I’m realizing that with the way I interact with the real world, I could very much make the case of being an alien trying to learn about and blend in with the human race

I don’t know if that makes sense, but the way I act sometimes, you’d think I don’t know what a person is

#I’m not saying this as a negative thing #well I mean okay objectively it probably isn’t great #but this isn’t like a put myself down sort of thing #I just act strange #no wonder that one girl genuinely thought I was homeschooled #also you guys probably don’t see that much of it #because here I can act semi normally (or at least normally for tumblr)#but take me out of my element and put me in the real world?#yeah no #I don’t know what I’m doing #so I must observe #learn to blend in #hmm maybe I could make that into a narrative for Creative Writing #quite literally have my main character be an actual extraterrestrial trying to observe humans #file that idea away #real life stuff #school stuff #random stuff

i love being late to trends. my new years resolution is to be late to every trend ever. and you know im serious because im even late to new years.

(theres an inverse version of this by @chamiryokuroi , you should go check it out! i started making this before i saw theirs, but i think its cool that now theres both versions)

#art #fanart #digital art #dc comics #bernard dowd #timber #timbern #tim drake #tim drake fanart #bernard dowd fanart #red robin #red robin fanart #dc fanart #i dont usually do more graphic styles like this so it was a fun challenge #theres so many little parts to the original that i had to notice and include #i didnt wanna download or make my own heart and star stamps just to use them maybe 6 times each so those are all hand drawn #i adjusted the colors of the heart outlines like 6 times before i was satisfied #also the fact that bernard has a red jacket and pink shirt in this changes the color profile completely so i had to change some things about #-the OG colors so it fit in well #but im happy to report that i didnt use any major blend mode layers over everything at the end to get the colors to mesh well #which is a thing ive been doing for a long time but isnt very conducive to actually learning color theory #also also i spent like a full 45 minutes trying to get the text to look right #bc i dint have whatever font that is so i had to improvise with the fonts i did have and a little bit of editing #and then i had to duplicate it for the shadow and outline it and everything #it was pretty fun tho #seeing the end product was especially satisfying #i havent read ‘go for it nakamura!’ but i assume from context clues the little squid things on the cover are-#-calling him a simp/being supportive wingmen so i replaced them with steph and dick #who i imagine are watching bernard and tim’s relationship like a soapy romcom #and occasionally heckling them (affectionately!) when theyre being lovey-dovey

the sun traill, gouache study

#warrior cats #dawn of the clans #the sun trail #gouache #study #this was. a learning process! using sketchbook paper was probs not the best idea but #want to learn how to add more texture/strokes and blend better #probs need to use thicker smoother paper

To me there’s like a line between the Bad Kids who were always themselves extremely authentically and that fucked them up socially (Riz, Adaine, Gorgug) and the Bad Kids who spent a good portion of their lives playing a part and that fucked them up mentally (Fabian, Kristen, Fig)

#that’s why the latter three blended in so well to the popular kid landscape: they’re so used to playing a part #meanwhile riz adaine and gorgug are very unused to being popular and it’s a very big change for them #gorgug to an extent also has to deal with repressing his rage so he does get it a bit #however he doesn’t have to deal with his entire identity and personality for others like the other three #what fucks me up is that fabian and fig are still to some extent playing a part even if it’s changed over the years #a good part of Kristen’s arc is her being authentically herself and the consequences that brought #so she kinda gets that nice reprieve that I feel like the other two don’t get as much #and yeah the two of them have the bad kids and fig has ayda and they can drop the act around them #but they do still have to play a part #(and if you’ll allow me to be insane over fabian for a minute) the fact that outside of the party fabian doesn’t really have anyone he feels #comfortable being himself around is one of the tragedies of his character considering he’s still trying to be perfect for everyone else #even fig is learning to be her authentic self with people outside of her friends and gf and fabian just doesn’t get that #anyways. rant over. just will always be thinking about Them #autism (mads) speaks #fantasy high #the bad kids #fabian aramais seacaster #riz gukgak #adaine abernant #gorgug thistlespring #kristen applebees #fig faeth #d20 fantasy high #dimension 20 fantasy high

#practicing with my friends kitty #a doodley #im getting confused because obviously theres no White so you have to add tons of water to get a really light color #but even when i wait for a base to fully dry #adding a really wettened color doesnt really work out how i want it to #also dont understand how to blend wet on dry base color without lifting the color underneath #bc it keeps happening ...#im literally Learning. this shit is so embarrassing #i know how to get the balance of a LOT of pigment with a right amt of water #but idk how to do the same with less pigment #ANYWAY dis is hahnemuhle 100% cotton cold press sketchbook (the blue label one)#and combination holbein and DS waterkolors #i used mechanical pencil then went over it with watercolor then added colored pencil at the end

After a year and two days, I finally finished this double sided sheep blanket!!!

The design is by Nifty Knitter:

They have a lot of cute patterns and their double knit instructions are are super beginner friendly!

#knitting #knitblr #fo friday #finished object friday #i meant to have this done in August for the birth of my nephew and grossly underestimated my stamina and inability to stay focused #i started this one month into my knitting journey and learned a lot #like maybe don't use a silk cashmere blend for a BABY BLANKET!?

"There's so much love and tenderness and also so much violence and resentment and toxicity and difficulty, that it could culminate in a kiss that was at once intimate and romantic and lustful and the death blow." (x)

I made her a new outfit and drew a Sage the other day <3

It was meant to just be a sketch and I went overboard. I think the legs definitely need work to look better buuuuuut oh well <3

Enjoy!

Also here's a lil image of her without all the crazy stuff.

#sage #cqart #general idea is that her hippy outfit and more feminine features is when she's trying to blend in easier #and she will change out of that look if she begins to be more comfortable around someone and alright with being a bit more herself #Her body and face become more androgenous because shes technically genderless and existed before male and female #and then when women came around she was like “hey thats cool”#I'll stop rambling I've just learned so much more about her lately #kept the biggest spoilers out of here so enjoy :D #also I'll respond to everyones lovely comments in a few days ;_;

I SAW THE TV GLOW (2024)

Owen Isabel & Maddy Tara

What if I really was someone else?

Someone beautiful and powerful.

Someone buried alive and suffocating to death.

Very far away,

on the other side of the television screen.

@eddiediaznetwork event: headcanons ↳ eddie tells christopher "sana, sana colita de rana, si no sana hoy, sanara mañana" when he's hurt, so this is me saying it back to him ♥

English translation: "Heal, heal, little frog's tail, if you don't heal today, you'll heal tomorrow."
