anyways here's to 27 I'm so grateful for the trip around the sun i just completed and the opportunity for another year aging is a gift I love being an adult and for those who are not yet or don't really feel like one it really does get better
Doctor, respectfully, if Jeremiah returns saying "rootin' tootin'" one more time, I may threaten to sue.
Hey, now wait just a minute-
I'll have you know Rootin' Tootin' is a time-honored staple of country vernacular. You can't just outlaw a whole multi-use word (did you know it can be a noun, verb, and adjective? That's just plain economical!) just because you don't like it.
That said, I'll make sure to introduce him to a few more of my more... interesting and colourful country idioms, just so there is some variety in there. I can sympathize with having to hear the same one over and over again. I've got one about skeletons getting frisky on a tin roof that I think he'll get a good laugh out of that I've been saving for the right moment. Looks like the time has come!
(I was going to actually share this on Thursday, but my life is falling apart today and I figured I'd share art with the world to cope!)
Figured I'd take my first stab at some art completely and totally unrelated to FFIX and this blog, let's gooo. ๐บ
We'll start with some more mer-stuff, MerSal and MerKuja aren't the only mer-things I've shared, no, no. There's lots more!
Some finished, some still WIPs until further notice; all Mer. ๐ ๐๐ฆ
And yes, the dreaded angelic merman with the sax is back. ๐ท๐งโโ๏ธ
"He's not gone, he's never gone!"
(I've shared this guy on Twitter for random stuff at least three million times. He's also my header. He's omnipresent. He's always there... hahaha!)
๐ค Still hoping I'll manage to make more progress on at least one of these WIPs here next MerMay, but... I dream big, and can only do so much...!
(And yes, those drinks, pineapple and all that stuff in the last one are placeholders. The end result won't look that tacky, don't worry.) ๐
Anywho... on that note, I added a new tag:
#and now for something completely different ๐จ
Please blacklist that tag if you want to keep things FFIX and FFIX adjacent! I'll be using it for every single post that is unrelated to this blog from this point forward.
I DIDNT SCREENSHOT MINE but it means ur smart as fuck elv ๐ญ๐ญ mine was like 22,000 and it said i know as many words as a white collar american man and i took that offensively
horrible kill kill kill. aside from the obviously bad quality of the book recs what annoys me most is the obsession with reading as many books as humanly possible and making reading a productivity competition. older generations never viewed reading novels and such as a big deal it was like watching a show or a movie etc. but now it's a part of the endless productivity race and that really sucks all joy and meaning from it :( another thing that's so sad abt it is that reading has always been a very personal experience like it's just u and the book and the world it has to offer but we're all so obsessed with sharing everything and making it relatable rn that even that is stolen and even that is used as a medium to get more attention online which is empty attention anyway but it breaks that sacred relationship between the reader and the book :(
๐ธSorry for the long ass absent guys ๐ซ family and holidays have been crazy๐ฎโ๐จ
I recently came across this short monkie kid wild West AU fanfic
It's short but it's really good, And it sort of got me in the mood to sketch or at least redraw the two mystic monkeys cowboy outfits again
I really wasn't sure whether to give Mac, purple boots or just black boots you can kind of see it in the first pick faded Mac.
๐ธ๐๐ดโจBut I don't think I've seen anyone draw them with horses or write something about it, so I'm going to be the first one to do it! (I don't know how to draw them sitting on horses, so bear with me here.)๐๐ฆ I know I put the scar on the wrong side of the Smokey Horse. My bad, let's just pretend it's on the right side.LOL๐ ๐ชท
๐ฝ๐I headCannon that when those two summon their horses together, they get really affectionate. The sheriff's horse is more like a big old golden retriever, playful and mischievous, and rarely ever listens to its owner. While over here, Mac's is more well-behaved and obedient, and they can get quite sassy sometimes. I'm not sure what to call it. It's hard to separate those two, so they try not to summon them at the same time.
They're also very affectionate to the monkeys especially the opposite ones.๐ถ๐โจ๐
๐I want a scenario where they let the horses stay instead of just poofing them out of existence so MK/MEI can play with the horses just a bit longer since they were begging them by giving them the puppy dog eyes (especially on Mei's side; she's a horse girl fan), and after a long while, the sheriff notices that his horse Nimbus was acting a little more strange and protective over the Smokey horse, letting them eat first, and just never leaving their side. All sorts of strange behavior on the Nimbus side. All he ever notices from the shadow horse is that they were a little sluggish, but he doesn't think too much of it.๐๐ค ๐ต
๐Until one day, BAM! This little cutie came into the world as a precious, adorable little cinnamon roll, prancing around like it owns the world.๐ง๐ฝ๐โจ
๐There's stupidly protective over this little guy.๐ฟ๐ก๐ฆ๐ดโ๏ธ๐๐
๐ดAnd there's a huge problem. This little guy is clumsy as heck. He's new and everything, so of course he is, but he likes to adventure out without his horsey parents knowing or anyone else, and he loves playing games like tag his favorite, but because he's so clumsy, he causes damage that MK or his mentors have to fix, so everyone has to be on high alert and watch over the little rascal. LMAOย ๐๐ผ๐ฅ๐โจ
๐ธI hope you enjoyed this, I certainly had fun drawing this I wish there was more wild West monkeys fics there's some freaking cute๐โจ
๐ฅAaaah! I love these freaking cow monkeys ๐๐
