a raven father (i call him "pants") I've been feeding sometimes likes to sit outside my window and either wait for more food or just listen to the stuff I'm watching while I draw. Today's a colder day so he likes to fluff up a bit, and I kid you not :
Depression has been kicking me in the butt lately so I decided to make a little pill bug friend for myself using this pattern by @livvi3love. I changed a couple details to fit my own preferences (like sewing the legs rather than using felt) and I'm very happy with the result! I've been wanting an isopod plushie for a while so it was fun to make my own :>
Something I appreciate about Monkey Man is how doesn't try to frame revenge as just a pointlessly violent, self-destructive pursuit the way many films do. I think it's because Dev Patel was unafraid of adding a political element to the story. The kid wants to avenge his mother, but he also doesn't want what happened to them to keep happening to others. The presence of the hijras really drives this idea home. They fight with him not only because he's their friend, but because Baba and the nationalist party will bring violence literally to their door even if they don't fight back. I often roll my eyes at anti-revenge narratives. I think Dev Patel gets what it's like to be a victim of systematic violence in a way most filmmakers seem not to. Revenge isn't just a selfish pursuit that perpetuates the ~cycle of violence~, it can also be a desperate desire for the violence to end.
i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY
the funniest dynamc between my boyfriend and i is the chef/baker divide runs so deep. experimentally my boyfriend is a genius with figuring out what flavor profiles will not just taste good together but also will be enjoyed by the specific audience he is cooking for. a recipe is not a guidebook so much as a suggestion and he will frankenstein ideas together to get exactly what he wants to happen. he also didnt know that sugar will not work properly if you dont mix it with the wet ingredients in banana bread and when i asked 'why didnt you do it in the order of the recipe' he said 'i didnt really think it mattered'. autistically i exploded his head in my mind

[ID: Art of a laidback green humanoid alien OC, holding up a peace sign with a bright yellow, orange, green, pink, and black checkerboard-patterned skateboard propped on his shoulder. She has teal skin that fades to yellow extremities, shaggy blue neck-length hair with bangs that cover his eyes, a long tail, and short antennae. He has piercings and she's wearing a large black and grey striped t-shirt with a cross on it, a white long-sleeved shirt under it, black sandals, and baggy black pants with checker-patterned straps hanging off the side. She also has necklaces, bracelets, and rings. End ID.]
my awesome new oc lyler (named after lylers gorks), she/he
[ID: A fat pale skinned person with a curly brown mohawk mullet, visible sideburns, and multiple piercings. He's wearing a denim vest covered in pins and patches, a black sleeveless crop top with a fishnet tank underneath, big black tripp-like pants with spikes on them, and shiny black platform combat boots. The first pic is chest up, and the second is a fullbody picture of his reflection in a window. End ID.]
