something that drives me insane on a relatively regular basis as a body jewelry understander is talking to people who have sensitive skin who are like "oh well I just can't wear any earrings without my ears getting inflamed" and I say "well what have you tried" and they say "well I've tried sterling silver and I've tried gold..." and it's like. ok. I don't know how gold and sterling somehow got spun by the jewelry industry as being especially good for sensitive skin but whenever I'm like "well have you tried implant grade titanium" they're always like "no....... but I've tried sterling silver... and it didn't work ..." like. I don't know how this narrative about sterling silver somehow got so strong but when they put pins in your fucking legs when you snap your leg in half are those pins made of sterling silver or are they made of implant grade titanium or surgical steel????????? HELLO. HI. YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM TRYING IMPLANT GRADE TITANIUM I AM JUST SAYING
#if I have had this conversation with you. I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at whoever lied to you about various metals.#look I completely understand if your body happens to think that your piercing is an open wound for two decades#I have been there.#and I promise you the answer. is implant grade titanium.#there are many solutions to this problem one of them is implant grade titanium the other is surgical steel sometimes.#the other is sometimes if you can stretch the piercing to like... 10g#you can put a surgical grade silicone sleeve in there and then you can use cheaper metals for earrings#because they will not be touching your flesh they will be touching the silicone sleeve.#anyway the point is#someone should pay me to be some sort of piercing advisor.#there has been a lot of progress made in the area of body safe metals in the last 50 years is the thing#and we are fortunate enough to live now and not 50 years ago.#the mainstream jewelry industry has not exactly caught up with this.

#selfie bee#good evening friends!! how are you doing! C:#I'm very very sleepy I got a new ikea office chair and I build it all myself#I think it went okay! I don't think I pulled the back screw tight enough and now the back is a bit loose#I can probably fix it but I can also ignore it for the next 18 years#thats how long the old chair held up!! in germany it could now drink vodka and drive a car!!#not at the same time that is illegal! not at the same time!! (āĀ“ā½`ā)*ā²ļ¾*#but the day is not over yet my uncle asked me for a big art quest and I do not want to disappoint#he wants a muppet tattoo and asked me to draw it#my uncle has started to get tattoos a few months ago#as far as I know he has now gotten 3 note clefs 3 stars a flower and multiple birds#he also started getting piercings but so far I managed not to know exactly where#I think tattoos are super cool (Ā“ļ½”ļ½„vļ½„ļ½”ļ½) I wish I had a good idea for a tattoo but the last time I was very sure about getting a tattoo#it was heath ledgers face as the joker#at that point I was 12 and would not see the actual movie for two more years#a muppet tattoo is a way better idea!! he asked for the count van count! that is also one of my top 3 muppets āÕāā²įµāµą„āāā”#I always thought I knew a lot about muppet lore but since I started looking up muppet pictures I think there are still a lot of secrets#can the muppets from the Sesame Street actually leave the Sesame Street?#I think Kermit is both on the Muppet Show and on Sesame Street but he is also like the boss muppet#he might have special abilities#I hope you're having a good day friends!!

I was hitting some art block so I felt like drawing some fanart of @abd-illustratesā Heartless characters!
I realized I never actually watched the final installment of the Concept Corner series, so thatās what I had playing when sketching these. Itās just so fun listening to the brainstorming and cool character connections
#my art#ABD Heartless#Heartless#Heartless fanart#I donāt know anything about communities so Iām just posting this like normalā¦?#hope thatās okay#I actually drew Flint and Alchemy like. years ago so Iām happy to draw them again#watching the vid and rewatching the redesigns of the protags was lowkey nostalgic!#Alex you for real taught me how to draw shoes haha#also#itās been so long since Iāve been in a flow state this was a blessing#it was very refreshing to draw new faces#I love these guys#especially Flintā¦#maybe Iāll do more sketches and get in Dock and Heartless and stuff#weāll see!#Flint Solveig#Eira Hale#Lance Lothaire#Alchemy#River Dial#oh yeah Riverās training outfit was SO CUTE I had to draw it#Lorelei lāAngenue#Bandy Bellamis#also when I saw Bandyās hair I was like. I canāt NOT draw that too#OUGH I did get too excited with those last two tho and I didnāt properly look at their designs#sorry bout that#but these were so fun fr#I enjoyed drawing them a lot

i just cannot get over the raven cycle characterās abilities just being an expression of the way they love:
blue loving through physical touch, anchoring and empowering the people she loves through her closeness, but also regaining her energy through touch
gansey loving through words of affirmation, and using his words to make people listen and feel appreciated, but also needing reassurance from the people he loves
ronan loving through gift giving, dreaming being his literal expression of love seen through the hand lotion/epi pens/eco camaro
adam loving through acts of services, literally sacrificing himself to a forest to save gansey but rejecting any help because he is afraid to be be loved and to be vulnerable
and noah, who loved through quality time, and spent the little time/parts of himself he had left to be with the people he really needed, and to give gansey the one thing he never got
#actually my favourite detail of the raven cycle i geek out over it#i made a tiktok about this years ago but it got like two likes lmao#the raven cycle#richard gansey#blue sargent#adam parrish#ronan lynch#noah czerny#trc

what's worse -- feeling the depths of your desire for the first time, or having all your closest friends around to witness it?
prints ā£ļø song
#dungeon meshi#marcille has always been ambitious but up until this point she's primarily driven by fear#desire for desire's sake is a new concept for her (after 50 years!!) and it totally overwhelms her#she is so beloved for that.#ryoko. kui. is. brilliant. I can't overstate that enough. and she's FUNNY about it too like??? girl#don't make me squawk laugh after I just burst into tears two pages ago. ms. kui you're too powerful#dungeon meshi spoilers#marcille donato#senshi#izutsumi#laios touden#chilchuck tims

hello thunderbee nation. don't worry guys they are totally enemies... totally....
#transfomers#thunderbee#tf bumblebee#tf thundercracker#bumblebee#thundercracker#transformers idw#fanart#art stuffs#maccadam#nothing more motivating than going into thunderbee search and seeing my old art from a year and half ago still near the top.#i didnt realize we were starved like that#i could write essays about these two. they are so interesting#they are so good for each other but their circumstances and ideologies means that at this place. at this time. they aren't quite right#or something. or whatever. i can never quite conceptualize them exactly how I want to

#It's WILD to me that she's listed as polish/french when poland was part of the russian empire...#...but if it's a UKRAINIAN who was born when THAT country was part of the russian empire...#...then they're listed as 'russian but born in modern-day Ukraine'#shout out to the wikipedia editors for 'russian artist from ukraine'. hmmm. I wonder if there's a word for that.#no shade to poland; I'm sure many of the english language wikipedia editors didn't learn about ukraine until two years ago#anyway happy birthday to a slav icon#maria skÅodowska curie#marie curie

I love you messy artstyle i love you visible brush strokes I love you textures and rough edges I love you imperfections I love you roughness and colour blobs I love you scratchy sketches and bold stylisation and dirt and imperfections I love you ugly and raw emotion!!!!! ā¤ļø
#i talk sometimes#art talk#i made a tweet like this on twatter ages ago but i've been feeling this a lot lately#also this is the start of me writing more on this blog and not only using it as art because who cares!! i don't!!#I wanna translate raw emotion into colors and shapes. I wanna know where to ignore all details and where to go ham you feel me?#i used to dream about developing a style like for MtG where it looked like a masterful oil painting that oozes realism and details#and i've realised the last two years or so that I would actually hate that for me. I know I wouldn't enjoy doing it. For myself.#it's that pipeline from wanting to be the perfect realistic wotc artist to accepting that I will never be that#instead i wanna learn how to stylise better and get a good brush economy going yknow. I wanna be bolder.#i doubt i'll ever be as incredible as all these MtG artists no matter what anyone says. but it's ok!! i don't have to be!!!#i just luv art man!!

Ive always been bad about separating my pics with stripes#Of values ever since uni. It breaks the pic in two. Idk how to fix this except with more blending hatch lmao

ok I'm just gonna elaborate on my opinion that the remake of "Cloudyā¦with a chance of murder" is The Most Evil And Fucked Up Thing Psych Creators Could Ever Do Because Of The Bike Scene Removal y'all remember the "I've been thinking about getting a car" speech right. But let's take a step back and talk about the bike.
The bike symbolizes Shawn's freedom, independence, and in the "Cloudyā¦" it is implicitly taken by his own father ( which I'm letting go. for now), and in the end a bunch of people prepared to get it back for Shawn, but who gets there first? Lassiter. And it would be SO easy to play it off by having Lassie say something like "I got you your bike back so you could drive the fuck away from my police station", or "you helped me out before so I feel obligated to repay you, now we're even", but no. Lassie's reaction is genuine embarrassment when people found out he got the bike, because it was purely a nice gesture. A nice gesture for Shawn, whom he "hates". So what I'm saying is. metaphorically. Lassiter gives Shawn back all the independence and freedom, because despite all Shawn's antics, he sees him and accepts him for who he is, with all his bullshit, doesn't fall for his lies and literally embraces the deception and rolls with it for eight more seasons, with occasional Gotta Call Him On His Bullshit To Keep Him In Shape. This scene encapsulates the progress of the dynamic between Lassie and Shawn and it's the foundation for their future relationship, where they know they can trust and rely on each other, despite everything. So again, removing it in the remake was a literal crime against humanity and me specifically because it basically erases part of Lassie's character
#psych#psych tv#I'm gonna write a whole ass scientific paper about the significance of transport in psych i swear to god#bc obviously we have the blueberry that's tied to gus#and we have the car that shawn stole#WHICH ALSO THE CAR THAT INDIRECTLY WAS THE REASON LASSIE AND SHAWN FIRST SAW EACH OTHER#and the thing about Shawn's monologue with jules. is that he does get a car#which is also the car that he stole all those years ago#which again#tied to his first meeting with Lassie THEY ARE MEANT TO BE-#anyway#that car can be! driven! by! two! people!#and of course he drives it with gus. of course#but who else also gets to be in the front sit?#SBPD chief Carlton J. Lassiter#they are DRIVING. TOGETHER. THE CAR. THAT SHAWN GOT. ALL THOSE YEARS GO. BUT āROADā IS LIFE. AND THEY`RE TOGETHER. DRIVING.#DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN. DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M GETTING AT#anyway im done. carlton and shawn are kismet in every conceivable way ty for coming to my ted talk

Losing my mind because I was looking at old wips and found these headshots of Arya and Nasuada from the Inheritance cycle that I made THREE years ago. I feel like my art in 2022 was peak and I really need to bring back that vibe omg. I swear I could not make these again today my style dumbed down sm
anyways where's my eragon fam at
no no i'm serious if you read these books you're legally obliged to tell me exactly who was your favorite character and why. and if it's not eragon well.... we are going to have some problems (jk please i'm begging let me know)
#my art#eragon#the inheritance cycle#arya#nasuada#you guys have no idea just how hardcore i was about these books 15 years ago#every year i promise to post all the characters in my style bc i used to draw them sm#and i have very vivid images of them in my mind and hoe i want them to look#like with these two it was so nice to finally draw them exactly how i imagined the first time they appeared in the books#anyways. goodnight

au where SQQ does undergo the 'qi-deviation' and is 'changed' but in reality the twin of Shen Jiu, Shen Yuan made a comment one day about how all Shen Jiu did was bitch about his martial siblings. Never one to turn down a golden opportunity,
Shen Jiu: bet
And so the twins decided to switch lives!
The qi-deviation is just so they can explain away any differences of temperament and so sj can hightail away easier.
Shen Yuan: this is going to be so easy
(spoiler. it wasn't)
Between useless sect meetings that could've been not even an email but a text message, reading fifteen different preteens attempts to sneak in dick jokes into their poetry assignments, the head cook alerting him to the fact that they've somehow run out of rice??? They're the greatest cultivation sect??? How does that happen???
Anyway, two of his Hall masters eloping together and taking an extended honeymoon (he's happy for them, but. Who's going to teach those classes now??? Him. Apparently.), sect politics and his 'martial siblings' barely even attempting a farce of civility or courtesy AND his guqin strings needing to be replaced and restrung ?
Shen Yuan is sorry ššplease come backššš
Cue the allotted period of switching ending and Shen Yuan dramatically throwing the fan on the ground as Shen Jiu rolls up and goes "thanks for the vacation didi"
#then it was shen yuan's turn to bitch about their martial siblings#all of cang qiong in the background:#we've been bamboozled#there are two funny thing you could do with yue qingyuan: one. he knew the whole time and totally went#āshould we check for possession by making Xiao 'jiu' drawing hong jing? of course. infact. we should use ALL of the possession detecting#artifacts we have. for safety purposes.ā#āsect leader why are you mailing a letter that says 'hope you're enjoying your vacation -love qi-ge'?ā#or two: he's fooled as well and just thinks he's projecting his desire to see the tiny xiao yuan who he and xiao jiu lost all those years#ago again. and that the grief of loosing shen yuan is what changed shen jiu into the man that he is today#so that maybe loosing his memories. also had him loose that grief. and that maybe underneath the weighty mould of the past. shen jiu and#xiao yuan really were alike after all#svsss#svsss au#svsss parent trap au?#shen yuan#shen qingqiu#shen jiu#original shen qingqiu#yue qingyuan#cang qiong#cang qiong mountain sect peak lords#realizing i forgot the second option was supposed to be funny#there are so many errors in my spelling and punctuation its not even funny. ignore it please i am procrastinating on stuff

Oh oof I slipped and hit them with dark and serious beam. š£
#connverse#Connie Maheswaran#Steven Quartz Universe#Steven Universe#This had been WIP for almost a year and has been edited a bit some days ago#I did not pick up on it now to see if I can edit further though. I'm just going to leave this at that#This was inspired by a dream I had about watching a post-apocalyptic(?) anime movie about two survivors going through their lives#Apologies if that one was yapped before in this blog. Trying to keep repeating statements already mentioned before is a habit I hope to avo#Anyway. It was almost a dialogue-less movie. actually not sure if the characters did say anything#The movie doesn't explain stuff to you. You just got dropped in a world and experience with the main characters for a few days#In the dream after watching that movie I went to Tumblr (naturally. Lol) and theories about it popped out#And there was a connverse cross-over fanart of it. Lmao#One of the main characters was EXTREMELY calm and stoic. And the connverse AU version of it was that's because Steven is in a comma and his#Pink mode activated as a defense mechanism against the creatures around while in such a state. š So Pink Steven from Change Your Mind#And like. Oh? What if he's conscious? He's just watching his body have a mind of it's own and he can't control it? That's kinda terrifying#And of course like most of my dreams about shows I enjoy. I woke up before I could dream more about it. šµ#my shiz#skedoobles#SU#SU AU#also implied Pink Steven I guess#pink Steven#I rage-stopped drawing this because I know what needed to be fixing but the fixing I've been doing isn't fixing it. Lol#I'm specially frustrated with Connie's bangs and eyes. And like. Man. I'm just going to stop it right there before I make it worse.#It does make sense she has a bad haircut given the dream's setting. But it was not decided that was exactly what this drawing is about.#Also I'd imagine Steven to be having a full beard if that was the case.#Anyway enough yapping I have to get some sleep. Lol#Ohmygod just realizeddd. the in-dream movie sounded like I was describing 'Angel's Egg' jshsjajdbdjfbskkd Haven't seen that film in a while#My dream's movie had a Studio Ghibli artstyle and pretty colorful. But I would actually really like the somber vibes in Angel's Egg#for this AU though. š¤š¤©š¤©
