#Promotion is a pain

Peace Breaks Out
I have noticed that there is a renewed interest in the wonderful sequel of A Separate Peace,, Peace Breaks Out, and I thought it would be a good time to announce that I was planning on trying to draw the book graphic novel style (all rights reserved) so while it'll be a.. long while until I have the first chapter done, if anyone is a fan of PBO, is interested in reading PBO, doesn't know what that is and likes comics, anything else, then please check it out!
And uh feedback is appreciated (constructive feedback hopefully) since I don't have much experience drawing comics 😅 It's just for fun fortunately (because I would never be paid for this😅) And in the meanwhile, please check out @ofmiceandpeace's art and stuff for it! I have found that there are a few (very few) other posters about it, so honestly just read the book and then check out the tag. I know there's not a lot of fans on here, but that doesn't mean there aren't any spoilers...
#PBO comic#art is hard#Promotion is a pain#I'm only saying it because otherwise it'll just be M&P and I reading it... maybe not even other ASP fans...#WHICH WOULD BE SAD#So support your favorite (intentional? Unintentional?)ly gay book's author's much less gay but still plenty entertaining sequel!#I also figure some people might find the book too boring and verbose (had to look up so many words) and would enjoy it more in a visual for#PBO#john knowles#(know I mentioned criticism but please be light😅jk do what you want but I'll be freaking out if I see any comments negative ones even more

RealAgeAU Drabble - Gameplan
Hello! Another Drabble (second one i wrote) concerning the idea of Nightmare returning to his original form (Lovely Prompt idea by @spotaus )
First Drabble here
Prev drabble here
Next Drabble here
Warning, unedited and unbeta'ed. We die like my ability to spell anything.
----
Cross checks around the corner towards the street and waits for a moment longer before nodding "I think we are in the clear. We can talk here for a moment."
Killer just lounges back against a dumpster as he pants "Good! Cuz! I am not walking another step!"
Horror frowns as he searches his backpack. Slowly taking out some fruits "We need to stop this. We can't get the resources we need like this."
Cross groans as he rubs his face "I know I know. But we can't just settle anywhere! How do we explain..." He stops and slowly turns to look to the side at Dust.
Dust sits completely calm on the gorund, cross legged. Looking perfectly calm and content. With the still struggling Nightmare in his arms. Dust just sits there and looks at Nightmare with a raised brow and moves around a bit. Easily getting Nightmare to sit back in his lap with one of Dust's arm holding Nightmare around the middle wiht both arms trapped. And the second arm around his shoulders to pull him back easily. Nightmare looks grumpy beyond believe and Cross can't take it too seriously as Nightmare lost all his goop and corruption. All that remains is a perfectly normal and adorable tiny babybones.
Cross turns back to Horror and Killer and waits.
Horror looks at the scene before shrugging before turning back to prepare a snack for their now tiny charge. Looking calm as he moves.
Killer snorts "Why would we? Boss is tiny now. So what?" and he shrugs.
Cross groans as he rubs his face. He can admit that he will still need some time to get used to the change. But it is okay as he can accept it. After they found the old picture book and the just as old crown they had been putting together what actually happened. And well, even if they sometimes act dumb three out of four of them have university degrees of some type and Cross had always been one of the smartest soldiers.
That together with the known fact that Drema broke out of the stone young but grew up made the fact obvious.
It wasn't that they were in a situation of Nightmare having been deaged. They were in the situation that the Nightmare they had known had been an aged-up version of the real nightmare. Which is the very same grumpy babybones that Dust is holding right now.
Yeah. Cross just needs a bit more time.
Cross glares at Killer and focusses at the issue they need to actually fix "We know that!" he waves around them "But how do you think anyone is going to react to knowing we have Nightmare and that Nightmare is well... like this again?"
Killer hums and nods "I guess..." he turns towards Nightmare "How about a different name? What do you think Nighty? What can we call you?"
Nightmare glares with all his six year old force "Boss."
Killer snorts "got it tiny boss!" and he grins at Cross and shrugs "Guess that idea is a burst. anything else?".
Cross groans as he rubs his skull "don't you see the issue?! If anyone finds out about this they will try to take him from us and bring him to the Stars, if they don't just call the Stars!" Or worse. And they will think that killing Nightmare would be a reasonable solution to keeping him from aging up.
Killer actually glares as he radiates his blood- and LOVE-lust "Let them try."
Cross sighs as he rubs his face "what do you suggest we do?!"
Killer huffs "Obviously we do what we are doing now. We keep moving and universe hopping." and he nods.
Horror looks up with a frown "We can't do that. We will run out of resources. babybones need nutrients" as he says this he sits by Dust and Nightmare with the cut fruits. Nightmare focuses his full glare on Horror but Horror doesn't even blink. They have gotten used to this routine over the last few days and there is a good reason Dust and Horror do it.
Dust nods as he helps Horror by aiming the still struggling babybones "Not to forget his schooling. Now that he is young again he will need to relearn things. Can't do that while hopping from place to place."
Cross turns back to Killer and crosses his arms "See? horror and Dust agree."
Killer grumbles. "Fine! We find some stupid positive universe to hunker down in some abandoned building and do raids to get stuff. Easy!"
Cross crosses his arms "Still the problem of what we do if someone sees him. How do we explain that? people will think we stole him!"
Killer goes to speak. pauses and tilts his skull "I mean. Technically we did kind of steal him. Sure he was originally our boss, so ours. So we have the right to steal him again but still. Very much stolen."
Cross sputters "I! I wasn't serious!" well he was but not about the stolen comment!
Horror speaks up even as he feeds Nightmare, which Ngihtmare tries to fight but Dust is there to assist him. "Technically it wasn't stealing."
Cross sighs "Thank you Horror-"
"We kidnaped him." Horror finishes his statement as he manages to get Nightmare to eat a bit. Nightmare actually pauses and the stubbornness makes way for the much younger mind that enjoys the food and a tiny soft purr starts to leave the babybones. He doesn't struggle as much anymore as the second bite is brought over.
Cross stops and lets his skull fall into his hands "we are so fucked."
All three speak up "Language."
Cross groans louder. They are so fucked.

Prev part.
Next part.
#RealAgeAU#utmv#fanfic#drabble#deaged nightmare#bad sanses#That moment when your old boss gets transformed into a child so you forcefully adopt him instead#found family twice over lets go#What are the four to each other here?#maybe poly? maybe friends?#Somewhere in between?#Hell they don't even know. They just know they are struggling#Nightmare still has his memories.#But also his mind and body both returned to his real age which is six#without the extra powerups and with all the real fear and pain from his past abuse#He is not going to be an easy babybones#Do I need to tag all of them? Probably right?#I will just not do it for now. I am sure it is fine.#Yes also Nightmare is goopless and just Baby. Which is why he has been promoted (demoted) to babybones#Nightmare has a lot of large feelings now and can't process them all so he is also struggling#Not as much as his gang members though but still struggling

Have you seen the video when the doctors are watching leons hand and he tries to hold someone hand with the other One? That was sooooooo fucking cute. That man lenguage is definetely physical touch.
As a matter of fact, I have!
He’s so cute…even after suffering a fracture, he just wants a hand to hold—something to ground him through the pain. Ironically, to add insult to literal injury, Jo is literally RIGHT BESIDE HIM. Like, don’t just stand there, Jo! Hold your bf’s hand!! He needs you!!
#anon 💖#I mean ig he could’ve just been shaking his hand like that as a pain response but I DO NOT CAREEE#I like this version WAY better#me 🤝 anon: promoting the ‘Leon’s love language is physical touch’ agenda#leon goretzka#joshua kimmich#kimetzka#kimmetzka#leoshua#fc bayern#fc bayern münchen#fc bayern munich#videos#bri’s gifs

i love that the whole of that final ep is just all these characters setting themselves on the path of healing, that none of them are magically fixed, but instead are all committing to creating a world where not only they can heal, but where they can stop others from hurting. because it was never about a single person’s journey, it was about how a system managed to hurt and repress and ignore everyone in it, and how it’s only them wanting and fighting for better, for themselves and for the people they care about, that has the ability to destroy that system, and set in place a community that includes everyone. it’s only after the sun and moon have crossed each others passed, once the world has been shrouded in black, that clear blue skies can be seen again.
the eclipse, i love you.
#the eclipse#man this show#I just can’t help but applaud the message it managed to convey#and how everyone committed so much to a show that above all else wanted to promote love and acceptance and infividuality#and allowing yourself the space to not only mess up#but the space to forgive yourself too#the space to let yourself be flawed and hold yourself accountable and take every experience as a reason to grow#to learn the lessons life gives you#and move past them#don’t live in fear don’t live in resentment don’t live in pain#wake up tomorrow and try to find a world that is brighter#where the sun and the moon both exist and both let the other shine#bc they can only shine thanks to each other#wow I’m so emo this showwwwww

starting to feel really fucking weird about how eager white leftist goyim are to loudly proclaim their takes on israel and palestine. takes which often uncritically repeat antisemitic tropes. hating jews does not absolve you of your american white guilt i PROMISE (this post was made by an antizionist jew don’t spew genocidal bullshit in my notes)
#it’s genuinely hard being a leftist jew rn. solidarity with other jews feels painful and necessary and also it’s deeply saddening to#hear genocide being promoted in the name of my community and faith.#and yet. leftist spaces are by and large uncomfortable because of the amnt of antisemitic shit being spewed from people who are largely#ignorant of jewish history and culture#and it’s never like. actual palestinians saying these things

What’s it like voicing May Marigold?
What’s it like voicing May Marigold?
It’s a blast. I love her energy. I love the intensity that she has that simmers beneath every line. I love how she does her best to be friendly to new people but still keeps them at a distance, which shows she’s healing but not healed. I love how connected she is to the other Happy Huntresses and how much she cares about people. I love her fiery passion that explodes when she’s bottled it up for too long.
I love how unapologetically trans she is and how it’s part of her story but not the ONLY part of her story.
May is such a wonderful character, and I love her.
What’s it like voicing RWBY’s first openly trans character?
I was so excited to bring this character to life, I was waiting patiently for V8 so we could let May announce her being a trans woman herself, I hoped everyone would be as happy and excited as I was.
But then fan theories of “who could be trans” exploded (a lot of them initially well meaning at first) and spread a massive amount of miscommunication, then the decision to put the truth out there early was made, and thus began a tightrope walk of “this is still exciting” while my happiness for everything dangled over a bit of lava.
Lots of people, both inside the company/industry and from the fandom, made something that started as a dream into a nightmare.
Hate threads on Twitter. long transphobic videos on YouTube, “it should have been this character instead” or “your character is bad rep, we should have had (INSERT SHIP HERE) as queer rep instead” messages on Tumblr, people claiming “May’s coming out was so CONFUSING I had no idea what she even said”, and some people just straight up ignoring her all together because “she’s useless and serves no purpose” … this was just some of the publicly viewable stuff I had to deal with.
I’m not even going to go into the things I had to deal with that you all didn’t see happening because it wasn’t on social media and was behind closed doors.
What was supposed to be something wonderful turned into me getting harassed, made fun of, threatened, and left me ultimately horribly depressed and my heart and soul crushed.
I hope she made any kind of difference to people. Both outside and inside the industry. I hope her existing makes any kind of change for anyone.
I love May very much, I love playing her, and I’ll be happy to play her forever if given the chance!
But every other aspect of it was like walking on broken glass and having to keep smiling through it all.
#This is why it’s so painful to see trans characters get voiced by cis people#somehow those roles end up getting far more celebration and proper promotion behind them#meanwhile a trans person voicing anything -especially- a canon trans character is met with a small cheer or nothing at all#we have so much work left to do but people think it’s all done already#its exhausting#kdin#ask me anything#kdin jenzen#kdinjenzen#ama#hmvw2015#may marigold#rwby#rooster teeth
