But No - Blog Posts

I’m 100,000 words into a fic that I was SURE was a slash fic only to check the tags again and find it’s a gen 😭😭😭😭

But I’m too far in now to stop so I’m gonna have to go with it.

Just found out I’ve been ROBBED of what could have been one of my favorite one piece outfits (granted it wouldn’t have even been canon but I don’t care) regardless why am I just now finding out that in film red Katakuri was supposed to get a pirate outfit from Uta but didn’t and you can find the actual sketch of the outfit pretty easily and I’m livid WHY DID THEY TAKE THIS FROM US ITS LITERALLY PERFECT AGHGFTHHVUERETUTEIYRUTWIFSIG

People saying TFP Optimus is the one who fumbled will never not be funny because???? Fumbled what, the crack addict???? Baby that’s called Dodging a Bullet

I just finished “of all the stories in the stars ours has yet to be told” and—I am in LOVE. Your characterizations of them are?? So sweet??? Agh. Danny’s feeling over dash wanting to hear him infodump are gonna make me either melt through the floor or evaporate into the ceiling. I just. AGH. Them <33

also I just came off a big hadestown kick, so the Orpheus and Eurydice parallels are doing things to me waugh

(and also also—tall Danny as a headcanon will never not be my favorite thing. You mentioned it was inspired by the fic/fancomic fusion that made him taller than dash (the name escapes me—although it shouldn’t because that series is also amazing—and it’s what brought me to your fic too iirc) —BUT! Yeah. Love love love love <3)

AWWWWWW thank you! I'm so glad you like it!

Hadestown is so fucking good oh my god. I used a quote from the musical as my senior quote lol. Originally I planned on doing Perseus and Andromeda parallels but when I got to the star gazing scene I second-guessed it and asked my coworkers and they voted for Orpheus and Eurydice, so I changed the outline and events and went with this instead. I like it more.

I was inspired by @tatumsdrawing comic. Their comic came across my dashboard and I was like "Oh, I loved that show as a kid, let me give this a little looksy" and I was immediately dragged straight down here and had so many ideas pop into my head. And now I own the series on DVD, it was my Halloween costume, and I have a list of other fics I plan to write. Their comic is actually so good and means a lot to me because I've been trying to get back into writing for a while now and it wasn't until I saw their art that I was able to. So, yes, sometimes I steal their headcanons, like Danny being taller lol. (Literally cannot wait for part ten, I might die of excitement)

But I'm so glad you liked it! I'm so so so close to being done with chapter 8. I wanted it to be done a few days ago but life keeps kicking my ass. I'm working on it rn though so hopefully I can get that posted soon!

Thank you so much! <3 <3 <3

happy holidays, merry christmas,,, uhhhh happy birthday? that probably covers everything for the next few months or maybe forever your welcome

lukewarm take but i personally do not give a shit if poor people cheat a system that was designed to fail them anyways. i also coincidentally do not enjoy the taste of boot rubber

the mindscape swings

Hc that when Chuuya grabbed Dazai's face during their first interaction it was because he wanted to get a better look at it because he's never seen the other half uncovered before.

Officially wrote out the school information. Will probably keep everything for this under the tag "Twining Fates" for the sake of organization.

If I'm not gonna work on my assignments I might as well commit to working on the creative thing. Tumblr I'm relying on you to hold me to keep working until I have a full fic and not give up halfway through.

Basic concept: Fake TWST event ft. new made-up school cause I wanna do SOMETHING with it.

Event plot line goes as follows: Despite the first Promising Young Mage Social ending in disaster, the schools agree to attempt holding it one more time. This time, the hosting school will be Twining Fates Academy, due to the school having a reputation for its extremely safe, controlled campus. Crowley ends up raffling another 10 students, but that number goes up to 14 due to the inclusion of Ramshackle dorm + Twining Fates specifically noting that groups of visitors should come in even numbers.

Note that this would take place in what I am referring to as my "Double-Yuu" AU... hence why the inclusion of Ramshackle brings the count to 14.

He was not normal about anything but my brain rotted on Isekai couldn't see it

Thinking about Kim Roksoo who easily accepted that he now lives in a world where monsters exist and beastmen exist and magic and stuff exists. Because he came from a world that was infested by monsters and people awakened abilities. He wasn't much fazed by it because it was basically the same just the medium to deal with them changed. It should have been the first hint for us that he did not come from the normal Korea.

Love the fact the anime made the three AFO users share the same (or almost the same) shield quirk:

Nine.

Shigaraki.

All For One.

Which is funny and notice I said the anime, because in the manga neither Shigaraki or All For One are using (or have) shield quirks.

They likely use air cannon or some blast quirk in those scenes ->

But Bones specifically changed that into quirks that resemble Nine's Air Wall quirk.

I like to think it's a tribute to my king 🤍

However the shield quirks of the other two seem to be much weaker that Air Wall.

AFO shield quirk in particular is probably the worst, as it only covers a very small radious and it was destroyed by one Jet Burn from Endeavor.

Meanwhile Nine's version of the quirk can cover a gigantic radious if he user wants:

Also Air Wall can stack multiple shields into one and it was powerful enough to stop a charge from Deku going full 100%

All this makes me think Air Wall is such a boosted quirk in general.

No wonder why Nine stole that one. Smart boy.

Geoducks sound like a whole ass dark souls monster when you describe them

20 Days In Mariupol (2023), dir. Mstyslav Chernov

Because I have a disease where I want to add a baby to every television show I think Odo's changeling baby should have stuck around, but to save money they stay a little jar of goo for a long time. Like Odo's talking about how they turned into a dodecahedron yesterday but every time we see them Odo's carrying a jar of goo and is like "Say hello to the Major, sweetheart. They're all tuckered out 🥺." This has been "Deep Space Nine Slapstick Pitches."

I am passed off at my school.

Why? You might ask?

Well my friend, because this GOOD FOR NOTHING BULLSHIT EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT HAS DONE NOTHING BUT FUCK UP MY MENTAL HEALTH um, my school has prevented me from sharing my fic with my personal account on my phone/laptop and so I cannot post my fic on ao3. Another reason I am mad is because this was over 3 thousand words and I an NOT manually copy and pasting it. I am going to keep on writing and simply figure it tf out later.

Do better America.

I've been *literally* put on hold for 40 minutes this morning, so I guess the Universe thinks I have time to lose or whatever

Day 5 (Five)

Gender Identities

Characters: “Flynn ‘Puck’ [he’s just called Flynn :) | SHOA], Hosah Azriel Elderhallow [D&D Campaign], & Kolimai [doesn’t need a last name | Disaster Crew]

  [Image Description: The first character on the left is a young (seemingly) masculine person who named Flynn. He is sitting on some object with one leg tucked under the other as if trying to balance something in his lap. He has light colored that is extremely thick (so much so that it is extremely fluffy and poofy) and has heterochromia, with his right eye being dark colored and his left eye being light colored (his eye colors have not been fully decided). Flynn has large black wings that are semi folded behind him. Flynn has a darker skin tone. Flynn has several scars visible, namely one slash on the right side of his face, a slash scar on his neck horizontally, a large burn on his left knee, a few others. Flynn is wearing a t shirt that says “Great Sage Equal to Heaven” on the front and the initials “SW” on the sleeve that are supposed to be a reference to “Sun Wukong.” Flynn is also wearing shorts with boots that are not the same color.

  The second character is near the center of the image, he is named Hosah. Hosah has light colored eyes and hair, though their hair is darker than Flynn’s. Hosah is wearing high waisted pants, boots that go up to the calf, and a button up shirt with a bola tie (I think that is the term for it but it doesn’t have the gem that bola ties seem to have). His hair is long and straight, it is in a loose pony tail that is draped over chest. They have several small scars and are wearing a band on their left arm that says “Druid,” there is also fire coming from their left hand in a ball. The is a small halo over his head, though Hosah is not dead, they are simply of celestial heritage. 

  The third character is only a head that is on the right. They have glasses and smooth hair. Their name is Kolimai.]

  [Text in Image: Flynn; Genderfluid (Flynn); He/They/Em (Flynn’s Pronouns, the last one is a neopronoun); Hosah Azriel Elderhallow; Demiboy (Hosah); He/They (Hosah’s Pronouns); Kolimai; Agender (Kolimai); They/Them (Kolimai’s Pronouns); Little Fae Jerk (an accurate yet oversimplified summary of Kolimai’s character); June 5th (fifth); Gender Identities; All three (3) are geniuses]

  Flynn can be simply described as Flynn by everyone, or some people describe him as a genius “Cotton-Eye Joe” (which he has no idea why they call him this as he has great vision and isn’t named anything close to Joesph) as no one knows where he came from or where he goes in his free time. Flynn was extremely quiet at first but then suddenly started to socialize, one day he behaved as if he was an observer then suddenly the next day, he blended into the class perfectly. Everyone thought that was just some kid but the more they talked to him the more they realized he was anything but a normal kid. The main thing everyone figured out quickly, he somehow knows almost everything to know about math and science but has never heard of anything related to pop culture. He didn’t even know what ice cream or soda was. 

  Hosah is an Archdruid of the highest order, who spends his days helping the small town he helped found with an old school friend and managing many businesses. Well, most people don’t think he’s a druid, due to the fact that never shapeshifts, he is always Good Ole’ Hosah. He often pays his friend Crypt visits in their forest.

  Kolimai is the leader of the odd jobs business they run with Stephan and Nicoren. They also have an OBSURD amount of doctorates, because what else are immortals supposed to do? Stephan and Kolimai met when Stephan was 10 during the aftermath of the garlic bread incident. And Stephan & Kolimai met Nicoren at the same time. While the Kolimai knows a decent amount about the other two, they don’t really know a lot. They know Kolimai is cursed, and they know that their immortality and eternal youth aren’t curse... but other than that, they don’t know sh*t.

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. “Do I look like a fool?” said the frog. “You’d sting me if I let you on my back!”

“Be logical,” said the scorpion. “If I stung you I’d certainly drown myself.”

“That’s true,” the frog acknowledged. “Climb aboard, then!” But no sooner than they were halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the frog, and they both began to thrash and drown. “Why on earth did you do that?” the frog said morosely. “Now we’re both going to die.” 

“I can’t help it,” said the scorpion. “It’s my nature.”

___

…But no sooner than they were halfway across the river, the frog felt a subtle motion on its back, and in a panic dived deep beneath the rushing waters, leaving the scorpion to drown.

“It was going to sting me anyway,” muttered the frog, emerging on the other side of the river. “It was inevitable. You all knew it. Everyone knows what those scorpions are like. It was self-defense.”

___

…But no sooner had they cast off from the bank, the frog felt the tip of a stinger pressed lightly against the back of its neck. “What do you think you’re doing?” said the frog.

“Just a precaution,” said the scorpion. “I cannot sting you without drowning. And now, you cannot drown me without being stung. Fair’s fair, isn’t it?”

They swam in silence to the other end of the river, where the scorpion climbed off, leaving the frog fuming.

“After the kindness I showed you!” said the frog. “And you threatened to kill me in return?”

“Kindness?” said the scorpion. “To only invite me on your back after you knew I was defenseless, unable to use my tail without killing myself? My dear frog, I only treated you as I was treated. Your kindness was as poisoned as a scorpion’s sting.”

___

…“Just a precaution,” said the scorpion. “I cannot sting you without drowning. And now, you cannot drown me without being stung. Fair’s fair, isn’t it?”

“You have a point,” the frog acknowledged. “But once we get to dry land, couldn’t you sting me then without repercussion?”

“All I want is to cross the river safely,” said the scorpion. “Once I’m on the other side I would gladly let you be.”

“But I would have to trust you on that,” said the frog. “While you’re pressing a stinger to my neck. By ferrying you to land I’d be be giving up the one deterrent I hold over you.”

“But by the same logic, I can’t possibly withdraw my stinger while we’re still over water,” the scorpion protested.

The frog paused in the middle of the river, treading water. “So, I suppose we’re at an impasse.”

The river rushed around them. The scorpion’s stinger twitched against the frog’s unbroken skin. “I suppose so,” the scorpion said.

___

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. “Absolutely not!” said the frog, and dived beneath the waters, and so none of them learned anything.

___

A scorpion, being unable to swim, asked a turtle (as in the original Persian version of the fable) to carry it across the river. The turtle readily agreed, and allowed the scorpion aboard its shell. Halfway across, the scorpion gave in to its nature and stung, but failed to penetrate the turtle’s thick shell. The turtle, swimming placidly, failed to notice.

They reached the other side of the river, and parted ways as friends.

___

…Halfway across, the scorpion gave in to its nature and stung, but failed to penetrate the turtle’s thick shell.

The turtle, hearing the tap of the scorpion’s sting, was offended at the scorpion’s ungratefulness. Thankfully, having been granted the powers to both defend itself and to punish evil, the turtle sank beneath the waters and drowned the scorpion out of principle.

___

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. “Do I look like a fool?” sneered the frog. “You’d sting me if I let you on my back.”

The scorpion pleaded earnestly. “Do you think so little of me? Please, I must cross the river. What would I gain from stinging you? I would only end up drowning myself!”

“That’s true,” the frog acknowledged. “Even a scorpion knows to look out for its own skin. Climb aboard, then!”

But as they forged through the rushing waters, the scorpion grew worried. This frog thinks me a ruthless killer, it thought. Would it not be justified in throwing me off now and ridding the world of me? Why else would it agree to this? Every jostle made the scorpion more and more anxious, until the frog surged forward with a particularly large splash, and in panic the scorpion lashed out with its stinger.

“I knew it,” snarled the frog, as they both thrashed and drowned. “A scorpion cannot change its nature.”

___

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. The frog agreed, but no sooner than they were halfway across the scorpion stung the frog, and they both began to thrash and drown.

“I’ve only myself to blame,” sighed the frog, as they both sank beneath the waters. “You, you’re a scorpion, I couldn’t have expected anything better. But I knew better, and yet I went against my judgement! And now I’ve doomed us both!”

“You couldn’t help it,” said the scorpion mildly. “It’s your nature.” 

___

…“Why on earth did you do that?” the frog said morosely. “Now we’re both going to die.”

“Alas, I was of two natures,” said the scorpion. “One said to gratefully ride your back across the river, and the other said to sting you where you stood. And so both fought, and neither won.” It smiled wistfully. “Ah, it would be nice to be just one thing, wouldn’t it? Unadulterated in nature. Without the capacity for conflict or regret.”

___

“By the way,” said the frog, as they swam, “I’ve been meaning to ask: What’s on the other side of the river?”

“It’s the journey,” said the scorpion. “Not the destination.”

___

…“What’s on the other side of anything?” said the scorpion. “A new beginning.”

___

…”Another scorpion to mate with,” said the scorpion. “And more prey to kill, and more living bodies to poison, and a forthcoming lineage of cruelties that you will be culpable in.”

___

…”Nothing we will live to see, I fear,” said the scorpion. “Already the currents are growing stronger, and the river seems like it shall swallow us both. We surge forward, and the shoreline recedes. But does that mean our striving was in vain?”

___

“I love you,” said the scorpion.

The frog glanced upward. “Do you?”

“Absolutely. Can you imagine the fear of drowning? Of course not. You’re a frog. Might as well be scared of breathing air. And yet here I am, clinging to your back, as the waters rage around us. Isn’t that love? Isn’t that trust? Isn’t that necessity? I could not kill you without killing myself. Are we not inseparable in this?”

The frog swam on, the both of them silent.

___

“I’m so tired,” murmured the frog eventually. “How much further to the other side? I don’t know how long we’ve been swimming. I’ve been treading water. And it’s getting so very dark.”

“Shh,” the scorpion said. “Don’t be afraid.”

The frog’s legs kicked out weakly. “How long has it been? We’re lost. We’re lost! We’re doomed to be cast about the waters forever. There is no land. There’s nothing on the other side, don’t you see!”

“Shh, shh,” said the scorpion. “My venom is a hallucinogenic. Beneath its surface, the river is endlessly deep, its currents carrying many things.” 

“You - You’ve killed us both,” said the frog, and began to laugh deliriously. “Is this - is this what it’s like to drown?” 

“We’ve killed each other,” said the scorpion soothingly. “My venom in my glands now pulsing through your veins, the waters of your birthing pool suffusing my lungs. We are engulfing each other now, drowning in each other. I am breathless. Do you feel it? Do you feel my sting pierced through your heart?”

“What a foolish thing to do,” murmured the frog. “No logic. No logic to it at all.”

“We couldn’t help it,” whispered the scorpion. “It’s our natures. Why else does anything in the world happen? Because we were made for this from birth, darling, every moment inexplicable and inevitable. What a crazy thing it is to fall in love, and yet - It’s all our fault! We are both blameless. We’re together now, darling. It couldn’t have happened any other way.”

___

“It’s funny,” said the frog. “I can’t say that I trust you, really. Or that I even think very much of you and that nasty little stinger of yours to begin with. But I’m doing this for you regardless. It’s strange, isn’t it? It’s strange. Why would I do this? I want to help you, want to go out of my way to help you. I let you climb right onto my back! Now, whyever would I go and do a foolish thing like that?”

___

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. “Do I look like a fool?” said the frog. “You’d sting me if I let you on my back!”

“Be logical,” said the scorpion. “If I stung you I’d certainly drown myself.”  

“That’s true,” the frog acknowledged. “Come aboard, then!” But no sooner had the scorpion mounted the frog’s back than it began to sting, repeatedly, while still safely on the river’s bank.

The frog groaned, thrashing weakly as the venom coursed through its veins, beginning to liquefy its flesh. “Ah,” it muttered. “For some reason I never considered this possibility.”

“Because you were never scared of me,” the scorpion whispered in its ear. “You were never scared of dying. In a past life you wore a shell and sat in judgement. And then you were reborn: soft-skinned, swift, unburdened, as new and vulnerable as a child, moving anew through a world of children. How could anyone ever be cruel, you thought, seeing the precariousness of it all?” The scorpion bowed its head and drank. “How could anyone kill you without killing themselves?”

been ideating. bird cage symbolism……..

Hypothetically speaking. ‘ if someone wanted to start drawing at a teen age do you think she or he would as good as the people who worked their whole lives’

I don’t think people fully realise that “teen age” is, how do I put it, Young As Heck? 😭 I understand (and remember) that living for like 12-18 years feels like A LOT, but in a grander scale of things it really isn’t. 25 is young. 33 is young.  So If you do start at a teenage age, you have SO many more years ahead of you, I wouldn’t really be worried about not drawing since you were, say, 5.  It helps, yeah, but it shouldn’t stop you from starting something! No age is too old to start Anything you’re interested in!  Life is (ideally) quite long. There shouldn’t be a certain age you pass and think that, no, I am already too old to start learning that, you aren’t! Life is for learning new things, regardless of ones age^^ And also, there Always will be people better than you at something. There are plenty of 16 year olds with much larger potential and art predisposition than me. Already, so much better than me even if *technically* I had like a 10 year old early start compared to them. There are plenty people my age that aren’t as experienced at art as me. Regardless of your age, it will always go both ways. You will always be better than someone at something you do, and worse than someone else, just because...there are just so many people and it’s just how it works. So I don’t think that comparing yourself (with no experience in drawing) to someone who has been drawing for a long time (and most likely started as inexperienced as you) would be a very healthy approach.  I’d definitely say don’t let your age stop you. Whatever it is. It’s never too late to start something and I Sincerely Mean It. 

I want to finish revising my WIP, I want to fall into my new short story for the weekend and only emerge once it’s done, and I also want to get started on a new novel that I’m obsessed with. Instead of doing ANY of these things, I have too many options and am just scrolling endlessly instead

Thank you so much! 💕💕

I just really love this Idea

I think it could take place after she turned back into a duck and one day suddenly gets transported into Twst as a girl again and she‘s just super confused 😂 But I think she’d still have that whole "Quacks-and-turns-back-into-a-Duck“-Thing going on. And she also gets a new pendant. Where it came from? No one knows. 🤫

Maybe Drosselmeyer had something to do with it and wanted some more drama with Princess tutu. He is able to live in a realm between life and death, to control fantasy and reality as he pleases. I‘m sure crossing worlds would not be that hard for him. For him it would maybe seem like reading another book once he finishes the other?

Crossover Idea!

Ahiru from Princess Tutu gets transported into Twisted Wonderland as Mc/Yuu!

I‘ve Seen some Posts on Tumblr and Reddit Talking about this Idea, so I sat down and drew it :)

I just think she‘s sooooo adorable 🥰🥰

And yes, of course her best subject is Animal Language, she‘s a duck and can just casually Talk with animals without magic, haha.

Her unique Magic being Princess Tutu is just that Idea, that she turns into Princess Tutu when Overblots Happen to dance communicate with them and get them out of it.

Maybe I‘ll draw that too, but in the Princess Tutu Style, because the Twst Style is so darn detailed 🥲

I’m not the only one freaking out because of golden legacy, right? “REIMAGINED LEGASY”, HUH?? DONT LIE, ITS LITERALLY TMNT2012 SEASON 5
