Okay guys

Okay..here me out-

The JL finding out about Phantom due to him being trapped in his eldritch primal form (four arms, lots of wings, eyes, spacey and basically biblically accurate angel).

But it's not because of a fight or anything.

It's because happy fluffy feathered eldritch decided to take a dust bath on the Fucking Moon. Just confused JL watching this eldritch creatures wiggling and flapping up moondust cause his wings are itchy and HE IS SO HAPPY TO BE IN SPACE.

I know I've said it before but I'm saying it again, I just absolutely adore how Danny's eyes glow green in human form when he's getting particularly mischievous, not just when he's especially angry

Like this boy has a built in warning signal for when he's about to be a little menace to society and I love that for him

Imagine if getting core mental trauma was somehow audible or visible. Like you're already having a bad day and you're trying to wrangle two toddlers and a bag of groceries and work was ass and then you hear the sound of something shattering and you just know that one of your kids' emotional core and sense of basic safety just fucking broke and you can't even tell which one it was.

Friendly reminder how to actually use band aids on fingertips because we see people doing it wrong all the time.

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either

"Can I ask you something?" Carmen says hesitantly. "Sure." Mirabel shrugs. "Why do you keep going over there?" Carmen gestures her head in the direction of Casita, but her eyes stay fixed at the table cloth. "I mean, you obviously don't enjoy it…" Instead of responding right away, Mirabel focuses on her work, beading the dozenth necklace, following the pattern that came before. Blue, light blue, green glass, solid green, small charm, beads, big charm. Repeat. She turns it over in her head. There are a lot of things she could say, some not so nice, but all true. She's asked herself that question a lot, and the answers are as complicated as they are simple. She does and also doesn't know why she keeps trying with them. But that's not for Carmen's ears, so she tells her…not The Truth, but not A Lie either; "It's my mom, really. It's like she expects some….miracle. Like we'll have the perfect dinner, and everything will be amazing, and I'll wanna move back in. But I don't. And I don't wanna make her sad cuz I know she's trying, but like…" Mirabel trails off as she looks around at her home, her home, with enough space for her stuff. Yeah, it's quieter than she'd like, and she has to get used to cooking for herself, but it's hers. She does what she wants, when she wants and she doesn't have to justify it to anyone. Mirabel hadn't realized how tense she was until she got out of there. "I don't live there anymore." Mirabel states.

I have this thing where I'll make an AU out of a single scenario I really want to write and once I start building around it, I find other things that I like, and I'll split it into something else, and I'll do it again and again and again until I have like 5 different WIPs with the same premise but they can't exist in the same universe.

So this excerpt from The Jewel in My Eye, Shop of The Lost, Dressmaker!Mirabel and like 3 other WIPs I've never shared on here are all progenies of the same idea; Mirabel moving out of Casita and discovering who she is outside of her family's influence.

This was originally just for Shop of The Lost, it was going to be a biiig fic but there was too much going on and I liked the ideas too much to throw them away, so they became their own au.

Following Antonio's ceremony, Mirabel is desperate for an apprenticeship, she's been asking since she was 12 (she's 17 now) and all the other kids at school started to get them. Everytime she brings it up it turns into a fight, and she can’t get one on her own, no one's excited to get on Doña Alma's bad side. Alma doesn't want the Madrigals accepting money or doing trade, they were given this Miracle to share with others and she's firm on that. Madrigals don't do Trade.

Now Francisco Peréz was a jewler, one of the more successful ones in the Encanto, as they have lots of business outside. He's retired now, and his children manage the business. He's too old to be afraid of Alma, and Mirabel's a nice girl, so he decides to teach her as he's got a small set-up in his home, and when people ask, he tells them Mirabel's "helping around the house". She learns engraving, and goldsmithing and what not, but it's only a matter of time until she's found out.

Alma is furious that Mirabel went behind her back to do this and even more so when Mirabel refuses to quit.

It's not fair that she’s always pushed to the side. It's not fair that she can't even work. And it's not fair that just because she hid it, she "doesn't have a foot to stand on". The family's all, well Mirabel you did technically lie and disobey and you know the rules blah blah blah. She talks to Francisco and he's like, well since the cats out of the bag you can just work at the shop now, my son needs some help anyway.

Which is great news! But Mirabel isn’t an adult yet, so she has to wait. During those months of waiting, her relationship with the family sours (more than it already has), she's kept on a tight leash and can't step a toe out of line. She becomes dissolusioned with the family, and the night of her 18th birthday she leaves the house and starts working at the Peréz's jewelry studio.

And the first thing they do is ship her out town the next morning to learn how they get supplies. Alma tells the Peréz's to fire Mirabel and they're like; oh, uh.....No. The Peréz's are a bit...proud, being on of the richest families in town and Abuelo Francisco said she's working here, so she's working here.

Mirabel is very happy learning all these new things and making her own jewelry and its hard that her family is trying their best to punish her for it. She becomes very distant and throws herself into her work, as the years go by she gets more responsibilities until she spends half her time outside the Encanto, collecting supplies and selling merchandise. Julieta has to practically beg her to visit.

@morimementa sorry this took forever, life has been....interesting since I started this draft. I hope you like it 🙂

“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.

adhd is fun bc everything I got taught is backwards

a good day makes good sleep

starting with a lil treat gets the work done

More things to do is less overwhelming

don’t make a plan just get in there

you’ll never take good care of what you don’t like so throw it out (this one is my favorite bc it’s easy to see what you don’t like)

I see the radfems out there saying that every man who's ever been born is a psychopath who's constantly looking for an opportunity to commit a felony and then I remember this one time I was really struggling to get a shopping cart out of another shopping cart and a dude came over to help me, but he couldn't do it, and then another dude came over to help him, and then another came over because it was a challenge he wanted in on, and then I had 3 guys all tearing at a stuck shopping cart, and literally none of them even needed a cart.

And when they got it out, they fist pumped and I said thanks so much and one of them said "easy." And then they left.

And it's like.

I don't think radfems go outside.

12 frames of animation I made using knitting! I spent a long time on this and I’m so pleased with the results, really looking forward to trying more ‘yarnimation’ in the future. Process video out now too! 🐑
