! #and you could do this for all roy siblings but this one is particularly #funny without context #also three strikes and you're out because there's no coming back from that last one #in like a good way i guess but still #btw hostage situation was just glossed over huh? like... #succession #succession season 4 #roman roy #hbo succession #logan roy

what possessed fabian to tell eddie he should take patricia on a date to that film about senkhara. literally no reason on planet earth for him to say this and several for him not to. and yet

#i just....dude....i know you enjoyed it but..........what............. #dont get me wrong this still rings very in character to me but that doesnt mean it makes sense #his foot in mouth disease in s2 is unmatched #yeah no definitely tell one of the only people in the house out of the loop about a thing that could give them info even YOU didnt have #and even if he doesnt pick up on that its DEFINITELY a movie that will appeal to him and patricia #also: wasnt even a date in his mind between him and joy. so that's three strikes You're Non-Sequitur #house of anubis #hoa

And there it is. Some ugly little anon in my inbox has said the quiet part out loud – I can bring up the abuse that Build is being subjected to all I want, but it doesn’t really matter, because he’s “disgusting” and a “bad person.”

Some victims do need to be perfect. Some people do deserve to be abused. Despite the lip service to the contrary back when they were simping for Poi, this is what the people who have conducted and who continue the campaign of dehumanization and public abuse against Build believe. This is who they are, masks off. They believe abuse is fine when they get to decide who’s being abused. When they get to do the abusing.

That’s been the undercurrent since the beginning of this – since before the beginning of this, since last year, when some catspaw went digging back through his socials, looking for dirt almost a decade old, in a dirty little shipwar. It’s OK for antis to call him a “demon” and a “piece of shit,” because they’re the ones who are righteous, their crusade – and everything, anything they do in pursuit of it – is justified. Even treating another human being like garbage, like a dog they can kick around without repercussion, is perfectly OK, because they’ve marked him out as undeserving of basic human care and decency.

I truly believe they - just like the racist, classist, homophobic abuser they've enabled - won’t be satisfied until Build is dead. And that says far more about them than it does about him.

#build jakapan #i'm also 'disgusting' btw #for pointing out the hypocrisy of abuse enablers i guess #i told you i'd turn off anon if you show out in my inbox #three strikes and you're gonna be out

Most people really don't seem to understand that friendship is a two-way street.

They expect you to wait on them hand and foot as they rant about and constantly pour on you either their issues or their passions and when you finally have something you'd like to talk about you get a "Man that sucks :/" or a "Cool" in return.

Find somebody who doesn't do that. Then you'll have your best friend.

#i know i ramble sometimes and i'm extremely grateful that my best friend puts up with it :') #but see then in return i do the same for her because it would be completely unfair for me to expect her to act like a wall for me to talk a #or when i wanna show her something and i can tell she's being polite and it doesn't personally strike her fancy I MOVE ON #and she does the same for me and we have way frickin better communication and we have a frickin rad friendship #it's give and take #and also can we bring back the idea of being able to work through some things on your own? #like i am ALL FOR having a support system that can encourage you when things go wrong but some things can be solved on your own #i shouldn't be bearing the burden of figuring out your life for you you know? #i'm absolutely willing to help but if you're just going to spend all your time complaining to me and never ever take my advice #then there comes a point at which i'm literally just acting as your therapist and that's not how friendships are supposed to work #i've become kind of the designated therapist in a lot of friendships throughout my life #and it is exhausting constantly being complained at (sometimes over very minor things) #only to have that person or people COMPLETELY ignore your advice every single time you try to give it #that's not friendship my dude that's using me because you just want someone to complain to #like i said. support system good. treating your friend like an emotional punching bag to let out your problems 24/7 very very bad. #like when i was feeling completely unlike myself and irritated and frustrated for three dang years straight #i didn't really talk about it much because i knew it wasn't the kind of thing advice was going to fix #so i wasn't in the discord servers every two seconds “MAN I REALLY JUST DON'T FEEL GOOD :///” #because when other people do this to me there comes a point at which i'm like “WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT” #like i've given you all the advice i have and you have taken absolutely none of it nor have you taken any action on your own #so now i'm just here to make you feel better about yourself and that's really not my job #emotional support is necessary. patting you on the head when you refuse to do anything to better your situation is not. #tl;dr people who refuse to do anything to better their situation other than complain to ME about it 24/7 drive me nuts #and it drives other people nuts so please don't do it to anyone #don't bottle up your emotions but also don't let them come crashing down and drown everyone you know #just because you can't be bothered to put ANY effort forth to contain them #emotional regulation is attractive~~~ #society today has built such a culture of “it's not YOUR fault and if you cry about it hard enough someone will fix it for you” like no sir #sometimes it IS your fault and sometimes you DO need to take responsibility #and if it is your fault then absolutely no one but you is obligated to fix it

"what are you offering?"

"right now, Bobby's famous six cheese lasagna. and it only took three tries to get it right."

the couch/lasagna scene back in 6x1 'let the games begin' is a fuckin nesting doll of double-meanings and sneaky little symbolic hints and it drives me CRAZY, but like?

it only took three tries to get it right.

my first time watching that episode i immediately tied "three tries" to buck's past relationships, considering that the couch conversation was overtly about buck + his ex girlfriends. three tries: abby, ali, taylor. buck's already burned through all three of his tries- it's time for him to get it right. (the serendipity of eddie also saying "time! aw, you'll win next time" in this scene is... not lost on me!)

but i'd never thought about "three tries" in regards to EDDIE before.

he's tried (and ultimately been unsuccessful at) "picking a couch" twice before. shannon wanting a divorce right as eddie decides to reconcile, ana.

we know eddie thinks about dating again in 6x14. we know we see him "going on some dates" and having "mixed results."

that'll be his third try. and after that?

he'll finally be able to get it right.

Racialism - every sort - is ignorant, hateful, and foolish. There aren't exceptions.

There's no such thing as "races" outside of myth, dead languages (it meant 'family' at one time), and racist agenda. In this world that means white power, regardless of the basis of your racialized speech & actions.

Not trying to be insulting about it, but not going to waste energy trying not to be, either.

Racialism = white power. Every time.

Monkey King Episode 8 (Part 2/2)

*BUSTS THROUGH THE DOOR* All right, time to finish this!

It's been two days since I watched this episode let's see what stuck.

"The Six-Eared Macaque has six ears! Isn't he really cute?"

Ginseng Fruit thinks Six Ears is cute. Canon.

Okay, so. The fake bunny ears? Absolutely adorable. Holy shit. These kids are the cutest. Jade Rabbit's body dysmorphia is probably on a level to qualify as the full disorder, and that's less cute and more sad and distressing, but it's so nice this attempt at comforting her worked and they were able to make her feel a little better about it.

Stone Monkey was so worried about her, too! Six Ears was clearly only there as emotional support (desperately needed, because Stone Monkey was not doing okay) since he had no idea who she was and Ginseng Fruit just didn't like her, but Stone Monkey probably would have started ripping the island apart stone by stone to find her if they hadn't managed to coax her out. He was worried! And emotionally unstable about it! Ginseng Fruit losing their patience and insulting her got them attacked.

Like, it took Marshal Ma a multi-episode timespan to wear Stone Monkey down enough to have him almost lunging for Marshal Ma's face. Ginseng Fruit got there in about two sentences. Even Six Ears was pretty alarmed about it. (Six Ears trying to comfort an angry and distressed Stone Monkey by cautiously reaching out to touch his shoulder from an entire arm's length away is very monkey of him. I just had to note that.)

Also that thing again of Stone Monkey's genuine anger being pretty violent. And how much quicker he is to lose it if the ones you're jabbing sticks at are his friends and not him.

I can't even really blame Ginseng Fruit for being upset they were spending so much time and energy checking on Jade Rabbit, since from Ginseng Fruit's perspective she was actively trying to hurt/kill the two of them nearly since Ginseng Fruit met her. They have reason to not like her and not want Stone Monkey around her. Still not the time or place, but their concern and frustration was understandable!

From Stone Monkey's perspective, what's a little attempted murder between friends, I guess? They had a Bash Brothers bonding moment against the Demon King's army before Jade Rabbit's headwrap was knocked off and she panicked, so clearly it's all square now. She was just upset! She didn't even manage to actually hurt them! It's fine! It's also possible he blames Ginseng Fruit for Jade Rabbit being angry at all, since if Ginseng Fruit had just stayed away from him like Stone Monkey had wanted them to, and hadn't tagged along, they never would have had a chance to run their mouth and set her off. Which isn't really fair, but. Stone Monkey barely seems to tolerate Ginseng Fruit at this stage of their relationship and that was true even before all this went down. I'm not sure he would be fair. Especially not when they're shouting insults his already hurting friend might be able to hear.

Six Ears got them to work it out, of course, but I definitely noticed that Ginseng Fruit's tears weren't even enough to rock that look of utter disdain until Six Ears scolded Stone Monkey about it.

(Ginseng Fruit: *sobbing*

Stone Monkey: Suffer.

Six Ears: Hey. Hey, isn't it funny how all your friends keep getting sad around you?

Stone Monkey: 😟*🎶SHOT THROUGH THE HEART🎶*)

Six Ears really did go for the throat, though. Jade Rabbit wasn't even Stone Monkey's fault! Don't imply it is! He'll believe it if it comes from you!

I thought it was pretty funny and cute though, that Six Ears apparently just took it upon himself to carry Ginseng Fruit around while they were accompanying Stone Monkey. Looking at all of this though, it might also have been him just trying to keep Ginseng Fruit alive. He put Ginseng Fruit down for FIVE SECONDS and in the next scene they're picking a fight with an already upset Stone Monkey and almost getting their skull crushed in. They were right back on Six Ears's hip in the next shot lol. Can't take these guys anywhere.

But in reality it was probably just Six Ears's self-appointed Monkey Kinda-Maybe-Prince Boy Scout babysitting reflexes kicking in. He accompanied an upset Stone Monkey to go find this other friend of his, saw this little guy with tiny little legs trying to keep up with them (and especially Stone Monkey who was probably not in the mood to slow down or have Ginseng Fruit on him), and just scooped without a second thought. And Ginseng Fruit likes him! At least if their comment about Six Ears being cute later is anything to go by. You have a stalwart fan now, Six Ears. You carried them, spoke up for them a bit, and now they will die for you. Ginseng Fruit does nothing by halves.

This episode had so much character relationship building in it. I loved it a lot. The actual editing of the episode was a bit more like a fever dream or like the guy storyboarding it hadn't slept in a week, so I hope they're all right, but the writing was hitting all the beats. It was so good. Easily my favorite.
