hello i'm jack, i use all pronouns, i like to write and also draw sometimes
i cannot ever say anything in a concise way, i apologize in advance, i love to ramble :’)
i tend to jump from fandom to fandom a lot, so i'm pretty inconsistent with what i reblog
if you ever want to send me a message or ask, even if we're not mutuals, go ahead!! i love talking to people and making new friends!!
i love to do art trades, so if you like my art or writing and have anything you'd like to do in trade (art/writing/editing/playlists/moodboards/crochet/secret family recipe/fancam of my cat/etc) always feel free to ask me about that!! i also do art commissions which you can find here (if you're interested in a writing commission, msg me and we could work that out)
links:
my ao3 | my artfight | my posts tag | my spotify (mostly OC playlists) | my personal favourite fic i've ever written (3rd life desert duo modern with magic road trip AU where grian is a dinosaur and scar is a terrorist) | my personal favourite of my OC tags, from which you can probably find all my other OC tags
feel free also to friend me on discord (crystalrainwing) or email me [email protected]
userboxes from @mountaingoatsuserboxes :3
i only post my fandom-related writing online, but i also write original short stories, poems, and personal essays, so if you'd like to see any of those feel free to ask :3
i have a bad habit of not using punctuation when i'm just typing casually so if that makes it hard for you to read what i'm saying you can tell me to knock it off. additionally i like to play fast and loose with regular word order so sometimes i say things in a way that is terrible and bad to read. sorry!
if it is a thing that makes a difference to you, i am a grown adult who pays rent, so i guess don't follow me if you're an adults dni person
some of my favourite characters, from current and past fandoms: hollyleaf (wc), klaus (tua), sam (spn), jack (spn), jenny from thebes (tmg), stan (gf), mabel (gf), hellen (lo), sam (lo), mob (mp100), gtws from 3rd life specifically, maxwell (w359), minkowski (w359), pepper (wayfarers), sidra (wayfarers), the distortion (tma), tomura (mha), yokafee (ysmp)… and many others
they call me 'guy with dietary restrictions' in my case specifically i strictly cannot have gluten and non-strictly cannot have meat or dairy so if you have any recipes or tips that fit those restrictions please hit me up
if i mention something in the tags of a post, generally that means it’s something i am fine with talking about, so if you’re curious feel free to ask! even if ive tagged it “the [redacted] incident” or something, that’s usually because someone involved uses tumblr, not because i can’t/won’t talk about it. i am nosy and always wonder, so here’s full permission to shoot me a dm or an off-anon ask and i’ll probably tell you

the more time you spend in active recovery from any given self destructive behavior or addiction the more you understand the common conception of the "relapse" as defined by a broken "streak" to be, like, so bad for one's own well-being that it would be funny if it weren't resulting in just a lot of misery and death
I told my girlfriend to think of quitting vaping as training her endurance by seeing how long she can run before she gets tired, then doing it again and hoping to go further next time. She said it really helped her.
This is the stages of change model, with each circle being a part of the process of growth. You'll notice how relapse is not a failing of the model, or a set back, but an active step in continuing to grow and change. Everytime you relapse, you learn something; maybe a certain time of year is difficult for you. Maybe certain people push you back into the habit. Maybe your other coping skills/replacement habits didn't work how you wanted and you need to strengthen them, or develop new ones. Maybe it's not quite as clear cut and you need to spend the time figuring out what exactly went wrong so you can catch it next time. It doesn't matter the exact lesson, but it's part of the process.
here's another idea for a poll! I think this will have some interesting results. this sentence is here to pad out this paragraph so people who don't read posts will be more likely to accidentally miss these instructions. if you're reading this, please select option eleven. here's another sentence to make this block of text look longer. anyway here's my fun poll idea!

I've seen this clip many times, but never really appreciated the power of "what was her problem?" Just casually assuming that lesbians come in a wide variety of shapes and being inclusive. As a transbian who is probably still closer to Homer shaped than to my ideal, that's huge!
Never be afraid to recycle an idea you had for a project you already completed. Sometimes ideas really are just that good and deserve to be used more than once.
screaaaammm somebody just called me a bootlicker for being annoyed that my coworker is so bad at her job thats its making everyone elses jobs way fucking harder i can never ever ever ever turn anon off
Majority of this website will go to warrrr for coworkers that make everyone’s life miserable bc they’re the coworker who makes everyone’s life miserable
one of the best things about commie utopia would be that your incompetent coworker could be fired without ruining their life...I spent like 6 extra months with a coworker who fucked everything up constantly because our boss didn't want him to lose his visa and in an ideal world you could be just kind of bad at things without that being grounds for deportation y'know
One argument about UBI I like to make to people is to think of the most unbearable coworker they've ever had, or the worst customer experience they've ever had, and consider whether the world wouldn't actually be a better place if some people simply did not work

Okay, vague book Rocky plush pattern and tutorial!
Please keep in mind that I know very very little about sewing, and the result I got came from me winging most of it and making a lot of mistakes. I don't at all suggest you follow this directly or use the exact same measurements as I did (which as you will notice, do not make any sense), so probably just use this to get a gist of what to do if you want it.
Also note that the carapace patterns were originally for a movie Rocky plush and they just came out wrong for me, so you may want to alter the carapace side panels when you make your own.
These are the wangjangled patterns I made, the excess paper outside the red shapes are the seam allowance which I gave myself a lot of to prepare for mistakes, but you can have as much or as little as you want. The red lines mark where I intended to sew, not where I cut the fabric (or really ended up sewing).
You can see how the measurements really don't make sense (the carapace top/bottom sides being different lengths, and different lengths than the top of the side panels and the suchlike), so for your own sanity, please make yours better than I did. Also, the arms are disproportionate to the carapace, if you're aiming to make it more book accurate maybe make them around 30cm long instead of 40.
Incoherent and vague tutorial with some simplified drawings under the cut:
You don't have to do this in the same order I did, and there are probably way better ways to do it, but this is vaguely how it went for me as I bullshitted my way through. I did a mix of machine sewing and hand sewing.
(Red lines indicate where to sew, please account for seam allowance.)
The radiator piece on top is just a smaller version of the carapace top pattern (hence why I didn't make it its own pattern) and the actual "vents" themselves are just lines of that 11 stitch on my sewing machine. There's a bunch of different ways you can emulate the vents, but if you have a sewing machine this is the easiest way I figured to do it.
Sew that onto the centre of the carapace piece. I also put a small stitch connecting it at the very middle to keep it centred.
Sew all the sides to the top. If you want to have the clean edges/seams, then make sure to sew the fabric like sides to like sides.
Then sew all the sides to the sides except one so he's vaguely shaped (and inside-out.)
Flip him upside down and sew the sides to the bottom carapace piece, except for one near the two sides that are still open.
Then sew those remaining side pieces together (keep the bottom open), and flip him right-side-in through the open hole at the bottom so the preferred side of the fabric is on the outside and the seams are hidden inside. You can stuff him now and sew up the bottom panel if you want, or you can do it after the arms are attached.
The arms are pretty simple, just fold the rectangle in half (on the blue line), sew up the open side and one end to make a tube, flip it right-side-in the so the seams are hidden, stuff it, and sew up the remaining open end. Do that 5 times.
For the hands, sew three finger panels to the three small edges of the hand panel. Do that 10 times.
Take 2 hands pieces and sew them together, leaving the side that will attach to the arm open. Flip it inside out, stuff it, and then sew up that final side. Do that 5 times.
Sew all 5 hands to all 5 arms.
And then sew the arms to the carapace! (And stuff the carapace and sew up that last hole if you didn't earlier.)
Book Rocky plush!
Again, I completely fenagled mine and if I had followed my patterns perfectly to a tee it probably would look very different. There's definitely different and better ways to do this, especially depending on what materials and tools you're using.
I'm not very good at explaining things, so feel free to ask any clarifying questions or shoot me an ask if anything doesn't make sense and I'll try my best to answer!

I know it’s just a popular misconception in this fandom that Grace runs out of food on the way to Erid, where in the book he actually runs out a few months after arriving and it just takes the Eridians a while to make him more that he can actually eat. And honestly idgaf but consider how much more angst potential it is that Grace arrives to Erid healthy and has a chance to explain what happened with Rocky and befriend a bunch of other Eridians, and then starts to decline in health.
Instead of Rocky having to convince Erid to save the life of a random alien they don’t know anything about, it’s suddenly a scramble for Erid to save their new friend (and savior of their planet) and watching him slowly get worse while they struggle to make progress sucks for everyone who has gotten to know him, not just Rocky.
