I think looking through my art over then years is really interesting because in middle school I drew a lot of ( terrible ) fanart, drew a LOT of comics and generally just drew whatever I wanted even though it was pretty terrible.

In highschool I drew a LOT of really serious, really grungey and really naked-heavy art ( Like...I drew naked women very very often because I was a closeted trans man :/) and I also drew a lot of ocs. I was mentally not the worse but I was masking super hard and wanted to understand the kind of struggles other people went through ( I was one of those kids that liked reading really sad stories and 'longed for trauma so that my being the way I am would make sense and be justified' anyway I did have trauma just could not recognize it as such because my life was ' too normal'. Not trying to like trauma dump or whatever I've just thought about it a lot )

Then in college/after college ( during a really difficult time in my life ) I drew a LOT of men. Especially sexy/sexualized men. But my art was less serious and more story driven. Still not comics but a lot of behind the scenes lore was happening. Also drew a lot of OCS. My college art was p weak cause I just wanted to make oc art at the time and all my instructors wanted me to make symbolic pieces that 'meant something' and I was very against that. ( I also was out at this time and was unmasking a lot more - but I also was living through some mildly traumatic stuff. I don't like to call it traumatic but it might have been that. I worry the stuff I think is traumatic isn't and I'm totally blowing it out of proportion. Anyway this isn't venting just observations )

And NOW I make a LOT OF FANART AND A LOT OF COMICS AND A LOT OF WHATEVER I WANT Which is hilarious cause we've come full circle. I don't draw sexual/sexy stuff at all anymore cause I don't enjoy it and I never enjoyed it ( I drew a lot of it in college/after college cause the people around me thought I was asexual and I wanted to prove I wasn't, because I really am not. Might be aromantic tho. Anyway drawing sexy stuff vs not drawing it means nothing in relation to my sexuality ) I also am working on drawing stuff that actually does mean something even tho I hated it in college. But I'm doing it the way I want to. ( this was all because of a comment I got on a fanfic. Wherever you are commented I hope you're doing well. You made me want to create art and fics that have a deeper meaning )

I think currently I am happiest with my art I just wish I had more time for it. Like yeah skill wise I'll probably never be where I want to be - as is the nature of being an artist - but I'm having fun and enjoy sharing my art and that's what matters.

Anyway I'm gonna make a year of art summary but I am also gonna make a 25 years of art summary for my birthday cause I think the comparisons are just funny year to year. Like I'll have gaps and stuff obviously but the circle of art I've been going through is so wild

Also side note none OF THIS IS MEANT TO BE A VENT ANY MENTAL HEALTH/TRAUMA THINGS ARE JUST OBSERVATIONS I'VE MADE/SPENT TIME THINKING ABOUT OKAY SO PLEASE DONT WORRY ABOUT REASSURING ME I DO PLAN ON TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS IN THERAPY OBVIOUSLY IM MENTALLY ACTUALLY P DECENT RN THIS WAS JUST ME RAMBLING ABOUT THE VERY SILLY ART CIRCLE JOURNEY IVE BEEN ON AND ALSO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT INFLUENVED THAT JOURNEY AH

Anybody want a royalty au with a side of curses and fucked up soulmates..... King Dirk and his personal knight Dave based on rp🫶

- Dirk is cursed with something that has been very creatively called Red Miles

- At 13 Dirk's father (Alpha Dave) died to this curse, leaving him to need to shape up and take the crown (officially became king at 16, was cursed as well soon after)

- The curse starts at the extremities and moves across the body pretty quick makes mere touch very painful. The end goal of the curse is to eventually reach the heart, which obv kills u

- Dirk and Dave are cousins, their dads/bros are brothers

- Bro is actually on a revenge quest after D is killed, just- poof, never heard from again.

- When Dave finally finds out about Dirk's curse (bc the mf hides it) he decides "Welp if you're dying then I'm dying with you🫡" and proceeds to bind their souls together (Dirk is Not Happy About This)

- It's okay tho a cure will be found🫶

- @nintendont2502 hi Milo I finally posted it lmao

Thinking about how Barry is a horror show. Bill Hader drawing you in with dark comedy just to shatter the fantasy, trapping you into a lynchian tragedy about the nature of violence and all its forms. The dark spector of abuse will follow you everywhere and affect everyone you touch, and if youre not careful, you become that spector. Whats worse, what makes you ache and greive, is what these people, these characters you can't help but See and Understand, tell themselves to justify trapping themselves and others in this continuous cycle. Glorified war stories written with the blood of occupied foreign territories. Media and its role in facilitating violence. Guns sold across the toys aisle. Bronze effigies, emerald fantasies, false memories, desolate families. This show is terrifying its a ghost haunting my TV and I want to shake Bill Hader upside down so I can collect the fucjed up ideas that fall from his pockets like candies

Datos y curiosidades sobre Martín, parte 2.

Ha dicho que antes de los partidos escucha viejas canciones de pop inglés y reggaeton.

Sus compañeros de equipo le llaman Zubi, aunque ha comentado que Elustondo le llama "Puentemonte" xd.

Esto es porque en euskera zubi significa puente y mendi, montaña. Algo así como puente en la montaña.

A la pregunta de a quién ficharía si fuese presidente de la Real, respondió que a Pedri 😍

Ha comentado que cuando pierde no le gusta hablar y que cuando era pequeño era capaz de tirarse dos o tres días sin mediar palabra, en completo silencio... Kshdkf. Me hace gracia imaginarlo así, es tan lindo.

También ha dicho que a veces queda con sus amigos para que vayan a verlo jugar e ir después a cenar juntos, pero que si pierde se le quitan las ganas y se va para casa xd.

Cuando fue convocado por primera vez con la selección española absoluta, como novatada le "obligaron" a cantar delante de todos "Despechá" de la Rosalía ksjsj hay un vídeo de eso donde se le ve usando una botella como micro.

Según un artículo de la prensa sobre los coches de los campeones de la Euro, Martín tiene un Mercedes clase C.

Apenas ve la tele, series o películas. Dice que cuando la enciende es para ver fútbol. Un día le pidieron que recomendara una película y dijo que no podía porque no ve películas... aunque hay un viejo mensaje suyo de su época de cadete donde afirma que "El niño con el pijama de rayas" es un peliculón.

Ha dicho que jamás se haría tatuajes.

En una entrevista para la Eitb fue preguntado sobre la gran cuestión que divide al país: "¿La tortilla de patatas, con o sin cebolla?". Es team cebolla (como yo 🥰).

Language Goals 2024

Another year, another set of goals! This year, in the actual spirit of my very reasonable 2022 language goals, here are my plans for language study.

Catalan

First and foremost, my goal is to find Catalan friends in my new hometown, because I really need to speak Catalan with people at minimum once a week or I get very sad, and currently I’m not speaking it with anyone at all. This goal is pretty chill though—I just have to actually sit down and put in the time to find people.

My main goal is to read 30 books in Catalan. I’ll make a proper post about it with a list of books that I’m thinking of and how the challenge itself is going to work, but overall I’m trying to pick a mix of styles and genres, so expect anything from medieval literature to YA novels to academic texts. I have a lot of books that I’ve been meaning to read for a while, so hopefully this will give me a chance to chip into some of them. 30 books is less than other versions of this challenge that I’ve seen, but it’s also many more books than I’ve read in Catalan possibly ever and I think it’s more reasonable in conjunction with a full class load. Hopefully it ends up being just the right amount!

Welsh & Basque

This year I really want to work hard to actually get these two to an upper intermediate level, because I’m so close if I put in the work. For both of them, I have two main goals: (1) go through the textbooks/workbooks that I started going through casually last semester (Basic Welsh: A Grammar and Workbook by Gareth King and Standard Basque: A Progressive Grammar by Rudolf P.G. de Rijk) so that I can continue to review and learn new grammatical structures, and (2) watch one episode of a TV series each week in each language. For the TV series, I’m going to be watching Rownd a Rownd on S4C (which is available outside Wales/the UK! Huge win!) and Eskamak kentzen on EITB. If I have time, I’ll try to go through episodes more thoroughly and note down new vocabulary and such, but the main goal is to make a routine of it and watch consistently so I’m trying to keep it simple. I’d also like to use both languages with other people more often if I can, but I think finding a consistent language partner will perhaps be a goal for another year.

Malayalam

I’m planning to focus the first half of the year on Welsh and Basque, and then next fall, I’m hoping to be able to take the Malayalam classes offered by my university and to get into studying my home dialect (or rather, my extended family’s home dialect, since I didn’t speak it at home) as well. Since this will be later and also classroom learning rather than self-study, I’m not going to go into details, but overall, after my trip to Kerala (which I have stuff about, it’s on the docket!), I’m generally feeling much less alienated and much more motivated to study the language. I’m also looking forward to being able to take real classes, which I think will help keep me focused and on track.

Russian

This is a minor goal, but at my friend’s house over the summer, her mom was joking that if they just spoke to me in Russian while I stayed at their house, I’d probably be able to understand it by the end. That led us to concoct a plan where I study a bit of Russian vocab, then go there and do intensive Russian immersion for a weekend or so. This is more of a silly goal, but I’d like to try it because I think it could be fun.

Anki

This isn’t a language goal per se, but rather a general resolution to spend this year learning to use (and tweaking and configuring) Anki. Anki has a notoriously high barrier to entry, and from everything I’ve seen it should be treated as a long-term, intensive project—I’ll hopefully reap the rewards later if I take my time and set up everything right in the early stages. With that in mind, I’m hoping that by the end of the year I’ve figure out a set up for my decks and cards that really works for getting me to remember and be able to use vocab and grammar. I’ll focus on the languages here for the start, but I’m hoping that with habit and time, if I get a good system going I can use it with other languages too.

And that’s it! It’s been a bit since I was systematic about studying languages, but I’ve found that I really miss it and want to go back. I feel like I’m at a really good place with all of these, and I’d like to continue to make progress, so I’m really trying to focus on consistency and hitting the sweet spot of just challenging enough to get myself out of my comfort zone while not burning out. Hopefully I’ve set this up in a way to build habits and make me excited to keep immersing myself with these languages in the coming years, which is really the key to learning any language in the long term—I've realized that I speak Catalan so well because it's fully integrated into my life, and I'd like all these others to be as well. Here’s to a good 2024, and I wish all of you luck with your own goals as well!

dragonair, adamant. honestly if you've been on the ranger net within the past... week? you probably know who's sending this but still.

Hmm let's see.

Adamant Dragonair, that's a bit more unusual, but hey, a more stubborn pokemon isn't weird.

While Dragonair can be very compassionate and loving, their protective nature might kick in more and make them more Adamant, unwilling to budge if it does against their protective instincts.

Adamant natured Dragonair tend to be less free flowing and have a harder time learning some of their most effective moves like dragon dance. In return, they might pick up on destructive moves easier.

If you have smaller pokemon or you have known this Dragonair for a while, you might know how to communicate better eitb it, which is one of your best options.

You need to basically walk alongside your dragonair rather than getting follow you or buck up against it.

Try to match your pace to it and stay on even footing.
