that southern food poll got me truly sad and homesick and then my office had a party tonight and they got SOUL FOOD so i had cornbread and red beans and rice and mac n cheese and it was all soooo good but i actually might still be a little homesick ugh north carolina baby come claim me i wanna swim in a creek and patch my cuts with superglue and catch fireflies and fish for sharks and sweat all day and hear my grandma’s accent :( :( :(

#every once in a while i just #miss it #am from georgia and north carolina #but north carolina has always felt so home-y to me #bc i spent summers there #and i just get lonely for it #i want my aunt’s fried shrimp and hushpuppies #and to watch a freshly caught fish get skinned #and to feel comfy enough to sound like myself #:(

cassie sandsmark star jorts from issue #23 of yj98 you have always been famous to me

(before pic + additional photos and unnecessary ramblings under the cut)

I made these jorts in 22 hours over the course of 3 days! pure willpower via my love for cassie sandsmark because I am a total novice in sewing and i am still not very good at it. (i really just combined various tutorials and improvised on measurements and then regretted improvising measurements later on).

I thrifted these jeans last year for cassie vibes (even though I had already made her star-spangled red bellbottoms at that point) and wasn't a fan of how they fit + I couldn't figure out how to style them. I enjoyed sewing in the panels to flare them out and then everything else (cargo pockets and sewing in stars) was hell <3

the pockets are not placed well (nor are they particularly well-made), the hem is uneven, the stars are quite janky (and I think I stitched on too many), I probably stabbed my fingers a million times, and I am so in love with them

#these jorts are stained with the blood of my incapabilities but its okay because theyre already red #what should i conquer next in the cassie sandsmark wardrobe #as of current i have made: her GIRL necklace + her red star earrings + her wonder girl shirt (crop t-shirt version)#+ as aforementioned- her red bellbottoms #all of the above aside from the red bellbottoms were made for my halloween costume last year #the red bellbottoms were made last summer just bc i already had red bellbottoms that i never wore #none of the above really cycle through my everyday wardrobe #but i'm hoping these shorts will be an exception!#(i also have a very similar fit to what she wears in issue 22 of yj98- light green polo + dark blue baggy jeans)#(will probably just make an oversized ww shirt to go with my lightwash jorts for a baby cassie look.)#(should i be looking for a denim vest too... i can put a wonder woman patch on it...)#cassie sandsmark #wonder girl #cassandra sandsmark #young justice #yj98 #young justice comics #wonder woman #dc #dc comics #soo much rambling happening in this post. sorry guys i've spent the last 3 days in hyperfocus mode and now i need release

Family album

details under the cut

#i'm so happy with how this turned out!!#i spent so long on tiny unimportant details but i love them #like how the stamps run of out ink by the end and you can see the last bit got stamped twice #there are smudges by the drawings bc crayons smudge everything #wren's first shaky attempt at writing #the plastic wrap and fingerprint smudges #the little photos in the corner having multiple copies bc when you print the tiny ones they always do multiple #idk man i put a lot of my own crinkly photo album memories in this one #*summers #*summers extras #ts4 #sims 4 #ts4 edit #sims 4 edit #gen 1 #*dana #*dawn #*rhea #*cedar

ava, end of september, first semester of college

#ts4 #ts4 edit #ts4edit #myedits*#ava*#wanted to give ava a new haircut and then i ofc added meaning to it aksdsad #basically. last summer before college and last month of highschool were very very different to how they pictured #so this is after theyve had time to try and settle into that big change (not college they do be struggling lmao)#so theyre a bit out of their comfort zone with some clothes and trying new things #she spent the summer with carter on the ranch and took some inspo while still being them yknow #the denim top one im like struggling to see on ava #but she 'stole' it from carter bc she really liked it (which i do feel ava would like it) but doesnt know how to quite style it in their st #-le #tbf a lot of her wardrobe is sweaters and hoodies with shorts in september but this this is the broader variety #idk im a bit nervous on this one bc i tried to show a change while still retaining their style #again the denim vest is a mystery on how to style for them for both me and ava #but i tried bc ava stole it out of carters closet bc it was cool #anyways...

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..

#to cheer me up.. i feel bad atm.. these things don't even make me feel very good tho bc i'm such a narrative/sketch-based artist..#but Proper Beautiful Finished Pieces are what grab attention and look good at the end of the year all neatly lined up lol.....#so looking at a “yearly review” where i can only choose 'the best image of the month' (??) is like...What have i even been doing...#i did a month by month look back on twt for myself instead..but even that doesn't express the quantity of comic-based stuff..#that i do put a lot of time/heart into..but alas i feel bad bringing even them back..RTing/reblogging my own art simply feels bad lol..#AND WHY IS IT ALL B&W...trying to accept that i LIKE doing that and sketching and scribbling..not like i'm trying to like..Get Artist Job..#this year was so profoundly lonely at times bc i spent all my time drawing instead of socialising and trying to find friends....#please please please have achieved more of your dreams in the future so you can look back at 2023 and think..#It was good that happened so that it got me further to the future. Or whatever i guess.....................#regardless i did have a great amount of fun drawing and improving this year and dwelling deeply & heavily on witch hat atelier.#art-wise and emotionally....march july & september were the best months i think..AUGUST WAS SO WEIRD SUMMER IS SO EVIL ALWAYS.#thank you very much if you are reading this for enjoying & leaving nice tags & such like <3 i've realised how fulfilling that is to receive #really keeps me posting stuff here instead of keeping it all to myself in my head #i wish everyone in this world could have a safe and happy end of year. i wish living in this world were easier

You guys don’t know how much yearning for Baghdad takes up of my mental real estate

#I have so many videos saved of last year’s trip #Me and my cousin laughing and joking w my dad while getting ready #The fact that multiple men asked my dad for my hand in marriage (lmao)#Me calling my mom every night to make fun of my “suitors”#All the gorgeous restaurants #Forcing my dad to rate every dress I tried on whenever he took me somewhere #Being catcalled by guys was an unpleasant experience but it was still fun to laugh ab it w my mom #Me having a MASSIVE crush on a family friend #That one time my dad said all the dresses I brought were too short so he bought me a dress that #Went down to literally my ankles #But the family friend was gonna be there so I showed it to my mom and she was like #“You’d wear that??? The queen of mini skirts????” And then she IMMEDIATELY clocked me and was like #Ur behaving strangely. U must have a crush. Who is it.#The hot fuckin summer nights that I spent sitting outside w my cousin on the big swing in the garden #The capital when it was drenched in sunset #When my aunt’s husband took me to the University of Baghdad and I got to literally play act being a student there #Which was a profound experience bc it’s the university my mom went to #Sneaking into the library even though u needed a student pass for that (:#Shadowing my uncle in his laboratory #My first ever nishan !!!#No weddings sadly but I got to see the buildup to the wedding so #And I think getting to call the shots and fly solo from the states to Amman and then to Baghdad was sick as hell #My mom never let me fly abroad by myself before and now im probably gonna be going solo all the time #Help I need to go back #Bro I wish I could drop everything #But before I go to Baghdad I’ll probably have to go to Belgium first for my uncle #SO many stops before I get to where I rly wanna be #I never explicitly told my dad im not religious but I think he already knows im full of sin. Memories..#Omg and my bibi’s delicious food

watching isttvg with your partner and holding their hand with the sudden awareness of how close you came to death. thinking: we are alive, we are alive, we are alive. thinking: every day we save ourselves from more and worse. thinking: for the love of god, dont let go.

#i saw the tv glow #obviously we are both trans #im with my family for the summer and i forget who i am #i see her speak to her father and i feel sick with pain #but we are alive. we are here. we are crawling out of that grave inch by inch #once i said 'im not trans bc i could keep pretending to be cis'. i get made fun for it and rightfully so #but that sentiment is death. that sentiment is death. nothing else.#we have spent so much of our lives lying. suffocating and lying and apologizing for everything that's true.#this is me stopping. please come with me. please stop. for the love of god - keep crawling. please. we have to go.#this cannot be us. never again. we cannot pretend reality away we cannot choose not to see it. itll kill us.#i found our hearts and theyre still beating. we are alive. there is still time #for as long as your heart is beating. there is still time. please. dont let go.

RIP Krakoa 🌹 I can’t lie I’ve been kinda behind since midway through Fall of X I’m gonna catch up before my first SDCC this summer but I hear Vulcan didn’t see much action anyway. Anyway my hand slipped and I found myself looking into the eyes of my canonically psychotic son the best Summers brother who’s never done anything wrong in his entire life, (he’s done lotsa wrong things but I love him more for it)

#canonically psychotic = he canonically has psychosis. (not in the ableist way in that hes evil. which he is. lemme enjoy problematic rep)#Gabriel Summers #art by seaweed #words by seaweed #X-Men Red #the Gabriel hate during the Krakoa era pffffft. was 100% from ppl who didnt read the Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire #“he attacked Storm” hes also a genocidal dictator who tortures ppl for catharsis. drunkenly coming at Ororo is the least bad thing he did #“he's a douche” mother of all understatements. now get this man back w his boyfriend who he forced to be his best man under pain of death #Gabriel fans LOVE that Ororo beat his ass. he deserved it. it was a fake discourse made up by a certain segment of goddess!Ororo fans #I say as an Ororo fan! Shes my fav A-list x-man🥰 yes Gabe was at a mental low but Ororo didnt know that. that was Scott's responsibility.#psychotic Emperor Vulcan is what we call a problematic mentally ill villain trope. I love him SO much. (okay lets talk)#we don’t know much about his childhood but we do know he spent 2 years in a fugue state after escaping slavers when he was like ten ):#as an “adult”-ish he's uh “mentally” 15 or sumn according to the calculations claimed to him by his hallucination of his actual child self #and apart from THOSE hallucinations. he’s very paranoid to the point of killing his advisors because he becomes convinced-#that they’re plotting to kill him. they aren't. he relies on Calseye to ground him thru his paranoia. and then of course in the Krakoa era #he believes his energy constructs of Petra and Sway who drink with him till he blacks out every single day are real. he isnt consciously #creating them; but he sees them- and bc he’s a godlike mutant his subconscious makes his hallucinations visible. making everyone uncomfy #Charles tries to use telepathy to FORCIBLY reality check him. which of course triggers his trauma. and GABE is punished for it?#(oh plus our finding out Gabe got brain surgery done on him by some gods outside the universe offpanel. he never does well with tampering)#and now the writers who pushed Hickman out (also RIP Sabretooth & the Exiles. RIP Hellions) want us to be SAD Krakoa is gone?#yes Gabriel is the mentally ill villain trope. but Krakoa never cared for mutants who couldn’t fit in. who were traumatized. disabled. etc #Alex OF ALL PEOPLE should understand that. ALEX should’ve been there for Gabriel. (why wasn't he. did he hold a grudge for past torture.)#Alex also w Murder-Enjoying Disorder but it was actually treated as an illness and those in authority presented as wrong for excluding him #instead of helping him. which v flawed but Hellions was one of the best mental illness comics? like Zeb Wells was conscious of the genre #but Gabriel was just… cast out. for panicking when his prime traumatizer Charles invaded his mind. he deserved help too #and all because his family were annoyed at him for drinking all night and throwing up and passing out on the floor? for being delusional?#And like- all of the summers brothers are nd (Scott's brain damage; Alex's dissociative episodes; Gabriel's psychosis)#I have nothing to say about Adam X ((I highly doubt he's neurotypical and/or mentally healthy)) ((nothing to say abt him tho))#and Gabes paranoia is 100% rooted in his issues of being made to feel like an outsider. like YES the obvious MUTANT identity but also #he thinks his father abandoned him to be a slave. he's not Summers enough for Scott. hes not Shi'ar enough for the Shi'ar

i know we’re shifting into springtime but climate anxiety has me genuinely unsettled and nervous abt the temperature not being freezing anymore 😭 like i let out a big sigh of relief when i saw the forecast predicting snow this weekend as if i was seeing a negative pregnancy test. this is all almost exclusively ronald reagan’s fault i will not expand upon that

#diary #my ocd loooooves obsessing over temperatures and weather forecasts 🤩 i spent the entire summer of 2020 and 2021 unable to turn a fan on #like i was so fucking terrified of my dinky walmart fan making heatwaves even worse bc of its electricity consumption that i basically made #myself sick for 4 months 2 years in a row and could barely sleep bc the nights were so sweaty #thank god for medication and the strength of spirit he has given me since then lmao #typing this out actually was therapeutic lmao it made me realize how ridiculous and unnecessary that was when i made it up in my head #to be such a huge life changing moral obligation. when in reality i probably took years off my life span w how miserable and exhausted i was #and theres no universe in which me turning a fan on during a heatwave solves climate change #whew. i need a real diary girl
