drop ★ pop ★ candy

still toiling through it for rainmeter skins ... at least logging on i do see more human-made art (stamps, actual art you KNOW is art by a person, crochet) but it sucks the site feels so un-usable and always will have that looming 'hi we're deviantart we fucking hate artists' energy across it. it really sucks to see your first art site still basically a shambling corpse of itself, and i feel little incentive to post on it

some part of me still wants to post on it, which sucks. it'd be nice if there was a stylesheet or something that morphed it back into old DA, but with how changed the site is, unlikely as hell :( still mad my normal username is hogged by a dead account

i wish i could use sheezyart more to actually socialize/interact but i feel little incentive to do so ...

edit: there WAS a stylesheet, but it sounds like it's been broken for the last year so alas. to be fair, even if i do decide to upload again, i have zero trust for ppl not scraping shit so i'm debating if i should put a more prominent watermark like this one below. problem is 1. cumbersome to do it to all of my existing art 2. i already upload my art at a lower resolution + quality than the full sizes if they're on socmed

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: Daily life - my thoughts, things I'm up to, things I've created (I'm an artist), my travels, movies I've watched, photos I've taken. The mundane and anything that grabs my interest. I try to find whimsy in everyday life, and I probably think too deeply about a lot of stuff.

My hobbies / interests are: Drawing, journaling on paper and stationery in general, reading fiction, watching movies, musical theatre, EGL fashion, playing The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, Lego, learning languages, traveling whenever I can (usually on my own), and whatever actor I might be obsessed with at the moment.

I'm looking to meet people who: Thoughtful people who have similar interests and values. I'm looking for community and people I can connect with. I'm feeling very burnt out from social media and how loud and demanding it is with people just observing each other and nothing ever going any deeper than that. I miss feeling like I had actual friends on the internet, and learning about people's lives from all over.

My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I feel like. Sometimes that might be daily, sometimes weekly. I try not to post any less than that.

When I add people, my deal breakers are: Bigots. People who exclusively post about fandom, fanfic, or book reviews and little else. As an artist, I'm anti-AI. And just mean, judgemental types, I don't have space for that kind of attitude in my life. Be kind or get out.

Before adding me, you should know: I have C-PTSD, hEDS, and I'm neurodivergent. I don't talk about these things much, but they exist in the background and shape much of my world.

For my Karaoke Iko people out there, the Let's Go Karaoke movie live-action is available on the Japanese Film Festival website until June 3rd (JST)! Hopefully for your region, too.

If you're not familiar, I can also warmly recommend the 5 episode anime that's on Crunchyroll, if you have access.

I haven't read the manga or its sequel yet but I'm sure they're great fun too ;)



It's been super interesting to watch the movie after the anime and see the tweaks in the adaptation!! I think it all worked really well and I enjoyed it a lot. If you've also watched both (or any!!!!) you should talk to me actually :D

Title: Rules of Catharsis
Author: nostalgicatsea
Universe: MCU
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Word Count: 266
Summary: Contrition alone could neither save nor damn him. Only the wronged held that power. But Tony was gone, unable to answer him, and Steve wondered who else could grant him the reprieve that came through absolution or castigation.
Note: This is more implied Steve/Tony and is heavily focused on Pepper & Steve and Steve & Morgan, but since Tony haunts the entire fic and drives Steve through it, I decided to include the Steve/Tony tag.
 
Read on AO3 or Dreamwidth.

Rating: G
Warnings: None
