Don't imagine Lorroakin's battle gone badly. Don't imagine Rolan taking a killing blow meant for Tav. Don't imagine Alyn shoving lorroakin out the back window of his tower while Tav kneels by a quickly bleeding Rolan and desperately trying to heal him. Don't imagine the wound being magical and resistant to healing. Don't imagine rolan stroking Tav's face while telling them, "You were my new dream." Don't do it.

Anyone remember Dan VS. ?

Grocery run!

just a silly doodle of how I think they would dress casually.... why is it the most on-model I've ever drawn them.... why do my doodles always turn out this way.... please send help....

Consider...

They're friends! :D

(I'm sorry if Barnaby's arm looks off I tried my absolute best-)

i think the most annoying part of amatonormativity is that not only do you NEED to feel love, and not only is there an order your relationships must follow (romantic/sexual partnership above all, then family, then friends) but the fact that other people HAVE to be your top priority. like even if you feel all kinds of attraction, if you dare put anything else above your relationships they consider you evil. god forbid you enjoy your hobbies more than being around your friends even though how much you care about something is completely outside of your control. it's the worst.

The real beginners experience is getting to the Archive area too quick, making friends with the people who saved your ass from sky shrimp, and then finding out they're heading to somewhere called eden and were just collecting lights last minute.

Cut to ubering tiny day 3 me to Eden cause I shitposted about speedrunning, making it to the end with a team of 5, and then getting absolutely fucking obliterated. I felt so bad I had no idea we were supposed to die. The veterans were so cool abt it tho they got a solid giggle. Extremely fun experience 11/10 would recommend

noooo don't start pursuing vigilante justice motivated by altruism and a deep disillusionment with the japanese justice system only to quickly spiral into excessively brutal retributive justice as you experience rapid motivation decay and lose sight of your original goals. yuor so sexc haha

So al was asking ppl to ask her questions as her Fridays are so dull while her partner doing a play. Doesn't she find when she wiv michael it dull cos usually shows it or the other way round and then the bird one I found interesting cos since when have we seen Ms be protective over Al we haven't seen him speak or defend his relationship of what the journalists or ppl say about his relationship of what was said on weds where she defended it and and put a insta story about it we all know he loud but protective I think if he had to choose to protect or save someone it would be david hands down not al

What ur thoughts love to hear ur take on this

(Grouping together for ease of answering. @hyperfixating-rn-brb's Ask is referring to the last screenshot.)

So, I saw this as it was happening on Friday, and...yeah. I'm not sure what the impetus behind this random Insta AMA was (perhaps PR suggesting that Anna do something to counter her rash of recent off-putting social media posts?), but whatever the reason, choices™ were definitely made with some of (well, most of) her answers.

I think what struck me about the ones in these screenshots is how they’re lowkey insulting to Michael, but all in different ways (and not overtly, but passive-aggressively, as hyperfixating-rn-brb mentioned). It also seems odd that AL is currently in London, one of the most dynamic and attraction-filled cities imaginable, yet acting as if there is nothing to do on a Friday night. (Because Michael (and/or Georgia) aren't there to entertain her, I guess?)

Leaving that aside, the entire way this happened was just strange. A lot of the questions felt very boilerplate ("Are you currently reading anything?" "Who is your biggest inspiration?") and almost like they were planned in advance (I think at least one actually was from someone AL knows personally, IIRC), yet interspersed with enough "wacky" questions to give the impression of it being this spontaneous Q&A thing.

As for the answers in the screenshots above, I saw people on Twitter getting outraged over the "girly" question on Saturday, but predictably for all the wrong reasons. In particular, I noticed people once again blaming Michael/David shippers for it, but just from the wording alone, my feeling was that whoever sent in this question did not seem to be a shipper at all. "Girly" has a very specific, borderline homophobic connotation to it (akin to someone asking Anna if she "acts dykey" around Georgia), and while I know English is not her first language, I don't think that meaning is something AL would have missed.

So, no, it's certainly not a great or appropriate question by any means. But the bigger issue, at least in my opinion, wasn't so much "Why would someone ask this?", but rather "Why would she post this?" Because Anna is a grown woman who could have very easily just ignored this question altogether. Instead, she chose to draw attention to it, and to react in much the same way as her "vagueblogging" from the other day. It was as if the purpose in sharing it was to show people what she has to "put up with"--either from the fans or from Michael or both.

That's the other piece of this--that she shared this question with seemingly no regard for how it makes Michael look, or whether it would or could be embarrassing to him. It immediately made me think of this tweet from Michael two years ago, where he chose to answer a question in such a way as to deliberately not embarrass David (further explanation can be found here). It's something that seems so small but means so much, and that you'd think would happen effortlessly for someone you love. So the contrast of that to Anna posting this was striking to me, and it was further compounded by her answer to the "favorite bird" question.

Again, it's almost unsurprising at this point. Anna has previously made unflattering comparisons between Michael and Cousin Itt, a Hobbit, and Hagrid--among others--and now we can add a cockatiel to this list. What’s weird is that the question itself had nothing to do with Michael, so there was absolutely no reason to bring him into it...and yet. It felt like name dropping for the sake of name dropping, which just seems like a weird thing to do when she's been dating him for five years now. Did she think we forgot? That we needed a reminder? Whatever the reason, this definitely seemed like such a strange choice, and another instance of passive-aggressively putting him down under the pretense of a compliment.

(A note about the "protective" part, as I noticed that was particularly mentioned in this Ask. I would agree that there are a lot more overt/visible instances of Michael being protective of David--many of which I have talked about on my blog--than of Anna. That does not mean I don't think he is protective of her, however, but that there is a distinction between the two. It is possible to be protective of someone out of a sense of responsibility and obligation, and those are not necessarily bad things. But it's very different to being protective of someone not because you feel like you have to be protective, but because you want to be. Interpret that how you will...)

Finally, I just need to mention that one of the questions AL was asked was about Georgia ("Is Georgia secretly holding you hostage?"), and what I have hardly seen anyone talking about is that Georgia reshared that Insta story a short while later...and added a song called "I'm Trapped"...

I just...was this meant to be shady on Georgia's part? Who, exactly, is "trapped" here? The subtext and potential implications can go in so many directions here that it's hard to know where to start, but...yeah. The optics of Georgia resharing this story and adding that song in the middle of AL's Insta Q&A were and are questionable/cringey/unintentionally hilarious on multiple levels.

So yes, that is my take on the events of Friday night. As I've said before and will again, I know I could be totally off the mark here, so I'd love to hear from my followers as to what you think. Thank you for writing in! x

I'm going to start headcanoning medic as the most neurodivergent dude to ever exist and no one can stop me.

Type of guy to have sudden violent urges that he cannot properly control and when he cannot act them out he just stands there twitching for a wee bit. he's just like me fr

MY FAVORITE GUY !!!!

Started off as a doodle, ended up actually shading 💀

CLOSE UPS:

me trying to explain to my dad that

this

is the single best moment in puppet history (maybe all of @wearewatcher history) because ryan killed the professor last season and since then he's slowly been manipulated by a hologram version of the puppet he 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 he killed because👏he👏was👏there👏when👏it👏happened👏 all the while, the ACTUAL professor was chilling with his dinosaur parents, teaching them history and genuinely just being a light to their lives, none the wiser that he'd been replaced. But not only did the imposter professor want to literally skin Ryan alive, he had been giving him PUPPET CREAM the whole time (which I'd headcanonded that he was using to somehow eat him, idk-) and on top of ALL that, now the real Professor had learned a thing or two from his new parents "you know, if you apologized to beef-boy, he'd probably forgive you." and came to genuinely care for, not only them but for Ryan and his future friends too. Then, when it all came to a head, (i.e: the meteor about to kill the dinosaurs and Ryan defeating the hologram) all Ryan wanted was the real Professor back. That THIS was the best form of character development I've ever seen put to screen and the result of hours upon hours of late hours at work to create something truly special.

My dad just trying to watch ancient aliens:

GAY PUPPET JUMPSCARE

Usually I am much more of a sketch-refine-shade kinda person but I got into a groove with this and I really like how it turned out. The power of hyperfixations!!! 🌿🌿

I MADE MATCHING CHARA AND FRISK HALLOWEEN ICONS! Because of course I did.

!! they were STANDING BACK TO BACK and they had the audacity to not light this scene at all so we never got to even see it 😤

Heehoo
