random rimster moment .. bedtime beverages routine or something ... (although with their sleeping habits it could be rimmer's 5am morning coffee and lister's 5am bedtime hot chocolate . etc)

was going to make a joke post like. well ive decided i hate art im going to give it up and devote all of my waking earthly hours to a soulless corporate finance job and never touch a pencil again <- she is trying to draw legs and feet . Etc. But actually it's okay now because ive managed to correct my errors and the feet look mostly alright. the world is beautiful again and art prevails once more

btw now is the best time to keep boycotting. the israeli economy has never been weaker. don't stop the protests or the demands for divestment. keep supporting organisations like the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Accountability Archive. ofc don't stop boosting and donating to Palestinians as Gaza is still uninhabitable.

enjoy this moment but the work has not ended

like. im sketching this photo i took (with the aim of then painting it) and i chose this one because i thought Well It's A Pretty Simple Picture Just Some Houses On A Beach but it's like um. even though it's literally just an average image from a beach when you Zoom in and Look at it it's like ohh ok there are one billion trillion textures and colours and lines of different types. the block colours of the house fronts and (almost) of the sky. the one million blades of grass which contain one million shades of green/brown/khaki. the indefinite swooshy shapes of the grass. but also the angular solid shadows on the buildings. the triangles and squares and rectangles of the windows. the bits of reflected houses in the water. the discolouration on the steps. the little black squiggly spots of shadows from the railings. i could go on. it's endless. just how am i supposed to ever represent this on an a4 piece of paper. etc. ......... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow....I Forgot How Many Millions Of Shapes And Textures Make Up Our Beautiful World... <- she is horrendously out of practice when it comes to landscape/scenery and is a bit overwhelmed but it's fine because she is experiencing the joy and beauty also

all the palestinians i know are celebrating but also braced for the indiscriminate bombing that will take place until the ceasefire goes into effect on sunday. i don't know if you know this but israel has always bombed the most indiscriminately right before a ceasefire up until the very last second, just to kill a few hundred more palestinians. this was once considered one of its worst war crimes because it is demonstrably utterly unjustified. now it's considered par for the course because the vast majority of the bombing of the past year has been unjustified (even militarily, israel's bank of targets ran out long ago.) but between now and sunday people who have survived 467 days of genocide are going to be desperately hoping to make it until the ceasefire. the bitterness and fear of losing friends and family right before it is a psychological torture of its own.

over the past year i think a lot of people around the world have been sickened by the awareness that a trapped people are being starved and bombed to death as they go about their day. personally i haven't been able to truly enjoy anything without the awareness that for almost every half hour of the past year a child in gaza was killed. a lot of people in gaza have said they haven't had a proper night's sleep since october 7th. this is the smallest demand of humanity and the first thing a ceasefire means, and why it has been so wretched to have to scream and beg for it for over a year. people will be eating and sleeping again. let's just get there, on sunday, and then we can talk about everything else we need to do.

please remember that a ceasefire has not been reached yet and that israel's attacks have actually recently ramped up. people are also still being starved. combat this by donating to gaza soup kitchen

maria silent hill will always be my number one favourite unalive girl of all time HOWEVER i have to admit arnold judas rimmer is my second or third favourite unalive girl currently . his flavour of unalive is very different but equally fascinating
