NaPoWriMo #19: A poem recounting a historical event
To a Man Commenting Upon Lincoln's Homely Features
Abraham Lincoln knew quite well He had never been beauty-graced. When Douglas met him in debate And told him he was quite two-faced, Old Lincoln made a quick reply With his usual sense of fun: "If I'd another face to wear, Do you think I would wear this one?"
#napowrimo 2024#poetry#history is awesome#presidential talk#abraham lincoln#the man in the title is my father#who did say 'lincoln was a pretty homely guy wasn't he?' when looking at a wall of lincoln portraits in the springfield museum#which gave me the perfect chance to share this anecdote#incidentally my dad told me springfield was his favorite part of the road trip#and having me there to tell him all the extra historical details much improved the experience#so...success!#it would have been fun to use this prompt to do a full-on historical poem#but when i'm three days behind i have to go for the quick and easy#i'm just not gonna look at the atrocious meter in this one you can't make me

i bring a "caesar's assassins mega-cringefailed if they were trying to get rid of tyranny and monarchies" vibe to the ides of march that literally nobody enjoys
#i say 'if' cause brutus of course minted a coin with his face on it. you know who does that? kings. were the liberator's intentions so noble#we need to be celebrating lucius junius brutus he was successful at getting rid of his monarchy. marcus junius brutus sucked at it and died#ides of march#the ides of march#lady normalgirl and her eunuch#tagamemnon#my doods#yes i do have to establish i have a classics degree every so often why do you ask#10k

crazy that gravity falls was like, hey what if we made twin brothers, and one of them is the worse one. he gets bad grades, he likes to punch his problems, everyone thinks of him as “the other one.” he’s engulfed in a shadow that’s shaped like him. he doesn’t even have his own name—it’s derived of his brother’s name, the only one his parents planned on having and using. everything about him is derivative—imitative of another person (his twin brother) (the one everyone likes and wants) and is disapproved of for that reason (he isn’t just “bad at this thing,” he’s “not as good as his brother”). and then he ruins his brother’s science fair project (the one next to his own���no one noticed it because it’s not good, it’s almost stupid next to a “perpetual motion machine” made by a high schooler) (he tried to fix it) (he doesn’t know how; he’s not as smart as the guy who made it) and he gets kicked out. the potential of the money his twin could’ve made is enough to throw him onto the street, and he can’t go home until he makes that money back (the money that was never gained and therefore was never lost. he never had a chance of making enough). he took every job he could (his brother went to school). he got banned from multiple states (his brother bought a house). he traveled internationally and went to prison and had people try to hunt him down and kill him because he couldn’t make enough money (his brother’s house has three basements. he made them himself, as secure as can be). and when his twin finally summons him for help, things go wrong (he messed up this machine like the last one) (he doesn’t know how to fix it. he isn’t as smart as the guy who made it) (he tries to fix it) (he was never any good at reading and these blueprints are impossible, coded and fragmented and in a science that he didn’t know existed) (he tries to fix it). the townspeople ask who he is, and he doesn’t even say his own name (it was hardly his to begin with). and he invites them to a house that isn’t his to show off experiments that aren’t his because he needs to make money that can’t be his. everything he does for the next 30 years is in his twin’s name, for his twin’s sake. he had two funerals for himself and it isn’t even his body in the casket; he had to wear his brother’s name to both of them. if he had died before he fixed the portal, that funeral wouldn’t have been for him. we meet him as a funny and unique character, but in-universe, he’s only ever been defined by someone else.
and then they went, this is entirely in the background btw. most of that is going to be revealed in one episode and won’t be addressed again. he’s a primary comic relief, even. I’m ill about this.
#‘stripped for edible flour in Tijuana’ not even for money. not even cooked food. for FLOUR.#I took a benadryl and wrote this instead of passing out#so if there are any typos or weird leaps in logic lmk. the latter I just hallucinated typing the connection. or accidentally deleted it#gravity falls#stan pines#robot rambles#didn’t know how to put it in the post but he IS the worse one. they’re all right about him (compared to ford)#(because it’s always and only ever in comparison to ford)#he’s derivative. he’s his own man. he loves his family. his family ruined him.#his desire to be rich is so deeply-rooted. it’s always been tied to success and happiness#winning the game show really would’ve been everything.

@eatsbooks
I don't think he's quite old enough to be interested in liquor but there's certainly other things he's got an eye for.
They're pulling a heist. Featuring Aaron because stealing cupcakes isn't a one man job when you're tiny as a bug.
#I think it's going to be really successful!!#won't ever get caught#sneaky little fellers#aftg#aftg fanart#andrew minyard#aaron minyard#twinyards#i will be posting both Aaron and Andrew with their respective parent though so watch out for that

Don't you just love when a character is barely a person? When they're just a big lie dressed in some silly clothes? Like, who are you? What do you mean you have no idea? And yes I absolutely would love to find out.

could i interest you in my space regency au
#not gonna lie chat i forgot i post on tumblr LMAO#the long and short of the like world building is that it’s still a galaxy but coruscant is the capital where the royal family lives#the planets are ruled by a duke/duchess with marquesses and viscounts and such under them but still ruling#and the planets have different rules for succession Naboo is a matrilineal planet#the duchess before padmé was overthrown and padmé voted in so she still cares about voting especially in the coruscant House of Lords#mandalor has a broach that signifies who is the ruler which was lost before the twins were born in a coup#and there are no Jedi/force but coruscant has a royal army to be peacekeepers across the galaxy#Qui-Gon enlisted in that army when he was young and eventually adopted Obi-Wan who also enlists#they are sent to Naboo when the previous duchess was being overthrown and were instructed to transport Padmé to Coruscant for approval#make a stop on tattooine and Qui-Gon finds orphan Anakin and snatches him up too#and that’s all the back story that really matters#art#fanart#myart#star wars#star wars fanart#obi wan kenobi#anakin skywalker#leia organa#padme amidala#luke skywalker#anidala#keylime space regency

14 yrs ago i started playing magic the gathering as a kid, and i had the dream to do art for them
3 yrs ago i tweeted about those dreams:

today i’ve released 11 official magic the gathering cards, and it’s honestly so surreal and insane to me! i did that!! i fulfilled a childhood dream, and i honestly couldn’t be more proud 🥹
#as someone who never had support it’s wild to me to ACTUALLY DO IT BITCH!#my hs counselor said i’d never amount to anything and id be lucky to work fast food#only bc i was disruptive and hated the southern culture i was raised in#hope she chokes on my success :)#pixel art#artist on tumblr#aesthetic#illustration#i am so fucking powerful#i put 18 but it’s rly like 14 yrs ago lmao oops#i edited the age for clarity sake after doing the math!!!!

He loved her immediately I'm gonna cry
#and I'm probably projecting a little too much#but idk#the first thing he said to her was her outfit was cute#and he took her in without question#his only hesitation was if it was against her wishes#he let her call him Daddy if/when she felt comfortable doing so#and she started doing it immediately#they were all the other really had#Trucy has Very Complicated Feelings about Zak but she can love Phoenix without question#sorry I'm being emotional#Phoenix Wright#Trucy Wright#ace attorney#turnabout succession

FNAF movie Abby has better luck than Elizabeth..
(Original post by @dont_nes_wit_me)
#myart#chloesimagination#comic#fnaf#abby schmidt#elizabeth afton#golden freddy#Toyshk#fnaf movie#sister location#fnaf fanart#five nights at freddy's#when I saw this post I knew I’d have to redraw it myself#the difference is so funny 💀#I think Abby and Liz are similar#they both want to hang around animatronics when they probably shouldn’t#though Abby has been WAY more successful in that regard#Somehow she befriended her own Golden Freddy#meanwhile Elizabeth as baby got kicked out of the Ennard group#NOT Elizabeth’s fault she’s definitely just had worst luck 😭
