"This is a song about wanting to liberate yourself from things that genuinely bind you, and feeling as though the last little bits of those cords will never quite be off your skin. It's called 'Never Quite Free.'"

the idea for this one has been bouncing around my head ever since i read tbob last summer...ford's emotional arc in the book — specifically in re: beginning to overcome his deep shame over having been abused — is really important to me and i think about it every day of my life. the other thing i think about every day of my life is never quite free by the mountain goats

what about mabel my friend mabel

WALLS ARE DOORS / DOORS ARE WALLS

I. The Myth Arc - The Body / Dark Inclusions - Nadja / Emotional Terrorist - Thou / Consuming Guilt - Youth Code / MAY FAILURE BE YOUR NOOSE - Lingua Ignota (A Situation of Meat - Pan Daijing) II. Black Dog - Gazelle Twin / Naked - Dreamcrusher / The Shadow of God’s Hand - Uniform / Shame - Author & Punisher / Spun - Chelsea Wolfe

i haven’t done a fanmix in years but this one sort of happened by accident. so please enjoy this sludge metal/drone/noise concept mixtape (linked up top) where “side A” is from bill’s perspective and “side B” is from ford’s.

+ obligatory “this is a very personal piece that is very explicitly about abuse and i can see all your tags so don’t piss me off” caption

Revisited your blog again and made me smile after crying a few moments ago.

aw i'm so glad! i've been in a bit of a drawing slump lately so it's really nice to hear that people still have a good time going through my older stuff. thank you!!!

[badwaves]

thank you ford "go choke on glass" pines for your service. i'll let you get back to filing that interdimensional restraining order now

bonus:

[badwaves]

this took longer than i thought it would because i got really carried away but as promised: fiddleford small naturals

EDIT: I know i drew his foot backwards i'm too lazy to fix it. pretend fiddleford has one backwards foot canonically. For me

[badwaves]

I Prommy.

THE SAD TRUTH: i think they would both be far too susceptible to the weed that makes you scared to smoke regularly in college

[badwaves]

been playing disco elysium with some friends and was quietly tickled by how close fiddleford's canon wardrobe is to harry's. So please enjoy this extremely stupid post

[badwaves]

I literally love your art so much

I just found your account and I can’t stop scrolling

I’m not gonna pretend I’m not on my work break, trying to keep myself from stimming

Literally dude I love it so much it gives me a stomach ache

thank you very much for these kind words!! ^_^

hey every! two updates for my new pinned post:

1. since cohost is sadly going under and i hate every other website, tumblr is now the only place i will be posting my art—except NSFW stuff, which i will be uploading to my neocities page (and linking here in cropped preview form).

2. i'm taking simple sketch commissions since money is a little tight right now. hmu on ko-fi

[badwaves]

I LOVE YOUR ART AAAAAAAAAAAAA

thank you very much!!

[badwaves]

sorry i'm literally always only thinking about them. Anyway if you'd also like to see there's a bonus sketch on my cohost 😇 RIP cohost, it's on my neocities now

[badwaves]

the sticky notes spelling out “I’m gay” / “autism swag”… absolutely amazing Easter egg, thank you
