#and holiday gifts to make

[meggie-moo]

i have so much drawing to do, but also…i need to read. i now have time off which means i cannot pick my hobbies

#meg’s incoherent thoughts #LIKE I HAVE SO MANG WHAT SHOULD I DI #DO #i have shows i need to binge so i can get to the christmas episodes #i need to continue learning to drive #i have so many things i want to bake #and holiday gifts to make #i’m rhyming in here like dr seus up in this bitch

oh right, technically i sell t-shirts

i forgot about that

#holidays are coming up and it would make a terrible gift #that's the main selling point #anyways these exist and can be exchanged for legal tender #the cost is the listed price + the emotional expense of knowing that i am judging u #bc i am. i am judging u #why would u want this. why would u exchange currency for this #there are so many other things you could exchnage currency for instead #a grocery store shrimp platter for instance #with the nauseatingly red cocktail sauce that is SO much better than a t shirt any time #hmm chicken picatta at a local Italian Eatery perchance? i am. a big fan of anything picatta #oh oh i know! 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH OKRA #FOR THE COST OF THIS FRIVOLOUS T SHIRT U COULD INSTEAD PURCHASE 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH DELICIOUS OKRA #and then --hold on i have a recipe--and then what u do is #so it is basically sacrilege to suggest this but what u do is u skip the cornmeal entirely #my southern ancestors are shaking a wooden spoon at me right now but LISTEN. u skip. the gotdang. cornmeal #instead: wash chop and soak (for 10 min) the okra in a mixture of 1 egg to tblsp water #then coat in flour #THATS IT JUST FLOUR #No cornmeal. i am betraying my heritage rn but I'm RIGHT #coat in flour sprinkle liberally in S&P and FRY that suck in veg oil high heat #until crispy & brown & u hear your arteries clenching in apprehension #so. so yeah #that's what u should do instead of buying this shirt go fry the shit out of some okra #(but buy local and young & tender if u can bc the grocery store is full of old-and-therefore-super-stiff specimens #pro tip (aka grandma tip): if u can't chop okra smoothly with your normal cutting knife then it's too old and tough. #...i mean u probably CAN still fry the shit out of it I've certainly done that before it's just much less delicious #ANYWAY. anyway ANYWAY. shirt. okra. farmers market. that reminds me of a post i made back when we first started selling these dang shorts #shirts. shorts shorts. oh shit i should make a crop top option. #i. i don't Know How to make a crop top option #HUH . . . i need to lie down now and contemplate the constant and irreconcilable limitations of the human experience good night

#loki #tom hiddleston #nasa #mcuedit #lokiedit #marveledit #loki spoilers #had this in my drafts for a couple days bc i keep coming to terms with the fact that tree references make me sad now lmao #but even then what beautiful a coincidence not to mention #the tree shape? loki's colors?? the two horns crowning the top the HEART OF GOLD 🤩😭 #space news is fascinating regardless then adding such a cool fandom link this time of year is kind of surreal #anyway loki's all festive in the stars in honor of mobius' first christmas on the timeline and that's what i'm sticking to #the gift of being seen again for a moment :')) #sending best wishes for everyone to have a lovely and happy holiday season 💖 #marvel #dianagifs

Reminder that around this time is when people start early-shopping for holiday gift-giving (for those who celebrate or their family celebrates) so if you're someone who's family/friends refuses to take 'no, dont get me a gift' as an answer then you need to start making a wishlist of things you actually want and can use.

Having an actaul list to whip out when someone asks is a perfectly acceptable response and preferred. Especially when Aunty Tiffany is gifting you feminine church clothes when you're t-masc and it's just going to sit there for months unused, or Grandpa gets you another one of those walmart spa kits when $10 of gas money would have been much more helpful.

A lot of gifts are often unwanted, sit there unused out of guilt or are thrown away. This will help YOU as much as it helps to cut back on waste. Most stores cannot put a lot of returned gifts back out on shelves, especially holiday-themed ones. Holidays are one of the most wasteful times of the year.

I have some posts about dumpster diving and waste and talking about how you should donate unwanted gifts but seriously pls pls pls make a list. It does not have to be expensive or extravagant, it just needs to be something you know you will use. Put some $5 cute pens on there with the bunnies at the end or something.

#i used to hate making lists because i felt so guilty but then it just got worse because i was still gifted things that i never used #and it was so wasteful #and then i started like putting stuff like pens and paper and a gas card or a new pillow and suddenly its not wasteful anymore #sara shush #holidays #christmas

#i hope this is readable lol #deltarune #susie #noelle holiday #suselle #art tag #man i had a whole thing to type up here and now i forget most of it. ummm #basically ive been thinkin about suselle with the new info we got from the sweepstakes #specifically from noelle's perspective. because up until chapter 2 she wants susie but she doesnt KNOW susie #its an extremely shallow crush which is normal for teenagers but what makes it interesting to me is #how noelle sort of seems more attracted to the danger susie poses than susie herself #and she doesnt really make an attempt to get to know susie personally until ch 2? iirc? #and before that almost seems to hope that susie will treat her as badly as she treats kris #and you could argue whether its bc of noelle's psychological problems or if its just. yknow. a fantasy #either way my point is shes not really thinking about susies feelings. shes not trying to reform the bully or something #so consider this little lyric comic as taking place in noelle's fantasies pre-ch1 #BUT #all that said it doesnt mean noelle isnt open to getting to know susie. obviously #when she sees an opportunity noelle does reach out and not in a way where shes trying to provoke susie to hurt or threaten her #she gives susie a gift and invites her to study together. not to mention the whole ferris wheel thing #i actually think noelle didnt even consider that as an option until susie and kris became friends #and even after chapter 2 noelle doesnt really know susie all that well. and to her susie still exists mostly in the realm of fantasy #but its a start. and they have so much more room to grow and understand each other better #plus susie clearly already cares a lot about noelle #moral of the story is suselle is more compelling than just 'shy girl plus mean girl' #and i like it #good night

So it was established in the last episode that Taylor still believes in Santa (tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it's come up prior to this ep too but anyways-) so... Do you think (saint) Nicky been has portalling in every year since the betrayal to sneak in a gift for his son amongst the pile? That Cassandra doesn't even notice because it's just one among the many many presents she herself has bought and wrapped? But every year without fail... Taylor gets one gift that simply says "from: Nick" and well, obviously that has to mean it's from Santa (a conclusion which Nicky expects him to come to, and why he can sign his name at all, though he misses when he could just write "dad"). And one year when he's still quite young, a sleepy little Taylor actually catches Nicky in the act, and Nicky wishes more than anything that he could just *stay*, but instead he only softly tells Taylor to go back to bed, and Taylor thinks that Santa is a lot younger and a bit sadder than he expected, but what's he gonna do- not listen to Santa Claus? So he smiles meekly at the man he does not know to be his father, and hurriedly heads back to his room.

Also yes of course Nicky eats the fucking cookies left out of course he's not gonna pass up on free cookies (which are home-baked to top it off) come on that's a given.

#at my conspiracy board like ''he sees you when you're sleeping... he knows when you're awake- just like Nicky watching Taylor from Hell!'' #dndads #dungeons and daddies #nick foster #I'm sure I mustn't be the only person who's proposed a headcanon to this effect but anyways in light of recent events! #and Taylor asks Nicky what kind of cookies he likes and Nicky says ''oatmeal raisin'' and Taylor says ''gross'' #but insists on putting those ones out next year and every year after that #nicky freeman #taylor swift dndads #highkey knowing Nicky and the dumbass shenanigans he gets wrapped up in he would do something to accidentally become the real santa claus #like he shows up to the wrong house one year and gets spotted #so then in his mind he has to show up to *both* houses next year #but then the kid from the other house tells all their friends #and what is he gonna do- not get gifts for all of them too? that wouldn't be fair. #you see where I'm going with this? #dndads holiday special starring Nicky in the tale of how he became saint nick #I won't lie to you folks the Closes and Swifts are basically the only reason I care at all about this holiday haha #(though happy holidays to all of you celebrating- whatever you're celebrating!) #''but you're hosting a holiday event!'' YEAH AND LOOK WHO IT'S FOR LOL #(back at my conspiracy board) santa... is just an anagram for satan... it all makes sense!

i just. wanted to draw them kissin'. so here's a modern au mistletoe thing. :') happy december!!! also i think shanks would look amazing in a cream-coloured cable-knit. 😌💞

#one piece #one piece fanart #mishanks #akataka #dracule mihawk #akagami no shanks #shanks #red hair shanks #op fanart #btw the song for this is 'cold december night' by michael bublé!!!!!! #i think it'd be a really good mishanks holiday song abt them having missed the timing to be together when they were in college #but they get brought back into each others' orbits decades later bc their kids are besties and so now shanks finds himself #about to head to a series of parties with the guy that was the one that got away and mihawk is STILL hot and he is STILL SINGLE!!!! #there's a running thing where mihawk always makes sure he buys gifts for everyone who attends and he asks shanks what he wants #and shanks doesnt really answer him till it's christmas even and theyre having a warm intimate convo in front of the fire #and shanks confesses like 'i just want u to fall in love with me for christmas' #(little does he know mihawk never stopped being in love with him too!!!!!) #i digress

I know a sorta made a small post along these lines the other day, but something a lil more official of!!

im kinda broke rn, between the recent stuff with losing my car and having to get a new one and work literally scheduling me 13 hrs a week. Im slowly losing money and it got really bad this month after paying my bills and everything and realizing I had just 300 bucks in my bank account.

My current job hasn't been working with me to give me the hours i need to make a living wage and iv been trying to get a new job for months with no success and it's looking like i could really use a lil extra support via online commission work rn until I can land a more solid paying job. I really hate to sound like a desperate wet cardboard box beast but I still need to insure my new car and cant afford it as i stand right now.

I wont ask for donations, I think im going to be fine, but a lil money to help keep my head above the water would be great so im just gonna promo my commission work. To anyone who can commission me in some way or another would be awesome! I appreciate any support I can get rn even just a reblog

#again sorry for sounding like im crying wolf with 200 in my account but i havent bought groceries this month #or my car insurance #im waiting for my next paycheck #so i kinda know its about to get sucked down the drain #i still havent bought christmas gifts for my brother and the cousins which i would really like to be able to if i could #again im not gonna die #so im not asking for donations #i will be fine #im just a lil money stressed and if i could branch out to try and get some commission work rn that would be a huge help #again im not asking for donations #there defiantly ppl who need it more than me #but if you were everythinkin to commission me and have the funds rn #i wouldnt mind if you reached out #i know its the holidays and everyone is probably low on funds #i see the situation as it is rn #but if i could just make an extra hundred or two i think it put my mind at ease a lil more for when its time to pay all my bills again

The moment there is a bit of cool weather where I live, all I can think about is rumbelle. I've been thinking alot about Lacey too so here are a few of the sketches I've done :)

#rumbelle #ouat #golden lace #mr. gold #rumplestiltskin #belle ouat #lacey french #lacey x gold #my art #my fanart #digital art #A day of cold weather after all this heat and I'm thrown back to late August/September of 2013 #I've just watched OUAT and I am heading to my first year of college and the other first year girls are just as nervous but they're nice #and some watched OUAT and when season 3 started that September we huddled on the couch and watched the episodes as they aired #the cold makes me remember that first year watching OUAT in the dorms with those girls and how cold it could get in winter #after the first year we mostly went separate ways-not for any bad reason just naturally. I have such good memories of those girls though #we celebrated birthdays and holidays together-I still have the shirt of Captain Hook they gifted me #I hope they're happy wherever they are #I found OUAT and Rumbelle when I was discovering myself #those first three seasons hold such nostalgia and magic for me #on another note #Lacey was such an interesting character that I wish they did a little more with #I've been sketching some things out and little doodles about her #like who were her friends? who did she talk to? what are some subtle similarities to Belle but the curse distorted? #I can't imagine having someone look at me but want someone else and other people in town say who you are is wrong/incorrect #I've just been thinking about Lacey bristling at the thought and I remember feeling a little bad that no one really wanted her but Belle #and what about intimacy? perhaps Belle's and Lacey's preferences could be similar but Lacey is more overt about it #anyways just some things I've been thinking about lately :) #I couldn't decide with the golden lace pic if there should be lipstick stains or not so here's both :) #used refs for some posing and hand gestures

#käärijä #shirtlessradfahrer #my art #i’ve sufficiently stared at these until I hated them #which means it’s time to post #they were supposed to be quick scribbly doodles anyway but then I got carried away #i want him to bring back that white fishnet shirt from that old photo #idk where to find it i just remember he's crouching and making a cute face and still has the white nails 🥴 #anyway happy holidays #i didn't do secret santa so consider this my gift to all of you #just don't stare at the second one too long because the perspective is wack and i'm too tired to fix it #or maybe do stare #but only at one particular spot

Working on cross stitch holiday gifts, here’s a wip of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt! The cross stitch pattern is from AwesomePatternStudio on Etsy ☺️

The original painting for reference:

#cross stitch #wip #embroidery #gustav klimt #the kiss #making good progress! #I love all the colors in the pattern! #also the adaptation of the painting is so good with the shapes and everything #I have to put down Clive for a while until the holiday gifts are done haha
