If you're reading this, hi! Hello!

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs, where I gush about whichever cartoon or video game I'm currently hyperfixating on, reblog fanart and fandom memes, share my headcanons, post the silly ideas I've thought of while walking my dog, recommend fanfics I like, and talk about the fanfics that I will definitely write, eventually, bear with me.

Check out the #random musings tag for the- well- random musings I have throughout the day that I post on Tumblr because I didn't get to do so as a teenage girl so I'm doing it now.

Things I'm into:

Cartoons:

The Owl House,

Miraculous Ladybug,

the DuckTales reboot,

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,

Avatar: the Last Airbender,

Code Lyoko,

Ben 10 (haven't watched past UA),

Tangled the Series.

Video games:

NetHack and its variants,

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet,

Ace Attorney (original trilogy + Apollo Justice so far),

Super Paper Mario,

Cassette Beasts,

the Henry Stickmin collection,

Celeste,

Hollow Knight,

Stardew Valley,

Super Lesbian Animal RPG,

Celia's Stupid Rom-Hack,

Minecraft (but only singleplayer, on peaceful difficulty or in creative mode).

Other fandoms:

Pokemon Horizons - constantly a bit behind because I'm watching the Netflix dub (I know, I know),

Hearstopper - haven't watched season 3 yet, I will eventually,

Wednesday, but only through the lens of fluffy Wenclair fanfiction because I genuinely don't cope well with horror- or thriller-adjacent media,

The Wotch and El Goonish Shive webcomics,

the Back to the Future trilogy,

Ranger's Apprentice,

Percy Jackson & the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus (haven't had the chance to read past The Son of Neptune yet),

any sappy romantic comedy you could think of.

Things I'm interested in outside of fandom:

learning trivia related to the subtleties of translating a work of fiction from one language to another,

browsing through the source code of popular open-source libraries to see how they work from the inside,

cycling and skiing.

Things people have recommended to me that I've yet to get around to watching/reading/playing:

She-ra and the Princesses of Power,

anything Scott Pilgrim-related,

Hilda,

Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts (2 seasons down, 1 to go!),

Arcane,

Tales of Arcadia,

Riders of Berk,

Star vs.,

The Lion Guard,

The Princess Bride,

My Hero Academia,

Finally did some art of my first anime ever!! I love them so fucking much you have no idea they're both so stupid 💙❤️

“Being around you makes me do stupid things, and I wish it didn’t.”

“It’s okay, I do stupid things around you too, Amity.”

Happy pride everyone! 🥹🩷 Another year, another illustration to close off pride month - with Lumity being my chosen couple of the year 🙂‍↕️ the Owl House and Lumity have a special place in my heart, they bring out the softie in me damn 😭 I can’t WAIT for the graphic novel to be released this fall, I am in a Luz and Amity DROUGHT.

But in the meantime I hope this fanart makes you happy just as much as it made me happy drawing it 🥰 Prints will be available soon!

Code July 26, Day 2: Favorite Character

Aelita is my favorite character, so here’s my cosplay for her! (Please ignore my messy room in the background lol). I’m gonna be wearing this at a convention in a few week, so if you’re there and see me, feel free to say hi!!

I decided to skip around a bit for Code July bc the fic I’m writing for day one was taking too long lol😅 but hopefully I can get it posted soon!

[koobiie]

You said we could line art and color so I did. I didn't feel comfortable posting it on my own blog, but I really like how it came out so I thought I'd submit it to you

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

I became a tattoo artist at 49.

Married the love of my life at 50.

Got my Class A CDL at 59.

You've got time.

As long as you're breathing, you've got time.

There’s a quality that certain books/movies/TV shows have that leads me to say, “Yeah, I can see people making fanfiction of that.” It’s something to do, I think, with how tight the story is, how much feels open-ended or like it could be elaborated on.

Something like Breaking Bad, for example, has low squiggability (that’s what I’m calling this quality). It’s tightly written, the characters are consistent, there’s little left to interpolate or extrapolate. Obviously, people DO write fanfic of Breaking Bad, but it still has a low squiggability score. Whereas something like Supernatural has a high squiggability score. Fantasy and science fiction often have high squiggability scores. This suggests squiggability could also be related to worldbuilding and potential for people to borrow a premise or setting.

And sometimes you’ll read or watch something and you’ll say, “Ah, low squiggability,” and then you’ll open tumblr and find out that everyone else seem to think its squiggability was very high indeed.
