I've been lurking around your Tumblr for a while now and absolutely love your style! It's simple but effective, and I love how you draw Paisley and Rex together

I wanted to drop this pose-referencing site that I think you'll like

PoseMy.Art

You can play around with some preset pose references and edit them to your liking, it's great if you want to practice more dynamic poses

Trying to help a fellow artist out, stay cool dude :)

It's Triumphant Thursday, and Something Wicked instantly popped up in my mind, goodness, I'm so fond of that disaster duo it's incredible.

Whenever I see an excerpt (or word find tag games) cross my dash, I'm either grinning altogether too widely or sighing at Caz's antics and Jade's reactions, they're a golden duo and I'm very, very grateful I've come across your wip. It's a lot of chaotic fun, and the whole concept is just brilliant

Oh my god, thank you so much for this!

To be honest, my day kind of sucked, so seeing this pop up in my asks was just really, really great to see.

Also, just in general you're a really sweet person, and I love seeing your tags when I post SW things. Also, also, Aquiver Aglow is just such an interesting concept and I can't wait to see more.

So yeah, thank you so much, and I'm so glad just a glimpse of my disaster pair can register some joy.

oo 24, 62, and 99 for the ask game!

omg thank you for indulging me leggooo

24. “Can’t Fight this Feeling” by REO Speedwagon

Omg i’m SO excited you picked this number. This is canonically a Christeve song. I have a long way to go before I reach this point, but Steve uses this song to ask Chrissy to go to prom with him. He gets Dustin to help him wire up some speakers to his car and parks in front of Chrissy’s house before she wakes up. Her dad has to drag her outside because the neighbors are complaining and she has no idea what’s going on. ❤︎

I can’t fight this feeling any longer And yet I’m still afraid to let it flow What started out as friendship has grown stronger I only wish I had the strength to let it show

62. “Lose Yourself” by Eminem

This is another song that always reminds me of Kat. I have it on her iPod playlist as one of the outliers in her usual repertoire of 90′s girl rock. I just always imagine it as one of her hype songs when she’s working out, trying to push herself. And she’ll deny it unless she’s tipsy, but she can rap the whole thing.

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

99. “Run Boy Run” by Woodkid

Okay, again, this one’s a toughie because it’s hard for me to divorce it from The Umbrella Academy. But if you really put me to it, I think the best fit would be for Ace from “Flesh and Blood,” the 6 Underground story I never got off the ground. She’s really the only looking to make another world from a place removed from society. And of course, wanted by several government officials and armed bad guys.

Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you Run boy run! They're dying to stop you Run boy run! This race is a prophecy Run boy run! Break out from society

Send me a number 1-100 and I’ll reveal a song from my Spotify Wrapped and which of my OC’s it reminds me of!

I was wondering if you could explain your interpretation of what the difference between bi coding is and gay coding is when it comes to media? If not that’s okay, I love your fanfics and hope you’re having a lovely evening. :)

This is a really good question and definitely one that isn’t talked about or even acknowledged. With that said, I’m going to admit my fault in missing some things that people interpret as bi coding because I’m looking for my own kind of representation as a mlm, in any capacity, and typically put that under the umbrella term Gay which isn’t always great or helpful. But anyway, that’s enough throat clearing. Let’s us go and uhhh dig in:

I’m gonna use Mike as an example, if that’s alright, because I definitely think there is bi coding going on there whether or not that’s what’s going to happen. I think it’s bi coding [rather than gay coding with a side of “but he’s dating a girl now!”] is because of purpose and intent of those interactions. And without being too cut and dry about it, I think that’s what separates coding any kind of sexuality (or even foreshadowing relationship): the intent of interactions. Like, I think Mike’s bi coded because the moments he has with El-- those really powerful moments of silence and touch, kissing very rarely but at moments when you can tell the characters as children would definitely feel super heightened emotions and want to-- that are very real and very well written. But also, in a different way, he has those with Will too! He has moments of silence and touch, but in a way that isn’t a carbon copy of his relationship with a girl. His intent is the same to me; he loves (however you take that) these two people and has the capacity to care about them very deeply and, by his actions, wants to!

I think what gets a lot of people who see Will being coded as gay from the actions of Mike are because Mike’s actions have the same intensity that they have with El, if that makes sense. From a “Will is gay” perspective, Mike is holding his hand, going to his house without anyone else to check up on him, holding his shoulders, staying with him, crying at the thoughts of losing him (many times) etc and that is very pointed for Will’s world because that is unseen anywhere else and goes interestingly with the background commentary about Will (”fairy”, Lonnie’s comments, etc) so we read that as gay-- and sometimes accidentally fold Mike into that category too. But those “gay coded” interactions with Will are held so high and bring so much debate and excitement is because we have seen Mike do them before-- with a girl! The intent and intensity is the same for both his female and male relationships so one does not negate the other. So beyond Mike and in general interp, for me, if I see a character that has very similar interactions/intentions/reactions/emotional arcs with characters of different genders I see that as bi coding rather than gay coding.

So. Not to talk in circles too much because this is such an interesting question and I’m trying to be as intelligent as possible even though I’m mostly screaming that you have such a good eye to even ask this-- Intent is important but so is comparison, I guess? We are able to see Mike having multiple avenues for romantic love because there is more than one person in his life that causes those feelings. Since we don’t have those words coming from him, we have to  read between the lines. But also I don’t want that to seem like he has to show interest in both to be considered bi-- because that’s problematic and wrong-- it’s just in this instance, because the language and openness isn’t there in 1983-85, for Mike that’s how we are going to see it and understand it.

I feel like that was such a non-answer, but I tried to compress my thoughts and not kill your dashes. But this was really great to think about-- I’m gonna keep thinking! Thank you!!!! ily
