Senshi doesn't often cook for other people 🧐

I was heavily inspired by @fruit00's Senshi drawing for the way I drew him! c:

1975, black nail polish, handwriting, sunrise, overalls, bands, & beaches! (Frick- I love this list!)

you shouuuuld reblog so I can send some to you :P

1975: what is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise?Literally yesterday after work, The Daiki™ met up with me at the rock climbing center near our apartment.  We took turns belaying for each other and encouraging each other to reach the top of a bunch of different routes.  We got home around 10pm and ordered pizza and watched mystery theatre 3000 on netflix, I was really happy to spend some time with him like that after a really long and difficult week.

black nail polish: do you have a bucket list? if so, what are the top three things?I can’t really say it’s a “bucket list” but there are some things I’d like to eventually do…I’d like to visit another country at some point, I’ve talked a lot about visiting Japan (especially lately, The Daiki™ and I have been joking about celebrating Christmas in Japan so we don’t have to put up with our families this year lol) but I also made it a goal when I was very young to take my mother to Denmark if I ever became a financially successful artist.  She was raised by her Danish grandparents and talks a lot about how she’s always wanted to see the Little Mermaid statue and the Black Forest.  It would make me really happy if I could do that for her since I know there were a lot of things she wanted to when she was younger that she couldn’t because of me.  I’ve been day dreaming a lot about becoming an airplane pilot, too…I just think it would be really cool if people had to address me as Captain Silver, and I imagine driving a plane feels a lot like freedom (problem is, I don’t even have my vehicular learners yet lol.)  But now that I’m thinking about it, I do kind of have a few goals set for myself…I plan on getting a total of 6 ring piercings up my earlobes and each signify something.  The first I got as a gift for my 6th birthday - it signifies when I began to develop individualityThe second I purchase for myself at 16 - as the first step towards independenceThe third I got done one night with my dear friend @malivolus after returning to Toronto after christmas break during my first year of college.  We were wandering around Yonge street and felt like doing something spontaneous - I decided that one symbolized adulthood (I was 21), even though now I laugh about what a youthful thing it was to doMy fourth I did in October about a year and a half ago - I did it to commemorate beginning preparation for @talesofthetempestI don’t have the fifth or the sixth yet.  The fifth I’ll probably do after I sell my first physical copy of my comic…and the sixth I’ll get done after I can safely quit my day job and live off art income.  If I never get there, I’m sure I’ll make other excuses to get them, though :P

handwriting: if you were about to die, and you could only say one more sentence to one person, what would you say and to whom?Hmm!  That’s a hard one, I’d probably tell my sister how proud I am of the person she’s become.

sunrise: pick a quote and describe what it means to you personally.“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.” - Van GoghWhen I get discouraged that I’m not meeting my own expectations, I think about this quote.  I spent so many years of my life convincing myself I needed more training before I started a project, that I should wait until I could make it look perfect when I could have just started and gotten better as I went along.  I regret making excuses for myself - and accepting the excuses of others - to be complacent.  So when those thoughts creep back up when I’m not completely satisfied with the latest page of my comic and I feel like my skills aren’t where they should be, I think about this quote and I get back to work and think about how I will get there eventually and how choosing not to move prevents me from getting there.

overalls: what would you do with one billion dollars?Pay off my student loans, put a decent portion into savings and help my mother out financially.

bands: talk about a song/band/lyric that has affected your life in some wayLyrics are the reason I’m alive, there’s no way I could pick just one song, so here are a few answers to this question off the top of my head:-Airships by VNV nation was the first song I played while getting settled in my dorm in my first year of college.  It almost feels like the shuffle gods picked it for me because it mirrored my feelings perfectly.  I can see the view from my dorm room window every time I hear it.-My father was in a big Red Elvises phase during a summer break while I was in elementary school, both my parents were working at the time.  Because of that, I had to go to my friends’ house every day with my sister so her grandma could babysit us.  I don’t want to say she was a bad friend, but we didn’t always get along.  One day my sister had spent the day somewhere else and I hadn’t had a very good day with my friend.  When dad came to pick me up, he immediately knew I was unhappy.  He tailed an ice cream truck all the way to Edworthy Park from 39th street for me.  All the while singing along to I Wanna See You Belly Dance, Rocket Man and Sad Cowboy Song.-That “Yes sir, that’s me, I’m him” in The Ballad of Bull Ramos still gets me every time, dammit.

beaches: if you had to dye your hair how would you dye/style it and why?If you’ve been following me since before the great selfie exodus of 2016 that I do not have to give a reason for, you will know that cutting my hair and dying it is a great pleasure for me.  Quite a while back, I had both sides shaved and had the rest dyed this really cool gusher-blue.  I wanna grow my hair out again to do that but this time with 100% more man-bun.
