Learning to celebrate the little wins!

Finally managed to record a bit of David at curtain call 😍

Brilliant seeing this incredible production once again - and getting to see what's different and what isn't 🥹🥰

Au, where Stan doesn't break the science project but Ford still loses. Instead, Stan's shitty project 'footbot' gets him into West Coast Tech. He accidentally created a new element when it explodes or something.

Filbrick wants his millions, so it's college or the streets. Stan goes to college expecting to flunk out, but he keeps passing his assignments

This is because Ford moves in nearby and is seething in the bushes, but he wants to help his brother, so he helps him a bit. He's too good to actually cheat for Stan, so instead, he keeps him from falling behind. Like he throws rocks at Stan's window to make sure he gets up for his tests or signs him up for tutoring when he struggles in a subject. (Definitely not Ford in disguise) Plus Stan isn't dumb so he actually starts to learn.

Stan is trying his best to fail but can't because Ford is literally creating Rube Goldberg machines to aid his brother.

This’ll probably be my last submission for @green-with-envy-phandom-event this year. This line art is from @wynterfay (I hope I have the correct @ down)

For once I tried manually placing stars for accuracy! Bet you can guess which two constellations I managed to fit in there, but it may be a bit tricky :3 It may not be 1-to-1 accurate, I did eyeball it after all, but they are in fact next to each other!

Final thoughts under the cut.

This event has been a great learning experience for me and I had so so much fun! I’ve learned a lot about how Procreate works, how to use the tools it provides, and to stop using procreate and go back to Sketchbook. (Took a whole year to figure that out TwT) You might be able to tell I colored this and the Inkling Danny in Autodesk Sketchbook! I’ll probably continue to use Procreate for animation until I find a better software I can use on my iPad, but for now it seems Procreate is not for me after all. The past week of using Autodesk Sketchbook has been freeing and I hope it brings better quality with it!

Also I’ve never done ambient soft lighting like this before as far as I can tell! Any drawings I could find from the past several years have had distinct and direct light sources and an overall direction the light is coming from! I hope I did this one the justice it deserves at least!

Does hunter's past of growing up in a cult/the abuse he faced still impact him or has he long since gotten over it? I can't remember if this was answered before but if it was, my apologies

(Also, fellow epileptic here, lol 👋🏼 I feel seen)

Oh yeah, I think that even if time and finding people who nurtured him blunted much of it there's still so much of it that dictates how he sees himself and how he acts.

Despite the support he received from the women who took him in as a young teen he has never stopped feeling like there was something intrinsically bad with him, even if he doesn't believe in demons anymore. And in turn this has led him to take in all kind of morally dubious jobs, part of it because his reality means that it's necessary to survive (he doesn't have the luxury of choice because of his lack of education + he wants to help support his moms for what they did for him) but deep down also because he feels like he's tainted already anyway, someone "like him" might as well do the dirty job so someone "good" doesn't have to. This all stems from what was drilled into his head during his childhood despite the fact he has long realized this was all unfair bullshit.

Outwardly a lot seems to have been resolved but the claws still left scars you feel me ? At least he doesn't have PTSD nightmares or flashback anymore (but he still avoid churches like the plague)

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

I could definitely see Till getting angry at Ivan for what happened during Round 6 and choking him as some sort of payback.

Only for Till to be horrified by the realization that Ivan would just let him do it…

hhhhhhhhh sadness mouser Siffrin where they actively find Sadnesses to kill because they need an outlet and violence is a very easy answer (too easy but hey it's not themselves so). Vaugardians are grateful for the clear roads but the family is concerned™.

And one night Odile follows Siffrin and observes them hacking away at like thirty Sadnesses before she stops him. And not to chide or lecture about the bad coping mechanism because that's a losing battle in the middle of the night. It's to correct their battle stance. "Gems alive Siffrin you're channeling too much paper craft into your dagger. It's a surprise you haven't accidentally shot anyone like that, where did you learn to do that?"

And both of them walk away with something new, Siffrin (attempts) to learn moderation with craft magics and Odile learns how exceptionally observant and adaptable Siffrin can be in passing.

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

[kaurwreck]

y'all stop saying fyodor has never looked so sincerely angry before. he has.

I know this because, and this is not an exaggeration, the vast majority of my manga revisits are to enjoy his expressions of anger, disdain, and malcontent. i shit you not, several of my bsd meta posts wholly unrelated to fyodor were written because I happened to notice something else while flipping through to imbibe fedya's hissy fits. I don't reread the manga when I do this, just those scenes, unless something else catches my attention.

anyway, stop disrespecting my beloved pastime.

It's missing my father hours rn so imma just dump a bunch of pictures here and cry

[fayeandknight]

This is partially for myself but also I am taking anyone who can relate gently by the hand when I say this

It is okay to ask for help.

It is okay to recognize when a dog is struggling with something that is beyond your current skills/knowledge. It is okay to call on your village or reach out to a trainer, even if you yourself are a trainer. It is okay not to know everything.

And it is far better to ask for help so that you and the dog can both learn and gain new skills than it is to beat yourself up in silence.

fr tho @staff why are you trying to make tumblr more like other sites why are you destroying your niche in the market please there have got to be ways to make tumblr more accessible to new users without sacrificing the very things that your existing userbase loves

[sadcoms]

it’s so telling that i haven’t felt this angry since the 50th special lol. it’s wild to me that chibnall is the showrunner that gets accused of being self important the most when power of the doctor is the closest modern who has gotten to a good anniversary special. both moffat and rtd are clearly only interested in their own legacies and entwining them with the existing canon (like clara going into the doctor’s timestream) while the much hated timeless child was actually building on things that were in the second and seventh doctor’s eras. people described power of the doctor as “celebrating every era except chibnall’s own” like people wouldn’t have torn him to shreds for doing that, but i was so touched by the appearance of former companions and doctors even though i never personally watched them. the tales of the TARDIS was basically rehashing that exact idea too, though far less touchingly. the only reason i wish the power of the doctor had celebrated chibnall’s era more is that clearly no one else is going to.
