my mom asked why i don’t read as many books as i used to and i just said it was because i read a lot of unpublished stories from independent writers online and she thinks that’s very good of me to give undiscovered authors a chance
#idk what this means or if i do this but ig i'll just hold my phone with my pinky stuck out from now on??
Good question, also no that won’t help.
shitty MS Paint 3 minutes doodle, nto entirely accurate: When you have your pinky hooked on the “bottom” edge of the phone for the extra security so it doesn’t slide out of your hand that easily, you’re wreaking damage on your hand, since the pinky is extremely askew from it’s resting position. You might have noticed that when you hold your phone like that for long time it begins to hurt, like when you are gripping a pen too tightly for example.
Green lines - the fingers are going their natural way. Red line - the pinky is way off, that’s bad.
David works for a program to give opportunities to young and bright children. You could even think of it as a camp for all talents to flourish.
The program has recently agreed to extend their hands to Zaun (due to Campbell wanting good publicity to keep the cops out of his shady investment in shimmer).
David is a counselor at Campbell Academy. (cant think of a better name lol. .) When David receives the news, he immediately goes to spread news to Zaun. Hanging posters, loud declarations and it goes as well as you expect. No one trusts this. How would they trust their children in the hands of those who scorn them for existing? He's lucky enough only to get a mean side eye or a harsh shoulder bump. No one wants to risk real responsibility for the injury to some Piltover camp fool.
It isn't until maybe weeks later of persistence he sees a spark of interest in a small boy looking at one of the posters he hanged.
David might’ve been too excited because he runs up to the small boy almost immediately. Kid’s reaction? Obviously he wasn’t gonna stay to see what a large stranger heading straight for him wanted. In hindsight it wasn’t the smartest idea.
He sees the same boy a few days later. This time he takes it slow. He gives a simple hello and apologies for last time. He gives the small boy his name and the small boy only glares at him. He turns and walks away.
Max thinks David must’ve been the weirdest guy he’s ever seen. He’s so clean and shiny and smiles too much. He’s never seen someone smile that much without wanting something out of him. Even without parents, he knew talking to strangers wasn’t a good thing.
David was consistent, he’d give him that. The fucker didn’t know when to quit or he just couldn’t take a hint he wasn’t wanted. Max watched him on rooftops, abandoned alleyways, stable crates. It was good entertainment whenever he wanted to see David almost get his ass handed to him.
“No one’s gonna take that stupid offer.”
“Kiddo!”
Max grunted at the name.
David just hummed. “It doesn't hurt to try.”
Everything hurt. It just came with living. Everyone knew that. David was an idiot for not knowing that.
“You’re an idiot.” David just laughed.
It became a routine after that. Following the man indiscreetly and David never shooed him away. Not like other people when he digged around for garbage others didn’t want.
The first time David offered him a snack, Max was suspicious to say at least.
“What the fuck is this.” He looked at the cookie neatly wrapped in plastic.
“It’s a cookie!”
“I know what a fucking cookie. Why are you giving me this?”
“Because kids like cookies. Do you not like cookies, kiddo?”
“. . . You can’t take it back.” Already tucking it in his bag.
“I wasn’t planning to.” David smiled.
“Good.”
[Events of S2 and father/son bonding despite the horrors]
David's arms found him after they were released from the cosmic jesus ascending them.
It was comfortable. Too comfortable. Max didn’t know how to feel about that. Nothing was comfortable down here. But David was warm. Too warm to be true.
“Hey. Campman”
“David.” David tried correcting.
“Campman. This camp of yours. . .” Was it safe? Was it warm like David? Would it give him a real chance despite being the gum under someone’s shoe? “Do you promise?”
“I promise.” David looks knowingly at him. Max hates it.
“. . .” He looks at David’s stretched out hand. “Max.”
“I promise, Max.” Max takes it.
~~~~~~~~~
Max's parents abandons him when he was younger and he's been living off on his own determination and occasional strangers' kindness.
He does not go with David until like months of watching him and a lot of snacks. Not right after the cookie because that's silly. Don't follow even acquaintances you don't know well because they gave you a cookie.
This is happening during the events of Arcane throughout their interactions. I think he'd go with David to their camp after the big ending battle of S2 because David was taking care of him throughout the entire ordeal making Max realize he actually does care about him. They do not participate in the actual events but the consequences of it. Why don't they escape on the blip? I genuinely don't think a city like that could have evacuated EVERYONE. Some could've never made it.
In this Max gets left behind and David stays for him. David does eventually adopts Max.
one of my friends in a discord server was talking about how they were nervous about their first scheduled acupuncture appointment. another friend offered to do a tarot reading for them. sent this picture.
I’ve read in old interviews with Milt Khal’s fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldn’t go.
Not only are they all doing the swaggle you’ll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesn’t work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes.
Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isn’t his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.
A selection of some of our fave Harvey Guillén fashion moments in 2025!
Harvey showcased a lot of new designers throughout the year, alongside his ongoing collaborations with Christian Siriano!
His Emmys fashion journey showed this in microcosm: he slayed in Bishme Cromartie to announce the Emmy nominations, in Siriano at the Creative Arts Emmys, in Harry Halim at the Primetime Emmys, and in Cucculelli Shaheen at the post-Emmys parties.
Harvey continued to highlight sheer textures in his looks and added a new twist with temporary tattoos on his arms for a couple of red carpets. He introduced pleated pieces by Homme Plissé Issey Miyake and explored new ways to show some skin with backless outfits by Siriano and Jonathan Marc Stein early in the year. He leaned into leather with a stunning photoshoot also in Jonathan Marc Stein, repped fat positivity with a Mameko Maeda Tenga X Artist sweater, and featured eco-friendly fashion with Romina Cardillo at the premiere of Companion. Plus, he revived one of his earliest fashion collabs, with Ashton Michael, at the 2025 Latine Honors.
Edit: Look below the cut for the events and designers for each look!
