Smoking cigarettes is bad for your health. Smoking green paint made of arsenic is worse~

More shenanigans involving Dante, a character from my wip illustrated novel about 19th century artists. Back then, most paints are made of highly toxic ingredients such as lead, mercury, and arsenic (for the the infamous color: Paris Green).

If you genuinely enjoy being alone, do you ever wonder if it is an inherent part of your character or if it stems from feeling inescapably lonely in the first place until you taught yourself to enjoy the peace and happiness one can find in solitude? what if the reason you now prefer & choose solitude at every turn is because you were a very lonely child, or teenager, not by your own choice, and that’s how you learnt to thrive and grow, so you no longer know if you can do that around people? There might also be an element of personal pride, an unconscious “you can’t fire me I quit” point when your brain decided to switch your feelings about solitude from distress to relief. I often find myself defending my love of being alone, to people who worry that I can’t possibly be happy to live in an isolated house in the woods; I insist that I do! I really do specifically enjoy the isolated factor and chose to live here because of it, but then I wonder how to differentiate an ingrained love of solitude from an acquired ability to thrive off unchosen loneliness, to learn from it and be nourished by it; to what extent it might be a form of contentment built on a bedrock of resignation.

Blackwater Dive

2024, hand bleached and dyed denim, cotton batting and thread

inspired by blackwater photography of plankton! this was my first time layering bleach painting. All the silhouettes were painted with bleaching gel, loosely tie dyed, and then bleached again to make the highlights. I quilted the piece using my free motion foot to outline each individual animal and tacked down the rest of the quilt with small satin stitches that remind me of marine snow. I dyed bias tape to match. super happy with this one and excited to show it in a gallery setting soon!

I am a Mhin simp till the end of days but the potential for most angsty love story is with Leander.

Picture this: You're an outlaw. Always had to go without. Always had to fight. Your closest friend betrays you.

Now more penniless and alone than ever, you face death with nothing but regret.

Only you don't die. You wake up on a strange place in a strange bed. You're being tended to by ab even stranger man, who sends you to a fishy bar.

There you meat a familiar group of rascals. The kind you used to be around. You meet their leader too.

A charismatic man (they always are) who acts very friendly (they always do). He says he can handle your curse.

You don't believe him.He proves you wrong. It changes your life.

Now, you should know better than to fall for a pretty face and smooth talk. You've been burned before, not so long ago as a matter of fact.

But... you've never been held like that. Touched like that. Seen like that.

When was the last time you gave everything of yourself, without withholding anything? When was the last time you were cared for so well?

Can you really be blamed if you wanted to believe it was real and sincere, despite all the warnings, despite your own experience?

Leander loves you too. Of course he does. That's what makes it so difficult.

That's what will make the knife in your back hurt so much more. That's what makes it painful for the both of you.

I think you both knew this was a lie. He gave you the illusion because he loves you. Because (if the undead Leander theory is true) he will love you for a long time.It's proof that he is alive.

You believe it because you need to. And because you got to see him without the facade and loved him anyway.

You knew each other fully and chose to stay.

Here is the kicker: you loved him too much to save yourself but he didn't love you enough to save you from himself.

But you both knew that going into it. It doesn't make it any less beautiful.

"Flowers don't last but they make an impact", remember?

some of the top comments on a hank green reel about climate change.

this attitude is honestly terrifying and also infuriating to me. Yes, billionaires are the main polluters of this planet, far disproportionate to their number.

but the fact that to so many (us-american) leftists, "tax the rich" and "expropriate billionaires" has turned into people living in some of the richest countries on the planet convincing themselves that their consumption and living habits bear no responsibility in climate change makes me feel sick

believing in that to the point of saying CARS are not harmful for the planet? have these people lost their fucking minds? and of course, its only ever other countries which are to blame....

its exactly these takes that you encounter in anti-vegan rethoric as well. as soon as anyone demands a change of these people, they bend over backwards and use leftist internet lingo to say that asking them to change is akin to being a facist or whatever

After seeing @aiscapades working on some Touchstarved sims, I decided I wanted to try the challenge of making Leander's scar as CC! There's still some things I might fix with it in the future, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out and a lot more confident on how to tackle this type of CC in the future 🍻

Was it too late to take back what he’d said about life being good to him?  “Good” didn’t seem to be on the radar for today. (Although, Rin didn’t recall rain being on the radar, either.)

I just want to remind everyone that is your civic duty to jailbreak your Nintendo consoles and pirate every Nintendo property until the heat death of the universe.
