No but really: if you haven't listened to Andre 3000's new album, New Blue Sun, please do. It's really interesting.
Yes, it's experimental and weird and sounds a little like 1990s New Age music, but it's also good because of those things. It's meditative and wandering and not background music. You don't want to let it just sit in the background; you can do other things while listening but you ought to keep one ear on it. (One reviewer said that he could have pushed it a little further and I agree, but it's also really good as it is!)
I think "That Night in Hawaii..." is probably the most "traditionally" structured piece on the album, so while that's the 3rd track, it might be a good spot to dip your toes in.
Anyway, the whole thing is available to listen to for free online. I found it on YouTube (because I'm at work and that's the easiest method).

the REAL reason why luffy and zoro understand each other so well is because they are both autistic & their love language is parallel play. no matter what they are doing they are always in each others line of sight. zoro always naps close to where luffy is messing around with chopper and usopp. luffy sits close to where zoro is training when he’s fishing. while zoro is sharpening his swords, luffy sits right next to him, feeding some bug he picked up from the last island and decided to keep. while they don’t always talk to each other, they come to understand little cues that indicate their thoughts and emotions thanks to spending so much time close to one another.
how about that uhhhhh Fantasy Julie. she gets her sword <3 no one can take it from her <3
rambles:
SIKE you get an extra, lower quality doodle
SIKE AGAIN here's the rambles
yeah... i caved and gave her a tail... I'm Not Sorry! it's cute! i wanted to stick with her sorta flower motif - it's stronger in her princess look, since I imagine that when she was part of the royals she was very blatantly flower power based. it was her Thing!
but a Julie free of her noble shackles... she deserves her big sword. like yeah, she has flower magic, but who needs it when she has a Giant Blade??? on the royalty vein, and if we're classifying "rainbow monster" as a species, i feel like horn size/curve would be a status symbol of some kind. maybe Julie would have kept her horns filed short. but if she ran away from that life... longer horns! i like to imagine that they'll keep growing until she has a pair of Extra Weapons attached to her head! curved forward like mammoth tusks maybe!
i imagine that like Frank, she goes with minimal armor - range of movement over protection, yk? some scale mail over her front, a thick leather flower over her chest w/ scalloped leather pauldrons, wrist armor and metal knuckles! i'd think that the faux-suspenders include a back sheath for her sword... i wish i'd thought of that Before i finished the little ref! i don't feel like going back and editing!
i imagine that she was forced to cut her hair when it got caught in something (a gelatinous cube, mayhaps). it didn't look good! don't let anime and Mulan fool you! cutting your own hair with a blade will not look nice! but someone - Eddie, probably, he's good with scissors i'd assume - cleaned it up for her. and hey, it didn't look bad! plus, Julie probably liked being able to just tuck up her long strands into her hat when she's feeling a bit more like a Julius than a Julie!
it's been a fun challenge transforming their canon outfits into a similar variation with fantasy flavoring and twists! i want them to suit the setting but still maintain Themselves! Julie's was tough i gotta admit. i was messing around with the princess look and the fighter look side-by-side. it worked better when i sat back and thought "fighter Julie is Julie unrestrained. that version would be more aligned with her canon look"
i wanted her princess form to look Restrained! she has to be a ~delicate flower~, a noble woman, pristine and poised and very much a princess. soft colors, poofy clothing, bright white gloves that are not to be sullied. carefully bundled up hair! jewelry! that dress must be Heavy and hard to move in! her tail must be so cramped under there!
but Julie Unleashed? violent pinks! rose gold accents! short skirt so that she can sprint and Kick! fun boots that she can be active in and delight in watching them get dirty! her hair is free to whip in the wind and get caught in things! fun straps and Deadly Accessories! a sword that she stole from the royal armory on her way out the window! she has forearm wraps both to match Frank and to support her wrists!
a bunch of people do their takes on the gods of the cookie world, so heres my go of the pantheon. it includes every cookie whos rarity is above epic, which is why clotted and oyster are present!
also i uh. dont know if capsaicin is in the right place? i havent gone through the tri-cone cup story yet ;^^ but he doesnt seem to be exactly mortal.
maybe the spirit section is a hot-take, but when sherbet and stardust came out, it struck me that they looked a lot like wind archer and fire spirit!
I love being higher than the clouds hovering over the valley and seeing them slowly make their way towards me without changing altitude, and suddenly bump their noses into trees. A disconcerting moment in a cloud’s life. What is the ground doing here I thought I was in the sky
Okay I’m definitely thinking about it too much but in Toby’s sexyman fanfic, he mentions Sans’s brother entered him in the contest, and that said brother didn’t know what it was actually for. He doesn’t actually say Papyrus, and I can’t stop thinking about the fact “Sans’s brother” is never named in deltarune and the theory that deltarune Sans’s brother isn’t Papyrus and I’m definitely thinking about it too much but why does he keep shying away from saying Papyrus
Something is definitely up with the composition of this but I genuinely cannot be fucked to fix it
Pixel art Commissions
Is this used as an example on the commissions post I made nearly a month ago? Yes. And it's been drawn even longer. My queue is an unbeatable monolith.
