i know a lot of people have mentioned this, but i’m just obsessed with the way taylor refused to sanitize herself on this album. she’s telling you everything. she got off to gross men whilst already in another relationship. she fell for the most obvious lies because she wanted to believe them. she was mad at anyone who tried to warn her. yes, she’s still mad at you for clutching your pearls and watching her like a circus animal btw. she’s having his baby—no she’s not! she just likes trolling. she does really want babies, though. like a lot. she felt like she’d been abducted by aliens and found cosmic love, but in reality, she was manic. and then he fucking ghosted her! and he didn’t even measure up in any measure of a man!!!!! and now she’s devastated by him and his predecessor! she feels like a wondrous prophet one day and the desperate victim of a curse the next. btw he knows how to ball and she knows aristotle. and fuck kim k! also man sex with certain men kinda fucked her up, but at least the writing that came from it defined her legacy. the manuscript isn’t hers anymore. she hopes this insane ass manuscript won’t have to be hers, either! free her of these stories.

I'm just realizing how wild it is that they let a ridiculously powerful fey creature set up a team-building scavenger hunt for them.

Do you think Marika regrets it? The fact that her choices messed up all of the ones she loved?

you saw me making a sketch about Ayrton looking at Alain, so now I deliver the one where Alain is looking at Ayrton.

What do you think Mary Goore smells like?

Anon, if you only knew how much time I spend thinking about stuff like this... you'd probably be embarrassed for me.

I think Mary smells like smoke with a dash of sweat and dirt in a powerful pheromones kind of way and less of an unwashed way. They're not picky about soaps and they'll use whatever is there, but they do care what product is in their hair so there's usually a hint of coconut.

mostly thinks cologne is a waste of time and money, but they'd lean toward woodsy and leather scents. If we get real specific, I'm gonna say sage and leather the way that these incense smell (notes: sage, marble, leather). A mausoleum themed scent? Good luck getting that away from them.

will steal your lip balm and your favorite lotion no matter the scent or flavor.

I actually don’t remember what that alien in the power of the doctor whom appeared as a child was called, but I object to the insinuation that it had no plot relevance to be there. 

There’s a reason it appeared to 13 as a small girl, one needing saving after having been taken, experimented on, used to augment the power of somebody else’s evil empire against their will. 

13 symbolically saved the timeless child. Saved herself. 

A little girl is found by a scientist, one who loves to explore the universe and left their people to see it all. Once upon a time the person who found the child was a monster. They weren’t the hero. They didn’t see this child as a person, a miracle, somebody who could do amazing things. They just saw a potential benefit to Them. They hurt and harmed this child and did horrific things to them and dumped them when their usefulness had been expended. Nobody saved this child, nobody even got to remember they existed. Eventually they save themselves.

The cycle repeats.

A little girl is found by a scientist, one who loves to explore the universe and left their people to see it all. Once upon a time, a long time ago, the child this happened to had nobody to save them. Not this time. The first child saves them, the first child looks upon this one and sees not an opportunity but an incredible and beautiful Lifeform who deserves to be free and happy. She tries to protect them, puts herself in danger to save them. They won’t leave a child behind. They cannot stand a child crying. 

“One of the greatest mysteries of the universe” the first child says of the second, with no urge to defile it. Not want to harness it. Nothing but awe. The urge to set her free. 

The first child says “I’m sorry for what was done to you. I’m sorry that you were taken and have been harnessed” because she Knows what it’s like to have it happen to you. She knows what it is to look at the person who did it and see them defend their actions as if they did nothing wrong. The first child had no part in harming the second, this was somebody else, but she apologises to them anyway, knowing they need it. 

13 saves the child she was, the one whom never had anybody to care, by saving This child. 

The Doctor breaks the cycle of abuse. 

There’s a reason that a random generator isn’t used to power the master’s plan. This is full cycle.  

This is the doctor being the hero person they were denied.

I cannot recommend this enough: get yourself a crack ship.

Find yourself a pairing of characters (romantic or not) who absolutely have no business interacting and make yourself stupidly invested in their dynamic. Make it the most niche shit imaginable tailor it to yourself specifically.

Seriously though it'll help you understand the full meaning of creating art for yourself first and foremost because who else is gonna make content for your crackship? You're the one who thought it into existence!

Hiiii how are you?? Id like to request farah finds out reader is ticklish and uses it agenist them when reader is in a bad mood and being rude to everyone

(Sorry if this is really silly btw🫶🏻🫶🏻)

Hey! I'm doing well! Got a surge of motivation to write before therapy! This ask was just the right amount of silly actually! It was very fun to write!

Cheer Up Tickles with Farah

She’d likely find out when she wraps an arm around your waist and her fingers twitch a bit for a moment, making you react a little bit. Unfortunately, she’d pick up on that immediately, raise her eyebrow and give you a knowing smile. It’s a slightly cocky one as well, because she knows your weakness now, so if she ever felt like it, she could destroy you. Farah might poke you from time to time, but it usually won’t go farther than that. However, if you’re being especially grumpy for no reason whatsoever and you’re being rude to everyone, that might change.

At first she’d just poke your side, gauge your reaction. You can cuss her out all you want, she’s not going to let up just yet. It’s then that you can either cheer up and apologize to her, or feel her wrath and tickles. However, given your ask, you don’t cheer up, instead noticing, with horror in your eyes, that you messed up. Farah would wiggle her fingers at you before pouncing like a tiger that got its first prey in three days. Although she may go easy on you at first, letting you struggle so you feel as though you have a chance of getting away, there’s no way she’d just let you go like that. You can squirm all you want, you’re trapped underneath her since she’s a very strong fighter. You’re not going to escape her grasp, you’re going to get tickled and teased to oblivion and back. Once you’re calm, she’d start teasing you a bit before going in for the kill.

Farah wouldn’t even hesitate to be gentle in the beginning, she’s gonna get you good from the get go, straddling you and squeezing your sides. Try to throw her off all you want, you can’t. It’s fun to her if you struggle a bit as well, it makes it all the more challenging for her. While she may not know just yet where your weak spots are, she’ll find them quickly enough, staying in one spot for a few moments before switching to your armpits, for example. If you trap her fingers there she’s gonna have a field trip. No matter how much you’re laughing at that point, she’ll tease you about being less grumpy already and how you’re smiling like a goof. How adorable you are and how she should just tickle you more often when she has the time to do so.

Naturally, she’s a leader, so she needs to make sure all her loved ones are doing well, therefore she needs to check up on your ribs as well. Counts them, prods at them, vibrates her fingers between them to make sure you haven’t sustained any injuries. If you’re completely healthy, then she’ll say so, but she also needs to make sure your tummy is in good condition. Lifts up your shirt and starts scribbling away to make sure everything is in order. However, as time goes on, she’d grow a bit hungry and nibble at your sides and your ribs as well. Besides, while she may need to be sated, she also wants to share something delicious with you as well. So naturally, kind as she is, she gives you some raspberries.

However, once she notices your laughter having gone silent, or when there are a lot of tears streaming down your face, that’s when she’ll slow down a bit, before stopping entirely. Your dazed, cute face is just too adorable, though, so she’ll lean over to give you a kiss on your forehead and wipe away your tears with her thumb. Once she sees that you’ve been cheered up, she’ll get off of you, put your shirt over your tummy again and laugh a bit about how tired you seem all of a sudden. You weren’t this tired yet when you were cussing her out still. Pats your tummy one last time and helps you up, even if you don’t need her help. You seem out of it a bit, but not unhappy.

Farah doesn’t mind having tickle fights with you every once in a while. However, be warned, if you ever decide to tickle her first, then I can assure you that she’s going to get her revenge. Besides, she can hold her reactions in quite well. Much to your dismay, she’s also rather observant, so she’s going to figure out which spots make you scream fairly quickly. She’s always so serious anyway, so sometimes you just need to let loose and be a little goofy. Loves getting to be silly with you from time to time, even if it’s just through play fighting and tickling one another.

Went off my course a little bit because i always wanted to do this little material ball exercise I've seen from other artists. Some worked out better than others -- I could have spent more time on the meat and water, honestly. But I learned a decent amount!

Rather than work off of what I thought these materials looked like I tried as best as I could to find photo reference and work off of those (which is why some of the lighting is inconsistent tbh -- I broke my head trying to translate some materials with very direct light into neutral diffuse light).

But it was a lot of fun and I'd encourage other people to try it if they want to dip into painting! It was also a good 'reset,' because I definitely got ideas into my head about how materials are represented or work but under actual observation I found that not to be the case.

Also bonus greyscale painting I did for homework as well that I can't figure out where else to put
