Hi everyone it's another comm info update brought to you by the inexorable passage of time. Rather incredibly belated compared to bsky where I'm generally hanging out these days, but my energy for art has been super low, so I'm dialing back for something that hopefully hits that sweet spot of affordable and more consistently deliverable in quality okay thanks byeeee
nosferatu? no. tuferatu. no es mi problema.

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam.
SLEEPING BEAUTY 1959, dir. Clyde Geronimi, Eric Larson, Wolfgang Reitherman, Les Clark
So many people never learned to live with harmless discomfort at any point in their lives and holy fuck does it show
“But I wanna know!” You’re gonna have to learn to be ok with not knowing some things, especially when those things involve personal details about strangers that they’re not comfortable sharing.
“But it’s confusing!” If you take the time to educate yourself it’ll no longer be confusing. Otherwise you’re just gonna have to learn to be ok with being confused.
“But it’s weird!” You probably do weird things all the time. Everyone does weird things sometimes. Life goes on.
“But it scares me!” Is it hurting you? No? You’ll be fine. Being scared and being harmed are not always the same thing. Learn to tell the difference and then act accordingly.
“But I want it!” And I want a million dollars. You can’t always get what you want.
Addendum:
"But it makes me uncomfortable!" The world is an uncomfortable place and complete strangers are not required to fix that for you. Learning to endure harmless discomfort is a life skill for existing in public.
"But I don't like it!" There's plenty of things in the world and not all of them are fun or enjoyable or For You. This applies to everyone and we all have to deal with that in a mature fashion.
"But I want to do the thing!" You can't always do what you want. Most people learn this in preschool. Wanting something does not entitle you to be inconsiderate to the people around you.
I often wonder what happened to authors of unfinished fanfictions.
I hope they’re having a nice life
we absolutely are not and that unfinished fic haunts us to this day
Reblog if that unfinished fic haunts you to this day
not everything in a story has to or should be "realistic" but in my opinion there's a level of illusion that should be maintained, and I think that's the actual problem that many people try to pinpoint with the "unrealistic" criticism. Dialogue shouldn't be written like an actual transcript of human speech, but should contribute to the illusion of a real person speaking. A character is a tool of the story, not a narrative, but we're trying to maintain the illusion that they are a person. Worldbuilding should exist to serve the story, not to be a perfect simulacrum of how every aspect of nature/society etc. would actually play out for real. But there should be the illusion that it could be real, that organizations and systems would operate in such a way, that people might behave in such a way.
in conclusion: "Is this realistic?" <<wrong question. "Does this serve the illusion or disrupt it?" <<now we're talking
fuck it. baby xehanort
do i write because i love words or because it’s the only way i know how to safely unspool my longing without setting anything on fire. unclear.
"girl dinner" "boy kibble" can y'all just eat a meal gender neutrally

The Poly Ship of the Day is:
Sora x Riku x Kairi from Kingdom Hearts
ngl, "don't normalize x" discourse is going a little too far sometimes. like, i'm not sure some of those things CAN be normalized. what'll happen if we "normalize selfcest"? will people start hooking up with their clones? opening portals to another dimension to fuck their au!selves? i just don't think we're capable of normalizing this. on a practical level.
a while ago i saw someone say "let's not normalize huge age gaps ://" and the ship in question was between two immortals who were respectively hundreds of years old, and thousands of years old. friend, i don't think we can normalize this particular one. this is so far removed from anything that can conceivably happen between actual human people, i think you can let it slide just this once.
we must try to find some small joy in this life because it is actually all we have
99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

for christmas we're deleting the entire show. tally ho you teaboo shits
Shit I just remembered a really embarrassing thing that happened nine years ago involving people I will never meet again and now my evening is ruined
I really love ancient history and evolutionary biology, and KH taking place in a reality that’s literally shattered is so interesting and I’d love to see it explored more. Like it’s nothing you’d notice growing up in a tiny microcosm, that’s how it’s always been, but once you’ve been on the outside, you start to see the cracks. Like how does Sora know what snow is before going to Mulan’s world, or have a concept of Christmas but not Christianity? Why does Wakka have an accent, or Yuffie have her proud ninja heritage, if humans had always existed these tiny, single biomed worlds, completely separate from each other? It’s because they didn’t, and leftovers from that original, unified world are still alive in the people of the KH verse.
(It’s also a fictional universe where the laws of evolution don’t apply. Shit exists like that because Nomura said so, and because the ff characters actually did originate in stories with normal planets and diverse environments. But it’s fun to think about!)
Imagine scientists in Radiant garden trying to figure out the origins of human life and culture, but they can’t. It’s like it just appeared. Imagine things like music and fashion trends just sort of leaking through somehow, as even ripped apart, the pieces of the universe still try to pull themselves back together. Your favorite song is just there one day, no artist in existence to have created it because they live in another reality. The worlds with humans are more similar than they are different, which wouldn’t be the case had they developed separately.
Obviously I don’t expect a deep dive on the weirdness of living in a broken universe, but it would be fun if the characters ever pointed it out.
characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."
