trope i really like is self-loathing characters desperate for the catharsis of punishment for frankly rather selfish reasons who r also obsessed with repeatedly pressing others into hating them and hurting them as essentially a method of self harm. yes baby continue making it worse for urself and everybody around u instead of doing an actually productive and effective journey of improvement

you don't know this little bebe, but I would be glad to introduce him to you soon. I think you'll like this dandelion boy. Especially since he was inspired by the Collector đđ
Now a portion of my whinings
Lev wanted to start the new year with a full-rendered complex piece with background and stuff, and right at that moment she caught a cold, her period started, and knee pain fell on her. And she was squeezing this art for 4 days in a row, suffering
Worth it đ
Risky. Risky after a break to return to the blog with a full ass illustration, which often don't get much unlike sketches and comics, but moreover it is also an unfamiliar story to you. but I am well aware of these risks, I take them all on myself
Still worth it đđ
This year I will strive to draw at least one full illustration every month. I want to make a sick portfolio and also do a regular practice!
In my summary, I complained about how little blue art I had last year. Well, look at me go, starting the year with the bluest art possible ehehehehehe

Harley scares Pierre. person never specified in what way, leaving it up to me, so I decided to finally use my headcanon on Harley having hypermobility :>
So this was a pre-planned (and likely paid for by the Kremlin) show: to invite Zelenskyy, scold him like a kindergartener in front of the press, present him with an unreasonable "deal" - an ultimatum - knowing full well he will refuse it (as anyone in this position would). And then tell the world: "Look, our mighty Orange King could've ended this horrible war in a day, but this poorly-dressed, warmongering, ungrateful twat just doesn't want peace! It's not our fault, we did what we could!"
The show is so cheap, so transparent, yet still effective for so many brainless people.
Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire
Hey, take it from someone creeping towards 40:
Ignore the fun police.
If you like it, order your steak well done. Get your bagel toasted with jam and butter. Put ice in your scotch and ketchup on your hotdog. Get red wine with fish and white with steak. Who cares?
If you want to, listen to pop music. Watch blockbuster popcorn flicks. Read dime store novels. Enjoy them.
Dye your hair or cut it off. Paint your fingernails blue. Wear whatever the fuck you want on your own time (ie, when not at a job or school or whatever where you can get penalized for breaking rules) as long as you arenât like welding or shoveling snow.
Anyone who tries to tell you youâre wrong? Say âokayâ and go back to what you were doing. Youâre not hurting them by enjoying yourself or having things the way you like them.
There are no caveats or addendums to this. No âbut what about x?â Nah. Youâre allowed the things you like. You donât have to justify your taste or apologize for it if itâs not hurting anyone.
And likewise, let other people live their lives. Weâre all dead in the long run, so tend your own garden before you become fertilizer in it.
fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very âI love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heartâ
Hey students, hereâs a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while youâre seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with âdear hello, I am sick and not sure if Iâll be alive to come tomorrow and Iâm sorry, best slutantions, [name]â.
Happiness Will Come To You.
the assholes of the current admin removed the incredible, thorough, scholarly research study that was sponsored by the NPS about LGBTQ+ life in America and American LGBTQ+ history from the NPS website. Suspecting that they would, in fact do this, I downloaded a copy of it, which you can now find (and download) here.
Fuck them for deleting this important piece of scholarly research and writing about LGBTQ+ history in America. We're here and we're queer (as in fuck you). We have ALWAYS been here and no matter what they do, they can't change that.
This is an interesting thing. Looks like testimonies of people who left the MAGA movement- how they got into it and why.
Leaving a cult is really hard, so I really respect the people who are speaking from this place.
After years of living in the adulting world, I think Iâve come to a realization: Manners exist to guide you to good conduct even when youâre in a bad mood.
When youâre happy, when youâre feeling generous, when youâre pleased with your gift or your service or your outcome, itâs easy to be nice. Itâs easy to tip the waiter well when youâve had a good day. Itâs easy to thank the teller or the clerk when you got what you wanted out of the transaction. Itâs easy to smile and chit-chat with strangers on the road when youâre in a good mood.
Itâs hard to tip the waiter when you didnât enjoy your food. Itâs hard to thank the clerk for their time when youâve just been told thereâs a problem with their account and they werenât able to fix it for you. Itâs hard to think of something nice to say when your aunt gave you a crappy sweater you neither need nor want. Itâs hard to be nice to people when youâve had a shitty day. Itâs HARD.
Thatâs what manners are for. Scripts and phrases that you learn by rote to say when you canât think of a single nice or good thing to say from your own volition. Yes, theyâre scripted. Yes, the sentiment is empty. But the scripts work in every situation, and the emptiness provides a buffer between your own unhappiness and the rest of society.
Because most of the time, itâs not the waiterâs fault that the food you ordered wasnât what you expected. Itâs not the clerkâs fault that your account is overdrawn. Itâs not the fault of the barista or the stranger on the subway that you got fired today or your favorite aunt died. But even when you canât summon a smile or a cheery word, you can still have manners, because they will serve you the same in sunshine or rain.
I really love your Poppy playtime children art, are you going to do the others as well because I would love to see Marie, Theodore, and Riley as well
Sure! :)
You can't keep them all safe, they will die and be afraid, tell me, so I say
Poppy, tell me you will stay
Where have you buried all the children?

First of all, WOOHOO a tweet about Sailor Moon got almost 200k likes!
Secondly, YES this is an aspect of Sailor Moon that I've always loved but hesitated to voice just because I don't want to be mistaken for a creep, lol. Both the anime and manga/Crystal reboot utilize nudity not only in an artistic sense, but as a way to represent a character being stripped down to their truest self, the essence of their very soul.
In fact, in the manga, characters in dreams, visions, or in the space between life and death (among other situations) are shown to be entirely naked or are depicted with clothes that seamlessly blend into their bodies.
And of course, the finale of the final arc has Usagi saving the day not through a last-minute power-up form, but by stripping down to her purest, truest self:
Sailor Moon has so many great examples of non-sexual artistic nudity and I hate when people are too immature to see what Naoko Takeuchi was going for.
I also love how, at the same time, Naoko doesn't portray sexuality/sex as something dirty and impure. I've said this before, but in the manga Usagi is heavily implied to be sexually active with Mamoru (in fact, it's outright stated that she's already pregnant with Chibiusa on their wedding day), but in no way does that diminish her role as the purest being in the universe and the star that shines the brightest.
I will keep screaming this into the void forever: Naoko Takeuchi and Sailor Moon really were ahead of their time, and that's why the series still resonates with so many people today.

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!
this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).
pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.
