Sometimes, we all need to hear this. Success, a small victory, is not the conclusion of the journey. And failure is not the fatal abrupt end of it.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Me with my fantasy novel lmaooo
I wuv this
If I had a nickel for every time an ethereal being realized they're in love with the person they've been dating for centuries but still refuse to acknowledge as their friend, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that Neil Gaiman did it twice.
Every once in a while, it’s my duty to remind you that if the guards in Merlin actually did their jobs, half the assassination attempts wouldn’t have happened (which means half the series’ episodes wouldn’t have happened). These guys literally just stand there and do nothing, they just let anyone come and go.
Atrocities
In a world full of humans that consider themselves the superior beings, there is no question about who the beasts are. It is not animals that torture each other because they want to. The lion is not cruel for hunting a zebra to feed.
There is nothing on Earth capable of cruelty. Except humans.

I think there’s no one unaware of what is happening in Gaza right now, in Palestine. What started in 1948.
I’ve been aware of the war going on in Palestine for years.
I find it baffling how so many are finding out about this only now, when the corpses of the dead are sky high, when so many are lost and can never go home now.
How dare the world make promises like ‘never again’? How dare the world make promises and once again stand still, as genocides take place? How dare you stand there and look away? How dare you stay quiet?
How can you stay quiet?
I find it horrifying and heartbreaking. I find it even more atrocious that the people doing this should be people who understand what genocide is like.
How can they go ahead and do what was done to them, to others? What about ‘treat others like you want to be treated’? Has that phrase never mattered at all?
I do not understand.
I do not understand.
I cannot understand.
I cannot condone.
Why? How? How can your heart and your mind and your conciousness condone this? How can people who suffered through genocide do this others? How can you possibly try to justify this?
Nothing justifies the killing of innocents. Nothing. Nothing justifies this violence and crimes against humanity. Nothing ever has, nothing ever will. Nothing justifies the atrocities of WW2, nothing justifies this either. I cried when as a child I learned about the Holocaust. I cry now with the people of Palestine, for them.
Are we, quite literally, the only species on Earth that does not learn from its mistakes?
If a young bunny steps into a trap, it’ll come to know pain but survive. The next time it comes into contact with a hunter trap, it will jump aside.
Animals learn. Nature learns.
Why can’t humans? We are the one species that doesn’t follow the natural balance of the world. Do we even belong here? What kind of monsters are we, to repeat the same mistakes over and over and over and over?
Do not stay quiet. Use your voice, speak out for those that can’t.
Above all, remember empathy, remember compassion, remember love.
Drop aside hate and bias, prejudice and stereotypes, racism and xenophobia, revenge and resentment.
Nothing justifies this. Nothing. Look upon what’s happening with your own eyes and ask yourself:
Why can I live but they can’t?
We’re all human. Aren’t we?
There’s not a day that I don’t think about the genocide happening in Palestine. I mourn and grieve for the dead, with all those suffering.

Study of a white heron for homework. We have been asked in design class to study an animal and a plant and create a hybrid of both. I think I chose a good combination 😉.

I just finished Wednesday and I just wanted to share some opinions, My first and this is not even an opinion it’s a fact, Thing is the best character in the whole fucking show. Fight me idc. Opinion two, I think aromatic Wednesday would be literally amazing (or if Enid and Wednesday got together). I just don’t like any of the love interests, the chemistry is just not there. My third and final opinion is that Wednesday outfits slay so mf hard. Anyways that’s it, I love this show.🫶🏽
I made this today. At the beginning I wasn’t sure if I should color it and what to use if I did and I just sort of ended up experimenting with my crayola and complimentary colors.
I unexpectedly don’t hate it.
P.S: yes, I did make this sketchbook. I used some random colored paper I had and stacked them in order and sewed the whole thing with copic stitch (the covers were made from an old plastic folder I never used).
Yes, I do love sketching on colored paper. It gives it a certain 😤 hmph ✨✨✨ you know?

A commission for a friend. An album/single cover for a song he made with other people from college.
I’m super proud of this one. I think I’m getting better at drawing actual backgrounds. The radio could look way better though :/
I still love the colors though ;b
