A new addition! Like what the freak!?! So talented

(He also drew the ones next to it. Just found out. Thought someone else drew them because they're a different style)

DUDE. Look at this!

From that same friend who says he's "not an artist"... (first pic)

[fluffyamphibian]

The fact that this is just a quick little doodle, barely takes any time at all, for my friend pisses me beyond the F off!

(not really just being dramatic. Proud of his talents.)

Does anyone else find sorting cards by suit oddly satisfying/calming? I don't know if it's just a neurodivergent thing or what but I find it very soothing...helps me calm down.

(Took me an embarrassing long time to get them straight and had to force myself to stop otherwise I'd had to get a ruler and measure everything/make it super straight.😅)

Hate that I'm thinking

About your very being

You couldn't care less...

Shit post haiku

I don't know who needs to hear this but:

-"it only hurts a little" is still pain

-"I can ignore it" is still pain

-"I can cope with/manage it" is still pain

-"it's bearable" is still pain

-"I can push through it" is still pain

-"it doesn't hurt that much" is still pain

-"it doesn't stop me from doing x" is still pain

You don't need to be in agonizing pain to be in pain.

I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr??  

I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.

Some irl animal lore:

Spotted hyenas once had ranges that stretched far outside of Africa and into more northerly latitudes across Europe and into Russia. It’s possible they could have reached the British Islands via the land bridge that formed due to lowered sea levels (it is referred to as “Doggerland”).

When you don't give into a really strong impulse and realize days later that it was a good decision

That rarely happens (the not doing the impulse-not the regrets afterwards those happen plenty)

yesterday at the game shop someone asked me when I started 3D printing. I told them a couple years ago, it was really easy to get into, sometimes I make things for commission, etc etc

then this person, this child, looked me square in the face and said "do you think it's too late for me to start? I'm almost 17..."

17

almost 17

ALMOST. SEVEN. TEEN.

when I tell you my soul left my body over this child, this mere not-even-17 year old, thinking they were already too old to start a new hobby, lemme tell you, I did not know how to respond

so i need yall to repeat after me

it is never too late to start a new hobby

it is never too late to start a new hobby!

it is never too late to start a new hobby!!

you wanna learn to crochet at 47? go off king! learn to paint at 69? nice! learn embroidery on your death bed?? it is literally never too late!! you don't even have to be good. it's absolutely wonderful to see people who are just ok or even bad at something doing that something unabashedly and at whatever age they happen to be

[fluffyamphibian]

That feeling when you've been depressed for days and you finally get a good day is unmatched... hang in there I promise it gets better <3

[fluffyamphibian]

Lmao🤣 so true!

[fluffyamphibian]

My head kinda hurts

I'll just do it in silence

In all honesty

[fluffyamphibian]

I think drawings were you don't look at the paper and don't lift up your pencil are so fun

You only look at the person your drawing

Just did this one a few seconds ago and I think it came out really well

[fluffyamphibian]

I'm like a little bird. I love tearing up paper.

Umm...I just peeled an orange and it was purple? Like freshly peeled and outside looked perfectly normal.
