The Customer Is Always Right Behind You. Look Out!

One of my favourite questions for figuring out a character’s motivations is which qualities they most fear being assigned to them. Are they afraid (consciously or unconsciously) of being seen as stupid? Ungrateful? Weak? Incompetent? Lazy? Cowardly? Intimidating? Like they actually care? etc.

It’s such a fun way to explore into who they are, why they do what they do, what they don’t do out of fear, and how they might be affected by the events of the story. And I love when characters have negative motivations—trying to avoid something (in this case, being seen a particular way) as much as they’re trying to achieve a goal.

wait ok now i'm curious how old were you when you joined tumblr and how old are you now

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

I first read this as "let us kill that foul nerd. together" and I was really down for killing Todd Howard.

in celebration of oblivion's birthday, let us kill that foul nord. together

grandpa harley left skaianet’s assets to mom because even though bro has two degrees he makes puppet porn for a living and sleeps on a futon

Gnomes, according to late medieval swiss occultist and doctor Paracelsus, are actually elemental spirits that inhabit and administer all solids. If something is solid, it's because of gnomes.

tumblr girls love to text someone a thought or joke and then post the exact same thing immediately after

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

How does magic work in Call of Cthulhu and the mythos in general? A few possibilities:

Yog-Sothoth hypothesis: The Lurker at the Threshold often venerated by eldritch mages is locked away from our reality, but can still interact with it through a few ways. Magic is one of these: the sorcerer becomes a small portal through which the All-In-One can seep into our world and affect change. Every time a spell is cast, the barrier between our universe and Yog-Sothoth deteriorates. No wonder it is so damaging to sanity!

Azathoth hypothesis: Our Universe is but a dream of our creator, the blind idiot god Azathoth. Have you ever heard a sound or have someone say something while you were asleep, and it affected your dream? Well, through learning the arcane language that Azathoth understands, you may do the same thing to his dream i.e. our reality! Better hope you don't overdo it, or you might wake him up and erase us all from existence...

Nyarlathotep hypothesis: Magic isn't real. It's all Nyarlathotep making it look like spells work. He does this because it's funny.

I'm a bit new to tumblr, so I didn't expect to be tagged in something like this, but I'll try my best to participate in this strange thing called human interaction.

Currently reading: a lot of toh fanfiction, but also fanfiction from a less reputable fandom, whose foul name I shall not invoke here. Some notable fics are: A Potter's Field, Corpse-stink and Retribution, the fic that tought me to always carefully read the tags, because holy shit that one is gruesome.

Fovourite colour: kind of hard to say. It used to be green, but then I realized half of my clothes were dark blue, so that would also be a truthful answer. Also all of the bisexual colours.

Last song: I/Me/Myself by Will Wood.

Last movie: I honestly don't remember the last time I saw a movie.

sweet/spicy/savory: sweet.

Currently working on: wish I could say I was working on any of my writing projects, but not only is my computer broken, but I was also not very creatively productive before that. Instead I focusing on adapting to my new part-time job.

Tags: going to have to leave this blank. The thought of interacting further with people right now is too stressful.

Currently reading:

Well, according to fics, only on AO3 26 pages of subscriptions… ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

But I can mention from AO3 “Fractures”

From Ficbook (!rus), I can only note “Truth is a cave” by chiwich

Oh, if I’m rereading book with infernal detectives (1991) (!rus), which fell into my hands back in 2012-13

ALT

I don’t really remember the events where I got it from. I just remember that I picked it up on street, for some reason a “garbage bin” pops up in my head, but it definitely doesn’t seem to be from it, right (⓿_⓿)???

Favorite color:

if roughly specified, they will be dark green, silver, ~terracotta, and purple

Its hard for me to describe in words, so I’ll attach ~approximate pic for colors

i like all colors

except for bright red shades, especially when there is a lot of it or if it is an accent color….. like

that’s why I usually not use bright red in the arts, even when draw Kai – I dim red a bit

oh what is there? ah eah

Last song

well I’m hooked now on (╯▽╰ )

“Dear Wormwood” – this is pretty related to the end arc for one of my OC now ahah

“You’re the Only Thing in Your Way” – this one for one of those AUs “that I probably donno how write”

“Lemon Demon - Modify” – its just fun music + funny animation 🔪🔪🔪

Last movie:

Does the Lego Ninjago Movie count? when I watched it for screenshots? I just don’t remember the last time I sat down and watched it just for the sake of a movie.

“Ирония судьбы, или С лёгким паром!” in new year i don’t count

Sweet/spicy/savory:

I really like sweet, milk chocolate, jelly and various caramels. I also really like sweet and sour things, especially if they cause a reaction like in cartoons, but in reality. But there are few of them, so lemons and kiwis will help me (○｀ 3′○)

I love spicy, of course, jalapeno, chili, and other spicy peppers

not against wasabi and horseradish (although for me they mostly differ in the burn duration and resting speed)

savory doesn’t evoke special feelings, like okay, not insipid and okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Currently working on:

A small animation like “into the game”. I have the first part sketch-animatic, but it seems to me that with the second part I put too much information for timing

some pictures for 14 february

and a small picture with butterfly 🍋

(ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ) wow how many txt
