Admiring the moment

[luminarai]

I once kneeled in shaking thrill

I chase the memory of it still, of every chill

Chided by that silence of a hush sublime

Blind to the purpose of the brute divine

But you were mine

——

Well I started this comic in 2020 or perhaps early 2021 and at this point I thought I would never finish it. And I am still not happy with it. But I am choosing to let go of it and what the hell, why not share it. Hope you all enjoy

lmao someone called me cringe, and I knew instantly that they were at the impressionable age of 14, where you worry about how other people see you, and think cringe is some kind of end all insult that decimates everyone as much as it decimates you.

I'm ten years too old to be bothered by the word cringe.

you're gonna have to use something other than your own discomfort to bother me.

#this applies to so much obviously but really encapsulates my relationship to music #I took a-level music (practical and theoretical) in hs and was constantly surrounded by the most stereotypical hipster-music-snobs #which is hilarious in retrospect but felt so stressful at the time #they were so judgemental and shitty if you liked anything they deemed cringey #and now I just. don’t care anymore #life is too short to try to hide the things that brings you joy #especially if it’s playlists full of silly pop songs and medieval choral arrangements

Don't let this die. Taylor Swift is the Pollution Queen now. We need meme edits with her photoshopped onto backgrounds of wildfire-ravaged landscapes and oil refineries chugging out black smoke.

Photo of smudgy black eye shadow? That's THE Taylor Swift-inspired look now, it represents fossil fuels.

We need parodies of Taylor Swift songs about pollution and killing polar bears.

Give her representatives a full-time job for the rest of their lives defending her from the phrase "Pollution Queen." Make this meme a the figurehead of an entire fleet of other celebrity-terrorizing memes.

"But this doesn't dismantle the system that—" Shut. Don't care. Isn't it great that such a huge portion of environmental damage is being done by human individuals with egos, whose feelings can be hurt when people are mean?

Money can save you from physical harm, but can it save you from looking ridiculous?

#as one of my self described swiftie friends once said ‘if you wanna hate her hate her for the right reasons. like fossil fuel use.’ #edit to add: obv we need to keep the pressure on the major corporations as they are the main players but we also need to hold celebs #accountable. they don’t get a free pass just bc you like them

Look how tall his shoes are look at how much he has to do to imitate a fraction of Armands power (being 6'2)

#armand's eternal revenge for not knowing how the tip feels like: being taller #<- prev hELP #i am deceased #iwtv

May we please see pictures of the beast?? 🥺

Always <3

Here she is attempting to intercept any rogue brain cells that might be floating by (she has yet to succeed)

We’re slowly getting more and more sunlight hours here, which means melting time in our household

And finally, the sight that greeted me as I woke up from a nap recently. I cannot put the threatening aura of this image into words. Enjoy!

#cecil blogs her life #mim the cat #black cats #cats on tumblr #she’s currently snoring in the window sill #she’s as elegant as a typewriter being kicked down the stairs. I love her

Attempting to get the beast used to a dental hygiene routine is… well, it’s going.

(She stayed that way for a solid 8 seconds despite hating being held belly up so I think it’s safe to say that Mim is not beating the ‘tiny speaker playing elevator music instead of a brain’ allegations any time soon.)
