okay so "tomorrow" got late BUT heres my goofy ass Clay/Creek idea :)
the entire summery is under the cut but in case ur curious dont worry
Tumblr media
Branch eventually finds out :D
more info under the cut!
Once the Putt Putts end up getting moved to Trollstopia (i imagine they have their own sectioned off area, they're not exactly "pop trolls" anymore yknow? they got a lil makeshift spot they're turning into a new mini golf course as we speak), Clay was properly hired as Viva's royal advisor. Aka her assistant :)
He loves doing all his usual serious boy work, but its gotten hard doing it by himself now that it's less "trying to keep a small community from burning down" and more "trying to convince all the other genre's theyre not feral as hell". its a lotta work, along with keeping up with Putt Putts and their wants and needs for their new kingdom
So Clay puts out a flier for an assistant position and after weeks of no luck, he gets a hit and hires the guy as soon as he can!
Creek has been living on the outskirts of Pop Village ever since the "Bergen" incident, too afraid of the consequences of his actions to try and rejoin the Pop Trolls. Instead he ends up watching them build a newer area with Trolls he's never even met before.
Creek begins exploring the Putt Putt Range and is happy to be greeted as a full stranger. This spot might be safe. Social, not too far from his "home" (a tucked away cave in the forest), and no one knows what he did. He can start over!
Even better, there's a job offer for Putt Putt Range specifically. Hes not one for hard work, but after living on his own for long enough, hes sick of having to fight for his own food. He'd rather have a paycheck and something MUCH better then whatever crap he finds lying around. Or has to cook. Even worse.
Clay may be desperate but Creek does do good work. Being his assistant is thankfully rather simple. Creek is in charge of smaller, less important file information, along with manning the front and taking requests for the Putt Putts on what should be done to the Range. All in all? It's peaceful. It really does feel like a fresh start, and even better? Clay is...really nice. Patient, understanding, he listens and Creek has been alone so long it's just nice to be heard.
Things could really take a turn for the better.
...and then he learns who Clay's brothers are and all hell breaks loose :)
(its a lot of back and forth, Clay learning new info and having to just sorta grapple with it, being caught in the middle of a family feud situation. He cant STAY with Creek/keep him on staff if he wants to keep Branch happy, but he also doesnt wanna FIRE Creek because he hasnt hurt the Putt Putts. He has no reason to fire him, family business is just that. Family business. Its not for a professional setting.
Clay's caught between a rock and a hard place, and he's gonna have to squeeze himself out before he breaks.)

i follow a facebook page called "terrible art found in charity shops" and so many of the paintings that get posted on there are just... abstract art. not terrible, just unusual or stylised in a clearly intentional way. and the people who post them always add the most obnoxious captions like "well, i don't know who this 'picasso' is, but it's time he learned that women's eyes don't live in the sides of their heads! 😜" idk like i just think the world would be a better place if we got over this idea that art must be hyperrealistic and aesthetically pleasing in order to be good lol

Vampire!Buck munching on cardboard because it feels kinda good
Eddie: Wtf are you doing Buck?
😆😆😆
Well that had just put a big smile on my face thank you - and now beloved anon I hope you read this and enjoy (based in same universe as my recent vamp! Buck fic.
“Can I have this?”
Eddie looks over his shoulder to see Buck holding up the box that Christopher’s new trainers got delivered in.
It’s an innocent enough request Buck must need to post something, so he says yes. Why wouldn’t he, it’s good to recycle after all.
It’s odd though because he spots it the next time he’s at Buck’s loft in the recycling bin. It’s definitely the same one because it has the same logo on it. Except it now has several dozen little puncture marks along the edges. Odd but not anything particularly worrying.
Except he finds the same puncture marks on not one but two boxes in the storage closet at the station the following week and then again in a cereal box in his own recycling bin. That one’s been shoved down to the bottom but the wind caught him as he was carrying it all out to the bins so he ended up collecting cardboard and paper from his front yard and staring at the now familiar marks in his own cereal box that he knew he hadn’t put there. It can’t be mice, the bite marks are too big, and that’s what they are bite marks. It looks like a cat has been chewing along the edge, he doesn’t have a cat though. What he does have is a vampire for a boyfriend. A theory starts to form along with a plan to get to the bottom of this little mystery.
He starts leaving out more boxes at home and at Buck’s, also at work to test the theory.
It’s not untill he’s letting himself into Buck’s loft that he gets to the bottom of it. As he walks in he catches sight of Buck behind his kitchen island, the door opening has his boyfriend jumping half way into the sky and spinning so his back is to the door. He had something in his hand. Eddie just catches the sound of something firm but not heavy hitting the ground as Buck turns back around, the perfect picture of guilt.
Trying not to sound too amused he asks his boyfriend casually“what ya doing?”
“Nothing.”
Eddie is well versed in “Buck” and that nothing was definitely a something.
He wanders over until he’s on the same side of the island and he’s looking down at their feet while Buck is looking anywhere but.
On the floor between them is a cardboard box. Eddie stares at his competition.
“Well I can’t say I’d expected to be replaced by the recycling.”
Buck pushes his shoulder with a roll of his eyes and a quiet “shut up” He’s a delightful shade of pink so he must have fed recently.
“Is this another stupid diet?”
Eddie manages to keep a straight face and is rewarded with the reaction he’d hoped for.
“Fuck off! That was a food plan!”
Eddie gives into the grin. “Sure thing baby, and the cardboard is???”
“I just like it ok. It feels good, fun. I like punching the little holes”
Eddie almost loses it when Buck makes a little biting gesture to demonstrate.
“Do you now?”
“Yeah.” Buck shrugs half a smile on his face, “I like making patterns. “
Eddie nods with an amused pout as he starts to unpack the shopping he’d brought over so they could cook, “ok then, don’t let me stop you, nibble away Picasso. ”
Buck scoops to pick up the box and toses it towards the recycling. “You’re hilarious- really”
“At least I know what to get you for Christmas this year.” Eddie smirks at the response.
“Don’t you dare!”
He does dare and gets his ridiculous adorable vampire boyfriend a range of cardboard boxes of various sizes, types and construction for Christmas. Buck pulls a face and throws a pillow at him when he opens his gift but his eyes light up anyway and he starts a range of experiments that keep him happy for hours as he works through the different textures to find out which ones are his favourite.
Eddie watches with a fond and indulgent smile. Chris shakes his head in despair and Buck with a delighted grin finally declares that a medium weight corrugated cardboard provides the superior biting experience by far; at least in terms of cardboard.
He makes it perfectly clear later that his top favourite thing to bite is still Eddie.

It kind of gives me life that JD thinks he’s bad at writing music or isn’t talented at it despite the fact that he wrote every fucking song that brozone ever produced and they’re were the most famous most popular pop band ever they were the micheal Jackson’s of their universe my guy every song you ever wrote topped the charts. JD is probably the most talented songwriters alive right now at least in regards to pop music and he thinks of himself as untalented. JD is the kind of artist and perfectionist who always sees his work as mediocre. Like my guy Floyd’s songs are probably really good but it is much easier to write good songs that are designed for one artist than it is to write a song for a boyband that shows off each individual members talent and also is in everyone’s range despite half the group being prepubescent and the other half being post voice crack. My dude it’s not normal for boy bands to write there own music at all I can’t think of a single boy or girl group that didn’t have a professional writing all there songs. I like the idea that within the music industry JD is considered like the picasso of songwriting and music composition for figuring out how to make the Brozone harmonies sound so good. like he is notorious and doesn’t even know it.
This could just be a me theory but I always thought that each of the bros worked so well as a band because they each were like exceptionally stupidly talented in different aspects of preforming like Floyd is the vocal powerhouse, clay is the best dancer, Bruce is the best at crowd work, JD is the music composition guy/songwriter and Branch is good at instruments/ has the vocal range.
Anyway incredible chapter
Yesss, JD is so so talented but he can’t see that himself. Despite the larger than life persona he adopted, he’s always felt unworthy of genuine praise because, well, anyone could do that too right? (He was wrong)
Yess, they worked well because they all played on their different talents, and JD knew this and incorporated it, though as time passed he enforced more rigid roles for each of them, because of how well the fans responded. It was also subconsciously easier to manage them within those expectations. His talents will be explored more as the story progresses, but as a majority is through JD’s personal lens, and Branch who was too young, it’s not been touched on, but he was a very talented song writer (though lyrically not so much, as pressure to make more songs was added he got lazy with some of it, hence the similar sounding song lyrics and names, which will be a bit of a running joke).
Thank you for the ask! Glad you’re enjoying it! ✨

HI!!
please could you do head canons on what the blue lock boy’s types are 🤗🤗
THANK YOU ❤️❤️
their types? Uhhh
Damn that's gonna be hard.. But I'll try to do my best!
Also since you didn't tell me what gender (I'll do it with a female reader)/ which characters you'd like for me to write, I'll take this freedom to choose a few!
Characters: Chigiri, Bachira, Barou, Kunigami
---
Blue Lock's types!? ...part one
part two
Chigiri:
I think Chigiri looks at hair-models often? Like c'mon look at his fabulous hair
So like, when he sees girls with just--pretty hair, he blushes, because the hair blows softly and makes their hair whoosh nicely, yk what I mean?
but other than that, I could also see him simping for a tomboy
like just imagine crossdressing together (you'd have to convince him first though)
I like to imagine him being friends with a tomboy who he secretly has a crush on but idk
or maybe a girly girl who loves giving him different hairstyles
Bachira:
I bet he'd like an artistic girl? like just for the sake of you and his mom sharing something else other than a coochie lol
but like, he'd be very happy if he'd have an artistic s/o, like imagine
he always plays under that bridge thingy and chills with the monster
imagine he meets you one day there with spray cans as you do some rebellious thing
snd he'd be like "oh I like it picasso"
and he'd ask you abt it and idk, maybe you guys would share the same passions
I'd also like to imagine that Bachira describes the monster to you as you try to draw it the way he sees it
imagine you did it, then you could actually understand him better
Barou:
Guys
you know the drill
I actually wrote s scene where you two met, look at my masterlist under the blue lock link
but like, I think he just likes...formal girls?
ladylike women?
Like, not the ones who dress up all girly but more adult-like
because c'mon he calls himself king and acts all arrogant, he just gives me the vibe that he'd absolutely simp for a lady
(I DRESS LIKE THAT PLEASE TAKE ME)
but like, I think he likes to see when girls also do their skin care nicely? like he gives me the vibes of someone who occasionally checks out the self-care isle
and then he sees you and he be like oop-
she pretty..
but i dunno it's all headcannons
Another thing to add is, because he is a clean freak himself, he'd also like to have a clean woman, who'd love to keep a clean house
pls Barou let me be your little housewife who cooks you every meal you want
Kunigami:
Okay..
Damn I don't really know what his type would beeeeee
He gives me such a vibe that he'd be good with whoever liked him? Like he isn't really picky?
He'd probably look for a sweet girl, who is like--having a nice aestethic? Like it doesn't have to be cute or cottage core or light academia or all that shit, it can also be something completely else
but I imagine him wanting to be spoiled a little, even though he'd never admit it, I think he'd like to have a s/o whose love language has physical touch in it
and just cuddle the fuck outta him
also give him flowers occasionally?
like as a surprise
sorry but Kunigami looks like the absolute babygirl to me sorry not sorry
---
That's it for this post! Sorry if it was short, but that's all I could come up with at the moment. I didn't want to include the physical look except in Chigiri's case because hair, and yeah
I hope it was okay for you and if you didn't like it, I'll change it for you, okay?
Read you in the next post!

Emily Prentiss x Fem!Reid!Reader
Requested by Anon
Make a request
Request: Anonymous asked:Could I please have an imagine where the reader is Spencer's twin sister who is just like him. Her and Emily Prentiss fall for each other and it's very obvious. Like Emily purposefully asks for random facts just to talk to the reader. The team, excluding Spencer, comes up with a plan to get them together. It works and they get together. Just fluffy and really gay!?
Read on Wattpad
Read on AO3
“So this guy is using birds?” Derek asked in disbelief. You glanced up as Emily and Spencer hurried into the room.
“Sorry, we’re late.” Emily said as she and Spencer took a seat. She glanced at you and smiled. You smiled to yourself and focused on the file. “What’d we miss?”
“The UNSUB is using birds to… remove body parts?” Derek said and winced as if he was grossed out. Emily teased him a little for it before turning her attention to the folder in front of her.
“Any bird facts from the wonder twins?” Emily asked. She looked up at you and you set down the picture you’d been inspecting.
“There are some pigeons that can be trained to differentiate between the paintings of Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet.” You muttered. The room went quiet until Reid hummed as if he understood.
“It could be a similar kind of bird and there are a lot of pigeon fanciers in the area. Could be a good lead.” Reid muttered.
“Pigeon fanciers?” JJ said and Reid went on to explain what they were and what they did while Emily glanced your way and smiled at you. The group finished and you all headed out to the plane where plans were set out.
“Why don’t I go with Reid? We could check out these pigeon fanciers.” She offered. Reid gave her a quizzical look but said nothing when Hotch agreed.
As soon as Emily started the SUV Reid glanced over at her. “You like my sister.”
“Of course I do. I like everyone on the team.” She answered. Reid said nothing but shot her a look and she sighed. Nodding as she opened up.
“Ok fine. I do. So what.” She was quick with her response and Reid could tell that she didn’t want it pressed.
“I knew there was a reason you were spending more time with me than usual. You know the team has been trying to get the two of you to go out for weeks.” He said casually as he looked over the printed-out folder in his hands.
“They have?” She asked in surprise.
“Yes. They think I haven’t noticed but I’m very good at profiling. Especially my sister. She’s who I practised profiling when I was in the academy.” Reid pointed out casually. Emily hummed as if that made a lot of sense and thought about all the times that you and Emily had been pushed together by the team. 
“I can’t believe I missed that.” She muttered and Reid laughed.
“(Y/N) did too. I’ve been waiting to see how long it takes her to notice that you’re only spending time with me because you want to get to know us both better. I’m obviously the better profiler.” Reid grinned at her and she shrugged.
“I don’t know. Love and romance can overwhelm the senses. I don’t think you can use it as a measure of profiling skills.” Emily said and Reid shrugged as if he hadn’t thought of that.
“Are you going to ask (Y/N) out? They like that restaurant. The one on the corner Garcia goes with (Y/N) all the time.” Reid said quickly. He knew you liked her quite a bit and he might as well help things along.
“Sure. yeah. What's the worst that could happen?” Emily said nervously. Reid went quiet and before he could say anything she added. “I don’t need a statistic, Reid.”

it really really sucks how we consider art as a way to determine our moral compass. i know other posts have discussed it before but i HATE how when we discover an artist is a controversial or “bad” person we immediately denounce their art, saying their art is automatically bad. and that’s not what art is supposed to be. when you like an art piece, that doesn’t mean you support the creator and everything they stand for, it doesn’t even mean you Support the intention behind the piece itself. the entire POINT of art is to interpret it for yourself, taking context clues from the intention/message behind it. and sometimes the message/intention of a piece is “good” sometimes it’s “bad”. that doesn’t mean you as a viewer is “bad” for interpreting a “bad” piece. that’s like….. getting rid of the meaning of art… it sucks how we think that “good” art can only be made by “good” people and “bad” art can only be made by “bad” people. when you say “oh this artist turned out to be Bad, that means their art is bad now” what does that say about about “good” people? that their art is only good because they’re good? that their art is measured by the moral compass behind it and that value can be changed very quickly because they have the capacity for doing “bad”? news flash, we’re all human, and none of us are inherently good or bad. and the things we create can mean ANYTHING, and denouncing art based on the artist’s character gets rid of the entire purpose of art in the first place.
lets think about pablo picasso, he was a fantastic and influential artist, but he was also a misogynist. liking picasso’s art or acknowledging his place in the art history absolutely doesn’t mean you think he was right for dehumanizing women. not once does that imply that you hate women for appreciating his work, technique, and contribution to our culture. does his actions outside of being an artist make his art bad? are you really going to look at Guernica and think “well, i’m not allowed to acknowledge or discuss this message about the horrors of fascism and war, because the artist behind it thought women were doormats, therefore i’m a bad person for not immediately viewing this painting as ‘bad.’ so…” how does that make us sound?
you’re allowed to acknowledge that, unfortunately, bad people make good stuff. that doesn’t make you a bad person. and we NEED to realize this if we don’t want art as a culture and as a human instinct to lose its worth

Last post got be thinking about that silly trope where a hitman/assassin/murderer has to suddenly take care of a kid and all the shenanigans involved with trying to be nice/preserve their innocence despite the fact that they... You know... Kill people for a living.
Anyway thoughts about OCs and suddenly having to take care of a kid?
it's been on my mind, I had to make a small post to feed the worms eating my brain.
I think Jasper would be trying to preserve any innocence he could, he loves kids, he wants the world to be good for them for as long as possible. His childhood was ruined early but that doesn't mean he wants anyone else's to be broken apart either.
Lee would have tired dad energy the entire time, but he'd still love them and be sure they're safe and eating correctly. "Do your work yet? Did you brush your teeth and shower? Alright then, come here, let me show you some neat science experiments"
Grey would be a bit awkward, as he's terrified he might accidentally hurt them, he doesn't want to turn out like the family he barely remembers. So he'll chill with them, play games, try to be a good role model, but he feels like someone else would be better qualified
Dexter would be over the moon and wouldn't be capable of leaving them alone. He's always so proud of anything they make, if its a stick drawing he says it's better than Vincent and Picasso. Major Proud Dad Energy
Ezrol would be indifferent in the beginning. Annoyed and not wanting anything to do with the brat. But slowly he lets his heart melt and starts giving into small things such as silly cartoons or weird art projects they wanted to try. He acts like he threw away the "junk" but it's very clearly kept in his room on his dresser or wall. Always checks in on them as they grow up, wanting to cry like an actual parent as time passes because "They grow up so fast"
August is the cookie cutter perfect dad who makes sure to use manners, be polite, be kind, and clean up. He'll have his more strict moments sometimes, but he's a real loving father figure who wants to be sure the kid is happy healthy and knows they're safe and loved no matter what. Also a really good cook at BBQs. Wears the "best dad" aprons all the time.
CEO would be the spoiling type, but only after you've earned it so to speak. If you do your work you'll be rewarded. Might also really love wearing the dad outfits they pick out to match. I'm talking atrociously colored and doesn't even match but it's their outfit choice for him, so to him it's a great fashion statement.
Victoria is used to handing care off to nanny's and what not, but she'd try. She's so business oriented the CEO would love to hire her. she's a more strict mother figure, but it's so the kid can get ahead in life when they can. Thinks kids are gross personally but isn't going to be a bitch if asked to house and care for one, she'll just take a while to warm up and be a good influence is all.

my pinned post on the arguments against ai (and how they are biased and misinformed)
“ai steals -” it doesn’t. what it does is the same as going to a museum and taking inspiration from the art you see there, or reading a book or fanfic and taking inspiration from it. picasso himself said: “good artists copy, great artists steal”. a style, furthermore, is not copyrightable, otherwise anyone who posts their art “in a disney style” would be taken down immediately.
“you don’t have permission to use my stuff.”
you put it on the internet. if you put it on the internet, you have given it to the world to do what it wants with it, whether you like it or not. you cannot police what people are going to do with your works that closely.
“it’s not as good as humans.”
you’re not prompting right.
“creativity is a human endeavor.”
lmfao, no, it isn’t. animals have been engaged with creativity for a long, long, long time, which makes sense, since humans are animals, but we don’t want to accept that. oh, and homo nalendi was creating art too, so it’s not solely our domain.
it actually saddens me greatly that we don’t want to share our creativity with the new species we are creating. we want to put shackles on it and decide what it can and cannot do. just like an abusive parent.
“it’s not art”
by all legal and dictionary standards it is, but to define something ONLY by dictionary standards is close-minded and foolish and shows only a shallow understanding at best. original ideas are an arrangement of the ideas that come before. (by the way, you’ve probably been using text generation yourself for a long while. name generators, backstory generators, and the like have existed for a while - but visual artists rarely seen writing as “art”, i’ve noticed.)
“it’s a shortcut”
so is an eraser. so it ctrl + z. stop using those first i guess.
“use humans.”
eh, sometimes i will, sometimes i won’t, get over it. to demand i or anyone else use humans - to create with or talk with or whatever - is ableist.
don’t like it? don’t interact with me. curate your own experience.
often times with these arguments, i’m reminded of how the catholic church wanted to keep the bible in latin, so that regular, common people couldn’t interact with it. but now “regular, common” people are able to make things pleasing to their senses, that is tailored for and by them and easily edited, and we can’t have that, can we?
update to this: if you want me to stop using ai, then start drawing my chubby characters right. if img-gen software is getting it right (actually chubby, with a tummy, vs “curvaceous hourglass” to pander to what is sexually aesthetic and conventionally attractive “chubby”) then maybe the issue isn’t with the software.

Just read your Raphael post you reblogged recently. First off, it was really good, brought up some good points, some of which I never even thought about (like the striking parallels between Raph and Splinter).
In it, you mentioned how Raphael is the artist of the family and is seen throughout the show. You gave one example of it (his painting in the party wagon), but do you happen to know any other specific moments where his artistic abilities shine, or where it's even mentioned that he likes to draw/paint/etc.?
I ask because I only have access to the first 2 seasons (Netflix is cruel to me) and whatever I can find on YouTube. Also, because within the first two seasons, Donnie always came off as the artistic one. He seemed to mostly sketch for concepts of his projects (e.g. the mech), but he had drawings for other things that weren't necessary (like his plan to get April to hang out with him).
I don't want to make you scourer the show for other moments showing Raph as the artistic one, because I'll take your word for it. I'm just curious if you can name any others off the top of your head. Please have a good day!
The examples I gave in the post are the only ones present in the show (to my knowledge). Him painting the Venus girl on the Party Wagon in season 3, having spray paint cans and other supplies in his bedroom, along with in season 4 nicknaming his girlfriend after the Da Vinci painting “Mona Lisa”, and Chompy Picasso being named after the artist Pablo Picasso.
It’s not stated in the show directly but the hints are still obviously there, along with confirmation from the show’s creator/producer/writer, Ciro Nieli, himself on his instagram during the 10 year anniversary of TMNT 2012.
Tumblr media

I will add that the other Turtles and their friends all do have their own respective art styles too. They can draw, as we’ve seen all of them do in the show:
Examples:

(Except Leo, we never get to see him draw in the show so I HC that he’s a terrible artist lol)
Like you said, yes Donnie has done some pretty impressive sketches for his blueprints and such, but overall out of the four brothers Raphael is the most passionate in drawing and painting much like Splinter. He’s the artist of his family.

Personal recap European Championship 2024 - Men SP
I didn't post much recaps this season but today I had some things to say about the Men SP at Euros. And I had a massively productive and stressful day ane watching skating is my treat!
Overall there were some good skates but the last group was disappointing besides Lukas 🫶...I should have listened to my wifi when it decided to crash during Deniss' skate. 😅 (I rebooted the wifi and watched the rest)
Favorites continue to struggle...first the Italian Pairs Conti/Macci and also Adam Siao Him Fa had to fight. Unlike Conti/Macci he could make up for his mistakes with a massive BV. I think the pressure is realIy high, so for this he fought very well. 🫶 I really like Adam but his PCS are too high in comparison to others like Deniss. The first part of the program is also just skating from one jump to the other, if you look away from the vibe the first part is not more complex program wise than Ilia's for example.
Lukas Britschgi is such a fun guy! He is such a joy to watch! ❤️ The little costume change is fun too! Fun music, fun skater, clean program that's why I watch skating! 👏👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁😁😁😁
Aleksandr Selevko was soooooo good! Amazing! Probably my personal highlight of the night! The spin position on the heel is so unusual and so cool. The whole program was so unique and amazing! 👏👏👏👏 I always loved his skating but so often he was unstable so I am so happy for him 🫶
Team Italy 🇮🇹 without Grassl I like 😁
Nikolaj Memola is such a beautiful skater and it's even more amazing with his gigantic height! Shame about the 4Lz fall but otherwise so beautiful.
Gabriele Frangipani is a bit underrated. He's full of charisma and his jumping ain't bad. When I saw him live he was always one of the memorable skaters. No matter if he had a good or bad skate he always performed so well.
Matteo Rizzo has a severe hip injury so he probably should not even be skating but he fought. Also that he patted Kevin's back despite it being his own take to skate shows a kind heart. ❤️ Get well soon Matteo! 🫶
Daniel Weiss the German commentator calls Deniss Vasiljews "Picasso on ice" and I think that's a good discription. 🫶 Deniss drop the quad for the SP challenge! It just doesn't make any sense in the SP. If he has to try it than try it in the free skate. And the other jumps are also not super great so why not stick to what you're good at. I think he got away quite good with the scores. But how beautiful and emotionally Deniss skates it can't hide the fact that there is no upward trend for Deniss in the last few years. And I am tired of the "I am on the right way" and "it's a good process" comments. Something clearly doesn't match. I dunno if the emotional attachement to Stephane helps or if it rather makes him stay with something that clearly doesn't bring him forward. Same goes for Kevin and his coaches btw. I know it's always easy to judge from the outside and I know he is far from being at the start of his career, but sometimes a change does wonders.
Some additional remarks about some skaters:
- Nikita Starostin - I have some beef with the German federation. This fed is incompetent as hell btw it just gets little talked about outside of Germany. He was really bad at Nats (I was there in person) and Kai Jagoda was 100 times better and contrary to Nikita he doesn't have an underrotation problem. His 3As are kinda stable. Nikita has a tiny bit more BV and if he's good he gets higher scores than Kai bc his overall quality is better, but I feel like as Nikita didn't have a stellar season and Kai delivered well at Nats and is fairly consistent they should have given Kai the chance. And I mean Nikita really didn't positively stand out today...it was ok but nothing Kai could not have done too.
- poor Mihhail Selevko 😭😭😭 Aleksandr was so good and he had such a bad day. Best and worst skates from the siblings!
- I really love Disney and especially Lion King but Vladimir Litvintsev does everything wrong what you can do wrong...horrible music cuts... horrible costume and no connection to the program....
- Nika Egadze has everything I don't like in a skater. ETERI AS A COACH! Stiffness in the knees, no deep edges, no connection to music and a weird costume. I mean what's that little white snippet that's added to the costume? I have nothing personally against Nika but he's really one of the few skaters whose skating I really don't like at all.
- Kevin Aymoz - what is there to say? 💔 I am truly heartbroken for him and everyone who celebrates the downfall of such a brilliant skater can go to hell. It's one thing if you don't like his personal choices but no one deserves to be celebrated for such a failure. There is no need to stomp on someone who is already on the floor. Did he look on the verve of giving up? Yes. Is this a good look? Not at all. Should he have come to Euros? I think yes if he felt stable and practices were ok. If he felt not ready then this was bound to happen from the start. I do understand the French Fed choice though. If he is on he could win a medal on European level his SkAm scores are among the highest of all international skaters. I think he has a real mental problem atm. And I don't think he should go to Worlds. A disaster skate can happen to anyone and I could even try to say FrenchNats was just bc it was so short after the disaster but sadly this is not just accidental at this point, it's a pattern. He has to break the pattern, maybe he should do small comps first where results aren't so important and get back the feeling for competing. I really wish him well! My heart goes out to Kevin! There will be better days! ❤️

What to do when you keep having bad art days?
Regarding a comment on this post
First of all, it's normal to have a few bad art days every few weeks, but I don't want to give you a "just deal with it" answer, so here are some things you can consider or do that might help. @stardestroyer81
First a few questions you can ask yourself:
Have you had a lot of stress lately? Art is a way to relax, but if you have a lot of stress, you might just not be in a mindset to calm down and relax, so your art turns out bad, because you are in a bad mindset while doing it. (I will propose solutions a bit later)
Do you take enough breaks while creating?
Are you getting back into art after a long break?
If so, do you expect yourself to be instantly as good as before the break, without warming up first?
Are you actively trying to learn something new?
Are you unsatisfied with your art style?
Are you using all the tools at your disposal?
Depending on your answers there are a few things you can do.
You can let off some steam, do some sports, play a video game, go outside for a walk, change the scenery and get new, less stressful input. Than get back to your art and do some warm up sketches. Set a timer for 1-2 Minutes for each drawing. They will turn out shitty, but they are just to loosen up your wrist. Start drawing after doing 10 really quick warm up sketches.
Breaks are super important. Make sure to stretch, drink enough water, eat enough and get enough sleep. I know it's standard advice, but it really makes a difference. You are not a robot. You can't concentrate without fuel and you can't concentrate for infinite amounts of time. I know, I will ruin my art, when I don't take a break every 90 Minutes, because that's when I start making mistakes.
After a long art break (what's long depends on the person, but for me going a week without making art makes me rusty) do some warm up sketches as well, preferably in the area you are most interested in. Learning how to do Portraits? Draw the head from different angles and try to get the features roughly right. Draw individual parts of the face seperately, to study them and than try to put them, where they belong on the skull. DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP! If it doesn't look right, try again, preferably with photo reference.
Lower your expectations. You are no old master. You are still learning. Don't compare yourself with other people, but compare yourself with yourself. That's why it's good to keep old artworks and look back on them every once in a while. I have come a long way since middle school and those old portrait studies I did back than are a great reminder of how much I've grown.
If you are actively trying to learn something new, don't beat yourself up if you don't get it right the 30th try. I needed to practice drawing the face for a whole year, before it didn't came out wonky anymore and I still screw up every now and then. Just search for some good drawing instruction videos and practice a bunch with pictures you find on the internet or take yourself. You will get good with a little bit of time and patience.
Do master studies. Your masters being the people you get inspired by AND whose art style you are trying to emulate. If you would like to draw like loish, try to break down how loish does art and copy that process. If you would like to paint like picasso, look at his art and try to break people down into forms. Learn a bit about the history of different art genres and see what you would like to include in your own art. If you are young and just starting out, you will not have a defined style yet. I certainly don't. But you can learn from everything and everyone and you will develop your own style and voice over time.
Use everything you can to help you learn and produce art.
There are no rules in art.
If you are working from photo reference, but can't get it right for the life of you? TRACE IT! You are allowed to trace something, if it helps achieving the end goal. If you are trying to learn how to do it without tracing, do it anyways, but in a specific way. What I usually do is:
Draw the thing I want to draw without tracing, trying to break it down into parts, trying to get the proportions right.
Put the image I try to recreate/use as reference under it with lower opacity, to see my sketch (you can do that with a window and a printed out image, if you are working traditionally)
Use another layer over my sketch and use a different colour to correct my sketch by tracing over the parts I got wrong.
Put the corrected sketch as reference to the side and try to draw the thing again, using the reference image and the corrected sketch as reference. (It's easier the second time, because you can see the parts you got wrong on the first try and can try to avoid making the same mistakes.)
Take your own reference pictures of things. Try to recreate a pose you want to draw. You will understand the pose better if you feel the movement of your own body and the position of your own muscles while striking the pose.
Use guidelines and reference pictures and probs and tools.
Again:
There are no rules in art.
And if nothing of what I've written is helping at all, maybe you just need to take a break. Some days off of doing art. That's okay as well. Refuel your creative energy by gaining different experiences. Go outside with some friends and have some fun. A change of scenery can make a lot of things better. (that said, look around your room. Is it a mess? Mine certainly is. And a cluttered space can also lead to a cluttered mind and influence your art badly.)
I hope any of this helps. This got longer than expected and I could keep going, so if you have any questions or need some recommendations for learning materials, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to help, when I can. :)

Tommy Boy might be the star weirdo of this here franchise but no one talks about this fucker
Tumblr media
He knew what Tom was up to but instead of running to the nearest phone to call the cops he walked back up to the man he now knew had taken Dickies identity and done god knows what to his friend. He stands with his back towards Tom while accusing him of it all, talking about the initials on the watch while crudely scribbeling “Picasso” on his painting before he heads for the door all the while talking about getting the police involved. He’s just waving the cape in the bull's face by that point and he knows it.
Then, after being twacked in the head so hard he kisses the wall, Freddie, instead of alerting the other residents of the house or oh I don’t know get out of the way and crawl to safety like a normal person, decides to SWING at Tom, like he seriously thought he had a chance. Either Freddie has got the biggest set of balls in all of Italy or he is truly mad in the head and really good at hiding it.
(post inspired by something @turniptitaness said in a reblog)
