Heated Rivalry / Bastille - Another Place **flash warning**

[dragon-in-a-fez]

hey sorry I walked out of the important science meeting without saying anything. I suddenly realised my tragic backstory was thematically relevant and I could find the solution to all our problems by using it as a metaphor. yeah I guess I knew it was coming, I suspected I might be the main character when I noticed I was the only one here who has multiple PhDs with no explanation of why I never moved on to a postdoc. anyway have you seen my laptop with the worst UI

just witnessed something devastating

guy on the subway with one ear pierced, little gold hoop. other guy on the subway very quickly and subtly googling "which one is the gay ear". it is not the gay ear. visible disappointment on his face as he puts his phone away.

god. I'm so anxious about the next chapter of my longfic bc it's kind of the culmination of... everything... and I feel like I'm perpetually stuck in the "is this anything" phase with my writing just in general. so I'm putting this out into the universe bc I think it's decent

Is it socially acceptable to use opaque watercolors, or is that considered gouache?

That ‘comment on your a03 work’ email hits like a line of cocaine every time. unmatched dopamine increase. shoutout to everyone who leaves a comment on fics. you deserve the world

It's wild to watch the phrase "tumblr sexyman" morph into "man that tumblr thinks is sexy," because when I first saw the phrase come into use, I always saw it used in reference to the phenomenon of "when presented with a wide array of fictional characters, tumblr will always pick the skinny white man to obsess over, and if the fan-favorite character has no canonical human appearance, the fandom will inevitably create a popular fanon of the character as as a skinny white man."

When I hear "tumblr sexyman," I think of Cecil Night Vale being constantly depicted as a skinny white man instead of literally anything else. I think of the background character white men who get elevated over protagonists that are women, people of color, or otherwise not the white man power fantasy.

"Tumblr sexyman" is, like. An insult. I DON'T want any of my blorbos to win a "tumblr sexyman" poll. "Tumblr sexyman" is the exact opposite of what I want my own OCs to be. If any of my characters ever get called "tumblr sexyman," I will have to immediately re-evaluate myself and the art I'm making.

was just explaining one of my fics with a friend and described it as "half porn, half character study, all coffin dry humping" and if that ain't how I would describe all of my fics then I don't know what does
