for reasons (i love frustrating myself) i was watching caroline winkler’s video on how to discover your interior design tastes and she basically specifically made a pinterest board with a lot of different stuff so you could see things of variation and not just based off what you clicked on last in the algorithm, so she had you go through and save anything you just loved, ask what you love about it, if there’s anything you dislike about it, and slowly whittle down from there till everything is both something you love and cohesive.
so i did that. and i thiiink what i wound up with is cohesive but idk what i’d call it.
#my thing is i can’t stand anything too stuffy#i hate mess and clutter but it can’t be too clean or fancy or it feels too bougie for me#i wouldn’t be comfortable#i love old stuff#i like trying to go from just ‘utilitarian thing’ to ‘vintage utilitarian thing that is also beautiful and i love it’#i wish i had more color going on but i don’t have much opportunity right now#i love vintage stuff i love stuff that speaks to me#i love stuff cheap but still clean and functional and beautiful#i wish my bedroom could be more of a place that was relaxing and intentional but right now nah#anyway. house dreaming. i hate & love it.

Seeing Logan in the TVA makes me laugh so hard for some reason? Like I know he’s lived to see technology evolve and stuff, but there’s something so funny about a guy from the 1800s standing in some kind of retro-futuristic timey wimey agency to me. Man is confused as hell.
like what da hell is a polar bear doin in arlington texas
#ik hes done odder stuff but like i just find this dude placed in random situations funny#i actually need to hear his thoughts during this entire experience#he was just in a bar a second ago#and now hes standing in some kind of interdimensional corporate office thingie#and now hes got pruned and sent to an interdimensional trash can#this old man is having the weirdest three days of his life#did i post this just for logans silly :( face#yes yes i did#love the amount of confused as hell faces logan makes in this movie#deadpool & wolverine#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool x wolverine#wolverine#logan howlett#hugh jackman#TVA#deadpool 3#worst wolverine#poolverine

Several weeks ago one of my coworkers called me over into her cubicle and gave me a very unexpected gift. Her mother passed away recently, and she'd been packing stuff up at her condo to give to relatives and sell, so the home could be sold. The mother was an avid knitter and crocheter, and when my coworker came upon her stash of equipment, she told me, she "immediately thought of me as someone who might get some use out of it."
So, I have inherited a varied collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks, cable needles, sewing needles, and, best of all, now-out-of-print pattern books, mostly for blankets, because that was what this lady loved to make most. Plus, I also have a bunch of gauge swatches she made, pinned to little bits of card covered in perfect schoolteacher handwriting setting out the patterns they were made to test.
And also...
My coworker brought another bag, full of yarn and...knitted blanket squares. Her mother's last started project, before she got too sick to continue. And she asked if there was anything I could do with it.
It turned out, there are twelve completed squares, and I quickly located the pattern book they are from amid those given to me. It's a book of 60 patterns, meant to be put together however the maker wishes into blankets of 20 squares. I figured out which of the numbered patterns were already made, and selected eight more that I thought might go well with them.
So now! I am working on completing! My coworker's mother's last knitting project!
And I really am feeling very good about doing it.
#kidk says stuff#knit#i love making blankets anyway and these patterns are honestly cool#i already have most of the equipment i'd ever need but i still feel warm and fuzzy having this old gal's stuff too#my coworker thought of me ;__; she's seen my scarves and the table runners and stuff i have in my cubicle#she gave me precious things from her mother's beloved hobby because she 'knew i wouldn't let them go to waste'!#i feel very much like a human being and a member of a community because of this idk it's just nice all right?#crafts#blanket completion project

Being on the nostalgia train this week really helped stretching my artistic legs again. So here, have some old things and some new! For now I'm done with this.
#naruto#team 7#kakashi hatake#dai nana han#listen I seldomly think about naruto but when I do it is only with a fix it mindset so there is always time travel involved#this was fun! overpainting old things is always the most easy for me if I haven't drawn in months#but I am also done with posting that stuff because one. made me draw other things two. there are some.. dedicated naruto fans#and I look into my ask box and go 'haha - hell no'#which kinda does kill the joy#which is WEIRD because isn't it old by now?? shouldn't things be... less intense ppfpfpf#on the other hand I got some lovely comments and stuff so <3#thank you alllll

unfortunately it has been decided that this is one of the funniest scenes in the show, sorry i don’t make the rules
diego’s hand slowly bringing the knife into frame? peak comedy
luther’s “what the- put the knife away” literally never fails to make me laugh
don’t even get me started on klaus’ damn condoms
#tua s3e1 my BELOVED#unfortunately i love this episode so much#the dance scene and this scene and five in his old man robe and the brothers eating#plus viktor’s threatening marcus scene???? gives me chills every time fr#ugh such a good episode#i hate hearing that people think s3 as a whole sucks. do not do s3e1 (and e2#for that matter) like that#laur says stuff#the umbrella academy#tua#umbrella academy#hargreeves siblings#five hargreeves#tua s4#number five hargreeves#number five#tua season 4#klaus hargreeves#tua five#luther hargreeves#tua luther#diego hargreeves#tua diego#tua klaus#viktor hargreeves#tua viktor#ben hargreeves#allison hargreeves#tua allison

In short- the bugs of Hallownest did not take it well. Lots of screaming about "The end of the world" and "past sins coming back to haunt them". Elderbug almost had his second heart attack and basically every bug, other than the Pale King children and Quirrel, hid for several hours. (Zote likes to claim he was the first to make contact)
As for why Dewi's Dad is in Dirtmouth? Well, he wasn't very happy when his 11 year old son told him about going into a 'mysterious cave' to see his bug friends. Adult supervision and all that.
#Elderbug: “Guess I'll die”#Dewi is a lot less intimidating than his Dad. (Despite both looking like eldrich horrors to bugs) He's very gentle with his movements#Compared to his dad who has no idea how to handle bugs at all and is frankly terrified that they are crawling all over him#But man. Dewi idolizes his Dad so hard#The Old Stag is here and Also almost had a heart attack. But he likes Dewi and was curious enough to meet his Dad. <3 why not at this point#Hollow is not wanting to explain their first meeting with Dewi to his Dad. Despite being possessed by an evil moth she-demon.#hehe I loved drawing these guys. tho this took wayyyyy longer than it should have. Anatomy is HARD#dewi#dewi's adventures in Hollow Knight#my art#ask stuff
