Hartland, Day 86, Part 2

Meredith has an active want to go to college, so that means homework time!

I think you're supposed to look at the ball, Junior...

Mary's enjoying the view from Rocky and River's balcony.

Maddox: Daddy, when you were at school, did your teacher play music whilst you were writing? Mr Gutenberg says it helps us concentrate, but he only plays silly stuff without words and so I keep thinking about what the words should be, so I don't think it really helps me concentrate.

Meredith spends her evening painting.

Leo: How's Junior feeling about Candy?

Mary: He hasn't said much, but I think he's okay. More upset for his girls than himself - he and Candy haven't been together for twenty-five years.

Leo: Morgan, it's your birthday tomorrow!

Mary guesses when the plumbing in this house is as old as it is, you have to expect an exploding sink from time to time.

The family spent the evening at home, enjoying the new facilities.

some Hundreds Of Beavers parody posters that made me lose my mind

“Fancy finding you here”

Guess whose computer crashed and deleted the color while I was drawing Fusedstone/ Lostshipping. Anyways, I need a fanfic with them BY YESTERDAY!! Please someone do it, I barely have time to draw them and I can’t write and draw at the same time.

If one were to print out a large amount of fanfics, how well-fortified would the resulting slash pile be after the introduction of a family of woodchucks?

While I appreciate the pun, the answer is not very because the thing that makes paper take ink so well is also the thing that makes it not very structurally stable .

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Depths of Darkness

[sunflowerandstrawberryspice]

I love a good old fashioned predetermined destiny that can not be stopped. Everyone knows that Garmadon is my favorite character by this point and while Lloyd isn't one of my favorite characters (not cause he's a bad character I just like others more) I still really like his story and arc over the course of the story.

I will never not think it's interesting that both Lloyd and Garmadon had fates that they couldn't change or escape. Lloyd was always going to be the green ninja it was destined before he was even a thought, before he was even born, before he could develop a true sense of self a title was thrust upon him and thusly the expectations of everyone around him. Garmadon on the other hand was doomed from the second he was bit by the Great Devourer maybe even before then. He was his father's Oni half and he was very aware of that fact throughout his entire journey in Spinjitzu Brothers we see him slowly begin to think he is destined to ultimately left evil and alone. He tries to be good time and time again only to be possessed, killed and brought back to life without his good half.

Tattoo translations:

Garmadon: Statera Latin for Balance

Lloyd: Iussum Latin for Order

Anyways I like to think Lloyd and Garmadon look kinda similar in facial features and stuff while also looking really different. I think Garmadon probably has a couple of tattoos (it just makes sense for him) and I think Lloyd has maybe one or two but they're smaller but meaningful. Also I think I've FINALLY settled on a Lloyd design, since before now it's been changing every time.

I just think these Legos are interesting :)

So like we all know that ninjago pulls inspiration from other Asian cultures not just Japanese culture right?

Well does this apply to only ninjago? (Like the realm not the show)

We don't really see much of the other realms but are they also solely based on asian cultures or are they free to pull from any culture

Frances ends up befriending Rocky Beech, and that's about all the pictures I have of his "round", haha. Maybe I'll play him some more later.

Hartland, Day 86, Part 6

Everyone's enjoying the summer afternoon.

I don't recall inviting Sapphira but she appears to have appointed herself bartender.

Morgan grew up wanting to make a friend, so he honed in on Gaby.

Meredith: I can't believe Morgan's about to start school. It seems like only yesterday he was born!

Leo: Now you know how I feel about you!

Gaby: I'm muerto!

Morgan: You're what? I don't know that word.

Gaby: Oh sorry. It must be Spanish. I don't remember which words are English or Spanish sometimes. I don't know the English word... not alive.

Malachi: Can I play?

Maddox: In a bit.

What a dreamboat!

The party was too big for me to keep much of an eye on so I just let everyone run wild. It scored well, so I guess things went okay. Morgan spent most of it befriending Gaby, whilst his siblings went up for naps at various points.

Kerbal Space Program is free on the epic game store for the next few days (ends the 12th)

In case any of my followers are interested in getting an absolutely incredibly accurate and fun space exploration simulator. Get it while you can. Even if you don't think you'll get to it anytime soon, don't miss out.

Love Rocky and the wildlife that live here, let's all do our part to protect them!

When driving, slow down and follow the posted speed limits.

Wildlife can walk, fly, or hop across roads at any time. Be especially careful in the morning and early evening, during the times of day when wildlife like elk and Mule deer are on the move. It is your responsibility to keep an eye out for wildlife. When you see wildlife trying to cross park roads, stop. Give wildlife time to safely cross.

Never feed wildlife!

This includes ALL wildlife, big or small, chipmunks, birds, elk ... you get the picture. Feeding wildlife can cause problems for both people and wildlife. Wildlife that receive food rewards begin to associate humans with food. They can become aggressive in their search for food and bite or damage property. Also, human food is not part of their natural diet and can make wildlife sick or kill them.

It is illegal to feed, approach, or harass wildlife.

Party time! Goldie, as always, clung to Woody. Coral danced with her cousin Garry, who was older and already enrolled in university, but they got along well.

Hugh was still on his, uhh, prowl.

Holy shit am I glad this is done. This thing took days.

Anyway years ago I made a drawing called Ode to Broadway featuring a bunch of musicals I love and I decided to redo it, this time drawn digitally and with more musicals added in (I also changed the name to Ode to Musicals because not all of these have stage adaptations).

The musicals featured here are: The Sound of Music, Singin' in the Rain, The Lion King, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Annie, La La Land, Hairspray, Cabaret, Chicago, Grease, The Wizard of Oz, Hamilton, Cats, The Producers, The Greatest Showman, The Music Man, Moulin Rouge, Fiddler on the Roof, Sweeney Todd, West Side Story and Little Shop of Horrors.

Now when I got to West Side Story I had a dilemma: do I do the original film or the remake? Because amazingly, Steven Spielberg did something unbelievable: made a remake to an already perfect classic film and said remake was also absolute perfection. Nonetheless I decided to go with the original. 

Two musicals I wanted to include but didn't are Rent and In the Heights just because I couldn't think of a way to fit them in.

Also I didn't want to add any animated musicals in, so that's why there's nothing from Disney for example (except for the Broadway adaptation of The Lion King, of course).

I also didn't want actors to appear twice in this, which is why Mary Poppins isn't here even though I would've loved to add it because I already have Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music here. Same reason I only chose one of Jacques Demy's musicals, because Catherine Deneuve also stars in The Young Girls of Rochefort and Donkey Skin.
