Waffles' favorite spot to sleep is on top of his snake plant
Ps. Don't worry, he isn't stuck! He hangs out here several times a day, then climbs down to soak in his water dish

“can you trust me now?” // watercolor & colored pencil
this issssss metaphor by the crane wives.
when i listened to the song, the opening vocals reminded me of a siren. they distract you from the rest of the song, drawing you in.
basically. “don’t look at the ugliness, just stare at the yellow and blue” so yeah!
@mysterypigeon here you go my friend, a tag!

Once Were Warriors is on NZ netflix! switch on ur vpn and give it a watch. (if you dont have a vpn; watch it anyway).
this film is profound, anguished and violent. its essential to ur understanding of nz film and maori culture, especially if you are a fan of temuera morrison (star wars)/taika waitit's comedies. while its fun to occasionally indulge in the stereotype that 'kiwiland' is this idyllic fantasy world, we are a real country with real problems. you cant take the sweet without the bitter and this film explores NZ's bitter history of poverty, abuse, and discrimination, but most importantly: what happens to the survivors?

ABOUT YOUR REBLOG!!! GO GO GO USE WATERCOLORS AND JUST GO CRAZY /GEN
I'm genuinely not experienced at all with watercolors, other than using them a bit back when I was 13 and just sometimes watching people draw with them so!!!! YOU CAN DO ITTTT TOOOOOO
!!!
i have some and i can use them, i barely have any technique tho because i've been using them so sparingly for years
it's very very impressive that you can achieve looks like these with barely any experience ! i think achieving the vision is so much more important than the amount of skill that goes into it but sometimes it's so hard to do that without the skill !
i can do it too i'm sure, but it's just really overwhelming and the supplies don't want to agree with my brain u-u
i'll get it eventually

It turns out the cookies are real — sort of.
They are baked at the home of Lara MacLean, who has been a “puppet wrangler” for the Jim Henson Company for almost three decades. MacLean started as an intern for Sesame Workshop in 1992 and has been working for the team ever since.
The recipe, roughly: Pancake mix, puffed rice, Grape-Nuts and instant coffee, with water in the mixture. The chocolate chips are made using hot glue sticks — essentially colored gobs of glue.
The cookies do not have oils, fats or sugars. Those would stain Cookie Monster. They’re edible, but barely. “Kind of like a dog treat,” MacLean says.
Before she reinvented the recipe in the 2000s, the creative team behind “Sesame Street” used versions of rice crackers and foams to make the cookies. The challenge was that the rice crackers would make more of a mess and get stuck in Cookie’s fur. And the foams didn’t look like cookies once they broke apart.
Cookie has been portrayed since 2001 by David Rudman, who took over the role from Frank Oz. Rudman’s right hand moves the mouth, which is eating, and his left hand holds the cookies. Both work in concert to break the cookies, which means they have to be soft enough to fall apart.
Rudman said soft cookies are best, adding, “The more crumbs, the funnier it is. If he eats the cookie, and it only breaks into two pieces if it’s too hard, it’s just not funny,” he said. “It looks almost painful. But if he eats a cookie and it explodes into a hundred crumbs, that’s where the comedy comes from.”
MacLean has perfected a recipe that is “thin enough that it’ll explode into a hundred crumbs,” Rudman said. “But it’s not too thin that it’ll break in my hand when I’m holding it.”
Not every (human) guest realizes that the cookies aren’t meant to be eaten. Adam Sandler appeared on an episode and decided to share in the muppet's delight by spontaneously eating a cookie with him on set.
“As soon as the cameras cut, he was like, ‘Blech!' ” MacLean said.
