hi! social media app here. we were just noticing, you’ve turned off some of the settings that would normally allow us to intrude into your life even more than we already do. obviously you didn’t mean that, right? here’s a handy button to turn all those settings on for you. oh, you don’t want to press the button right now? that’s okay, we’ll ask you again every other week for the rest of your life, just in case you finally come to the realisation that you actually want notifications about nothing sent everywhere all the time.
bringing an actor back for the finale of a tv show they havent been on in years is so funny. imagine if they made you go back to the starbucks you worked at in high school to make one last latte because theyre blowing up the building tomorrow.
My year of the rabbit illustration. Enjoyed working with this color palette so much. I’m planning to make one of these for every year. Wish me luck lol.
i love u mushishi i love u natsume yuujinchou i love u stories about how anything alien can transform into something you can care for and love if only you extend a little compassion i love u characters that have suffered from ostracisation and alienation themselves and so dedicate their lives to making sure those around them never feel that way
do you think arthur accidentally asks for two tickets when he and john finally go to see their movie?
“two tickets for—oh. um, just one, actually. sorry—” it’s almost too natural, really, for him to view john as another person, rather than a voice in his head.
arthur buys a box of popcorn, too. he isn’t sure why, he doesn’t care for it that much and, truthfully, john’s a touch bothered whenever arthur eats anything—but “arthur, its the theater, it’s part of the experience—”
john did his best to describe the movie, the gaps in his explanation supplemented by the snatches of dialogue and audio effects arthur could make out, but twenty minutes in and the voice in his head had fallen silent, totally enamored with the film.
arthur didn’t remind john that he couldn’t see it, not even afterwards, as they left the nostalgic darkness of the theater behind them and john is chattering excitedly about the plot twist, and the fight scene and the characters and epilogue and—
even now, in a fleeting moment of peace, john is learning what it means to be human, learning of the easy escapism arthur had once found so appealing.
I know people like to frame Jon as being flustered and blushy and getting a huge crush on Martin when he sees Martin without his trousers in season 1, but tbh the utter lack of reaction in that scene is my absolute favorite Ace Jon Moment
He’s just like “good lord, going around without clothes is unprofessional!” and then…proceeds to have a full conversation with him, completely unaffected. Sir you are going to fall wildly in love with that man, but physical attraction? Never heard of it.

I’ve read/ am reading fic that are upwards to 150,000 - 200,000. You’re telling me that authors that write for fun are writing a full-length book for the fun of it? They have earned my respect 10 fold.
A friendly reminder.
Adding on to this by reminding everyone to leave feedback on fics. Seriously, y’all, fic writers put their heart, soul, blood, sweat, tears, and time into their writing. The least that you could do is let them know you enjoyed their works.
Just. WOW.
WAIT WHAT?! You’re telling me my fanfic is almost a novel?!
59,779 words… OMG…
It’s a novel. NaNoWriMo has a 50,000 word requirement. Congratulations on your novel
Sometimes you read a fic where the author is clearly and intentionally writing dead dove content like:
These garbage boys are going to torture and gaslight each other until they’re inextricably intertwined 😈 they are going to make each other the most fucked-up and worst versions of themselves 🔪 they will be so codependent and broken they will never be able to be with anyone else after ☠️
And, like, this is probably written by a pretty normal, well-adjusted person. Genuinely. The dove is dead but the author knows that the dove is dead because they killed the dove. On purpose. Gleefully. They were like “wouldn’t it be fucked up if…” and then wrote the if.
But then sometimes you read a fic where the author is like:
uwu these soft boys are soooo cute and in love 🥰 they’re so sweet and pure and good 💕 I just want them to be cutesy-wutesy and in lurveeee forever 😍 this is my new fic about soft boys being soft 💋 this is the height of romance 😘
And then the fic is. Not. The relationship is THE must fucked up, manipulative, passive-aggressive shit show where both characters are being awful to each other, but in the most socially-acceptable heteronormative way where you could 100% picture a friend of a friend telling you this bizarre story at a party while you’re sitting there like wow 😬 straight people are wild who acts like that?
I don’t read fics like that often, but whenever I do I’m always like………………. 👀 you good? You doing okay? You seem to think this kind of behavior is, uh. Normal. And, uh, romantic? But these characters certainly seem to hate each other. Not in the narrative, in the narrative they’re super in love somehow but uhhh. Um. You good?
There is such a chasm between people writing something fucked up on purpose vs someone writing something fucked up on accident. And the latter is where things are not tagged properly, and they’re infinitely more disturbing imo.
Please please please reblog this and put in the tags your music recommendations. I’m not talking about big artists and bands either— what’s a niche group, band, or artist that you can’t get enough of? What song or album do you enjoy the most? Why?
So I looked up UK prison uniforms, as although I do enjoy fanart of Elias in an orange jumpsuit, I had a suspicion that that might just be a US thing. In fact the standard UK uniform is grey sweats and/or a light blue t-shirt, but one of the privileges that can be earned for good behavior is getting to wear one's own clothes (as long as they pass inspection and don't, say, resemble a guard's uniform). Given that Elias has his little deal going, there is every chance he's been granted this privilege, which means it is entirely possible that he is in fact wearing a three-piece suit in jail.
(Of course, it's also entirely possible that he is enough of a drama queen to have specifically requested an orange jumpsuit just to wear during visits.)
I haven’t played Re:coded(nor have I watched the cutscenes), so wasn’t aware that the Sora in that game was a data version. As for Xion, I was thinking of her as a “Kairi looking character” but she does appeared as Sora(and Ventus, I think) a couple times so here’s a new poll with them.
in the “what happened /you died / I came back / Yeah. And I’m not going to let it happen again” lines, I genuinely can’t tell if Martin is saying that he’s not going to let Jon die again, not going to let him come back from the dead again or a secret third thing. I have never figured this out. What does it mean??
