#that’s not how any of this works

I’m going through looking for all the references to Illyria for semi fic related reasons but this early mention of rhys’s mother caught my eye. why would his father not know about him flying? his mother is like the only Illyrian female to not have her wings clipped and her one characteristic is how much she loved to fly, plus he let her send rhys to the war camps where every male Illyrian knows how to fly. like this makes no sense

Idk who needs to hear this but unless you haven’t had caffeine recently and go in taking like 250-300mg+ all at once, your coffees, teas, and even sodas ABSOLUTELY are hydrating. They count as water.

The diuretic effect of caffeine is super freakin small when taken in small doses or if you drink it regularly. We’ve literally known this for two decades now but the myth that a coffee or tea is dehydrating due to diuretic effects is still well alive.

Not one of my clients putting “Africa” for “Country” like it’s not a whole-ass continent made up of many unique countries 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Field work in the northern are of the US was cancelled due to the blizzard. Might want to watch out for any flooding because we won’t be able to see if the water is getting too high!

“All-purpose” flour is such a scam. It completely ruined my washing machine!

I know it’s controversial but I think Annabeth geeking out over the Hephaestus contraptions was adorable

I remember reading a fanfic where character A was asking B not to go out B doesn’t but still ends up dead 🙄 because it’s Halloween, a full moon, and Friday the 13th…??

That’s not possible- Halloween is on the 31st of October… W H A T ? !

The 13th cannot be on the 31st… now I’m just fucking livid for no reason!!!

Ok, so I’m wearing sexy pajamas, and Dad is insulting me and saying that I’m dressing like our home is a whore-house, but he gets upset and tells me to drop it when I point out that a whorehouse is where sex happens but no sex is happening in the house and I’m not planning on having it???

aw man that video about bops in other languages made me look up the background to pumped-up kicks and now i kind of hate it

Foster said to CNN Entertainment, "I wrote 'Pumped Up Kicks' when I began to read about the growing trend in teenage mental illness. I wanted to understand the psychology behind it because it was foreign to me. It was terrifying how mental illness among youth had skyrocketed in the last decade. I was scared to see where the pattern was headed if we didn't start changing the way we were bringing up the next generation." In writing the song, Foster wanted to "get inside the head of an isolated, psychotic kid" and "bring awareness" to the issue of gun violence among youth, which he feels is an epidemic perpetuated by "lack of family, lack of love, and isolation."

“actually the rise in mental illness is scary because mental illness is scary and makes kids violent, and also mental illness is caused by poor upbringing.” fuck you.

Is this my best comic ever?? Nope. Do I think I characterized either of these two particularly well in this comic?? Not really. Did I spend an unreasonable amount of time on it to the point that it would be a waste to not post it?? Yes, yes I did.

I really committed to this one, spent a lot of time on those backgrounds and treated myself to ample suffering with the perspective, which is not my strong suit but I am happy with how it ultimately looks. Yay perspective and background practice!!

(Tbh I shouldn't talk like I think this one sucks, I think I've just been staring at it for so long that my brain has decided it's not good and it's actually way better than I think it is, and honestly I am quite happy with it. The artistic process really is something, isn't it?)

The inspiration was basically me reminding... myself... to take breaks sometimes... by drawing for several hour stints during my only little bits of free time. Which totally tracks. Probably. But I've been rolling around in my brain this idea that Lambert is a very uptight people pleaser and anxious workaholic, but Narinder, at least since adjusting himself to the circumstances (which probably took at least a century, maybe two) has discovered the joys of self care, and has made an active effort to chill tf out. This has not made him any less terrifying to the cultists (save for Lambert's closest disciples), nor has it made him friendlier to really anyone but Lambert (and maybe his siblings), but he sure has found some serious peace of mind. That said, I can't place what his motivations are here. Perhaps he is secretly concerned about Lambert's sanity, because he doesn't want them to turn into what he was, or maybe he's just trying to steal away some quality time with his one and only friend, but regardless of the reason, I spent too much time on this for nobody to see it, dang it.

That said. Enjoy this silly little comic that I spent way too much time on, and I hope this silly comic brings you some joy today.

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.

if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]

even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.

it’s like do they think there’s some sort of time cap on how long u can spend in a certain reality before u get magically catapulted back to ur OR 😭

I will never understand how people can "not believe" in permashifting

It's so weird for me when someone says that. Like it's literally just shifting but permamently, staying in IR longer than others do? What is here to not believe😭 for me it's just kinda saying you dont believe in shifting itself, does anyone get me??
