God there is nothing like rude hospital receptionists to make you want to off yourself.

Wangles stick in a bucket for Haladriel nation ✨ I was warming up and decided to sketch up beautiful uwu Halbrand.

I’m somewhat obsessed with his mouth.

Ethereal beauty of Annatar.

TRoP characters as verbal typo work memes. The most fun was finding pictures of looking for images of their souls leaving their bodies (except Annatar).

There’s a super nice woman at the cafe where I make art, she loves asking me what project I’m working on and chatting about her daughter who wants to be an artists. She saw me working on something earlier and snuck up just now* to ask how it was going… while I was on a deep tumblr scroll. Just rawdogging my feed in public… and I panic shout.

“HAHHI'M ON TUMBLR" With all the energy of trying to stop your mum coming into the bathroom when you’re compromised.

I don’t even think there was anything bad on my screen. But I still felt that panic.

I am a grown adult.

But then I’ll have no one to blame but myself.

Hey guys. Friends. Northern hemisphere pals. Only like 10 days until the days start getting longer again.

I decided to have a whole sketchbook page about fishes. Because this aesthetic has taken over my Pinterest.

Just now I burst into tears while sitting in the library because one of my favourite songs of all time came on my shuffle…

I’m British, and I’m a socialist I have been all my life, I was raised by an old school British socialist while being poor and rural most of my life. Now I’m poor and urban, but there’s never been a part of my life when I was safe, when I didn’t feel the hand of fucking poverty on my shoulder at all times.

Without the NHS I would undeniably be dead, and so would my parents. I didn’t think the spike in class consciousness from the states would hit me so hard over the past week. I’ve always tried not to sneer at the state of American politics, because I know most of Europe isn’t much better. But it hurts me to my core seeing rich Americans commenting that they have no idea why people are 'suddenly' so angry and upset the public are at the state of their society. How the insurance companies routinely murder people in the name of profits. This isn’t sudden, it’s always been there, it’s just been hidden under layers of obfuscation and misdirection.

These ghouls who make enough money to feel untouchable, so they have to cape for big corporations but like to pretend they’re ’just like ordinary folks', ‘it’s all about right v left', 'identity politics blah blah blah'. These people have no idea what it is like to be poor. Being poor doesn’t make you hate, it doesn’t make you greedy and evil, being poor makes you desperate. And I would give everything for every single person to realise that the rich have always been the enemy.

Not because all rich people are malicious, but because they do not understand what our lives are really like.

That is why I am sitting in the library crying over one of the greatest songs of all time, Common People - Pulp. It’s a lyrical masterpiece but this verse is the thesis:

You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why.

… but I wish this were the bit that made me cry. The line that makes me cry without fail, every time is:

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night Watching roaches climb the wall If you called your dad he could stop it all.

My dad would do anything for me, but he isn’t rich, he doesn’t live in the same country as me and he doesn’t have the power of half these rich assholes.

The majority of rich people will never know what it is to be out of control, to have nothing to fall back on… they are amazed that we exist.

your yearly reminder that Baby It’s Cold Outside is a song about a woman having CONSENSUAL sex, at a time when premarital sex was frowned upon. The female singer is offering up the token demurrals society expects her to, because it’s expected, not bc she doesn’t fully intend to stay and have awesome sex with a dude she’s into. The male singer knows this, and is in turn offering her an excuse to give to the neighbors in the morning (“it was too cold for me to go home, the only responsible thing to do was spend the night at his place. because of the weather, get your minds out of the gutter”). A 1950s audience would have understood all this, but the nuance gets lost in a modern age where women are actually allowed to say yes when they mean it.  

Also the “hey what’s in this drink” thing was a common joke at the time, where the punchline was that there was in fact nothing in the drink. the woman’s making a joke that she wouldn’t do this if she was sober, oh goodness no! it’s only a joke bc both she and the man are in on the punchline: she is sober, and is only staying bc she wants to
