'I was cute :D' + 'I still see this kid in me today [...] I weirdly still feel very close to this version of me '

I feel like I'm gonna throw up :))))

Being a trans individual during election season is fucking terrifying. I'm literally watching my rights slip down the drain in real-time.

Obsession, Desperation

- -

Do you ever get so obsessed with someone that you dream of kissing them, proceed to call them as often as possible to try and talk things out with them and end up booking an entire flight because they won't talk to you? (/nsrs - don't actually do this 💀)

[ Transcript + Creds under the cut <3 ]

Panel 1 : I've tried to call you, time and time again, i think you know this by now / I don't know what to say anymore... I don't know if you've even heard my voicemails / Listen, I just need to talk to you, talk things through, it's been so, so long, please

Panel 2 : I'm desperate for an answer / And like the rest of my desperation in my life, intrusive became impulsive / This is all very abrupt, but Rylan will look after my apartment in my absence

Panel 3 : I'll be back in a week's time

Panel 4 : - $158

Panel 5 : Cause I just hate the way you spoke / Green eyes make everything numb

"frightened little prince, keep living, for you can become king one day."

so. funfact. Maelgwyn was a prematurely awakened sapling. he was so sad and wet. for five years, he tried and failed to make his presumed dead by him tree's cave a home. the cave screamers, cave-ins, and scarcity of food made that impossible. eventually he had spent so much time failing to make it work, stressed, scared to death, crying every night, he decided risking his life trying to find somewhere better he could actually live at, was far preferable to certain death in that cave with a tree he could not hear nor understand.

The idea that goes around that Bruce saw Cass as a soldier in Batgirl (2000) makes no sense because he shows multiple times that he cares deeply about her. Did y'all forget all the fucking dialogues in the comics showing just that? Did you miss Bruce going through his usual "OMG I'm a terrible father I don't deserve to be in her life, I only bring her misery!" thinking? Like, he's clearly not helping her having a normal life, he is teaching her to be like him, to be dedicated body and soul to the mission, and it's not great, but it's not seeing her as a soldier, more like a second mini him. The most hurtful thing he did to Cass, in Cass' eyes, was trying to give her a normal life and stop her from being Batgirl, which Barbara agreed on. Like, can we stop saying Bruce views his kids as soldiers because he trains them, has expectations for them to be good people and let them fight crimes, while having difficulties with his emotions and communications? The principle of a soldier is that they are meant to be easily replaceable, but he cares about his kids, and they want to be doing this shit! They hate when he tries to make them have a normal life because he is scared they are hurting!

"I thought Cassandra was just like me."

"Maybe being Batgirl is doing her more harm than good. She grew up surrounded by violence and brutality. And all I've done is to surround her with violence again."

"He just wants you [...] to be happy."

"He's worried that being Batgirl is bad for you... That the constant exposure to violence and evil was preventing you from healing the emotional harm you suffered as a child."

"He just worries about you, my dear. He doesn't want you to get hurt."

"I know for a fact that Master Bruce is immeasurably proud of you-- and grateful for all that you've done."

the training montage in crossroads re-ignited a headcanon i had of geralt waking up and doing gymnastics, performing kickflips and mid-air spins around on a fencepost outside an hour before sunrise to ‘limber up,’ and bleary-eyed dandelion wrapping himself up in a blanket to be like "heyyy... what the hell are you doing 💖"

Okay Okay Okay I just saw a post where Dean (16) made Sam (12) breakfast and it was a pancake with an egg and bacon face and Sam went ‘I’m a bit too old for breakfast faces don’t you think?’ and now I’m thinking about Sam watching Dean cook in the bunker and like, Claire and Cas or Charlie are over and he makes them all breakfast and everyone gets a breakfast face except for Sam and it just suddenly hits him and he might just be kind of jealous, in the way your four year old kid will get jealous if you spend too long cooing over another child and Dean notices that Sam’s sort of just pushing his food around and he’s NOT pouting, no sir, and he elbows him and raises an eyebrow and it means ‘are you good?’ And Sam. Sam can’t tell him he’s upset because Dean stopped making him breakfast faces after he said he was too old for them AGES ago, that’s just stupid and dumb, but his eyes do flash over to the other plates.

And look, Dean knows his brother. Maybe not faultlessly, maybe not always in the things that are big or world saving, they’re still just people and they fuck up, but he knows his brother in the ways that matter, and the next morning, Sam walks into the kitchen and Dean smiles, gives him a cup of coffee and Sam murmurs a Thanks, it’s just the two of them because they wake up ridiculously early due to trauma, insomnia and just straight up habit and Dean is humming a soft rock song under his breath. Sam’s shoulders drop just a fraction and he holds the coffee mug in his hands and enjoys the warmth and he breathes deeply, something soft settling in his chest at the domesticity, fammiliarity, the unspoken love floating around in the air in the form of the smell of coffee and a cooking breakfast. And Dean places a bowl of oatmeal in front of him and it has a blueberry smile and banana eyes and a Single almond as a nose and two drops of maple syrup for cheeks and nothing else matters.

The air is starting to smell like isolating myself and avoiding all contact with everyone again and I’m not sure if I really want that but I am

There’s this thing I see on tiktok a lot (no idea if it’s also here on tumblr), where the Dumbledore bashing extends to it somehow being his fault that Regulus went to the cave and was killed, and I cannot fucking stand it

First off, not a fan where the tiniest bit of canon we get for those characters is rewritten, and second, that takes away from the coolest part of Regulus’ character, this was a guy, completely by himself, where the family he talked to and all his house members and any friends he possibly had were all loyal followers of Voldemort

And he decided, without that connection to Dumbledore or anyone light, to defy Voldemort in a huge way, and he also somehow figured out that the locket was crucial to Voldemort staying alive

(Voldemort letting his followers be aware of his horcruxes but not what they actually are seems to be a trend, if you believe he didn’t tell Lucius what the diary actually was, or Bellatrix what she was actually hiding, but Regulus figured out the locket on his own)

And he did all this for his house elf, a creature no one else would’ve even thought twice about letting Voldemort kill

Making it so that Regulus knew about the horcruxes and went to the cave because of Dumbledore takes away how amazing it was that he decided to do that on his own and how smart he was to have figured all that out

(On this note tho, real quick, I don’t think that just because Regulus found one and got close to destroying it, that it would make him this amazing horcrux hunter compared to Harry)

how did u learn to paint?? like i just cant wrap my head around it

<3 I love answering asks like this!

You will have to bare with me, I don't save many of my studies, and my files aren't that organized so I don't have as many images as I would like.

The studies I've found most helpful for myself personally with painting are various master studies. (This is also, as always, alongside study of fundamentals.) And always follow a study with self-critique (and, if you can get it, outside critique!)

"Master" in this sense means anyone who you want to learn something from.

One way you can do this is by copying an artist's work directly. This is to try and understand some of their stylistic techniques. Leyendecker, Andrew Loomis, and John Singer Sargent are personal favorites of mine! I try to keep these quick, I'm not trying to get an exact copy.

I also get a lot out of copying photos. In this case, I'm not trying to glean some technique, rather, I'm trying to interpret the photo and explore my own stylizations.

(photo credit mountain men of alaska )

I also really enjoy taking a painting or piece that already exists, and making it "mine" by putting my characters in it haha, which is sort of a combination of master studies and photo studies!

(William Bruce Ellis - Covent Garden (1930)) (Barberini Faun)

And then, in my work that's not a study at all, I'm informed by all of these!

What master studies do is help me refine my style and practice my technique, but also I'm communicating with artists of the past through my art! They're teaching me! And I have so much to learn.

And of course... most importantly... I paint.

a lot.

I don't do as much study anymore, not because I feel I've learned all I need to, but because for work I draw 50+ drawings a week. 'Drawing for work' and 'study' occupy the same space in my brain and I need some fun drawing time!

So to sum up, draw a lot, reference constantly, and copy the people you want to draw more like!

(and, of course, when doing a study off of someone else's work, always give them credit. If it's your photos there's no need.)

ok fellas this post is really different from my other stuff so i'm putting it under the cut for people who don't care and also because i'm slightly embarrassed

ok so. is it unusual for a girl to want to have a deep voice and a flat chest and a more square face and also feel slightly jealous of men and want to sound like them and look like them

and also is it unusual to want to be all that, but also simultaneously not be very bothered very much by how you look right now or by being referred to with she/her except for sometimes when you think about it too much. because i usually don't think about it except for sometimes where i suddenly just get really sad about being a girl or i'll always have this faint feeling that i am just unhappy about it

and also is it unusual to try to ignore it and go about your life being unbothered by it even though deep down it does kinda bother you but you can't really. like. say anything to anyone because your family won't react well and neither will your friends because they'll think it's weird and uncomfortable. i feel afraid to ever feel this way because i know the people in my life won't react well to it

so like. genuine question please lmk wtf is goin on because i'm unsure if it's normal and i've felt like this for a long time and it's confusing me and i don't even know what i'm going to do with the information once i know i'm just sort of lost LMAO
