for sfth fans who don't know: shoot from the hip is also a photography technique where the photographer doesn't raise the camera to their eye and instead just holds the camera in their hand at waist level (hence "shooting from the hip"), which is usually used by street photographers to create more natural sceneries without drawing too much attention to themselves

so if you see a random photography post in this tag, that's why :]

venting like an idiot

the main reason i dont wanna go back to uni is that i feel like i've completely embarrassed myself last year. idk, i feel horrified at the thought of returning and looking these people in the eye. i didn't do anything, i was lazy and barely finished my projects and the only way to redeem myself somehow would be to come back with some new energy and work hard. i didn't even really get a job this summer because i really wanted to rest, cause i thought i would drop out. and i just feel worse, i feel even more tired

In @bluedandylyon 's High School Musical AU, Glimmer is Chad and there being a significant lack of jock Glimmer content, I knew what I needed to do.

Especially after we were joking about how this means she's wearing an assortment of ridiculous t-shirts in the background.

Got another question! Anyone can answer this time.

When you all were still in the pizzeria before the guards came, what did you guys do for entertainment? Were you able to play any of the arcade machines or mess around with the plushies, or did you guys just kinda hang out until it came time to get to buissness? Hope this question finds you all well!

i find it just a smidge comical my unofficial break from pjo stuff happened right as i was working on an oc comic that had big lore in it. oops

[mueritos]

wanted to put this here but I did pause my patreon for the month of August and it will likely be paused for the rest of the year as I head back to Boston to finish out my master's next week. I also recently accepted a short-term contract so I'll be working on that while in school (woo-hoo). I'll be online less and less as schooling picks up, but im excited to finish the year ^-^ I'm interning at a college counseling center for an art university and im looking forward to supporting young artists, i'm looking forward to connecting with friends, and im looking forward to the rest pausing my patreon will give me. i'll still be drawing and posting art, but I have been nearing artistic burnout (and maybe even autistic burnout lol) over the past few months and I definitely need this break <3

I'm not on t yet and it's already so bad. how to prepare

Prepare? Nuh uh. It just happens.

The rabid animal phase does go away, sort of.

The level stays mostly the same but you learn to ignore it.

If you can do it, exercising helps.

But when it hits randomly at the worst moment I’m sorry there is nothing to be done LMAO

I bought myself some CDs :3

💖Professor Kosmos ✨

I like to think that after graduating from Hogwarts, Serena continues to study music and comes back as the music professor 🎶 This has to be at the beginning of her tenure at Hogwarts because she looks too cheery 😂😂 she hasn't experienced the chaos of teaching yet

Apple and Raven chat in their dorm

Apple entered the dorm, humming cheerily as she sat at her vanity and began reapplying her makeup.

Raven, already on her bed and trying to relax, rolled her eyes. "Come on! It's the first day of school. No one can be that peppy all the time."

"Oh Raven, that's where you're wrooooong!" Apple sung the end of her sentence. "I'm happy because it's the first day of school. It's the perfect start to another perfect year. Why wouldn't I be happy?"

"Really? A perfect day." Raven sat up.

"All my days are perfect, silly."

"I refuse to believe you have a perfect day every single day of your life. It's not realistic. Surely something bad, however small had to have happened. Come on, tell me the entire day went off without a single thing not going your way."

Apple paused. "Well. I suppose technically there is one thing that did not go my way today. Not that I'll ever let one little hiccup stop me from having a perfect day."

"What happened, stubbed your toe? Accidentally stepped in some mud? Dropped something by accident?"

"No, nothing like that... I was told I wouldn't be taking a math class this semester."

"What??? You're bad thing that happened is you got out of math for a whole semester?"

"I happen to like math!" Apple said, staring sternly at Raven as she said it.

"Who likes math???" Raven laughed.

"As I just said, me! Math is straight forward and always true. Unlike with words where sometimes people say one thing when really they mean the opposite."

"Whaaaaat? The princess doesn't like sarcasm?" Raven asked sarcastically. Seeing Apple fail to laugh, Raven quickly apologized. "Sorry."

"No, it's fine. You're supposed to laugh at me. So really, I should be thanking you."

"Actually... About that. If you don't like sarcasm, are you telling me those times where I'm rude to you and you thank me for it... Are sincere?"

Apple finally returned to focusing on her reflection in her vanity. "Well if course I am, why wouldn't I be?"

"Because people don't usually like when people treat them badly."

"Well you're supposed to treat me badly, you're a villain. My villain, specifically."

Raven sighed then rolled her eyes. "Yeah... Your villain."

"Since we're opening up and being sincere right now... Can I ask you something, Raven?"

"I guess it's only even." Raven responded, crashing to return to lying on her back in bed.

Apple, in the middle of applying mascara, held her arm in place as she asked, "Do you... Not... Like? Being a villain?"

Raven breathed incredulously. "No, not particularly."

"Why... Not?" Apple asked.

"Are you serious right now? Who would?!"

"Well I assume I would in your place."

Raven scowled as she raised her voice. "Oh, and why is that?"

"Because... That's just nature. I was born to be a Snow White so it's in my nature to be beautiful and perfect. Isn't everyone is the same way?"

Raven took a moment to process what Apple was saying. "Your... Nature? You think you are the way you are... Because you were born that way?"

"Well yes of course. We're all born with the talents needed to help us meet our destinies. That's why you're born with magic, right?"

"Uh... No, actually. We only need to poison you with a magic apple, you don't need freaky sorcery powers like my mom and I have to accomplish that. My mom was just a natural and did... Something to make sure I was born with just as much magic potential... If not more." Raven unleashed small bits of magical energy from her hand and watched the faint purple flames dissipate into the air.

"Huh. I was always told the Evil Queen line was full of menacing witches. I guess I just assumed your powers were per the course."

"You seem to assume a lot of things about me."

"So those times where you... Aren't rude to me. Those are... You being genuine? Not just part of the Evil Queen act where you try to gain my trust to betray me with the apple?"

Raven groaned. "There is no act! I don't want to be evil. I just want a normal life where I can just do my own thing and no one has to live in fear of me."

"But why would you want that?" Apple asked. "You have a legacy. You're one of the most important people in the entire world. There's so much responsibility on your shoulders and you just want to... What, ignore it?"

"I never asked to have this responsibility! It's a lot of pressure and maybe someone 'perfect' like you can handle it but I'm just a normal person! A normal person who already feels bad every day being avoided by everyone because they see me as a monster! So sorry, if I'm not as thrilled to live out my destiny as the world's most perfect princess who at least gets a happily ever after out of it."

Apple looked away to contemplate. "I... Never considered that someone might not be as enthusiastic about their destiny as I was. I mean not all destinies are as glamorous as mine... But. Our destinies make us... Important."

"Well I'm stuck having to choose between being important or being happy." Raven said solemnly.

Surprising both the girls, Apple's makeup began to run as a single tear fell down her cheek. "Raven... I'm. I'm so sorry for you. That sounds so hard."

Raven didn't know how to respond. For as smart as Apple is, it surprised Raven that she had genuinely never considered another person's perspective in regards to destiny. She felt the instinctual urge to tease her for this astonishing lack of empathy.

But on the other hand, this was the most... Human she had ever seen Apple. She was always so well put together and also so busy. She went from extracurriculars, to volunteering for the less fortunate, to studying to get ahead on classes that hadn't even started yet. All the while, she managed to keep it up with an impenetrable, smiling facade. But now here she was, crying. Over Raven of all people.

"Thanks... Apple." Seeing her face continue to be bereft with sadness convinced Raven even more that this was not some polite social script Apple was doing for appearances. It was genuine.

"For what it's worth," Raven continued, "I also think you're more than just your destiny."

Apple seemed to rein her emotions in enough by now to begin drying her tears and fixing her makeup. "What... Do you mean by that, Raven?"

"Well... You're destined to get everything handed to you on a silver plate. You don't even... Do much as Snow White, things just kind of happen to you."

Still teary eyed, Apple's face became terse as she prepared a rebuttal, but Raven cut her off. "Let me finish. You're destined to get everything and yet you're still out here working hard like you need to earn it. You're at the top of the class, you're involved in everything. You barely even sleep. You may be the most privileged person I've ever met... But I've also never seen anyone work as hard as you. And that has nothing to do with your destiny. That's all you, Apple."

Apple let Raven's words sink in. "Thank you, Raven. That was. Very kind."
