The Creative Cycle

One of the most helpful and life-changing pieces of artistic advice I've ever seen has been Emily Cheeseman (@emcheeseman)'s Notes on Creativity as a Cycle. The original graphic might be difficult for some to read, so I remade it digitally and added an alt text description.

[ID: A five page black and white comic featuring Anya, Jimmy, and Curly from Mouthwashing. The only colors are in their speech bubbles and Curly's blue eyes. The comic opens with a shot of a space rest stop with billboards and advertisements of food, drinks, fuel, etc.

Anya steps out of a "Polle-Mart" carrying a pack of cigarettes, and walks past Jimmy leaning against the side of the building, half in shadow.

Jimmy, smirking: A nurse with a smoking habit, huh? What has the world come to? They stare at each other for a moment. Anya: Just means I can make a more informed choice.

She goes to light a cigarette as Jimmy flicks his hand at her, asking for one. Curly jogs up behind her.

Anya, grabbing another cigarette: Ugh. Curly: Hey, guys! Mind if I bum one? I'll buy you some snacks?

He gives her big shiny puppy eyes. Anya glances in Jimmy's direction as he stares at her before she smiles at Curly, a halo over her head.

Anya: Sure, Captain! That's so sweet of you to offer. Jimmy glares at Curly. He looks at him before turning to Anya again. Curly: Er, can I make that two for two? Anya: Deal.

She passes him the pack as she lights her cigarette before lighting his for him. Curly goes over to Jimmy, handing him one as Anya stands around the corner to smoke hers.

Jimmy: You hit my fucking cig. Curly, smiling: I started it for you!

The last panel shows all three of them smoking calmly, Jimmy and Curly both shadowing by the building.

I think one of the funniest things about the Sabzeruz event is that the devs choose to go with Candace, Traveler, and Paimon having a whole "Ooh, two mysterious men are going into an alley to have a 'private' conversation; they must be bad guys!" only to then go "Oh just kidding, it was only Alhaitham and Kaveh doing typical Alhaitham and Kaveh things."

Except the "Alhaitham and Kaveh" thing in question this time was talking about Mehrak, a sentient robot that Kaveh built using absolutely forbidden technology, and which he then whole-heartedly willed would develop a consciousness of its own, violating one of the central taboos of his nation's governing agency, committing what amounts to an inherent and extreme felony punishable by law.

Alhaitham and Kaveh: Listen, we're not bad guys discussing illegal activity here. We're just two men having a private, personal conversation. Happens all the time.

Paimon, Candace, and Traveler: Oh cool, they're not doing a crime; they're just gay.

But they were, in fact, doing a crime.

Rosary mesh for extra protection. But he's too good at his job and keeps his cassocks impeccable so it never shows.

(alright I admit I had this pose sitting in my wips for weeks an got an idea for it only yesterday evening)

Honestly, yeah, Australia wildlife is probably more dangerous than a lot of places, but living here you don’t really notice because from the time when you’re young you’re brought up to have good ‘safari etiquette’. Don’t shove your hands under rocks where you can’t see, never touch or go within a couple of meters of wild animals, always wear proper thick shoes when out walking, always assume that an injury from an animal you don’t know is something to keep a close eye on.

And a lot of it’s just common sense that you should be doing already. Stay on the bush tracks, don’t leave small children outside unattended, don’t go into water that isn’t part of a public area.

You’re not going to get a sting from a cone snail unless you break the sacred ‘take only photos, leave only footprints’ rule and honestly if you do end up carking it, well, I’m not gonna say you deserved it but I am gonna give you some major side-eye because you’re kinda the one that started it by being disrespectful of Country in the first place.

Which makes it even weirder when some yank comes up to you, talking about how “I could never live where you are, it’s soooo dangerous!!”, and then you see them on the news a day later mauled to death because they got drunk and picked a fistfight with a bear.

DC x DP Prompt: One would think that Danny, being the king of all ghosts, didn't have to answer to anyone. This is false. He answers to Death of The Endless. She terrifies him.

Phantom ducked his head in a bow. “Hello, my lady.”

The young teenage girl across from him smiled softly. “Call me Death, remember? No need for all of the honorifics.”

Phantom didn’t say a word, but his hands clutched as he politely nodded. Batman and the Justice League stared at him, slightly confused. The woman, Death, looked at them next and she waved a little. “Hello. Thank you for taking care of Phantom for me.”

Superman answered, “Of course. He has been a great help and a good friend to all of us.”

Death beamed. Nothing about her seemed frightening, but Phantom trembled faintly as she turned away from him.

After a little more small talk between Death and Superman, she eventually faced Phantom again. “I’ll be leaving now, Phantom. I just wanted to make sure you were doing okay.”

“I’m fine,” Phantom said softly. He looked at her then, with wide eyes. “But— when can I—”

She frowned slightly, but her eyes were full of sympathy and sorrowful affection. “I’m sorry, you know what your destiny is. Until then, I can’t do anything. I know it’s hard, Phantom, but I promise you’ll be okay.”

Phantom visibly deflated from her statement and Death placed a hand on his shoulder. The Justice League immediately tensed, not knowing what to do as Phantom had no reaction, except his flickering eyes as he looked at his feet.

“Goodbye now, Phantom. I’ll see you again soon.” Then she disappeared.

Superman approached and the Justice League checked over Phantom, who was silent and miserable-looking as he allowed them to inspect his condition.

“You are frightened of her,” Wonder Woman observed. “Why is that? Are you afraid of her killing you?”

Phantom shook his head. His eyes were downcast, and his starry freckles seemed dim.

“I’m not afraid of her killing me. I’m afraid of the opposite…. I’m afraid that she’ll keep me alive.”

Rewatched A Piece Of The Action with my siblings and they were very amused at the amount of spirk there was

First there’s Spock trying to Spare Kirk’s feelings over how bad of a driver he is (feelings are illogical unless they’re my husbands feelings)

Then we have a series of completely logical and emotionless reactions from Spock

‘Why is this man touching my husband?’

‘WHY is my husband touching this man? Right in front of me’

Then his look to McCoy after ‘ah, no need for concern, he’s getting me a suit too’

Spock realizing he was kinda into it when Kirk started ordering him around

Then Kirk’s reaction to Spock copying him is also adorable of course

This one’s a bonus since it isn’t really spirk, I just love how Kirk’s master plan was distracting them for a minute and then flipping the table. Spock reacts immediately, naturally, and then it’s all topped off by McCoy executing a beautiful neck chop

All around perfect episode, loved it from start to finish

I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more

Idk I just think it's a crazy thing that on the foreground the magic broom of flying is side by side with Percy's cane, which is way more down-to-earth but no less a reminder of a miracle

[mylastmoleculeofserotonin]

To be clear, Jinx didn’t magically go from being schizophrenic and severely mentally unstable to “just a little quirky and chaotic” from season 1 to season 2. She’s just not living with and dependent on someone who is actively trying to make her mental health worse for his personal gain anymore.

Also, adopting a kid and receiving unconditional love again for the first time in almost 10 years probably helped a lot. As did reconnecting with her sister whom she was manipulated into believing was the cause of her problems and pain.

apologies if this is a repeat ask, I have a terrible feeling tumblr ate the previous before it sent properly, and i have a burning curiosity to know:

has derek ever taken killie to a medieval fair? not the same thing as an american renfair, but it's a fun day out on a summer weekend, and look, killie, they've got horses!

and if killie HAS been to a fair with jousting, what did he think of it?

(i shudder to think what o holy thunder would be like in a joust)

Ahahaha thank you so much for this and apologies for the delay in replying. I’m very proud of my sparkling Friesian

I have to say, while Derek would be easily swayed by the majesty of the Friesian horse, Killie would be scandalised (as many horsegirls are) by their grip on the public imagination as The Prettiest Horse.

You just like it because it’s big and shiny. It’s a carriage horse! It’s anachronistic! It’s barely in condition! It’s like an animated leather armchair! What do you MEAN it’s the prettiest horse you’ve ever seen. Thoroughbred racehorses, which can run at 40mph and look in comparison like a weasel strained through a colander, are the objectively best and prettiest horse. Are you feeling too hot? Do you have sunstroke? Is it sunstroke, that you have?

Do you ever read a fanfiction that misunderstands the narrative and world so badly that you have to close it and stare at a wall for a bit.
