I did this sketch in 5 minutes enjoy

Eye of Darkness is NOT letting Elzar escape the polycule allegations he is literally always thinking of Stellan and Avar ghxjsialk

STUDY IN LOKI ROMANCE

Part 2: Breaking Brad

Since we're only a few days away from the last episode, I decided to COUNT DOWN everything we´ve got so far ( that can be interpreted very easily as romantic ) and discuss what the actual fuck is going on with second season. Because even though I shipped lokius practically from S1E2, I absolutely did NOT expect this kind of development. (Not that I´m complaining)

Warning: This is gonna be LONG post, lots of screenshots, lots of SPOILERS, lot of "oh-my-god-they-so-cute" language, and little bit of meta.

I originally thought that this post would be everything at once, but since I have just too many screenshots this time around, I´ll have to split it. so every post will be one episode. Color coding means:

IIIIIIIIII = anything, that coud potentialy be just acting choice.

IIIIIIIIII = everything else (tzn.: whatever was written, and/or carefully prepared by filmmakers. )

side note: I already wrote, about how amazing it is, that Mobius is unable to fight but fights anyway and how beautifuly, and ridiculously brave he is HERE. But this is about Loki/Mobius interactions, so I´ll try my best not to talk about THAT. (Even when I´m really happy, that s2 continues with this formula and Mobius is still his completely defenseless while aggressively brave self. I love him, btw.)

EPISODE 1 HERE

Okay, Check-list, ep 2:

11) matching suits part 1 THIS ⬇️ costume department did a great job and they look badass together also, they´re walking very close to each other.

12) Loki defending /saving Mobius from Brad (with magic!) also, Mobius, dear, (my beloved) you were really going for it! Always so ready to fight! I can´t xD

Loki "don´t u dare hurt him" Laufeyson, look at his face!

13) Mobius and Loki struggling to assemble IKEA furniture- sorry Tapmad together

14) " And he knows..." I mean yeah, sure. keep remind us, that Mobius knows everything about Loki, and saw him at his worst, so we can appreciate even more the fact, that Mobius likes him and cares for him so damn much 💚🤎

15) Loki finding Mobius´s joke amusing Mobius: cracking joke right after Loki´s threatening speech:

Loki:

16) Loki being very concerned for Mobius after his outburst, saying that It´s okay, and then suggests having pie because he knows Mobius so well and is avare of the fact, that his man is stress eater I´m gonna cry they´re too pure for MCU someone adopt them

17) Bickering like married couple (part 2) 18) The whole freaking pie scene!

Just them, sharing calm, intimate moment together

Mobius opening up to Loki, and admiting he "lost it"

Loki trying to make him feel better and absolutely KILLING IT! btw, I know, that some people think, this scene doesn´t make sense, because Loki didn´t "lost it" during avengers, but was controlled by mind stone, etc.... well I think that it actually doesn´t matter. Guess what else doesn´t make sense? For example the fact, that they already talked about Loki fighting Avengers ( during their first meeting.) Loki is aware, that Mobius saw New York invasion at least twice now, and he´s telling him anyway. I would say, that point here is Loki trying to lift Mobius´s spirit, entertain him, make him smile. Why else woud he start his monolog by "remember, when...?" And I think, that this is huge, actually: Loki, using his bad memory, defeat, his humulianting experience to make Mobius feel better. So not only, that we see, he no longer care about being rurel but we see him making lightly fun of it FOR MOBIUS´S SAKE! He has different priorities now... our immortal god is a grown man now... it´s just so fucking beautiful... 🥺

Also Mobius saying to Loki: "come on, you´re the God of Mischief" Like it´s a best thing in the world, and Loki gives him THIS LOOK! (I mean that head tilt would be considered "acting" category, but I´m already making concessions by including all these things under one number :D

19) Loki and Mobius: mischievous duo

Mobius trusts him so completly!

They both such a drama queens!

And they works so well together!

like... seriously, Brad didn´t see this coming, AT ALL! xD

also... Loki complimenting his plan?!

20) "They say opposites attract. NO." Mobius´s wishfull thinking xD (But hey, it IS true. Opposites attracts. And works greatly together. That´s the only reason, why, for example, trope like grumpy one/sunshine one is so popular!) I can´t! just look at his face 🤣 Oh honey! just calm down

He is sooooooo NOT chill here xD bless him

21) Loki, not following Sylvie, but actually staying with Mobius and comforting him. AGAIN. (which is an absolutely glaring contrast compared to episode 2 in first season!)

The night before Avaric's wedding night :) TW: drrrugs and painnnnnful stuffff (sorry for not tagging because tumblr just will not show this to anyone D:)

Since some of y'all are fantasizing about having a OG season 4 instead of Go, i will tell you how it would be :

Closer in substance to Honoosuto than the main serie

Each episode would look like a filler

Few months timeskips between each episode because there is 10 years seperating S3 and Go

Charadesigns constently changing because they literally grew up since last chapter, until achieving their final forms from Go...

As well as their fashions because trends, interests, activities and priorities shifting

EXPERIMENTAL AND CHEAP ANIMATION

Mfs could be besties in one episode and not talking anymore the next one because they'd argue off-screen and since they are not seeing each others as often than before to begin with, they'd not reconcile properly

Endou x Natsumi making sense

Endou trying college because his mom told him so

Endou would miss hard times he had in the previous seasons because it made his everyday life interesting, even exciting, while now that everything is working out and calm, he'd feel nothing happens. And he could not cope with just sakka and friends because his teammates are also setting up for life (studies, jobs, busy days, etc.) and have less time to go sakka with their fave captain.

Ironically, most of his friends (especially those with tragic backtories, wouldn't miss those days for anything and seems happier now. Sure, they miss being able to see Endou and sakka everyday, but they aspire at a well deserved serenity now for their future.

At the end of the season, Endou would accept this and let himself mature and looking for setting up things for his adulthood.

The season would not be happy-go-lucky not depressing/dramatic/stressful overall, but rather contemplative and chill (even tho we cannot make a IE season without wackyness). The characters would be getting used by normalcy as the épisodes passes. Behind the apparent fun they are having, it's tinted with self-questionning and more mature themes because they are avare they are getting older.

In short : S4 would not be as epic and shonen-spirited than the rest of the license. People grew out of their trauma, others grew out of their innocence, they are aware they have nothing else to prove, they are already accomplished soccer players. They now have to become accomplish adults. It wouldn't be as exciting to watch.

Remember :

Delulu is not the solulu

i finally started reading the high republic books! i finished light of the jedi last night, so here are a few of my (non-spoilery) thoughts:

jedi doing cool shit with the force is my favorite thing and there is SO much good jedi doing cool shit with the force content

also the way the force was described was just, really beautiful. it's been a while since any visual star wars medium has really made me feel in awe of the force, but this did the job so well.

the little worldbuilding aspects were really cool. (hypserspace travel still being developed, bacta isn't mass-produced yet, etc.) this book was just a really nice reminder about how cool and strange and fun the star wars galaxy can be (when actual effort is put into making it that way)

on that note, god it felt good to have good star wars content. like this was SO. GOOD. (and i'm so so excited to move onto the next books, but i kind of didn't want this one to end bc charles soule is such a beautiful writer. and he made every pov interesting and engaging; i was never bored)

i think maybe my favorite pov to read from was bell's. he made me laugh, and soule wrote him in such a way that was youthful but not childish, and it was just such a joy reading his pov. i felt so connected to him immediately, and was so proud of him by the end of the book! can't wait to see where his story goes. (also i love his and loden's relationship and i have SO many feelings about the end of the book like..... iykyk.)

avar and elzar. avar and elzar. AVAR AND ELZAR. they've got me down so. bad. help.....i love both of them individually, and their dynamic together is everything to me actually. (i have so many more thoughts on them, but i’ll come back to them later)

another bullet point to again say how much i LOVE jedi doing cool shit with the force, and relating it to elzar and a) how he describes the force as an endless sea.... yeah. i'm in love w that description; and b) him wanting to push boundaries, explore all that the force is capable, is just really really cool.

the epilogue. I have not stopped thinking about it. like i got yearning and terrifying force visions all in one chapter?? charles soule did that for ME <3

i'm reading the main books for phase one in order, so next up is test of courage, then into the dark. (even though i reallyyyy want to just go right to the rising storm lol)

taking inspiration from kasey with the pinboards. Here is my plotting/ starter call for the mini event. If you want a starter please be very specific about muses. Also if you like this for plotting i'll hop into your DMs. I'll be dropping most older threads pre event but keeping new ones going or plot heavy and important ones. But yeah that's it from me here goes:

Charlotte Emily - Going with Max Lightwood

Charlotte never really got to experience these things and the random date thing with Max as well makes her nervous.

He will have his lightsabers on him. possible plots: drinking a decent amount, trying to engage him or gossip with him, exploring the museum, finding him sat away from everyone. (1/3) - Alani

Since I finished reading The Rising Storm yesterday and listened to the Race to Crashpoint Tower earlier today, I just finished all the comics between that and Out of the Shadows (which I'll get to after I read Jedi Trial), so it's THRcomicsposting time (starting with THR Adventures issues that are before The Rising Storm because I haven't posted them before)

Adventures is so good, I love how Lula and Zeen are actually just soulmates, obviously nothing bad is ever going to happen to them and they'll live happily ever after

Favorite Yoda panels from vol 1, incredibly conflicted in my opinion on this green fucker

Tiny masters 🤏 and just Avar and Kantam

They're so cute I need to eat them actually

Had a THR issue in the middle of it and! Reath and Cohmac! two of my thr favs

Oh look it's gender envy and the perfectest woman on earth do they want me to pass out

This is all over the place with comic issues but Ty! Love her so much she's awesome

Trail of Shadows #1 was great! Not at all awful to see this scene visually. Also you don't understand my sister has been singing this song every time I read THR stuff I think and I've been suffering bc it was annoying as hell but now I get it and I:) :) Thanks Ayala for drilling the "We're coming to take you away" into my mind

Bell and Ember break bc they were there and I love this cover

Fuck. I love them.

Can't with how greasy Marcion's hair looks here jesus christ

Savvvvvvv I love her already

Kinda funny to me that aside from like one other comic issue I can't remember the name of rn, this is my first Maz Kanata content Will get to the Sequels and to her eventually, but this is my introduction to her

Oh it's the green fuck again. You aren't wanted here. Get out.

This hug is so funny to me the way they're all leaning down lmao

The girlies in Edge of Balance! This makes me even more confused about LIly's age but whatever

Did not see this one coming, I think this is the first time a Master lost their apprentice in Phase I instead of it being the other way around

This was fun I love talking to myself and then people find these and like it Too tired to do this properly with the specific issues and shit but the comics here are: Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures (2021), Star Wars: The High Republic (2021) #8, Star Wars: The High Republic - Trail of Shadows #1 and Star Wars: The High Republic -Edge of Balance

THE HIGH REPUBLIC READING PROJECT UPDATE: Ssssssoooo clossssssse. I'm going to be a little sad about having to wait between releases again, but also excited about having more time for other books or just not frantically using every free moment I have to spend on Star Wars. (Which sounds worse than I mean it, I've genuinely enjoyed this and my giant pile of citations is going to be fun to catch up on, too, and I find myself satisfied by having a fun nudge to keep me going.)

MAIN STORYLINE NOVELS - PHASE III:

The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness

The High Republic: Escape from Valo

The High Republic: Defy The Storm

MAIN STORYLINE COMICS - PHASE III:

The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight - 4 issues

The High Republic (2023) - 7 issues [ONGOING]

The High Republic Adventures (2023) - 6 issues [ONGOING]

The High Republic - Saber for Hire (2023) - 2 issues [ONGOING]

ONESHOT COMIC ISSUES - PHASE III:

The High Republic Adventures: Crash Landing

This includes the comics that came out this week, and I'm down to about two hours left of Defy the Storm which is the last thing on my list! I still think each successive Phase has been better than the last. Part of that is that the stakes have slowly been rising with each wave, as well as more authors means more variety, and more time spent with the characters means more investment in them on my part, but I also genuinely think that each Phase has been better structured than the last. Not necessarily more fun/more enjoyable, but that it took a bit of time to find their feet and give it some teeth. Defy the Storm benefits from having a wider scope of characters and the two authors work really well together. I'm interested to see where Vernestra goes, because I'm really curious about how unsettled and unhappy she's seemed for awhile now, especially if The Acolyte seems to be gearing up to show her as having unresolved issues still a hundred years later or whatever. Because I can see an arc there, but now that she's found Imri alive, she seems more settled, so I'm wondering what even would be left, other than just general trauma over the war, I guess?? I'm also curious about where everything with Keeve Trennis is going, because it's almost guaranteed that she's one of the Lost Twenty, and her arc in the comics has felt like she's frustrated and disappointed with some of the stuff going on around her, but I'm not sure it's built up enough that she would want to leave the Jedi Order for it, unless she's leaving for something else, like Sskeer or whoever the little girl in the comic is. It has been interesting to watch the effect of the war on the High Republic Jedi, like Avar had an entire arc in the books and comics where she struggled with the dark side because of all the fighting, Elzar had an entire arc where he struggled with the dark side even before the war got really bad, Keeve is struggling, Ceret and Terec the twins from the comics are struggling, Ty Yorick left the Jedi, Lula officially left the Jedi in the latest Adventures comic, Vernestra seems to be struggling, like, these are the Jedi that the authors pitched as being just about the most perfect Jedi ever, and yet being thrown into a war and basically having the entire galaxy put on their shoulders is really hard on them. It's such an interesting parallel to the prequels Jedi, who were thrown directly into a war and had the entire galaxy basically dumped on their shoulders, and I think we've seen fewer Jedi crack under the pressure there than the High Republic is--and I think it's fair to have characters like that, even in people who've trained their whole lives to let things go. They're space psychic wizards who can sense others' feelings and they're surrounded by a constant bombardment of trauma, grief, and horror at what the Nihil are doing to people! Like, yeah, they're not designed to withstand that, that's why having a place they can retreat to is so vital for them, to have a place where they can shelter from the emotional storm that is just walking down the street with non-Jedi in the middle of a war or, god forbid, be trapped behind a storm wall where there aren't any other Jedi. Jedi weren't meant to be alone and so many of them are being pinned down in place and that's really hard on Jedi. Also, oh, man, the second issue of Saber for Hire was sooooo interesting, they had a Force-sensitive little girl named Lene and I would be surprised if that's not Lene Kostana, even if I'm squinting a little at how I guess she's supposed to be 200+ years old by the time she trains Sifo-Dyas? Also some banger lore about Force bonds, which I always love.

Uh, enjoy reading or smth.. I'm insecure about this

Texas was definitely Daniel's favorite race. He just loved wearing all those cowboy hats and boots and even those fringed jackets. It felt right, like a second home. But partying after the race week was even better.

They were currently in a bit overpacked bar, he and a couple of other drivers. Lando was talking to the DJ, trying to convince him to let him play some songs. Charles and Pierre were on the dance floor showing their not so good moves. And George, Mick and Max were sitting at the bar. (Carlos and Lewis got lost somewhere).

Max was sitting with his half empty drink, eying the dancefloor. He was looking at the certain Monegasque driver, Daniel just knew it. The two had been circling around each other for some time, but it was as if they couldn't exactly find each other. And it just drove Daniel crazy. Because the sexual tension between them was visible to everyone but these two fools. And maybe it was the time to change that.

"Hiya cowboy, how ya doin'?" Daniel asked, clapping Max's back.

The Dutchman hopped at the sudden appearance of the Aussie. But he smiled widely as soon as he saw him.

"Well, I'm good. And you having fun?"

"Yeah, it's actually great. But I've got a quest for you" Daniel began without waiting for an answer. "You have to give this to Charles and you can't ask any questions" he pointed to the cowboy hat on the counter. Max was currently playing with the hem of its visor.

Okay, now it was wierd and of course, there must have been some mischievous plan behind it, but since it was Daniel's day? Max was willing to do it, so he agreed.

Daniel watched him walk away with the cap on his head. Max pushed his way through the people on the dance floor, and when he finally reached Charles, he spun him around, put his cowboy hat on his head, and disappeared as quickly as he appeared. And luckily neither of them saw the sneaky smile that played on Daniel's face.

Later that night Danny found Charles sitting at one of the tables, drinking water or gin tonic... Never mind, that wasn't important. He slipped on the chair next to the Monegasque and smiled brightly at him.

"I see that you're having a good time?"

"Yeah, but I'm a bit tired of dancing" no wonder, since he hardly left the dance floor.

"And where did you get this hat? You look good in it" oh it's gonna be so good.

"Well, Max gave it to me some time ago" Charles shrugged not avare of the plan he was woven into.

Daniel faked surprise and Charles frowned in response. What would be so surprising in this small gesture?

"Oh, you don't know the cowboy hat rule?"

Yeah, Charles was oblivous, same as Max, but he didn't need to know that. All that mattered was to get rid of this tension between them.

"Enlighten me, Daniel"

"You know, wear the hat ride the cowboy" the Aussie wiggled his eyebrows.

And the blush that covered Charles face? It was a priceless sight that Daniel will surely keep in his memory for a long time.

"Uh, do you think he really..?"

"What, wants to fuck you? It seems like this, but go to him and find out" Charles was hesitant, but finally he stood up from his seat and dissapeared in the crowd of people on the dance floor.

And thanks to Daniel and his plan, because after that weekend that stupid tension dissapeared too. It seems like the cowboys had a great time in Austin.

Top Ten Things Sskeer, Orla Jareni and Stellan Gios were never meant to see

#1

Hi! Idk if the kwamies are just for fun or what, but I got the curage (and maybe it's fun) to list what my ideas (for my head"cannon" Miraculouses 😁)

Zebra - equalization, can turn things into their opposite

Llama - commitment, can shoot energy-spit and link the user to the target

Snail - syncronization, the user can sync with targets and control their moves, eithet making them mimic his movements or moving them like a hivemind, working to achive a goal. It also works backword, so othets can control the user's movements (this way it can learn techniques the other can do)

Hedgehog - so far, having pocket dimension to hide or trap othets, maybe change it later...

Pidgeon - generalization. The owner can make itself "unrecogniseable", meaning despite being a person in pidgeon costume, you can't recognise it, simply blends in (you only can spot them if you looking for something very-very specific about them)

Antelope - intention. If the user touches you with it's two horned stick you start to do whatever idea you currently head, even if it's crazy or unlikely to have any succes, the target starts it enthusiasticly

Rhino - potential. The user can "suck" the potential energy from things, making them living "object-magnet" atracting everything, even if it means an unpleasant crush... The user also can charge object with it, making them fly

Firefly - transition. Can become living energy, moving thing and even empovering machines. Literal force

Kangaroo - swich. Can swiching placement of object with limited range

Has no red panda (yet!)😅

Capybara - relaxation. The user simply can others feel good, whatever happening to them

Rattlesnake - avareness. Having bracelet with a campus like rattle-pointer which shows where a previously marked object is

Giraffe - exhaltion (stolen, since they modified the tiger to elation😁) choosing any ability, the user becomes the bes-best in it (like being humanly in the Guinise record book for it, and turn it up by Miraculous -holder standards)

Hippo - overprotection/motherly care (something along those line) can create a bubble where the target just sleeps and floats. This bubble saves the target very well, but not all-proof

Sloth - procrestination. Every time the target would like to do something, manipulates fate to do something (like, insted of taking Miraculous away, goes on for personal revenge (also gains litteral weight to arms and legs)

No racoon or beaver yet

Donkey - humblenes. With a whip, can make the target obey instractions of thr user and behave foolish

Coala - influence. Gives power to do whatever you wish, but limited very much how much support and love does the holder has from the sorrunding peaple...

I hope you like them or find some of them funny, there are many more, some of these even have "pairs" (won't grant wish, but opposite concepts, like LB and CN's), but I like these, hope you to, but I gladly reading your feedback on these as well 😁.

Have a nice day!🙂

They are just for fun but I don't think I would mind adding them if I got an idea for the miraculous and a weapon.

I already have a power for the zebra, anyone who sees them would get vertigo.

Ooh, so like a tracker I like that. They would spit on them and the spit would always be visible to the user. It could wear off over time, I really like this power.

That's really interesting, kinda reminds me of Martyr (black cat) and Mimic (wolf).

That sounds pretty similar to the ferret.

Oh, that's cool. Another I thought of was that they can spy with their feathers xd. But I think I like this one better.

So kinda giving them enough confidence to do that? That's cool, my thoughts were super speed but I like this one.

The salamander already has that power (Tag).

Oh, that's interesting. Kinda seems like an extension of the white lion.

That seems very similar to the panda.

I also haven't thought of one for the red panda 😔.

I see where you're coming from and it fits the capybara, but I already have that power (dove).

That seems similar to the llama.

That seems like the rooster but harder to explain to me. I know that I would have issues with that.

I like that! It's like a combination of betta fish and sheep. I like it.

Hmmm, interesting.

My original thought for the racoon was that they can steal powers, like the butterfly now. But that was when the layers didn't exist. For the beaver, I like the power that @randypelow suggested, the holder pulls objects to make a dome (like a knock-off Shellter).

The donkey was one of the oldest kwamis I had, he was made with Inn and I¨m pretty sure he was the only one who had a power from the set xd. The concept was Adaptation (or versatility at first) and the holder could change the suits to fit the situation, basically like the power-ups. But then I gave that power to the octopus and then I removed it xd. What you suggested seems kinda tricky to me I would have to think about it more.

So like the canon eagle or just a big amount of confidence?

I like a lot of these! You always have so many interesting ideas!

📓 (most interested if you have something in your head for TGE, but if you'd rather talk about something else, go ahead)

I have a number for TGE, but the biggest is DEFINITELY the Sedoretu AU round robin. (For those who don't know what a sedoretu is, it's a fancy polyamorous quad marriage created by Ursula K. Leguin, in which each of the four spouses has one heterosexual pairing, one homosexual pairing, and one person (of the opposite gender) whom it would be incest to fuck (whether there's any biological relationship or not).)

Back in May of 2020, we got to talking on the Goblin Emperor discord, and stills and Taliesin started a Sedoretu AU round robin (i.e. fic where anyone can contribute). After it was established, I also wrote some (though not as much as they did). And then it petered out. It's fun, but would need a number of fill-in scenes to make it into a cohesive enough thing that I would feel comfortable posting as a completed story. I came up with an outline that the other two liked, and even wrote one or two of the scenes! ... and then it petered out, and there it has stayed for over two years.

But I really love it!

Here's the bare bones: so, in this AU, goblins have sedoretu marriages and elves have monogamous het marriages. But, given the number of goblins in the Ethuveraz, there are a lot of sedoretu there as well--just not among the nobility.

Anyway, in this particular AU (as distinct from the general sedoretu trope) one of the members of the poly marriage is officially the manager/coordinator of the family. And so when the Great Avar is visiting, he tells Maia how wonderful it is that he's on the way to putting together his sedoretu! because obviously, Csevet would be the perfect manager, he's doing that already for his Emperor.

Maia (who got told all about sedoretu by his mother and secretly longs for One Big Happy Warm Polamorous Marriage but thought he could never have one because it's Not How Elves Do Marriage) is confused: Csevet, Csethiro, Maia himself, who would be the other wife? (But he still assumes it couldn't happen.)

According to goblin practice, the other wife would be Vedero, because that way any children born of the sedoretu would be members of the Imperial family. (In this sedoretu, the expected pairings would be Maia/Csethiro, Maia/Csevet, Csethiro/Vedero, and Vedero/Csevet. Maia and Vedero would not be a pairing, nor would Csethiro and Csevet--both of those would be considered incest.)

Csethiro: Actually, it would be fairly easy to sell to the court despite being A Goblin Thing because it would mean people could imagine that Vedero's future child (i.e. a pureblood elf) would be the next Emperor, rather than Maia's future child. If you're into it, I'd be up for it, sounds like fun, Vedero's hot and we're friends already.

Vedero: Neither Csevet nor I have any interest in the opposite sex, this is a way for me to have a wife and not have to worry about having to fuck my husband, and I would still be allowed and encouraged to continue my research! That sounds awesome, sign me up!

Csevet: I get to be with Maia? 😍

Maia: do ... do you think it would work? Could we get away with it?

And they do! And they all lived happily ever after.

And one of these days I'm going to finish and publish the damned thing.

(Ask box is still open to talk about my plot bunnies/ideas!)

EU/Canon Character Pairs

For fun - characters from the old EU and canon I think are similar in some way and some are more superficial than others (since I’m not necessarily familiar with all these EU characters). I imagine them drawn together in pairs in the same way as the Legacy comic covers of Adam Hughes, but that's for good artists to do.

Nomi Sunrider & Avar Kriss

Exceptional Jedi from long ago. 

Ysanne Isard & Gideon 

Imperial warlords and knowledgeable schemers.

Winter Celchu & Vel Sartha

Love your work! Are there any other blogs like yours that you know of?

Thank you for loving my blog!!!!! You’re so sweet, lovely!!!! Come here so I can hug you! 🤗🤗

I don’t know about like me, but I can give you a couple recommendations of other writing blogs and oc blogs I stalk visit regularly (also some art blogs just because!)

@just-some-girl-92 is super sweet and has a couple ocs and writings about her girl, Vesta; she and Scorch are adorable together! I also found a lot of these amazing blogs through her!

@voidika has Yarden who is with Boss (adorable!) and a couple of Commando ocs, including Sergeant Avar who I love and want to draw at some point. Her writing for Barden always has me gushing (to voidika: 🍓🍓)

@muguathepapaya is an amazing artist with a bunch of fun clone centered pieces (and Avatar!), and my favorite obsession is Knocks and Corn and their silly jokes and fun adventures! And right now I’m on their blog daily after that wonderful comic I saw yesterday!

@sundownsquad has a ongoing group of unique clones who I love (Drums, is my favorite!) and I’m very invested in their story! Also Ottos!

@roofgeese is another good one if you’re into Mortal Kombat! I love her OC, Echo, and all her writing!

Same with @ghastlyrider who is such a sweetheart too! I love her OC, Mira from Mortal Kombat and it’s always fun reading about Mira’s character!

@leon-anna and @twisted-falcon are new ones I’m learning about, but I definitely recommend both of them as well!

For smut writing, I really like @thefact0rygirl and @rexxdjarin (not sure if either have ocs though as most of their writing is reader-insert) and their writing is just *chef kiss* …I also totally do not go on their blogs to read and reread all the Cody and Echo content when I have a bad day… or leave occasional thots in their inboxes… 🫣🫣

some fav things this year

Read

Detransition, baby - Torrey Peters' book. just adding a one more assurance that it is just as good as everyone says.

Shopping Star as a semiotechnical code modulating Greek femininity in pharmacopornographic capitalism - fun opulence of hard words discussing interesting things. (article utilising Preciado's analysis tools to discuss (post)recession Greece)

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw - Rei Mikamoto's insane gory gross, hard to explain, manga about a girl with a chainsaw trying to kill the person responsible for turning her classmates into grotesque minions.

One Piece - caught up finally. yes, it is worth it.

67,292 Things Car Guys Can Teach Transsexuals by Adrian Glenn - part of the 2 Trans 2 Furious zine. as a car guy associate and transsexual i deeply loved this one.

The Shape of Premodern Nonbinarity: A Conversation with Leah DeVun - I'll never stop talking about this article.

Watched

Bronson - Tom Hardy movie, biography of "Britain's most violent prisoner " Charles Bronson. It doesn't completely highlight everything essential about his story (having a less than nuanced view on untreated mental illness and its relationship with incarceration) but it's such a good fucking movie!! And at least artistically very loyal to who it's depicting (insane and absurdist).

this video of jack harlow at a chiropractic appointment - we live such weird fucking times. like it isn't heartfelt but it isn't disgusting either it's just, w-what? eh?

Little chinese everywhere - vlogger Yan who travels though less tourist heavy provinces in China, really respectful look to everyday life in more rural communities. these have given me a lot of peace and joy. a lot of extremely intresting architecture as well.

Inflatables and the adults who love collecting them - by furry youtuber Ash Coyote. Truly a gem of respectful by fandom, of fandom documentaries. Touching and lovely!!

MerPeople - don't touch netflix anymore but this documentary of the mermaid community and industry is incredibly good.

this rose ramdin x html jones vid - the well read terminally online gen z musical artists who get their estrogen money from twitter shitposting are the modern greek philosphers. in the sense that i'd sit on a stone public square step and listen to a convo like this for the whole day.

A normal creepypasta retrospective - there's hope for youtube actually

Cat soup / Nekojiru-sou movie

Earth Maiden Arjuna - early 2000s environmentalist anime series lovers make some noicee. this one is sooo lovely and gorgeous. real hidden gem.

Gigs

Sabaton - as expected, bit of a weird vibe in the crowd demographic :--------D but show itself is an insane fucking spectacle I'm happy I saw. You can really sense these men are swedish, the "my country hasn't been in an active war for two centuries" theater kid energy is wild. Tank on stage.

Death Grips - I'm pretty sure this rebooted my whole brain. Went with close friend, pretty sure my biggest bruise came form her hands.

Antti Tuisku - Farewell gig of the best pop performer in finland. I do not understand how he doesn't pass out on stage with everything he's doing. The jesus allegory album is forever my favorite, it's so genious in how it discusses fame so well while staying funny and self-avare. Neck hurt for the next week due to headbanging.

Suistamon sähkö - small gig yet one of the absolute best this year. (i cried) You need to see these guys live, the vocal ability of the main singers is absurd, it doesn't come through fully in recordings. And they create a very special atmosphere and community within their gigs, literally joined hands and danced in a circle.
