OMG I finished this in three days!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

Mad thanks to @sharperthewriter for being my late night doodle chatter and giving me major help and push to get this done!

It's 2024 and the party got out of hand....

Lucre didn't get invited so he's attempting to hold the new years hostage... Unfortunately Kim's on call for GJ and Wade has to page her in to work... despite being less then 30 feet away. Ann's shocked by a possible global hostage, which honestly she really shouldn't be. The Stoppable's wonder if Kim ever just doesn't volunteer for things. Hana was originally excited to be considered adult enough to join the adult party with her soda... but she'd rather be hanging with the other kids.

Motor Ed was told if he was attending, he had to wear something nice... so he even bought something designer... which is still not the dress code requested. Mama Lipsky expected nothing less, but really, Edward. Nana's really wishing he'd chosen somewhere else to sit.

Jim and Tim contemplate the Wego's offer to make this issue a Team Go situation instead of a GJ... its tempting.

No one is actually sure if Mego and Monique are arguing or even what the topic is about. Zeta lost track somewhere around legal implications of fashion and medical malpractice mixed cases and honestly she's waiting that drink from Felix before she decides to rejoin the conversation.

Junior and Bonnie are pretty much there for a good time, not a long time. Though he is rather impressed that when wine got on his shirt that Shego produced such a stunning designer shirt for him and even insisted he keep it and never bring it back here again.

Meanwhile Shego is having more then a few issues this evening. From trying to pawn of Drakken's shirt, Motor Ed's existence, and her brothers actually showing up to the party. The last straw really was Hego deciding to wear a low V so casually. Hego only points out that at least his chest is mostly covered unlike some of the guests.

Drakken had already been done way before midnight what with Shego giving out his clothes, Motor Ed's choice to mock a simple request, and just how many people actually came to this party... the last thing he needs is Ron pointing out he should have invited Lucre to the party... and especially James condescending agreement of it. As if it is HIS fault Lucre's bored.

Rufus would also like someone to notice the giant drooling genetically enhanced Commodore Puddles who keeps trying to play ball with him. They are both too old for this!

NOTE: I know someone's gonna say it about Wade, Jim, and Tim... I just don't believe they would be jacked or overly muscley as we are not in Shego's future and no need to indulge in such activities and genetic enhancements.

Perdersi

Ognuno di noi ha una propria bussola interiore, che gli consente di orientarsi nella vita. I suoi punti cardinali sono: amore, socialità, politica, attività. L’amore racchiude sia la famiglia d’origine che quella che si costruisce con qualcuno e, in generale, tutti gli affetti. La socialità comprende le amicizie, in tutte le loro sfumature di profondità, e la generica frequentazione degli…

Pick a Card

Hello dears, it's time for another reading, drawn from the Metaphysical Cannabis Oracle. Pick whichever card resonates with you, though for some, I believe all the cards will resonate.

RANA RUDU: Am I being an ally to those who could benefit from my voice? Am I being an ally to myself? Where might I not be showing up for myself in ways that ripple out into the world?- Bask in the sun and count your allies. Reach out and tell your people how much you love them. Reach inside and tell yourself how much you love yourself

IRAWO: Am I showing gratitude every day? Do I believe it will all work out for me in the end? Do I believe in my blessings?- Water has memory, water is also used to heal, to wash away the old to make way for the new. Submerge yourself and heal, whether that's a grounding bath or a brisk shower, a dip in the pool or ocean, connect with the element of water and HEAL

ENCHANTMENT: Toast to you and yours. Create a raised environment--an elevated environment--and shift. Ask the plant spirit of cannabis to work with you through your beverages and allow her enchanting wisdom to be recieved-Whether or not you actually partake in cannabis or not, you can still ask the spirit of cannabis to elevate you and your emotions. Put on your favorite song and dance until you run out of breath (if you're not able-bodied, you'd still better put that song on and bask in the joy!!), when your body is pumping full of endorphins and you feel the unbridled joy, raise that glass and toast!

I made a Goodbye Volcano High OC! I've been wondering how to make a pachycephalosaurus in this setting, combining its hard head with a hairstyle, and then I was like "Hey! A bowl cut!", wich reminded me of Guy Gardner, wich made me realize I HAD to make him a jerk... or better yet, a jerk wannabe! Meet Rudus:

I loved the game even more than I expected. There are so many things I want to draw based on it (including a sidekick for this character), when I get the time and energy.

ChalkZone: Rudus Tabootus.

Season 1, Episode 5.

Rudy and his parents visit a coliseum, and Rudy is excited. However, his parents are more interested in the food (Joe prosciutto, and Millie zucchini). Rudy decides to venture into the coliseum on his own. As he walks in, Rudy sees ancient chalk drawings. Having brought his Magic Chalk along, he opens a portal to ChalkZone and enters it.

Rudy sees that it's a chalk version of ancient Rome, and soon sees a lion trying to maul a man as many spectators watch. Rudy hides behind a vase, which the man jumps into it. As the man runs away, the lion starts targeting Rudy as Snap watches from the crowd. Rudy uses his chalk to prevent the lion from attacking him. The lion continues running after him, with Snap also running towards Rudy in the stands. Snap gives Rudy some advice, claiming it's like a lion tamer at the circus.

This gives Rudy an idea: to draw a whip. He uses it to scare the lion, which succeeds as the lion stands on a small chair. An adviser in the stands doesn't find Rudy's feat impressive. Rudy believes all of these chalk drawings are thousands of years old. The king views Rudy as having great courage, and offers that Rudy sit next to him for the upcoming chariot race. The adviser protests the king's decision, with the king replying he has been here for 2,000 years too long.

Rudy states he would rather be in a chariot race than watch one, with the adviser laughing at the thought. The king, on the other hand, views it as a splendid idea. The adviser tries to convince the king otherwise with the stone scriptures, but Rudy uses his chalk to write a new one allowing him to compete. The king states if Rudy wins, he will become the king's adviser. The adviser notes no one has ever defeated him, and believes ever will.

Snap encourages Rudy to add an engine to his chariot, but Rudy refuses, wanting to win it fairly. Soon after, the chariot begins. The race starts off neck-and-neck, but the adviser cheats by using a pocketknife to sabotage Rudy, causing the latter's wheel to break apart. Even the spectators notice the adviser had used his dirty tactic. Snap tries to hang on for dear life, and pleads that Rudy draw something. Rudy redraws his wheel, as he and the adviser are about to crash into each other. However, the adviser jumps into the sky.

However, this leaves the horses he was whipping in charge, with Rudy following after him. It looks as if the adviser will win, but he farts into the horses' faces, causing them to run the other direction and giving Rudy the win. A celebration is held for Rudy, but he's ready to return to the real world, as he has conquered his dream of winning a chariot race. Snap covers for him as he exits the ChalkZone portal. He sees his parents have gotten a large quantity of food, with his parents worried where he was. Rudy replies he won a chariot race, to the laughter of Joe and Millie.

Saling

Salah-salah, perkara lisan dapat menjadi kekesalan. Dianggap bergurau, ternyata diterima jadi hal yang membuat risau. Usia, pengalaman, dan perbedaan latar belakang memang menjadi penentu. Tindak tanduk jangan serampangan tak tentu rudu.

Pendengar juga haruslah melebarkan sabar. Menyalahkan mungkin menyenangkan, tapi memaafkan adalah kemuliaan. Tak perlu memperpanjang amarah, melontar sumpah serapah.

Hingga akhirnya, yang terbaik adalah berupaya memaknai 'saling', menjaga hati agar tetap utuh tak berkeping.
