love how there's a subgenre of alan wake fanart that makes him look like this

i will take nothing from wolverine's exoticized adventures in japan save for the idea that (1) it'd be fun to put claremont era x-men in prime torino and nana era, and (2) wolverine is one of torino's exes

Inbox closing for the next two weeks as I come to terms with the fact that I must yet again write a final paper. (If you see me on Stardew, you DO NOT.)

picking silly titles from libby to destress from reading very serious titles for exams

the thing about eating in public is that sometimes you get to hear an ominous exchange between mother and child that goes “all gone?” from the baby (sitting in a high chair) and the mother says peaceably “all gone” and the baby has an existential crisis in that instant and starts shrieking. yes. me too, tiny baby.

Shih Tzus of antiquity possessed powerful empathic magic that allowed them to understand and react to the moods of their owners. Additionally, they had powers of suggestion that allowed them to influence humans; this was generally used for good (such as soothing sadness) but was often used to mischievous ends too (getting food from the table).

Modern Shih Tzus are a mix of old stock and Pekingese. To that end, their telepathic powers have been lessened but they have gained camouflage. The resulting breed is notoriously quiet and resistant to training!

A world where humans have no innate magic but our pets do.

Cat magic is pretty raw and they mainly use it for getting into places they’re not supposed to. They can be trained if you’re patient, and will sometimes do favours for their owners out if the blue, but only if they want to.

Dogs have been bred for specific magic over the centuries and each breed can do certain things. Showing off your magic is an essential part of a dog show.

Horses come in horse, pegasus, and unicorn, each with their own magical talents.

Fuck knows what birds can do, I don’t trust birds.

What's your favorite Gran Torino art, and what's your fav Nana art that you made? :)

It's the 3/4 head turn + the glowing iris + the color palette + the smeared halo. That's my blorbo. That's my urban angel. i'm love him.

Yes, it's the Supernatural Castiel s13e4 photo reference. I'm attached to this one because it's got more effort with light and shadows than I usually do + it's one of my better attempts at realism + I think the feeling this piece gives (as backed up by the Supernatural Castiel reference) is one of, y'know. Appreciation. The world has beat you to shit, but the sun still shines.

the 5 + 1 fic where kudou and bruce pass ofa like a hot potato should be titled "you, me, and the ghost of yoichi"

I’m sorry but Miss Piggy can pull off Morticia’s fit and demeanor while still being Miss Piggy. Morticia exists as Morticia. Put her in any other fashion besides goth (and goth-adjacent, I’m sure someone could design a gothlita fit for her) and you’d be questioning if that was Morticia at all. Morticia is a beauty sublime yadda yadda yadda BUT DOES SHE HAVE THE RANGE?

the way i want to shake my students by the shoulders. madam you have received a month's worth of extensions due to your genuinely harrowing personal issues. the least you can do is not give me a paper that's like half-dedicated to marketing the Mexican Immigrant™️in terms of their bringing, and i quote, "special customs, yummy foods, fun music, pretty art, and different ideas about the world" into "our communities"
