My mom sent me a watercolor she just did and I’m going a little crazy over it, tbh.

#it’s such a simple subject #flowers in a field at sunset #and it’s the sunflower + tulips + lupin combination that you see whenever you ask somebody to draw different flowers #but she has this red abstract squiggly border that looks just like the illuminations in manuscripts #and the sunset wash bleeds all together #and there’s this gradient in the muddy yellow of the sunflower #and you look at it. and you can tell. whoever made this had fun.#they enjoyed putting the colors down #the green layers of grass #the delicate squiggles of red #the tiny little flowers and the giant swath of sky #I’ve ranted and raved about how technical excellence /needs/ to be pursued #but - perhaps because I believe in excellence and not despite of it -#Every step along the way #every ‘beginner’s mistake’#every naive piece every foray into something new every attempt to make something beautiful #just inspires so much love and joy in me.#It’s beautiful. because it’s an attempt to express the inexpressible.

I love getting new followers after posting stand alone WH art because I sit here wondering how long until they get jumpscared by my oc x canon :3c

#text post #just rambling #Which i need to draw more colored art of #i put it to the side to focus on more art that I felt the whole fandom could enjoy cause. idk. i wanted to!#sometimes i worry my self indulgent stuff bogs down my work #plus I mean. it doesnt do as well numbers wise most the time. which doesn't discourage me from drawing it!#but i do sit here like “oh maybe i could draw more stuff more people can enjoy!#idk idk. needless to say. i wanna draw more Dandy work lmao #oh so much to draw and so little time.#also wanna draw some Ivy Darling. my beloved baby boy.

the way you can kinda still see his oreo hair 🥹

gone but never forgotten

#floriwoo:chats #taesan #boynextdoor #han dongmin #bnd #okay so i wanna give an explanation for this bc i find it very interesting #ignore if you already know how all this hair stuff works #basically when you bleach your hair you open the outer layer to get the color out of the shaft #it probably took a lot of bleach to make his oreo strip so white #so it opened the cuticle and it’s still open even though they put the darker color over it #so every time he washes his hair some of the color comes out again #but that’s why bleaching your hair can be such a pain down the line #i really enjoy hair stuff sorry for the overly long explanation

I look around, but I can't find you (raise it up) If only I could see your face (raise it up) Instead of rushing towards the skyline (raise it up) I wish that I could just be brave

had an odd dream that i was reading a comic book. sketched a couple of the pages i could remember.

#i might adapt this into an actual story because i am SO SO SO mad that it isn't a thing i can go back to reading #oc #im definitely keeping the concept of save-bot i fucking love save-bot he's just doing his best. i love a robot who wants to help people #im not equipped to be writing about underground rebellions with any sense of real tact though #besides its in a superhero universe/story so you know it would just be so sucks lol #sketch #god the colors were so interesting. the teal parts were all very precisely crosshatched and the fire was this gorgeous brush pen looking #colored inks that just seemed like they were MOVING #and i mean some of that was because i was dreaming but god even in my halfhearted copy you can see some of the movement #it was a bad scene but a really really REALLY fun dream. i love when a book can *get* to me so i was really enjoying it #put it aside so i could take a break and woke up. instant fury at the universe for not having it be a real book instead #ill reblog with details if anyone's curious. i can explain this scene but i dont feel like it #the green people are in a secret basement though. hiding from the government. blue jacket guy is a speedster robot named save-bot who does #rescue stuff with every fire department so fire suppression technology is not very good because save-bot "can just save you''#however they're badly over their legal occupancy and the secret basement has One (1) exit so everyone is like really fucked here.#includinig save-bot who is going to do his job until he dies because he is an ai without any sense of self preservation and he cares #which i didn't even CATCH until i woke up and started tryin to frantically note everything down #and then i was like wait. the glitter on that last page before i realized i needed a glass of water to keep reading... what WAS that...#(it was tears suspended in midair because save-bot goes so fast and also knows he's so fucked LOL)#seriously i'm so mad someone else didn't make this.

Tales of Symphonia is a love story.

#tales of symphonia #tales of symphonia remaster #lloyd irving #colette brunel #screencap #my playthrough of the remaster and i am dying once more #as an aside #the colors here look dim but in game they're pretty bright so idk why its different #disclaimer: this post is a celebration of my favorite ship and how they interact in the game #this is not a put down of other ships at all #some people have been wildly misinterpreting this in bad faith and its honestly quite sad #which is ironic coming from some people #enjoy your trash and I'll enjoy mine

staring so intensely at diasomnia tonight. trying to figure out how to write them when we're following rollo's perspective and not my own. fuck

#vincent talks #i genuinely have been enjoying learning how to see through rollo's eyes for this but oh my god we are so fundamentally different #i'm currently at the stage where i need to introduce the reader to our primary location #and. if it was me. i would be paying attention to EVERYTHING #i would be thinking about the colors and the era things are from and the potential significance #but rollo isn't like that. he would not stand there and stare at a bunch of knick-knacks or lovingly count the panels of wallpaper #that's not his vibe. he doesn't care about those things #but he does care about SOME things #i am restraining myself so heavily #to put this in perspective:#rook has never once lost me on a concept. i am always right there with him.#his analysis to track down trey during bean fest? exactly how i would find a friend if we got seperated #overthinking and critical analysis but in the romantic arts way (to put it kindly) is where i tend to end up when left to my own devices #rollo is just. not that kind of guy #at all. oh my god not even a little bit #UNTIL IT MATTERS TO HIM #and so very few things matter to him. god he needs more hobbies #but then we contrast that with diasomnia as a whole which tends to sway more romantic #malleus in particular is a hard opposite if only because we do regularly get to see his interests #the way he accidentally gives out advice is a prime example #lilia is analytical and can be very brutal but is actively striving to see things differently #sebek sees things in extremes with the most obvious being how he expresses loyalty and admiration #but we get to see basically none of that for rollo #his vignette does help more given how he speaks to the bell of solace #but this is still a very slim amount to work off of #so i have to fill in the gaps without straying too far from the characterization i've already decided on #the least obvious opposite for rollo in this internal way is lilia but i think i want him to be the difference we linger on #rollo has been stuck in this very dull interpretation of the world around him for a very long time with little effort to change that #so having lilia in his immediate vicinity who is doing exactly that and succeeding should bring necessary contrast in a way the others can't #...i mean. hopefully. i could fumble this whole thing so easily

there was a weird phase for awhile on this site where everyone pretended that gerard was like a shitty mid tier comic writer and like. You guys dont read enough comics. you dont know what bad comics look like.

#barry.txt #of course im wildly generalizing people are allowed to not like gerards comics #but some of it felt like grandstanding and it completely drowned out and kind of killed any interest ppl had in actually discussing them #either as art connected to mcr or totally seperately #and then that fucking show happened.#like the opposite of the doom patrol adaptation. Dragged down every character and fandomized them #so the fandom didnt have to try and do it themselves #stripped it of its satire and creativity. I liked s2 well enough but it bungled the dallas arc and it sounds like #s3 was even worse. which is INSANE bc hotel oblivion is some of gerards best work in comics #bc like. tua is a comic fans comic. in tone and structure and art. Like i enjoy it way more now that ive put a lot of #time into learning and reading more classic AND contemporary comics. Now i see what gerard is pulling from #what hes mocking or homaging. The kirby-esque coloring in hotobv when spaceboy and diego are in the Not Starship Enterprise #augh #anyway i have more to say but i need to check out a book and go groccery shoppjng ive been loitering in the library for like an hour #which is so funny bc i didnt even get to my actual point which is some of you havent read a lot of bad or mediocre comics #you didnt read the kupperburg doom patrol run before grant took over. ive seen things

If you’re currently a high schooler; befriend the “cringe” neurodivergent queer kids at your school because if you don’t, many of those kids will be left alone, and vulnerable to things like radqueer spaces online.

They might seem “annoying” or they might like things you think are cringey, but just that little bit of kindness saves a lot of people! And it saved me.

#aaronymous ramblings #like idk if this will reach the right audience #but i knew a lot of ppl who just wouldnt befriend a pretty cool person because they liked mha or something and they thought it was cringe #just befriended a kid at my school and a lot of kids have been avoiding them :(#YOU BEING A FEM PRESENTING ENBY WITH HALF GREEN HAIR WHO WEARS HEART PLATFORMS EVERYWHERE ISNT CRINGE ITS COOL #colorful alt kids get a bad wrap by goths i know and its like stfu dont put them down #like if they’re genuinely harmful call them out but scenekids and hell even ‘e-kids’ are fine. stop pretending like they’re all awful and #ruining alternative culture #i find e-kid music snd stuff to be annoying but its just not my taste idk #let people enjoy things and dress and act how they want!

Random art dump of recent things I’ve done!

First two are of my Masks character, Renata “Amaryllis” Sanchez in civilian clothes! I love the blue one the most because she just looks so cute! 🥹

Next two are just the same drawing of no one in particular before and after color! Mostly because I messed up coloring her and want to show my original sketch of it 😭

Thanks for looking! 💜

#relatable #lol #a day in star’s wacky life #my art #star draws junk #my drawings #anyways here’s a random art dump! 🥹 hope y’all enjoy!#not me drawing my superhero character in everything but her hero outfit tho akdskxnnskxns #and the bottom one I just wanted to try something different and I regret her colors 😭#it was originally gonna be blue where the pink was and the blue part was going to be a dark navy blue but I put the wrong blue down #in the wrong area and then when I went to put in the pink (because it would’ve been cute) I used the wrong pink (originally was gonna be-#baby powder pink) 😭#and then I messed up her lips and made it too dark and super smudgy 😭#still like her look still but I had something completely different in mind akskaksjajs #AND I JUST REALIZED I MESSED UP COLORING HER HAND OH MY GOD ALSNSXNANKZ #damn what is up with me akskasjskx

going outside and digging up weeds and planting them in the garden

#idk what flower it is but it grows on the side of the road and is a light kinda indigo color #anyways im putting them in the garden bc the yard gets mowed occasionally to keep snake risk down. if i had the energy or a lot of money #id be terraforming my whole yard turning it into some kind of native flower paradise with beautiful stonework pathways and rock walls #and raised or stepped gardens #but i dont have that type of energy. or money. so im digging up weeds and putting them in the garden #we are expanding the gardens though. sorta. because honestly whats the point of having a yard when you dont use it.#but theres also only so much we can do. esp bc of the sewer lines. and property lines and laws. and power lines. :/#we already have an issue where a tree is gripping the power line and pulling it down and the power company keeps ignoring us #when its even slightly windy outside you can hear the horrible creaking from the tree rubbing against the line. very fun !#anyways hope you enjoyed all of this unnecessary information 👍

Recently I've been feeling like the seasons are slipping through my fingers.

Back when I was really struggling with my mental health, I tried to get intentional about celebrating change, the seasons, festive traditions, small moments of joy. But it all felt so hollow. I'd sit underneath a ruby red tree and listen to the wind rustle the autumn leaves and think I should be enjoying this. I'd bake Christmas cookies and tell myself this should make me happy. But it always just felt like going through the motions. Useless and performative.

And then I got diagnosed and medicated and cherry blossoms were a revalation. The warm sunshine of summer was a wonder. The barren winter stillness was poetry. Isn't it incredible how the world is constantly changing around us? And yet it repeats itself so we have the opportunity to experience it again.

But I didn't bake any Christmas cookies this year. I only saw the fall leaves in passing. I may have marveled at the beauty of a pink sunset kissing untouched fields of snow, but I never took the time to feel the cold air in my lungs and sit with the quiet of the twilight.

Is this what being an adult is like? Racing from one month to the next? Wanting and intending to cherish every mundane magical moment--just right after this-- only to look up and find they've passed you by?

I know I can still bake Christmas cookies in February. But it's not quite the same, is it?

#i feel like i missed christmas this year #i was so busy at work just trying not to drown under my overwhelming project #that when it finally wrapped up just before christmas eve i could barely even process that i was supposed to be celebrating #but it was true for the fall too. i was busy. i wanted to go out and enjoy the colors. but it just never happened #i feel like i spend every weekend recovering from work and barely have a moment to catch my breath #I'm finally in a place where i can appreciate these small joys again #but i don't even have the time to take my foot off the gas to slow down enough to really notice them #i know that seasonal celebrations don't just show up at your door and decorate your house for you #that you have to be deliberate and intentional about appreciating every new holiday and the change in weather that comes with it #but with what time? what energy? what communal events?#maybe i just need to get out more #but i don't know how to put myself into a headspace that's ready to take a breath and sit with the world around me #I'm running behind and out of breath already #when am i supposed to find the time not just to rest but to recharge?#i just don't know
