Actually life is beautiful because the sound I make while trying to breathe around hot food sounds like my dog trying to eat an apple. When I yawn my cat tries to put his face in my mouth like a little dentist man and when he yawns I put my finger in his obligate-carnivore trapzone and we both know he will not hurt me. When I do not fold my clothes, they do not hold it against me.

I am demonstrably sad, and lonely, and full of fear. But there are other people who will hold my hand, who will point out the hawk overhead, who will give you That Look in a public place. The other day at a coffee shop a child said “look! It’s snowing!” so all of us strangers went to go look out the windows. It wasn’t the first snow and it won’t be the last but wasn’t it lovely, like that?

How wonderful to live in a world where birds and frogs both say beep! How wonderful to have an ocean of beautiful sharks with their dinosaur teeth! How wonderful the moon and her changing face, how wonderful the bees and their dancing to communicate, how wonderful shrimp and their forbidden layers of vision! How wonderful, you, and what you will give the world! The way we love things enough to spend entire blogs devoted to them? How people will let me explain my Pokemon team to them? How we will both jump at the scare in the movie, how we laugh so loudly, how it feels to give someone your baking? How wonderful to be alive. I am sorry for forgetting.

This is the process of getting better. With wonderful people and wonderful strangers and wonderful friends: I am getting better, slowly. Thank you, whoever you are. In some way, you’ve been wonderful, and left a wonderful place in the world to ripple out to me. In some small way - isn’t it beautiful - I promise, you’ve been helping.

ok so

everyone knows about this meme, right?

but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!

This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.

She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:

He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Look how happy she was to hear that!!!

anyways, I hope she has been able to continue her love for baking since the restaurant closed down.

I decided to start doing YouTube videos! This is my first one, where I redesign Pokemon from Legends Arceus.

I redid this older comic I made for my storytelling class based on this post. Have some cute wlw love in your day.

It’s hard, if I had more free time I could make it so pretty, this is what I could throw together for the assignment.

Team RWBY as Pokemon Trainers! Maybe part of a larger project later

[deadblogviolet]

This is basically how they got together

wish there was a non rude way to be like “I understand your criticism, I don’t even necessarily disagree with it, but I am doing these things on purpose, because I like them and I want to, and therefore your opinion has no value, because you might think me painting a room entirely pink is tacky, but I did it on purpose”

My favorite part of the Neo/Roman ship dynamic is definitely the part where Roman’s just like “wow that’s weird. Not gonna dwell on that too much.” The first time she saves his ass but NEO hears who he is and immediately goes “don’t care. saw him lookin like drowned sewer rat with fear in his eyes. need that kinda freak in my life.” And flies off into the sunset with him the first chance they get.

International lesbian day so true. (This is a redraw of hiroya1610’s art on Twitter)

Hmm, isn’t it curious that Blake has a concept design where she was a calico with blue and yellow eyes? And that Yang’s concept art includes her with a very noticeable turquoise in her palette? That’s a very distinct color that looks oddly out of place on a design that seems mostly finished…

Bonus: that scrapped encounter between them in the Emerald Forest

Counting the days until Penny comes back ;_;

I’ll also accept the angsty route where “Penny” doesn’t remember Ruby at all
