I LOVE that it's canon that Scout likes to draw, I love it I love it so much. Dang it I wish there were more instances of him drawing and doodling.

Thank you all for the excitement and interest in the Ford & Mabel bonding comic! :D I’m excited to share a story we desperately need. Or at least one for sure. Not too sure how many pages there is going to be but I know for sure it’s not going to be super long like Instinct is. Which leans into the next topic.

I know some are wondering what the state of Instinct is in. To answer probably the most important question: Instinct is not canceled. We are too close to the end of it for me to cancel it. The layout of the next pages is giving me trouble since they’re mostly dialogue heavy (that and brain wants to draw other things). But it will continue hopefully sooner than later!

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

I'm so sorry I'm pretty sure your bard au is supposed to be serious but oh my god I couldn't help but get strong Men In Tights and Monty Python and the Holy Grail vibes

Especially bc of Barnaby I would not put it past him to make a "your mom's a hamster" reference

no no it Is very silly. how can it not be when you've got the neighbors as the characters? silly central. ALSO YOU'RE SO RIGHT VERY STRONG MP&HG VIBES I FUCKING LOVE THAT MOVIE HERE'S SOME REFERENCES

but it is also real. when it's silly its silly and when it's serious!

it's serious.

How did Tucker and Sam first find out about phantom? Was it just that some weird ecto shit was going on nearby and Danny sorta changed without trying to and all, and Sam and Tucker just kinda saw it going “what the fuck-“/silly

Okay and an add on to that, has anyone ever seen Danny change that shouldn’t have, since if he can’t really control it in this AU, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some close calls because Tuck and Sam found a way to cover him

Seconds after Danny leaves for the restroom, a ghost (the Lunch Lady) shows up. In the panic, Sam and Tucker run to check if Danny's okay. Or just generally, get his low blood sugar, close to passing out butt away from the danger zone.

As to how they find out? They rush into the closest restroom. And kinda see the idiot(s) passed out on the floor mid-transformation 👍

I fiddled a lil with the timeline so now the au is kinda no one knows? But Sam and Tuck find out the second the first big bad ghost shows up. In the Dannys' defense, neither of them had any idea what was happening.

Actually... not really? Since Danny and Phantom have Tucker and Sam to cover for them and the two are at Danny's side 24/7, pretty much no one has seen them transform. Wes is the no one.

Nothing better than a silly little guy

coming up with dumb memes to draw ✨Hella Britney Spears Obey Me✨

@shootingstarrfish hope you like these silly drawings <3

I think pre-Book of Bill Billford shippers deserve an award

weird pet peeve of mine don’t put weird fucking filters over andy his face lines are adorable and good

It actually kinda scares me how I'm not the only one who struggles with creating art. I feel like most artists I follow here or elsewhere just kinda struggle. This, or the algorythm just swallows them up for me to think nobody draws anymore. Just once in a while I see a drawing again and it makes me super happy to see that at least someone is faving fun. I try so hard to get creative again and draw my characters and actually start my projects that live 95% just in my head. It's just so damn hard...

Does anyone know the name of that one art style that mixes cartoonist things and then throws in pictures of irl things too? And there's usually some sort of vhs effect. I've been trying to find what it's called for forever now. Im obsessed with it and I want to evolve my own style to be more like it. I especially love when it's more creepy/unsettling. It looks like these. I just really wanna know if there's a name for it

Im going to be soooo normal about this show when it comes out i promise

[bonesandthebees]

when I went to see Oppenheimer there was a guy sitting near me in the theater who tried to chat with me while we were waiting for it to start, and he said in 100% seriousness, "glad I'm in here with other intellectuals instead of seeing the Barbie movie" and scoffed and despite the fact that I genuinely wanted to see Oppenheimer I had never been more tempted to get up and walk out of the theater to the Barbie showing next door

The task I wanted to do:

- task 1: Visualize the fourth dedekind number

What I needed to do in order to do task 1:

- task 1.1: Draw a hypercube and

- task 1.2: then give each of the 16 vertices a name - which is the 16 different "cells" (I dunno which word to use, sorry) of a venn diagram with 4 overlapping sets plus a circle around that 4-venn diagram.

- - -- ---

//additional info: For the 3rd dedekind number visualization I already posted I needed to use 20 cubes. Each of the 8 vertices of a cube was related to 3 sets - A, B and C - and the intersections of these sets. (AB, AC, BC, ABC)

You remember this post:

... and these details:

...and now back to the 4th dedekind number, which follows the same principle, - but in 4 dimensions.

- So we need a hypercube - and a 4th set/letter:

Now we have 4 letters - alias 4 sets

- and 11 combinations of these sets:

AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD, (6)

ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD, (4)

ABCD (1)

=> 11 different intersections + 4 "pure" sets. (sorry for ignorant wording)

So, we have 15 of these now. What is with the 16th (as the hypercube has 16 vertices)? Yeah, that one is the circle you imagine around the 4-set venn diagram.

- - -- ---

This is a 4-set venn diagramm btw:

--- -- - -

So, back to me attempting to do the 4th dedekind-number visualization:

So I started to draw that venn diagram using ellipses, but I slightly altered it, because I wanted to use my isometric grid paper. (The angles of my drawing are different than in the picture depicted above.)

I started to draw the 4 ellipses, and I somehow started to see two intertwined/interlocked tubes due to the additional helplines I used for drawing.

Then I started to use my thicker black pen to make this effect of these two interlocked tubes more visible:

Now I plan to write the sets/letters at the backside of that piece of paper - in mirrored, so I can hold this piece of paper (with the tube drawing in front) against the light - and see the letters of the set names shining through.

i might also add some details to the tubes.

More Touhou Headcanons

This one is funny i think because it was developed from an oversight of mine haha

Basically at like that far away 2013-15 i think i didn't know the thing about [Men in Touhou] i knew most of them were girl but didn't know that there's like only 5 (counting Shingyoku male form) male somewhat relevant males and the first time i saw Wriggle Nightbug i thought she was a boy because

I mean look at her

And so i headcanon her as genderfluid and sometimes she gives himself masc titles like, king of insects, emperor of bugs, etc, sometimes even Pale King you know like that guy that doomed his kingdom because a moth haha

Yeah that's today ramble have the Buggo and her friends
