my mother taught me to crochet when i was young. she was left handed, so she taught me how in the bathroom mirror so her hands would be in the right position.

she learned to crochet from her grandmother, who was right handed. her grandma was the one that originally used the bathroom mirror to teach her granddaughter properly.

i find something poetic about that. here in this bathroom mirror, through generations, we adapt to our young who have a different way of learning and interacting with the world

#my mom grew up in the 70s rural missouri #very much in the ‘left handedness is the devil’ era #her first grade teacher handcuffed her left hand to her desk #so i find it very sweet that my great grandmother #took the time and effort to show her grandkid how to create and crochet with her left hand #using the only methods she knew how- the bathroom mirror #the narwhal speaks #crochet

so i played through the entirety of tgaa2 with runo's DLC outfit it's what he canonically wears in my mind and it's absolutely great!! he's so snazzy and it compliments both susato's DLC and kazuma perfectly. i absolutely adore chuunosuke

only problem is. because chuunosuke is in EVERY shot with a vacant smile, i can't take emotional scenes seriously anymore

imagine me, reaching the climax of the third chapter of the game, there's the reveal and it's all sentimental and heart-wrenching. and i have to stare at this:

“Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)” from Steven Universe works so ridiculously well for Leo

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rottmnt leo #rise leo #listen it’s morning now and I haven’t slept so bear with me for the sudden unwarranted lyric analysis haha #a lotttt of the lyrics work so well for him #not even just the overall theme the words just work great #first lyric is literally ‘I can’t help it if I make a scene’ which is one to one with ‘Leo’s makin a scene’ from the rottmnt opening like-#‘I’m turning heads and I’m stopping traffic’ -> Leo has not made it a secret that he values his looks a LOT #-not just his looks but also his ability to get people’s attention #‘when I pose they scream when I joke they laugh’ -> I feel like this speaks for itself #-posing and joking for the crowd and himself #‘I’ve got them dazzled like a stage magician’ -> works both with Leo’s canonical love of magicians and his aptitude with tricks in general #‘well everybody needs a friend and I’ve got you and you and you’ -> I just think it’d be cute to imagine his friends here just as his bros #‘I got you and you and you’ = ‘my brainy guy my smashing guy and eats peanut butter with his fingers guy’#‘haven’t you noticed that I’m a star?’ -> Leo loves attention and especially loves when his feats and efforts are acknowledged #+ he loves glam rock and sci-fi and being a champ and - listen he has a LOT of star symbolism with him #‘haven’t you noticed I made it this far’ - Leo is well aware of how dangerous situations get and thinks himself only a part of a whole #-so hey it’s notable that he’s survived this long yeah?#‘now everyone can see me burning’ -> self-sacrificing with his family bearing witness + all his star and flame symbolism in general #+ how attention naturally goes to him - including bad attention where his mistakes are highlighted and burn bright #also even the limo lyric-#obviously this boy has never and will never own a limo but one of his main secondary colors IS pink so even that #okay that one is just a joke but he would #(on that note though I think the other colors the boys gravitate to outside THEIR color are fun to notice)#I don’t actually know too much about Steven universe beyond the songs and some eps but I like the music #and this just came to my tired mind so here you go anyone who’s interested #may draw something with these lyrics dunno yet #it’s a good song in any case even though it’s super short

an artistic rendition of samuel stratford realising that Maybe This Wasn't Such a Good Idea during belief

#I suppose this is my first contribution to the pulp fandom on here #I promise I will make some higher-effort art soon #but I had this idea and immediately had to draw it (it is late now and I should likely be asleep)#the entirety of margaret and the moon could also fit for this meme #pulp musicals #the great moon hoax #samuel stratford #margaret cavendish #<- technically #my art

Brooklyn 99 is very quickly becoming a comfort show of mine but as an Atla fan I can’t get over how Jake Peralta is giving such Sokka vibesss

#they would be great friends if they existed in the same universe #they’re both smart dumbasses with a shorter very optimistic best friend (aang & Charles)#an older mentor figure who is baffled by their antics yet impressed by their intelligent unorthodox problems solving #(Piandao and Captain Holt)#abandonment issues with their fathers (even tho Hakoda did come back and try to do better the damage had been done)#they deal with their trauma by suppressing it and use humor to cope #And they both feel a responsibility to save their friends and make the world a better place #(Jake through his work as a cop and Sokka through ending the war with the Gaang)#(along with his help in the restoration efforts post war)#omg I could go on about this for so long #sokka #atla #jake peralta #brooklyn 99 #I barreled through the first five seasons in like two weeks #my post #headcanons and stuff

oh my god, I got followed by galactaknightyaoi, such an honour ‼️ fjdbfhf I hope you enjoy my silly posts

I WILL!!! I do! I've been a huge fan since day one 🫡 I basically recommended "How to Adopt an All-Powerful Child Hero" to everyone who would give me the time of day when it first came out, I even commented on it. I am just social media illiterate and only recently realized I've been interacting without following and you're like. Kinda supposed to do that?

#this username was a great idea i think #also following people doesn't get any less scary even if i've been a fan forever #im so bad at interacting i only have 22 liked posts and 19 of them are from almost 3 years ago when i first used and abandoned this account #the way i use social media is like going up to a newspaper stand and reading the news without actually buying a newspaper #i could save myself the effort of going there everyday by simply getting a subscription but not only do i keep forgetting i keep thinking #the newspaper guy is gonna shoot me dead if i buy from him #text post

#boku no hero academia fanart #Yabureme Aizawa AU #nomu aizawa #shouta aizawa #principal nezu #this is a response to an anon but it had a second prompt so I didn't want to answer it and then forget about the second one #but ya Nezu is one of the faculty that comes by super often when Yabureme is in Tartarus #there's always been a powerful mutual trust between these two before he was taken and Nezu only wants to help #the first time Yabureme is in Tartarus he is completely unresponsive but Nezu visits him every few days anyway in an effort to get #a response out of him. it doesn't work #but during his second stint in Tartarus he's more lucid and Nezu becomes a huge comfort as Aizawa is rediscovering himself #he's the reason Aizawa eventually relents and agrees to see his class again. he is totally resistant to the idea bc he knows he hurt them #MULTIPLE times. plus he was barely their teacher so he shouldn't be that big of a deal to them right? they knew him for like a week #when Yabuzawa is his own free agent again Nezu helps him bear the weight of his trauma and they bond over shared experiences as experiments #canon Nezu and Aizawa are cute and funny and wholesome bc of the whole cuddle-in-the-scarf thing but it's way deeper than that #Nezu is one of the only ones that Aizawa knew respected him for his abilities as a teacher vs just his useful quirk. Nezu gave him his job #and believed in him so much that he let him do whatever he wanted in pursuit of teaching students who would live longer #and less foolishly. Nezu/Aizawa are friends and value each other a great deal thanks xoxoxo

I am all against the "social" social media (that's why I almost esclusively used tumblr) but I think TikTok should have existed in 2009 to make very shirt aesthetic edit of Jenson Button at Brawn being sad during the entire second half of the season + montage of various people Luca di Montezemolo saying he's not world champion material/he doesn't have that one extra bit with the audio "There's really no way of winning/ If in their eyes you'll always be a dumb blonde"

#jenson button #brawn gp #f1 #formula 1 #'he's not Schumacher or Senna or Prost' WELL I KNOW THAT LUCA DI MONTEZEMOLO #I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT #BUT CAN YOU STOP BEING BITCHES FOR FIVE SECONDS #I am not dumb I know. I know just because you win a championship doesn't mean you're at the same level #of everyone who has ever won a championship #I'll be the first to say that even though Jenson has a wdc I think he's a worse driver than Kimi Räikkönen who also #only has one wdc #but it breaks my heart to realise there are - in every area of life not just motorsports- first degrees champions and second degrees ones #I know it's normal #I know this is really said to highlight the extraordinary talent of some rather than to punish a vast majority #but imagine. You win. You win the wdc or whatever prestigious title you're chasing in life.#many have tried and failed. You made it. Without a doubt.#And that's still not enough. Yeah here you go your title and your prize. Wow you fought reeeally hatd to get them.#maybe a little too hard. If you had to put that much effort into it maybe you weren't made for it.#Your victory is unremarkable. Nobody cares. You may have your shiny trophy but you'll never be one of the greats.#Somebody sedate me #this is why nico rosberg will always have my deepest respect #'it was a lucky championship' I am in your wall and I will bite your head off your neck. Cunt.

Franziska’s insistence on perfection is an attempt to live up to her father’s legacy despite that legacy being built on lies and ruining countless lives including that of the person Franziska loves most. Accepting that she is not and cannot be perfect is a major step in her development into not only a better person but a happier one. And despite all of this, every time she declares her own perfection my immediate impulse is to agree with her

#ace attorney #yes she kind of sucks especially at first. that’s the point #I wish the investigations games ever went into half the things they do to her #but then completely failing to engage with her emotions makes it an accurate miles edgeworth simulator #I get that you’re not in a great place yourself post jfa but come on #‘my father just got convicted of murder and probably executed and I don’t know how to be anything but what he made me #I will never be good enough for anyone else and I’m terrified the last person I care about will leave me behind too’#‘you should be scared and I will absolutely do that if you don’t redouble your efforts at this impossible goal. seeya’#I love Edgeworth and I get what he was trying to do but. come on #and then he does it in investigations 2! he told her that they would stay together as long as they were both prosecutors and then he stopped #and it wasn’t about her but maybe that’s worse #she uprooted her entire life and went to another country to try to send a message that she loved him #he couldn’t even keep doing the thing he had been doing for years #(yes this is a wildly selfish way of framing it. she’s literally 19)#all of this is to say: man.#franziska von karma #she’s so pretty but at what cost

Never done one of these pallette asks before but I'm giving it a shot; Huntlow with Astral Alley and Pop Culture with Lumity.

So sorry for not getting this done sooner! But I didn't forget your ask, it was a fun challenge, since I've never done a palette ask myself or drawn the Hexsquad... Minus Gus lol.

Please send some more asks, anyone who wants to! Below is the palette selection the drawing is based on:

#This was really fun!#I thought it would end badly but it turned out great! At least I think so lol #Now time to get back to work on my Trollhunters drawing project.#First time drawing these four and I think Luz and Hunter are my favourite #Yes the background is just the two palettes blended but I think it created a nice effect with minimal effort #My art #Digital art #The owl house #hexsquad #luz noceda #Hunter #Hunter toh #willow park #amity blight #Lumity #Huntlow #Palette challenge #ask answers
