All of your art is so amazing, even if it's just for a con I would really be looking forward to seeing jjk art in your style! (If you do end up drawing that) You rarely post for fandoms I'm in these days but it doesn't even matter, I just love staring at your art regardless of if I know the character. Congrats on getting the con booth and I hope you're doing well!

It's the big downside of drawing for multiple fandoms, a lot of people will end up disappointed if they follow for just one. So I'm always happy to hear when people stick around for the art no matter who I draw, so thank you very much for telling me this! About jjk, there is a character that's been giving me brainrot. Before I started, I figured I would probably have Gojo as my fave. but alas:

i'm unwell!!! because in stede's eyes, ned low was right!! ned says "he [ed] only likes you because of your bumbling amateur status" and calls stede blackbeard's "pet" just like izzy did in series 1

so stede steps up as a captain, kills the man who harmed his crew, and suddenly, for once in stede's life, he isn't a joke! the gentleman pirate is taken seriously and welcomed into the pirate community!

and what happens less than 24 hours later? ed calls their night together a mistake, AND LEAVES.

yes, obviously the situation is more nuanced, and these old men are once again struggling to communicate, but i 100% understand why stede went a bit of the rails at the end of episode 7. stede's been so focused on trying to help ed, that he's completely ignored his own ongoing identity crisis and trauma, and after the incident at the academy in series 1, this meltdown was long overdue.

TU BISHVAT IS IN 5 DAYS EVERYONE LET'S GET HYPED. TREES TREES TREES

I went to a local yarn store for the first time, and while I was there, somebody was talking about getting a beginner's knitting kit, and she inquired about when lessons were, and when she was told that they'd be happy to sit down with her and teach her, she was so delighted. She talked about how excited she was and how much she wanted to learn to knit, and it just... it made me fall in love with humanity. It was this pure, unadulterated happiness coming from somebody and it was so genuine and kind, and I couldn't help but smile.

I guess all of this is to say... every moment, there are tiny little joys like this all over the world, and it makes this life worth living. I hope you witness and feel joy this simple, this pure.

seeing all those posts from ppl ab how miserable they are without a partner like sorry can't relate. i'm doing great and in fact i hope i die alone 🖤

Connor McDavid and Dylan Strome's first/last games as teammates

July 21st 2012 - May 15th 2015 (x, x)

Just had the cutest interaction while training Forte.

We were working on alternating between casual heeling/llw and fmp with him in harness around the block. We'd come full circle back to the driveway when I spotted a young kid on a bike coming up the road.

I put Forte in a down and planned to reward him as kid and dad passed by. But the kid saw Forte and stopped in front of us while repeatedly pointing out the doggy. (Kid was young, training wheels and dad's hand on the back of his seat.)

I could tell dad was getting uncomfortable because kid would not move on and was very fixated on Forte. So I looked at dad and explained that this dog is learning to be a service dog, which is a special dog who helps people. That this dog loves people but needs to be able to ignore them when he's working so he can focus on the handler. And if they had a few minutes, would they want to help me train him.

Dad relaxed and said yes. So I asked the kid if he could ride around real fast and call to the doggy. If the doggy stayed in his down I'd reward him with a tasty treat. Kid was pumped to do so. After a few minutes I thanked them both for helping me train my dog.

As the kid rode off I could hear him excitedly telling his dad "I helped train a service dog. They're really special dogs ". And dad agreed that he did and that he'd done a good job. Kid proceeded to say "I'm going to tell mom I helped train a service dog. Does she know they're special dogs?" To which dad said mom's going to be impressed because she knows those are special helper dogs and their training is really important.

It was such a wholesome interaction.

Omg, I actually did it! I finally joined a queer dating/friendship app!!! EEEEEEK!!! I'm sooooo nervous!!! I literally have almost no queer friends IRL so I don't have anyone to get excited with me!! 🥳

One of my New Year's resolutions for 2024 was to put myself out in the world more and try my best to be more social, meet new friends (as well as potentially find a partner), and explore all my passions, hobbies, and interests with like-minded people.

As a very shy bisexual woman, it's so hard to meet other queer people, especially when you live in a more conservative area. So when I joined a queer dating/friendship app I was was SO surprised to see how many other lesbian/bi women were located near me.

Also, for some reason I've always had this super toxic thought in my head that queer women wouldn't be attracted to me because of the fact that I'm S U P ER femme/girly and I think I look very 'straight' to the average person assessing me. Trust me when I say I was genuinely SHOCKED at the matches I was getting like??? Why did I think such terrible things about myself and my sexuality? I feel really silly for thinking that and I've realized that I have a lot of inner work to do regarding my sexuality and self-worth.

This is honestly such a new, exciting experience for me and was so healing for my mind and mental health to just be able to communicate and talk with other queer women. I know this isn't writing related but it's really not something I can share with other people or on my other social media (yet) so I knew I had to make this post bc I'm just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!

It honestly makes me wanna cry a little. It's a very emotional feeling and also feels so freeing to just BE MYSELF and not have to hide my queerness or be afraid that someone is going to find out I'm bisexual and act really awful/disgusted towards me, you know?

Regardless of whether I find a partner or make new friends and whatnot, I'm super proud of myself that I'm not denying this part of myself anymore. I'm exploring my sexuality with people who know what it's like to be queer in this crazy world we live in. It's a really awesome feeling. 💕💕💕💕

Anyways, if you've made it this far thank you so much for reading this silly lil post and wish me good luck! Happy New Year!! 🎊

DunMeshi perfectly nails the found family trope, by the way. every character is equal, but distinctively different and makes up a part of the whole. Senshi feeds the party, because that's what he's good at, and what he knows. Chilchuck might scold everyone for being idiotic and stupid, but that's not because he's their dad, it's because that's his personality. there's no hierarchy or structure, no roles for the characters to fall into

it's a family by choice, and i fucking love to see it

got a contract attorney position that is EXACTLY in my wheelhouse and i'm SO pleased cause that means i'm employed for the next four weeks and that'll get us through the month of april i.e. the month we're gonna pay two rents because we're moving

just life situation ramblings utc

i may have found the perfect room.

aside from the rent (which is twice as expensive as what i'm paying rn), the room looks nice and i already know the house + location + house rules + landlady, since i already went to view another room in the very same house prior to today.

i just feel like i'm indirectly being told it's the right place by whatever power is running the universe atp, because i already liked this house the most out of the other options ー it's just that the previous room i saw was a little small and it's been claimed by another tenant now. but then the landlady contacted me again and offered me a bigger room with the same price because the tenant is moving out at the end of this year. which is perfect because i plan to move next year. and just today i found out the gym franchise i used to regularly go to has an outlet 4 stations away. it's ticking so many boxes aside from the 💰, but i think that's something i will have to put up with regardless, because all the other rooms want the same price or even higher these days.

going viewing this wednesday. wish me luck 🤞🏻

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR LUPUS ANTIBODIES

that secret that you knew / but you don't know how to tell

Life got more interesting when I learned that everything is an argument, everything is political, and everything is deeper than it seems. Everything is the product of something, and it's up to us to figure out what that "something" is. We are interesting as fuck! We are deeper than you think!

It might seem really tedious, but recognizing this has made me so much less incurious. I now want to learn about us as people. Everything is deeper than it seems.

First look at Bill Skarsgard as Eric Draven and FKA Twigs as Shelly Webster in The Crow (2024) (source)

!! THIS IS A POSITIVE POST !!

I'm going to see Moulin Rouge! on stage this weekend with my friends and I like dressing on theme. The problem with this particular show is that it's very sparkly and I don't own any particularly sparkly clothes lol. Instead I'm trying to reference Christian more, but make it gayer.

The lighting is terrible, my hair's not done the way I'm gonna wear it cause I haven't decided yet (up? down?), and I haven't chosen accessories yet, but what do we think? I'm toying with using two Hadestown pins to pin back the lapels of the vest - a red flower and a red 'Wait For Me' - to give it some visual interest and because Moulin Rouge is inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The multiple layers of on theme there bring me joy lol

For a necklace idk though, I could go with the faux antique brass rose necklace that I wear a lot, it's a great piece, or should I go with a little gold chain? Maybe a pendant? Or maybe I skip the necklace and wear glasses chains...

There's part of me that wants to wear stockings and a garter belt under the shorts but I do have to meet up with family for other shit pre show and idk if I want to field comments on that. Plus that's a long ass time to wear a garter belt and most of it is sitting in a dark theater where no one will even see so yeah I think I just talked myself out of it

Outfit ideas from moots very welcome, I'm being indecisive lol
