Lilium Longiflorium

SO
I asked my mom what i should draw yesterday and she told me to draw some flowers. BUT simply drawing a flower is boring as hell so i found this GORGEOUS photo of some eastern lilies and made a character out of it!
I tried getting over my fear of coloring and its very much a mess lol dont look at the lighting and shading...
Anyways its a ballerina if you couldnt tell and my dumbass didnt use a ref so the pose is very mid but im proud of the hands lolll.
Her dress is a flower from top to bottom, so the leaves are the piece at the chest, the flower is the skirt, and the stamen is the legs/tights :)
Dont ask me what the bracelets are i was out of it when i drew those
Edit: slayed too hard and made her so snatched that the proportions became wonky help

it was tsukishima’s favorite drink.
It’s around eight AM when you receive a text from Tsukishima.
Where are you?, it reads.
omw there! hehe, you send back. Followed by: i can see the gate!
Ok.
why? do u want to see me already? lol
Tsukishima doesn’t reply, leaving it on Read, which makes you laugh and garner attention from some startled students. Tsukishima always wants the last word. You imagine him grunting and grumbling insults at his phone as he reads your message before shoving it away. He’s so cute, honestly.
As you hurry upstairs, your phone vibrates once again. You pause, reading Tsukishima’s question. What do you want from here? And it’s a picture of the vending machine outside the building, by the school gate. You didn’t even have to run all the way here.
i want to try the new soda flavor!
Ok, he sends back. I’ll give it to you @ lunch.
thank you, kei!!
By the time Lunch period rolls around, you barely have to get up from your seat. Hinata had zoomed off initially, but his head pops back in to yell at you, “Your boyfriend’s here!”
You hear someone mutter a confused Boyfriend?, but you don’t even have to look to check who it is. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi walk in long strides towards your desk. Either of them could be the boyfriend Hinata was referring to, really, so Hinata’s embarrassing volume doesn’t affect you.
“Here,” Tsukishima says, passing a freshly bought soda across your desk and into your expectant hands.
“Thank you, Kei! How much?”
Tsukishima pulls out the chair in front of your desk yet sits opposite from it to face you. “It’s fine,” he says, then brings out his own drink, a carton of strawberry-flavored milk. “Don’t look too happy. I’m here to make sure you study before you go to the club room.”
“Killjoy,” you murmur, but you’re smiling wide.
Yamaguchi laughs, settling on the seat beside you. He has Moo-Moo Milk for his drink for today’s lunch, and instead of a notebook like you and Tsukishima, he has an actual lunch. “Shh. Or Tsukki might take your soda back.”
You carefully shield your drink with both arms as Tsukishima rolls his eyes and urges you to just open your damn notebook already. You oblige, feeling quite giddy. Not only has Tsukishima agreed to tutor you, but he takes it upon himself to go to your classroom, and buy you a drink. Then again… this might be his grand masterplan to make you owe him the world. First, vending machine soda; next, the entirety of Japan.
You sip on your drink, then make a face. It tastes disgusting.
“Oy,” Tsukishima’s stern voice cuts through your thoughts. He’s been staring the entire time you got lost in your train of thought.
You fumble with the pages. “I-I’m listening!”
Tsukishima narrows his eyes. “You don’t like it, do you?”
“Whuh? Math? Of course not.”
“The soda, idiot.”
You grimace at the cold drink in your hand. It doesn’t even feel refreshing—like the way it’s advertised on the cover—it just assaults your taste buds. “It’s alright,” you say instead.
Tsukishima sighs. “Let’s switch.”
“Eh?”
“I don’t like this one anyway.”
“But why would you buy—”
At Tsukishima’s irritated expression, Yamaguchi jolts into action and urges you: “Just go along with it!” Like Tsukishima was bribing you with something illegal. Startled and dazed, you let Tsukishima switch drinks with you.
You both take a sip at the same time. Tsukishima’s expression doesn’t change, but you beam up at him. It’s sweet.
Tsukishima stands and taps on your notebook. “I’ll be back, but you answer items 1–5.”
You and Yamaguchi watch as he leaves. “Where is he going?” you wonder.
“To spit it out, probably.” Yamaguchi snickered. “Hehe. He looked like a chipmunk.”
“Why would he trade if he didn’t like that one either, then? Kei is so stupid.”
“You might beat him on that.”
“What does that mean?”
“You’re pretty stupid, too.”
At times like these, you’re reminded that Yamaguchi and Tsukishima are best friends. “Hey!”
Yamaguchi just grins in a way that spells out he’s up to no good. “You should buy more nasty flavors and make Tsukki trade.”
“Why don’t you do it?”
Yamaguchi shrugs. “So that it actually works.”
Tsukishima
This is disgusting
Yamaguchi
at least you managed to swap saliva
Tsukishima
You are as disgusting as this failed tropical mess of a soda flavor, Yamaguchi
Yamaguchi
hahahaha. you were blushing, Tsukki.

looong post about missing using backpacks and high-school experiences and personal feelings on the general 'busy/executive' look from carrying luggage and stuff. idk lots of thoughts here to summarize
theres this one hole that being done with high-school left me that's just. having a place to go. being busy, sort of..
having a backpack full of trinkets and your pencil case filled with clips and highlighters. or the rare bunches of printing and colored paper for the art projects or those mathematical rulers you used 3 times the whole year
and most importantly.. the feeling of being a Guy who has Places to go. look at all this luggage! the amount of things I need that goes beyond a simple bag! quite the work eh?
of course half of that perception is just 'wow! executive adult with responsibilities!' but not entirely, there are definitely tasks that require a lot of gear and stuff. filming crews, folks with laptops etc. and then there's the elusive Guy with a Big Bag With Wheels. thats the peak of the ideal
as with everything in my life specifically it all circles back to being disabled and having to stay at home bc I literally am not capable of physically doing anything even remotely close to what the generic student/employed person does and I think that helps a lot to the kind of romanticized view I have of this sorta thing
in a good day a majority of people would rather not have to carry and worry about a pack full of stuff or having to carry the weight of a computer and then some. but it's not that bad if you like/love what you're doing even if it requires those things yknow?
every year of high-school, even if it was the worst experience of my life that degraded me mentally physically and made me so fucked I had to cut myself in between or during classes.. I still looked up to the starting week and the feeling of a kind of new beginning. and packing everything to be super ready to whatever was to come like I was about to spend a month in the wild or climb a mountain
camping and stuff is another kind of 'look at all this shit we're packing and gadgets we have to make fire or little lanterns or makeshift homes (tents) that we have' and its just. holy shit man you sure are busy with a lot of stuff to do huh. and you've got the money to buy it all and friends to enjoy it with you. and you're going to the woods for fun and not to run away from your life because everything sucks. you've got your life all figured out! if only I could also match this unrealistic utopic vision that's sold in every sleeping bag package lol! 🙃
and the rest of this romanticized view also extends a bit to gender and self esteem in a way
of course I, a disabled person, would love to be a person that Can go places and even Has places to go and is important enough to have a complex task that needs all that luggage. and looks like a guy. maybe even a fancy guy with fancy bags and fancy clothing. it's all very important, being all that! unlike being a nobody that has to ask for a seat bc he can't stand for 2 minutes without crumpling like a wet sock because of his fucked up spine and spaghetti muscles
everybody looks up to someone who has something that they don't and wish they had or were like.. and I'm so miserable I just wish I mattered enough to be that average guy crossing the street with his bag on his shoulder. and it just so happens that's asking too much of life in my case
