#so i'm positively excited!

[ecoplasma]

All of your art is so amazing, even if it's just for a con I would really be looking forward to seeing jjk art in your style! (If you do end up drawing that) You rarely post for fandoms I'm in these days but it doesn't even matter, I just love staring at your art regardless of if I know the character. Congrats on getting the con booth and I hope you're doing well!

It's the big downside of drawing for multiple fandoms, a lot of people will end up disappointed if they follow for just one. So I'm always happy to hear when people stick around for the art no matter who I draw, so thank you very much for telling me this! About jjk, there is a character that's been giving me brainrot. Before I started, I figured I would probably have Gojo as my fave. but alas:

i'm unwell!!! because in stede's eyes, ned low was right!! ned says "he [ed] only likes you because of your bumbling amateur status" and calls stede blackbeard's "pet" just like izzy did in series 1

so stede steps up as a captain, kills the man who harmed his crew, and suddenly, for once in stede's life, he isn't a joke! the gentleman pirate is taken seriously and welcomed into the pirate community!

and what happens less than 24 hours later? ed calls their night together a mistake, AND LEAVES.

yes, obviously the situation is more nuanced, and these old men are once again struggling to communicate, but i 100% understand why stede went a bit of the rails at the end of episode 7. stede's been so focused on trying to help ed, that he's completely ignored his own ongoing identity crisis and trauma, and after the incident at the academy in series 1, this meltdown was long overdue.

remembering waking up post-op after my breast reduction is SO FUNNY because it's such a wild thing to have a Fond Memory of. but I distinctly remember croaking "hell yessss" to my surgeon after he told me I was done and everything went great.

Hey, I’m new to Tumblr, but I’ve seen your characters around the internet and I love them so much!! Everyone has so much love for Machete and Vasco and your art is so cool to see! Do you have any tips for an aspiring artist and creative writer?

Hi! Welcome to tumblr! I'm glad to hear you like my dogs :]

I'm not really a writer, and I also completely lose my confidence when I'm trying to explain my art processes. So this is probably an obvious, unhelpful platitude at best, but one thing I've realized is that you should allow yourself to be self-indulgent. If you're the primary target audience of your own work, it generates passion and keeps you inspired and motivated. I like to believe that people who see your creations are more likely to respond to them positively if they can sense that you're putting your heart and soul to them.

I realize this just comes standard with being a former gifted kid and neurodivergent, but Gale has such huge "This is great! I'm going to get a good grade in _________, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve" energy

is it cringe to admit i'm genuinely excited for the wicked movie

A few more random snapshots of my beloved Cutty Sark. <3

-

The circular wooden item with the holes was something I hadn't seen before - it was suspended from the ceiling and intended to hold drinks and bottles to stop them tipping over or sliding off the table in choppy seas.

Also - as embarrassing as it is to admit - I legitimately didn't notice the model figure up in the rigging (fourth image) until I looked back at my pictures later in the day... 👀

A list of good things that have happened while I wasn't posting art:

I've naturally been growing facial hair

my wrist surgery scar has grown to look like a newt

I went on my first holiday abroad with friends and we had lots of fun and saw lots of beautiful things

My new internship place includes me as an actual part of the team

I saw a lot of cool bugs I hadn't ever seen before

I can sleep soundly with the lights off now, which I couldn't before

I ate new fruits and foods and enjoyed these new sensations heartily

I've been feeding pigeons from my bedroom window

I'm financially independent again

I've learned to cut my own hair and am finally satisfied with a freshly cut hairstyle

Grandma and I went out into the dark to look for toads in the rain

We also enjoyed looking at many van Gogh paintings.

I'm learning to be more vulnerable around friends and have never felt this loved in my entire life

It might be silly to share, but I just want you to know that the artist behind all these art pieces is very happy and doing well! Especially since exactly a year ago I was struggling with the health of my late cat and the possibility of never being able to draw again.

For me, when I look at someone's art, their art starts to glow more brightly when I know the artist is happy irl. So I'm hoping this post will do the same for you!

Some Things I Loved about Rings of Power Season One:

The Harfoots, just everything about them

Elanor especially

The fact that the first people Gandalf meets and befriends in Middle-Earth are the Harfoots

ELENDIL (they really picked the perfecr actor for him)

TAR-MIRIEL

The way Numenor looks in general

Isildur (really excited to see how his character develops!)

Arondir and Bronwyn, separately and together

Adar and the worldbuilding + narrative possibilities he brings to the story

Khazad-Dum my beloved

DURIN AND DISA

I say again, Durin IV and Disa, and also their adorable children

Durin and Elrond's friendship

Robrond (he feels very kind)

The fact that Elrond has slightly different ears than the other elves

Elrond and Galadriel's friendship

Galadriel (I support women's rights and women's wrongs)

And of course, most importantly, Berek the horse

I went to a local yarn store for the first time, and while I was there, somebody was talking about getting a beginner's knitting kit, and she inquired about when lessons were, and when she was told that they'd be happy to sit down with her and teach her, she was so delighted. She talked about how excited she was and how much she wanted to learn to knit, and it just... it made me fall in love with humanity. It was this pure, unadulterated happiness coming from somebody and it was so genuine and kind, and I couldn't help but smile.

I guess all of this is to say... every moment, there are tiny little joys like this all over the world, and it makes this life worth living. I hope you witness and feel joy this simple, this pure.

How are you adjusting to the whole Norse mythology situation?

LEO: I’ve mostly been bugging some of the older einherjar, and Hunding, a little bit, to figure this place out. Do you know how cool it is that some people have been here since the industrial revolution?? There's no way that I'm the first of my dad's kids to make it here. I just don't know who to talk to about it.

((Leo's coping mechanism re: Norse mythology is just hating himself more bc of course he doesn't belong in his own afterlife. but he won't admit that to anyone bc he doesn't know who can be vulnerable with.))

we as a society are not talking enough about ian saying that one of the next bit city episodes has “something with anthony and i” and he like started giggling before he could actually say that but like we all know about his and anthony’s bit that looks like they’re younger selves because it was in the trailer so i feel like there’s something more to it and i can’t stop thinking about it.

bro... bro........ you're so correct. i swear so many things they do feels like a soft launch but at this point i'm inclined to believe they'll go the dan and phil route of never actually ~hard launching~ and just leaving it vague, implying, refusing to outright deny, without ever actually saying it. i SWEAR there's something going on, i'm not insane. you are not insane. we are not insane. hold my hand anon
