#would have to find a way to get them made and sold bc I can't make them myself

[ddejavvu]

Whipped!Hangman would:

Tell everyone to "Be nice to them, or you're all dead. Every single one of you. Especially you, Big Bird." He emphasizes the last part with a point to Rooster

Let you win at pool because you look so happy when you win and he doesn't have the heart to actually win

Give you seashells he finds

Win you a prize at a claw machine. He would literally stand there the whole night and empty out his wallet if it means he gets to see that smile when he gives the plush

Give you flowers. Idc idc, he so would

Listen to you talk and talk and talk

Send you songs that remind him of you

save your contact with a little '<3' after your name

no bc around his team members he's a whole different person than he is with you, and that's not to say he's not 'himself' around you, but he knows his friends need to be threatened into good behavior so he runs ahead when you meet them with the nastiest glare on his face like i fucking dare you to act out and lets you grab his arm if you're a little nervous to meet everyone :'))

hangman is the reigning pool champion but everyone else must be super bad bc he always loses to you?? he's really not even that good at pool, you don't know why he keeps making the stupid mistakes he does... oh well! he's asked you to teach him your methods, so you'll have fun giving him pointers <3

hangman probably never collects seashells, because he's too impatient to sift through the sand for him and there's always better stuff to be doing, like chasing a frisbee, catching a football, diving into the waves is he a dog? but he always collects seashells after you're dating, he spots one by his foot and he's like woah y/n would love this. and he just sticks it right in his pocket for you, presents the little thing in his giant palm later with a smile, like here y'go darlin'. Ain't it pretty? It made me think of you.

HNNGGH PLEASE :(( penny puts in an arcade machine in the bar to make more money, and it's proooobably rigged, but you can't prove anything >:( anyways ofc hangman doesn't know this, and penny didn't think anyone would put that much effort into the machine for a stupid pink bear, but $30 later (all paid in ones) he's about to smash the glass to get the poor thing out and you beg penny to just let him have it already 😭 she's like yk what i can buy a truckload of cheap stuffed animals with that $30. sold. so she fishes it out for him and is like ohh must be bugging out. i'll fix it. take this in the meantime. and he hasn't held it for a second before he turns around and gives it to you :')) he's all sheepish like wish I could'a won it for you. Guess I just paid Penny off, huh? I hope you like it anyways. and you sleep with it every night to make him feel better, you tuck it between the two of you when you cuddle up to his chest :')

he brings you flowers all the time!!! he's a real southern gentleman, if you ask what they're for he says 'just because' or 'just for being you' :')

he has one of those expressions where he zones out while listening to you talk and you can totally tell he's not paying attention to you anymore, he's looking at you all dreamy the same way babies look at chocolate 🥹

jake hangman country boy seresin only listens to country music. that's it. he'll send you any honky tonk song under the sun if it describes a sweet, pretty love interest, if there's anything positive at all in the song he's sending it like morning, darlin. this made me think of you <3

THE <3 !!!!!!!!! rooster's the first one to see it and his brow furrows and he goes 'hangman, who is that?' and jake snatches the phone away from him so fucking fast, snapping at him to stop snooping on people, it's rude. but bradley's seen it now, and he'll be damned if he doesn't torture the info out of hangman. within minutes everyone knows hangman's got a girl, and it's only a matter of time before you're discovered <3

[im-up-to-shenanigans]

i will never not get emotional watching the season 2 finale of ouat. like just watching killian's face fall when he finds out neal is dead. the realization the emma may have lit the spark of his redemption, but his love for baelfire is what fanned that spark into a flame

the direct parallel of the scene in the past of killian telling bae that he could change for him and bae saying he would never change bc all he cares about is himself

AND THEN WHEN HE TURNS AROUND AND COMES BACK EMMA SAYS SHE DIDN'T THINK HE CARED ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF AND KILLIAN JUST SAYS HE NEEDED REMINDING THAT HE COULD ASJDHHDJSK

and that reminder came after emma's speech in the diner. after she told him that he could be a part of something. he still didn't give her back the bean. he gave her an empty pouch and dipped. he had nothing to lose by leaving storybrooke to be destroyed, but he came back.

without anyone there with him to say just the right things and encourage him to make the right choice. emma already did that, but that wasn't enough. he still betrayed her

but he sat there with his own thoughts. with the knowledge bae was dead. and looking at the carving he made to teach this boy he once loved how to sail. AND HE TURNED BACK

BECAUSE HE BLAMES HIMSELF FOR TEARING APART BAE'S FAMILY. AND ONE OF HIS BIGGEST REGRETS WAS SELLING BAE OUT TO PAN. BUT HE'LL BE DAMNED IF HE DOESN'T TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT. SO HE TURNS BACK TO SAVE BAE'S SON. BECAUSE HE MAY HAVE TAKEN BAE'S MOTHER AWAY FROM HIM ONCE AND PLANNED TO MURDER HIS FATHER, BUT HE WON'T LET HIS SON SUFFER THE SAME THING. HE WANTS TO BREAK THE CYCLE AND TRY TO MAKE IT UP TO THE BOY HE ONCE LOVED AS HIS OWN

and then he finds out that storybrooke's safe, but henry's been kidnapped, and he doesn't even hesitate to volunteer to help get him back, even when he finds out he has to work with the man who murdered the woman he loves and who cut off his hand. HIS LOVE FOR BAELFIRE OUTWEIGHED HIS HATRED FOR RUMPLE, JUST LIKE HE SAID IT WOULD WAY BACK WHEN HE TOLD BAE HE COULD CHANGE FOR HIM. HE MADE GOOD ON THAT PROMISE

and he finds out that henry's been taken to neverland, a place killian DESPISES, and he still doesn't back out. bc he may have sold bae into pan's hands, but he will save his son from suffering the same fate.

and everyone believes he's on neverland solely for emma, and he lets them believe that. bc he knows why he's there and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. he may be falling in love with emma. she may inspire him to become better. but she was never the reason

and i can't stop crying

#ouat meta #ouat #once upon a time #killian jones #killian jones meta #baelfire #neal cassidy #hookfire #captain swan #but only a little bit #i may not like neal when he's paired with emma #but i love baelfire #and his scenes as neal with his family #not focused on romance #were always the best part of his character #ouat 2x22

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Hello, i'm cheese anon's evil (not really) alter ego, theorist anon and i've come here to tell you my theory or uhh... actually personal hc of what happend to bruno (headcanons are like theorys but less fancy shut >:[), (i tweaked it a bit to fit your context just a tad better as i have some ideas with how you portrayed bruno (or well part of him))

SO. First of all i have to say i liked the uniform you gave bruno, very cute tbh, but more than pizzeria it's giving ice cream or candy shop thb, not that is a bad thing just saying so uhh fuck it pizzeria no more he runs an ice cream shop now in me mind

OK WITH THAT OUT THE WAY NOW WE FR THIS TIME.

Ok so. Once upon a time this italian guy called Bruno runed an ice cream shop with his wife, pizzahead saw how succesful they were on their own and said "shiiid imma need that" so he made a deal with the happy couple. BUT then he tried to bribe and trick them into giving up pretty much all rights to uhh.. i don't have a name for the ice cream shop actually lmao, just think of amything. anyways, they said no bc the ice cream shop was something they hold very dear to them, they have been saving for this for literal years and risked it all to get it running so who would want to give it all out like that really? But pisshead can't accept a no for an answer so what did he did? He just killed them in the spot. If they aren't gonna sing these papers might as well just kill the guys so they stop growing you know? He cannot afford ANY sort of competition (even tho he sells horrible pizzas and they are a fucking ice cream shop). But then he realizes "shit i fucked up imma get sued" so he just tried to recreate bruno using his brain as a base, couldn't replicate the wife tho, he accidentally shot her in the brain without thinking he would have to clone her too oops.

Anyways they go thru the cloning process but uh oh the clone isn't perfect, guy doesn't even remember who he was. The solution? Lie that they sold their shop and flew out the country with the money without telling anyone, aslo they changed their numbers you cannot find them ^-^. Btw the shop closed down literal months after he "acquired" the shop, the ice cream was bad it tasted like pizza :(.

That gets us to today, pizzahead now found some new guy to torment and since he had the clone laying around he just kind of managed to make it change looks so it can look like peppino and then used them as a boss on his tower.

Ok i'm done talking :] hope you like this mess of a theory imma go, cheese bitch wants to take control again mkay bye was a plessure to speak to ya'll <3

(Ohohoho, Theorist Anon! What a delight to read!

I cannot confirm nor deny your theory, but I will say that part of it is pretty spot-on! And it's generally an interesting story regardless!

Just some silly and goofy pizza man absolutely snapping and killing a couple bc he's a jealous bitch, and then he goes 'whoopsie daisy' and remakes one of them, and uses them to torment another guy??? Incredible

If dear Cheese Anon allows you to return, I'd love to read any more theories you have! (And I will continue to smugly grin as I do not confirm nor deny them)

ALSO, I totally get the ice cream shop vibes from the outfit, not intentional, but it is very funny to imagine Pizzahead taking over a non-pizza related place and making bad pizzas or pizza-flavoured ice cream!

Who knows! Maybe the tower warped Bruno's Ice Cream to Bruno's Pizza, bc it is Pizza tower and not Ice Cream tower hehe

Also, Pep does love ice cream, but that's maybe unrelated!)

#ooc post #I'm gonna make a theory tag so I can read them later hehe #theory post #but fr this was a fun read!!! #so thank you for spilling your thoughts <3 #also did I basically draw Pep doing the same thing as the previous post? #yes! but he deserves all the treats!!! #also cw tags! #death // #death mention // #guns // #you didn't say gun but it was implied so just in case

Goldilocks and the three bears crime family au

This au focuses on Baby and Goldi and is based off the part in Shrek 1 where we see the three bears in separate cages and then Mama later as a rug (rip you already know what happened to her)

The three bears got caught in Farquaad's fairytale purge and got separated. Crying in that cage was the last time Baby saw his parents. He's not sure what happened to them, but he got sold off to a circus bc everyone likes seeing baby animals do tricks, it makes good money. While he was there, he met a little orphan girl who was about his age in human years, five or six. She was also picked up because she made lots of money; she sold candy to people in the stands. No one wants to turn down a little girl!

They became fast friends. Goldi would wiggle between the bars of his cage at night and whisper stories of people she saw in the crowd and things she could remember of her parents. She liked telling stories about them. Baby didn't like to think about his parents, it made him cry, so he just made little quiet noises and pressed their heads together. They would fall asleep curled up around each other.

Fast forward several years, they're both preteens and have moved up in the circus. Baby learned english and Gold learned quite a bit of bear. She lost her baby face and was useless at selling treats now; she was going to get replaced but she begged to stay. Baby knew that she hated it there and was constantly thinking of ways to escape so it was obvious the only reason she stayed was for him. The ringmaster noticed their connection and put them in an act together. Goldi did flips and cartwheels on his back while they ran around the ring. They also came up with a plan where before and after shows, they would stand outside the tent and people could pay to pet Baby's nose. The idea was to save the money and strike out on their own when they had enough. They may have reached this goal a bit quicker than they should have due to many wallets falling victim to Goldi's sticky fingers.

Finally, sixteen years old, they decide today is the day. Their act has become much more complicated now and involves hoops and fire and all sorts of nail-biting objects. Halfway through the act, Goldi grabs a torch and announces they have had enough of being other's playthings and they're going to live their own lives. Baby rises up to his full height and with Goldi on his shoulders, they set fire to the tent. It's panic, it's mayhem, it's screaming and trampling crowds and bearing teeth and not being scared of whips or chains or anything else in the world. It's pure freedom. They run out off the circus grounds before anyone can properly stop them, laughing and cheering the whole way.

Here's where it starts to tie into the movie again (dw i didn't forget abt that lol) After the initial euphoria wore off, they decided to be professional criminals. They do a bunch of small scale stuff but they're pretty recognizable so it's hard to hit the same place twice. When they learn about the map to the wishing star, they absolutely must have it. It's at this point that they start to drift apart a bit. Goldi says they'll use the wish but secretly wants it to get her parents back. Baby is suspicious, she does talk about her parents more and more these days, but can't prove anything so he just goes with it.

Eventually, it gets revealed that Goldi wants the wish for herself and Baby is furious. They have a huge fight where so many hurtful things are said. Goldi accuses him of not caring about his family enough to try and find them. Baby says that it's because he cares so much, he doesn't want to learn what horrible fate befell them. He then says that Goldi shouldn't even bother with hers bc they clearly didn't love her, just abandoning her in the woods as a child. They both leave that fight in tears. Splitting up was discussed but honestly, they don't have anyone else in the world so they're both too scared to swing it alone. They keep going after the map but don't talk for days. After a while, there's an apology; a quiet one that is only half spoken because they both know what the other is thinking.

Ofc at the end, they help destroy the map and the star because Goldi's learned that she has all the family she needs right here and Baby's learned that maybe he should make some effort to find his parents. Who knows, they could be alive. He is. He tentatively asks Puss if he knows what happened to his parents, because he was also involved in the roundup, and Puss has to break the horrible news about his mom. There's lots of tears but frankly, Baby kind've suspected.

They go their separate ways from Team Friendship at the end and the idea of trying to find Baby's dad is briefly kicked around as they walk into the sunset. (Setting up a sequel lol)

#wow i didn't mean for this to get so long #i just really REALLY love goldi and baby ok? (but mostly baby. he needs more love) #puss in boots #puss in boots the last wish #goldilocks #goldilocks and the three bears crime family #goldilocks and the three bears #baby bear

[jrueships]

I think Jalen and Gup will still remain friends but I hope whoever is leaking these video suffer a faith worst than… lol

literally!!! say it louder!! like the de-realism of it all. the 'ENTERTAINMENT' of it all. It's entertainment>emotions always, and it's soo sick. Their relationship is strong still, which I love, but ever since that leak.. it's been overanalyzed and picked apart EXHAUSTINGLY!! Ppl are going back to any material they can find of the two together and just heaping BUCKETS of immaturity onto them. Talkin like 'oh see? This random dude with them made an expression THAT MEANS HE KNOWS AND HE H A T ES THEM. HE IS DISGUSTED.' and it's just SOOOO. UGH. ICK! UGH! i'd zay go find a hobby but being homophobic is literally their hobby. It's just so blatant and disgusting, and media is a GREAT tool for them to dish all that shit out without consequence. The way they can and DESIRE to constantly go back and pick apart the past just from the chance that it can spread even more hate is UGHHHH!!! i HATE it!!! Boundaries aren't SHIT anymore! Respect is trodden and relationships can get rotten AND NO ONE CARES!!!!!

It's a really good thing that jalen green's nature and upbringing as one of the hyped top picks has kind of steadied him through this. He doesn't turn off his comments (for what I know), he's BEEN getting painted nail comments and he just keeps painting them bcs who gives af? They're internet people. He's the People's people.. without even caring about the worser half of that lot. He doesn't care. But it's also kind of sad. But that's just how this world is

What im worried about mainly is gup like... gup's always been more attentive to any kind of hate or would-be hate he gets. Green's even noticed it bcs interacting with the haters (on an image level) is never a good thing. HE'S been forced to learn and get with that kinda practice bcs he's jalen green. He can't speak more as jalen green bcs. He's jalen green. He can only have the comforts of an allowed argument ..in the comforts of a fuckin burner account.

That's one thing I like about Kd, although he might not be a fav player of mine (I just personally don't rlly care for him but can understand why others do. He's very complex and way more interesting than the media tries to portray. I just kinda missed the kd era in bball and moved on, it's just a personal whatever) .. he stopped (for the most part of what we know) with the burners and uses his voice a lot. He's older, he doesn't gaf about not giving a fuck. He doesn't HAVE to , and he doesn't WANT to. He embraces being a hater and a speaker now. Unlike Jalen and Josh, he has more abilities AND experience.

Which is just so sad that alot of the things basketball players need to worry abt can be from off the court. And We're not talking being a role model or whatever, We're talking always having to watch your back ESPECIALLY when your work environment can get very quickly hostile as it is so often sold as hostility being a propelling marketing principle. Nobody can have fun anymore or be kids or a lot of things.

LIKE!!! gup can't defend himself well because he's not trained well enough as someone who's a lower pick so therefore less worry to the business. Bro is just a pawn they can trade away whenever shit gets rough. AND IT'S SO SAD THAT HE H A S TO EVEN GET TRAINING IN THE FIRST PLACE??? on how to WHAT?? Feel less? IT'S SOO. UGHHHHHH!!

When gup posted that picture of him and a woman (with like long pink pedicure nails) holding his face where he was tryin to make it look chill even tho it was very obvious on how hard he was trying to show how that hand holding his face was very obviously a woman's hand and not a man's ... as a 'response' to that video....... like. I saw it n i didn't even screenshot. And yall KNOW me, i love taking photos of things i find funny n sharing it with yall! BUT JUST YALL. YALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. not to THE PERSON, not blasting smthin that could be embarrassing all over the media. There's BOUNDARIES to shit, even the smallest shit! But what i meant with this is.. u know. Usually i enjoy kinda embarrassing moves. But this? This was just str8 up Sad. Like. That was all he could even do to try and defend himself, his friendships, his LIFEstyle. That was the only power he had was some miserably pr picture without pr in a sad attempt at personal protection.

And of course, the rest of the internet thought it was the funniest shit ever and blew that boundary up. Bcs they don't gaf and the best (perhaps only) thing these young guys can do is try and not gaf either AND THAT IS SO FUCKIN SAD!!! LIKE! THAT'S JUST SAD. I get sadness can be entertainment, yeah... FICTIONAL sadness, i can SEE. an ARTFUL, blossoming yet still Respecting some boundaries while exploring others, FICTIONAL (saying this AGAIN) sadness can be quality entertainment. Quality as in ure not an absolute shithead for sharing it if you still respect it.

BUT THIS SHIT IS REALLL! AND IT'S NOT GETTING RESPECTED. A REAL THING THAT ACTUALLY REQUIRES THAT RATHER THAN A FICTIONAL THING BCS RESPECT IS AND SHOULD BE REAL but it's just NOT so much anymore and UGHHHH!!!!

Their friendship is REAL! THEIR LIVES AND EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS N FUCKIN EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM IS REAL BCS THEYRE REAL HUMAN BEINGS JUST LIKE EVEEYONE ELSE!!! and it's just so DISGUSTING that a reminder and a worry even has to be made but that's just how the world runs when it's ran on entertainment, i fuckin Guess .

#it's just ughhh #sorry if i sound upset JUST TO BE CLEAR it's not directed toward anyone here just at the subject as it should be #LIKE WHY DO WE HAVE TO EVEN SAY THIS??? #we're silly lil tumblr blogs!!!! who scuttle abt sharing what we like in this hellshit site #but in interwoven comfort burrows kept between us #and yet here we are being some of the few people who actually have a #IT'S JUST #ugh #i hate twitter like #i hate when people dont act like the kinda people that would gather together to try and stop a man from meeting a train #i hate when ppl regress into 'THING I DONT KNOW = BAD = KILL' #LIKE THATS SO UGHHHHH #n im not talking regress as in acting like a caveman bcs while im no anthropologist im pretty sure #ppl back then werent unfeeling monsters 24/7. idk tho. just a hunch called expanded thought #im talkin regress as only sitting in the humans ability TO be cruel and just steaming in it so much u become comfortable #it's just. man. i just hate wasted potential #it's just so sad man. im just so sad #ty for this ask tho!!! i can at least have room for my own comfort away from this mess by knowing theyre still strong #ure so kind for this <3 ty friend!! #ted tumbunity things #green #gup

[atopvisenyashill]

What do you think would have happened if Viserys II was a girl? how things would have changed?

Ooooo that's interesting.

Well firstly, I want to acknowledge that there's probably a lot of sexual coercion going on here, because there's already a decent amount of sexual coercion going on with Viserys when he's a boy, let alone a girl. Remember Larra is seven years older than him, and he is effectively a hostage in a foreign kingdom with no one coming to save him bc they think he’s dead. he’s also like, barely above toddler age. gender swapping that, imo, puts a girl viserys (obviously called visenya) in a bit more danger (think to the fact that our introduction to dany is her being sexually abused by like three different dudes in a row, or sansa’s sexual humiliation while a hostage in KL, or even cassella vaith - young girls, especially ones in a hostage type situation, with no one to protect them are simply at higher risk of sexual abuse).

That being said, little Visenya still probably goes along the same lines - taken in by the Tyroshi captain, sold in all but name to a magister, and then sold again to the Rogare family, where she is definitely married (and expected to consumate) to one of his younger sons - it’s very unclear how old Lysandro’s children are besides Larra, but I figure there’s probably at minimum 8-9 years difference here. this age gap is not as notable if visenya is a girl - not to anyone but visenya anyway! Like Larra, I imagine whatever Rogare she marries will act as a pseudo brother, father, protector, AND husband, and she will grow incredibly attached to him as a sort of beacon in a storm. When Alyn finds her and brings her home, however, the Regents - especially that nasty fuck maester munkun - are not going to be pleased by this because Visenya is a girl, and therefore not a true heir. This makes life infinitely harder for both Aegon and Daenaera, because they will have the regents breathing down their necks to consummate despite Aegon’s reticence to do so.

However, I think the biggest change would be after Aegon comes of age. He dismisses the regents and reorganizes the small council to his own liking, because he hated the regents (with good reason - after Tyland and Corlys dies, Aegon not only doesn’t have an adult to protect him, but in fact has several actively attempting to trigger him! fuck those guys and fuck their hurt feelings over being dismissed. Maybe they should have been better guardians if they didn’t want Aegon to tell them to fuck off!). See the thing is, it is made very clear that while Rhaena is the technical heir, she is not a real heir. She is a backup in case Aegon dies and that's it. She is not actually meant to ever take the throne. Visenya would be treated the exact same way - not a true heir, merely a convenient body until Aegon and Daenaera have their own kids. Sure, Aegon would love his charming, dashing, loving little sister but he can't make her his hand without causing an uproar. He might be able to name her husband as hand and have a Ronnel/Elaena situation going on here but considering how disliked the Rogares and specifically Larra was, I do imagine that's a bit of a tall ask. So how does Visenya get to act as Hand in all but name? Well, short answer is she doesn't!

We'll circle back around to that one, but then you get to Aegon's kids. With Aegon dying fairly young, they're not going to rely on their aunt - however loved she may have been! - they're going to rely on the men around them. Daeron probably goes similarly, but Baelor becomes a problem. Baelor is the last male line Targaryen. There is no one after him which means he can't just put aside his marriage with Daena - OR we get Baelor the Blessed who locked up his own sisters acclaiming a sister as his heir!

So, you can see how we're gearing up for yet another dance in this scenario!

I think it's a little difficult to say one way or the other how Aegon III treats Visenya without F&B II. I would say with confidence that he loves her, likely has a deep attachment to her. I think they'd both be aware that in another life they would have been married, and the guilt of leaving your dragonless sister behind in battle probably hurts a bit more than leaving a brother (because Viserys can protect himself, but Visenya can't). Aegon III clearly resents the way he's meant to talk about his mother to keep the peace but feels powerless to make any sort of change because of the regents. I wonder if, under these sort of circumstances, if Aegon doesn't just get depressed as he ages but more outwardly bitter and shitty about the war ending in effectively a stalemate. This is an Aegon who is being dogged by his regents to fuck and impregnate his toddler wife that he specifically chose because he doesn't want to have sex any time soon, who is being told that he's not allowed to call the mother he watched be murdered a Queen, that his line descends from Daemon, that he's Aegon the Elder's heir, and now he's expected to also cut every single family member he has left alive - Baela, Rhaena, and now Visenya - out of the line of succession and completely keep it alive all by himself. I think that's a lot of misery and expectation to put on a teenager who is already self harming and dissociating heavily. I think it's really likely that we almost get a Viserys I + female!Daemon scenario, wherein Aegon lets Visenya run free while everyone is screaming that she's a slut who needs to know her place. However this is handled, I think they're gearing up for yet another Dance whether it be one Aegon and Visenya themselves spark or one that sparks when Daeron and Baelor both die childless.

[bitchfitch]

Since gaining, checking my notes, 200 ish, verified real person followers over the last few days because of that escaped post, i feel like i need to post about stained glass more between my bouts of oc brain rot posting to like. idk. validate y'all's decision. or whatever. get notes juice reward.

But I'm also me and because of that i need to be an ass about it. so I'm not giving any context on Gerd until the end of this post.

Anyways

I'm still working on my precious precious Gerd. but I'm having an Impossible time sourcing enough pink glass in the right color and opacity. She's going to be the main light fixture in my kitchen, so she needs to be fairly translucent. but still opaque enough for the fuck off massive light bulb to not be an eyesore. because turns out, 3 foot tall tiffany lamps need big bulbs so you don't have a gradient through the length of the lamp

and like, i can understand the appeal of that aesthetic but my precious baby girl baby Gerd deserves to shrine like the Absolute angel she will one day be.

Anyways. The issue with finding semi opaque pink glass is that it's a fuck awful pain to produce so not a lot of companies actually make it and they physically can't make that much more because the metals and such needed to make glass pink And to make it any level of translucent are only found in a handful of places are usually sold to the Big companies who can out spend on them.

and what does get made is Expensive compared to not pink glass and it's bought up in Instants because the nice warm toned pink glass that lets the right amount of light through pretty and everyone needs it. and i need like. probably 7+ sqft from the same lot for Gerd. so That's just not happening. Which is an issue for me. someone who's entire brand is being obnoxiously pink.

Which brings me to the point.

I'm considering making my 3ft tall pig head shaped Tiffany lamp as god awful rainbow as physically possible. Or buying up a fucking theater companies worth of those spotlight coloring plastic sheet things(pink). and just hoping the pigment in them holds up long term bc no way are those things as light fast as the glass would be.

#maybe ill buy a kiln instead and just enamel the glass if i can find a pigment that does The Thing right. #glass kiln not a pottery kiln #Very different price points #bfsg

WILT 1/8/2024

spotify//youtube

Limp Bizkit - Leech: trying to get some of my friends into lb and this is the song that sold it for at least one of them

Nirvana - Been A Son: may well be my favorite nirvana track. every single lyric is like. owwww

Daniel Johnston - Walking the Cow: i have been on my bullshit about this whole album for like a full month. trying to learn this one on the piano

Daniel Johnston - Keep Punching Joe: i like the slightly more upbeat, almost kind of bluesy feel he put into this one. it feels very character-driven and humorous while still being a... unique exploration of victimhood

Breaking Benjamin - Polyamorous: this seems like it would be soooo fun to sing live. i just love all of ben's little enunciations and syllables here, his unique voice is so dear to me bc of how long i've been listening to bb. also god forbid poly bitches do anything

Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal Failure: have also been on my bullshit with this album. i don't really want to talk about this track though, i don't feel like getting too personal

Nirvana - Rape Me: this one also feels weird to talk about publicly. but i've been listening to a lot of in utero tracks, not necessarily the album front to back but just my favs and this is definitely up there. an infamously raw and real record at perhaps its rawest and realest

Gene Wilder - Pure Imagination: i saw the new wonka movie in theaters and was surprised to find i actually enjoyed it a good bit. that nice warm feeling led me to listen to some of the soundtrack of the original and remind myself of how much i love it. i could have easily put the scary boat song on here too

Suicidal Tendencies - Subliminal: i don't really care that much about the actual message of the song pertaining to subliminal messaging in media, i think there are other takes on that subject that have done it a lot better than mike's clumsy rambling. but i do identify immensely with just the feeling of sickening paranoia that the song captures. maybe it's not coming through the television but SOMEBODY is fucking with me. subliminally...

Daniel Johnston - I Am a Baby (In My Universe): okay i won't lie this one is kind of funny. like openly funny and ridiculous rather than the more layered playfulness of the rest of the album. oOoOoOoh i'm only 22........ i'll live forever ^_^ idk. it's still real as fuck though, i feel like a dipshit baby all the time

Kurt Cobain - Rehash: when you listen to home tapes like this, i feel like it really gives such greater dimensions to who kurt cobain was as an artist. in a way, it feels not dissimilar to something like the scrappy brilliant work of an indie pioneer like daniel johnston, which makes sense considering kurt was a fan of the guy's work. at the same time, this particular track is kind of silly and has him doing that voice that i hardly even recognize as his. i've been wanting to watch montage of heck, and this one is here as a marker of my love for the sounds of these home recordings more generally

Korn - Faget: there's a lot of discussion to be had around when it's okay for artists to use this word, but in general i tend to find that alternative artists who use it in a way that identifies with it is something i can't really be mad at. korn, and more specifically jonathan davis, is a freak show of alternative music that appealed to other freak shows. the fact that jd chose to identify himself with the word "faggot" in this song due to his experiences as an outcast and victim of bullying is at worst misguided, and i bet it made a lot of other outcasts and victims in 1994 feel seen, feel less alone. i think that's worthwhile. however it is also funny that a few years later korn would release "all in the family" which is like if someone decided to drag out the meager concept of a homophobic slur into a full album track

The Romantics - What I Like About You: was rewatching pat finnerty videos and got this stuck in my head from the bit where he talks about this song in the dani california video. not much to say except it's a tune! also goes in the file of songs that seem very fun to sing live

Metallica - Wherever I May Roam: oh yeah now we get into the rock adn roll babey 🎸🎵 i mentioned in an audio ask that i've been really indulging in the dumb rock music and 90s metallica is like the prototype for all meathead rock that followed. it's solid though, there's a reason why it got so popular. this is a good track, i really like the prechorus

Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry: possibly the dirtbaggiest of all the dirtbag rock. that's not true actually there's still shit like theory of a deadman and fuckin buckcherry and whatever, stuff that even i don't touch. but idk puddle of mudd just hits now and then with the scratchy yucky vocals and stupidass riffs and this is hands-down one of the best songs off the album. it's at least kind of about something. and ngl everything is pretty blurry nowadays

Tom Petty - Love Is A Long Road: shoutout tom. was listening to full moon fever again and realized how much of a tune this was. big chorus with the good good blend of new wave and americana rock that he always brought

Muscadine Bloodline - Me On You: with country being as big as it is right now and me trying to connect with that sort of honest and grounded feeling that rock and roll gives people, it seemed natural that i would make another attempt to properly get into country. i came across this one on a country rock playlist i was exploring and took to it because of the nice growl in the singer's voice and the rapidfire delivery of lines with some tasty internal rhymes. nothing special but it rips. i am a little wary of the "bloodline" part of these guys' band name but i looked them up and couldn't find anything that immediately sent me running? idk i hope they aren't shitheads

The Offspring - D.U.I.: the drunk driving fandom is dying, can't imagine why. discovered on the soundtrack for "i know what you did last summer" which i picked up on cd at a thrift store

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite: okay these guys actually do suck major shit. and so does this song actually. but it's on here bc i've heard it a million jillion times and have been listening to it a lot again, after watching the pat finnerty video about this. man i feel like i'm cheating on todd this month or something wtf. anyway i discovered not long ago that i've been mishearing the lyrics to this song my entire life in a pretty major way. honestly it's overdue for its own installment in my little series where i explain my misheard lyrics and the much better implications i derived from them. basically i always heard the chorus as "i'll keep you by my side, you're my superhero man/my aching kryptonite" which is WAY more words than are actually in the chorus. the singer just chews on the syllables so much that i always heard them as separate words. but i always thought it was a song about a kind of shitty guy who was trying to be better and act like a superhero for his partner who he viewed as his own super savior, as well as his weakness (kryptonite) because of how much he loved them. i thought it was a really sweet song. but it's just about a douchebag guy who acts like a douchebag to his partner who he doesn't seem to actually like very much. it's not a good song. but again, butt rock. sorry

rancher omens au development nov. 11

in addition to being one of the Them, Scott is going to make an appearance in the history section as a former friend/lover of Jimmy. currently, I'm looking into the best ways that he could fit in. details under the cut! this one has a few bulleted lists, so I'll save you the scroll :>

at the bottom of this post is a poll!! y'all can put in your two cents on my conundrum here

in all cases they'd probably stay together for about ten years before Jimmy decides to leave or Scott dies, depending

the first draft I made takes place in 1906, where Jimmy meets Scott (a flower seller) while moping over Tango (who he hasn't seen in fifty years.) after a while, he moves into Scott's flower field. but Jimmy feels an obligation to help in the face of WWI and fakes his own death since he can't tell Scott the truth or bring himself to lie and say he wants to leave.

pros:

Tango has to know about Scott, and he could find out during the 1941 minisode. that could be a really cute moment in which Scott (now much older) says something like "you look so much like someone I used to know"

I really struggled with finding a reason for Jimmy to leave Scott that didn't have them ending on a bad note, and I don't want it to end on a bad note. WWI works as a great excuse for this

poppies were a symbol of death during WWI, meaning that theoretically, a blessing from Jimmy on Scott's flowers could've caused that. that would mean that Scott sold thousands of poppies in the years following WWI in a beautiful gesture towards a man he lost long ago

cons:

I'm not totally sold on the idea that Jimmy would even entertain the idea of friendship with Scott while he's so miserable over Tango. I really caked on the angst during the 1854 scene, so Jimmy wouldn't just get over it (he only barely does so in 1967.)

something doesn't fit about Scott knowing about the tavern. if that's somewhere he regularly goes to sell flowers, even after Jimmy "died," then he should be able to recognize the exact same building that supposedly got sold to someone else many years ago.

currently, Scott just kinda... walks into the tavern?? talk about pushy salesman

my second idea was that they met somewhere between rome (41AD) and wessex (535AD). I'm not totally sure how that timeline would work and I haven't written anything for it lol

pros:

the main pro is that I think it would be reeeeeallly sweet if Jimmy named Scotland after Scott bc "it's his place, he belonged here"

it would also not interfere much with the overarching timeline bc there's a huuuuge expanse of time (~500 years) that is given no official content, so I have a lot of space to work with

cons:

it would be a lot goofier to write bc idk much about the era, but since it's such a wide era I could probably find something to work with

I have no idea how Tango would find out about Scott if it's been hundreds of years since Jimmy saw him. since there's isn't a way that it would end happily, (either Jimmy leaves or Scott dies or something) Jimmy would hardly be volunteering that information. but Tango has to find out somehow, and I want that to be established information somewhere

my third thought was sometime during the 70s with the hippie era

pros:

obviously the theme of "the flower human" (as Tango call him in 2008) fits in fairly well with Scott lol

Tango would be aware of Scott bc he probably met Scott. we could also see Tango get into Queen music which would be kinda funny

cons:

Scott and Tango being around at the same time would be weird. I'm not a huge fan of the idea

established hippie culture doesn't lend itself to two men living alone in a big flower field, so I'm not sure what exactly I'd do with that to work it out

I'd have to take out the line "I'm in love with him, aren't I?" from Jimmy referring to Tango in 1941 bc it wouldn't make much sense to establish that and then turn it around right away

my final thought was during the short stretch of time between Edinburgh (1820s) and St. James Park (1854).

pros:

Tango is missing during this time but comes back soon after

the increased angst potential of 1854 >:) I already increased the angst of this scene and would be all for doing it again

after edinburgh Jimmy would be in Scotland anyway, clearing the tavern problem from 1906

cons:

it's a little pushy in terms of the overarching timeline. both edinburgh and st james are reeeally important parts of the story (even if edinburgh doesn't appear in the history section), and I'm not sure putting another factor in there would be a good idea

I'm also not sure what exactly would happen between them. after a while, Jimmy would spend this time worried about Tango, since he's been missing for 30ish years. would Jimmy be as worried as I need him to be if he spent that time with someone else?

ALRIGHT

currently I only have work down for 1906, but I'll probably end up fleshing out all these ideas more and posting them as bonus content :>

HELLO!!! i have uno request :D

youtuber mc x member of your choice whos a fan of her and goes to her fanmeet and they talk but cant seem to get over the sparks in each other eyes, like disgustingly in love and all that stuff yknow? 😌😌bonus points if one of them is the shy-est (?) person on the planet lol 😳THANK YOU MY LOVE i shall sign out now BYE~

i'm glad people can't see when requests were sent bc i'm ashamed-

hope you enjoy it, wife <3 and as always, thank you @daechwitatamic for being an amazing person 💜 and for beta reading, too.

To say he is excited would be an understatement. 

When Jimin found out you, his favorite youtuber, were coming to his city for a fan meet… he lost it. He remembers the moment with a lot of precision - he was helping Hoseok set the table and the topic came up.

“Did you buy your tickets?” Hoseok asked nonchalantly as if Jimin would know what he was talking about. 

“Uh… what are we talking about?” Jimin replied, folding the napkins and putting them next to each plate.

When he noticed Hoseok going still, he went still, too. Just as he was about to repeat the question, the aforementioned man pulled his phone out and went straight to their group chat, scrolling until he found what he was looking for.

DANCING WITH MYSELF, Y/N, THE FAN MEETS.

Scanning the picture as fast as he could, he realized Hoseok was showing him that because your team had published the dates for the upcoming fan meets, and the one for his city was… in three days?!

Fuck. He had to be fast. Continuing his scan to see if there was any information about where the tickets were being sold, he saw the link at the bottom of the picture; he left the room to grab his computer, praying to every god out there that he could still have a chance to buy tickets. He heard Hoseok yell “you’re welcome, brat!”, but he didn’t pay any attention to it. 

His fingers missed some of the keys, making him waste more minutes than he would have liked. Once he was inside the website, he clicked everywhere he had to, typed the digits of his card number, read the information twice to make sure he was buying the right thing. And boom, he was getting an email confirming his purchase for this Friday.

Only then was he able to register the sound of Namjoon yelling at him, asking him to go downstairs because everyone was starving and waiting for him. Putting on his best poker face, he walked downstairs and sat down, clearing his throat as if nothing had happened. He grabbed a piece of chicken, served it on his plate, and cut into it. However, the two pairs of eyes on him made him feel uneasy, so he covered his mouth and asked a shy “what?”.

“The fuck do you mean what?” Namjoon mocked him, passing him the rice. “Did you or did you not get the tickets to see your wife?!” 

“First of all, she is not my wife… but yes I did!” Jimin exclaimed, banging his fist against the table repeatedly. 

Both Namjoon and Hoseok hollered, discussing all the details with Jimin. The youngest couldn’t stop daydreaming about the moment, the day he would finally get to meet you.

And that’s where he finds himself now, standing in line, trying to not gawk at you. The way your sincere, bright smile is making his heart ache doesn’t go unnoticed by him, but he swallows it down the closer he gets to being the next one who gets to talk to you. Jimin makes a mental run-through of all the things he wanted to say to you, knowing he only had 8 minutes to do so, and let you speak too. 

When the person before him gets their turn, he grabs his phone and lets the eight minutes run on the timer. It takes a lot of effort to not be checking the time constantly - the minutes do pass a lot faster than he thought they would. That seemed to be a good thing until he started questioning his minutes. Would he get to say everything he wanted? What if he doesn’t talk at all and lets you do it? 

A snap pulls him out of his thoughts, looking at the staff member that is letting him know his turn is one minute away from starting. Shaking his head and body, trying to get rid of the anxiety, he runs a hand through his locks to tame his hair - which looked perfect, but the boy felt like a mess right now - and walks to where you are, behind the table. Why do you have to look so perfect? He looks at his shoes and inhales deeply, looking back at you with a smile on his face. Clearing his throat so he could greet you, your words beat him to it.

“Can’t believe a darling like you is nervous to meet me.” 

Jimin, your eight minutes are running, say something! He mentally scolds himself and scrunches his nose, trying to ignore the burning feeling on his cheeks. 

“You’re my inspiration, Y/N. How am I supposed to not be nervous? I do not wanna screw this up…” Jimin mentions, opening his bag and pulling a knitted dancer doll out, setting it on the table. “I-I’m Jimin. I got this for you - picked this outfit in specific because that was what you were wearing in the video I found you with.”

“That video will always be one of my favorites, you know? It was a breakthrough for me, helped me decide what I wanted to do with my channel. It started as dance tips, covers… but when things started going downhill for me and had to part ways with my dance studio, I told myself ‘speak about it, help others who might be in your position or need to remember the only person they should try to please with their dancing should be themselves’. And I’m so happy I did,” you confess, grabbing the doll and hugging it with one arm. 

“Besides being a dancer and finding your tips very, very useful,” Jimin begins, shooting you a wink, slowly getting rid of that shy persona that was enclosing him, “you helped me through a rough patch where I was losing my passion, forgetting why I even started dancing. Finding you was a gift.” 

With a small pout, you reach out for Jimin’s hand and give it a tight squeeze, rubbing his knuckles with your thumb. Looking at your wrist, he notices a gleam in your eyes before you reach to untie a bracelet from your wrist and hand it to him. 

“Here, have this, Jimin. I have another one at home. But don’t tell anyone I gave it to you, okay? It will be our little secret. You got me a precious doll and some words I will carry with me forever, I got you this.” With a giggle, you close his hand around the bracelet since he can’t stop staring at it dumbfounded. 

The warmth of your hand snaps him out of his trance and he pulls out his phone, opening the camera app. 

“My eight minutes are almost over, can we take a selfie? I will show my wrist and you can show the doll?” He suggests, shyness coating his words. 

Once you agree, he turns around so the angle of the picture isn’t awkward and takes the picture, showing it to you. He feels his hands - and heart - go crazy when you suggest taking another one, but doing the same pose together. You both do a peace sign, still with your gifts showing, and Jimin is quick to say his goodbyes and thank you again when the guard walks to him, about to tell him his minutes are up.

The next time Jimin sees you is through a screen. The couches in the living room are pushed back so he can have some space to try the new dance routine you posted a day ago. He gets up from the floor as the computer is set, but sits down again when he notices a familiar “figure” in the background. Is that… no it couldn’t be, could it? Waiting for a clearer frame, he squeals when he realizes the doll he had gifted you could be seen in the background, sitting on a counter. 

The smile he carries can’t be erased from his face, and it continues to grow with the sound of your sweet voice guiding him through the steps of this new routine, praising and encouraging every person behind the screen even if you can’t see them.

By the time he is done with the routine and has nailed it the way he knows he can only when reaching his full potential, he is starving, stomach growling loudly. Checking his phone, the bright screen telling him it’s 20:05, he goes to his room to retrieve a hoodie and a baseball cap so he can head out. His gut is asking him for a burger with some fries from that place a few blocks away - they make these fresh, unique burgers and their fries are perfectly seasoned, making quality leagues better than what McDonald’s could offer - he wouldn’t trade the food quality. 

The night is beautifully serene and clear, a perfect balance between chilly and warm. He lets his memory guide his steps the right way to the restaurant, it soon becomes visible. Getting his wallet out of his pocket, he opens the door and heads inside, going straight to the line. The place is packed for a Tuesday night, fragments of conversations reach his ears but he can’t really understand them, the smell of food invades his nostrils and causes his stomach to growl again, embarrassing enough. The line advances little by little, and the couple in front of him is ordering their food now.

Wait a minute… The voice of the girl in front of him sounds familiar. Extremely familiar. 

Said girl turns to look at the man beside her as he makes his order, and that’s when it hits him. It’s you, Y/N. He would prefer it if you turned around so he could actually confirm it, but as a big fanboy, he is 99% sure it is you. The guy who is with you has to be your boyfriend; the way he hugs you while you wait for your receipt says a lot, and you seem comfortable around him. That guy is… tall, handsome, and has a deep voice. But he feels you two look alike, getting a good look at him when you move to the other side of the room to wait for your food.

Well, of course, your boyfriend had to be someone as pretty as you.

The guy behind the register takes Jimin’s order and instructs him to go to the other side of the room - where you are - to wait for his food. He reluctantly walks over there, his mind a twisted mess. He wants you to recognize him, talk to him for a while, see if you are wearing the bracelet. But what if you aren’t wearing it? What if your presumed boyfriend turns out to be a jealous dickhead and caused a scene? 

He lets out a quiet groan that apparently is quiet to him only, because you turn around, your expression full of surprise.

“Jimin, is that you?” You ask while discreetly pointing at your wrist knowing only he would understand.

“Oh, Y/N, hi! Nice seeing you have excellent taste in food.” 

Jimin points at the menu and then to the receipt in your hand with the arm that has the bracelet on, coyly smiling your way. 

“This is my brother, Jake, he suggested this place and decided to give it a try.” You present him, looking at Jimin who is not good at hiding the sigh of relief he emits. 

Jake chuckles as he notices the sigh, too. He stretches his arm for Jimin to give him a handshake, and Jimin follows. Jake then takes the receipt out of your hand and goes back to the line when the number on the receipt is called, food hot and ready for you to dig in. You walk closer to him, toying with the beads on the bracelet on his wrist.

“Now that I know Jake is not your boyfriend… would you be up to going out with me someday?”

“Thought the question would never come. But why did you think he was my boyfriend?” You snicker, playfully hitting his shoulder. “Was it the hugs?”

“That, and the fact that you guys look good together. You are both handsome, with great physique… Yeah.” Jimin mumbles the last part, shrugging. 

He hears the number on his receipt get called, reminding him of the hunger he is feeling. You follow him to the counter, though, catching him by surprise.

“You flatter me - I can say the same thing about you. However, the physique is not the only thing I’m after. I’m choosing personality a thousand times before looks. So, sure, I’m free later, tomorrow, the day after, any day you want to go.” You lean forward, a pen in hand, and write your phone number on his receipt.

He got your number! His long-time crush gave him her phone number. Yet, as always, you continue to leave him stunned. This time in the shape of a kiss on the cheek, followed by a shy “goodbye” from you.

God. He was going to give you the date of your life.

[whizpurr]

No thats ok! thanks. I just wanna let u know that i wasnt saying youre doing wrong or judging u i was just wondering if i could use the photos u editted.. to profit off of it? is that bad? idk whats ur thoughts and opinions? i think u should profit on it as well!! much love

Aw I appreciate that. This is gonna be long. And i dont feel like adding kaomoji! (๑•́o•̀๑)

I'm not sure how you could profit? I suppose you could make collages with images i have shared, as I have done, and properly credit the artists or brand etc of the edits within the collage...but even then I am against the selling of collage art like that since the artists within it don't ever properly get paid for their contributions. I think collages are fun to make and pretty to look at and share for free use but shouldnt be sold...but plenty of people do it on etsy and other art websites, heck people have made galleries with these types of collages. I dont think its right though. I post my collages for free as well and would never sell them. Other things people do with pngs of others works for profit that I find wrong is make knockoff physical stickers or products with the images on them and sell them. I have joked about taking my pngs and printing off your own sandylion stickers since people sell them on ebay for wayyyy too much but that suggestion is for your own personal use and not for selling or profiting. Selling them would once again be wrong in my opinion, but again, people do it, there are entire websites that do this.

That all being said, like I've said before, I can't stop anyone from using these edits however they want so you can do you but I dont condone profiting by selling others works which I will not do and have not done.

Which brings me to the next point of me "profiting", which tbh I dont deserve for editing and sharing images. I originally said I won't ever enable tips as I dont believe its right as its not my art, and I still somewhat believe this, also tumblrs tip system is shady... but I have broken my rule and linked my paypal before since I have become a sahm and also shared my child's baby registry. I removed paypal and never got a donation anyway but still I felt guilty even sharing it for voluntary tips bc of my personal reasoning before but I have returned my child's wishlist, because I would be using any donations for him anyway, and before he was born a couple people were so kind on his registry and he still loves his little fox toy and goodnight moon book gifted to him by kind people here and I realized if people want to continue to share their kindness with my family as I have shared images I like with them I will happily accept that and how is it different from me sharing his registry with friends and family for gifting? Is it bad I've used the reach this blog gave me to accept a present for my baby from kind people with similar interests? To put in perspective I have 11,600 followers and 3 have gifted me(all my sons baby registry before he was born) in 6 years. I'm not beg posting for donations or demanding payment for pngs bc again this blog is for fun and a scrapbook collection to share with others.

I realized plenty of other tumblr bloggers ask for tips and donations for posting others art, or just running a blog where they reblog other people, post memes they didn't make, tweets they didn't make, pinterest links, weheartit links, Spotify music, etc. You could easily profit that way, you could just reblog or repost my posts you like the most and enable tipping on your blog or ask for donations and profit. People on here run art "curation" blogs, scan artbooks, share others Flickr posts, share snippets from old magazines or newspapers, share eBay or etsy links to listings or crafts that aren't theirs, or make tv/movie/videogame/anime gifs and then have tip and donation buttons just for sharing others works, products or resharing things from the met art museum or fashion history websites etc etc. And there's even the good handful of meme blogs and viral animal video and image blogs who blatantly spam links to Chinese knockoff overpriced items/stores in between memes and animal posts who get a cut for selling and advertising these storefronts.

I realized why shouldn't I just have my sons registry available if anyone wants to voluntarily gift? Everyone else has no problem asking for more when they also have blogs dedicated to posting others works. Is this profiting? Maybe??? Thats all the potential profit I will allow from this blog though and I dont consider it profit as much as people just being nice? Maybe I'm wrong and hypocritical for that but I dont really think so when I have seen people ask for actual money and donations on tumblr simply for existing. I'm not here selling stolen art, I don't claim the original work is mine, and anyone who wants to contribute $1 to a copy of chicka chicka boom boom for my baby isn't being held at gunpoint or guilted or told they have to in exchange for transparent images.

[oh-my-damn]

As a fan, I'm living for these posts of you reading Chris Evans. Omg pls spill on your opinions on him and Jenny Slate. I listened to the Anna Faris podcast they did together while she was still married and the way he was flirting with her was so juvenile and blatantly obvious. Also, his opinions on women's body hair were so ick. Like, not this hairy-ass man calling women lazy for choosing not to shave under their arms.

Tbh the JS situation is hard for me. As I've mentioned before, I wasn't a fan of Chris until Jan 2021.

I worked for Disney and sold his action figures and knew every possible trivia about Steve Rogers known to man. But I considered him the most boring of the Avengers, I didn't even watch the Cap movies before I saw Infinity War (on the premiere cus we got tickets lol) and was thoroughly confused when he showed up on screen bc I did not realize it was Cap. lol. So I was not a part of the fandom when he dated Jenny, but to my understanding, it was a complete fucking mess.

I've learned some stuff about them. I heard the podcast. Back then I didn't realize she was still married. I was horrified when I realized. If you've been following me for a while, you know I have an absolute zero tolerance when it comes to cheating. It goes back to my past and is a non-negotiable.

It was so obvious they were into each other, perhaps even dating (which is just awful, she even fucking mentioned her husband during it and I was like ???), and he definitely backtracked on some of his answers if she said she disagreed. I don't think he should be commenting on women's body hair, but I don't blame him for expecting someone to be groomed when he keeps it groomed himself (I'm the same. I keep my stuff neat, do the same or I'm not going down there. The worst thing in the world is getting a hair on your tongue when you're sucking dick, it's gross af).

The pits I didn't even consider being rude bc he is just a dumb man. His dumb man brain has been wired to think it's gross bc society thinks it is.

Also keep in mind that the man is not very progressive like that. He's bad a technology (he had an iphone 6 up until this year and has been complaining about losing it ever since) so despite him being publicly progressive when it comes to politics and rights (which is actually the reason I became a fan, the way he trashed Trump publicly was an exact match to when I'd drink wine and watch the debates in 2020 and rant about it on my instagram) I don't actually think he's that progressive when it comes to everything else.

I think he believes himself to be a feminist, and I think he also is merely bc he believes it, but I also think he's the type of guy to be so proud of being a feminist that it actually goes the opposite way. That he'll accidentally brush over women's opinions, or talk over them to get his point across, despite his point being about their rights. Idk if that makes sense, but it goes with something Jenny wrote in her book about him not being able to shut the fuck up.

I think Jenny is problematic (I didn't know about the tweets and stuff initially, I was horrified when I realized) and I find it odd that he would say they were "the same animal." That's concerning when she's made such derogatory/just dumb statements in the past. But he's always had absolutely horrible taste in women.

Minka was problematic too, and so was Jessica. I also hate this part but he did hook up with Kristin Cavallari and I can't stand her (Team LC for life baby !!!)

Anywho this is long I apologize lol

Hey you said that some of the transformers comics were jumping in price bc of paper shortages and limited prints due to poor sales. Is that true basically across the board, and they might go down if IDW prints more of them? I'm trying to collect the phase two hardcover collections and for some reason I can find all of them at retail price or lower, but there's like 3 copies of volume 5 online at any given time and they're 3-4x the retail price, and it's driving me crazy. (and the fact that it looks like phase 3 doesn't include the last 2-3 volumes-worth or so, and I can't tell if they just haven't published it yet, or it's going from limbo straight to never-published hell thanks to the reboot and IP sale...)

Ohhh this is about my SotW TPB post I take it?

So all the below is 100% conjecture for the record, and it is perfectly likely that I am wrong in every regard, but this is just what I've seen discussed these past few years in both fandom and publishing generally. Grain of salt, etc. Sorry to go into wayyy more detail than you asked for anon, but I figure while we're here and since I've seen people ask similar questions, may as well give all the advice I have to offer!

So yes, the reason they have jumped in price is they're out of print, period, and it is indeed more or less across the board bar brand new releases (which are likely getting 1-2 printings tops) as far as anyone can tell. We think this has been the case for a while, actually. A lot of stuff just didn't fully sell out everywhere so the last few copies in stock made it seem "in print" for a lot of titles, but then when IDW lost the license and people ran to buy up copies, well. Turns out those were just leftovers, mostly? So the prices started going way up.

The hypothesis in fandom is that IDW has almost certainly been running on a 'reprint only if needed' policy for at least some of their books for quite some time now, putting off doing new print runs for trades to avoid slapping a lot of cash down for a run that might take years to sell out and fully make a profit. Because again, publishing right now is expensive and risky for various reasons, so the threshold gets higher and higher before you want to go for it, especially for something as high-cost as full colour comics, especially for smaller print runs period.

So the stuff that the original print runs of haven't sold out yet are going for RRP, and that includes a lot of the more recent books, plus just some random older ones. Once they sell out, the price skyrockets. This leads to weird, random stuff being way more expensive, like volume 5 of the IDW phase 2 collection as you said, or volume 8 of MTMTE (saw one of those go for £110 not long ago).

(Also, stuff that came out before this was likely to be quite so big an issue isn't as badly hit even once out of print. LSotW is much cheaper than SotW despite both being out of print and both being in high demand. Why? LSotW probably got more and/or larger print runs. Not just because it's been out longer, but because when it was out, IDW may not have been as shy about when they reprinted stuff. See also: AHM is cheap as hell still, it's not as in demand and they probably just... printed way more copies total before the problem struck.)

For most of the TF stuff that's just sort of. It, really. They're not re-printing when the license is going next year, why would you. Buy whatever you can now tbh, if it's worth it to you; there's already MTMTE volumes on UK ebay not only being offered for £100+ but bought for £100, which means it's not people trying their luck and failing.

For the hardback collection volumes, though, there is the caveat people have speculated whether it's remotely possible IDW have retained the rights to finish publishing the rest of those comics in that specific collection past 2022. That is PURE speculation to be clear and not backed up by anything solid. The sole reason a few people think this is that they are, as you say, going ahead with the next phase three omnibus release as late as September 2022, which neither brings them remotely close to finishing the series nor makes a lot of sense if they are hoping to get them all out before losing the license January 2023. So we're wondering if they're not scrapping it because the transfer of rights allowed them to keep those in print, in which case maaaaybe reprints of earlier volumes will happen... but on the other hand maybe they're just. Gonna release a random last volume and let it end uncompleted. WHO KNOWS.

All of this may be eased somewhat if the new rights holder chooses to re-print IDW1 comics to make some cash off them, of course! The caveat being, there's a lot of IDW1 comics that just aren't... well remembered or beloved the way stuff like e.g. Wreckers is, so unless they specifically pick up the hardback omnibus series that covers the entire run, it's unlikely we'll see every comic physically reprinted even then. Some of this stuff is probably never going to see a physical re-release. Alas. They're a lot more likely to do a fancy MTMTE/LL omnibus release than like. Any of the random IDW1 crossover comics. (Which, sure, they're not worth it or anything half the time, but on principle it makes me sad, haha.)

tl;dr: it's not likely to get better for these versions, and we won't know til it's too late if the new comic publisher will make new versions. sorry. :(

i think it was shanspear on youtube that raised this point that really stuck with me. it might be impossible to have productive conversations about AI when there's still so much profit incentive behind it.

like people are not that naive. they can acknowledge how exciting it could be to make an image from their imagination with the help of a machine. they can see the interesting and thought provoking potentials of machine generated art. i doubt i'm the only one who thinks the AI art = evil mindset has a bit too far especially when it's led to more kneejerk reactions against machine calculated tech that has existed since forever like video game npc behaviors. all of the conversations online feel so jarring when real world consequences actually happen like adobe kneeing in on the topic to tighten the noose on copyright laws to profit corporations even more. when it comes to the everyday person arguing on the internet, both sides are being played

and then somebody who heard about the adobe bullshit sees the writers and actors strike demanding against AI and opposes that bc now suddenly anti-AI is bad

and the thing is i can't really blame that person nor the anti-AI artists who probably supported the adobe bullshit before they knew the outcome. bc like. AI rapidly taking over really came out of nowhere to the average person and i think it's really unfair to expect people to immediately know the ins and outs of it. it's like when nfts were popping and artists were suddenly expected to navigate ideas from fields they have no knowledge of to legit culty mentalities, they're expected to know so much just to argue with some guy who doesn't know the first thing about what makes a drawing nice to look at. can you really blame every artists for not being able to write dissertations on how AI works and why they think it's illegitimate and should be regulated? they're busy actually making art and managing 14 social media accounts at once to keep themselves relevant and in the eyes of potential client so they can affording fucking rent. if they're presented copyright laws as a crutch to get this problem out of their mind of course they're going to take that as an argument, and may even support it.

like hell back in the nft days japanese artists got sold the system as a way to really combat disrespectful usage of their art by other people when in truth it did none of that, the market in fact encouraged theft.

ignorance is objectively bad, but at the same time can you really blame them when these techs keep seemingly pop out of nowhere and spawn societal issues and artists feel like now they have to have a stem degree and become a fucking humanitarian to tell people to Stop. when the simple fact is it really fucking sucks to work on your craft for so many years, to actually put in effort and spirit to do a good job, and then find out your potential clients would be fine with what a machine took 5 seconds to spit out. while artists are arguing with little twitter gremlins gloating to them about how artists are nothing compared to AI, some publications are already using AI instead of commissioning illustrators, and in every industry people are legit getting replaced by AI bc it costs less and it saves the suits at the top from having to treat people like people. and then you realize you can't really argue against the fact that human CAN be replaced. but you know just because it's true doesn't mean that it's good and should be allowed to continue. and no matter what opinion you hold there's corporations and agents and pr people left and right waiting to weaponize your feelings because there's money to be made money money money. the money that artists already weren't making before fucking algorithms could do their job for much less in return.

like i just wanna fucking draw man. and i think i'm allowed to hope to make a living from the skills i have. a few months ago posts kept coming out about how to watermark your art and use services to make sure really sure 100% sure this time that their art won't be added to a dataset. people delete their art after hearing about the theft, not knowing it's already been included in the dataset and there it will remain. do you know how fucking exhausting that is? there's a reason not everybody became a scientist or a programmer, we can never not live in a reality where we're not depending on other people to excel in what we can't and trusting that they're doing their job well. and then one day some guy in tech decides we're actually done depending on artists for being artists now, we want to make the money that they could make. every AI user can't help but think people with anti-AI criticism are attacking them personally. and it's not even those AI users that directly caused hollywood to want to screen actors' likeness to make a robot do their job forever and make execs so much fucking money.

I think some years ago you drew a Gordon daki sketch- was that ever finished? 👀 Asking for a friend and also for myself

Wow you’re bringing up memories I didn’t know I had. I... I don’t know how to find that sketch but I wouldn’t be against drawing one. Maybe a HEV suit and a regular Black Mesa lab coat version?

#Half-Life #Gordon Freeman #dakimakura #would have to find a way to get them made and sold bc I can't make them myself #personal #text #dollar-store-glados

Devilish nights || A fantastic 3 one-shot!

I love this idea ngl, I love the dynamic between the three of them! And I tried to do them justice here but... there's definitely a Whole ass ranch for improvement... :C

also Diavolo is Mexa xd

Summary: the fantastic three go to a concert but things don't go as planned.

Additional notes: I was going to make this a comic but decided against it since it was gonna take me much more time to finish it, but perhaps I'll do it as a small follow up to this one-shot.

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️

There's a reason why the Demon elite are very protective of their private life...you see: everyone has a side of their personality only the ones closest to us are allowed to see and for the demon prince, the avatar of pride and the loyal butler this is no exception.

—Uhhh?!?! You're going out?!!—all 6 brothers questioned in surprise.

—Yes, and I hope that when I arrive, the house is not a mess!— Replied the avatar of pride as he placed a distinctive blue coat over his shoulders.

—Ehhh? Are you going on vacation to the human realm, Lucifer ?! And without me ?! How cruel!—Asmodeus inquired dramatically, hugging his older brother's arm like a child begging his mother to go out and play.

The black-haired demon was unfazed by the avatar of lust childish demeanor, released himself from his grasp with ease and continued with his speech.

—Diavolo has important matters to resolve in the human realm and he needs me and Barbatos to support him, it is not a vacation.—

—I hope all of you behave in my absence; Satan, you're in charge, ”Lucifer declared.

-What?!?! Satan in charge ?! - the rest complained.

—As much as it bothers me to admit it… Satan is the most responsible among you — Lucifer looked at the blonde demon in the eyes — I'm counting on you — and the avatar of pride came out hurriedly before he could even hear the answer of the fourth brother.

—Don't— whispered the avatar of wrath as his lips settled into a sinister smile at the plan that was being formulated in his head.

[…]

—Ahhh ~ finally it's THE day! I can't wait any longer !!!— upon hearing the title "prince of hell" we could normally assume that the person bearing it is someone intimidating, ruthless and rude; but there he was ... the heir to the throne of the Devildom jumping all over the place with immeasurable enthusiasm, glow sticks in each hand and a white shirt with the image of a sun with the face of Luis Miguel on the chest.

—Diavolo, I'd appreciate it if you could calm down a bit.

—Calm down?! Lucifer! I have been waiting for this for years! I will finally be able to be at a concert of my favorite singer from the human realm! Do you have any idea how much I struggled to get these tickets?!?! I had to do it the human way! line and everything!—The redhead claimed at the lack of enthusiasm from his best friend.

—His majesty stopped time and he moved a couple of old ladies to be able to acquire the tickets in the front row; it would be appreciated if you showed a bit of enthusiasm, Lucifer.—Barbatos finally spoke, the same formal and cold smile always etched on his face to which Lucifer could only replay in the same way.

—Oh! I won't let you two ruin my night with your formalities! At least pretend you're as excited as I am!—Diavolo begged but his stoic companions could only mutter a mocking “yeeei”as they waved their respective glow sticks reluctantly and the prince of hell could only roll his eyes.

[…]

Mistakes happen, they happen when we least expect them and even worse; at too inconvenient moments.

—Quick, Lucifer, we're next!— The tallest of the 3 hurried, still jumping up and down.

—Give me a second — The black-haired demon searched in his pockets for the tickets that Diavolo had asked him to keep until the day of the concert because he was afraid of losing them among all the paperwork that week and knowing the responsible nature of his friend he entrusted them to him .

The thing is ... Lucifer could not find the tickets ... and when he realized this, with all the tranquility of the world: he cleared his throat, clasped his hands and positioned himself firmly like a teacher about to explain something to a child .

—Diavolo, in terms of tickets… I forgot the ttickets— At first the prince of hell gave his friend an incredulous look and even proceeded to laugh.

—Sure, stop playing games, Lucifer— the redhead expected a laugh from his friend followed by him handing over the tickets, but that gesture never came.

—Your Majesty I think Lucifer is not joking— Barbatos corrected

And oh my god, have you ever seen a child's face when you take a toy that he just can’t have out of his hands? And then the endless crying begins? Yes, at that moment the heir to the throne of hell simply bursted in tears.

—It’s Okay, your majesty, everything is going to be fine— The butler tried to calm him down by patting him on the back.

—Diavolo, I can buy others, don't worry— But the redhead only limited himself to pointing at the sign above the theater entrance "Sold out" was written in large letters.

—Well… I guess I owe you the next concert, how about we go to your favorite restaurant, hmm? My treat — Despite his offer, his friend only let out a sigh of despair and helplessness.

—You have no idea where you left them?

—Ummm… I guess in my office…

—Tell your brothers to bring them to you! Please!!— Lucifer was quick to dial Satan's number, because by the way things were he would not be surprised if Diavolo's despair at this moment led him to pray.

By pure chance, Lucifer noticed that he had several unanswered messages and calls from one of the angels: Simeon

—You can't reach them?—the prince questioned

Lucifer just stood there, glaring at his phone with a mixture of regret and anger.

"Damm you Simeon" was all that came to mind.

—Oh? Aren't those Solomon, Simeon and Luke?—Barbatos voice interrupted his thoughts.

And sure enough, there at the entrance of the theatre were the inhabitants of purgatory hall, dressed in human world clothing, waiting in line, the youngest of the group with tickets in hand.

—Oh!? I didn't knew they had bought tickets for this!

—They didn't

—How do you know?

—Because those are YOUR tickets!

—What?!?!—Diavolo's confused expression was quickly met with Lucifer's phone right in front of his face, showing him the text messages.

—I'll go get them—but before the avatar of pride could take another step towards the purgatory hall group, Barbatos hand stopped him in his tracks.

—Your Majesty, I believe Luke's birthday is just in a few days and he seems to be enjoying himself, why don't we let them keep the tickets?—the butler suggested politely.

It took a couple of seconds for the prince of hell tho make his desicion, but the smile on the small angel face made all trace of doubt dissipate, and with a heavy sigh he finally spoke.

— leat it be, Lucifer...

—...are you sure of it, Diavolo?

—yes, perhaps next year we'll go together...all of us, right?

Lucifer was surprised but with a small smile forming on his face he said yes.

—Now... who's hungry?! We should go to the fanciest place in town, after all, It's Lucifer's treat!—the prince joked

—Perhaps the restaurant we attended last year would be fine, your Majesty?

—Ah yes! That would do!

And while Lucifer's wallet had started regretting his desicions, he was happy he could spend this evening with his dearest friends.

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️

I was going to put a drawing of the fantastic three hanging out but I only did Diavolo bc while I was finishing Barbatos and Lucifer my computer crashed and didn't save anything :c

So here's a Diavolo in front of bellas artes to compensate:

If you find any grammatical errors let me know! I'm trying to improve my english and that would help me so so much!

I will forever thank you if you go check out my other profile: @aileysmirnov  where I post things about my OC: edits, one-shots, imagines, art, etc. If you like Greek mythology and the bat family maybe you would get to be as fond of her as much as I am!

Anyway, thank you for reading!
