I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

the way all those viral “im just a girl” TikToks ignore the “take this pink ribbon off my eyes” “this world is forcing me to hold your hand” “so don’t let me have any rights” is fascinating to me. just unabashedly ignoring the song to make a video about like, buying too much makeup or your boyfriend having to order food for you

A quick 'how's it going' update, maybe? Since I haven't been posting much lately.

Things aren't great, I've been going through very challenging times. My physical health and finances collapsed simultaneously and without a warning at the end if August and I've been stuck in increasingly dire survival mode since. I've used up all my savings. I had been doing so much better all of 2023 but now my depression has worsened again steeply, partly due to the aforementioned stressors no doubt. It's such a bitter pill to swallow to notice I'm sliding back to the position where every day is another struggle to simply continue existing, and I have no energy left for anything besides the most basic life preserving routines. I'm taking one day at the time, trying to keep engaging with things that I normally enjoy to hopefully help me climb out of the tar pit, but I don't know. My old computer is dying, it keeps shutting itself off sporadically so drawing has become a nerve-racking experience. Feels bad. It's like the world is dimming and growing cold, and I feel helpless to reverse this course.

I hope you're doing better than I am. Things are pretty rotten across the board right now, it seems. Stay safe.

"I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless, and they don't want anyone else to feel like that."

This quote from Robin Williams has always stuck with me.

There's a reason I mostly make cute, wholesome art, even when things are dark and I'm crumbling inside. Its because I love making you all smile. And I hope you never have to feel as sad as I do.

ohhhhhh ghostlight loop we’re really in it now

FANART FOR @ghostlightfic GO READ GHOSTLIGHT NEOW!!!!!! i’m so so normal about this fic i prommy. anyways!!!! greyscale version + some design notes below! because i’m very normal about character design 😊

ok design notes time!!

for once i actually am normal about colors here. this is just colorpicked from my normal loop design! which is in turn colorpicked from siffrin’s design. not much to say here!

i generally tried to make them more angular compared to sif? their hair is a lot spikier, the silhouette of their sweater is more pointed, just Sharper shapes all around. idk. hard to put into words

hoping the glowy hair comes across well here. i also tried to make their hair look a bit less messy, since they actually take care of their hair! no flyaways here.

ahhhhhh i Had to make the sweater Fucking Massive i can’t reject my nature. i wanted to have the vague silhouette of the cloak while still keeping it it’s own thing?? i feel like sif could have something like this somewhere. idk. i tried to make it look a bit weathered, since it’s a hand-me-down from sif and that bastard does not take good care of his clothes.

don’t. ask me whether they’re wearing shoes or not. my normal loop design has Built In Heels but you can draw your own conclusions.

not a design note but for some reason i kept forgetting whether or not loop had a scar???? i literally had their description in the fic open as a reference and i STILL kept forgetting to draw it. i’m so so good at remembering things

anyways!!!!!!! go read ghostlight!!!!! it’s really good go read it. anyways. greyscale version as promised 🩶

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

Definition of ‘power couple’

I feel bad for drawing the younger version of her because she feels so much more badass when she’s old [and that’s how we actually see her obviously] but I just wanted to draw them together, I hope ya like it !!

Also I’m obsessed with designing a whole wardrobe for them, I have SO MANY outfits for her, it’s fucking crazy,,,

Idea was made by @baylardo. She provided a little scribble and I messed with it.

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

The Favourite (teaser)

Pairing: Aemond Targaryen x brothel employee!reader

Warnings: angst, mommy issues, mentions of SA, smut, reader is a bit older than Aemond, emotions?

Long Synopsis: On his thirteenth nameday, Aegon brings his little brother to the brothel, thinking it’s time for Aemond to become a man. He pays more than he usually does his whores to have the best one, Madame Sylvi no less. She serves young Prince Aemond as a Prince deserves, showing her well-crafted skills. When she leaves the room, the young boy feels like retching on the floor.

He’s unaware that someone is watching, has been watching all along. Because Madame has bought another girl and she has no time to teach her all the tricks. So, she tells her to watch and learn through a peephole, special feature of all the brothels. And she watches, feeling her skin crawl, but she doesn’t stay there. She gets closer, unexpectedly closer, more than anyone has dared or cared enough to.

A week later, he returns to the brothel and asks for her. He will for all the times to come, while he grows into a man. And the whores and the customers begin to whisper, to question, to guess, because there’s only a curtain separating the Prince and the woman from the hall, but above the music they hear no moans, lewd cries or sounds of flesh against flesh coming from there.

Occasionally, they only see a glass of milk being brought in. Sometimes, they steal a furtive look inside and see the Prince lying in her lap, both of them sprawled on soft cushions, candles all around. Sometimes, she takes him to her private room upstairs, holding his hand as they walk through the crowd, all dazed and whispering. They call her The Favourite.
