SHANNON! how are you, girl? I haven't seen you around the traps! I answered some headcanons before I remembered you sent this so please strap in for some unhinged headcanons:

1. Both TK and Owen have 932874 step skincare routines and they both have those little plastic string headband things you use to keep your hair out of your face while you do it.

2. TK gives Lou spa days. During shedding time beardies sometimes need a little bit of help and I feel like TK whips out a spare wound bath from work, fills it up and puts Lou in it.

3. I think Carlos relented and let TK dress Lou up in a non-denominational, holiday appropriate costume and reluctantly posed for a family photo.

4. Paul does that thing where he tries to get Asha to tell him HR work gossip and - consummate professional she is - she doesn't tell him, but then Paul asks little probing questions and before you know it, he's worked out the tea anyway.

5. Mateo def hit up that douchebag guy Marjan went on a date with and had $500 bucks in a Ponzi scheme before Nancy talked him out of it.

WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOURS <3

SEND ME A RANDOM FANDOM ASK

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

Hey friend! This is such a good question!

I think, for me, it's a moment that happens in my Carlos POV Breakup Era fic I reread that all the time in writing my writing of TK's version and it's the night after they hook up again and Carlos wakes alone. It just hits me every single time and I feel such angst and saddness over it.

From You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

When he woke up the next morning, Carlos felt hungover - even though he hadn’t drunk enough to feel the effects of any alcohol in his system. No, he was drunk on TK, and somehow that was even worse. He sighed, pulling the blankets over his head but he pushed them away just as quickly when he realized that TK’s smell was all over them. It made his heart squeeze painfully - it was a cruel reminder that would fade quickly and break Carlos’ heart all over again. He pushed the pillow away and rolled over onto his back, looking up at the ceiling. He hated that everything around him was just a reminder of what he should have. A reminder that the bed beneath him was too big for one person. A reminder that the loft was too big for one person. A reminder that he had jumped the gun, had gone too far, and ruined the best thing that had ever happened to him. Carlos allowed himself to lay in bed and wallow in the pain for just a few moments before he finally pushes himself to get out of bed. As he moved to sit up, his body protested just a little bit, making him aware of the soreness that ran throughout every part of him. It had been a while since he had been fucked the way he had begged TK to fuck him and he was feeling it. He shifted again just to feel the soreness and enjoy it. A small, physical reminder that TK had been with him the night before and that they had found pleasure in each other’s embrace.  His feet hit the floor with a sigh, wincing a bit at the coldness of it and he briefly thought about finally breaking down and buying a rug for his side of the bed so he wouldn’t be shocked every time his feet hit the cold floor. He shrugged to himself, knowing that he wouldn’t make the effort to make the space more comfortable, and got out of bed, going straight to the bathroom to take a morning shower. As he showered, his mind kept drifting back to the night before and how good it had felt to have TK back in his arms, under his hands, in their - no his - bed. He thought about how TK had told him that he hadn’t been with anyone else since they broke up and when he did, a small amount of hope swelled up in his chest and he let himself think for just a moment that maybe he could do something to get TK back. If TK wasn’t seeing other people maybe that meant Carlos still had a chance. He forced the thought away, though, before it could really take hold because he knew that he couldn’t do that to himself. He couldn’t let himself have hope that TK would return to him. Just because they fucked again didn’t mean anything was going to happen.  A really good fuck that had Carlos wanting to beg - more than he already wanted to - for TK to come back to him, to let Carlos love him the way Carlos knew TK deserved to be loved.  He shook his head, tilting it back and letting the water run over his curls. He shouldn’t be thinking about things like that, the night before had been the last time he would be with TK - he had made that promise to himself. Just one more time to scratch the itch, to feel what it was like to be taken apart by the most beautiful man he had ever seen, and it would be enough. It had to be enough.

— WOW! MAYOR HUMDINGER IS SO EVIL! THE EVILLEST MAN ON THE EARTH! HE BELONGS TO JAIL!

Meanwhile Mayor Humdinger from PAW Patrol World: *asks Ryder for forgiveness, repents of what he has done, no one in the city hates him, mayor agrees to a joint holiday, and his dirty tricks are regarded as a fun adventure for him and pups*

Also here's some good ending where absolutely everyone is happy, both mayors and Ryder :)

THAT'S HOW PAW Patrol must work.

There's no need to do Mayor Humdinger more devilish than he's in the tv-show because he's not so evil as others make him.

Cal Brunker, fuck you and your movies for that.

PAW Patrol is supposed to teach that everyone can redeem themselves and has an another chance. Your films teach that you make an already evil person even more evil, and you don't solve it because pups need a punching bag.

No, thank you. I don't agree with this evil-to-jail policy. PAW Patrol World is more PAW Patrol Movie to me than the all movies Brunker did (and actually in the game all pups have their big screen time, lol).

"[Oscar Wilde] was recalled as attending a Socialist League lecture at Kelmscott House, wearing ‘a large crimson dahlia’ as a buttonhole, ‘an incongruous figure’, looking like ‘a basket of fruit, ripe and enticing’. According to Shaw, Wilde was the only literary figure in London whom he could get to sign the petition in the international working-class campaign of 1887 for the reprieve of the Chicago Anarchists, sentenced to death after a travesty of a trial. Shaw was to comment: ‘It was a completely disinterested act on his part; and it secured my distinguished consideration for him for the rest of his life.’ In 1889 May Morris invited Wilde to join a committee to promote a series of lectures by Kropotkin, and although he declined saying he was too busy to attend its meetings, he insisted that ‘if you think my name of any service pray make any use of it you like’. Wilde’s first public declaration of socialism came in 1889 in a review of Edward Carpenter’s anthology, Chants of Labour: A Song-Book of the People, remarking that ‘it is for the building up of an eternal city that the Socialists of our day are making music’, but, approving of the variousness of the poets and their contributions, he already expresses his libertarianism eloquently:

This is, on the whole, very promising. It shows that Socialism is not going to allow herself to be trammelled by any hard and fast creed or to be stereotyped into an iron formula. She welcomes many and multiform natures. She rejects none and has room for all. She has the attraction of a wonderful personality and touches the heart of one and the brain of another, and draws this man by his hatred of injustice, and his neighbour by his faith in the future, and a third, it may be, by his love of art or by his wild worship of a lost and buried past. And all of this is well. For, to make men Socialists is nothing, but to make Socialism human is a great thing." - David Goodway, Anarchist Seeds Beneath the Snow

I decided to redraw my old sketch, using it as an idea for a full-fledged autumn art.

Hi Jen!!!!!

33 and 34

33. What was your biggest writing struggle this year?

Time and motivation. The muse is willing but the rest of me has not co-operated as much as I would like. I just want some time off so it can be me and my laptop as the writing gods intended.

34. What's the weirdest thing you researched for a fic?

I did a LOT research for my currently-abandoned-Tarlos WiP in which I was working out how long air would last in a sealed room, what "common" items could be there to help with CO₂ scrubbing, and the history of land outside Austin, Texas. I went into full on Doomsday Bunker survival research. I have pages and pages of stuff with calculations and proper medical maths.

Maybe one day I will finish that fic and post it.

35. What do you enjoy most about being a fic writer?

also haven't told u that i love u in a while, love you!!! xxx

thank you, lovely! feel free to feed me love any time - i will gobble it up like a deranged, starving pigeon <3 i love you right back!

this was a popular question! tagging @fitzherbertssmolder @iboatedhere @rmd-writes and @heartstringsduet since they also asked!

i'm going to say the answer to this is twofold (already cheating lmao, sue me). the first part is loving writing simply for the process of creating and allowing fic to be an outlet - it's an escape from reality and a way to express myself in a way i otherwise wouldn't. i'm not a very creative person generally speaking. it's only through writing that i feel i can truly make something that scratches that itch.

i would say the second thing is the personal connection that comes with being a part of a creative community. being able to directly connect with the people that read your work, encourage you, inspire you and motivate you is incredibly fulfilling. i would say that sometimes this part comes at a cost - certainly i carry a lot of insecurities, as well as pain associated with certain things that have happened in fandom. but by and large, i would say it constitutes one of my favourite things about writing fic and being a fic writer.

thanks for the ask!

questions in this post if you want to ask me anything! (i turned anons on lol please be nice to me asdlkj)

I'm not sure if it's popular or unpopular but: IT'S DRAMATIC NOT TRAUMATIC AND I'LL DIE ON THIS HILL.

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

YOU'RE SO RIGHT BESTIE. Dramatic makes so much more sense than traumatic and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise.

Send me an unpopular or popular 911 Lone Star opinions and I'll rate them (and maybe add my own thoughts)

Another batch of my OCs. I really got into drawing their portraits.
