oh yeah I should update my tumblr buddies huh...

so you may have noticed my extreme quiet lately- I have been getting a lot of doc's appointments finally done.

For six years now, we've had reason to believe that I had a brain tumor bad enough to cause some pretty problematic shit. BUT. tHANK GOD, I finally got a doc to take me seriously and give me an MRI, and I'm all clean! My brain is perfectly [physically] healthy! It took a huge weight off my shoulders that'd been growing since 2019, and I've been a little high on life for a while and taking a break from all my social medias. It's been very, very good for my mental health. I feel lighter, and I've been able to take more time to go outside and /do/ things.

But yeah, very much not dead, just living' life peacefully for a lil while in the afterglow of being told my head is tumor-less lmao

GT Thought of the Day

Two characters, one big one small [or shifters], that start out incredibly untrusting and anxious of each other's intentions and pasts. But then over time, despite each of their flaws, they show that deep down they are both good people that want to care and trust for someone.

They start showing little bits of this through tiny gestures.

The giant respecting that the tiny has anxieties about being picked up without warning. The Tiny noticing the nervous way the giant looks at them, and how they lower their voice when speaking to avoid scaring them or seeming overpowering. The tiny then, against their better judgement, giving them a gentle touch to their retracted hand for the first time. The tiny falling asleep near the giant for the first time ever, despite their powerful anxiety about being vulnerable. The giant [shifter] expending all their energy in protecting the tiny, and then collapsing, exhausted and shrunken down, trusting the tiny with them in their most powerless state. The tiny going out of their way to hang out with the giant for no reason. The slow disappearance of the tiny's jumps and flinches whenever the giant steps or sits down near them, or when they laugh a little 'too' loudly. They start to laugh along with them.

All the little things add up... and one day when they're sitting side by side, or with one in hand... or perhaps after some life-threatening event where they saved each other and are beaten up, but alive because of the other... they can't imagine why they ever distrusted each other.

In answer to your trope question, closest i could find was a combination of Proper Lady + Fish out of Water + Determinator. Couldn’t find one that encompasses all of them but hope it helps.

Turned out that this was definitely the combo of tropes, and the character I was thinking about was Rarity from MLP! I know there's another obvious one out there but I'll probably come across it by accident in like 5 years lmao

So, pretty rough news.

32 years of never breaking a bone has been, well, broken. Fell while out in the dark last night and sprained AND broke my right ankle last night. I'll be bedridden for the next 2ish months. It hurts like a BITCH when pain meds aren't in effect, and I have yet to find out if it needs surgery. Left knee got fucked up to, so I'm trying to function with BOTH legs busted up.

Just thought I'd update y'all.

I've got a wonderful girlfriend and some friends taking care of me, so I'll be okay, but man. What a mortifying ordeal to experience for the first time. Can't even put my pants on without a 3-minute long quick time event.

If you guys can spare anything, my wallet is gonna take a hit from the medical equipment I need to heal, and the more frequent food I'm gonna have to order. I'm the main cook in the house. My ko-fi is here, but don't feel pressured to give anything.

Fandom Theory crafting shouldn't be about 'being right' it should be about having fun.

Hey everyone! Been kinda quiet here, but that's mostly cuz I've been hard at work on my other account makin' end's meet.~ Experimenting a lot with pixel art, finding my new art style and having a lot of fun with that, it's been quite a journey these past few months since I broke my ankle.

Hope y'all are hanging in there okay. I know things have been absolutely insane for a long time now, but just. Keep moving forward, okay? I know it's so hard but man. Even if you gotta drag yourself along the path, you gotta keep moving. Rest now and then, but don't ever quit, okay?

There's at least one person here that wants to see you get to the light. Gotta hope for things to get better. Take one day at a time, live in the 'now,' and try and do something nice for yourself this fall, okay?

I'll be making some money to possibly go to a con in the fall, and so I can try and take november off of work so I can work on my marriage proposal for my gf. <3

AND as a little Harvester addendum- this is a reminder that we'll be reusing last year's THInktober list for October! :3

Also, hope you guys are doin' okay too. We're hard at work planning the rewrite, and it's been going steadily.~ The story has transformed and refined SO much, and we're both excited to start writing it again once life eases up on us a bit. We know it's been real quiet, so we wanted to ask... Even if it's spoilers sometimes, would you guys like to see development art we make of TH? Or would everyone prefer we keep the spoiler art to ourselves until it's relevant? Let us know in the replies or tags!

It sucks that us humans were blessed with entire universes inside of us, but cursed with the world's tiniest spigot to leak that universe though

and you can never expel enough of it.

Just gotta come to peace with the strands of universe I do get to weave.
