for the longest time, I felt a lot of shame anytime I posted any art on the internet because none of it ever felt good enough, especially if it was fan art for something I loved. but like, as time passes and I get older I realize that like 1. things are only embarrassing if you find them embarrassing. and 2. that I wanna share my art with the world regardless of if anyone else likes it, that way it doesn't just stay in the confines of my computer where no one will ever see it but me
I can be shaped by more than the things that hurt me
I didn't ask if it made sense to keep going. I said I'm going to kick your twisted evil ass.
character design is so fun :]
these four are background characters for my webcomic!
some fanart,,, @diddlysquash I love all the embroidery on Merry Thing's clothes, its so pretty <3
I can’t draw very well and hated that I couldn’t draw my DnD character, a tabaxi cleric named Merry Thing, but then I remembered I’m pretty good with a needle and thread so I made her
All made by hand, hand embroidered details, and I even crocheted the lace trim on her shift!
guy with 60hz monitor: i am enjoying playing this game
guy with 240hz monitor: Honestly if you were to conceive of the most efficient possible torture in terms of purely causing agony for as long as possible and also have your firstborn son killed in front of you during the torture it would not even be a tenth as bad as playing a game at 60 fps
i abandoned a jar (with a child safety lock. this detail is salient) of 100mg edibles at my parents house last month because i didn’t want to fly with them and my mom called last night to inform me that my dad ate one without looking at what it was. thankfully just one!!!!!!! this man has never been high before!!!!!!!! blasted through that child safety lock and only stopped at one gummy because “it tasted like shit.” but them back where he found them and cooked dinner and then texted my mom in a panic when it hit because he felt bad. still had no clue he’d taken an edible until mom asked him if he ate anything weird. when my mom called me last night he was laying on the floor motionless and refused to move. and he stayed like that for 4 hours. he is fine this morning and reports having slept very well. he has been yelled at several times now to look at what the hell he’s putting in his mouth before he eats it.
My household has been calling our winter festivities "Fishmas" for several years, and now that my niblings are coming in from out of town, I'm excited to broaden their ideas about holidays in general, as they seem very unfamiliar with the concept that there exist people who are not Christian.
We will, of course, also be celebrating Hanukkah as usual. I have plenty of Hanukkah decorations. But Fishmas has always been an opportunity for us to get weird with it, and I especially want to lean into that this year.
I couldn't imagine having an exotic animal or being one of those people who gets exotics for attention. From experience, the average person is just as impressed with dog that's a weird color or a rat with a harness.
does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
i am a firm believer that ocs are a reflection of the self in the way that every character you create has to hold some piece of you to really feel alive. sometimes this is why all your ocs have certain traits, sometimes this is why you can track your various issues and traumas all the way from middleschool to now based on what your ocs are like. this is a feature not a bug
grits my teeth. they dont have to be parent and child they can literally just be friends..... they're literally both full adults. they can literally be friends. please. please stop nuclear family beaming them plea

Older than history itself
What if the oldest vampire was a Neanderthal girl 🤔
the thing they dont tell you about listening to the adventure zone for the first time is that you'll miss them for the rest of your life. taako magnus and merle will be held in your heart wherever you go. when you binge it and get caught up to the eleventh hour in 2016 and you're a sophomore in high school shoving your sweatshirt sleeve in your mouth to stop yourself from laughing you have no idea that you'll be coming up on christmas 2022 and it's been six years and a goblin that looks like common and sounds like kelsey grammer will still make you laugh. you hear "are you naming your god damn wizard taako?" and that's it for you. you're in for life.
Don't stop talking about them. We need to be their voice.
Inspired by the amazing poem by dana
I’ve been playing so much sudoku. You have no idea how much sudoku I’m playing. Every time I close my eyes I see the grid. I’m making moves in my sleep. 179432568. 653897124. 824516937. 915683742. 246175893. 387249615. 561724389. 498351276. 732968451. This morning before I was fully awake I was playing sudoku in my head. I rise with the dawn. I’m a warrior of numbers. You’re nothing to me.
finals is over time to be normal again
writing a garbage essay feels like you’re the cow who gave birth to the two headed calf. in the morning, my professor will wrap him in newspaper and dissect him on a cold operating table. but here he is alive, under the pale glow of my computer screen. he is beautiful. there are twice as many logical fallacies as usual.
Happening now: American Jews are shutting down 8 bridges in 8 cities across the country for the 8th night of Hanukkah with one clear unified message: permanent ceasefire now [ @/ sumayaawad on X. 12/14/23.] ❤️🇵🇸
“if the law is unjust it should be broken” applies to MANY THINGS but the migratory bird act and endangered species act ARE NOT ANY OF THOSE SUCH THINGS!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE USE YOUR HEAD
