Drawings of some Rosarios and a beloved Fatima @bunnyangelart

The bottom pic makes me the happiest! Bunnii and I had mused ideas of the four of them having known each other in school as kids, and the idea stuck enough it became canon. Also any time drawing baby Adrián before he lost is eye is like u_u ….. mm

OH before anyone asks, Mani was asked to be the school mascot. It’s not his fursuit!!!! Realistically if anyone would have a fursuit, it’d be Adrián…….And Fatima (shes a warrior cats kid)

Does anyone else make a little mental note when a player displays good sportsmanship. Like a player on the opposing team is the first to throw their hand in the air and call for refs and medical to get over there and doesn't move from the other players side until the refs are there and maybe even after that? Or when a player gets shoved and falls on top of the goalie and after they just check that he's okay? When they just lightly tap their stick against a player's shin pads like they do with their own teammates?

Like I'm screaming, I'm crying, I'm throwing up, and also I'm making a lil tally mark on the certified good boy scoreboard that I have running in my head. I'm making sure I remember that name and number. That's my baby now even if I didn't even know who they were until now. I'm adding you to my list of favorites.

Our next historical figure (or celebrity, depending on how you categorize him) is Jackie Robinson. He was the first black baseball player in Major League Baseball. He played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and earned many accolades throughout his baseball career. Although he’s most famous for breaking the color line in MLB, he had a long history of activism throughout his life. More information on him…

GAYLORD PERRY (1935-Died December 1st 2022,at 84).American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a right-handed pitcher for eight different teams from 1962 to 1983. During a 22-year baseball career, Perry compiled 314 wins, 3,534 strikeouts, and a 3.11 earned run average. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.Perry, a five-time All-Star, was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues: the American League (AL) in 1972 with the Cleveland Indians, and the National League (NL) in 1978 with the San Diego Padres; his Cy Young Award announcement just as he turned the age of 40 made him the oldest to win the award, which stood as a record for 26 years.He registered his 3,000th strikeout with the San Diego Padres in 1978. While pitching for the Seattle Mariners in 1982, Perry joined the 300 win club.Despite Perry's notoriety for doctoring baseballs (e.g. throwing spitballs), and perhaps even more so for making batters think he was throwing them on a regular basis—he went so far as to title his 1974 autobiography Me and the Spitter—he was not ejected for the illegal practice until his 21st season in the majors in 1982.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaylord_Perry
