Sanderstober 2023

Upon request, I’ve provided new art prompts for this year’s month of October!! As always, feel free to do all or some of these, pick and choose whichever stands out to you! If you missed a day’s prompt but still wanted to do art for it, absolutely do that and post it whenever you want, no worries whatsoever. It’s all completely laid back and just for fun! I’ve added to this list without consulting old ones, so if I used a repeat idea, it’s possible that I just was interested in seeing more of it again this year!! Hope you all enjoy! If you’re wanting me to check them out at all, you can use the tag, #Sanderstober2023 🎃

Oct. 1st: Give me a spooky or Halloween-y figure and how he looks on Sep. 30th (their off-time, go as comical as you’d like) and then how they look Oct. 1st (traditionally how they are known to look!).

Oct. 2nd: Give me a flower design inspired by a type of candy of your choice!

Oct. 3rd: In celebration of the awesomeness that is Fionna and Cake, I’d love to see you take a character, or characters from your fave series, and give them a multiverse makeover (what they’d look like in a different universe, under different circumstances)

Oct. 4th: Take any historic landmark, and give it an autumn or Halloween-y makeover

Oct. 5th: Since I’ve been on my D&D kick with Roleslaying with Roman, what would any Halloween- or spooky-themed character be in a D&D world? What would be their race? Their class? Their backstory??

Oct. 6th: Google a Random Color Generator and use it to give you three colors. Then use those three colors to create a new Halloween creature or character.

Oct. 7th: Along the lines of Spiderman Noir, take any character you want from some sort of fiction, and depict how they might look like in any other time period!

Oct. 8th: In the spirit of having fun with both Halloween AND Christmas, take a Halloween story/character and draw what they might appear as if they were actually a character talked or sung about in a Christmas story.

Oct. 9th: Take a group of characters from one of your favorite pieces of content and create tarot cards featuring them. Google tarot cards to get inspiration if you need!

Oct. 10th: Take a musical (one that I would suppose wouldn’t already be scary) and create a poster for it as if it were the title of a scary movie

Oct. 11th: Google a Disney character generator, pick out two characters, and create what a mash-up of those two characters would look like!

Oct.12th: Pumpkin spice latte obviously has its spotlight during the fall, but could you come up with another special coffee concoction for another season/holiday of the year?

Oct. 13th: Take a Fall/Halloween concept or character and use it as inspiration for a fashionable outfit

Oct. 14th: As a tribute to Barbenheimer this year, take any character from Barbie or Oppenheimer and depict how they’d appear in the other movie

Oct. 15th: Take the last text you received. Use all or part of it to base a whole movie off of it of any genre, and create a poster for it

Oct. 16th: Take one of the names of your current pet, old pet, or friend’s pet, and use that name as the inspiration for a superhero. What would that superhero look like?

Oct. 17th: Is there a phrase that one of your parents or friend says all the time? Take it and imagine it’s the name of a children’s book. What would that children’s book cover look like?

Oct. 18th: Take a Disney villain, and depict them as a Disney princess

Oct. 19th: Take a Disney Princess and depict them as a Disney villain!

Oct. 20th: Take any Greek god and imagine what their preferred activity might be on an average Fall day.

Oct. 21st: Take a board game (one that I would suppose wouldn’t be scary) and create a poster for it as if it were the title of a scary movie

Oct. 22nd: This is an annual favorite of mine - take take any character(s) from a piece of content of your choice and depict them like a Tim Burton character

Oct. 23rd: Take a famous brand logo (Toyota, Playstation, Campbell’s Soup, Facebook, literally any logo from anything) and design a Pokemon inspired by the logo and color palette! Bonus for naming it and giving it stats!

Oct. 24th: In the spirit AGAIN of having fun with both Halloween AND Christmas, now take a Christmas story/character and draw what they might appear as if they were actually a character talked or sung about in a Halloween story.

Oct. 25th: Another favorite of mine: take any character(s) from a piece of animated content you enjoy, and draw them in the style of another piece of animated content!

Oct. 26th: Go to the latest playlist you were listening to, put it on shuffle, and see what song it plays. Take the title of that song and use it as inspiration for a Halloween/Autumn themed drawing of your choice.

Oct. 27th: Take a favorite pair of characters from a piece of content you enjoy and depict what their matching Halloween costumes would be!

Oct. 28th: [Random event from this past year] … and Zombies!!

Oct. 29th: Every town’s got some local businesses with interesting names (Jerry’s Tire Barn Emporium, stuff like that). If you know of one in your local town, take that name, and imagine it to be the name of a Haunted House. Depict what that location may look like. I wanna learn about some funny local business names.

Oct. 30th: Take one item from your desk/workspace, anything you want. This item is now the inpiration of a brand NEW cryptid (like Sasquatch, Loch Ness, El Chupacabra, just some legendary creature we have yet to find hard evidence of). Depict what this cryptid would be!

Oct. 31st: And, of course, in typical fashion for the big day, give me any character(s) of your choice, from any piece of content, enjoying Halloween in whatever way seems appropriate to them!!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL October! And hope you enjoy these different art ideas! Looking forward to anything it may bring about!

Baby’s First Birthday (Andrew DeLuca x Alex Karev’s Sister Imagine)

Age Rating: 12+

Chapters: One of One

Fandom: Grey’s Anatomy

Ship: Andrew DeLuca x Amber Karev (Alex Karev’s Sister)

AN: Hey guys, so I’ve been posting less because I just started fall classes and you know how those can go so I’m gonna try to do holiday chapters for my blog. And one of those is a birthday party so enjoy, reblog, let me know what you think.

Summary: Andrew and Amber celebrate their daughter Lucy’s first birthday with a small party attended by their family and friends.

Words: 1003

October 20th, 2023

“Tanti auguri a te.” Andrew DeLuca sings as he walks towards his daughter carrying a plate of pancakes with whipped cream topped with a lit single birthday candle.

His now 1 year old daughter is inside her highchair looking at her birthday breakfast with a wide smile. Meanwhile his wife and mother of his child, Amber DeLuca nee Karev, is by the chair filming everything on her phone with a smile for the birthday girl.

“Tanti auguri a te, tanti auguri a Lucia, tanti auguri a te!” He finishes the Italian song and places the plate in front of Lucy who looks at the candle mesmerized.

Amber chuckles while still filming, “And in case you were wondering your daddy was singing Happy Birthday in Italian even though you don’t speak it yet.”

“Oh but she shall.” Andrew says with confidence before leaning down smiling at their daughter who is staring at the pancakes, “Si, lo farai. You shall.”

Amber shakes her head amused before turning her attention to their daughter, “Make a wish sweetheart.”

Andrew helps Lucy blow out the candle on top of the pancakes causing Amber to yay before putting her phone down. Lucy scoops up whipped cream on top with her hands before putting it in her mouth to eat. Amber and Andrew smile at the sight overcome with love for their little girl who is growing up before their eyes.

“How did a year go by so fast? It feels like only yesterday I was holding her in my arms after the 8 hours of labor and pain.”

Andrew grins knowing the feeling as well, “I think the crying and diaper changing sped up time somehow. You’re a year old now bambina how does it feel?”

Lucy is too busy eating the whipped cream to give her dad the time of day to her mom’s amusement who cuts up the pancakes so her one-year-old can safely eat them.

“And there’s plenty more to come tonight at your birthday party yay!”

“Yay! You get to see everyone, your uncles, your aunts, your cousins and you get to eat cake, aren’t you excited?”

Amber smiles helping Lucy feed herself, “I think she’s more excited about all the toys she’s gonna get from doctors who don’t have a budget. I know we are.”

“Amen bella.” Andrew kisses the top of his daughter’s brunette head happy to celebrate this momentous occasion with his family.

That Night

Kiddie music plays throughout Andrew and Amber’s house that is decorated with a fairy tale theme. There are streamers, balloons and plates with Disney princesses on them and colorful sweets that the guests enjoy as they wait downstairs for the party girl to come with her parents. Alex and Jo are talking to Maya and Carina on the couch while their kids, Liam and Luna play with each other by their feet.

The sound of stairs descending snaps the guests’ attention as they watch the happy parents bring the birthday girl down to her party. Amber DeLuca smiles at their friends and family wearing a white dress while Andrew has a beige suit with a while shirt under. In Andrew’s arms is their daughter who is looking especially pretty with her short wavy brown hair pulled back with a pink headband that matches her pink silk mesh dress.

Andrew and Amber approach their respective siblings on the couch where they each give Lucy a birthday hug and kiss. Lucy giggles and waves her little chubby hands around as she’s passed around by her uncle and aunts. Maya gives a painful chuckle as her baby niece pulls her long hair down making Carina laugh before gently extracting Lucy’s grip. Alex makes a playful fart noise against his niece’s cheek causing her to giggle. Jo does the same unable to resist before giving her a big fat kiss on her chubby little cheek and handing her back to her parents who smile at the attention their daughter is getting so far.

They carry Lucy from person to person who all greet the small and happy girl with smiles and happy birthdays. All of their friends and colleagues from the hospital are at this party mingling and celebrating this milestone of Lucy DeLuca’s. The only people absent are Jackson Avery and April Kepner who more than made up for it with a mini ball pit that arrived yesterday along with a check for 5000 dollars for the college fund that Amber and Andrew started for Lucy.

After posing with Lucy for the cake and watching her scoop it up and shove it in her face, Amber picks up the 1-year-old from the highchair allowing the guests to mingle again. She approaches Andrew with a very happy, cake faced baby in her arms who ruins her moms expensive dress with pink frosting. Amber doesn’t care as the only thing that matters right now is ending her daughter’s birthday with the father of her child who also made sure this party would go off without a hitch.

Andrew chuckles at his messy daughter who smiles at her daddy and leans in to give him a big hug. He grins warmheartedly at the sight before wrapping his arm around his wife’s waist and pulling her closer. Amber smiles up at him thankful her daughter has a father who loves her and wants to give her the happy childhood neither of their fathers gave them.

“We love you.” Amber says softly, “Thank you for today.”

Andrew kisses the top of her head pulling back with a grin, “I love my girls.”

Lucy stretches her arms out to her dad wanting him to hold her which of course he can’t resist. Amber helps her daughter giving her to her daddy who opens his arms ready to take the bundle of joy. Lucy wraps her chubby arms around his neck and leans her cheek against his, which melts her parents’ hearts. They hold their daughter happy to give her a perfect first birthday.

Hey there everyone, and welcome to night sixteen of the tenth annual Wreck-it Ralph Pin Post Month!

Tonight we've got the DLR/WDW, National Princess Day 2023, Vanellope Von Schweetz, Wreck-it Ralph pin. LR.

On November 18th of 2023, for a limited time the Disney Company released this little pin in celebration of National Princess Day. Which of course took place on that very same day, making it the tenth pin released for a set known as the 2023 Special Days series. A small collection of pins released for eleven unique holiday pins, such as the National Pancake Day pin I showcased last year. For Princess Day we see Vanellope standing with her arms raised while wearing the pink, poofy princess dress she was briefly seen in at the end of the first Wreck-it Ralph movie. The pastel pink pin itself is made in the shape of a crown, with the words "Celebrate National Princess Day" in pinkish red displayed in a border of pink peppermint candy beneath Vanellope. While the year of this pin's release, 2023, is written in small print right above her head.

I can't help but feel a sense of humor emanating off this pin when I look at it. After all, Vanellope appeared quite uncomfortable in the puffy gown, and more at ease in the role as President rather then Princess at the end of the first film. Ditching both the title and dress not even five minutes after having them returned to her. As a result I can't help but feel that Vanellope got dressed up as a joke rather then to truly represent a Princess on the holiday. The more I think of it however, perhaps it was a good idea to have Vanellope crash this holiday rather then having to pick favorites among the other Disney Princesses. Joking or not, the pin itself contains a great deal of detail in Vanellope's hair and dress. (An outfit choice that collectors have requested to see her in for at least one pin, and finally gained through this pin). Then there is the choice of a glitter in the background; which gives it a shiny, silvery look that pairs well with the pastels of the rest of the pin. A well put together pin that looks like a dream to young girls desiring pink princess days of their own.

Lion King and Aladdin Crossover - Disney Santa 2023

Zazu and Iago share gifts with each other - Lion King and Aladdin Crossover - Disney Santa 2023

That I don't just draw exclusively ducks (although I love them the most), I certainly drew other birds, so I started with other Disney cartoons. This time related to the Disney Secret Santa held on Deviantart every year and my first time doing this. Yes, I am also posting about National Bird Day, which is celebrated on January 5th every year.

I'm already late, but let me say right away that I did and this is my first time drawing these characters and it's really a pleasure to draw them. I did this related to Disney Santa 2023 for Disney Dreamers on Deviantart and this is my belated Christmas and New Year's gift to @Gotapenname from Deviantart and I'm Secret Santa for her, and I did what she loves the most. I drew her favorite characters Zazu the bird and Iago the parrot sharing gifts (vases or bowls that hold the birds' favorite bugs) and this is part of a crossover of one of my favorite Disney movies, Aladdin and The Lion King. Apart from them, there are also Timon and Pumbaa, Abu the monkey, Rafiki the baboon, Genie, Aladdin and Jasmine. I wanted to add Simba and Nala as well, but unfortunately I wouldn't care for all of them, so I'm sorry. Yes, since it is strange that they celebrate those holidays in those countries (Africa and the Middle East, primarily Arabia, but we are referring to the pre-Muslim period), so I did it this way. Yes, I still need to practice drawing human characters as well as animal characters. I hope you like this drawing and this crossover and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2024!

Yes, this year is also the 30th anniversary of The Lion King, as well as the 30th anniversary of the Aladdin series.

Iago, Zazu, Timon and Pumbaa, Abu, Genie, Rafiki, Aladdin and Jasmine, all created by Disney (C)

[ladylooch]

i miss the fialas!!!! Can we get a christmas or new year celebration blurb ☹️☹️☹️

OPE!!!! THE WAY TO MY HEART!!! Missing the Fialas 🥲

How about some key moments for the end of the year holidays?

Sam is currently pregnant with Luca. So Kevin addressed all of her VERY expensive presents to Mama from Daddy. She swears he gets more and more outrageous with gifts every year.

Sam and Kevin hosted Christmas for the first time in their home! Kevin’s family came from Switzerland. It was exhausting, but amazing. They left on the 29th of December and Sam slept for about 13 hours afterwards. Kevin only woke her up twice because he was nervous she wasn’t okay. Kudos to Sam who only smacked at his face one of those times. 

Kevin had a few crazy games with the Wild (yep, I hate it too. RIP to my feelings). He was in and out of the box. While Sam mostly kept her comments to herself, she sassed him about his time in the box. “You could charge rent to the other players because you’re in there so much you basically own it.”

Although winter in Minnesota had been warmer than usual, it is still dry. Three times a day, Kevin lathers up Sam’s belly with special pregnancy oil to help prevent stretch marks. Sam is pretty sure she saw one growing the other day, but daddy Kev paid extra attention to the area to soothe his wife’s worries. “You are so beautiful.” He kept murmuring. “Buddy, I can’t wait until you’re here to we can both hype your hot mama up.” Sam pulls Kevin down for a heavy, hot kiss.

Over the brief break, they went shopping for tons of baby things. They finally have Luca’s crib, changing table, dresser, and the most comfortable chair for him. His closet and dresser are filled with clothes and Sam hasn’t even had her baby shower yet. Luca’s room is almost complete, but mom and dad are disappointed with how much longer they have to wait for his arrival. They feel so ready for this next chapter.

On NYE, they both skipped the champagne and danced around the living room to their favorite songs of 2023. Then they went to bed, dreaming of all the big things sure to happen in 2024. 

New Years Day began with breakfast and morning snuggles in bed. The snuggles continued as they took down a movie marathon of Disney movies, including some Kevin had never seen before. Pasta was made for dinner. Kevin swirled some red wine in his mouth and kissed Sam so she could get a safe taste. “When he is here, I want a bottle of wine brought to me in the hospital.” Sam insists. “And sushi!” She points at her husband, squinting. “I got you, baby.” He confirms.

Want a candle based on your favorite celeb?

So, I’m going to shamelessly self-promote my shop here, so please bear with me.  in 2020, I picked up a hobby of making candles, and soon afterward people started calling me to make some for them. Fast forward to 2023, and I’ve multiple collections tailoring to fandom, fangirls, fanboys, gamers, and swifties.

I have Avengers inspired candles, Disney World inspired candles, D&D inspired candles, Taylor Swift inspired candles, celebrity inspired candles, Harry Potter inspired candles, everyday scents, and during the year I have spring, summer, fall, and winter/holiday scents as well as a special Pride scent each June.

Why am I posting here? Because marketing is expensive, and I’m not too good at it anywhere else. 

The shop is Jen & Jute Candle Co., LLC and can be found by clicking the shop name or right HERE.

(PS I can’t post all of my candle images here because Tumblr will not let me submit that big of a post, so, if you would like to see all that I have to offer, please visit the website.)

And there’s SO MANY MORE!

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

I am a gossip lover (work gossip, family gossip etc are all catnip to me) and celebrity gossip is no different because I am shameless. It is so interesting to figure out how it all works and the PR of it all. You can see who has good PR and listens to them, who is just a major human going through a mess (even if they have good PR), who is new to this etc. Watching JLo and Ben Affleck, I think their PR is waiting for a certain piece of news to drop and the moment it does, they will be hitting send on the divorce news.

Aside, but the initial handling of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce was like...PR 101. Joe was all over the place in his messaging thinking that hit pieces would work while Sophie was deadly quiet for the most part, finished her job, got situated in NYC, and let legal channels do their job. When she did do an interview, it was detailed, touched on her personal and professional life, did not throw any mud, and let people in on how things went down. Like it is hard while it is happening, but you can see how a well-handled story can really help someone long-term.

oh DUDE you are speaking my language!!! I used to be a gossip junkie and while I am decidedly not anymore mostly because there are no legitimate, reliable sources of entertainment news anymore it's all ad-filled clickbait and cesspool forums like reddit and also I've grown up and realized I don't really have room in my mind to care about these people (other than Taylor lol), I still have an interest in pop culture in general. But ALSO, I love this kind of behind the scenes stuff and I LOOOOOOOVE looking at it from a PR/comms lens. Not just because it's, um, slightly professionally relevant to me, but also I just love strategy and words and whatnot.

The rumoured JLo/Ben divorce is PR 101, waiting for either a holiday weekend and/or a major news event to drop your bad news to get it buried in the news cycle. (A classic example is Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's separation announcement I believe shortly after New Year's back in the day? Or was it July 4th? Anyway, something like that.) It's very likely JLo and Ben (assuming the rumours are true given the planted stories of late) are waiting for July 4th and/or... other news to drop theirs too. I feel like a lot of people are waiting for a certain announcement to drop all their stuff too LOL.

The Joe Jonas vs. Sophie Turner thing is such a good example too. It was total amateur hour vs. pro. He thought he could handle it like it was 2005 and he had the full Disney machine behind him but in 2023 where he is a legacy act with less cover and also celebrities' moves are so much more transparent to the public than they were 20 years ago, it just reeked of desperation. I'm glad the two of them have found a way to be cordial in public for the sake of their kids and that the shenanigans have ceased. I'm sure it was really hard on Sophie, but she played the long game and it worked brilliantly.

I could talk about the logistics/strategy side of this stuff for DAYS lol.

My artworks during 2022.

I wish everyone a happy New Year and happy holidays!

Unfortunately, like last year, I didn't have the exact template with my drawings this year either, so I'll post through this. Unlike 2021, during 2022 I improved my drawing methods a bit, and also opened a new blog where I mostly post my drawings and you can see them here: https://www.tumblr.com/ducktoonsfanart

Yes, I mostly drew related to Donald Duck and the Duckverse, but especially in November I also drew other franchises, mostly from Looney Tunes and Tiny Toons. Yes, this year I managed in all 12 months to draw at least one drawing in one month. Yes, there were ups and downs for me, but overall, the results were solid. Yes, although I mostly draw Quack Pack, I've certainly drawn related to Donald Duck comics, Darkwing Duck and the Three Caballeros. I hope to focus more on not only the Donald Duck franchise this year, but the others as well. I'm hoping to get over 100 followers on my side blog and hit 500 followers on this one. All in all, thanks everyone. And now the results of my drawings, that is, an overview through the year 2022:

True, there are things that didn't work out so well for me, but I'm trying as hard as I can to improve all of that. I hope that the year 2023 will be a better opportunity for my drawing and that it will be better than the previous year and the year before. I thank everyone for following me and keep following me and there will be more surprises. And it won't just be about Disney and Warner Bros.

Once again, happy holidays to everyone and a happy new year 2023!

If you have any impression of what you liked the most and what you didn't like about these drawings, feel free to say so.

(Archive) Animated short film of the day: Down to the bone (Hasta los huesos, 2002)

Originally posted: January 2nd, 2023 Yesterday I mentioned a few important figures, but one of them might elude you: René Castillo. Taking a look at it's small but remarkable filmography may clue you in why he was part of the project, for he is a master of the craft of Stop Motion. More than that, however, his body of work is so overtly Mexican it's nigh impossible to think it was done elsewhere. And really, what's more Mexican than Día de Muertos?

The visuals here are quite eclectic to say the least. Uneven on it's shapes, vibrant in color with some chiaroscuro, a little raunchy in humor (through mostly through visual innuendo) and generally speaking having slight sense of irreverence, it's representation of the afterlife is a lot more influential than you would be lead to believe. Coco (2016) is an obvious one, but this short came out before Corpse Bride (2005) started principal photography, Tim Burton admitting having taken cues from here. It's not hard to see why either: it captures the festivity and energy of Mexican celebrations in ways Disney never dared to.

And yet, the story doesn't shy away from the weight of mortality being the center of the celebration, the sobering epiphany that comes with the holiday that some day we're gonna leave someone behind. In contrast with the black comedy reigning Castillo's first short film Sin Sostén (Without a Bra, 1998), amongst the humor of this one lies a simple but striking character arc, a man coming to grips with the fact he's no longer among the living and has to say goodbye to them as much as they are to him.

Between the music by Café Tacvba, the singing of Eugenia León and all the references to the Mexican Revolution, a lot of singificant figures and imagery from the country may inevitably fly over your head. Regardless, those aspects that are universal within manage to make it a strong contender for the best Día de Muertos animation piece ever made.

Hello there everyone! And welcome to night fifteen of the ninth annual Wreck-it Ralph Pin Post Month!

Tonight we have the DLR/WDW, National Pancake Day 2023, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Wreck-it Ralph pin. LR.

This was released for a limited time in celebration of National Pancake day on the twenty-first of February, featuring what may be the perfect character to represent the minor holiday. Pancake Bunny from the trailer and end credits scene from the Ralph Breaks the Internet movie. The pin itself has the classic pin-on-pin design, featuring a sliding gimmick that allows one to push the pancake stack closer to Bunny's waiting mouth. A little fun detail are the words "Pancake Day '23" written in syrup on the pancake stack.

A little fun fact about this pin. Originally it was released in the UK on the Disney Store website, before later being released in Disney Parks for fans to grab off the shelves. Why this was, well actually while doing research for this pin I came across Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as pancake day in the UK. This day goes deep into English heritage; involving religion, song, traditional recipes, and joyous activities. Including races that originated centuries ago when apparently a local woman late for church was seen dashing through town with a frying pan in her hand. Honestly, I did not expect to go in this direction when writing this post, however the history was fascinating to me and I just wanted to share. Just goes to show the interesting places you may go while doing research.
