As You Assume, So you Are

Our assumptions are the basis for the reality we inhabit. The power of our thoughts, and beliefs, expressed through assumptions, can either work for us or against us. Some people are raised with empowering words, and others are treated with shaming or disempowering attitudes. If we are not proactive, the assumptions that we make about ourselves work against us. We become our own worst enemy. This…

Choose Your own Adventure: June 2024

Listen the quality is middling and I really really wish I had more time to work out the rough bits of this but it's 3021 words which is more than I've written in a month in a long, long time. So thank you all so much!

I’ve had nightmares ever since I was a kid. 

I guess that’s not actually all that impressive, plenty of people can say they’ve had nightmares since they were a kid. No, what I mean is, I’ve had the sort of nightmares where I dream too deep, and I can’t escape, since I was a kid. 

You ever dream too deep? Where you know you’re dreaming, but you can’t get yourself out of it. The most insane things can be happening around you--once I was trapped in Picasso’s Guernica, after I saw a picture of it in my sixth grade social studies book--but it must be real, because if it weren’t real, you could wake up. 

I was doing that. I couldn’t wake up, but I was in the most fucking insane situation of my life. Not a quite a nightmare, too strange to be a nightmare. Sitting in a historical house in England, surrounded by a bunch of people that aren’t real. Completely fake. Internationally trademarked, even. 

The fact that they weren’t real, however, wasn’t keeping me from building a fire in a glorious marble fireplace  while noted fictional characters Fareeha Amari and Haruka Tenoh moved furniture around, trying to get a space for everyone to draw their boundaries for the night. 

It was tense. Tension’s a lot more fun when you’re writing it instead of living it. 

Lena dropped an armful of wood beside me and crouched down, looking at the arrangement of logs. It’d be fair enough to question what I was doing. I’m good at building a fire, great even, but that supposes a number of things are true. I don’t know if they’re true here. Does wood even cure in the UK? It must, wood cures everywhere, but it’s just so goddamn damp here. 

“Set of matches upstairs.” She picked at the edge of one of the logs. “If you need.” 

I didn’t want her to go upstairs. I don’t know why, but it prickled across my skin. I don’t like it. There’s something odd about this place, beautiful as it is. Don’t get me wrong, I still wanted to wander around every inch of the house. The carved woods, the hand-knotted carpets, no one to tell me I couldn’t touch it, running my fingers across the flocked wallpaper. But I didn’t want her to. 

“Well, I’m just gonna look around here,” I stood up, stepping toward the mantle,  “has to be a match somewhere, it’s a fireplace for fuck’s sake. Can’t light it with hope. No need for you to run around all hell in the dark.” 

She chuckled appreciatively and got to her feet. 

“Oh, I’m alright.” She scratched the back of her head, “I’m the only one knows where it is. Improve everyone’s mood a bit, warm fire.” 

I’ve had these dreams all my life. The fastest way to get out of them, is to follow the rules of them. My brain wants these worlds to be real, and so they have to be real. If I call it a dream, if I try to break out, it closes in tighter. Dream people don’t like to know they’re fake dream houses like to stay firm on the ground. These dreams are waves to be ridden. That this one feels more real than anything I’ve ever had is all the more reason to be careful. All I needed to do was get through it. As soon as the tow truck pulls up, I would just fade into the dawn. I’ve done my part. 

But the reality of it. Even looking at Lena, I couldn’t imagine the perfection of her. Everything’s the way I know it, but have never seen. Her eyes are bright and brown and filled with stars. Her smile is crooked and constant, completely unself-consious. Her messy hair with its chestnut glimpses in the light. All perfect. But things I hadn’t imagined, either. Things that were completely correct, but I could never have written down. The barely-visible scar on her arm, from breaking it as a child. The rips in her sweater, lovingly darned. 

Was it like this for God, that his creations were made more real in their own time? 

Wow, comparing myself to God, that’s a fascinating level of arrogance on display as I’m freezing to death. 

“Haruka!” I call out behind me, “Can I use your lighter?” 

Lena looks at me. I shrug. 

“She smoked when we were in the van.” 

“Oh yeah!” She laughs and adds a small piece of tinder to the fire, “I forgot. She’s been round the backside of every pub we’ve stopped at.” 

Haruka tossed it, not leaving Mina’s side, not wanting to join the conversation. It doesn’t matter. She’s still young, and annoying, and I don’t expect it. If I could have picked, I’d meet forty year old Haruka. But the lighter is more important now, one step closer to waking up to my three year old running into the room. I’ve done this plenty of times. 

First fire. Then phone.

_________

Lena watched the fire catch, and then rose to her feet, offering Doc’s shoulder a pat. Everyone would be a better mood when they were a little warmer, and maybe Lena herself could cast off the strange feeling that had come over her since she went into the house. The house wasn’t talking to her, the house didn’t know her, the house wasn’t creeping around her like the ivy on the side of the house. 

Course not. 

That didn’t mean, though, that things weren’t odd. 

Fareeha was moving together couches and piling in bedding from another room. It was a good idea, they’d probably all have to spend the night here, and Lena ignored the twinge that she shouldn’t be using the fine coverlets, the down pillows. It was just like a thought said in another room, anyway. 

She should go apologize. She thought it would be funny to scare Fareeha--and it was--but Lena did whatever came to her mind first, and never thought a day, a month, a year past it. She should have known it would bother her, having spent so much time trying to professional in front of two people who wouldn’t know professional if it slapped them across the ass. Who, honestly, didn’t care about how well Fareeha ran the organization. 

But Fareeha did care, and Lena had upset her, and she cared about Fareeha even if she was an annoying stick in the mud who never met a rule she didn’t like. When you care about people, sometimes you have to pretend you care about other things as well. 

So she went to Fareeha’s side, and touched at the pillow on the couch in front of her, fluffing it slightly. 

“Listen, earlier, that’s the sort of thing you more or less expect from me andI I thought it’d be a bit of fun, and---alright, what I --I didn’t mean to embarrass you. In front of the posh poodles. Or what ‘ave you.” 

Fareeha barely looked up at her. “Who said that you embarassed me?” 

Lena gave a short sigh. Well, she’d done her part. Fareeha’s pride was what it was, and there wasn’t much to be done about it. 

“Right.” She looked at the shadows the fire threw upon the wall, squinting as if she could almost read them. “Strange place.” 

She said it quietly, almost to herself, but flicked her eyes back to Fareeha’s, knowing she would hear and hoping she would confirm it. Not quite a whisper, but most certainly a private conference. Fareeha said nothing, her eyes simply meeting Lena’s in silent assessment, but nothing was not a denial. Right, of course. Fareeha, for whatever her faults might be: Her stubborness and pride, for example, qualities that Lena herself most certainly did not embody, or, if she did, embodied them in a much less annoying way--for all that, she trusted Lena. She didn’t think Lena was crazy. 

She took the silence, as she took most silences, as leave to continue. 

“Don’t you wonder about this rain?”

“In England? No. I absolutely do not.” 

“It doesn’t rain like this.” Lena shook her head, trying to ignore the shadow play on the wall.  “It drizzles, London fog, grey, all that. Does this seem a drizzle to you? For hours now. Doesn’t strike you as odd. Just a bit? Something is not right.” 

Fareeha smiled. “We are,” she waved a hand and clapped it heavily on Lena’s shoulder, squeezing. “on a windswept moor, or something. You don’t hear ghosts, just Heathcliff howling.” 

Lena took a few steps back and shook Fareeha’s hand off her shoulder. 

“Right, first off, we ain’t in Yorkshire, this is Surrey. Buy a map. Second off, you’re really proud of finishing that book. Third off,” It reached a stage whisper, a wide gesture, “don’t bloody patronize me! Fareeha!”

“Fourth off, there’s a ghost in Wuthering Heights.” 

Lena and Fareeha both looked over to where Doc had appeared beside them. Lena didn’t much care for anyone to have quiet feet but her. 

“You think this house is haunted?”

“Not necessarily, I’m just givin’ a book report. I guess. Anyway,” Doc broke from Fareeha’s gaze, “Everyone’s mood would prolly greatly improve with some food.”

Food? 

When did she eat last? She ran back in her mind, trying to figure out what it had been. They’d been at the Spoons, for some ungodly reason ordering chicken katsu, and what had she had? A little pizza. A pint. Alright, two pints. She should be fine. She spent a lot of time talking, didn’t she? At least, Fareeha had said so, but you know--

She saw the pizza box in the back of the van, more than half full. 

“Right! I’m ‘ungry, is all.” 

Plenty of people who were supposedly experts in a thing that had never happened had said plenty of things about her, after the slipstream, and most of them had been only too happy to suggest Lena be tossed in the bin like a broken toy. She’d never be right, you know. MIght never talk again, then did, might never take care of herself, did that too, might never be able to work again, check, and she would have had her pilot’s license back immediately if everyone at the CAA wasn’t so bloody straightlaced. She had done it all, everything they said she wouldn’t. 

Might even be a danger to herself or others, for all she’s talking about seeing the pasts overlapping, about screaming into a London that was covered in soot that was under siege by the Vikings that was bombed to the ground that was her living room.He’d never let that go. She’d been a bit forgetful and chatty, with a tireless body, since she was small, but now everything she said and did was some proof of his theory. Everything was proof of an ‘unquiet mind’, never mind that they’d been happy enough to recruit her busy, loud mind before. She’d hated that insufferable prick the most, and that was quite the accomplishment. 

No one thought she was crazy, why was she thinking about this? Why was she thinking about the house? She was hungry. When she was hungry, it was easy for her to jump tracks. Happened all the time. 

Fareeha was looking at her carefully. 

“I have meal replacement bars in my bag. You can have any of them.” 

If there was anything worse than Fareeha’s constant criticism, it was her occasional concern. 

“Oh, right! The blueberry kale one.” Lena gave a bright smile, “Not to betray me English right of resignation to misery, but ‘ave we tried going the kitchen?” 

“I can cook. I’ll help.” 

___

I don’t know why I volunteered. Other than I knew exactly what kind of meal replacement bars Fareeha has stashed in her backpack, and even if there were only a few scant things in the pantry, it would be beter than a bunch of bars with the name “Superfood slam” or “Supergreen.” 

Also, I genuinely did think everyone would be better off with some food. I don’t know what Mina’s up to in the corner with Haruka, but she keeps giving me this stare, like she’s trying to peer into my soul. She knows something’s up with me. 

I just have to keep going until it’s finished. Six am comes real early.

“Alright.” Lena shrugs with a smile, “I can probably manage not to kill anyone, so between the two of us it’ll be a regular feast.” 

You’re actually a pretty decent cook, I want to say, you took an A level in food studies in a desperate attempt to get what you needed to qualify as a pilot. You grew up helping cook. You may be the best cook in this room who isn’t me. But I need to remember I don’t know these people, at least to them. 

Remember the dream about the opera? Remember telling your seatmate the end of the story? Remember how the stage caved in, remember how it dragged you down, remember how you forgot to believe in the dream? Remember how dark it got? Lena is a stranger to you and you don’t know anything about her you couldn’t have read in a magazine somewhere. 

Relax and enjoy the dream. Hell, maybe it’ll give you some ideas for that crushing writer’s block you’ve had. It’s easy, everyone agreed to send you two off, there was a flashlight given over, and you more or less understand the layout of older houses--why does this place look so familiar anyway? It’s not the Moss Mansion. It’s not the Biltmore.--so you thought you could find the kitchen. Easy. 

But why are there so many things I would never imagine? Why are the cell phones different? Why--

“What about you, then?” Chipper and bright. 

“What about me?” 

We were wandering the first floor, looking for a dining room, which would suggest a kitchen. The walls were dark, carved in relief squares with pictures and saints’ portraits hung, all of them watching, some directing, some whispering, but all watching. 

“You know,” she swung the flashlight in front of her, “Married. Kids. Sunday league team. Just making conversation in the dark.” She laughed at herself. “Nothing important.” 

“Yeah, married. Daughter.” I’m never sure how much to say, how to keep from betraying myself. I suddenly remember I’m not supposed to know anything. “Oh, you?” 

“Nearly there!” A sliver of moonlight hit her face, and the beauty of the joy in her face was illuminated in silver like a holy manuscript. 

“Going to ask ‘er next month, when we go on ‘oliday. Oh, but she’s beautiful. And so kind. Patient, which to ‘ear me family say is the only reason she can tolerate me. I don’t know ‘ow I ended up so lucky--you imagine, girl like ‘er, in me family’s pub with the sticky carpet and--but that doesn’t matter, i did manage to charm her, and now I’ve got the ring.” 

There was a strange twist in my stomach, then. Something deep and sick inside me, like I ws aboard a tossing ship. 

“Never really saw meself settling down, not that I didn’t want to, but it’s a dangerous life, mine, and--”

Ah. Guilt. That’s what it is. 

“Here it is.” I half-ran through the dining room. I couldn’t listen to her be in love anymore. “Kitchen.” 

___

Doc was flipping through the pantry, muttering to herself as she took the tops off a few spice jars, sticking her nose over the top. 

“Boy, no one here’s been particularly burdened by seasoning.” She set the jar of smoked paprika back down with a clink. 

“Yeah?” 

“Everything’s old.” She reached into the pantry again. “Least in here.” 

Doc moved away from where the unhappy jars sat, and went to another cabinet. People teased Lena, said that she never paid attention to anything, but the problem, Lena had often observed, was that she paid too much attention to everything, and it was hard to keep it all catalouged. Looking at Doc, watching her mutter to herself, the way her fingers drifted over surfaces, the way she bounced when she walked and how her eyes wandered. Lena couldn’t be sure, you could never really be sure of anything like that, but there was something kindred between them. 

���You’re a bit like me, I think.” Lena jumped up onto the countertop and opened a tall cabinet, revealing nothing but some old glassware. 

“No,” Doc shut the cabinet with an annoyed thump, “You’re a little like me.” 

Didn’t ask how she meant. Didn’t even think about what Lena might have been saying about it. Didn’t disagree. Doc stopped in the middle of the room and nodded. 

“I’m older than you, I mean. I came first.”  Doc shrugged. “So it’s you who’s like me. A little bit.”

She stood in front of the few cans they’d managed to gather and threw a pot on the stove, turning on the gas and striking a match all in a swift and praticed motion. The burner lit without dramatics. 

“Anyway, who the fuck wants to talk about it? Congratulations, we’re both twitchy and weird. Want to place bets on who can sit still the longest? Short game. Hand me that knife, will you?“ 

Lena sat down on the butcher block counter, her arms around her knees and watched Doc as she popped open cans and began to toss them in the pot. Not everyone wanted to talk about what made them tick, and it wasn’t even as if Lena had necessarily wanted a deep conversation about it. It was only an observation, an extension of friendship. Maybe she’d embarrassed her by noticing. Lena’d felt that way herself a time or two. It doesn’t always feel complimentary to have someone tell you they know you’re odd. Not every family was like Lena’s about it. She grabbed the knife and extended it toward Doc. 

Kill her.

Lena jumped back with the ferocity of it, the knife clattering to the counter. Doc turned to her, eyes narrowed. 

“What is it?” 

Kill her before she kills you. 

For next month

MORE INFO BELOW!! BIG Paragraph incoming/ Zoom in if you need to pls !!

HEEEY so here is my chart for MMV2 💙

Mayor ships / Polys

• Horror M / Horror P/Mr. Sys

• Horror M / MR. Mario (Horrorpasta)

• Grandad/ Somari (Grandmari)

• Beta Mario / The Forgiven (Forgive and Forget; created by my best friend and me)

• MX / King / Coronation day peach (Powerforest)

• Platonic Mario cule/ (Therapy group/J) : Grandmari + Forgive and Forget + IHY Mario

• Mr. V / Costume (platonic/kinda romantic but not really. Mr.V just has a huge liking to Costume bc they are legit almost the same. Just that Mr. V killed for fun as Costume killed for some sort of "injustice" (bro calm down its just a CONSOLE)

Some Important notes / Lore I have never explained

• Pikafriend and Eevefriend are NOT BF and GF. Bf and Gf are legit dead and souls trapped 4ever

• Pikafriend is more of a Homunculus from BFs rotted blood, Found by Somari. Pikafriend doesnt share any of BFs memories, however, he can feel fear/some sort of paranoia around some people

• Pikafriend and Eevefriend arent together bc theyre Children, In this case, Pikafriend and Eevefriend start like small children

As Pikafriend found two bootlegs who adopted him, Eevefriend found Weega, so the two lurk around because like Weega, they dont wanna be involved in anything LOL

(Also why they are friends, I imply Weega lurks around M's cartridge)

• Super bad day mario is also mostly like implied to be adopted by Grandad and Somari

• Like many! I like to hc Super bad day Mario being "friends" with Devil Mario, The truth is Devil Mario doesnt like him at ALLL but Super Bad mario throws poisinous murshroom at him (which is bad for Marios body as a whole eek) so He just lets him hang,,

• Most Big bad dudes like Mr. V, MX, etc, Find Grandad annoying, Mostly because I base it on MX vs Lord X videos teehee

• Something I wanna bring up about Horror Mario IN THIS AU (aka Marcos version, MM) and wanna remind he isnt really the original Horror mario, 💧 ppl keep forgetting he used to be an offical marketman for Nintendo that made a deal with the Dearest and got trapped 💔💔 now Imagine 30 years isolated from the world, literly alone. His kinda influence in the world is quite strong / Some of the dearest magic, gave him access to control the cartridge to his liking, taking on the form of Mario, because He literly forgets how he looks like. Imagine 30 years of not seeing your face 😭 Yeah thats why dude is a lil insane and actually depress (isolation as a whole completly destroys a person, specially for 30 years bc characters like Horror Peach are. Like. HIM! LIKE, A REFLECTION, like an actual flesh puppet who acts around,, so thats why theyre lowkey together too because Horror peach knows the pain, because she was kinda??? Splitted from himn like Mitosis LOL) I need to write my story straight...

• ALSO REASON WHY HORROR LIKES MR. SYS, because its an actual creation that he gets to witness, alive and consious, which is like, dayum

• Horrorpasta is more of a personal/in sys thimg so... Maybe ill explain it when i feel confident to share more outside of friends

• POWERFOREST ONE AND ONLY, Both of them are actual strong and rulers of their own words, they both relate to much and kinda grew to a point where they make out /P

• Beta Mario and The forgiven mostly meet in the mansion, where Beta has been. The forgiven and Beta mario mostly bond over their experiences. However, Beta Mario wanting to try to go out, The forgiven is scared of encountering Mr. L, still both go out in caution

• They find IHY Mario wandering about, mostly the three try to find a safe place since actually none of them know they are trapped in a cartridge that has so many worlds fused together (Until they meet Grandad and Somari) and again the three mostly bond over, specially how IHY mario and the forgiven take turns to take care of Beta Marios' painting

THERE IS A LOT LOT MORE... More lore and story, however, im tired and will be a story for another day 🙏 thanks for reading

Consious Quantum Creations

[starnightlover]

hi!! i am currently struggling with overconsumption and am now confused on what the law is truly about. like there are all these new different terms and phrases such as non-dualism, consciousness, awareness, becoming self, blah, blah, blah... and it's messing with my mind. it's like a complex web of jumbled up words stuck in my head. could you explain what the law is in a few simple words that could help me understand?

Hi love! So here's a guide by my lovely friend Persie on nonduality that will help with some of your concerns!

Here's also another post I recommend reading by the amazing Mystic

Now that we got that out of the way the law of assumption or law of consciousness as Abdullah originally called it is the one aspect that governs all of "existence" this states your assumption create your reality. Your awareness of something manifests itself through you because you are awareness experiencing itself. You are god/consiouness/awareness/imagination experiencing it's own self through creation of itself!

Here is my guide on how to manifest

I hope this helps you, my love! Now only read these and come back if you have any questions! If these make sense then delete Tumblr or put a time limit on what you can read so you don't overconsume again and just apply what you know 🖤

[peanutrat20]

I. HAVE. BOTS!!!!!!

and before you ask they are kinda ninja turtle themed but they are not at the same time

make sense?

no

well let me show the sillies

1 (they/them)

oldest by a few days

standard model andriod customized to be a fighter though their creator never intended for them to actually fight

stolen from their creator not long after 2 was created

thief treated them like their child and kept them updated

around 16 years after their creation thief took off without them and 2 and never returned the two lived alone for a few years before meeting 4

has big brother energy

2 (they/them)

created only a few days after 1

standard model customized to be a fighter and also shorter and bulkier than other standard model androids

stolen with 1

raised with 1 and kept updated

abandonded with 1

is definition of little shit and likes to get on 4's nerves

3 (they/it)

roughly 10 years younger than 1 and 2

custom model that was their creators own design and was sold to a mob boss. 4 was supposed to go with them but 4 had some.. issues

no it's legs aren't backwards

regularly was sent for updates with their creator met 4 there and the two got on like wildfire

years later after their creator disappears and their program starts to break and they start getting glitchy it is abandoned where 4 finds them again

silly little guy still super glitchy. has horror stories about them that are told to children as cautionary tales from it's time owned by the mob boss

4 (they/them)

created at the same time as 3

custom model of their creators own design. feels superior to 1 and 2 because of this. secretly super self consious of the fact their face display is wonky and it can't be fixed

lives with their creator until getting spooked by the sight of 3 getting an update and running away. lives on their own for about a year before 1 and 2 find them

is unable to be updated but functions fine despite that

learns how to fix and update other androids in hopes of figuring out how to fix their face

you can still see hints of their expressions through the static of their face display

is certified asshole if you piss them off

[alextwdgf01]

Hidyho, how are you? ^^ Are you going to show us more Mpreg Ford? Please? I have read your fictions, see your art and I love it! I want to see more pregnant Fordsy with his Stan being a proud soon-to-be uncle ^^ Oh! And.... what about Mabel and Dipper? Are they going to come in Gravity Falls for summer too? (big package of questions sorry ^^')

I'm doing fine, thanks 😊. I'm glad you enjoy the Mpreg Ford au, it's by far my favorite personal au creation. And a great excuse to draw the Stan bros getting along. Unfortunately, I haven't been drawing anything new lately of Mpreg Ford. But I do have quite a few sketches I never posted. So here's one:

Ford is around 6 to 7 months pregnant in this one and they are getting ready for a little baby shower! You see, the reason Stan is so elated here is because he made that baby belly corsage for Ford to wear during the baby shower. But he was a bit self-consious of his handy work and also afraid Ford might hate it. (There is a lot of backstory I'll cover in the fics before the baby shower that'll best explain everything) So when his brother actually liked it and put it on, he was happy.

Mabel and Dipper wouldn't come up until around the same time as canon. But yes, they would still be present in this au.

RAS Interviews Thoughts

So I’ve just read some of RAS’ interviews and I have thoughts, I am actually kinda excited about the interviews because RAS has confirmed alot of the things I was thinking myself. For example I said in regards to how Jughead and Veronica reacted to the Barchie kiss that I thought they were acting like they were fine right now but that I reckoned it was because they didn’t want to ruin their last weeks together and that I thought the anger would come through during the timejump and that’s when they will really start to process the pain of that betrayal and maybe that contributed to them not showing up a year later. Well in RAS’ interview with Entertainment Weekly he says this:

When it comes to them all not talking for seven years, is there a specific reason why that happened that we're going to get into this season?

I think so. With Betty and Jughead, there was a break that we will see. In my mind, part of the reason they split up is because of the Betty-Archie kiss. I think when the kiss happened, no one wanted it to ruin their last couple of weeks in high school so they hung on to get through that, but there's still fallout from that and I think that's kind of the reason. And though we will see particular details why, I think it's fallout from that kiss. It cut really deep.

I am actually glad that there will be some residual feelings left over from this betrayal because to me if there wasn’t any at all that wouldn’t be realistic at all. I mean when I’ve met/bumped into exes in the past there was still that awkward feeling and that lingering of pain, it can be really difficult to see them again especially if you haven’t really talked about it like Betty and Jughead haven’t. I would like to see some healing at some point and for them all to move on but I would like to see that process of the core four coming back together and learning to trust each other again.

RAS expanded a bit on this is his interview with The Dipp saying:

So from this we can see that Jughead in particular is struggling with a feeling of betrayal which might explain the other reports of him struggling to make a committed relationship work, he could be afraid to give his heart to someone else after being betrayed. I am curious to know if Veronica has these same feelings it would seem like shes had better luck moving on considering shes married.

Another thing I am happy about is going back to the Entertainment Weekly interview RAS did address the whole characters not interacting outside of the couples and said that one of the things the time jump has allowed them to do is have different dynamics. 

‘And it allows us to play new dynamics. Now it's not just Betty in scenes with Jughead, now it's not just Cheryl and Toni in scenes together.’

You all know how much I was hoping for this so naturally I am over the moon to hear that it does seem that the writers are making a consious effort to have those different dynamics.    

Something else I said I was interested in seeing was how the trauma of Riverdale might make the characters struggle to adjust to live outside of Riverdale. Again it seems like this is something that is going to be touched upon. Again in the entertainment weekly article it says:

You mention catching up with those stories, so will we be getting snippets of what went on during those seven years as the season progresses?

One hundred percent. We are going to be unpacking the seven years throughout the season and in a way, I think a theme of the season is trauma and how our different characters deal with trauma and how that kept them from fully thriving in their new lives. But we will be filling in the blanks, absolutely.

Again to me this seems realistic, of course they are going to struggle to move on from Riverdale with everything that happened to them there. I am also glad that we will be getting some backstory on what happened to the characters during the timejump. 

Next I think we need to talk about the Queen. The Serpent Queen Toni that is and the clip that was released showing her performing. I loved it and I am really glad that they are giving more time to Toni she deserves it and she’s such an interesting character. Also again really looking forward to seeing her and Archie develop a great friendship. I loved the little smile she gave me at the end of that clip because to me I interpreted it as she’s been seeing what Hiram has been doing to the town and I think it hurts her to see that happening and she’s been struggling to make things better by herself and this is her knowing the moment she sees him that she’s going to have an ally now. I do feel like with her having a child coming she’s going to be even more invested in making sure that the world her child is coming into is a safe and happy place. 

Ok so the part that I am most excited about as a Barchie shipper was this part from The Dipp interview. 

I am so happy that RAS confirmed that there were feelings between Barchie and it seems like he is saying that Archie was in love with Betty in the pilot which is something we have all been speculating on for years. We were all saying it but it is nice that there is acknowledgement from RAS. Naturally he is still being vague about what form their relationship will be afterall he’s got to keep some air of mystery to get people invested and curious about the show but I am excited to see them explore those feelings. I mean obviously I can’t say for certain because I have nothing to do with the creation of the show I just watch it, but I do think it is going to be a romantic relationship. I also don’t necessarily think the line about ‘discover it very quickly’ means that they will jump into a relationship very quickly but that it has been written in a way that makes it obvious they are heading towards a romantic relationship pretty soon in the season if I am making sense there. But like I said we won’t know until the episodes air. But yes I am excited to see them develop the Barchie relationship. 

Ok so before I wrap this up there is something I want to make clear first, I have seen alot of posts claiming that RAS has confirmed certain things. Now unless there is an interview I’ve missed which I don’t think there is because I am pretty sure these stem from the Dipp interview then lets be clear RAS has not confirmed a Bughead reunion or slowburn or endgame or anything of the kind. He has not confirmed a Varchie endgame. He has not confirmed a Barchie endgame. There is a funny thing about interviews and that is the parts that the person being interviewed has said are in quotation marks to show that they were the ones that said it, anything else written is the opinion of the author of the interview. So this bit here, which I am fairly sure is what people have been referring to:

This is not in quotation marks and so was not said by RAS it is the opinion of the interviewer. Now whether RAS said something to make them believe that Betty and Jughead will reunite and that it’ll be a slowburn we don’t know but as its not a direct quote from RAS and it is therefore not confirmed by RAS. Look saying you want a certain ship to be endgame that’s fine, saying you believe a certain ship will be endgame is fine, we are all passionate about our ships so of course we want them to be endgame. I mean I myself have made entire posts going on about why I think Barchie should be endgame so I understand that desire to want to find some solid proof that your ship is the ship that will make it. But making the claim that someone involved in the creation of the show has confirmed something when they haven’t that’s not ok. Especially as someone who hasn’t seen the interview might take your word for it and then potentailly be disappointed later down the line. The cold hard facts are this, we will not know who is endgame until that final episode airs. Up until then its just speculation. 

But anyway I am looking forward to this episode and seeing all our kiddies all grown up. As always I will post a review in the next couple of days after the episode airs.

yo sometimes its okay like things that other people consider “bad” its okay to like things regardless of negative feelings towards the people involved in the creation

like you can enjoy things and still be consious and aware of the flaws in it

Supernatural Au

//Just for fair warning some content here may be a bit triggering bc yknow...were talking about monster people

[[MORE]]

Ryuji- A born werewolf that doesn't have the full grasp of his strength of a full blooded wolf since his mother was recently turned when she was pregnant with him so she's still learning about their biology as well. His dad was a more 'traditional' werewolf which translates to, "I'm drunk and don't wish to be responsible for what I do when I turn". As a result he forcibly turned his wife and made her mate with him which resulted in Ryuji. His father left as Ryuji grew, knowing that he was going to grow bigger than him as well as stronger. Ryuji felt robbed of a normal human life because of his father and hates that he has to hide who he is and hates the fact he made his mother suffer. Despite being a creature that can recover quickly from injuries, his leg is still bad because Kamoshida isn't human in this au either (born incubus with a full grasp of his strength and power).

Ann- I felt like making her some cat creature would be a bit too obvious but I liked the idea of her being some sort of Cupid angel considering her lovers arcana and her liking romance as a genre. It would also add to the idea of her creepy incubus gym teacher wishing to taint her. Ann's beauty also adds to the whole 'angelic' look. She's not entirely new to earth but she wasn't born there so she finds human and their things cute and fun and especially their fashion.

Yusuke- I know this is obvious but it fits his character well, a kitsune. Has about 3 tails making him around the 300s in age; being this old explains why he's so fucking awkward and socially inept but it adds to his wisdom however. Madarame as well as his parents were also kitsune though, staying true to the trait of being conniving Madarame allowed Yusuke's mother to die and raise the kid to make money off of. Yusuke is honestly horribly behind on societal norms and trends because Madarame kept him going out to a minimal over these 300 or so years. He takes a great pride in his pristine coat and tails and will throw a dramatic fit if even in his human form his hair is ruffled. He'd...often waste his money on mirrors in this au since he would like his reflection a lot even though they could out him considering for some kitsune mirrors can reveal their true self to others...that being said he tends to avoid dogs in this verse as well.

Makoto- It took me a bit to think of this one but considering her codename, her knightly aesthetic, her strength, and how frightening her anger is, I felt a dragon fit her well. Not much backstory here more so different quirks. Hates cold weather so she bundles up tighter in the winter since lizards are cold blooded, since she's a dragon it won't kill her she just gets cold easily and hates it. Her skin appears soft but its actually tough, she could grip a knife by his blade and not cut her skin. She's...very self consious about that one. Enjoys riddles and bad puns much more even if she says 'not all dragons are riddle telling gatekeepers.' 10000% has a horde but denies it, said horde being Buchimaru-kun merch.

Futaba- I like the idea of a witch because it mixes well with her mother being a scientist. Though, she is far from traditional; uses a lot of tech for her experiments and potion making. Gaining a group of supernatural friends from the phantom thieves she often..asks for bodily things like fur, blood, scales, or teeth to see what she can make of them. Also gets excited to see how they function in real life rather than reading about their species. She once had a broom she could fly on, hated it since it was hard to steer and made a better one from a roomba she can ride now. Sojiro does not find her collection of strange odds and ends weird since her mother was the same and from working with her and wanting to impress her he became something like a knowledge keeper of the strange. Can pretty easily analyze someone and tell what they are or what they could be; one things for sure he can tell if someone isn't human.

Haru- Easily, she's a fairy; it would explain her sweet demeanor and her frightening turn as Noir when she enjoys making shadows beg for their lives. In addition, people being addicted to Big Bang Burger leading to its success would be due to it technically being fae food on account of 'secret ingredients' that being fairy dust. Often makes dark or frigtening jokes as in

"Hey Haru, can you do me a favor?"

"Hehe sure~! Though, in return, I request tour first born~"

"W..what?"

"Hehe~ I'm just kidding♡"

Akechi: He would be a bastard to creation considering his whole light/dark thing with Crow and Black Mask; that being said he would be a hybrid of a angel and demon; his mother being an angelic being and his father..well you know, being a demon of pride. It would explain his sweet demeanor and his vile intentions as well as how shittily his life turned out to be. In the supernatural world as well as the human world he would be an abomination and or something to be feared from just the concept of his existence. His strong sense of justice comes from his holier aspects while his actions to carry out such justice would be questionable to say the least from his more demonic aspects.

Any way this has been my TED talk bc I love Supernatural creature aus

Dx’s Dating Tips #4... the blurb.

I never got around to finishing these posts, but since I’ve been talking to friends trying to get into online dating, I’ve gone back to ranting about how people can do online dating better. Your blurb is your personal statement for getting an ‘interview’ with a prospective partner, so treat it exactly like one.

Start with a good opener. Mine was probably something jaunty and fun about working in healthcare, but yours doesn’t have to be. It just has to catch people’s attention; if you can think of something witty or funny, this tends to be a good place to put it. A good start profile feels like you’re reading a fun anecdote on here, or an interesting article; it feels full of promise.

Punctuate and use a spell checker. This might be a personal prejudice of mine; I don’t care how tall a guy is or how much he weighs, but I do care that he writes legibly. If I’m potentially going to be spending weeks, months or even the rest of my life messaging a guy, his words had better not drive me to distraction. You’d think this is hyperbole, but having flicked through probably thousands of profiles, a surprising number are... really painful to read.  I wouldn’t recommend formulating your profile as bullet points. It’s great for sites where there isn’t much of a blurb allowed, but if you have space to write a decent paragraph, do it. Your personality shines much more through prose than through lists.

Take people through some of your hobbies; what do you do that makes you happy, and what do you enjoy about it? This doesn’t need to be detailed, but is probably the most useful part of your profile because your hobbies and interests are something people can really engage with, and forms part of why we might see ourselves dating someone. Everyone likes going out for dinner (but also nights in with a film), so try to think of something a little different. I wanted to focus on the things I enjoyed that are more uniquely me me- photography, art, cute animals, DnD, etc. If you have unusual hobbies, that’s a bonus. Well, it is to me, because I’m a nerd and like attracts like, and this is my advice. But really, it makes you stand out from all the people who list ‘eating out’ and ‘watching TV’ as hobbies, as if we don’t all do that. If you’re not comfortable talking about all your hobbies, that’s OK, but the more of yourself you share, the more likely to attract someone similar. I definitely wanted my hobbies to be part of my profile, because I wanted people who accept my interests, or even better: share them. Nobody wants to date someone who thinks their interests are uncool or annoying or something they have to put up with. It definitely made for interesting talking points, and attracting people with lots of stuff in common.

If I mention something, I use examples; something exciting about a book I enjoyed lately, But importantly, I also talked a little about what I find exciting about each of these things. That makes the blurb more than a list of things I do (which my profile already has), and says something about me as a person. It makes things a lot more dynamic than just lists of things that someone likes.  This also stops your profile from falling into  ‘same profile’ territory. 

Most profiles read very similarly, so try to avoid stock phrases and cliches. I can’t tell you how many men love travelling, value their family and friends,  want a “partner in crime” or a “soulmate” or “the one”. More than one wants their “lobster”. How many men “like to go out but also stay in with a takeaway and a film” and “no longer go out clubbing much any more”, and how many are “shy until you get to know me, so bear with me” but appreciate “good banter”. I just got so tired reading these phrases because profiles start to look alike when you leaf through lots of them. And don’t even think about ‘borrowing’ profiles you’ve found online.

This is also why you should keep the obvious to a minimum, because writing about things that apply to everyone absolutely doesn’t narrow things down at all. The people who are reading your blurb want to know what is different about you; whether your weirdness will fit with their weirdness. If your personality, sense of humor and way of life are compatible with theirs. I never explicitly mention I love my family and friends; because that’s widely expected. That’s not even including on all the people who only list their interests as ‘sometimes eating out, watching TV, going to the cinema and listening to music’. Which are all fine, but everyone loves doing those things, so on their own they do not make up a decent profile.

Do your best not to give readers dating profile fatigue. I might be labouring the point here, but when you look over many profiles, it quickly becomes maddeningly evident just how repetitive most of them are. This was one of the most frustrating parts of online dating; you want to flick through profiles until you find someone that fits your criteria (gender, age, etc), looks OK and whose blurb sparks your interest. And obviously, dating sites are an artificial creation; we never really evolved to have the choice out of thousands of people for potental mates. It’s a dizzying level of choice that our brains can struggle to comprehend. But when you’re looking for something; a spark of personality, a sign of common interests, or perhaps an unusual hobby that catches the eye and makes someone seem intriguing, it can be pretty disheartening when it feels like you’re reading the same few profiles over and over again.

Include ideas for how people can start a conversation with you; at various points of your profile blurb. I got this tip online, and honestly it’s probably the best tip out of all the ones that I found, because it definitely yielded results. It can be really intimidating to write to people, so it helps to make your profile a bit more approachable. For example, after talking about books I liked, I asked for book recommendations, or a good song, and after talking about unusual museums, I asked for recommendations a cool cafe or museum they think I might like. It was also great because I could tell that some guys had actually read my profile and engaged with it. When someone writes a long interesting well-thought out reply, it starts really interesting conversations, and is such a nice experience. I also got messaged by people who clearly hadn’t read my profile, had no idea what I was looking for or if we were compatible, and just messaged on a whim because (presumably) they thought I was hot. Though

Spend a bit of your profile describing what you love about your job; they don’t need to know the details, but it’s really attractive to see someone passionate about what they do. What job you do in exact terms is not important. It’s nice to put just enough detail so people get the flavour of what you do, because it makes conversation easier. But technical or jargon-filled descriptions are not interesting in a profile; otehr people aren’t going to understand the intricacies of your job, and explaining the highs and lwos tends to be much more entertaining when you do it in real life. 

Dating advice websites suggest that you should write about what you want in a person, but really, I don’t believe in writing a long list of attributes you want. The longer the list, the more demanding you’ll seem, and the more offputting it will be. People want to be able to imagine themselves with people whose profiles they are admiring, but it’s pretty hard to do that if they have to sit there and ponder if they meet your long list of criteria. People feel self-consious enough when online dating, they don’t want to feel like you are judging them before they’ve even messaged you. I wrote only a very simple one-sentence summary of what I wanted, and most of it was ‘tell me a bit about yourself so we can see if we’d have fun together’. I didn’t think writing a list of things I wanted would help at all; the kinds of men I don’t want wouldn’t read it, anyway.

On a related note, please don’t just list a bunch of things you don’t want in a person, it never reflects well on you, even if what you’re asking for is perfectly reasonable. Sometimes people list an entire bunch of negative attributes they don’t want a date to have, but I personally think that is an incrediblly negative way to go about selling yourself. When we read dating profiles, we want to focus on the fun and the excitement of meeting a potentially new person. I also wouldn’t list things that most people expect as standard. Sure, you don’t want bots, cheaters, people who steal or gold-diggers, but that holds true for most people. By mentioning things like that in your profile, you risk making it look like that’s all you attract, to the point that you have to make announcements about it on your profile. If people are dishonest, and want to scam you or cheat, they aren’t going to stop just because your profile says you don’t like that sort of thing, so it’s basically pointless. The only thing it’ll probably do is put off people who are nice but might wonder what kind of person has to waste half their profile telling all sorts of undesirables to stay away. It’s definitely the wrong focus to put on your profile. People aren’t on your profile to read about themselves, but to read about you and decide if they want to date you; it’s an advert for you. You get to decide if you like them when you read their profile.

Don’t dwell on things that might be seen as negatives or very private; be honest about divorces, kids, geographical distance, having a busy job because these are a big part of yor life, and potential dealbreakers for others. But be careful that they don’t dominate your blurb. If you dwell on heavy topics, it will be harder for people to see you as fun and positive. I say this as someone with their own struggles, and a busy job, who had to make these things clear early on when meeting people. On a dating site, people will first view you exactly as you present yourself; so use it wisely. I’ve read profiles that start with “I just got divorced, lost my job, I have three kids, lost my car, and I have mental health problems”. It’s important to be honest about all these things early on, but don’t lead with them, because that can give a pretty unbalanced view of who you are. Your job on a dating site isn’t to self-stigmatise by focusing on the things you are most insecure about, it’s to present your best side, but be honest about other aspects. Some information is useful early on, because it can be a dealbreaker for people early on (previous marriages, kids, etc), but it is important that your profile isn’t overcome with it. These things are just aspects of who you are.

Whilst we’re at it, don’t disparage online dating in your online dating profile. It isn’t clever, and it isn’t funny. No, I don’t “want to pretend we met at a library”; I’m happy to tell people I met the person I’m seeing online, because I’m a big girl who can go out there to look for something if I want it, and I’m not ashamed to admit that’s what I did. What’s shameful about that? I looked at probably thousands of profiles, engaged with some decent people and met someone I liked and had a lot in common with. How is that worse than hooking up whilst drunk at a bar? Or dating someone because they are one of the few single people you’ve met lately?  Why would I want to date someone who paints looking for someone as inherently shameful, or clearly finds the entire process distasteful? Or even worse, the people who just complain in their profile about online dating in general like “I hate dating sites”, “This never works for me” “Let’s see if this site is any different, I never have success on these things!”. People don’t join a dating site to talk to people who are convinced it won’t work and who spend more time complaining about online dating than trying to meet people. I get it, it can be a stressful experience; we all need to rant sometimes. But save the ranting for your friends and your tumblr, not for your dating CV!

I usually recommend honesty. But you absolutely don’t need to write about why you’ve started dating now in detail.  “I used to  be a party animal, but now my friends are all married/friends and family keep telling me to get married/I’m getting old/I can’t get laid any more so I decided the time is right to find someone” is not flattering for you to write about yourself. People want to believe you’re looking to find something special because you feel the time is right and because you desire intimacy, rather than that you’re settling for them out of convenience or because you’re being nagged into it. People want someone who is dating them to be enthusiastic about the idea. You shouldn’t sound like you’e dating out of a a grudging fear of being alone, your friends have all paired off so you have nothing else to do with your time, or because it’s harder to find casual sex now that you’re older. And yet, I’ve read quite a few profiles that unwittingly paint these kinds of images of their owner. It’s honest, but it might be a bit too raw for something that’s meant to be an advert for yourself.

I don’t believe in writing lots of sappy filler about how you want ‘true love’ or ‘a partner to spend forever with’ etc. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with wanting a life partner, or yearning for a deep, meaningful and fulfilling relationship. It’s that a good blurb keeps redundant waffle to a minimum. Your profile should absolutely list if you’re interested in a relationship, believe in marriage etc. So there’s no need to write entire paragraphs about how much you want true love. It risks giving the impression of being lonely and needy, but it also looks like you’re more worried about finding someone, anyone, than finding someone compatible.

Ok. What You Are Looking At Is The OBI-CHI (Human Spiritual Realm) Of The IGBO KWUBAALA That I Created, Based On ATUCHE That Came To Me From BEH CHUKWU NA BEH NNECHUKWU - The Realm Of The Divine Father And The Divine Mother. This Is More Of Lunar, The Other One I Unveiled Was More Of The Planetary Body And How They Are Related In Our Solar System. NDI USHI Want You To Discover The Mysteries. They Want Us To Elevate African Intelligence. They Don't Want Us To Be Sharing Slave Pictures Taken By OYIBO, Or Watching Slave Movies And Shouting "CHI M EGBUEMOO". We Are No Longer In UGA AZI( Age Of Ignorance). Your CHI Cannot Kill You. CHI Is Deathless. NDI USHI Want Us To Discover The Fact That Everything OYIBO Used To Better Themselves Was Created By NDI USHI. NDI USHI Want Us To Create A Rebirth (OFUFO CHI), An Afrofuturism In UGA ANWU (Age Of Enlightenment). And That's What I'm Doing. This Is How I Express My CHI, By Helping Others Discover The Mysteries Of NDI USHI (Our Ancestors).

NNEONO / NNAONU NA MBU Is The Mother / Father. The Mother Who Was At The Very Beginning Of All Things, All Creation. The Ancient Kush/Khemet Mysteries Begun With NENU / NUN That Is NNEONU / NNEONO. The Watery Abyss Of NENU. The Sun/Sirius RA/PTAH/ATUM Rose From Her Womb. That Is The Beginning Of Enlightenment, OFUFO CHI. When You Are At NNEONO, You Need To Be Birthed, MAKANA IBU NWATA NONA AFO NNE OKWA. EZE EBU N'AFO. NNEONO Is The Gate That Opens For OFUFO CHI To Take Place. And We Are All CHI, And We Gain Enlightenment By Walking Through The Gate Of NNEONO. That Is Both The Sacred Vagina And The Phallus. ALA And NNEONO Are Twin Sisters, But ALA Represents Foundation. The Foundation Of All Of Creation. ALA Is Our Stomach (AFO). As NNEONO Opens The Gates Of Heaven, ALA Is The One That Created Us As NNECHUKWU OKIKE (The Mother Creator) Of All Lives. Every CHI That Was Birthed By ALA Has AGWU. (See The Explaination Of AGWU On My Wall). AGWU Is The Science Of Enlightenment. The Initiator Of The Mysteries Of NDI USHI. When You're At AGWU, You Are Onye ODINANI. And The Consort Of AGWU Is UTO, And She Is The Balance Of The Energy You Received From Agwu. NNE-UTO, The Mother Of Growth / Sweet Mother, She Leads Us To OMA, Which Is Our Soul. OBI OMA. From The Infinite Consciousness Of Our Soul, We Gain Morality, And OMA Leads Us To The Judgement Of Our Current State Of Being, And Introduce Us To IKENGA Where We Gain The Will Power Of Success. It Is IKENGA That Enlightens Us Of The Fact That We Really Have A Lot Of Power, And We Can Archive Incredible Things By Being Pesistant, And We Can Do This, Without Hurting Anyone, And This Is Where The Principle Of UDO Comes In. There Are 3 Major Stages Of IKENGA, IKENGA NWAONYE, IKENGA ODUMIJE, And IKENGA OGARANYE. It Is The Success That We Gain That Unveils The Peacefulness In Us, Which Is UDO. We Balance Our Hardwork With UDO, Which Is A State Of Beingness, A State Of Love, Kindness, And Compassion. ARUO N'ANWU (IKENGA) ERIE NA NDO (EZE UDO). So We Balance Our Hardwork With A State Of Beingness, Which Is UDO. Now, IGBUDU Represents The Deepest Thoughts. IGBUDU CHI Is Not Connected To IKENGA Nor UDO, But Some How Connected To CHINEKE. Thus IGBUDU / IGBO-IDU - The Realm Of The Mystical Dark One Is A Representation Of The Consiouness Of The Left Behinds. The Left Overs. Sometimes, When We Are At IGBUDU, The Dark Energy, We Feel Like We Are Separate From The Works Of CHINEKE, But We Don't Really Know That We Are Very Close To The Magnum Opus. Don't Tell Anyone That I Told You This, But IGBUDU Is Where CHINEKE Stores All His Or Her Secrets. IGBUDU Draws Everything Down Into The Abyss, As It Is Also A Path To Degeneracy, But Also Plays A Major Role In Our Lives As A Gate Way To The Deepest Thoughts. The Deepest Mysteries. NDI USHI Were Masters Of IGBUDU, Meaning That They Were Masters Of Dark Matter And Dark Energy. So From UDO, We Transcend Up To NNEATU, The Mother Of Cosmic Thoughts. NNE-ATU-ORA. Oh, From Her, We Are So Close To Our Godliness. And We Balance Her With ELE, And That Is The Consciousness Of The Truth Of The Matter Is That Everything Is ELE, Infinite. NNEATU Represents Our Wisdom, And ELE Represents Our Innerstanding, Understanding And Overstanding. And Through The Gates Of ELE (BA-BE-ELE / BABEL), We Become CHINEKE. The Architect, The Creator, The Magician.

Is It Not Beautiful?

This Is HOW CHINEKE Works. This Is How We Should Work.

I feel like it needs to be stated again that having the very first Captain America comic feature CAP PUNCHING HITLER is not subtle. They weren’t even trying to be subtle about what they thought of Nazis and facisim.

Like they even feature this cover in The First Avenger, and Steve even outright says IN THE FILM that he doesn’t like bullies.

This character has never been subtle about this shit, Steve Rogers would absolutely one hundred percent punch every white supremacist he could find. He would fight them personally. He was created 80 years ago by two Jewish dudes who where repulsed by the Nazis. They did not even feel like being goddamn subtle about this shit, Joe Simon even said that Captain America aka Steve Rogers was a CONSIOUS POLITICAL CREATION. He and Jack Kirby were so morally repulsed by Nazi Germany and what they were doing that they created a character who would fight Nazis and looked like the “Aryan Ideal” and wholeheartedly disagreed with that bullshit.

Instant Drawings

As I was saying in my previous post on Tuesday I took the technique that I have used to make that drawing to make few more. I wanted though to mix the immediacy of the “Tipp-x” with the modular drawing, which actually shares a similar instantaneous way of creation.

For these drawing I have really been trying to do something that lately I had not been able to do, just let my self go, somehow turnoff my brain, or however I tried not to be to consious and critical of what I was drawing, but instead just doing it.

I first did some shapes either with the correction pen or the brush, let it dry, and then outline, or carve out the images and shapes I could see with a black pen. Another aspect that I have been considering is what I’m thinking of as a “ minimalistic chiaro-scuro” in the sense that I use the white(tipp-x) for the light side and the black (pen) for the darker side. In this way I can create an illusion of depth that however is very mild, but I’d say it works!

As I had done all of the drawings I decided to put them on the wall, allthogheter, creating a bigger drawing, made of seamingly unrelated images, however both the same coloured background, palette, and technique connect them togheter.
