#Bumblehaven

[bumblehaven]

A mixed media piece I've been working on; primarily acrylic on wood with addition of paint markers and various colored pencil types. I cannot stress to you enough how excited I am about how this piece is coming.

Get to Know You

Last song: Invisible by Luca Stricagnoli

Currently watching: I watched some of Bluey last night with my mom

Three ships: Hypnowarren as a queer platonic relationship! (They’re queer platonic partners in my au anyway. I think they were confirmed as romantic partners in canon, but they were referred to simply as partners before that and in the show itself it seemed their relationship was complicated so I got attached to the idea of them being queer platonic. They are wonderful as romantic partners too though.) I don’t ship characters very often. When I do it’s usually a canon ship. Also, I think Hypno and Warren are really the only ones I’ve made art for. Oh, I did make a little art for Aziraphale and Crowley. Those two belong together ;-; Also, I guess I do have one non-canon ship, but I’m not sure how much sense it makes outside of my head. Carmen Sandiego and Mime Bomb in a queer platonic relationship. They were sort of friends in the book. She has a nickname for Mime Bomb. She saves them in the To Steal or Not to Steal interactive adventure. I saw some fan art of Mime Bomb defecting from VILE and joining Carmen’s crew because they weren’t being respected as nonbinary at VILE. I love the idea of Carmen befriending/taking in any VILE agents that defected especially if they’re her old classmates. I need an au. I headcanon Carmen as trans and Mime Bomb as nonbinary.

Favorite color: purple :] a kind of muted medium lavender

Currently consuming: cheese crackers (gluten-free ones by simple mills)

First ship: I’m really not sure.

Birthplace: California

Current location: California (haven’t moved out yet)

Relationship status: single and very aroace; I would love to be in a qpr someday, but I’m not really focusing my time and energy on finding someone right now (I’m also really shy and kind of socially awkward irl so I’m not sure how?)

Last movie: Mao’s Last Dancer (also watched with my mom, she picked this one)

Currently working on: illustrating a game for a student I tutor that involves cat and dog unicorns. I also have various personal art projects that are in the idea stage. (Some I hope to work on soon are: a lamb, something boop-related with River, Hypno, and Warren, and an outfit-challenge thing with River). I also sewed some frog plushies lately, and I want to figure out/find some other simple patterns of animal plushies to practice with. The goal is to make my own weighted plushies eventually :]

Last song: Which Witch by Florence and the Machine

Currently watching: Bad Batch! and I keep saying I'm gonna rewatch Killjoys and Prehistoric Park but I've been saying that for a while 😬

Three ships: Mordecai/Brick, Wrecker/Crosshair, and fuck it I'm gonna say my strawberries too (OC clone/Paz Vizsla/OC Tusken)

Favorite color: purple!

First ship: Parker/Hardison from Leverage, they've been my blorbos since high school

Birthplace: I just spawned in like in Minecraft idk what to tell you

Current location: North Carolina

Relationship status: single and no idea how to mingle

Last movie: Kissing Jessica Stein

Currently working on: *kicks so many docs under the bed. just so, so many* I have a "Myles survived Galidraan and becomes part of the Cuy'val Dar with eventual Myles/Jango" AU occupying a significant amount of my brain right now. Zer0 meeting Murderbot. Din/Cobb Bioshock-verse AU. Knightverse Bumblebee meets a TMNT OC. Post-canon fix-it Titanfall 2. Ghost Squad origin story (so many clone OCs). "Obi-Wan comes back home after the events of Kenobi to find Jango chilling in the Lars' living room and it gets poly from there". Boba/Din Pacific Rim AU. Just so many. So many.

Tag Game: 15 Questions + 15 Friends

Thanks for tagging me, @peikonlainen ! <3

1. Are you named after anyone?

Yes, I was named after my great-grandmother who immigrated to America from Denmark.

2. When was the last time you cried?

One of the recent times I cried was when I got left out of going on a hike. (I probably wouldn’t have been able to keep up with them anyway. They’re training for a big hike and I’m more of a stop and look at all the birds and bugs kind of person when I go on walks.)

3. Any kids?

No, and I have no plans for having any biological kids (if I met someone and end up in a queer platonic relationship, and they wanted kids, I would consider adoption.)

4. Do you play or have you played any sports?

I used to swim and I used to ride horses (and I was made to take one year of tennis, which was not a good experience). I am not a very athletic person.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Occasionally, when I do it’s usually with my siblings.

6. What is the first thing you notice about people?

I’m not sure, I’m pretty shy.

7. What’s your eye color?

Hazel: they’re blue-grey with small light brown rings around my pupils, every once and a while they look green.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings definitely (I have a hard time handling anything scarier than Coraline).

9. Any talents?

They are a combination of talent and lots of time building skills (and I have lots to learn still)—art, writing (though I got pretty burnt out in college and don’t have it all the way back yet), noticing nature, identifying local birds :]

10. Where were you born?

California, and I’m still here.

11. What are your hobbies?

Drawing and painting (drawing in pencil and painting digitally or watercolor), sometimes sculpting in clay, little sewing projects, a little bit of photography; (I hope to get back to writing); going on nature walks and appreciating and identifying the creatures I see; vividly daydreaming stories often while listening to music; analyzing stories, including stories in cartoons; playing games with family like Scrabble, Dixit, Wingspan, Telestrations, and Mario Kart

12. Pets?

My family has a labradoodle named Ember, but I don’t have a pet of my own right now (although I still do a lot of the clean-up and care for Ember). Some of my favorite pets I’ve had in the past were my rats. Recently I have been looking into getting some desert beetles (like darkling beetles and ironclad beetles.) I can’t really afford anything more than insects right now.

13. How tall are you?

5’6”ish

14. Favorite subject in school?

Art and field biology and creative writing

15. Dream job?

I’ve had a long time dream of being a children’s book author and illustrator (that is starting to feel very far away though). I would also love to sell my art in some way, take commissions, make zines, sell prints and stickers etc, (though I get overwhelmed easily.)

I’m just really hoping for a job that doesn’t drain me so I can keep working towards art and stories (or to figure out how to make money with art and stories.)

I don’t know 15 people on here, but I’ll tag some beloved mutuals (no pressure to join of course, but just in case you are interested in this tag game <3)

Spirit, 2024, mixed media on wood.

My latest large scale work, which, in its entirety, will stand 10 feet tall floor to ceiling.

[bumblehaven]

An acrylic work in progress for my final series of works for class. Loosely based off one of my allegorical spirit characters, Solarjod, whose form mimics that of a moth-winged wolf. In my spiritual fantasy realm, his domain is closely tied to the golden period during late summer and early fall where a vivid variety of plants, like sunflowers, grow best. There are records of this spirit being treated not unlike a harvest deity, though that classification doesn't fit him quite right.

If you have toyhou.se, you can check out Solarjod's profile over here.

I made a thing for a class in 2020 that never saw the light of day because my teacher absolutely hated it. I was wounded. Now I'm sharing it anyways because I don't give a heck and I think it's cool as hell.

Choose Your Grandfather, 2020, digital hand animation & experimental design, rooted in some of my favourite star and spirit stories of my ancestors.

If you ask me questions about these stories I will not shut up -- you've been warned.
