28 for the micro story post ?

28. Something about [them]

Goth!yn time, also yn is a big fan of bugs in this one if you're not into that. This one got away from me a little bit I don't think it can be called micro anymore lol

When you had first been hired on as daycare assistant, Sun was absolutely, positively, one thousand percent certain you were not the right fit for the position.

Your dark, dreary clothes stood out like a sore thumb against the bright, cheery plastic of the daycare. Your eye makeup was heavy and dark, and judging by your taste in jewelry you were far, far too interested in awful awful creepy-crawlies. He'd caught glimpses of you before you changed into your employee uniform, and it was all too easy to slot you into the role of 'villain' when your chosen outfits fit so neatly in with the story book illustrations of evil, scary characters that the heros would defeat without fail.

...admittedly, it soon became rather difficult to keep up that assumption.

There was just... something about you. Something that kept drawing him back to you, try as he might to resist.

Eventually, despite his initial coldness, he found himself warming up to you. Sun is nothing if not stubborn, and he's honestly a little embarrassed nowadays at how long it took him to admit that he may have misjudged you.

But, those days were far behind him.

Today, he sits at a table much too small for him, trying his best to seperate his focus between colouring and chatting with his table of little superstars, and listening in on your conversation a table or two away.

"Did you know your bracelet has a bug in it?" A boy at your table asks. Sun knows exactly which bracelet he's referring to, probably his least favourite of your jewelry. A braided cored with a scorpion encased in resin. For all that you two had gotten closer, he could not for the life of him figure out why you were so fond of the awful thing.

"Yes I did!" you rely, excitement clear in your voice, turning your wrist to let him see better. "I picked it because of the bug, in fact."

"Oh," the boy responds before pausing. "...Why?" He eventually asks. Sun grabs for a blue crayon, nodding along with the particularly complicated story being told at his table.

"I like them," is your simple but honest answer. "Did you know some scorpions glow in the dark?"

Sun sneaks a quick glance back at your table. The boy has grabbed your wrist, and is studying your bracelet very intensely, like if he just looks hard enough, he'll be able to figure out all the secrets the scorpion holds. You've got a smile on your face as you patiently let the boy twist your wrist this way and that to examine the little preserved pest. Sun quickly looks back to his paper, ignoring the way his fans start running just a little bit faster.

Time passes. The boy does not resume his questioning, and Sun is quickly pulled into a lively debate about which is better- fairy princesses or fairy ninja princesses. He's so caught up in the debate, he doesn't notice the little pair of eyes watching him. Soon enough, arts and crafts time is over and it's time for clean up.

Sun goes around the room, collecting all the drawings so they can be sent home. When he reaches your table, however, he becomes very aware of the boy you were talking to glaring up at him with all the seriousness of a heart attack.

"Mr Sun, are you a bug?"

"What!?" Sun's voice is strained. It's a miracle he's able to stop himself from ripping the papers in his surprise. "Whatever makes you say that, friend?" Oh how he wishes he could glare at you right now, as you try desperately to hide your laughter. The other children at the table are not so shy in their amusement.

"You look like one," he declares like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "And, and you've got an ummm... exo-skeleton! Like a bug!"

"Noo friend, I'm not a bug, not a bug at all!" He clarifies, swiftly recovering as he gathers the drawings. "I'm a robot!"

The boy considers this. He must not like whatever it is he decides because he looks at Sun a tad angry as he asks his next question. "Why aren't you a bug?"

You seem to have developed an awful cough right at this exact moment. How unfortunate.

"Well, I'm simply far too big!" He eventually lands on. "Bugs are tiny tiny tiny, right friend? I'm simply too tall!"

The boy seems satisfied with this answer, nodding his head and going back to helping put all the crayons back into their box. You stand up, leaving him to cleanup while you prepare the next activity.

You pat him on the arm as you pass, throwing him a grin. "Dont worry Sun, you're my favourite bug," you say, walking away before he has a chance to react.

It's probably for the best. Sun doesn't think he'd ever live it down if you saw how flustered being call a bug, your favourite bug, made him.

She’s done! This is, to my knowledge, the first ever Black Butler work I did. Grell actually used to be favourite character and I used to hate Sebastian (most because I watched the anime and his characterisation in the anime is utter garbage, as Americans say). I liked her because she had a cool chainsaw :) I later learnt the joys of projecting onto fictional characters and read the manga, which turned me to the dark side (being a Sebastian fan), and the rest, they say, is history.

So when I made this drawing back in 2016 I did not know Grell was a woman, because at the ripe old age of Child, living in bumfuck nowhere (a descriptor that can be applied to most of Scotland) I didn’t know that trans people existed. However, that is a bit of a rubbish twist, so I had her sat next to a slain bizarre doll, because I also hadn’t heard of Book of Atlantic at the time.

Tldr, it’s okay to not know things

i was scrolling through photos i’ve taken at art museums and was reminded of this piece by marie laurencin (titled chanson de bilitis after a collection of poetry by a fictitious contemporary of sappho). it’s a print and this isn’t the exact one i saw/took a photo of but the picture is higher quality

this was one of the pieces that stood out to me the most the whole museum trip last november and it’s still so striking to me. it has occurred to me that the conjoining is kinda twin fantasy which is why i felt the need to share it. anyway. lesbians!

finally discovered a way to do shading that.....isn't completely awful?? im going a lil insane over this newfound power but shhh

[selchwife]

someone i don't recognize (idk if they were following me or what) liked my goofy nose kissing post and they were like "I'm Proship Now!" in their bio like. okay well I'm Blocking You Now. idfk why people like that even Try It.

i scrolled for a bit to block some other blogs they interact with, and i'm still stunned by the stance that "you're proship if you're against harassment." like Look just because i think it's wrong to send people tumblr anons telling them to kill themselves or whatever doesn't mean i think they shouldn't be criticized for what they say or do. but that crowd i feel unilaterally takes "don't speak to me if you're proship" and "i don't like xyz type of writing" as harassment.

also them having a complaint about aggro DNI banners really made me laugh. not that i think DNIs are always the most useful or that they're a substitute for the block button, but i think maybe people would not be so aggressive about it if you guys stopped interacting with people who outright state they do not want you to do so. i wouldn't even know about this clown if they weren't in my likes.
