Sorry, last one, swear!! I'll try and finish this by the 10th and then I will leave you all alone. I'm experiencing some long missed joy in creating this, please forgive my impatient excitement

This month's herbologist reward is the dandelion! These plants have fortitude, and have followed us irrepressibly all over the globe. They are fascinating, sometimes overlooked but full of interesting folklore and facts! If you like these prints (and more) please consider joining my patreon!

Also, as everyone knows - times have been real tough. I don't want to go into it too deeply, but my patreon has been steadily shrinking all year (understandably) and my costs to run it have risen at least three times. If you're able to share or promote my work, to anyone who you'd think like it, to your followers, to your friends, thank you. It's been a really intense year, and I don't want to be doom and gloom just yet, but things are tough. Thank you to everyone who has supported my work, monetarily, or not. You are the best and the reason I keep creating 💖

WIP - Three hours into my third attempt at this Cody portrait

(This is why you add your bright highlights last. They help pull the picture together enough that you're reluctant to work on it any more, because it is kinda good enough, right)

i am not a taskmaster blog but i AM autistic and a taskmaster fan and this post made me have some emotions earlier today and i am yet to see it shared on tumblr

Person A: “Fucking hell! When you said you were always in some form of pain or discomfort, I didn’t think you meant it literally! How the hell am I meant to sleep like this?!”

Person B: “...Starting to regret the shared senses spell, aren’t you?”

Person A: “I can handle it! ...It’s just a little annoying.”

Person B: “Pfft, Just you wait until I have one of my bad days, then you’ll understand why I was so against this.”

Person A: “...Are you telling me this is a good day?!”

Guys, I have one piece of advice for you that will seriously improve your time on simblr: If you love someone's story, let them know. Leave a comment, send an ask, whatever. Do it on anon if you're scared. And don't worry about coming off as unhinged. Honestly, the more details and rambling you put in, the better. There is literally nothing that makes an artist feel better than having someone tell them that they love their work.

So if someone's latest story post made you cry, tell them! Or if their edit gave you chills, tell them!!! And let me tell you a secret. Nothing motivates people to work on their stories more than knowing that other people love them and want to see more.

Nothing feels better than seeing someone answer your ask or reply to your comment, and seeing how happy they are. Trust me on this. It feels amazing. You'll make their day, and make your own day better too. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be the push they need to open their game and work on the next post.

Oh, and if you want them to love you forever, include details! Say what specific lines made you feel so strongly, or offer theories on what's going to happen next. Tell them who your favorite character is, or what antagonist is making your teeth grind. Storytellers put so much effort into their posts and their writing, and having someone pick up on the details is so immensely gratifying.

i think that ultimately, Minecraft is a game that's meant to be shared. At some point or another, everyone falls into the 'Minecraft isn't fun anymore :(' funk, myself included. Maybe you've defeated the ender dragon more times than you can count. Maybe your creative world is starting to feel a little crowded.

but i think that a huge portion of the joy comes from the company you play with. i know that the cave and cliffs update is a thing of the past, but my brothers and i hadn't gotten around to finding a lush cave by natural means. so with nothing better to do, we've dedicated these past few days to finding one. and you know what? i've been having fun! i've been staying up late because i don't wanna turn my game off! and this morning, when we all sat in stunned silence because the beauty of a cave we had found took our breath away, i was reminded of the joy of the game.

i thought i had discovered everything worth finding, but its experiences like these that make me fall in love with the game all over again. the world of Minecraft is slowly coming back to life, and its not something to be experienced by yourself. there's fish in the oceans and flowers scattered along the hills and fascinating biomes that are in need of discovering! there are new things to love, and there should be people to love them with.
