I Miss Him

mid drawing this i cropped the canvas and then when i was done i went back through my layers and realized i cut fiddleford from another drawing clean in half never crop your canvases kids

'Folgers Incest Commercial: Stancest edition!'

In the Stancest discord I promised someone (I don't remember who, this was weeks ago) that I would write a fic about that stupid coffee commercial staring our favorite idiots! So, I did that and it almost killed me, but here it is! Happy holidays!

God, I miss Pinecest 😩

I started this blog as a pinecest-specific sideblog, but even then I was late to the party. Literally days after making this blog, doublepines password-locked her blog, and then soon after deleted it. Everybody aside from a few lovely stragglers was kinda over it, every art had been drawn, every fic had been written, every theory had been theorized. It was time to move on. Sure, there was a fun little afterparty when the twins turned 21 and a few more times after, but the hype and interest had largely fizzled out.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED being a part of that afterparty. I just wish I could’ve been there for the golden days of Pinecest. When GF was getting new episodes, and people were realizing how cute these twins were together. I wish I knew what the culture of this little corner of the fandom was like, before the party started to die down. Back then, I wasn’t exactly an anti or anything, but the concept of being pro-ship was entirely foreign to me, and things like shipcest seemed gross, yet deep down I was intrigued. I missed out before I even knew the party had started. I can romanticize it in my mind all I want, but I really have a feeling that it was something special. Pinecest as a ship is so deceptively wholesome, people see “cest” and clutch their pearls, but when the oh-so-delicious taboo and angst are stripped away, they’re a cute, loving couple who only want the best for each other. I imagine the fandom surrounding the ship must’ve been just as wholesome in its heyday - excluding the occasional toxic fan and of course the rabid antis, but that can’t be helped.

I dunno, I just… I wish we could revive that again in earnest. I miss you, Pinecest 😭

something something "Fiddleford’s innate domesticity comforting a man whose deepest desire was to come home" something something "a man who nurtures and cares for others to the point of heartbreak meeting a man who doesn’t remember what it’s like for anyone to care about him"

doodles very much inspired by @yujateaandpi's perfect and beautiful analysis of Fiddlestan

I LOVE YOUR STANCEST ART RAAAAHH what’s your top five best stancest fanfic recs?

Thank you so much!!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧💕💕💕 I'm not the best person to ask this to lmao, since 1) I'm a slow reader, I don't have much time to read, and I probably yet have to find some gems and 2) I read and tend to fall in love with unfinished works, that I know many people avoid like the plague. That said, I won't do a top 5 because I don't think any of these are better than the others, but I'll recommend some of my fave Stancest fics so far. I hope you'll enjoy! ❤ "bad moon on the rise" by calciseptine. If you like teenstans and Ford being down bad for his clueless bro, this is for you.

🧡 "The Guardian" by cellard00rs. Stanford travels back in time to check on Stan during his drifter years. I did some trad sketches of this fanfics, I gotta ink them digitally one of these days. 💛 "Brand New", unfortunately by Anonymous. I won't tell you anything, it's best to go into this one blind- I'll just say it got my favorite brand of fucked-up, opportunistic, dark Ford.

💚 "Learning Commons" by Frondere. AU with so much going on, so many elements to keep you hooked...There's many chapters too, so if you're into something rich and lengthy to read, this is ideal! 💙 "Tough as Nails" by sixerstanley. If you enjoy intense, deep exploration of the Stans' feelings, thoughts and relationship, you'll love this one! There's so much tension, and then tenderness, it's such a great read.

💜 "stay (it doesn't have to hurt)" again by calciseptine. Okay, this one doesn't actually get to any Stancest, as it stops at chapter one, but is SO GOOD. Especially if, like me, you love drifter Stan, you should read it. It's just that good.

🖤 "The Pull Of You" by an orphaned account, sadly. The way they're written as teenagers here is so authentic and natural. The intimacy, the tension, the desire, the daily rituals.... Pretty great read, but get ready for the heartbreak at the end.

I like to believe, as A.Square got older, he begun forgetting not only what he saw on the third dimension, but also how the Sphere looks like

Whatever, go my brainworm

I do not recommend watching the free 2007 Flatland film which you can find on youtube until you've read or listened to the book unless you want to be really confused. The movie is an absurdist comedy. The book is a political satire. The movie is better appreciated after you've already read/listened to the book.

It also has a lot of flashing lights and motion-sickness inducing spinning. The timestamps for those can be found here. Please be careful if you have photosensitivity.

do not spend money on Flatland until you already know you like it. you do not need to spend money at all. It's public domain. it belongs to all of us.

Very important edit: The creator of the 2007 film that's free on youtube, Ladd Ehlinger is an extremely racist and misogynistic conservative. He made a political ad so blatantly racist and sexist that youtube has literally resstricted it, so that you can't share the link outside the site. Simply google his name and you will see dozens upon dozens of articles about how bigoted he is.,

Please be aware of what kind of person made that movie when you watch it. His bigotry is baked into the movie, and is why he refused to actually do anything with the original political commentary from the book.

You are not a bad person if you already watched the movie and enjoyed it, but you do need to be aware of what kind of person made it and how that affected the movie, and make sure others are warned.
