I got besties who I want to info dump to me

I got besties who I can play video games with

Life is good

And also one who does both and I’m gonna impale myself on her dick but like it’s deeper than that

Sometimes I’m bummed we (momentarily) lost our laptops to pay for the vet stuff … but then I look at that video of tank and see how his personality is coming back day by day … and I’m so grateful that I would trade in every electronic device I’ve ever owned.

What…. a year….

2023 for a lot of us was real wild, and for me… Losing my voice for the first half… and then my job for the second half… It's been an emotional rollercoaster through and through, and honestly if not for you guys I' not sure how I would've survived it.

Tumblr is a barely functioning site but it's given me so much in the time I've been here. I have so many friends here, people who I've gone through so much with. Anger, depression, worry… the whole gambit… you guys have been amazing.

Thank you for writing with me, for liking my art, for supporting my art journey and my decision to go all in with the business!! You all have given me so much hope and confidence about myself and what I'm capable of. Do I still have worries?? Of course, but I also know that if it gets too bad, I'll be beaten to death with the positivity stick, and that means a lot to me.

It's been a lot of ups and downs but looking back on the past year, I see so many incredible highs taht the lows seem so insignificant. So I'm putting out there that 2024 is gonna be a better year.

May we have good times, may our pockets get fuller, our hearts even more so, and may the rough times be few and far between. May the silver linings shine brighter than they ever have before. I love you guys and I want you to have the most amazing new year!

I love you all...

Me over here feeling ever so grateful that I am friends with so many talented people. Especially ones that fuel my need to supply this entire fandom with Prime Mover content. Y'all are the MVPs. 😁

my mutuals are growing, , , ,flourishing,, , ,the world is replenishing holy shit i love it-

Zach’s hair is longer, long enough that he has to shake it out of his eyes when he straightens after taking his shoes off, and Josh is too startled to say anything, seeing him here out of the blue like this, but Daryl pauses the game they’re playing and jumps in, fills up the space with chatter. He even goes over to hug him quick, one-armed, less vicious about it than he was in high school, and in the interim Josh puts his controller down and gets a little uneasily up from the couch but then finds that doesn’t really know what to do with himself. What he wants to do is go put his arms around him, but how? After last time? After everything? It’s not fair, he thinks, that Daryl and even Meghan can treat Zach like a friend and he just doesn’t know how. Doesn’t even know if he should.

Omg you’re the sweetest 🥰, all is well, I’m stupid busy and prone to falling of the face of the earth. BUT much like the mighty cicada, I always rise again to scream aimlessly for awhile and repeat the cycle 💋

Thank you so much for fulfilling my request!!! I love it!

You're so so welcome!! I hope you all know that your comments and requests and general enjoyment of my work makes my day every time! Y'all are the real MVPs! :)

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

the thing about disco elysium is that it has women in it. what you see on the internet about it might lie to you about that but it has women, gay women even, very compelling women even, in it.

I love you albums. I love you songs connected by similar themes. I love you listening to songs in a specific order picked by the artist. I love you reoccurring motifs throughout the same album. I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.

HAPPY 3K EMD!!!

I won't even lie, it took me over a week to think up something special to do to celebrate but aaaaa-!!!

And I won't get too sappy, I promise..But!

I do want to say that I am constantly inspired by and proud of the lovely artists that bring this story to life. Thank you Somni and Teaa for sharing your amazing au 💖 and congratulations on hitting 3k! 🙌✨!!

i need ghoap frantically making out against a door finally taking the leap on their feelings. need ghost grinding against soap, expecting to find him just as hard as him, only to feel nothing

and in all his wisdom and experience, he concludes soap was tortured and never told him

he’s trying to think of a delicate way to say he understands, that he’s been through it and it doesn’t change anything about how he feels (and who the fuck touched him so he can hunt them down and rend them limb from limb)

meanwhile trans!soap’s just trying to find the best angle to grind his cunt on ghost’s thigh

just it never even entering ghost’s head bc he’s never known a trans person but he has met plenty of people who’ve been tortured - himself included - so of course that’s his logical leap

soap takes off his shirt and he sees his top surgery scars and ghost asks if he wants him to kill the one who did it and soap just hums like, “actually, man did pretty good, they healed real well,” and ghost’s just teary-eyes with awe at how well he’s coping, “looking on the bright side, that’s my johnny.”

imagine he thinks johnny was fully castrated but sees he’s determined to still have a sex life with him so he buys packers and straps to help him bc hell yeah healing and soap’s just like, “holy shit i’ve never had such a thoughtful partner before, such a sweet man, lt.”

i need you all to listen to me. you know how youtube will sometimes randomly recommend videos with like, 58 views? sometimes the stars align and the fucked up algorithm does something right.

go out there and watch a smaller mcyter. sub-100k at the bare minimum, but ideally under 10k and even more ideally under 1000 subs. bonus points if they have in the low 100s to under 100 subscribers. watch whatever video you got recommended. watch another of theirs if you vibe with it. pick a specific series of theirs that you really like. subscribe to them.

now. this is really important. leave comments on the video or series you like. do a running gag if it helps remind you to comment. and more important than that: pick a story they're telling and engage with it. draw silly fanart even if you don't have any place to share it with them. write a tiny little story and keep it all to yourself. hype them up to your friends. get excited about this person's videos. if they do have a discord or whatever, send fanart, get involved in their community, et cetera, just --

i cannot stress enough how good it feels to have at least one tiny niche thing that's your special thing. it rules. the more you can get the better, in all honesty it doesn't even have to be an mcyter it could be an itch.io visual novel or something, just pick something obscure you stumble onto and hold it close and let it tell its story.

there will always be something there.
