Important discovery: Sonic can in fact sit on the back of Shadow’s bike!

My friend said this should be a redraw challenge, so take up the opportunity if you’d like, and be sure to tag me so I can see it! ^^

I saw a post today talking about how difficult making friends can be, as well as maintaining friendships, and as someone who has spent the last few years learning how to maintain friendships while moving a couple times and some big life events. One of the best things you can do for a friendship is organise to do THINGS.

Not just meet and talk or chat over message. Arrange to go swimming, or for a row boat ride, cook dinner together, try making clay creatures and laugh at how bad they are. Go to see a play or a singer or a waterfall.

Sit on a call together in silence while you crochet or watch something at the same time in different locations.

Or while you both draw or do dishes and say the random questions that come to mind 'do you think aliens could exist?' 'How can you tell when you're in love?' 'There’s a really cool bird out the window I think you'd like it, it's all blue and green!'

The key is to not try to keep the friendship for the sake of it, but enjoy the Person and their company

Maintaining of a friendship over time requires effort, but also acceptance that you won't speak or see each other all the time. My 3 best friends are all from different phases of life and I have had periods of months or years where I didn’t speak to them just because we had shifted how much we saw each other.

You see them when you see them, you speak when you speak, but you'll find people who with even a tiny amount of effort (a birthday gift, a card, a meme sent, a message or a gif) you can hold onto. People who mean the world to you even though you only see them a could times a year.

I once heard the phrase that friends are like stars, even when you don't see them, they're still there.

Friendships that truly mean something aren't like sitcoms or movies. Life is more complicated and people are too, don't feel bad if your friendships don't match up to what you expect, or if you can't be there all the time.

All things considered, I'm a pretty shit friend sometimes, I forget birthdays and I'm useless to get hold of sometimes. But on either side of friendships that I have, we both make enough of an effort that they're still there.

I'm going to the cinema tomorrow with a friend I've had since I was 11 (or 13 depending how we've decided to measure it that day) and I haven't seen in person in nearly a year. We're still going to have a great time.

Your friendship takes whatever form works for you, don't lose sight of the people you love cos the way you love them doens’t look like 'it's supposed to'

Hey! Before I ask my question, I just want to say that you are amazing and that I really love your art for kid icarus as it's so cool and you really inspire me as an artist🤩✨️

I just want to ask if I could borrow one of your art pieces for reference for my kid icarus uprising AU? If not, that's okay😅

Here's the reference that I'm referring too:

Aww thank you!! Go for it, I don't mind!

Every now and again I find myself missing the roleplaying community on Tumblr. Often years after I leave it behind and convince myself that it isn’t in the cards for me.

Writing has always been soothing, I enjoy getting to meet folks with the same passions as I have. It’s a hobby I do purely for enjoyment.

I’m still not sure if I’ll ever return but perhaps sometime in the future that window will open back up for me. For now I think I’m just too shy to interact with anyone other than my partner and their characters, dbdbd.

December is coming up and I'll have a bit of a free time by then, I'll be opening commissions again bc I am in need of sustenance :> also I am a broke gal. Another side note is that I might start posting uncensored nsfw art on my blsky acc than poipiku so watch out for that. I've been obsessing over Ace lately over at @madbunsy tho the splurge of art there will be posted real soon too so yeh check that out too if you want to know what I've been burrowing in lately oskroektodk

What if I say that the fact people think Jews are white is exactly the proof that the holocaust isn't taken seriously or taught about correctly

CreepSlayerz cosplay and Goblin!

Attended my first convention with my amazing bestie @whoop-dedoo and we cosplayed as the CreepSlayerz!

As a prop, I created a goblin companion to carry around named Flip! He’s made of plaster cloth and is a chunky old geezer for sure lol.

The 0209 address is a reference to S2 Ep9 of Trollhunters; CreepSlayerz! Flip isn’t meant to be the same goblin from that episode, but his name is a node to the flour baby Steve and Eli had to take care of in it!

Eli’s helmet, aka my helmet! The Z and the Aftonsparv were painted by Whoop while I added the various “Eli coded” stickers for some pizzazz lol

Steve’s helmet, aka Whoop’s! Once again lovingly painted by her with some added stickers–they did such a lovely job with both, thank you again! <3

And here’s a blurry selfie where we forgot to do the CreepSlayerz hand pose because we were starving and delusional lol. I literally forgot to get any photos because I was so overwhelmed 😅

Also, at the end here I want to plug Whoop’s Ao3 because they’re a very talented writer who deserves all of the love! Go check em’ out! ^^
