I found a giant pad of watercolor paper on my shelf and was suddenly possessed with the need to paint Him .
[ID] A scan of a watercolor painting of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role. It is a profile drawing, with him facing towards the right. There appears to be a slight breeze blowing up his hair. He has a soft, sweet, almost sad (depending on the interpretation) smile on his face. The background is full of peacock feathers and sunflowers and shimmering crescent moons. [end ID]
#my cheapass gel pens hate me but it's ok#I still don't know how to draw his coat#love him though <3#quillnart#critical role#mollymauk tealeaf

re: "leftists" who don't practice mutual aid, I feel like this happens a lot when their idea of "leftism" is getting to be the one who lives like a rich capitalist, like when you ask them what their job would be on the commune and they say they will play video games and draw fanart while other commune workers are basically their servants, and they are not incapable of contributing labour bc of disability
post was joke

Tips on Accessorizing for Cheap !!
this has been said to death already, but find the cheapest second-hand or thrift store you can in your area, and become a fiend. there’s a lot of great jewelry that’s hidden in there
furthermore, lots of thrift stores will have auctions to get rid of what doesn’t sell. here, you can get actual buckets of things for like,, $5 USD. you can ask the staff if they host these, and they’ll let you know! in my experience, you either have to be 18+ or be accompanied by someone who is, so if you’re young, grab your favorite trusted adult and go get some shit for dirt cheap. (this doesn’t stop at accessories, actually, i got all of my dishes and some furniture and books this way. just make sure to clean it !!)
if you’re interested in using chains and such for accessories, get them at a hardware store!! they’ll be sturdy and last you a good amount of time, while also being much cheaper than anything you’d find at a store.
ask around!! see if anyone you know has things they want to get rid of that you can snatch up
follow tutorials from punks. the entire subculture is built on rebellion, and thus relies very little on consumption. i’ve seen punks use the waistbands of old jeans as bracelets before, and look sick as fuck while doing it. even if that’s not the style you’re aiming for, you can still take the principles and practices and apply it to your own style.
get versatile!! i’ve used necklaces as pseudo-belts and bracelets before, and have wrapped bracelets around hair-ties. scarves can be ribbons or belts or hair-ties, too!! everything has a second, secret usage
things that aren’t accessories can also very easily become accessories if you try hard enough. bottle tabs can be tied together to make shapes and charms (many tutorials and patterns can be found on Pinterest!) and random pieces of thread can become charms if you learn how to tie certain knots.
diy and crafts!! save bottle caps and turn them into pins, spare ribbons as bracelets or earring charms. dollar stores and walmarts and such have supplies to craft your own jewelry, too! lobster hooks, thread, beads, earring hooks, etc.! you can even bypass this by buying sturdy enough wire and making the earring hook yourself, if that’s your only option. tie buttons together, and you end up with a bracelet, tie even more and you have a necklace or a belt or whatever the hell you want.
if you get some bobby pins and then hot glue charms or whatever onto them, you get hair clips!! just try and make sure the charm isn’t too heavy so it’ll stay in your hair.
libraries and other public services might have jewelry making or knitting or crocheting nights where you can learn how to craft and take what you create back home for free!! check that out (and also support your local library. get a library card i beg of you.)
you can prolong cheaply made jewelry (especially rings) by coating it in a layer of clear nail polish. it’ll stop it from turning your fingers green, and provide a protective layer between the metal and any sweat or water it might come into contact with
kids sections of stores. i am not even playing right now, go get yourself some hair clips meant for 6 year olds. if you figure out how to style it, it’ll be perfect.
remember that you can use and do literally whatever the fuck you want, so long as you like how you look. loop dental floss through buttons and wrap it around your wrist, or make a charm out of knots and hang it on the zipper of your jacket, or cut off the straps off of an old unusable bag and make it a choker. have fun with it
i’m American, so some of these might not translate well to other countries. if you have any advice to add, please do!!
#i’m a fashion girlie but i was raised by an incredibly frugal man so i had to learn how to be cute on a BUDGET.#i can post some examples of my crafts n such if anyone wants me to!! <3#i like showing off my jewelry hehe#fashion#jewelry#i don’t post much fashion stuff on here but i feel like sharing my cheapass knowledge is a good thing

having my phone out of her case is such a bad feeling. i feel like i'm handling spun glass. she's so thin....... so fragile..... so light.... she is like those vulnerable crabs on the beach during shell trading time, and i must protect her from the gulls....
#my stupid cheapass mall case is peeling at the edge around the camera#so whenever i try to take pictures there's an obnoxious pink slice thru them from the wilting case grrrrr#as soon as the glue dries honey.... we'll get u safe again.......#jj stuff

man i really wish corey would stop closing the gym for days at a time for vacations when he wont compensate people who paid to use his gym for it being closed
#racing!#idk if that makes sense#but at his gym u pay for like. time period packs (ex: unlimited use for 2 weeks/months/whatever)#and there are personal training session packs u can get#but if u book a pt session and afterwards he decides hes gonna close the gym down the day of ur session u dont get a free session to comp#he just pockets ur money. and if u reschedule the original session u have to pay again#hes such a scumbag i need to find a better gym#one with a WORKING AC UNIT. hes apparently had that shit broken for a year#but i bet even if it werent busted he still wouldnt turn it on to save on electricity bc hes a cheapass and he likes seeing us suffer
