Anyone else ever think about how Good Omens and/or Discworld literally rewired your brain and altered its chemistry or is that just me?

Because four years ago before starting Discworld I was fucking miserable and I felt hopeless. I had cut off my last high school friend because they’d wronged me deeply and we’d outgrown each other, and I’d just finished college so I stopped seeing my college/adult friends except for a couple times a year, and after being surrounded by people for so long I was alone and still am. I had given up reading long before that because no author really “spoke” to me, and then I found Terry recommended EVERYWHERE on the fantasy subreddit so I gave him a shot and his aphorisms and witty humor and outlook on the world and people helped me almost as much as my actual therapist. Instead of lingering on hatred and betrayals and my own BPD and PTSD-related thoughts, I began to see the world in shades of grey and work through my own trauma. Before this I only saw “good” and “evil” people and one wrong move pushed you from the good column into the evil column in my eyes. I still struggle with it in moments of direct pain, but before him it was my whole world-view. I was literally so full of anger almost every minute of my life that my chest hurt until discovering Discworld.

Truly crazy how a piece of fiction can help you so much. Especially from an angry man who somehow maintained a sense of optimism.

SPOILERS FOR KN8 MANGA !! (CHAP 114)

Boop! I'm proud of you. Life is a shitty thing that's getting more complicated with each passing day, so don't be too hard on yourself because you're doing great. Remember that you are the only person guaranteed to stay with you, so please treat yourself better. Drink some water, get a power nap, eat a snack that will cheer you up, find a hobby that excites you for the next day, and treat yourself with proper respect. You are incredible, so don't beat yourself down over the minor things out of your control, and take a deep breath for me. I hope you smile today, and please remember that your feelings are valid. Your pain, however insignificant you might think of it, is worth acknowledging, and it's not shameful to ask for help to deal with it. I'm sending you the warmest hug I could master. One last thing - please remember that even if your mind might try to convince you otherwise, your life is worth living, and I'll be devasted if you're gone. Have a nice day!

my favorite trope is when someone believes they’re hard to love and someone who loves them like it’s breathing.

Hi! Do you have any fc suggestions for Anakin? Trying to find someone who matches Hayden's vibe is harder than I thought lol.

hello !! let me start off saying that i totally agree, anakin has to be the hardest to find alt faceclaims for. but here’s my best attempt: hugh laughton, charles bilgrien, maksymilian barczak, callum stoddart, tom webb, jaron baker, heir.of.atticus, reece king, adrien sahores, gaspard ulliel, tom hughes, miguel tortosa, dev patel, umberto villahermosa, & diogo guerreiro !

anyone got any tips on how to write a characters slow decent into semi-madness because they are in a timeless void and can barely remember who they are since almost all of their important memories have the same person in it but its always blurry or distorted in/on a clear background? i want to traumatise one of my ocs

Yes I am aware he has committed atrocities but have you considered that he’s my special guy

G... GOD DAMN BRO IT WAS A JOKE...

GOT ME KICKING MY FEET AND SHIT- AM *I* BEING ROMANCED RN?????? WHO DO I CALL??? POE-LEASE??? OFF-THORY-TEASE??

IS THIS WAR??? IS THIS A CALL TO ARMS??? GIVE ME LIKE...,,,, A FEW DAYS AND ILL FUCKING

SHODIFH

IM COUGHING UP BLOOD HERE THAT WAS A CRITICAL HIT HOLD ON--

what if i am malicious or mean-spirited? what then?

you say it like you aren't, you FUCKING BULLY

but let's ignore the fact that your love language IS BULLYING so that i can disprove those preposterous rumours of cowardice that you've been spreading around about me

meeting noel wasn't really a life-altering experience but deciding to invite him over for that first movie night that lead to a sleep over definitely was. see noel has this type of... disarming confidence that sort of scared me at first, but after a long rant about anime (and the assurance that there was something queer afoot with this guy), i decided to give this a try yknow? after all this is uni and I'm not in my home town and I don't wanna have zero friends here so i put on my big human pants and gave it a shot.

you would not believe how well it worked. see noel has this loud unabashed and pretty much shameless personality that i wasn't sure if i could work with. I'm the type of person that has a history of always being the one to compromise for the louder personality without saying anything and letting things bottle up until i literally decide to cut the other off, so i was cautious about managing my old bad habits and not letting them have a say in this new friendship.

enter stage right noel, who is loud and shameless but so so fucking considerate, who will ask and check, who is so careful about not making me feel uncomfortable (and the fact that i never feel bad about redirecting a conversation because of that speaks for itself). noel, who will initiate conversations that feel so meta because talking about your friendship with the friend involved isn't something i was used to at that point WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE ITS SO USEFUL.

funnily enough, despite his loud energy (and i have never found anything funnier than this), his gamer rage is a "ts" that barely sounds mildly annoyed. it's endearing and utterly hilarious.

also, and i know noel being autistic plays a part in this but let me tell you, as someone that gets anxious and is a bit of an overthinker, the honesty that's always a part of my interactions with noel is so refreshing. and the fact that on top of all this, this guy doesn't even complain about living in a state of semi-constant confusion at my sarcasm. and by sarcasm, i mean that i sarcastically responded to noel telling me that I'm a sarcastic person okay? it's not just your casual run-of-the-mill thing, i live and breathe in sarcasm and this guy right here (who called me an eldritch being which feels like such a compliment) doesn't even complain. IN FACT i had to needle him into telling me to use /j or /s via texting, which he would never bring up himself ig and honestly. YOU'RE SO CONSIDERATE BUT NOT TO YOURSELF.

ahem moving on. noel is a also a fucking bully in the most loving way possible. we once highjacked a video call for a uni project just to snipe at each other with petty fake (or not so fake but meant with love) insults BECAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE THE ABUSE AND I STAND BY THIS; HE STARTED IT.

he's the guy that calls me out so. much. who loves to needle me and tease me because that's what i signed up for apparently. it took me a bit to figure out how to go about it in a way that didn't lead to me accidentally internalizing the wrong thing, but once i figured that out it was game on.

conversations with noel will span from us aggressively calling each other out, to pretending to be a victorian couple to yelling about cute animals and raving about our specific extremely interesting thing at the moment. this guy has shown me so many different and diverse fandoms, from the owl house (which i still need to finish but whatever) to bee and puppycat to anything link and hyrule related. in return, i try to keep my rants about star wars (which i absolutely love and he absolutely cannot stand to listen too much about) to a minimum (which only works sometimes, sorry). and this right here is so important to me.

I've never had this dynamic before. this mutual understanding of i scream about my thing and you scream about your thing, and we focus as much as we can and if we can't we let the other know and they can scream later or scream via text so we can see it in a few days. that is something that i will never stop appreciating, something that i just wont stop loving about me and noel.

noel is the guy that's always there when i drop drinks (milk and alcohol most notably) on my carpet because istg it never happens when I'm alone or with anyone else. noel is the guy that decided to start writing down this wild au i pitched at him, which we started obsessing over and developing for the entirety of january iirc (and this is what urged me to also start writing about it and suddenly we're writing buddies which is such a fun and interesting experience).

he's the guy that was worried that me losing my social battery meant he did something wrong (something that i hope I've disproved by now, and also I NEVER SEEM TO LOSE MY BATTERY WITH THIS GUY?? I've literally never had this happen with any of my other friends but with noel it takes so long for me to me to go mm i need alone time),

noel has also, at many points this last year, practically moved in with me and yknow what? the absolute peace and calm adoration that i felt when i got home from a uni meeting to see him on my chair drawing, there are no words for it i swear

A/N: The story that kept me afloat the past few weeks is here! I got an ask a few months ago from @rodejeon about what I think of single mom OC bc we always get single dad jk and I said the first thing I thought of was Leslie Mann’s character in How to Be Single. So that was my inspiration for this - successful woman, flirty younger man - but more. 

It’s a little different than what I’m used to writing but I hope you don’t get put off by all the fluff and flirting. Blame instagram and vlive JK. But I just srsly wanted to feel happy and that’s what this story makes me feel. Also features all our favorite men (w/ wooga squad cameo) and an adorable little one whom I fell in love with as well 😍 Please watch out!

TF FANS PLEASE CONSIDER

Sparkling!Bumblebee (I’m imagining TFP as I always do, but go ahead and headcanon any ’Bee you want) being so small and tiny that when Optimus Prime transforms, he can just plop ’Bee into his passenger seat and buckle him in to carry him around. When they’re not zooming around to get to places, Optimus will park and let ’Bee sit in his driver’s seat. ’Bee excitedly grips the steering wheel and mimes driving, and enthusiastically yells “BEEP!” to pretend he’s honking the horn. Eventually, when ’Bee is a little older, Optimus will explain to him that his semi truck horn is different from the regular Vehicon horns, but in the meantime, Optimus plays along, and even honks for ’Bee to make the little sparkling think it was his doing. And ’Bee clambers all over Optimus’ seats, and clicks buttons left and right, even though he has no idea what they do. When ’Bee finally gets tuckered out and falls asleep, Optimus switches on his engine, only to discover that his hazards, wipers, and heater are all going at once, very noisily; and he has to urgently shut them off before the mechanical symphony wakes up his son.

okay !! it's absolutely going to take me a little bit to sort my thoughts and figure out how I'm handling ruin in regards to my canon but I will say in general I'm extremely flexible and more than willing to adapt to however ya'll handle it for your muses

I added texture and shades. And now - for the next 7846 hours left of work on this -

I was going to draw chapter covers but I did this instead. Goodnight.

"my name is dean winchester. I'm an aquarius. I enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach, and frisky women."

"hello. i'm roman. I'm chronically single, i'm a gemini, and i like long duels on the beach-"

i just. that's all i could think about.

So today i realized i have basically become Sirius Black in which I mean obsessed with my hair and I keep like running my fingers through it lol

she’s maniacal, she’s mad, she’s monstrous. she lost her moral compass and the better half of her sanity someplace between her blurred-out childhood and her sister’s abandonment. her teeth are as sharp as her knives, her smile is just as deadly. she is ruled by her desires, primarily: to be desired. she craves power and glory and opulence, and she idolises the one man who represents all this to her, the one man who can give this to her. she’s devoted and diabolical, and there’s no hope left for her. no one holds a candle out for her anymore. she’s not included in anyone’s prayers. she’s been lost down her dark, dark path, and yet she’s never been happier. she’s overwhelmingly content in her life of lunacy and servitude. she’s not scared or helpless or ‘misunderstood’, she’s simply downright evil. she found sanctuary in her insanity, and it’s cruel to take that away.
