Sketch for a short video I might put onto my YT channel? 👀

-also yeah I’m having Steven Universe brain rot rn what of it-

[ID: a pencil on paper sketch of two young women. One is tall and white with freckles and long, brown hair, and the other has blonde, curly hair, but you can’t see her face because her head is turned to the brunette. The brunette smiles down from a tree, her hair and dress flowing in the breeze, and the blonde looks up at the brunette from a swing hanging from a tree branch above]

I prefer the second option, where there is no space between the number and am/pm, but that’s not really accepted in publishing/formal writing...

Top 5 themes to base characters on

The cycle of violence for suree. Keep on going. I'm sure if you hurt enough people you'll retroactively erase the victimization you endured.

The ultimate meaninglessness of the world and our actions in it, and how people cope with this notion.

The violation of being defined by somebody else.

Sunk cost fallacy. If you quit now it will all have meant nothing.

The fear and desire to leave the metaphorical womb and all the complications thereof—growing up as an analogy for achieving a higher level of existence, stunted development, the desire to die as a fear of the adult world.

Hey! I've decided to take up your recommendation of learning a martial art now I'll be in one place for long enough for taking classes there to feel worth it, and I was wondering if you had any advice for how to pick one. I could just stick with taekwondo since I already know some but I feel like trying something new might be more exciting & therefore more motivating. (Also taekwondo probably wasn't the best for me bc I am not very flexible and there were a lot of high kicks, I only picked it bc it was what my school had available)

awesome!!

sadly I know very little about other martial arts. my initial decision-making process looked roughly like googling "martial arts near me" and checking on places with a decent rating to confirm it's not totally bullshit, lol. and then trying out like, two. my current reasoning is that once I have established some level of competence in my current art, only then will I look to expand my horizons.

vaguely remembered impressions: kung fu is probably bullshit. jiu-jitsu is potentially more practical than most, but involves a degree of very close physical contact that freaks me out. a limitation of many striking arts (karate, taekwondo, etc) is that they don't have a lot of stuff for very close combat or ground fighting, which you need irl. but the advantage of that is I don't have anyone's ass on my face every day so I'll gladly accept it

stuff with weapons sounds very exciting tbh but I never looked into it because there's none near me

anyway I would recommend exploring on youtube and reddit, probably. youtube for seeing what they're like and reddit for opinions in relation to various properties you may be interested in (or wish to avoid).

also most places offer a free trial class ime. probably finding a place with a good vibe that you feel (relatively) comfortable in and good instructors (competent but also not dickheads. unfortunately there is a very high prevalence of dickheads) is going to be more important than the specific art. I think a lot of the core skills gained, especially for beginners, are very transferrable.

theodore nott, pansy parkinson & draco malfoy in ANTE MERIDIEM

“And what did Pansy think of that?” Theo asks, cautious.  “Pansy thinks that Draco is insane.” Pansy said, on her own behalf.  Theo quirked a smile. “Theo agrees with Pansy on that topic.” “Draco thinks that people who talk in the third person should be burned at the stake.” Draco said, snatching the book from Theo’s hands.
