Damn, why did i just figure out that aromantic awareness week was this week...

And wow, we really did that.

My Sam & Max cosplay I debuted at a local con during the weekend!

i dont think ive flat out drawn kikumitsu before but the beast awoke tonight i guess

its incredibly depressing to see every post about people enjoying palworld is like "is it blatantly ripping off Pokemon? Yes! And I'm loving it!" and weird stuff about how totally taking designs from a larger company is somehow anti capitalist (??)

like is there no artistic integrity anymore. watched vinny play it and it was genuinely just shitty ark. go play that

WAIT BIG BRAINED THOUGHT:

Sam does smth stupid hoping Dean won't find out.

Someone rats Sam out to Dean.

Sam gets in trouble and a lecture from Dean (bc Dean is a parent and he is Sam's parent I will not accept criticism on this matter).

Later, Sam makes a group chat consisting of everyone who could have told on him to Dean and just sends this video:

Thinking about Battinson slowly starting to step out more in his Bruce mask, courtesy of realizing the city needs more than what he had been offering her, getting back to Mayor Réal about what he could do, etc., and as such... kicking off that verse's version of Wayne being the Damsel In Distress Du Jour and needing to LET himself be rescued by the GCPD on occasion.

And when it all first starts he's annoyed, because this is drawing SO much attention to him and also having to LET himself be the hostage when he KNOWS it would be SO EASY is just so frustrating....

...until a few go rounds in, when he starts realizing like oh. another nice dark cool room to wait alone by myself in for a few hours 🥺 this is so nice thank you i was getting so tired and now like

Whenever the strain of Being Bruce Wayne is just graaaating on him, or even just an appointment coming up that he's too burnt out (or just... doesn't want to) attend... maaaaaaaybe he arranges... just... just a little anonymous ransom for himself online so he can get kidnapped soon. As a treat.

clem is such an interesting character and so different from what i usually see in IFs like I've yet to see an RO who is scared of everything? in a world of girlbosses and mansplainers we need the clems

thank you!

i'm glad that they feel different :-) when i started tnp, a lot of romance stories, especially fantasy or supernatural, tended to put the mc in Clementine's role. there are exceptions now, of course, i'm not trying to make a broad statement, especially since within IF that's actually something that's changed a lot over the years, but i definitely wanted the mc in tnp to be the competent, protective, "mysterious stranger" type, which is an archetype that used to (typically) go exclusively to love interests.

which means that we get to have poor little meow meows like Clementine as our love interests, instead :-) i also really like having Clem as a bit of balance, because they're life has been so different from everyone else's - Merry is a career criminal, and we've seen that she has no hesitation getting nasty and violent, while Noel, Lea, and the hunter have all been entrenched in the Order for their entire lives, with all of them also being very familiar with violence and comfortable with it or at the very least indifferent towards it.

even though Clementine is running from something, and is just as much as a fugitive as Noel, compared to the others, they really are the "normal" one, who just had their life upturned by running into a group of hardened fighters and criminals. or at least, upturned in a different way than it already was.... we'll get to see their reaction in the second half of chapter 2, but Clementine deals with what happened in Blackwater very differently than everyone else, because it's not like something they've ever really experienced before.

Obligatory monster au for Halloween tomorrow <3 <3

Basics of it: The majority of the (Main/Actual characters) English Aerial Corps are monsters, the only two of the main ones who arent are Sutton and Warren (Berkley is a werewolf im just too lazy to draw him) the public doesnt know that their corps are basically all monsters but they also wouldnt care too much bcs theyre already a bunch of weirdos anyways

My thinking for why Laurence is a franken style monster is that Lord Allendale in this world experiments with that kinda stuff

so guys um. really fun update as a result of me once again being really good at understanding and responding to social situations. im pretty sure the friend im seeing is convinced we r like in a relationship or About to be and im just now realizing the extent of that and how quickly im slamming the brakes/going to attempt for smth more casual. um.. girl help

seen both episodes of horizons now and holy fuck

Guys... the world's sourest candies from that video cost less than $5

The only thing that's holding me back right now is the fact that they're currently out of stock

my most major criticism of re2 remake i think is really how ada is handled not just bc im an ada akgae but because it removes a lot of atmosphere like the sensation in the original is that there are dozens of guys constantly unseen moving through the city doing shady shit running into each other in remake it feels so much more videogamey and isolated

masking so good it just becomes detrimental to you bc now no one will ever believe you if you say something might be wrong with you and now you cant get help like i wish i could just show you my memories and mind grrrr

having did and being online in any capacity is so fucking exhausting because you literally can't go anywhere without seeing the most heinous takes about your existence or validity it's like. can we be normal. can we please be normal and Chill for like two seconds.

do u ever think about the fact that when mike is hurting he goes and hugs his mom but he doesn't tell her anything. just seeks physical comfort to make up for the lack of closeness bc it's infinitely safer that way and makes them feel close enough to him tht they won't ask questions. and then when ur done thinking about that do you ever then think about the fact that, judging by what we've seen on the show only, mike and el don't ever talk. they spent most of their relationship just making out in her room and annoying hop. and when mike Did have an issue (s3 when hop threatens him) instead of talking to el about it he lies n seeks help from lucas instead. and when he does try to talk to her in the store later on he just can't do it. he can't get his words out and when he does he's just being the most confusing person ever by skirting around it and therefore not actually saying anything at all before the conversation is unceremoniously dropped and forgotten entirely. and then when they do finally talk for real in s4 it's the same thing but worse. el opens up and continues the conversation HE started but he just shuts down once it gets real and honest and about HIM. he doesn't tell her how he feels and can't understand how she feels and doesn't take any accountability for the things he's done either. just deflects, deflects, deflects until they're no longer talking about him. do u ever think about how mike copes by seeking physical comfort so that he doesn't have to talk about how he feels or what he's going through. AND THEN do u ever consider the fact tht when it comes to the person he does actually love in that way he's unashamedly more than willing to talk n be honest about how he feels and what he's done without even being prompted to, but he can't handle actually touching him anymore. because then it's too much. it's too real, too close. it's too much to let himself be known and seen and touched all by the same person. it's too much for will to give and want to give him the same love and attention mike's been giving him since the beginning. to be whole and true with someone else and still found worthy. to be held so intimately and truly. he can comfort and bring himself to put a hand on will when he needs it most, but to have that want and love reciprocated in earnest and what that would mean for him is just too much. do u ever think abt tht or am i the only one going crazy about this aha x 🥲
