there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart

[amy-sanscale]

would you still like me even if i experienced emotions

saw someone say "an 11-year-old isn't even supposed to know what sex is and if you do something horrible must be happening to you and you need to get out of there" like can we be for real for a moment. have some people honest to god never heard 11-year-olds making sex jokes in their life

Hey! All of your drawings do not need to be completely unique from one another. Do you know how many versions and replicas of his Sunflowers Van Gogh actually did? Just draw that naked guy ten times. Reuse that colour palette. Do that pose again. Follow your heart for real, no one can care as much as you do.

Hey, artist

It's okay to

Keep character designs fluid or inconsistent

Mess with your art

Leave things unfinished

Make something ugly

Make something lazy

Do something else

Switch projects on the fly

Leave ideas for later or never do them at all

Make things easy for yourself

Love, compliment and enjoy your art

Not improve

Be cliche

Be repetitive

Leave something behind with no further justification

Go back to something with no further justification

Not make anything

Remember why you do art. Remember what you enjoy. Prioritize yourself

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

in third grade on the swing with my friend i announced “i figured it out” and my friend said “figured what out” and i said “the meaning of life!” and being third graders this was very exciting so she leaned in and i whispered in her ear “it’s to have fun” and i don’t remember her reaction but i remember how i felt and how i knew so clearly that was the answer. how my small mind was beaming and shimmering with this answer that makes me scoff today but i know that they were right. i was right

hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?

you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?

and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community

it was all too much, and now I have nothing left

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

watching gen z and millennials make fun of gen alpha has been torturous. "But they're actually stupid" 1. theyre middle schoolers 2. isn't that what older gens said about us? don't you remember being 11?

it truly is just "impulse reaction to cringe <- has not yet unlearned shame"

the cycle continues let me out of here

guys. guys I think we should kill cringe culture

[amy-sanscale]

only letting each of my mutuals learn one piece of personal information (legal name + email, photograph, vague location, etc.), so that the only way to defeat me is via the power of friendship

[amy-sanscale]

cleaning along desire paths

[amy-sanscale]

Im surrounded by people who are annoying and stupid and also people who are so much smarter and more hardworking than me and basically im going to die

[amy-sanscale]

making thibgs... to send people

[image ID: a black and white line comic titled Broken Cups about Wilbur and Schlatt in the afterlife.

Page 1 (P1): Wilbur pours liquor into Schlatt’s mug from a flask. Schlatt asks him: So. Why’d you do it? A hand touches a crack as W says: You know how when there’s a crack in something, you can’t help but pick at it? Two panels of Schlatt and Tubbo, neck down, on the podium. W continues: Like there’s no use in patching it up, and the best course of action is to -

P2: Hands break a pencil. W: Break it beyond repair? Alivebur is jumping into frame, away from an explosion, rifle on his back. He looks like he’s about to kick dead Wilbur in the head, as Schlatt looks up at him. W: Give in to destruction? Or…

P3: Pogtopia Wilbur grimaces, trying to look happy. W: If you stumble, nobody notices. Alivebur falls forward, shock in his eyes. W: If you trip and fall, everybody does. A trio of panels show Wilbur’s hand dismissing his flask and summoning a teacup.

P4: Two silhouettes of L’manburg Wilbur and Pogtopia Wilbur. L Wilbur has chips in him, while P Wilbur is covered in cracks. W: A chipped cup stays chipped. A shattered cup gets put back together. Schlatt leans over to Wilbur in silhouette and asks, So you blew up a country… as a cry for help? Wilbur leans back. I couldn’t tell you if it was a cry for help, Schlatt.

P5: Wilbur’s hands hold Chekhov’s gun, a hunting rifle, lightly. W: Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn’t. Pogtopia Wilbur stands above L’Manberg. W: People don’t always remember their reasons. Schlatt looks ahead and says, Broken cups get tossed more often than they get fixed. Was your cup fixed?

P6: Wilbur holds a fist to his mouth. Arm extended, he drops the teacup. The final panel is a low shot. He looks at Schlatt, arm still out, with the teacup in pieces at his feet.
