[trival-obsession]

I should make a proper intro like blog post but I don’t really know how to do that rn so like—

Im gender fluid and aromantic and im an adult. This is a side blog because I hate having my different interests overlapping so I only talk the long walk here. Love book and movie, favorite character changes a bunch but I like Olson usually. Sometimes I post art

People are cool, I’m down to chat but am a notorious ghoster (sorry), im kinda new to actually interacting in fandom spaces so please be nice.

Oh and you can call me Ty

Some attempt at a webweave for the fifth day of the Hank appreciation week^^

I felt so unwell about him when I made this, especially while going through his later passages in the book again ( which also made me want to re read again even more, but that's besides the point here) but. There's something so jarring to me about the way he begins to struggle pretty early in the book, even if the catatonic state only really sets at a later point.

On another note- I'm kinda sad that they mostly got rid of the religious aspect of his character in the movie ( Not only because I think it was quite interesting, but also because something about it made " God's garden is full of weeds" even more haunting to me </3

Anyway, I'm actually pretty content with how this turned out, so.

Hope y'all like it^^

For Indigenous History Month I've decided to try & have a Collie Parker Appreciation Week, because I love my guy and he deserves it💖 The AO3 collection for the event is here and we'll also be using the hashtag #CollieParkerAppreciationWeek on tumblr (and for folks who're on twitter feel free to use it there too! I don't personally use twitter but this doesn't have to be a tumblr only event) Also- as the rules in the AO3 collection specify- any Collie ships you might want to include are fine but your work MUST center Collie and in the case of fics be in his pov. There are a lot of fics in Collie's tag that actually just center white characters he's being shipped with while treating Collie as a prop, which is racist under any circumstances but would be especially inappropriate in an event meant to uplift a Lakota-Sioux character for Indigenous History Month, so please just be mindful and ensure your works are actually focusing on Collie💖 Please spread the word about this event, I would absolutely love to see as much of the fandom taking part as possible :)

can’t stop thinking abt ragebaiter x ragebaited BarkOlson

Olson who messes and teases Barkovitch coz it’s so goddamn easy and he falls for it everytime. Barkovitch who hates it and takes it as a challenge to try and rile up Hank as revenge, but Hanks quick on his feet and manages to throw Barko off his game and have the last laugh

Barko who’s getting pissed instead of Hank and Hank can’t stop laughing about it. That doesn’t stop Gary from trying

and in Gary’s journey to find ways to annoy Hank does he begin to have genuine fun with it. Missed attempts to ragebait Olson instead make him laugh instead and so now Gary is laughing because yeah, okay sure it is a bit ridiculous… he guesses.

Barko who does successfully ragebait Hank so now Gary is laughing whilst Hank is pissed. Gary who gets to tease Hank back and Hank tries to brush it off but goddamn is Barkovitch annoying. But Barkovitch is finally smiling which kind makes it worth it…

Hank ragebaiting Gary who’s mad as shit but as soon as Hank coos at him or gives him a kiss Gary suddenly feels like forgiving him

BarkOlson who’s love language is ragebaiting eachother and who love to see eachother laugh and smile… extra bonus points if it’s over dumb shit

do we think hank was lucid enough to feel relief when he fell to his knees for the last time, even a little bit?

[trival-obsession]

Big believer that he lost all feeling in his limbs actually. Too far out of his body to receive any thoughts, he was going on auto pilot towards the end.

HOAppreciationWeek Day 1: Rarin’ to Rip

Oh Hank Olson you deserved the world and so much more </3

You can see where I kinda slowed down with these, but I think I captured what I wanted to convey

Rewatched The Long Walk last week and realised I never did any art for it back when it came out in September 😫 so I locked in and over the last week got drawing ✌️😌

No one asked for this except me as I am still very fond of the film

Been meaning to make a lil post like this for a long while since there's a really pervasive problem throughout this fandom with whitewashing/lightening the skintones of our poc characters- this is especially prevalent with Hank, who is so rarely drawn with an accurate skintone- but all 4 of them have been drawn with much lighter skin at some point of another, so I've used the color picking tool to make a lil handy dandy reference sheet :) I think some amount of all the lightening/whitewashing has been unintentional: the color-grading in the movie is often very cold/gray and washes the poc boys out, so if you use screencaps from those scenes as a reference you can end up giving characters a lighter looking & more desaturated complexion that doesn't match with their actual skintone. I'm hoping having this to reference will help folks avoid that! Also I know a lot of ppl have their own Art Baker redesigns and don't use Tut for reference, however Art being a dark-skinned black man is important so I think it's still worth keeping his skin tone in mind- I've seen some Art redesigns that have him as lighter skinned and that's a choice that is ultimately racist and based in colorism.

whatever. go my toxic yellowjackets stolson.

i gotta speak my truth about something real quick. y'all have gotta stop treating hank and clementine like a "do not separate" pair. i'm getting a bit tired of people treating hank shippers like they're crazy.

and to clarify: obviously, this is not clementine hate. i tend not to talk about her because she's not really a character, but i think what the fandom has done with her/her potential is, generally speaking, very cool!

however, we do need to remember that we don't really know anything about their relationship. the only character who talks about her is collie. i understand that there are some generally accepted things about her and thats very cool, but at the end of the day, she is completely up to interpretation. i could say anything about her and it might be true. we simply do not know!

i remember this being a huge thing on twitter back in november and have seen a couple shit takes on it lately but y'all have GOT to stop treating people who ship hank with the other boys like they're misogynistic for "ignoring a female character." i am not denying that female characters regularly get ignored for the sake of yaoi, but this does not apply here. it is not crazy to want to ship olson with a character who he'd have an established dynamic with! because clem isn't really a character, and they do not have an established dynamic. that's okay!

let's also not pretend that jan has ever kept people from shipping gavries (and she is an actual character). and i see this argument the most for why people hate bakeson and it's always rubbed me the wrong way. i don't even main bakeson (anyone who has spoken to me for .5 seconds knows i am a stolson enthusiast. i still like bakeson a lot though) but people who hate that ship make me a little bit wary. why are you so hesitant to ship a MOC (who, in all honesty, is a very shippable character)?? and especially hating on a ship involving two MOC who canonically have a v close relationship (which i do firmly believe is the reason bakeson is not more popular than it is. ideally it should be the #2 most popular and yet it's technically a rarepair)??? i also saw a super batshit post on twitter saying that shipping bakeson is ignoring a black woman??? where??? while i do share the black clementine headcanon, it is a headcanon. meanwhile art is a canonically black character and you are ignoring him. wider fandom ignores art baker to a criminal degree and he is actually a prominent character with a canon personality. let's put our thinking caps on for this one, shall we?

i'm also not saying you have to ship bakeson (this post is not about ship wars. i would like to make that very clear. idc what you ship) or even that you have to ship hank with any of the other walkers, but let's stop treating the couple that we don't know anything about like an inseparable pair. it's getting a bit boring and honestly a lot of people are using it as an excuse to further ignore and desexualize hank. because let's be real, most of you are not making hank-centered content. hank/clem is usually a background pairing.

as a hank fan and multishipper, i do get very annoyed when i try to bring up literally any hank ship and people are like "but clementine!" i Did Not ask. please Cease. let's all give him a little bit more love and variety, especially since hank week is coming up!

[trival-obsession]

You’re so right bestie. I love me good Clementine x Hank content, but if you’re so concerned about them being together just ship them as a poly or don’t engage with other ships. This is not the hill to die on, at all problematic, or any kind of exclusive relationship.

Speaking of knowing literately NOTHING about Clementine, Early on I saw a post theorizing that Hank made up Clementine because he was posturing and then Collie overheard and assumed Hank was genuine and that is an equally valid interpretation as every other version because we get absolutely NOTHING about her existence (Hank doesn’t even allude to her on screen).

If someone want to make a cheating storyline with a ship, let them. If someone wants to ignore a cannon relationship for a different pairing they have full rights to do that. You also have this great ability to “NOT ENGAGE” and just move on. Just let people have fun idk.
