I’m So Glad Earth Only Has One Moon, If There Were More I’d Have To Pick A Favorite And That Sounds

Classic cartoons have been running through my mind lately

Mostly these guys! I love them so very much

Once a little boy went to school. One morning The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. He liked to make all kinds; Lions and tigers, Chickens and cows, Trains and boats; And he took out his box of crayons And began to draw.

But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make flowers.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make beautiful ones With his pink and orange and blue crayons. But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And it was red, with a green stem. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”

The little boy looked at his teacher’s flower Then he looked at his own flower. He liked his flower better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just turned his paper over, And made a flower like the teacher’s. It was red, with a green stem.

On another day The teacher said: “Today we are going to make something with clay.” “Good!” thought the little boy; He liked clay. He could make all kinds of things with clay: Snakes and snowmen, Elephants and mice, Cars and trucks And he began to pull and pinch His ball of clay.

But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make a dish.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make dishes. And he began to make some That were all shapes and sizes.

But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And she showed everyone how to make One deep dish. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”

The little boy looked at the teacher’s dish; Then he looked at his own. He liked his better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again And made a dish like the teacher’s. It was a deep dish.

And pretty soon The little boy learned to wait, And to watch And to make things just like the teacher. And pretty soon He didn’t make things of his own anymore.

Then it happened That the little boy and his family Moved to another house, In another city, And the little boy Had to go to another school.

The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. And he waited for the teacher To tell what to do. But the teacher didn’t say anything. She just walked around the room.

When she came to the little boy She asked, “Don’t you want to make a picture?” “Yes,” said the little boy. “What are we going to make?” “I don’t know until you make it,” said the teacher. “How shall I make it?” asked the little boy. “Why, anyway you like,” said the teacher. “And any color?” asked the little boy. “Any color,” said the teacher. And he began to make a red flower with a green stem.

I’m not even exaggerating I literally think about the anonymous person who donated €1,000 to Nader’s campaign every single day. i’ll be at work making a cocktail and suddenly remember the person who donated €1,000 to his campaign to save his family. idk who you are but I love you thank you

while I’m on the topic you should donate to my friend Nader @abdalsalam1990’s campaign. He’s a 17 year old boy who’s trying to raise money for his family in gaza, including his father who needs cancer treatment and his 1 year old niece so they can survive the genocide in Gaza

DONATION LINK + VETTING (#4 on the spreadsheet)

I spent like 5 hours editing this gif frame by frame to make this shitty edit that I wanted to exist

I really want to see you draw shellington with the Vegimals aka his kids and everyone's first reactions to the Vegimals!

Note: Peso isn’t here because this all takes place before he joined

When the Vegimals first hatched, Shellington was astonished by these fascinating creatures.

And then reality set in

How was he going to tell the rest of the crew?

On top of this now he had to take care of these little guys. Give them names, feed them, ect.

Welcome to parenthood Shellington

He was nervous about the crew getting scared, or worse wanting the Vegimals to be released back into the ocean, so he kept his care for them a secret. (Although he wasn’t particularly subtle)

Soon Captain Barnacles noticed how sluggish and overworked Shellington had become and decided to check on him, only to be met with a small little creature thrusted into his arms by Shellington.

The lab was in total chaos and Shellington wasn’t looking too well.

Even with a very brief explanation from Shellington, the Captain could see how exhausted he was. And the Vegimals didn’t seem dangerous, just a bit of a handful.

So he made the decision to brief in the other Octonauts.

They were all shocked by the Vegimals, and had so many questions.

But Captain Barnacles made it very clear the main priority was to help Shellington. Luckily, Inkling found a few baby books in his big library.

They all joined Shellington in the lab bringing fish biscuit formula, blankets, Tweak had made little beds, Inkling brought a few books for Shellington, and they all stayed with him to help out with the Vegimals.

Shellington was very touched by his crew’s compassion, so much so he fell asleep.

The captain didn’t mind though, and they all kept watch over their new crew members while Shellington got some well overdue rest.

And by the time Peso joined, they Vegimals were very much a part of the crew, and he was briefed in about them and to not be startled by them.

HELL YEAH PRI(D(EMO)N)TH

tfw your friends take out the whimsy out of your idea

Grian in 2021: Let’s put my friends in a minecraft server with three lives and see who lasts longest :)

Grian in 2024: There is a snail following you constantly and if it touches you you die. It can’t be killed or stopped and it reflects damage and tnt back towards you. If you go too far away it teleports and it can burrow through blocks and fly using a propeller. Good luck.

Decided to redraw that lovely Bill Cipher Circle (does it have a proper name?) to act as a cover image for my Bill Cipher playlist…
