#growing up I guess?

recently I've realized I used to draw so much and was decently good at it at a point and then I just?? stopped?
what happened? did I become an adult, get a job, got too exhausted?
I want to give myself permission to be a beginner again. to have fun and not think about where I 'ought to be by this point'
#talking tag#encouragement welcome as well as other struggles#i like knowing im not the only one who feels like that#growing up i guess?

anyways so I did this with Haikyuu with a Specific Moment and it was my favorite pic. It’s not my favorite that was written but it was def fun. Still editing rn so…I’ll post it soon then the JJK one. As you could tell I liked anime a bit but not as much anymore yk :)
my favourite type of fan fictions are like. Slightly canon divergent. Like everything is the same but we fix this one annoying detail you can’t stand and let it butterfly effect the whole story.
#growing up I guess?#also kinda watched it for a friend#but haikyuu?#now that is my fav besides Saiki K#both were funny and the action was cool#ugh#i miss Haikyuu now. but Specificslly season three#you’ll see why once I post da story#haikyuu#fan fiction#writing

dream from several days ago
#dream diary#artists on tumblr#flotsam diaries#sequential#...I said I was gonna sleep but that obviously didn't happen HAHA#anyways really happy that I was able to get the colors/vibes I wanted down fjhkgj :'D#a lot of nitpicking and adjusting hahah#also kororon/eve was on blast for the majority of drawing this hghhjf#alright good night/morning/something yall#edit: was thinking more and the feeling I wanted to get across I guess is like when someone voluntarily#reaches out to touch me/casually/platonically and it's like a 'you're touching me of your own free will??? o H'#because when I was growing up had a parent who wasn't physically affectionate/would kinda brush me off#and that uhhhh kinda internalized as I'm gross and therefore shouldn't touch other people#(lmao took covid lockdown and very good friends to basically destroy that feeling yay)#anYWAYS had feelings but didn't quite know how to verbalize it hahah

I wonder if one reason that Mumbo and Tommy, unlikely duo that they are, get along so well is because Mumbo knows what it’s like to be a kid with a chance to impress his heroes.
Mumbo was also a teenager when he joined the server that made his career.
He also grew up surrounded by his heroes and getting to call them peers.
He knows what it’s like to grow and change alongside the medium that defined you.
Neither of them are kids anymore. Both of them grew up alongside a silly little block game, playing alongside the people who inspired them, calling them friends. Starting out as the group kid and then growing up.
And I can’t help but imagine that Mumbo sees a lot of himself in Tommy.
#idk maybe this is weird of me but i keep thinking about it#also thinking about how I’M growing up in this fandom and changing alongside it#being rather nostalgic tonight i guess#mumbo jumbo#tommyinnit#hermitcraft#dsmp#mcyt#sharp has too many thoughts

It’s crazy that the twins are turning 25 today because at this moment probably Dipper has already finished his degree in engineering and is doing a masters and maybe a PHD, Mabel having finished hers in art. At this rate they’re old enough to drink, and drive, and vote and reflect on what-the-f happened to them as kids. Right now they’re probably celebrating their birthday in a small private party in the shack. Now the grunkles are 80 yrs and too old to sail at sea. Maybe now Greta is about to marry that duke; she’s as confident and beautiful as she’s ever been. Maybe Candy has some interesting stuff going on. Soos has a child with Melody, and the grandma has passed away, Waddles as well. Wendy is probably not working at the Mystery Shack ( she still cuts wood in her free time). The Weirdmagedon was so much time ago that all of Gravity Falls now can laugh about it. No one really talks about Bill, or the monsters, or the destruction, death and fear that came with them. For more than a decade the town has been at peace. For more than a decade Ford hasn’t feel like a freak. For more than a decade Stan has had what he had wanted for the most part of his life. For more than a decade the Pines twins, both sets, have been loved.
Mabel is now longer afraid of growing up. She already has, and she’s thriving. Dipper doesn’t fears he’s not good enough. Maybe their parents divorced, maybe they didn’t, but each year instead of going home in summer break from college they go to the same small town that opened their arms to them so so many years ago, and they feel like children again.
They. The children that taught me that growing up maybe is not so bad.
Happy Birthday indeed Mabel and Dipper Pines
#gravity falls#gravity falls mabel#dipper and mabel#mabel pines#dipper pines#gravity falls dipper#happy birthday pines twins#grunkle stan#grunkle ford#sea grunkles#stan pines#ford pines#mystery twins#the pines family my beloved#I’m so drunk and emotional right now#but oh growing up is not so bad if you have good enough company#my fav fictional babies turn 25 today#headcanon I guess but for me is canon#edit: I forgot to add Gideon#I think now he know how to ride a skateboard at least#that lil bitch

Star Wars AU where the council time travels back to when Obi-Wan was still an itty-bitty baby initiate. Including, you know. Council Member Obi-Wan Kenobi. So they’re all in their younger bodies and talking with the current non-time traveling members of the council, and they’re like “hold on, we got one more coming in”
And in walks in like. Nine year old Initiate Obi-Wan, all chubby-cheeked with fluffy bright red hair, and giant blue eyes.
Just. Their faces, okay?
Now keep in mind I want the council to always be Up To Shenanigans. I’m talking like 2015 Avengers tower found family era fics okay, they’re one big family and Obi-Wan is now super officially The Baby and literally nothing he does will ever stop that again. And despite everything, every single council member is, at heart, incredibly petty in that special Jedi family way and are so ready to not be dealing with a war Right This Very Minute.
What I keep picturing is Baby-Wan wiggling his way into a chair, situating himself Very Regally, then clasping his hands in classic Negotiator style, then speaking up with the Most Serious Of Tiny Baby Voices as the main spokesperson on the Council Of Petty Time Travelers
I just want to see people not in the know
I want Jedi of all ages witnessing Jedi masters, councilmen and women, long lived and wisest of the Jedi, coming to the crèche to visit tiny lil Baby-Wan about his opinions on current events and how they should handle this treaty and also when are you free I want to test my soresu
I just think it’d be funny
#my writing#hijinks#star wars#text post#star wars the clone wars#star wars legends#tcw#jedi council#obi wan kenobi#mace windu#plo koon#yoda#kit fisto#shaak ti#listen I know there’s more council members but those are the ones I remember rn so#time travel#personally I think that peripherally there was always the acknowledgment of ‘oh yeah we all watched obi grow up’#but there is a difference between ‘I remember like thirty years ago when you were tiny’#and ‘OH WOW GUESS YOURE TINY NOW’‘#guess who is never living this down ever?

the rest of the cast got their new song covers, so i wanted to try putting the others in a band :>
i did want to make it look a bit like an album cover but i have no idea how those are designed so eh?? i also couldn't think of any band or album/song names so. if anyone has any ideas...
#art#obey me#obey me raphael#jtta ik#obey me mephistopheles#obey me thirteen#from left to right they are: lead singer/rhythm guitar - drummer - lead guitar - bass#tbh any of them could've taken any role but bassist girl thirteen spoke to me and raph canonically sings well so that felt like it fit#i did consider ik as lead but she'd absolutely shred on the drums. she has so much pent-up rage to let out...#in context this is for a music festival diavolo's putting on but it'd be a fun au as well#i like to think thirteen is the overwhelming favourite of all the fangirls#also in terms of band name...#i was thinking something based on the fact that there's one of each species (human/demon/angel/reaper) but what word can i use for that#jo has suggested something involving the numbers 3 and 4 for 3 realms and 4 members#3.4HZ Harmony was the best we could come up but it feels like there should be a sorta other-world element to it#then again if it's an au then i guess they'd all be humans anyway#ah whatever#life and work related obligations have been growing so naturally i've been starting a bunch of creative endeavours to try to get away from#is this a long term good thing for future career prospects? probably not. but i'd rather be happy#the unknowables

Don't forget
when you feel the sun on your back
to turn around
what's dead is dead and
the light is telling you:
"Only better things ahead."
—from a note I found that I wrote to myself when I was younger
#911 abc#911#k spirals#it just had firefam vibes to me I guess#i love going thru all my journals growing up i needed a therapist so bad😍#anyway dont perceive my mentally ill childhood
