I sprained my arm awhile back so this took me awhile to finish. I can draw again now, but slowly….
physics and breaking your glasses vent piece 💔💔💔
Another domestic themed strips redraw from old works! :”D
Confession? 🤭
i apologize for being nosy, and please don't answer this if you don't want to, but i remember a few years ago you had identified as asexual and i was wondering if you still do? i did for a long time but i'm with a new partner now and i'm starting to wonder if maybe the connection just wasn't right with anyone before and that's why i wasn't into having sex? is that normal? i mean, i identified that way for YEARS so i'm just. very confused at myself.
I mean listen, I’m in my 30s. These labels don’t mean a lot to me anymore. Like, literally everything is normal. Everything is fine so long as nobody’s feelings are being hurt. Don’t worry about some label that used to be useful maybe not being useful anymore. Thank it for its service and let it retire. Maybe one day it will be useful again. That doesn’t change anything about you, because you are, and always have been, a complex, multifaceted, constantly changing kaleidoscope of emotional and sexual needs, and “asexual” is just a word that helped you make sense of it for a while.
Like, y’all, give yourselves a break. Sex is complicated. Some people are straight their whole lives, and then they meet one person who changes everything. Some people are one thing for a while, then they’re another thing, then they go back to being the first thing. Some people stay one thing forever. Some people are really into something in their 20s that grosses them out to even think about for the rest of their lives. All if it’s normal.
The words you put on your orientation are not elementally a part of you. They are tools, and as tools they should serve a function. That function can be to help you understand and categorize your own experiences and desires. It can be to help you find a community. It can be to help you get laid. It can just be to set social expectations. These words can be a revelation when you first apply them to yourself: they can be life-saving. But you are not beholden to them.
“Idk, I thought of myself as ace for a long time, but I’m into my current partner, so like, enh? I’m having a good time and my partner and I are both happy, so I guess labels aren’t really useful to me right now” can be all you have to say on the subject.
Recently I love watching ASMR Mukbang and….. what if Gen………
I compiled all of the byler evidence I have ever found into this 210+ page google slides. I mainly made it for my own brain to have all the evidence organized in one place, but also to share with my friends so I can explain to them why byler is real LMAO. I thought I would post it here too in case anyone else might like it!
I know it's a lot of slides, but I wanted to make sure it was really detailed and extensive! I promise it doesn't take super long to read :) (edit: ok well now it's over 300 slides and it actually does take a while to read)
(I just want to preface that several of the edits in here do not belong to me, and I am not taking credit for them. Most of them I found on pinterest where I couldn’t find credit given, but I know some are from @kaypeace21)
Reblogs much appreciated! :)) I worked on this for like 4 full days LOL
edit: explanation on how I made these if you are worried enough credit isn’t given :)
edit: ALSO, if for some reason you need the slides to be shared with you to access them, please use a personal email and not a school/company one because they usually don't accept shares from outside the organizations!
@alkalinefrog suggested that I publish the headcanons I wrote with her in response to her escape room ask. I didn't wanna postjack but I thought I might as well share.
Including some of Alka's own thoughts and contributions, stylized like this! I copy pasted her words directly from the chat we shared, but some of mine have been elaborated on because they were my own statements and I had some other things to add!
It takes a little while, but eventually, L mentions that there might be a way to beat this without resorting to asking the Taskforce. Nobody knows of their shame except, of course, Watari. Once L explains his idea, Light is completely on board.
The three, even Misa, come back with Mello, Matt and Near for some support and area coverage. Misa was determined to see this through when she saw how much this meant to Light!
"Besides. This will be an excellent learning experience for them -" "Round two motherfuckers let's go." "Light, do not curse in front of the children."
"Fuck yes let's do this." "Near, do not encourage him."
It's pretty much canon that Near is a worse pottymouth than Mello is. Chickenshit President.
Mello drops like a solid loud F bomb here and there, but Near sprinkles it into his regular speech completely nonchalant lolol Oh man, Mello would be ON BOARD with Light's aggressive haunted house redemption arc I love the idea of L calmly chiding his boyfriend for being a bad influence on the kiddos All three of them take to Light like ducks to water tho 😭♥️
It's a matter of pride to Light and he's not afraid to let that show. He thinks that's an important lesson to instill in the children anyway - take pride in your abilities and if someone insults you, come back twice as hard.
L disagrees with this as a lesson. Mello points out the hypocrisy of that.
"Yes, but that means I have firsthand experience."
"If you don't think we should be learning from this, why are we here?" Matt asks at one point. "Oh, I read that these make for excellent teambuilding exercises. Aside from that, I just don't think you should be learning from Light's aggressive grudge keeping." Mello stares for almost a solid minute.
"Aight imma head out." "Mello come back here." "Nope." "You must get over your feelings with Near." "Bottlin' it." "Mello please."
"where's the door" "Mello that's the point, we have to find it together" "GODDAMMIT"
L's like "don't worry, this will be great practice for when you collaborate on cases---- Light you're doing that wrong" "Screw you L" "Please" All three kids "..."
"Mello, you must learn to put your emotions aside for the good of a case. It's an invaluable skill." "Like when you let a man be killed cause it made Kira react?" "Did it work?" L actually allows himself a smug little smile as Mello fails to come up with a response to that.
Near notices how Light is quietly fuming at that statement. Interesting.
Near goes "Light, what do you think about the Lind L-----" "Let's go kids, this room isn't gonna escape itself!" Near: side eyes
It's a journey of Self Discovery for all of them!
Matt learns that he can hide behind anyone and get some sort of comfort from them because he has the Saddest Face when he's scared. Light gives this most easily, because he already has experience as an older sibling. He lets Matt grab onto the back of his shirt and puts his arm over his shoulders. They could pass for half siblings, L notes.
AWWW
Near gains a whole new vocabulary of Japanese curse words following Light around
Near learns that ghosts are, in fact, quite frightening when they're in front of you. They were never nervous or worried about stories or even movies, but seeing them in person is quite different.
Near also learns that they're not good at figuring out where the clues have been hidden, but once they have them they're good at figuring out how to use them.
Mello learns that he could make a better escape room because God these hiding places are so obvious. They're also good at figuring out motives and profiling people.
Mello knows People, Near knows Application. Analyze and utilize. L decides that they must be better advised on how to work together.
Misa learns that when kids are clever and well behaved, she actually quite enjoys their company. She thought she didn't like kids because she's used to them being loud and obnoxious and poorly behaved from her time in America, and she didn't really observe children in Japan because their quiet and proper manners let them slip under her radar.
Misa ends up bonding most of all with Near due to their being odd ones out in their trios. Mello is very confused as to why the goth chick is so fond of Papercraft Child. For all of their differences, they end up quite good friends, and Near even gets Misa to help them with the puzzles as a second pair of hands and willing ears.
Mello ends up ignoring a lot of Near's advice outwardly, but when nobody's looking, he tries what Near suggested because it does make sense. "Hah! Got it!" "Well done, Mello, what was the answer?" "..."
Upon exiting, Light throws his arms up in the air and lets out a bellowing cackle that leaves everyone mildly concerned. Except for Matt. Matt's still clinging to him. Matt does not care that his new Big Brother has mildly concerning habits.
Still in evil!Senku hype, I am drawing evil!Gen as well…. thus, a perfect excuse to draw a fourway consiting entirely of SenGen 🤩😋
