Here's a video of me enjoying the Golden Light filter on Snapchat if you wanna see my face

My art is tagged as "#brook kinda draws" and despite the overwhelming lack of recent evidence, I also write.

Currently, I'm taking a gap year from uni which is supposed to be filled by me taking the time to write my original story but instead I'm doing the one thing I will never have the opportunity to do after this year: goof off and do nothing. Let's see how it goes :]

My art style changes every time I draw something new but, if you're curious, the program I use is Clip Studio Paint Ex and my current favourite brush for sketching and line art is the round mixing brush. I use the G-pen for colouring. Though, if you come across some of my older art and like that style more I used the pencil to sketch and the Real G-pen for line art. They're just-- so amazing those brushes. I love them all. The textured pen is also amazing :3

My new favourite sketching brush is the charcoal brush. Line art is real G-pen or regular G-pen :]

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model. Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites. Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions. Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers. Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.” “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

what’re your favorite Connor Stoll and Sherman Yang headcanons? /np

Anon I will not lie to you, I had to kind of refresh my memory on some of my headcanons so I don't give you duplicate information. I have managed to supply what I hope is original content :] please enjoy and I am SO SORRY I didn't reply to this much sooner 😣

First a warm-up solo headcanon of each:

This took place in the same year Connor and Travis arrived at camp.

Connor didn't take the knowledge of Hermes being his deadbeat dad all too well and pretty much resented him for a long long longgg time.

The following interaction takes place during dinner:

Will stood next to Connor and watched him pull out a bag of peanut M&Ms from his pocket and throw it into the fire."

Will: "Why do you always have peanut m&ms with you? I thought you hated peanuts?"

Connor frowned and said, "I don't hate them exactly. But I'm allergic to peanuts."

Will gave him a strange look. That just made this even more strange.

Connor smiled and added, "I'm hoping it's hereditary," before simply walking back to his seat.

Sherman has harboured a similar hatred towards his father but he's got a more I-hate-you-but-I-respect you attitude than Connor has so he never does anything, like, sacrilegious or anything.

But after book 5 when Clarisse starts telling her siblings about the blessing of Ares and how awesome it felt to be near invincible and Sherman scoffs and mutters something about Ares not having any real power

That was the first time Sherman had said anything bad about Ares and it turns out he didn't say it as quietly as he thought because everyone in the cabin turned to him

Not with anger, though Clarisse must have been angry

But with fear because Ares didn't let insults go unchallenged, even when it was his own child dishing them

Especially then, actually.

To their surprise, Ares didn't barge into the room, but Sherman did get a surprise visit from Ares in his dreams (which was not very pleasant and ended up with him waking in a cold sweat)

From then on Sherman kept his mouth shut when it came to his father but sometimes be and Connor would speak in code and just talk shit about their parents without accidentally attracting their attention

Now for couple headcanons!

They have loud impassioned arguments all the time and whenever it happens everyone in the vicinity gets extremely worried about their relationship and asks if they're both okay.

Like, they'd be yelling at each other, so loudly that all you hear is the volume, not the words

And someone will come over all concerned and ask if they're okay

And they'd just look at them and laugh or reassure them that everything's fine and that they were just discussing which Pokemon would win in a fight or if the dress was blue or white or something stupid and pointless like that

They just enjoy the thrill of having an argument but they don't ever really have much to argue about and they don't want to make it too serious.

Their siblings learned to tune it out though

Connor accompanies Sherman to visit his mom in prison one day

(if you didn't see that post, Sherman's mom took the blame for killing Sherman's step-dad)

Sherman was extremely worried she wouldn't approve of their relationship

She loves Connor though and couldn't be happier that Sherman has someone he can rely on :]

I'm so sorry Anon, I really wanted to write more but it's 4 in the morning and my brain is mush 🫠 I hope this satisfies you for now though 🩷 thank you so much for your ask and sorry again that I took so long to respond 💔

What do you think Sherman and Connor would do for Valentine's day? 👀 I don't think they'd celebrate it as.. obviously as the other campers, but do you think in the future they would do anything for the other on Valentine's day?

Oh absolutely! I believe a while ago I said something about them not using "traditional" pet names and how they trash talk each other in public, but they are actually very sweet with each other in private and also in public but in less observable ways.

Like, for instance, when Sherman realises that Connor is getting angry or emotional for whatever reason, he'll hold his hand under the table where no one will notice or if that's not an option he'll make a joke to break the tension or draw attention to himself so Connor has a minute to compose himself.

Despite the stereotype of Ares kids being brutes Sherman is very respectful and polite and Connor will come for anyone who dares to make assumptions about Sherman before they even get to know him.

Just some random acts of kindness, ya know 😄

But back on topic! Yes, they do indeed do cute couple things on Valentine's Day. Besides buying a warehouse-full of Sherman's favourite candy, Connor also smuggled in a PlayStation and a copy of God of War 1 so Sherman could kill Ares for all the shit he's done >:]

And Sherman took Connor to an escape room. I know it sounds random but Connor had told Sherman that he'd always wanted to go to one so he could rage bait the employees because he wouldn't have to look for any clues, he could just intuitively pick the locks and finish the game 0.2 seconds. And they're supposed to watch you on camera so you don't catch on nonsense, so they would just be looking at him, wondering how he has managed to accurately guess the combination for every lock without solving any clues.

They both found that idea hilarious XD

I AM SO SORRY I DIDN'T REPLY TO THIS!! I checked my ask box for the first time in a while and saw so many asks I just forgot about 😭😭 I've been on a bit of a Connor x Sherman hiatus and I just moved on and didn't realise I had commitments🥲 hence my username. I found the first half of this reply in my notes app and I just added onto it :]

I'm so sorry anon but saved my reply as a draft and I just knew this bitch of an app wouldn't save it but I did it anyway and then it fricking didn't save so your original ask has been lost forever 🫩 I hope this finds you 🙏🏼

ANSWER:

I am of the opinion that most year-rounders haven't had the chance to become homophobic if they got to camp young enough. Hatred is taught methinks. So, that being said, the usual crowd probably won't have any opinion on the *gayness* of the relationship so much as the *person* the other is dating.

So let's get into that!

Ares

Let's start with the Ares cabin! The setup for this relationship has been coming on for a while, since they were like 14. So the officialness of it probably wasn't all that surprising. But that doesn't mean the process wasn't excruciating to watch and Connor was still a semi-public enemy because even though Connor and Sherman were cool, cabin 5 was still mostly prankable territory >:3

In my own personal universe, Connor doesn't fear things that should totally be feared and would be perfectly reasonable to fear.

Dating Sherman does grant him some protection but his siblings made it clear Connor isn't welcome anywhere near their cabin.

Hermes

Similarly with the Ares cabin, the Hermes cabin has been watching this relationship grow from the ground up and everyone had pretty much made their peace with it even before Connor and Sherman even realised they liked each other.

Sherman didn't really get on anyone's bad side in the Hermes cabin since becoming friends with Connor. And, it may surprise you to know, Connor is the more hot headed one in the relationship so if anyone had said or done something unkind towards Sherman he would have dealt with it himself :]

Please see the following evidence:
