#This is fun and good for my creativity

What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

Oh that's a tough one. Drac's past is rather messy and frankly there is a lot he has been sort of forced to forget in order to function.

Slaps the top of his head - This bad boy can fit so much trauma in him!

I would say that the most common thing to trigger his nostalgia is food and drinks or the smell of them. Especially when consumed or encountered outdoors. It brings him back to his younger adventure days when part of the fun was to explore different places and try the local cuisine.

It is definitely a feeling he enjoys.

He can however pretty much never experience hot chocolate without a pinch of pain anymore. Although it more often than not mainly brings him comfort. ❤️

Last thing I want to mention is that after meeting Edmont, he can definitely never inhale the aroma of or consume tea without thinking of him and how much he adores him. ❤️

Ai art?

Are you fucking joking?

Sorry, no, it is not and I find it so disrespectful you would even think to ask that. I have not and will NEVER touch anything AI related ever in my life, I think it's so utterly pointless and destructive and it frankly makes me wanna kill myself.

So no, it is not and never will be, and you can safely hold that to me for the rest of my existence. I really hope this is the last time someone asks me this.

ID: A watercolor painting outlined with ballpoint pen of a human heart. The heart has been colored brown, and the arteries have been drawn as the caps of Armillaria Ostoyae, a brown mushroom with speckled caps. the veins running over the chambers of the heart are dark brown. The painting has been titled, “Armillaria Ostoyae”.

Art that I made for @narcissistcookbook , who I saw in the flesh tonight :) they and their audience were very cool, soaring over the (low) bar set by the only other concert I have ever been to.

TMA OC!! This is Dandelion, an avatar of the Flesh!! They were a plant geneticist researching the digestive properties of Venus fly traps, who then got a bit too into it (fed their coworkers to their freak of nature human teeth hybrid flytraps that can consume much more complex proteins than horsefly guts)

Viva Piñata art dump

Viva Piñata was my favorite game when I was younger and it influenced my style heavily throughout the years but I've noticed it's like really niche? I haven't seen a lot of people talking about it which is a shame since the whole series is absolutely adorable. So I'm spreading the word myself with some funky doodles

[harlowes-home]

Honestly the sheer hatred for the Minecraft movie trailer and simultaneous mini resurgence of people talking about mcsm has me going back to that game.

Replaying it now and. I’m gonna sob I didn’t realize how much I missed it

Mirabel Madrigal & Creativity:

So something I’ve realized after watching the movie a couple of times now is how mirabels story can easily correlate with the experience of someone creative when you’re only considered of use if you’re academically smart.

Not only do they refer to the magic as “gifts” and “gifted” very common terms associated with people who are considered academically smart but also the fact mirabel is shown as an artist. Our first introduction to her you see her room is plastered in artwork as a 5 year old and even after the prologue you still see she’s kept her artistic side. the thing is mirabel is incredibly talented she draws, she sews, she embroiders, paints, plays the accordion too! These are all incredible talents to possess and yet do we ever see her getting praised for them in the movie? not really. because mirabel doesn’t have a “gift” a literal magic gift yes but also could be interpreted for a creative as academic smarts. Creative thinking is something mirabel possesses and its quite literally the answer in the end but because she’s not smart in the expected way i.e academics she feels she’s not worth as much as others in her family.

I like to think making her an artist was an intentional choice as I know a lot of fellow artists have had people tell us it’s not a “useful” skill to have in the real world. It’s not worth taking the time doing when you could be pursuing medicine or law or something that uses your brain. Even in the ending of the movie mirabel tells them they’re “more than just your gift” which I feel can relate a lot to people who heavily rely on their academic achievements they can forget it’s ok to not do 100% every time and these ridiculous standards are just wearing you down.

So in conclusion I believe mirabels story resonates a lot with the experience of being a creative person but your skills not being seen as valuable. I just love that they made mirabel an artist to show how talented she actually is! she shows that creatives are valued and appreciated and needed and deserve to be encouraged not shot down! so thank you mirabel valentina rojas madrigal for being my favorite artist <3

beastieball gijinkas. I think theyr'e friends

[bugsongs]

the thing about stardew valley in general is there are soooooo many good potential character dynamics that just go completely unexplored. like emily and shane are friends and so i would imagine haley has some interactions with him that i imagine are just them being mean to each other but like in the most casual way possible. haley doing photography and leah doing sculpture and they live pretty close to each other - they would totally collab on an art exhibit i think!

then there's penny and alex who are next door neighbors and i think maybe they interact or stand next to each other once or twice? (edit: nvm i was thinking of sam) but they are both only children of abusive alcoholic parents i think they should bond and become friends! penny is a bookworm and alex is dyslexic but she's very kind and i don't think she would ever make him feel stupid about it. in fact i think maybe they hang out and penny will read out loud to him even!

sam and haley are neighbors and their rooms face each other! do u think they were maybe childhood friends who drifted apart? could they become friends again? maybe sam commissions haley to do some photos of the band for album covers or promotional pics.

maru and abigail!!!! abby is best friends w her half brother so they've definitely crossed paths before. they're completely different people but i could imagine abby shows up when sebastian isn't home and maru is the only one home so she offers to show abby what she's working on, and i think abby would find it all really interesting and maybe they choose to hang out on purpose sometime in the future!

i read a fic once where gus lets alex use his kitchen to make the ice cream for his summer business and i LOVED that!! i can imagine gus taking on a fatherly role towards alex- teaching him how to cook, maybe giving alex some scraps for his dog!!

i could go on but there are just soo many good possibilities in this little town of weirdos and i love love thinking about it!!

dissociative subtype (april 2024)

[theshadowrealmitself]

Can we get more Spider-Man content? I’ve already read through all of the current ones, and I crave more. All of your posts are great and I’d love to see more of them.

I’d love to make more fun posts but I’m still recovering from being sick rn and classes just started back so I’ve been mostly suffering these past few days so my brain just hasn’t really been working 😭

But! I can leave this one thought for you:

Peter Parker working for Norman Osborn while he’s still an undergraduate and getting into a whispered heated argument with him when Norman a) takes one of Peter’s designs and unveils it without crediting him and also b) removes safety features from it to make it cheaper to manufacture it

Peter quits on the spot when he realizes Norman isn’t sorry for what he’s done and isn’t gonna make things right, and Norman threatens him with never getting to “work in this town again” and good luck proving those were his designs and Oscorp’s also keeping all of Peter’s other stuff that they’ve stolen from him

(This is about the time that Norman’s started taking the goblin serum so he’s just at absolute peak asshole™️ mode)

Within seconds of Norman telling Peter he won’t stand a chance against Oscorp’s legal team, especially as a broke college student, Matt Murdock shows up after sprinting towards them (his super hearing letting him hear the entire argument) to hand Peter his business card and let him know he’ll take his case pro-bono

I bought a very nice at home printer and a very nice at home cutting machine!

Because of this, I'm opening a merch tier on my Patreon for 2024!

And, I can print out your favorite panels for you on my shop now ^^ (I can also print of any of my illustrations! I'll add more paper sizes later as I figure out how to ship them 🧡)

[redwinterroses]

Yeah so. You should go read @silverskye13's fic about Tanguish and Helsknight and experience my suffering. /pos
