When you take a break from drawing GF fanart...by drawing more GF fanart

I've actually wanted to draw these two for ages but couldn't come up with an excuse to do it but I'VE FINALLY GOT IT--and I thought of it BEFORE summerhalloween was over instead of AFTER--

Seriously though this was so fun--I even tweaked the way I draw Ford a bit to fit Spooky's style better :]

the FixerUpperAU, the human bill design, and the post that inspired all of this all belong to @1spooky2me <3

Today, the country indeed looks alien. The America many of us believed we knew now appears stranger in retrospect: The anger and resentment we may have thought was pitched at a simmer turned out to be at a rollicking boil. And one of liberals’ most cherished shibboleths from 2016—that Trumpism is a movement for aggrieved white men—unraveled in the face of a realignment that saw the GOP appear to give birth to a multiracial working-class movement. A second Trump presidency is the result of this misjudgment.

Democrats are a coalition party of the center-left

The Left has traditionally been associated with egalitarianism, which is by necessity concerned with the masses, the common people, the working class, but also the dispossessed, the marginalized, the disadvantaged

The modern Democratic party traces its roots most directly to the New Deal coalition of the 1930s, which it understands to have been a robust working-class and labor-rights movement

They also see themselves in the 1960s cultural revolutions and their repudiation of hierarchy, itself generally seen as the position of the common person, the masses, but also the dispossessed

The party takes its name from Andrew Jackson, great champion of the Common Man, at least as understood at his time, but it goes back to Thomas Jefferson, famous for declaring that "all men are created equal," and now excoriated for failing to live out that egalitarian principle

The Democrats are a party for the people, understood as capaciously as possible, the party that repudiates narrow nationalism and jingoism, in favor of spreading the benefits of American society widely, in opposition to favoring the privileged few

Why am I reminding you of all these things that you already know?

Because they believe so deeply that they are right in every way that matters, or at least incomparably superior to their opponents, they cannot begin to imagine repudiation from the very people in whose interests they thought they were acting, let alone in favor of the very person they swore was an existential, even murderous threat to those very same people

I think to appreciate the sensation, you might imagine a thief broke into your home, and then your family kicked you out in favor of the thief; someone broke in to ravish your spouse and they called the police on you; a sex offender told your children explicitly what he wanted to do them, and your children fought you to get out of your arms so they could crawl into the van knowing full well they'd never see you again

The shock is so existentially horrifying, such a betrayal of reality itself, that it would require rethinking all your most basic assumptions about the political order, human beings, and worst of all, yourself. Why would they do such a manifestly insane thing? Is there something I don't know? What did I miss? What did I do wrong? What do I do now?

Democrats cannot meaningfully internalize that they are the party of the privileged and the elite, by their own philosophy they are themselves the enemy, they write a blank check for the most lurid excesses of anti-colonial violence and call it "exhilarating" without dealing with the fact that given their assumptions, in this society, they are the power and not the resistance

But it's hard to ask yourself these kinds of questions and most people don't have the nerve for it, and so what we see instead, in another little paradox of human nature, is they're going to blame not the ravisher but the spouse

TL;DR, self-examination is hard, so now Democrats hate Latinos

THE CHOCOLATE SCENE??? RAHHHHHHHH don’t even get me started on Dipper getting his tongue back I might draw that next

Thank you @tswwwit for blessing us with chapter 4 of Cult AU 🙇‍♂️💕✨

See Frieren x Himmel is canonically doomed and that's part of the overall narrative, Frieren will outlive almost everyone she ever meets but she slowly starts to build more and more relationships in spite of that and Himmel was one of the biggest catalysts in her changing in this way

But they also have this "this is how it can still win" vibe to it because Frieren is literally traveling to the afterlife specifically to visit Himmel, and along the way she's changing and very slowly embracing love in all these different forms from the people around her, one of which was from Himmel

So it's doomed but it still feels like they'll definitely have a happy ending too, it's an interesting dynamic

DEALING WITH DOUBTS

Intro:

When doubts, fears, or anxiety arise, don’t fight with them or think that it is a dead-end. Instead, acknowledge them with gratitude. Recognize that fears are trying to protect you, doubts can motivate growth, and impatience signals your eagerness for good things. Invite your fears to wonder, -> "What if success is close?" Let doubts challenge limits and turn impatience into excitement for what’s coming. Rather than resisting old beliefs, shift your view on these emotions, give them a new purpose, and trust your intuition.

1. Shifting your POV

Instead of seeing doubts as barriers, let’s view them as part of our growth. When doubts pop up, it's because something within us wants reassurance or clarity. It’s a signal, not a dead-end. Now stay with me

2. UNDERSTANDING WHY IT APPEARS

Doubts don’t just appear for no reason; they’re often tied to past experiences or beliefs

Doubt -> an underlying cause -> why It appears -> how to reframe It -> moving forward

3. DONT FIGHT WITH YOURSELF

Doubts can actually help us to question, refine, & build more solid beliefs

Each doubt that you move through gives you a deeper trust in yourself. Like a good friend who’s honest with you, doubts can be useful if you listen, learn, and grow beyond them

The example:

✨️THE DOUBT: What if I am not good enough to get my SP's attention

✨️ LISTEN: Hear the doubt as f it's a friend being honest, pointing out where you might feel insecure.

✨️ LEARN: Ask yourself why this feeling exists. Maybe it's tied to a belief about self-worth.

✨️ GROW BEYOND: Use this awareness to focus on building confidence and self-love, reminding yourself that you're worthy and valuable just as you are

✨️ RESULT: Instead of letting the doubt hold you back, you're using it as a push to strengthen your self-image

4. PICK & CHOOSE

After acknowledging & understanding doubts, it’s time to release them

Imagine each doubt as a passing cloud

You notice it, see what it’s about, and then watch it drift away. You don’t have to cling to every thought

Choose which ones you want to keep

5. REMIND YOURSELF OF YOUR TRUTH

When a doubt comes up, gently remind yourself of your truth

Let’s say you doubt if you’re capable of achieving your desire

You could say, “I trust my ability to manifest & I trust myself”

It’s not about forcing the doubt away but bringing yourself back to your inner belief

6. Appreciating them & letting them go

The next time you catch yourself doubting, try saying, “Thank you for showing me what I need to work on.” This way, you honor the doubt but also make a conscious decision to not hold onto it. Acknowledging it without fear takes away its power over you

7. TODAY'S LESSONS

So today, we learned to:

✅️ To acknowledge the doubts without fearing them

✅️ Appreciate what they teach us

✅️ Letting them go and refocusing on the truth

Doubts don’t have to control you. They can be gentle reminders to dig deeper into your own strength

Trust that you’re on the right path

Some ground techniques for you:

Mindfulness Exercise (My favorite):

When doubts or overwhelm arise, bring yourself back to the present moment. Count your fingers, look around, and connect with your surroundings. Remind yourself that you exist in this moment, and that the thoughts passing through your mind aren’t truly you. Let these thoughts drift by and rest in the knowing that everything is working out in your favor.

Energetic Grounding Exercise (Another favorite):

✨ Start by sitting comfortably in a chair. Visualize roots, cords, or chains extending from your feet deep into the earth and from your base chakra. Feel as though you’re solidly anchored, like a tripod.

✨ Then, imagine a rope or pillar of light entering your crown chakra. This light can be any color that feels healing and powerful for you. See it flow through your body, traveling from your head to your feet, passing through each chakra.

✨ Declare out loud that you are grounded to the earth. Visualize toxins and negativity releasing through the roots into the soil, where they are transformed into energy. Allow the crown chakra connection to draw in healing energy that flows throughout your being.

This practice can help you feel centered, calm, and aligned with positive energy.

TIME IS AN ILLUSION.

-before starting this post i want to make a few things clear :

1- 3D = your “current” reality. your “conscious” reality that functions with “time”

2- 4D = your actual reality. the one that doesn’t function with “time”, your “subconscious” reality.

3- the 4D >>> 3D, the 3D is nothing but a reflection of what the 4D is made up of, the core belief.

i will start of with a few examples of why time isn’t real. it is simply an invention that humans created to manage their day-to-day activities. time is simply an invention. it is not real.

THE ROOM & THE ROOFTOP.

i want you to imagine a room. a room with no doors, it only has one small square shaped window where you can see a field outside of it, you focus outside the window to see people walking, the first person was an old man in his late 40s going to work. you saw him walking in and outside the frame registering his presence in present and future as he walked off,

seconds later a woman in her 20s walked in front of the square shaped window, you again registered her presence in the present (as she was walking in front of the window) and the future (she continued walking off, out of the window’s frame)

a few other seconds later, a young girl walked in front of the square shaped window, you registered her presence in the present and future self before she walked off to the end of the field following the woman and the man.

now the only two tenses that you saw everything in was present and future, correct?

picture someone standing on the roof top of the room you were in, what tense would they have witnessed the old man, the woman and the young girl walking in? they would have seen it all in the present.

SPACE AND ITS LAWS.

one of the most mind-boggling theories that i’ve heard about space (before correlating it to manifesting & the law of assumption) is how we view everything in space in our current present tense when everything that we’re viewing is in the past tense.

all the stars that you see at night, all the black holes that have been discovered and many other space phenomenas ranging from planets that are a billion light years away to collisions of different universes are all in the past tense. everything that you see is all in the past tense.

collisions of certain universes that are reaching our universe so we can view them with our technology are collisions that happened billions of light years ago. and we’re able to see them now, in our present tense.

one of the simplest examples i could provide is sunlight, the sunlight takes around eight minutes to travel from the sun to the earth, what we view and see and feel as the “sunlight” is from the past.

it took billions of light years for the view and shape of the universe to reach us, to reach our own present tense.

the existence of time is merely an idea, “time” itself- as mentioned before- is nothing but an invention of humankind to manage their activities.

LIFE ON MERCURY.

the biggest and most obvious difference between mercury and earth, is time.

while earth’s one “day” is made up of 24 hours, mercury’s one “day” is made up of 1,408 hours.

in this third example, i want you to picture yourself and a sibling, friend or any other person you want.

you both were born on the same exact date of 2000, july 1st, 12:00 PM.

the obvious difference in time between earth and mercury will have an affect on both of your “aging times”

if you were to stay on earth, you would age normally and live a healthy life compared to what the other person would go through if they were to live on mercury,

if the second person lived on mercury- the second person would undoubtedly, be way younger than you are when arrived to earth, and compared to you.

since time is way slower in mercury than it is on earth, the second person will age slower,

- what does this have to do with manifesting?

your current reality, -that you’re perceiving with your five senses- while using your conscious mind is nothing compared to your subconscious mind that doesn’t even function with time.

your subconscious mind lives in all three tenses at the same time, “time” doesn’t even exist for your subconscious mind.

when you affirm and persist for a certain desire, command your subconscious that you do have this certain desire. that you do own this certain thing you want, your subconscious mind doesn’t question it.

because your subconscious mind accepts what it’s given. it doesn’t live off the five senses like your conscious mind does. it feeds off of the thoughts that you feed it daily, it accepts everything. because it doesn’t depend on time nor the five senses that you perceive your current reality with.

use your subconscious mind to your advantage, it is powerful. it brings everything you want into reality. whatever you’re able to think of in your 4D, you can manifest it into your 3D instantly. if that’s what enters and saturates your subconscious mind who’s a slave to you then what’s stopping you from getting your desires? absolutely nothing.

your first and easiest connection to the 4D, a reality where time doesn’t even exist is your subconscious mind.

please remember how time isn’t even real for your subconscious mind. if you want something to happen instantly, it will because it has no choice. you, with your conscious mind, aren’t even able to perceive a quarter of what your subconscious mind perceives every nanosecond. your subconscious mind is incredible. it’s a beast. use it to your advantage, and live the life that was once just an “imagination”.

Thinking about my 'Nadders being able to mimick human speech like parrots' concept again but with a slightly darker take on it?

Deadly Nadders are a fiercely loyal species and are social, so what if when they perceive a threat to their flock they gradually learn to lure people away using human voices (likely the sounds of children or people calling for help) to either A) if you're lucky, just get tricked into walking to the edge of the forest/area so you don't find them, or B) get lost in the woods so the Nadder can spineshot you out of sight.

I also think Changewings could do something similar considering their gaze is hypnotic (in the comics didn't Hiccup get hypnotized by one and almost walked off a cliff?)

[yourmoonie]

Hello, I wonder if it is possible that I want the power to create everything from nothing instantly in the way I want in my current reality ?

So how do I get this power?

Everything you see around yourself was once in someone's IMAGINATION

(The phone you are using📱, the bed you are sleeping on🛌, the shoes you are wearing👟, the taxi that picks you up🚕, your desired company's building🏦, and your desired career,📈 etc)

If we sit down and really think about it, we are ALWAYS manifesting (every second of the day)

You DO have the POWER to 'create' everything from nothing

All you have to do is ASSUME and stand firm in your vision and assumptions (and if you can't do it, that's when you can try different methods to help you with it, since methods just serve as tools)

"An assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact" - Neville

If you are interested in those concepts, you can check out my visual thread about this topic -> link

✨️ An example: When humans wanted to fly, they invented an airplane,🛫 aka manifested an airplane into this reality.

Imagine how bizarre it was like, for a lot of people back then to think that they could fly in the air? But well, the people who manifested the concept of an airplane in their imagination thought otherwise. They believed in their imagination so much that, as a result, it was able to get externalized in the 3D.

Look at this law / manifestation as something effortless and natural (even if it seems "illogical")

"Wilbur and Orville Wright spent four years of research and development to create the first successful powered airplane, the 1903 Wright Flyer. It first flew at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, with Orville at the controls."
