since ive been too College to have enough art for any sort of summary im just gonna put a general year end rundown of what i feel i did best on this year!!

i think every year since i figured out that i dont need to use pens to line has just gotten better art wise for me. FUCK lining. pencils are my best friends forever and ever and can do your job better than you ever could. anyway apologies for some of these drawings being crunchier than others, i only recently got a scanner and Cannot be assed to scan my old art for this post rn.

also the first art here is a hatoful boyfriend spoiler. i mean i guess the last one is too but its vaguer i think. anyway. none of these are actually analyses of what i learned with each art im just braining

april 5th-

you guys know this one i REALLY like it. why in the goddamn were my best pieces this year hatoful boyfriend. anyway i uh. hey did you know that i didnt do the notgeki with graphite because i like mixed media. i did it because i have not owned a grey pencil for my some-teen years of drawing ever. i only JUST got a grey pencil like. a couple months ago. i mean im good with graphite i would have done it like that anyway but. yeah. anyway this was abt the height of my beginning hatoful fix and Also indirectly what got me to meet like a bunch of my mutuals here!! i did. not know there was a hatoful community. and because That i actually started using tumblr so!! hey thanks hitori. i need to do more birdform art.

april 15th -

this motherfucker! ill be. completely honest i dont have a lot of feedback for a lot of my graphite art bc ive Been doing this. ok actually yknow what i will say. there is a limit for how dark something can be with graphite and i Very much remember going over the inside of the cloak So Much. this was my pet project during my weekly 3 hour long lecture so god bless it. also i do still like how i did the eye. can i draw eye guys exclusively please.

july 3rd -

not really Art im proud of but!! holy shit i dont design often and i dont hate this!! this is at least in part thanks to my gf. my gf knows how to clothes better than i do so i did ask them for help. also i really need to scan this one. or maybe draw her a new ref. anyway (holds up celine) look at her. look at the silly.

september 6th -

this one was a trade for my friend raicatty and. also something i probably should have scanned. but its fine. anyway this one did teach me something and its To Line Your Damn Pieces Darker. lining with the color that youre going to be coloring in is kind of Asking For Disaster if it overlaps with others and u can. see that. this is a bit imparseable. but its also pretty. and thats all that really matters. a fun fact for when i ever do commissions is that being allowed to use this purpley pink pencil i have will make me really happy. its so pretty.

OERSHRIMP INTERLUDE

november 13 -

forgive me for including a sketch in this but YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DRAW HUMANS. like. NEVER. much less in an actual decent pose. (god bless adorkastock) im So very delighted by this oboromaru and hes!! like!! one of my least favorite characters!! (not to say i dislike him hes just lower). i dont know what happened here!! if this wasnt at the very back of my Sketchbook I Just Put Away Because It Was Falling Apart id say id finish this one later. rip. he and that dark daroach sketch i had there can just vibe i guess.

aaand the big one. december 8th -

things i learned from this one! 1. the scanner did not pick up the red lines very well! 2. scanners are good! 3: NEVER do a full page project again! buuut i do want to say i am like. insanely proud of this one. its the first art ive done i can really say has any sort of Composition and im so delighted that it turned out just as cool as it looked in my head. also this took forever and i could have easily messed it up Multiple times in the process. so god bless.

#an ongoing problem ive been having w my colored pencil stuff is that u can see my pencil lines through a lot of it #especially if its got warmer colored lines #but ive kinda?? accepted it?? since my lines tend to be too light and imparseable anyway if theres pencil underneath you can tell #mm its not the best solution and it still bugs me but shrugs.#vee shut up #look at my art boy

Wait wait wait tell us abt the Walmart piercer please!! That sounds horrible!

WHEEZE so like, graphic description+picture of scarring from a botched piercing below the cut,, but,,

I have 8 total ear piercings (I do intend on getting more) but currently only have 4 in one ear and 2 in the other, and the two most recent holes on my left ear are closed up and scarred over. I've always gotten them done at Walmart (because all of them were from childhood where I didn't get a choice of piercer), and for the last set of earrings I got (the ones that are closed now) I was 18 and tried very very hard to convince my mom to let me get them done by a real piercer and not a piercing gun. I tried to explain that they're dangerous and result in infections really often because the people using them often aren't trained very well and they're rarely actually sanitized. I didn't have control over my own transportation at the time, so I didn't have a way to do it differently when my mom said "no it's fine, we've both always gotten them done by piercing guns and it's never gone bad" (not true, she has something like 12 piercings and has had to have several redone too)

So we end up going to Walmart to get it done, and red flag #1 they had to redo the pen mark like 4-5 times to line up the piercings evenly on both sides, red flag #2 the piercer didn't actually speak to me, she spoke to my mom and barely looked at me except to line up the gun, and red flag #3 she was also chatting to her coworker more than she was paying attention to what she was loading into the piercing gun (we had to stop her and course correct that they had to be *gold bars*, not silver, because I'm allergic to metals that aren't gold and it'll need to come straight out and a new one will need to be put in. We already picked the bars, she just had a few out and kept picking up the wrong ones because she wasn't paying attention. Bonus red flag, she didn't sanitize the piercings or the gun, and when I pointed it out, she basically ignored me and told my mom instead that "we sanitize it afterwards anyway, so it doesn't matter" (basically hoping+assuming the person before her had done a good enough job, however long ago that was)

First pierce went "okay" (it was a little crooked but didn't hurt much, it was only later when I needed to change the bars for hoops that I realized how crooked, because it still lies weird in my ear and pointed towards my face instead of straight ahead) but the second one was 1. No warning 2. Extremely painful and made me flinch with the gun still in my ear because 3. She had fully turned her head away from me to talk to a passing customer she knew and was excited to see right before she pulled the trigger. The result was a hole that was in the wrong place entirely (too far down, close to another piercing below it), very bleedy/weepy, and a weirdly "corkscrewed" hole? When I had to change the bar to a hoop, it took 45 minutes and a LOT of tears to twist it around inside until it finally came out the other side. For the year that I insisted on keeping it in (because I couldn't redo it) (personal reasons yknow how it is) I suffered constant reinfections, internal pus spots inside of my ear, ear infections in general, migraines, generally getting sick more often, infection of the already-established piercing below it, and eventual rejection of both the original and lower piercing that meant I had to remove and close both holes and just bank on being able to repierce as an adult (I was 18 when it was pierced, 19 when this happened, and I'm turning 23 this year and it's still not redone lol)

Here's how it looks now, sorry about the blurry photo, my phone won't focus properly in front cam mode

You can see just how long I let them both reject for before I gave up lmao (scars are the puffy lighter parts above the two hoops, for those unfamiliar)

And here's the other side, so you can see just how crooked that piercing really is. No, I'm not holding my ear weird, it just sits like that and bothers me when I wear headphones. I considered letting this hole close too and just getting it redone, but I wanted to talk to a real piercer first and get their opinion on if it can be fixed first since I've never actually spoken to one or know the limitations of piercing over existing scars

Anyway yeah don't do piercing guns, kids, and don't make your kids do piercing guns either if they ask you for a real piercer appointment :|

#sorry if this reads like a vent btw in my defense this was a harrowing and painful experience #and a whole year of poor overall health+constant reinfections #which like. could have been easily avoided #so i might still be a little bitter about it #but anyway yeah :^) im an Adult now and ive Moved Out of my moms house Using All The Pride YCH Commission Monie i got #so hopefully i can actually get real piercings this time #and like!!! you can clearly see i have other piercings. it wasnt because i wasnt taking good care of it #but having to take out and steralize the hoops and put them back in with a triple antibiotic ointment #every single time they blew up and got infected #got very old very quickly #they-who-wander #ask

Summary: You get Venom for the evening, but not in the way you wanted.

Day 19!

A/n: In no way, shape or form is this a spoiler for Venom 2, this was a stupid idea I had-- But I felt the need to clarify that it's not a spoiler just in case people yknow..Began to accidentally spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it.

All you wanted was to enjoy dinner, but Eddie and Venom had gotten into another disagreement. Over what you kept asking yourself? You didn't bother to keep track. You opted to mind your business and just eat your food before something terrible unfolded.

There goes Eddie, flying into the metal shelves, tipping them over and sending everything on them flying. Oh, there he goes again, right into the fridge, knocking it over. Everything that was in there- That you just spent your last paycheck on it now ruined. How lovely.

There goes the coffee tablet that you also just replaced. For the third time this month.

"That is a two thousand dollar tv!" You heard Eddie yell.

Oh? Oh, so now he's concerned about the well being of the items....But only his things. Delightful.

There goes the toaster oven. That's okay, you hated that thing anyways. Oh man, the cupboard. The sound of all the glasses shattering on the floor made you glance up for only a second. Your mother bought you those when you moved out all those years ago.

You were about to take another bite when Eddie was thrown into the table, leaving only you in your chair with your fork in hand. Eddie didn't even seem to acknowledge that you were there as he got dragged away and slammed into the couch.

You dropped your fork onto the floor and stood up and nonchalantly walked over to the couch. That's where your demeanor changed. You knew damn well Venom would never do anything to make you mad or hurt you, so you pinned Eddie down to the couch and grabbed onto some of Venoms tendrils, pulling slightly.

"That is enough!" You shouted.

They both looked at you in surprise.

"Why are you on me?" Eddie asked as if that was the real problem.

"Why am I- Look at what you two have done to the apartment!" You waved your free hand around, "You two have wrecked this place for the last time and have officially gotten on my last nerve."

Eddie looked around at the mess they made. Well, Venom made.

"You two are going to clean this place up and you're going to make up or so help me," You let go over Venom and glared at them both, "I will separate the two of you and make you sit in opposite corners of this apartment until you decide to be nice to each other."

You were still fuming as you looked down at Eddie, who seemed more apologetic than his other half. You really wanted to be upset with them and their antics but you knew what you were getting into when you started dating them both. This was just part of the whole deal. Doesn't mean you like it.

You sighed and hung your head in defeat, "Man, I just mopped the floors yesterday. And I restocked the fridge- Eddie, you guys are driving me nuts."

Eddie frowned a little, "I'm sorry- We're sorry. Look, we'll make it up to you. We'll clean this whole place up and fix everything we broke."

"You two promise?"

"I swear." Eddie said, "I promise that by this time next week, every last stain will be gone."

"How about you, V?"

The symbiote just seemed to stare at you, like he was thinking. He was definitely formulating some sort of plan.

"Venom-"

"Oh, I promise. But on my terms."

"Your terms?" You and Eddie both asked.

Venom's grin seemed to widen. You didn't like the shiny glint in his eye. You tilted your head a little, "What do you want then?"

"I want you." He replied with a hint of mischief in his tone.

You crossed your arms and huffed, "Now is hardly the time for that. You're in just as much trouble as the meathead I'm sitting on."

"Hey." Eddie whined, "I take personal offense to that."

"You're not getting out of this so easily, Venom." You kept using his full name, so he understood that you meant business.

"Oh." He replied, "I understand."

And just as you thought that the crazy had died down, it just started up again. Venom lunged at you, knocking you over the arm of the couch and onto the floor. It wasn't done out of malice, the exact opposite, really. You opened your eyes, expecting to see Venom, but all you saw was Eddie, who was slung over the arm of the couch.

You looked around, "What was that for?"

You couldn't see him floating around anywhere. Your entire body felt heavy, but in a way that you couldn't explain. You didn't feel alone anymore.

Eddie groaned as he rubbed his head. He sat back on the couch, rubbing his eyes, "It feels like a weight has been lifted."

Eddie froze, eyes widening as he patted his hands over his body, letting out a loud chuckle, "He's not- Where'd he go? V?" Eddie began looking under the couch and even sifted through the remains of the table, "Hey, that's not funny. Get back here."

"Eddie," You said with a shaky voice, "I think I know where he is."

Eddie's head whipped over to your form, which was still sprawled out on the floor, "Oh no."

You sat up, looking over your shoulder to see Venom just floating there. He looked as smug as ever, "Oh, yeah."

"What are you doing?" You asked, your voice cracking, "Seriously, why did you do that?"

"You said you'd separate us, so I simply sped up the process."

"I meant time out!" You shouted, "I would never physically separate you two! How the hell would I even do that?"

"You'd start by asking nicely."

"Venom this isn't funny." You scrambled to your feet, "You go back to Eddie right now."

"No. He's being mean to me."

"I got this." Eddie said with determination as he walked over to you, "I can fix this."

You weren't sure how the hell he was going to "fix this" but whatever worked I guess. You jumped a little when he cupped your face and pulled you into a kiss. Again, you weren't sure how this was going to fix things, but weirder has happened. It lasted a lot longer than you were expecting.

Eddie pulled away, feeling no changes to himself at all, "Weird. That worked last time."

"What." You stared at him, "What do you mean that worked last time. How the hell do you even figure something like that out."

"It was his idea."

"What." You repeated. You wanted to know what the fuck he meant by that. Like how on earth did this man figure out that making out with an alien would- No, no, let's not think of that right now.

"Maybe if I do it again-"

You hands waved him off, but it clearly wasn't your doing.

"There will be no more kissing. You are going to sleep in the bed-" Venom used several tendrils to pick Eddie up and toss him into the bedroom, "-Alone."

Venom slammed the door with such force that the whole thing just split in half, collapsing onto the floor.

"And we will be sleeping on the couch." Venom maneuvered your body to the couch where he threw you down, forcing you to cross your arms once more.

You heard Eddie groan a little as he was picking himself up off the floor. You wanted to go help him but Venom wouldn't let you.

The dust had settled and the apartment was quiet, minus the few creaks of the broken lights and the hum of the wrecked fridge.

"You know," You said, "Normally when you're mad at someone, especially the boyfriend, you make him sleep on the couch. Not the other way around."

Venom wrapped around your arm, "But he should see how empty the bed is. Maybe then he will realize how big of a jerk he's being."

"Doesn't really work like that. I think he's going to enjoy all the space. Maybe we should go hog the mattress so he'll have no choice but to come out here."

"I don't want to look at him. I don't want to talk to him," Venom was practically vibrating with anger.

You planted a gentle kiss on the top of his tiny head, "Calm down, danger noodle. If you don't want to talk to him, then talk to me."

"He's always just- Mean to me. What am I supposed to do." Venom seemed to pout, which you didn't know he was capable of, "He never lets me eat bad guys anymore, says chickens and big macs are better- I don't even like big macs. But he never listens."

"What do you like then?" You asked, trying to get his mind off of things.

Venom looked at you with genuine love, "You really want to know?"

"Yes. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't, my dear.." You replied, "I just figured maybe I can be the messenger. See, you tell me what you want said, and I can tell Eddie. Boom, you don't even have to talk to him."

Venom seemed to like that idea. He had the ball in his court, as he's heard humans say.

"It'd be nice to have a bad guy just...Every once in a while, you know. I'm tired of chickens, and fast food. And I'd like to be appreciated for all the work I do keeping this city safe. All Eddie ever does is boss me around."

"He can be kinda bossy."

"He didn't even appreciate the breakfast I made for us this morning."

"I liked it." You replied, "Not once did I think eggs and ketchup go together, but they do. Surprisingly well, actually."

"You really liked it?"

"Of course! I liked it even more because you made it." You said, smiling at him, "C'mon, let's be honest. You're the real chef out of us three."

"I wish Eddie could be nicer sometimes. Like you. Instead he's just a-"

"Ass?"

"Yeah."

"I can hear you." Eddie said from the bedroom.

"Then hear this!" Venom said, forcing your hand into the air, waggling around the middle finger.

"I can't hear anything, but if you're doing a middle finger, then have one back you dick!"

"You two really are made for each other." You said loudly, "Why don't you guys just apologize already."

"No!" They both said.

"And why won't you apologize, Eddie?" You asked.

You heard Eddie shuffle through the door as he poked his head into view, "You kidding me? All he does is bitch and moan about eating people and doing this and doing that! What about me and my feelings? He never bothers to think about those, does he?"

"I pay attention, you just never want to talk."

"I can't talk to you," Eddie said defensively, "It's like talking to a dog with the world's worst attention span. It's in one ear and out the other!"

"You forget that I remember everything. So rephrased that." Venom made your body sit up, pointing an accusatory finger at him.

Eddie lightly smacked your hand out of his face, "Don't use them as your freaky little meat puppet. Be a- A m- An alien about this."

"Oh, how clever." Venom would roll his eyes if he could, "Why don't you just be a man and apologize."

"You first, slime ball."

"No, you."

"Guys-"

"You!"

"No, i said you!"

"Guys!"

They looked at you. You looked at them both and took a deep breath, "Do you really want to waste all of our time just fighting?"

"Yes." Venom said, "I do."

"I don't." Eddie admitted, "But I'm not apologizing. I'm always the one that has to apologize. He's never said sorry for anything, and to be honest, I don't think he is sorry."

"You're right. I'm not."

"Eddie," You said, almost pleading with him, "Please just do something. I'm tired of all of this. You guys have torn this place to shreds- I- I'm just exhausted."

"You're exhausted?" Venom asked sarcastically, "Try being in the same body as that loser."

You slumped forward, mentally waving your white flag, "I give up."

"Give up?" Venom asked, every last ounce of attitude gone.

"Well, yeah. You two clearly aren't going to get over anything anytime soon, so I just gotta deal with it, right?"

Venom looked at Eddie, who returned the stare. No words were said, and it didn't seem like any were needed. They both knew what should have been said, but they were both too arrogant and prideful to say it.

"I'm going to bed." Eddie said, walking over and laying down on the floor, dusting off one of the spare couch pillows and laying his head on it.

You laid down and looked down at him, "Why are you down there?"

"You really thing I'm going to sleep on that big ass mattress by myself?" Eddie looked up at you, "I wouldn't be doing much sleeping in there anyways."

Venom disappeared into your body, and you were sure he clocked out for the night. You told him the usual goodnight and love you, but he didn't answer. You could feel that he shared the sentiment, though.

"I'm sorry. Again." Eddie said quietly as he watched you turn off the only working lamp, "I really am. And, I guess I can apologize to Venom too."

You got comfortable on the couch again, making sure to dust off the last bits of glass and wood, "I'm sure he appreciates that."

"I guess we were both just frustrated with having to live by certain rules. I'm constantly paranoid about the law finding us, and I guess I really never took how he felt into consideration." Eddie seemed sincere, "I just figured if I made sure we did what we had to, then we could just go back to living our lives how they were."

You silently nodded at his words, slinging an arm down to the floor and taking his hand. Eddie held your hand, rubbing his thumb on the back of it, "But I also get tired of having to be the bigger person about it all the time. It's hard always having to be the one to clean up the messes- Metaphorically and literally.."

Venom, despite being quiet, took Eddie's words to heart. He realized that, even though his own feelings were valid, he was only willing to see one side of the conflict how he wanted. To Venom, Eddie was just trying to keep him in this boring cage. Venom felt like he wasn't allowed to do anything about it, because at the end of every day, he knew Eddie was right.

They did have to be careful about what the did. Venom doesn't like that, but he's been tolerating it.

"Maybe we can have a civil conversation in the morning." You yawned, "And surely we can fix this whole mess."

"I'd like that."

"Who knows, maybe he'll get you one of those cheesy cards from the dollar store."

Eddie smiled at the thought, "I'd like that too. Hell, that might be easier than talking, to be honest. I'd accept that as an apology."

"Maybe I can convince him that it's a good idea."

"Maybe." Eddie yawned, "Hate to sound like a crybaby, but I kinda miss him already."

"He's literally right here. Inside- No- With me."

"Yeah, but it's not the same.." Eddie sighed, drowsiness taking over, "I guess I'll try talking to him in the morning. That's about all I can do."

You smiled softly at Eddie, wishing him the same good night and telling him that you loved him. He, of course, returned the favor, kissing your hand. You both closed your eyes for the night. Eddie thought he'd finally get a good night's sleep without an alien living in the back of his mind, but he was mistaken.

The sun beams leaked through every last claw mark in the curtains, shining down into your face. You scrunched up your nose a little as you covered your eyes. You rolled over on the couch, groaning at the ache in your back. Which was weird because, based on what Eddie's told you, he fixes that.

You immediately sat up, feeling your own body. It felt empty. Did Venom up and leave when you were both sleeping. You felt terrible.

That's when your eyes focused on the apartment. It was spotless. Everything was fixed and put back into its place. The fridge was fixed, and even the bedroom door was brand new. The floors were swept and polished. Three plates of breakfast were made and sitting at the table.

Everything was exactly how it was before.

Believing that Eddie did this, you turned to look for him, finding him snoring on the floor. That's when you noticed the same card on the table. It had little heart stickers and glitter glue on it.

"Eddie," you whispered, leaning down to shake him, "Eddie."

Eddie's eyes flustered open as he looked up at you, "Good morning, my love."

You pointed to the table. Eddie didn't seem to pick on everything as he sat up. He rubbed his eyes as he grabbed the piece of paper that you were looking at.

"Is that what I think it is?" You asked, leaning over his shoulder to look.

"It's an apology card." Eddie said.

You were astounded at this revelation, but quickly remembered that Venom wasn't with you anymore. You nudged Eddie, "We have to find him."

"You don't have him?"

"No. Do you?"

Eddie almost had to think about it. Venom decided to answer for him by showing himself.

You grabbed the symbiotes floating head and began showering him with kisses, "I was so worried that you left!"

Venom seemed a lot cheerier than normal.

"Why don't you kiss me like that." Eddie whined.

"Well, if you insist."

Venom began copying your gesture of affection, peppering Eddie's faces with kisses. And just to make sure the point got across, he made sure to leave a big, long lick up Eddie's cheek. You tried to not laugh, but a few stray chuckles left.

Eddie wiped his face with the sleeve of his shirt, "Hey, look, I'm-"

"-Sorry. I know. I'm sorry too. I just wanted to be mad." Venom really did seem so sincere with his words, "But from now on, I'll do better to just listen- But only if you promise that we can do what I want every once in awhile."

"We can do anything you'd like."

"Even eat a bad guy every once in awhile?"

Eddie looked passed Venom, to the table, "Why don't we discuss this over breakfast? I'd hate for your hard work to go to waste. Nice job, by the way."

Venom looked like he was actually going to cry, "You mean it? You really mean it?"

"Absolutely."

Venom excitedly dragged the two of you over to the table. Sure, him and Eddie still had talking to do, but everything seemed to be going smoothly as is.

tag game!! ty @pocketsizedquasar for tagging me :))

1- Why did you choose your url

my url is just the same un i use for other sites that i post art on (instagram, deviantart, etc) BUT the original idea came from when i was in... shudders... middle school... there was a short period of time where i kept saying "FRICKLE FRACKLE" as a substitute for fuck or something and then i just tacked on floof because i'm a furry

i've been wanting to change my url for like a month now i'm just too scared of change lol </3

2- Any side blogs?

not... really? except for @jesperofficial but that's a joke soc roleplay blog i don't use anymore

3- How long have you been on tumblr?

since 2019 i think? it's been over a year

4- Do you have a queue tag?

no because i rarely queue you get my posts when you get them

5- Why did you start your blog in the first place?

i started this blog as a throwaway account because i wanted to join the grishaverse big bang. i didn't even want to join tumblr at the time but i wanted to be a part of the event more so i made it just so they'd have something to link back to LMAO. but then i started like... yknow talking to people who only used this site... and then i started lurking when i was really really bored... and then my friends convinced me to check the site like every day... and then i started posting only my fanart and then i downloaded the app on my phone and it was just downhill from there. sigh.

6- Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

i just like guillermo i just really like how his face came out in that drawing he looks cute <3

7- Why did you choose your header?

umm i like using my own art for stuff like this bc it makes me feel better about using images that i've created myself instead of possibly stealing from someone else and i think that drawing was cute it makes me happy :) it's kinda old though i might change it plus the fact that i added like 2394587394587 filters to it to make it fit the pink aesthetic is showing painfully

8-What’s your post with the most notes?

this jon + the admiral comic i made a while ago :) it's cute i think it's a bit cheesy and also kinda old but i'm very very proud of how i drew the admiral in that one so i'm happy that this one ended up being my top post lmao

9- How many mutuals do you have?

shit idk i don't really like the whole "mutual" thing i think we should just be friends instead of pretending that we are

10- How many followers do you have?

405 :o i didn't know that

11- How many people do you follow?

368! i don't even remember who i follow sometimes lmao

12- Have you ever made a shitpost?

probably

13- How often do you use Tumblr each day?

at least once a day </3 used to hate myself for it but now i just embrace it

14- Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

ummm i mean i GUESS you could call them fights i've gotten anon hate for stupid shit and have had um. Discussions with people about racism in the grishaverse but most of them were pretty one-sided i've never had full on reblog chains or Tumblr User Fricklefracklefloof Vs Other Tumblr User fights it's just. someone saying something and then me replying. i try to be civil.

although i did have a friend once (or ig we were just "mutuals") who flat out blocked me with no response after i said something mildly accusatory and i still haven't recovered from that </3 just communicate with me please goddamn

15- How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

i get the point they're trying to make but they're guilt trippy and ultimately don't end up solving the issue they think they're solving. (i'm assuming we're talking about the human rights posts that are all like "if you don't reblog this you're a monster!!" etc etc.) yes it's important to speak up about issues but by telling people they Have To Reblog This Or Else it just... scares people into supporting something without going through the critical thinking about it. at least that's how i see it. you can't truly support something if you don't understand wtf you're talking about. reblogging something like that for the sake of reblogging it is just... well it's performative.

16- Do you like tag games?

yes :)

[01/01/20, 12:00am]

hey, you

happy new years! its been a while, hasn't it? i hope you're doing okay. i am, too, fortunately.

im writing you for the last time to tell you something i should have,, many many years ago.

i love you, sweet moonlight. i'm sorry i didn't say it sooner. i wish i did, i wish i was the one holding you through the night. i wish i was the one who makes you smile every day. i wish i was the one who made you breakfast in bed on our anniversaries. i wish, i wish, i wish i was yours, y/n. i don't know why i'm releasing so late that i should've asked you out after that failed attempt. im sorry, y/n, that i made your life such a burden. i'm so sorry that i loved you so much that i let you go too early. i'm so so sorry.

i would go back to you if you'd let me. i would be your best friend again if it made you happy. i would be your boyfriend if we fell in love. i would turn back time if i could, to go back to when i confessed to yeonbin. it should've been you, y/n. it was always you. please, i want to feel your touch and your soothing voice. come back to me, because i would go back to you. i love you, i love you, i love you.

i miss your smile that gives off yellow. i miss the yellow flowers you used to give my sister when she was down. i miss the yellow hat you used to use all the time. you're my favourite colour, y/n. you're my yellow.

- the one that made a mistake, hwang hyunjin.

how’d u get into writing? like, writing fic and being part of the silm community, being Known, that stuff? i’m really new to being a silm cc and i’d love to know ur advice! also: how’d u build up the confidence to start posting meta/hcs? bc i have a Lot of hcs and meta ideas but also i’m really anxious abt posting them bc yknow anxiety is like that

these are some great questions, anon! I’m gonna go through them one by one :)

how’d u get into writing?

not to be like, super cliche, but I’ve...kind of always been a writer? as long as I can remember I’ve been telling stories, and when I was too young to read or write I would dictate them to my mom, who would type them up for me and help me choose clipart illustrations to accompany them. when I got old enough I would always be writing; I attempted my first novel at age 9, and while that never really went anywhere I did finish the darn thing and it had some pretty sophisticated plot twists for a 9-year-old!

like, writing fic

around the same time I got into fandom! I was deep into Warrior cats (like. really deep) and I believe I started writing my first fics when I was like? 10 or 11? my memory is kind of fuzzy on the order of things, but I know I got an account on the Warriors forums when I was 9, and that I was already posting my fic there when I made my FFN account. I believe I was 12 when that happened, but who knows. I haven’t the faintest idea of what happened with those forums, but uhhh pretty much all of my Warriors fic is still up on FFN lmao. you could probably find that if you want to but um...maybe don’t?

my first Big Fic was a self-insert of...my entire 5th/6th grade class into the then-current timeline of the Warriors books...well. I honestly think that might still be my most popular fic of all time l m a o though I try not to think about it because Hashtag Cringe. though as much as I look back on that time with a “yikes,” I am very grateful for the Warriors fandom in a way? that place was so accepting and encouraging of OCs, of AUs, of completely disregarding canon, of worldbuilding that is completely alien from canon - it was a fantastic sandbox to begin with, there were so many ways to write stories and practically all of them were accepted and had fellow fans invested in them!

and being part of the silm community,

soooo I wrote Warriors fic until my freshman year of high school (wow sdjfhkdsjfh), which was when BOTFA came out, and I was absolutely wrecked by the ending and immediately started writing my own fixit fic. I was also super hooked on Kiliel! so that was my intro to the Tolkien fandom; and simultaneously, I joined tumblr, and, well, the rest is history tbh.

I honestly do not remember when I first read the Silm, but I kind of got into the more obscure parts of the Tolkien fandom through fandom osmosis, and I do have a vague memory of doodling the Finwean family tree in geometry class so it might have been later on in freshman year? that was also the same time I was having my Queer Awakening, and Russingon definitely contributed to me unlearning my internalized queerphobia, so probably around then.

anyway - queer awakening, tumblr, Tolkien, transitioning from FFN to AO3 - all of that was happening around the same time. I know I dipped my toes in the Silm fandom then, but I was still primarily a Hobbit fic writer focusing on Kiliel. toward the end of high school I kind of shifted to LOTR and (qp) Gigolas...but somehow the Silm fandom is the most active of the Big Three within the Tolkien fandom, and I was getting dragged further and further in.

it wasn’t until @backtomiddleearthmonth 2019, my freshman year of college, that I really dove into writing Silm fic! I picked some Silm-specific bingo cards and never looked back :D that was really not all that long ago but I am obsessed in a way I don’t really remember being even with TH/LOTR, I obviously cannot see the future but I anticipate hanging out here for a long time. the Silm fandom is great overall and there’s just so much material to work with!! <3

being Known, that stuff?

so I don’t really have a whole lot of context on how “well known” I am in the fandom?? definitely within the past year and a half or so I’ve noticed that I like, get asks like this, and get a significant amount of notes on my posts, and I’ve made a lot of fandom friends especially since I joined some Silm servers on Discord (hmu if you want invites; I’m on the SWG server and 2 general Silm servers and the Russingon server) this past year. and I have 3,000 followers as of this month - and while ever since I hit 1k I don’t particularly pay attention to my follower count I can definitely say that I have more engagement now than I used to! but it took me a long time to build this “audience,” I suppose; I’ve been around the Tolkien fandom since late 2014, so nearly 6 years of this, lol.

really the best way to build a following, in my experience, is to just post a lot of stuff. when I started making edits I got a lot more engagement, because for a long time I would post one every day! (I made them in batches and queued them; I didn’t actually make one every day lol...and now I’m too busy to do that, so I just make edits for events and whenever I feel like it) And I have [checks ao3] 145 works in the Silm fandom as of today - I’m fairly prolific! I’ve come to generally expect 3-10 comments on most of my oneshots, which is a lot more than I used to have back in the day. consistency and quantity are more likely to attract people to your work - and quality, of course.

also: how’d u build up the confidence to start posting meta/hcs?

I’ve been writing since I was very young, and I’ve been writing fic for like...11 years? I think? in that time I’ve produced a lot of garbage, but imo most of that was in my Warrior cats phase, so I came into the Tolkien fandom with confidence in myself and my writing. I’m also working on original fiction on the side (I hope to eventually become a published fantasy author, but right now school takes up most of my time that I don’t devote to fandom, which gives me more immediate gratification and also is just Very Fun) and I know I’m a good writer.

basically, I’ve been doing this for like...half my life, and I’m still fairly young, so I’ve had time to build up my skill and confidence and I know I’m only going to get better with time. you will get better with practice. like I said, I’ve written a lot of terrible stuff, and it’s only through sucking for a long time that I’ve gotten to the point I am now. and I am far from perfect; I know I still have lots of room to grow!

for meta and headcanons specifically, I started with writing fic, and then when I didn’t think I could stretch something into an entire fic I would just make a hc post. I have a vivid memory of writing my first meta in a notebook during driver’s ed because it was so goddamn boring and I had Thoughts about Tauriel and Thranduil!

in my experience, meta comes from having Opinions and wanting to share them and most importantly to back them up - you need to have sources! you need to have reasons! you need to have justification! otherwise it’s not meta, it’s a headcanon or an AU. which is fine!! I love hc/AU!!! but they are not the same as meta, and I’m a stickler for being accurate when it comes to meta. if you have sources and shit to back you up, that will help you build the confidence to share your meta.

sharing disinformation and passing it off as meta instead of just coming out and saying this is a headcanon/baseless theory/AU or whatever is such a fandom pet peeve of mine; it’s not bad for something to not be Accurate! you just have to have that disclaimer - and even when you’re writing meta, you’re offering an interpretation of the text, and you need to acknowledge that other interpretations also exist and are valid.

um. I hope this answers your questions? and sorry for basically word-vomiting my entire life story, lol. this post got long; the main reason I’ve written so much fic is because I really just cannot shut up for the life of me. sooo if you can tear of that filter of being shy and just. say shit. you can go so far~!

OH and one more thing - I can’t believe I almost forgot this - but part of being a writer is participating in the community. this is code for LEAVE A DAMN COMMENT IF YOU LIKE A FIC. that’s how I made most of my fandom friends before Discord! I follow @ao3feed-silmarillion and stalk that blog for new Silm fics; I read the ones that interest me and comment on them.

I know this is not really the most common way for folks to find fic but it’s so rewarding to interact with new fic, new writers, new commentors, new stories - you can find gems that don’t rise to the top of the kudos/bookmark lists; you become friends with your fellow writers; you can watch people grow and change; you support smaller content creators. yeah, you might not be getting Just The Best Stuff, but it’s so so so worth it!!

and if you make friends in the comment section of other people’s fic - I guarantee you some of them will go to your AO3 profile and check out your fic, too! and they’ll leave comments! this is a fic community, and that’s what I cherish about fandom most of all, tbh.

anyway - again - sorry for rambling so much, but I hoped this helped! feel free to send in another ask, or to come talk to me off anon if you’d like! and definitely send me your stuff if/when you decide to share it; I would love to support you!!! <3

TPN S02E09 - Initial Thoughts (anime-only)

[ Reaction video w/ captions/subs ] we collectively have a breakdown about the pen, please enjoy it pff-

... hmmm... yeah I... ain’t feeling it. I think my tpn feelings overall are carrying this more than anything pff. I didn’t hate it, it was just...... mediocre... like if this wasn’t tpn, I probably would have dropped it at this point.

BUT IT IS TPN SO LET’S GIVE SOME THOUGHTS.

. Random thoughts I don’t want to re-arrange

when Emma was like “share your pain with us!!”, I liked how Norman turned to Ray like “Ray. help. tell her I’m right” kind of like Ray did in s1 pfff-

Norman cried the words he didn’t allow himself to say in s1 :( I’M EMOTIONAL. it might not be the icing on the cake execution wise but GOD MY HEART. And knowing he’s going to die to it’s just- (well not if the pen has something to say about it but more about that later)

where- wheres my trio hug :((( RAY HUG THE CHILD NOW

it’s interesting that while Emma got the entire emotional speech spotlight, only Ray got a reaction shot to “I won’t live long”?? equivalent.... exchange...?

I thought Norman had a seizure when he broke down in front of Emma and Ray and I kinda wish he had because while it’s good to have him say it outright (a win for communicationnn), imagine THE ANGST. “I want to live with yo- *coughs up fountains of blood*”.

So. yknow that hideout Cislo or Vincent referenced when talking to Emma and Ray. Yknow where Norman hid the children they stole from farms, making it look like demons did it? ... w-what about them? will we see them? Are they getting left behind? it would have worked for Norman’s plan, since all they had to do was stay put and wait for demons to be yeeted. But now... he’d have to take them all too. But... I doubt we’re gonna introduce a bunch of new designs and characters? Or are we? Who knows. I don’t. I have unreasonably amount of protecc feelings for those children I’ve never even seen haha- WHERE ARE THEY. I mean... the plan rn is to immediately use the gate right? or is the plan to eradicte the GF farm staff and higher ups? I guess if thats the plan it might work. Or I guess the plan is to save Phil for now???

the idea of Sonju just... slicing his arm and throwing it at demons in a loop sounds so funny to me please someone make that.

I liked that Mujika turned to the lambda kids after giving a cup to the demon children but then we didn’t see their reaction or anything and then it cuts to the temple??? that was weird. was there sth missing there? confusion.

I also like Isabella remarking "[a radio] was supposed to be there" regarding the shelter, because it further heavily implies they know of the shelters and just let them be. Which further confirms that they should have just reframed the shelter and had the kids escape from it quickly but oH WELL.

I really liked demon Emma apologizing and Norman's reaction to that. it was a sweet little moment and like, the realization of apologizing for something that she didn't do but is aware of and all that. Cycle of hatred and all that shiz hell ye. Ik the anime won't rly delve into that but I kind of relish in the angst potential of the village - sure it was undone but some were still eaten and died and transforming people back won't bring those back. So, that’s some hella terrifying implications for families; and I'm assuming Norman is aware of those so. guilt time! not that he wasn't aware it was bad but yeah- I teared up at that moment :<<

I feel like this season really does its best when it’s doing the whole two worlds/species angle. Mujika and Sonju, the village, demon and human Emma... all that stuff.

I wish we had gotten more time (god this is really the season’s downfall) thought to see Vylk talk to the GF kids more often. it’s implied he told them not to hang out there before but I would have liked to have him show up a few more times before that but yeah. Runtime very RIP.

I also feel like CW is bending over backwards to put cliffhangers at the end of episodes. that was already a problem in s1 when they had Phil come in when Don and Gilda were in Isabella's room. it was obvious it'd be a copout but they still did it. I'm just wondering why we had to have Vincent disagree with the group to this extend (and if the shock value might play a part in that). we have 2 more episodes, why are they introducing more plot threads? Just streamline it you dofuses. I just don't know what good can come of it unless it's like an ultra big brain move to help them?? (and then we're back with the forcing cliffhangers thing) - if it's actual conflict, this'll just make things more confusing and clustered, and we don't have time for that right now imo. But who knows maybe it plays into something I just don't understand yet and it'll work out somehow

. Animation flow kinda dead.

I felt like this episode was kind of... awkwardly executed whenever something that was a slightly dynamic movement happened?

The whole bit while Emma is walking up to Norman could have been better, but it’s passable, except that a lot is spelled out for us.

But then she takes his hand really weirdly in a far away shot with bad inbetween timing?? what is that haha-

Or him collapsing is cut really weirdly. you barely really see it, you just kinda piece it together from Emma’s reaction and her catching him.

Most facial expressions are good though, which is arguably the more important part in this scene. I feel like a better execution just would have elevated it even more.

The only one I felt was really awkward in its entirety is Barbara’s scene with the children demons. I felt like that was in particular kind of stiff and the cut between the child and her was too sudden and felt jarring. TPN anime doesn’t really do that sort of stuff a lot, so imo it’s kind of “??” when they do it. With Norman it was too, but that at least had a good transition over to it (with bg and fg panning) and nice animation. Barbara’s just kind of switched. Tbh don’t switch it out, and as the child screams, switch over to her facial expression as her own voice fades into the scream? I think that would have done it too and also be low effort.

I think it’s moreso the flow of the shots than the actual shots though? it’s a bit too fast paced and sometimes missing inbetweens (like the wild demon eating sonju’s hand is literally just 2 frames) - it’s very weird. It’s jarring, but I can’t really explain why.

I’m sorry for the staff, I’m sure the production hasn’t been easy. maybe with the bluray release we’ll get some updated animations/inbetweens.

Some appreciation though:

as mentioned, most of the facial expressions, even if the body language was a bit stiff.

the cut from the trio talking to the eye-transition of the demon and the following breath animation looked nice. Also his arm regenerating!

Sonju smirking as he cuts his arm off, what a bastard

they didn’t have to show Vylk’s arm regenerating casually while they’re talking but they did.

. the lambda crew

If only I cared about you guys. Hahhh it’s just... introducing characters so close to the end is just. A mess. A recipe for disaster.

Where has the anime’s “show off the younger kids” angle gone? I thought they were always pretty good at that. but they haven’t really contributed anything since the whole tidbit about the older children always eating less for them. And even then it was just Lani and Thoma.

Potentially, what segments we saw in the shelter will come back for the GF raid thematically but I’m just... EH?

. the cure pen

at this point, just stick a syringe part at the end of the stick and just inject it and it’s gonna solve everything probably.

I just don’t understand why that needed to happen. Assuming they go to the human world, it’d be perfectly acceptable for me for medicine to be so advanced that it’d be able to like, lessen their symptoms and significantly improve their lifespan.

Don’t just... REMOVE their struggles. It’s okay to not be normal and cured. it’s okay for their lives to be impacted by it going forward. In fact, I’d much prefer that.

(added in later) OH wait they literally spell out why the cure being in the pen is meaningful - because it opens up a path where they can live through not having annihilated all the demons - it's essentially the moral "reward" for not killing them. Since they probably wouldn't have gotten it if they did that. I still think it wasn't needed and the blueprint on its own would suffice for another pen-convinience moment but I kind of get what they're going for, I just don't think it's worth it . In their case, going to the human world (while they don't know it) means having more medical expertise at their disposal which they can then use to survive. UNLESS they're actually not welcome over there and have to hide or something, in that case... that might be hard, true. I guess I'll come back to think about this once it's over. For now, it feels kind of unearned and it wouldn’t even have to be this way in my eyes which makes it somewhat worse.

But good, let’s say in-universe you need it NOW, then at least don’t put??? the medicine??? recipe??? INTO the hologram.

What if they just checked the GF blueprint and Norman goes “hey, Vincent... do you think this [database/archive room] could have some data on our experiments?” - Norman said he tried to develop a drug to help them but the supporters who had that data were purged. but... they had Smee to help them too. But SOMEHOW, a dude from 15 years ago just HAS the cure??? (at least let Norman develop it himself and have the data be just THE DATA and not the recipe).

It might still check out somewhat??

15+ years ago, James Ratri was assumingly still the gatekeeper since the switch to Peter seems somewhat recent considering his big "era of James has ended" speech.

I guess the implication is that just like Smee => Krone => Norman, a supporter all that time ago gave random person the pen when they escaped.

When Vylk found him, he also had just the data medium of the pen (not the entire pen), so maybe the farm thought they eliminated it and that’s why they didn’t change their methods to not work with those drugs anymore? It's still a bit curious that their experimentation hasn't changed at all in 15 years but maybe that's because they keep killing the smart people instead of making them scientists to research for them :D

Somewhere since those 15 years, Smee gave Krone the pen (probably a few years before she got to GF?), which means that at that point the gate the keyword "future" sent them to, was still in tact when Smee gave Krone the pen. Maybe WM wasn't discovered yet at that point?

then WM got discovered, James was chased. He made that phonecall update and was probably eventually killed, along with the human location (and likely bunkers since they knew a radio was supposed to be there, begs the question why they didn't remove it) being discovered (the one with the future keyword) and the gate there being destroyed.

The problem is just that it can make sense when you think about it for way too long and assume things in good-faith, but it still feels unearned.

Maybe I would care more or this would feel a little more earned if we knew ANYTHING about that person? They seemed fairly young, so it’s probably not Minerva/James Ratri. The “hope” talk reminded me of the book in the shelter, but I’m not sure if that checks out either? The cookies were rotten but not completely. I know cookies hold out relatively long, but would they rly not be completely rotten after 15 years? I MEAN. Maybe not. Who knows. I tried to google it but didn’t find anything.

But anyway. That tidbit is going into my “shelter kids OC project” I guess.

But even if the worldbuilding makes sense, I think the data set in itself makes little sense?? How did they find that pen part? Did a supporter give it to them? Why do they have the cure? Clearly their group of escapees wasn’t doing too hot (#help) and they seemed relatively young too so they probably couldn’t have worked in the farm.

Were the shelter escapees lambda escapees? but if that was the case, wouldn’t the WM group have secured the cure information more properly than in just one pen (maybe it was and those were just destroyed, to be fair) - it’s just WEIRD to put the cure for Lambda experiments on the same blueprint as the GF layout??? that makes so little sense.

Plus, why would you send them to GF, when it’s so secured and all that, and not just send them to the human support place our GF kids were sent with the “future” keyword, which had a gate. Maybe it didn’t exist 15 years ago (that the humans had control over it, that is), but even then it seems weird to me to imply to send them to GF instead of one of the other gates that existed. I mean. The “future” location’s gate wasn’t destroyed when Krone got the pen right?

I’m guessing maybe it was meant as help for escaping? But then again, why the cure? I guess if they met lambda experiments? I’m just confused.

Also: do we just accept that the layout of GUARDS and SECURITY MEASURES has not changed in 15 years???

*sigh* welp. Still looking forward to seeing some stuff with Isabella hopefully. Time... is not on their side and it shows. Neither run-time wise nor production wise.

SAF and Solve It Squad pls! (I know it's more a play than a musical I'm sorry)

oooo!! (as a side note; i haven’t watched solve it squad in a while, so i might rb this ask when i do and give you my consensus there, because the last thing i want to do is make people upset with my very stale takes from my very crappy memory from 3 years ago, so the SISR part of this ask is coming soon, no worries)

SPIES ARE FOREVER; favourite character: depending on my mood, it’s either tatiana or curt. curt is a major comfort character for me, but tatiana is honestly just so intriguing and interesting that i love her for the same amount, but for different reasons. right now, i’m in a tatiana mood. honestly, rewriting that one shot sounds really appealing and i might go do that after answering this ask. least favourite character: the n*zis, but then again, i don’t consider n*zis human beings, so perhaps the informant, because he doesn’t sit right with me on how he was written in certain parts. favourite OBC cast member: since all of them were OBC, either mary kate wiles (because her singing is literally a gift from heaven) or curt mega. favourite current cast member (if applicable): honestly, i’ll take this as “if COVID didn’t happen and the SAF 54 below concert was still a thing” question, because if so i would’ve made a blood sacrifice to see britney coleman sing live. oh my god, oh my GOD. favourite song: the title number! or eyes on the prize II. i don’t know, man, i have weird taste when it comes to my favorite song in this song, because on exception of a few i loved ALL of them. torture tango is way up there, probably third, along with spy again. least favourite song: eyes on the prize I seems. off. to me. i can’t explain it. also, while the n*zi songs are clever satire they’re musically kind of in the low middle of my ranking list. and the spy again reprise is alright, i guess, but also very low. favourite act (if applicable): act one! it’s got some of my favorite scenes and jokes of the musical, plus the story really just punches there. mostly, it’s where i can, yknow, NOT feel sad and be ignorant about how this musical ends. favourite ship: curtwen. because i’m a dumb butch, forgive me. tatibarb is inch resting and i have been looking respectfully on occasion. least favourite ship: anything, like, comphet? or meg*big, because that EXISTS and i pray to god everyday that it didn’t. guys it’s so bad, just- we’ve been cursed with a sin. me and my homies hate meg*big. if there is something i would change about the musical: *cracks knuckles* alright, here’s my opinions. get ready. the show is already so solid on it’s own. really, a lot of the issues i have with it are things i’ve personally just found irksome or off, and not a lot of the core aspects of the musical. for now here’s a bullet list; 1. barb wasn’t written very well. i get that her dialogue was supposed to be funny and such, but some jokes just didn’t hit right and more of her was played off for laughs, which made me a little disappointed. fanon barb is written well (for the most part, some people are just idiots), and if they ever DO have a sequel (or when they release the rights) my only request is for her to be written better. give some justice to the funky lil bi scientist. 2. they would have NOT gotten away with the n*zi satire if they had written the musical today. while it is very good satire, i remember them talking on the livestream about how if they released it today they wouldn’t have gotten away with it. perhaps it might be changed when they release the rights? i’m not sure, but that’s my take on the whole thing. other than that, it is actually good satire. 3. one step ahead could’ve been staged differently/less for comedy. i don’t know, i can’t take it seriously (even though i still love it) during the context of the song. not BETTER, just.. yknow, differently. this is more of a “not something i would fix” but “something i would like to see if it could happen” bullet point. 4. short answer to a hefty question; what do i think about one more shot? i like the song, i interpret it as a “last chance before we all die, let’s go out with a bang” drinking binge. irrational? yeah, but they all though they were going to die, so in their minds what did they have to lose? idk, i’m on the fence but the song slaps. 5. the ending dragged a little too long, maybe? idk, i’m trying to find small things without going into the bigger core aspects because those are still really, really good.

ratings: 9.5/10 (i’m afraid to give it a 10/10, although i love this musical to bits and that would be my knee jerk reaction if someone random asked me on the street, i actually thought about it and landed with this.)

thank you for asking, robin! this was really fun

send me a musical and i’ll give it a nice vibe check !

#ask #butchandfluff #long post #like fucking LONG #i'm so sorry #also i felt really anxious answering this for some reason #it's been that sort of day yknow?

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑺𝑯𝑬𝑬𝑻.

Repost, don’t reblog.

BASICS.

full name. Citynetics Workbot Unit C-8 5779. or, yknow, just switch. never bothered to come up with a last name for himself

nickname. very often called “dude” or “bro”, mostly by raptor. not really a nickname but regularly gets called shit like “tin can” or “scrap” by hecklers.

gender. dude, he/him

height. six foot even

age. he was manufactured five years ago, but being a construction bot, he was built to have the sense of someone in At Least their mid 20s to work a dangerous job and be personable to human workers. now, he’s got the attitude of a college dropout, so he’s mentally like 21

zodiac. he didn’t want his birthday to be the same day that the other bots were manufactured, so when he became lucid, he gave himself a new birthday. the thing is, he had two days in mind, but he didn’t want to pick between them. so, his birthdays are september 19th and october 28th, the anniversaries of the release dates of tony hawk’s pro skater 2 and 3, making him a virgo and a scorpio. whatever one he chooses that year is anyone’s guess

spoken languages. he was programmed knowing english and spanish, but he downloaded a japanese patch as well after he went lucid

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

hair color. bald! bald! bald!

eye color. glowing yellow. they look really sick in the dark

skin tone. burnished steel. he really needs to get himself polished again

accent. is bitcrushed an accent? otherwise, he’s very much got the speech patterns of someone from coastal socal, very much has that flavor of “surfer dude”. what the fuck kind of guy in probably 21XX says gnarly unironically?

voice. did you know switch has the longest set of voice clips in the game? i think that’s neat

dominant hand. okay, being a robot he doesn’t have a dominant hand, so he’s ambidextrous, but he did program himself to have a dominant foot. bear with me on this. you see, in skating, you generally have your dominant foot be the one on the back of the board to have better control. he programmed himself to have his left foot be his dominant foot so he could be goofy footed

posture. he’s just got a habit of standing up straight, he probably can’t even bend much around the waist.

tattoos. his arm guards being decked out and bolted on is kinda close? i’ll call that tattoos, just short of actually engraving his chassis

birthmarks. speaking of chassis engravings! his barebones frame under his main chest piece is engraved with the citynetics logo in a few places, as are a lot of his other more fiddly parts

noticeable feature(s). he’s decked himself out A Lot compared to other citynetics workbots so he doesn’t get lost in a crowd. for one, he wears pants and shoes. but also, he’s done away with any safety markings on his parts, he’s modified his chestpiece to have much more appealing lights, and his armguards-- which match his board no less? he’s curated his style to fit himself perfectly

CHILDHOOD.

place of birth. he was manufactured in the main citynetics factory in shine city!

birth weight. probably at least 200 pounds? robots arent light, especially ones meant to do construction projects

birth height. still six feet

manner of birth. conveyor belt construction line, put together with giant machinery like all the other bots

first words. when he was first activated? he just rattled off his standard boot-up phrases. thank you for choosing citynetics blah blah. his first word when he was freshly lucid was “what?”

siblings. technically 9999 others in his manufacturing group. raptor’s his only Real brother though

parents. do you count foremen of the factory?

parental involvement. nah

SEX & ROMANCE.

sexual orientation. please do not try and fuck the robot

romantic orientation. gay as hell

love language. physical touch and words of affirmation. for the physical touch thing, yeah he might not have the best touch sensors out there, but he still likes like. holding hands and cuddling and stuff. its nice and, for lack of a better way of putting it, it makes him feel like he’s close to a human way of expressing love, yknow?

relationship tendencies. he WILL make a mixtape and IT WILL have daft punk on it. he’s very chill in a relationship, though. he doesn’t do big grand romantic gestures, and generally things dont change much between him and his partner. he’s still a dumbass, he’s still chill, he just likes holding hands and maybe gets into movies for half off by pretending to be a guardbot or something

MISCELLANEOUS.

character’s theme song. sk8er boi his home stage in blaze is the abandoned pool with this as the theme, so That Works. but if you ask me, i heavily associate him with this song from ollie king,

mental illnesses. not a mental illness, but he’s got some shades of neurodivergency. he’s got some flavor of adhd, or as he likes to call it, 80HD. otherwise, a while back he was in a pretty bad depressive spiral for being where he was. like, things were easier when he was a braindead bot, or if he was fully human, not somewhere in between. now, he’s mostly gotten over that rough patch with the help of his bro and some other friends in the league

self-confidence level. oh he is super confident 64. like, genuinely, he’s probably one of the cockiest members of the league, with boasts such as “i’m not programmed to lose”. it doesn’t stop at him being competitive, he’s open and easygoing, personable but strong in his convictions

vulnerabilities. he IS still a robot, so anything that messes with machinery will fuck him up. you can also get to him if you mess with someone he cares about

homestuck recap

i hated this so fucking much bc my 2 am bitch-ass didnt want to read a recap thats probably longer than any slowburn out there

anyways here it is

also, uhhH sorry im using this as a end of session discussion bc that shit gets explained in her as well. and im not writing up more recaps of a recap so this is where im done for the day. (by done for the day i mean last nights session, im still doing a liveblog soon. i just wrote this yesterday)

also that this is long

you dont have to read it, theres nothing of importance

ive been coping with humor to get me through it

neato.

have fun with what i suffered through:

why was “beta” the only thing unhighlighted?

like did i miss a page???

OH its the beta version of HS thats why

damn its like 5 pages and thats it

mmh

well youll all be happy to know im clicking every single one of these links again bc i like looking back like ahh i remember that. good times. also in case i forgot some shit existed.

do you think andrew had fun writing this? or was he like “fuck”

thats a lot of fucking package talk. good thing im not confused as of now and remember it pretty clearly. of else, this early on in the recap, id be screwed.

god remember when i did an analysis on each item and what it did

i feel as if i have the technology engrained inside my head right now

cruxite, alchemeter, all that jazz

flashbacks are starting up already

yeah, that was the good part in homestuck where i knew 100% that i probably would continue on this liveblog in its entirety, ngl

that one explosion scene. bc it kept me going.

OH W A IT SHIT

i just realized how the intermission spades probably fucking foreshadowed the whole jack revolts thing and gains the ring, which was also technically JOHNS fault considering he slashed up the doll in the first place

my god, i guess thats the only good aspect of the recap. looking back at things and realizing the missing pieces.

oh that makes sense for the whole “this prototyping had no effect on the enemies, since he was already in the medium” i didnt actually think about that

little did rose know where that would get her right now

oh yeah

there’s still the whole entire lab terminal thing and how mom basically knows the place exists. i guess we’re still venturing onto that and itll come up later when we find out how mom knows SO MUCH about the game.

still think shes some weird spy or secret agent

i kinda love her ngl

anyways, theres literally no reason for skaia to produce a cloning machine. so technically, they only sent the meteors in, right? so who put the cloning machine in if not mom?

oh yeah that impact was nerve wrecking asf

and still at this point in the comic i called dave fuckboy red

huh, how times change

i hated reading that whole paragraph ngl, the frustration just kicked me in the boobs again

yeah nobody else got tornadoes, huh?

OH that makes also much more sense

bc she did prototyped them before she entered the medium.

i gotcha

man one of my favorite edits i made, rose hitting that meteor with a bat

are you

telling me

the exiles structures they arrived on were in the form of the items the kids used to enter the medium?

THE EGG

THAT EXPLAINS “EGG”

of course it was 413 years ago. that was never explained. simply vague “many years in the future....” but i expected no less from this

man serenity is the most wholesome character in hs no doubt

damn thought andy here was really gonna spoil us jade’s planet

okay cool, im glad i now have the layout to the whole “their stations went to the coordinates of the home button” shindig

man i honestly dont know what else to say besides “yeah cool recap” when i already pretty much know what went down? ofc im looking into each link and shit and adding in things when i see fit, but otherwise its just me going “ah good times” yknow

the whole meteor thing kinda makes sense now?

we’re still missing a few pieces of info but we’re getting there, folks

oh yeah that reveal

god jade and dave have it in the shits for parents huh

bro isnt the best and jade has a fucking dog

who lowkey

is doing better than bro

who knew a fucking dog is a better guardian than bro lmfao

dreambot = terminator. im telling you.

sorry im still on that idea and it will never leave unless i have the actual proof in front of me that its not going to become a thing. meaning, ive finished hs and theres still no terminator dreambot or either andrew himself gives me a canon letter with “the robot is not arnold, mackenzie, pls just let it be”

why is the entire game session highlighted

i swear to god if this is like to a second recap or smth of the whole game session i may fucking CRY

okay thank god its just a design of the skaia layout

which is honestly cool

idk why its blurry tho but i can at least see the layout now. which is honestly how i pictured it anyways.

yeah, john did make a huge impact in his friends’ life and i find that so fucking touching

yep. got that. everything loops around. cool.

especially when the trolls come in. god we havent even gotten to that recap portion yet, we havent even gotten to the INTERMISSION

pls can this be the halfway point to the recap

AT LEAST

so they were exiled after the whole jack: ascend thing, right? considering theyre way in the future. man no fucking wonder.

speaking of jack

man that whole dad and jack interaction was gold, ngl

OH THAT EXPLAINS THE RING THEN

and wow, andrew’s really giving us the best female content huh. andrew is the true god of equality and diversity.

also hey, i didnt realize that wow. so PM tricked the queen in showing the parking ticket to be able to take the present from jack. she’s a smart cookie, that one..

she and PM basically snitched on jack and it was the best thing that has happened to me so far

oh yeah okay

but why did AR panic over bec? bc thats something we havent learned yet, right?

anyways

exile town, the only town which should exist. facts. i dont make the rules.

noice

i love PM being queen. like.. thats canon now. shes an actual queen.

yeah that was a fun game and the consorts were cute

fuck yeah the dick head

hate them even more now that i know john was killed because of them

anyways, i wonder what dick move dave’s denizen did? maybe thats why its filled with lava bc the denizen was like “fuck it. make the land red. kill them all”

UH WHAT

WHAT

OH MY GOD HOW DID I JUST FORGET NANNAS LETTER LIKE THAT LMFAO

THEIR TITLES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!

so i still dont know what they mean but i can gather it has something to do with the game giving them abilities. considering dave is the “knight of time” and he can go back in time. whack.

which means john can either control someones breathing or simply wind. and rose is... like that one girl in the winx club who does the sun shit. bc whenever i think of light powers, i think of stella.

and jade is space. witch of space.

nice

i have no idea what that means ngl

okay finally

we’re at the trolls

maybe this recap will end soon

i remember when i thought they were internet bullies

yesss

someone asked if i basically knew the trolls were on a different veil than the kids, so not presently with them, and i know lol. i was making a joke before btw. jsyk. dont think im incompetent to forget these things when sometimes i choose to forget it so i can add in a joke

it be like that, i annoy many

then again, pls dont assume im trying to say im not incompetent bc im also a fucking dumbass and DO forget shit and i have no excuse

imagine being so bored on the meteor, your last resort is speaking to aliens

ngl me if i was ever trapped on a meteor and could potentially do that

nah ik its bc its their only hope at helping with their session or whatever tf CG said to john. but there was BOUND to be a conference meeting between them like “okay guys. humans. that needs to be sorted out” and you just hear CG screaming in the background

i cant wait to meet them honestly bc im growing on all 4 of the ones we’ve seen already. and on top of that, i know what they look like and i know theyre not THAT bad, just a little on the crayy zee side sometimes

but theyre trying

OH MY GOD

I GET IT

FUCK

DOES THAT MEAN THE INTERMISSION IS *APART* OF THE MAIN FUCKING STORY??

AND SPADES IS WV FOR THE TROLLS

GOD D A M N

wow

i didnt expect that. but maybe the signs were there and i was just willingly choosing to ignore it or smth bc “haha couldnt be, right”

flashbacks to how i thought the trolls were humans

anyways, i guess he got his revenge on the kids version of “snowman” ie the black queen. but really

he did not have to do that. he could have cut off the finger and fled. but he decided “nah, lets implode her” so the loml is dead and all i got was a catchy song

i knew they were different types of “bullies” but now i just have to replace bullies with uhh

trolling strategies

anyways, this is cute. i love how they’ve come to be friends through mutual frustration. good part in the comic.

i wonder why it explodes

more importantly

....

terminator time?

this was my favourite sequences of dialogues in the whole entirety of homestuck. that is to say the back and forth thing that the kids went through to become a sort of wingman for the other.

absolutely gold.

all except AT’s rap.

GC was the only smart one with the linear shit

anyways fuck he still has to kill the denizen now but apparently its hard to beat for a sleeping dick head so

that will be fun for the future

john will probably need to kill A LOT of imps to get there

yeah rose is a badass bc she slayed that thing with needles of all things

OH and the white queen was the cursive

damn did AR ever do the whole guide process to a kid yet? maybe he will with dave, idk

oHHH

i fucking SEE

thats why he said DNA

to use it and replace all the life forms in the ocean

fucking neat wow

man that sounded sarcastic but im genuinely impressed bc all i got was bullshit as i read jaspersprites log

so thats the secret. it was “meow” bc that somehow translates to the genetic code she needs then. and that code apparently took fucking years to write as well. sick. whack. oh man.

derse is very pretty, ngl

and wow shit

“dave had already been awake in his tower all along without realizing it” how tf does someone just

do that, awake in both places at once

i didnt even fucking realize that fact as i read that pesterlog wow

ah yes, around the time things got confusing

okay so the capsule makes sense bc at first i didnt know it was a fucking time capsule so i got confused as to how it just apparated the game lmfao

the more you know i guess *twinkle*

i find that a neat concept tho

like the whole whatever you prototype affects the imps and shit

yeah so that whole “he had no advice” basically impacted his future

no shit dave wanted to reset things bc he probably thought he caused some sort of bad butterfly effect and killed his best friend

fuck calsprite thats all im gonna say

i read that first sentence and i think i got an aneurysm

and then everything else just made me sad again

i mean good thing he fucking did amirite?

we got pain at first but now we got cool shit like idk

fucking DAVESPRITE

damn idk how that works

will rose have like two minds now? or will this be some steven universe fusion shit?

“and understood their meaning” course well i fucking didnt so could you pls elaborate, rose?

okay but then what the fuck did he use that was inside the fucking box

bc i thought he used his knife?

im only every going to refer him as that now, thank you andrew

alright okay..

god that was a lot

i dont know what will happen once i click on those links but i am going to see that for myself bc i refuse to add ANYTHING ELSE

So in the spirit of October me n some of the boys, Joey, Jack, and Zack, went down to the old graveyard to perform a bit of Meme Necromancy. Really spruce up our blogs with some old fossils, yknow? People do it all the time around these parts, bringing back stuff from 2, 5, 8, or even 10 years ago. All of em end up back in their old plots in just a few months, anyway, so it's a harmless hobby... So long as you don't run afoul of the gravekeeper, that is.

The gravekeeper of dead memes is a nasty sort of person, but thankfully he's only really around at night so, ironically, it's best to head to the meme graveyard during the day, dig up what you wanted, and raise them back later that night. Simple! Only problem at that point was that, as soon as we got there, it looked like more or less every blogger in town had gotten the same idea.

Zack was the most upset, I think, because he'd been bragging about his new pair of bolt cutters and was ready to show them off against the chains used to seal the gates shut. I was the one that reminded him the gates aren't chained during the day anyway, and that seemed to just deflate the guy. Whatever, though, we had bigger problems: more or less every grave we went to had already been dug up. Y U NO, FFFFUUUU, I LIED... pretty much every single rage comic face was gone, even the shitty ones no one really knew the names of. Everything to do with Spiderman had been excavated the instant Spiderverse came out, and those memes hadn't died again in the intervening times. I Can Haz Cheezburger had been getting dressed up and puppets around Weekend at Bernies-style for YEARS at this point, but we at least thought some old cat memes might still be around!

Nope, nothing. Ceiling Cat, Keyboard Cat, Longcat and even freaking Tacgnol were gone, and from there we could see even the old, old memes had been disturbed, too. It was really a shame, because I was looking forward to aging my followers backwards 30 years by having the Hamster Dance go on my autoplay. Jack had been humming Badger Badger Badger for close to 20 minutes, to the point we were about ready to push him into its open and empty grave once we found it.

At this point, we were ready to call it quits, when Joey spots this... crypt. Like, some mausoleum or something. A small room, just THERE, sticking out between all the gravestones. It looked almost out of place, especially when we saw that it was almost completely undecorated. Perplexed and not wishing to leave empty handed we cautiously approached and looked for any sign indicating what might be contained within, and... nothing. Well. Almost nothing.

There were marks on the ground, towards the door. Things being... dragged. To or from, we couldn't tell, which made Zack immediately turn and leave. He was probably the smartest, but what was there to be scared of but the gravekeeper? Even HE wasn't that scary, it was the fines he'd slap you with for disturbing old dirt. This wasn't old dirt, though, this was solid stone with a door that opened all too easily when I tried it, now more curious than ever.

I didn't know what we expected to see inside. Skeletons, or cobwebs, or dead bodies, or open coffins, or like... old screamer sites, perhaps. Scary Maze Game, Bong Chong Dong Ghost Story, that sort of stuff. It would have been fitting for those to be locked away in a crypt, but no. All that was inside, sitting in the middle of a clean and polished floor, was a single, lit candle. Jack's face paled immediately upon seeing it, but before he could say a si

funny how i’ve had this bitch for a good year or so, began using her in january, Stopped, and have absolutely no recollection of the bg i made up for her since it’s likely in a dm i’ve lost track of SFSGFLDK so we’re starting over !! i’m gonna make this short and sweet bc dealing with three kids under the age of ten when i could’ve been wrapping this up a few hours ago took me O U T, not to mention i’m watching masterchef as i type this, but i’m kat, about to become an old hag come sunday bc i turn 22 and.. idk, i could use a glass of moscato right about now sdfjlkgdf enough about me bc you’ll see me bitching about something soon enough, so with that i’ll introduce you all to miss lydia hyunh ! stats will be up later hopefully, plots..... we’re going off the cuff with them until i cave and make one up so until then —

╰ * ✶ . ever notice lydia hyunh kinda looks like hillary trinh ? they’ve got 4.8m followers on instagram, but that’s no surprise. their instagram bio says they identify as cis female and go by she/her. they just turned twenty-one, right? word around la is they’re kinda vainglorious and nonchalant, but you couldn’t tell online. does it matter when your family’s net worth is $270m? ❪ kat, she/her, gmt-2:30 ❫

she comes from a new money family at the helm of a hong kong-based real estate development firm, but her geographical background is a tad more complex than that sijfg

not to mention her mother being a miss universe contestant-turned-supermodel who still walked the occasional runway after two kids à la the iconic 2010s victoria’s secret models, but anyways —

her dad’s a british national ( and started off as a financier, then switched to real estate, tHEN became a cfo of his own firm fdgsdklfdgfl ) as are she and her brother, so while he and his family were busy building up their company with many trips abroad, lydia, her brother and her mom hung back in london for the most part — though some of her summers were spent in hong kong or along the beaches of the mediterranean when she wasn’t embracing the countryside of her home country during term breaks

however, at age 10, she and the family moved to edinburgh so she could attend a more prestigious private school — and so they could be a bit closer to her brother who was spending time at the renowned st. andrew’s university

.. basically, i need a sister in arms when it comes to bastardized accents, so have this british bitch with a scottish twinge FDSGJSHDGFSLK

speaking of her brother, they clearly have a sizeable age gap, so while they do love each other and all that, they aren’t necessarily close. he’s primed to be something of an heir and he’s more than cool with that, while lyds is more keen on taking her time to figure out what she wants to do with her life and her parents encourage it..... not to say he was ever pressured but, y’know

all the while, mama hyunh was busy appearing on.. idk, something like america’s next top model and project runway when she could — maybe even masterchef ?? GJSFGF — trying to work her schedule around lydia by taking her with her on sick days or during the summer months

so lydia had a taste of hollywood during her early teens with these trips, absolutely enamoured, fucking gobsmacked that her mom was in the industry bc with the way they lived back home it was as if she was merely privileged as hell

connection idea right there folks !

should note bc it feels weird to glaze over it even if it disrupts the flow, but lydia ?? LOVES her mom. so much. she’s a family girl in general, but she really does look up to her mom and appreciates the little things she does to help or impress her

we’re all about wholesome family relationships here, js SLKFDGJSLFD but anyways

she keeps up this lifestyle of studying in edinburgh, travelling wherever the fuck her parents wish to take her and getting ( almost ) whatever she wants

bc if there’s one thing either of her parents put to her, it was to know her limits and to at least recognize her privilege, even if they knew she was a little too spoiled in her own way to be thoroughly humbled. sounds fake but i always thought of them as traditional hard workers who want their kids to be the same, so 😔

and with that, upon graduating and attending uni in glasgow the following fall, lydia kinda.. separated herself from some aspects of her wealth, wanting to be a normal student with some obvious luxuries bc. she can’t help herself fsdgljgdfs

especially when you have a damn model for a mom and you’re Kinda known to be her kid

and yknow what, it worked out for the most part. ofc she couldn’t hide her roots so people knew this annoying brat came from money, but they weren’t complaining bc at least it meant they had some GREAT parties bc of some loans she’d give out for the sake of having a good time herself

long story short, she loved uni, still does, but she loves the breaks even more as she’s been consistently visiting hollywood since she was 18. mama hyunh became more involved in being a tv personality now that both kids were out of the nest and her husband kept himself occupied with work ( when he couldn’t see her, which ofc is routine as he recently moved up to be ceo ), so she spends much of her time in beverly hills

so much so that lyds’ summers were spent reconnecting with her mom, and having a wild time on the side too gfsdkjgfd

this year, however, her dad decided to open an office in l.a. to be more present with his wife. and to capitalize on the market

and after hearing that.. something in lydia Snapped. ksldfgjkldf like she v quickly decided to take a break from school and stay here for a bit

which some would find weird bc really ? NOW ? when your parents are around ?? but eh....... using the excuse of “ family bonding ” to really take advantage of whatever ounce of star power she has here is fine by her LFSKDGJSDFG

probably lives with her two cousins to save her ass from being dragged

PERSONALITY AND OTHER SHIT

according to my little blurb on my p much Dead indie: “ ( upper middle class-turned ) trust fund baby who tries to downplay her privilege but usually fails; adventurous and charming, she's a soft player who likes being pursued so long as she calls the shots ”

so uh.. that hasn’t changed much GFLKSDFL

i love the ( closet ) sad little rich girl and all those classic tropes as much as the next person, but lydia happens to be one of the most unbothered chicks you’ll probably ever meet FGJKSDG

vulnerability ?? don’t know her ! she’s just here for a good time and doesn’t know anything But !

laidback af, not to mention i never saw her as particularly defensive of her status and such, and i’m sure her uni life reflected that all by itself

the fact that she’s had it relatively easy in the sense of no real trauma or family issues helps, who knows fdsjglk

doesn't mean she won't lay into you if the time calls for it, especially if you have a god complex or something. she’s of the mindset, “ you do you and i’ll do me, but act like a fool and i’ll happily remind you of it for the rest of your days, ” so it's safe to say that someone could bring out the bitch that lurks beneath if they're not careful SGFJDKLGF

can she be selfish and indulgent ?? .. yes, but does she carry herself as such ? ………. also yes, bUT not by much, which makes a difference !

LKSFDGLF jk, but she is restrained in how she displays these tendencies ( for the most part ) or else she probably would’ve gotten her ass handed to her back in uni. thank god she’s well-mannered enough

wild child ! gets around ! don’t think i need to elaborate aside from the fact that she’d rather NOT get an sti or wind up in the er over dumb shit, so there’s a sense of caution with it all

basically, she can be materialistic as hell and takes advantage of the shit she has while she has it, but she’s practical enough to know her limits or to just. know better

idfk, i feel like this makes zero sense bc i’m so drained, that this seems like it could be the setup for a m*ry s*e which..... ew, and that i’m missing a lot of extras but i’m DEAD so we’ll leave it there fdklgjsg

To Be Super

Wow my first piece of writing in years! Hopefully you guys like it, I’m a bit rusty LOL. So here’s an Incredibles 2 fanfic!

This is a prequel of sorts, from Screech’s perspective, about him getting inspired to become a superhero. Details are left sorta vague, since we don’t know... anything about his secret identity. Oh well! Also one thing to note, I headcanon Metroville to be located on the west coast, since a lot of it is modeled after California. And I headcanon Screech to be living on the east coast somewhere, so he’s a couple hours ahead of the Metroville events.

Anyway, enjoy!

Word count: 2048

He sat watching the television, starting to doze off on the couch. It was getting pretty late, but he had no desire to go to his room and go to bed. The light coming from the television set was the only source of illumination in the room. As he was absentmindedly flipping through the channels, his interest was caught with a breaking news scene.

It was being filmed in Metroville, it said, where a large plane-like vehicle just crashed into the ground. As people started to crowd around it, the vehicle broke apart and released a giant spherical object. He sat up in his seat as the sphere suddenly sprouted long robotic legs and started crushing cars. He couldn't help but think back to when he was a kid, and when this sort of thing happened, superheroes would show up to save the day.

But that was a long time ago. As a kid he always dreamed about helping people with his powers. Once superheroes were deemed unsafe and illegal, however, he was forced to stop using his powers in public. That doesn't mean he stopped using them entirely, but he kept it hidden from others, for the most part. For a while he had tried to moonlight hero work once he was older, but he quickly found out that a sonic screech just is not stealthy in the slightest. And being able to turn your head all the way around can't really help anyone, except maybe scaring a bad guy.

Now no longer tired, his attention was focused entirely on the news. A man with rocket boots was addressing the crowd, calling himself a super. It was obvious to him that all of his "powers" were coming from gadgets; he wasn't really a super. Disappointed, he sulked back into his seat. The robot knocked him out and continued to rampage. Suddenly, there was a flash of red on the screen, then another, then a flash of blue. Could it truly be? Supers?! Real supers! But they were all in hiding, hero work was illegal, how could there be supers? Suddenly he felt like a kid again, watching superheroes on the news and wishing he could help people with his powers like that.

He got up and moved closer to the screen, getting a better look at the supers battling the robot. Two of them, actually, one, two, three... four of them had matching red outfits. Two of them were really small, were they... children? Were the four of them... a family? He had always felt alienated by his family; he was the only super out of all of them. He always figured the gene for superpowers must be recessive or something, and seeing these superpowered kids next to their superpowered parents solidified that for him.

The kids both looked younger than 15, so he figured they must have been born after superheroes were made illegal. It broke his heart to think about these children having to grow up hiding their powers, ashamed of them. He was a kid when they were made illegal but these kids would have been born into it, knowing no other life. But maybe, just maybe, it was all changing. After all, they were using their powers in public now, right?

The camera focused on the superhero in the blue and white suit using ice-based powers. He cocked his head and squinted; he knew he knew who that was, he just had to remember... His eyes blinked open and a big smile appeared on his face. Frozone! That superhero's name is Frozone! It's been so long since he saw any supers, he had nearly forgotten. How could he forget, Frozone was one of the classics! What about the other two adults? Were they classic superheroes too, from when he was a kid and they were always saving the day?

The man in red looked like a powerhouse, he obviously had super strength... Which supers had super strength? He immediately thought of Meta Man, but remembered he had died. Couldn't be him. Next he thought of Hypershock, but quickly dismissed that once he realized the man on the television didn't have a jetpack of any kind. That left just Mr. Incredible, but this guy didn't look like Mr. Incredible. At all. Mr. Incredible wore blue, not red! He leaned in close to the screen, so much that his eyes were starting to strain, to look at the man's face better. No, looking at his face, his big chin, his blond hair, the 'i' insignia on his chest... this was definitely Mr. Incredible. God, he's gotten fat! Good to know that even supers can let themselves go.

Lastly, he looked at the red headed woman in a matching outfit to Mr. Incredible's. One look at her super stretchy limbs and he immediately recognized her as Elastigirl. Oh, Elastigirl! People always thought he had crush on her as a kid, but really she was just his favorite. Regardless of his feelings, he had always considered her the gold standard of superheroes. She seemed so versatile, other supers had such specific powers, like fire, or ESP, or a sonic screech, but she could use hers anywhere, in any situation. Not to mention, she hardly ever caused any unnecessary destruction to her surroundings, or to other people. Now there is a woman who knows what she's doing!

He looked at her supersuit again, noticing the 'i' insignia on it, and how it is completely identical to the insignia on Mr. Incredible's suit. Did she marry Mr. Incredible? Were those kids hers? Theirs? It seemed somehow comforting to know that behind these superhero identities, they had normal lives; besides their powers, they were normal people. Like him. And it gave him hope that maybe someday this could be him. Helping people, being accepted. Being a superhero. Even just knowing that there were still indeed supers out there helped him to feel not so... alone. To not feel like he's the only super left. Like no one else remembers them. But now he knows there's at least five, or maybe six if you count that gadget guy from earlier, Syn-something... So yeah, at least five other supers, he nodded.

Elastigirl held the remote and started pressing the buttons on it, Frozone was trying to freeze the robot in its tracks, and Mr. Incredible must've thrown a discarded robot claw at it or something because it launched right through the robot and tore its power core out. Now that's how it's done! A smile spread across his face and he started clapping quietly at the television screen. He couldn't stop smiling as he thought that maybe, just maybe, superheroes are coming back. Maybe they'll be accepted again. Maybe he can be accepted again. And maybe he can make a difference in the lives of others.

He knew he would not be getting any sleep tonight, he was much too excited. He practically ran to his garage and grabbed some paper. He would be a superhero. He grabbed a pencil. He would help others. He started drawing. And he was going to look cool doing it. Half of the appeal of superheroes, besides, yknow, saving the day, was the costume! A superhero had to be a character, someone that others could idolize and look up to. What would his costume's theme be? Maybe something bird-like, birds had very screechy voices like him, not to mention he definitely had the nose for it. But what kind of bird? He cocked his head in thought, before it came to him. An owl! Owls can turn their heads around just like he can! Well, not just like he can. He can turn his head farther than an owl can, but they come the closest.

As he was designing the suit, he drew wings without thinking about it. Once he realized he had drawn them, he started to wonder if he could actually build them. It was one thing to make and sew a cool suit, but it would be an entirely different thing to actually build something mechanical from scratch like functional wings. He had studied robotics and engineering in college, so maybe he could figure it out... Yes, he would be able to build them, he wouldn't rest until he completely finished them. Well, he might have to rest at some point, but he would definitely be pulling a lot of all-nighters. Good thing he was a night owl.

----------

A couple weeks later, he put on his completed suit all together for the first time. He looked in the mirror, everything was perfect. It was exactly how he had imagined it on that first night, when his spirit had been reignited by seeing superheroes, real superheroes, out in public, saving the day. It was just like he remembered from when he was a kid. And now, he could be one of those superheroes that some other young supers might look up to someday, to look back fondly on when they become real superheroes too. He knew he could make a big difference, he just didn't know where to start.

He lived by himself, in a fairly small town without much crime. There was a big city about an hour's drive away, maybe thirty minutes as the owl flies, but he hadn't taken his new wings out for such a long flight yet and didn't know if they would be up for it. It seemed too risky, he probably needed to test them more. For the time being, he just sat on his couch and turned the television on.

Flipping through the channels, he once again happened upon breaking news involving superheroes. The footage showed the "Incredibles" family and Frozone battling against a large drill, apparently run by some villain called "The Underminer" or something. After they stopped the drill, Frozone quickly skated away and the "Incredibles" were arrested. It was a harsh reality check, remembering that despite the changing public opinion, superheroes were still very illegal.

A frown started to cross his face. He sighed and was about to take his cowl off when he heard a knock at the door. He doesn't usually get visitors, especially at this time of day, so he crept up to the door quietly and listened against it. He didn't hear anything, but a card was slid under the door. He kept listening for a minute, but after deciding there was no one there, he picked up the card and read it.

"To whom it may concern,

It has come to our attention that you may have super powers. Do not be afraid, we are on your side. We would like to make supers like you legal again. We are sending this letter to several people who have been on our radar as potentially being supers, and this includes you. The superheroes aren't gone. You're still here. And together we can make a difference for supers everywhere. Please consider joining us. If you agree, you will be housed in the great city of New Urbem, considered by some to be like a superhero's playground. We will show you off to the public performing heroic deeds and raise the public opinion of superheroes, and maybe someday we can help restore the supers' legal statuses. But we can't do it without your help. Help us change the world. If you are interested or have any questions, please call the number on this card.

Your new friend, Winston Deavor

DevTech"

He stepped back, knees weak, and practically fell onto his couch. Him? Being a real superhero? For the first time since he was a kid it no longer seems like a far fetched dream, it no longer seems like a crazy fantasy, it seems like something real. Something that could happen, something that will happen. Hands shaking slightly, he turned over the card and found the phone number for DevTech listed on the back. His grip on the card tightened, as if he lets go then it may disappear forever. He felt like he might fall over, but he stood up anyway and made his way over to the phone. He dialed the number and waited for the other line to pick up. Heart racing, he just said five simple words.

"This is Screech. I'm in."

#my style of writing is quirky but i hope you all enjoy it!#yknow with the narrative questions and the 'yknow's #anyway tumblr not supporting tab spaces is literally killing me tumblr you are literally killing me #got to go back and add them all by hand hfhndjfhfj #just watch in going to write about him having a garage #and 2 days later disney will announce he lives in like an apartment or something hdgdjdkd #i hate relying on headcanon i feel like i disappoint people with that but let's forget about that for right now ok!#also i headcanon very strongly that he is engineering wise very smart #because he made his own wings
