#But I'm super happy with it!!!!

[applejarjar]

The first sleeve I made for my costume! I'm going as a Druid who can shift into a dragon 🐲

First time making chainmail and actually building a costume myself!

And of course included in the photoset is the necklace that inspired my scalemail, it was a gift I got from my family

The lighting in my house makes everything look so blue but it's all pride themed! Can't wait to take some pics in the sun so the purple can really shine through!!

#Btw I made this for a ren Faire costume #I'm going to make a matching sleeve for my other arm too! #The links are done I just need to get some leather to lace it up with and also strengthen some of the rings #Might add a few links to what I'll call the 'flight' scales on the sides because they lay kinda funny #But I'm super happy with it!!!! #Definitely worth the like 2 hours of just planning the pattern and figuring out how to hold the pliers #I altered a hat one time for a pirate cosplay but that was just some glue and patience #This is a whole other ordeal lol #Not the most polished project but I'm positive the second one will be much better #Then when I get the rest of my materials. hopefully soon. I can begin on my skirt #Sadly I couldn't find the Grey scales that're in the necklace anywhere #Apparently they were painted pewter and have been discontinued :/ #But still! I'm also planning on building a skirt that'll have all 4 colors in it so hopefully that makes up for the lack of Grey in these #And my other scalemail type stuff #I got some custom earrings and a cloak clasp that I'll add to my outfit as well #It's gonna be so cool all together!!! #I just hope everything arrives on time 😭 #I still have to get my dress to my sister or be altered and learn the pattern for the skirt oof #Shouldn't be too hard once I get my stuff but I couldn't even begin cause I was missing the most important ring size #Of course it'd be to where I couldn't preassemble all that much ahead of time when my whole plan hinged on that #It's a unit based pattern so it seemed perfect for me in case I ran out of time assembling enough I could string them together #But I can't even start the first piece!!! #Also the larger rings probably would've been better to start learning on #These tiny ones were a pain in the ass lol

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

#I'm so proud and happy for my coworker and I've been trying to figure out how to let him know how amazing I think he is #what gets me the most is that he's keeping this super down low to avoid giving any hints to his kid #he has a lot of queer friends so he already is known as an ally but there's always a chance it will be different if it's family #and he took that chance and crumpled it up into a ball and slam dunked it into the garbage for three points #and decided that even if his kid wants to hide it from him for the rest of his life he will still do what he can to make their life better #pflag #parents doing their best #parenting win #good news #allyship

"feels like we could go on for forever this way.." (x)

Bribed with Chocolate. The way it should be.

Part 22 || First || Previous || Next

--Full Series--

More to come as this is a two-parter. But you know how I am with schedules.

Bonus:

I think this was an equally possible reaction from Chara.

#Chara and Azzy have another talk #Finally Chara shows their mischievous side. #and Azzy knows Chara's language well #my art #deltarune chara timeline #art #bread #deltarune #ngl im so happy with how that chocolate shake came out. I want to eat it so bad #yay 6 pages of taking :') i hope you guys like that lmao #Glad I got this one done in basically a month and a week! Hah. I'm trying me best :') Halloween.. Exams and a ton of other things came up #surprisingly these backgrounds weren't terrible to do... I mean took more than two hours but you know what I mean #i struggled with how to frame the background though. I actually liked drawing it. But because both the background and my characters-- #--are super colorful I have to make sure I don't muddle the whole page. #Ive been thinking of doing the overworld in black and white recently... may help me actually finish the comic lol. idk i may make a poll #gonna try and get the new part out in maybe a month again? sorry. Thanksgiving and Christmas get me exhausted.

calling it right now that season 3 starts like this

#so confused about people saying the season finale feels like the end because to me it didn't at all #there's like 5-10 issues immediately set up for another season #they're in a happy place at this point because they've both realized their love is bigger than anything else #and makes it worth working on their problems together #the problems are still very much there #both of them have deep self esteem/self loathing issues that haven't been resolved in the week since ed woke up #ed doesn't know about stede's trauma #they haven't talked through anything #and they'll be shit at starting/running an inn lmao it's not gonna go well #and those are just some of the internal issues #then there's prince ricky and all the authorities that would very much like to get their hands on both blackbeard and stede bonnet #because stede just full-on kept using his government name after faking his death. nice one #the crew are not “gone” they're more like off to college for a bit but will probably run into trouble immediately #again because while they escaped to the ship they didn't eliminate the threat (the british empire) #it's not a forever goodbye #ok this got super long already anyway i have a whole fic marinading in my brain until i've finished these 4 wips i'm in the middle of ✌️ #hope we get a renewal soon because i want to see the rest of their story!! #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd s2 #ofmd #our flag means death

this place feels familiar...

#the text in the drawing is a quote from professor N btw. #ignoring the fact that i suck at rendering. i'm super happy abt this #there was some vague color symbolism happening in my mind while coloring this. chuuya red. the world is blue. yeah.. themes. motifs. #and that's the part where cloneboy's hand slams against the tank next to chuuya's hand... that scene lives rent free in my head #<- merged with the scene where he sees verlaine's memory of rescuing him. #bsd #bungo stray dogs #stormbringer #chuuya #verlaine #rimbaud #actually i'm really growing on this coloring style.. grainy low contrast type. and textures #OHYEAH the first chuuya nakahara stormbringer angst brainrot art of 2024!!!! #.png

Alas, so long as the music plays, we dance.

(Cole's cryptic comments + The Song)

#dragon age #dai gifs #flemeth #solas #cole #my gifs #you know.. isn't it interesting how DA4 seems to be going for a purple color scheme now? #....and if you mix blue and red you get WHAT?? 👀👀 #EXACTLY #coincidence?? I think NOT lmao #if the ''song is sundered''... then what'll happen when everything sings the same again? 👀 #then there's that one line from Solas in Haven.. #''harmonizing with new magic in an unending symphony'' that's also a very interesting way of phrasing #there's that musical connotation again #but let me tell you.. #listening to super eerie soundtracks while making this was certainly an experience 😶 #I'm just happy I managed to make a gif set after 84 years.... #and it only took me [insert unhealthy amount of hours] #hahaha 💀 #at least I still remember how the flycam works lol

ten minutes into the trip and already Leona's elaborate get-out-of-work-free plan has gone wildly off the rails. off to a great start!

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #tamashina mina #long post #sorry for this #if you look closely you can pinpoint the exact moment i went 'well i'm too committed to stop now' #someday i'm actually gonna listen to that little voice in my head that tells me i can just. not post things. #anyway HEY welcome to midriffs in the afterglow! #i was hoping our New Character might be leona's sister-in-law #i don't remember if it's canon that she's super buff and could break him in half or if i just want it to be canon #(it's canon in my heart) #but you know i'll take kifaji #i'm happy with a smarmy oldster with impeccable eyeshadow and brows i could get lost in #my ultimate hope out of this event is a rhythmic with cheka. fingers crossed. 🤞

wait what do you mean a red string of fate ties us together but all we do is strangle each other with it. what do you mean this string can only stretch and tangle but never break and yet we keep biting and gnawing on it to try to free ourselves from it anyway.

#taimizu #mizu x taigen #taigen x mizu #taizu #blue eye samurai #mizu #taigen #there was an attempt #i love that my last art of them is super soft and warm and tender and this one is them at their most toxic #i must stress that both of these are important to their dynamic <3 #early taimizu = toxic crazy insane #late-game taimizu = soft yearning tender sweet growing together etc #at least that's how it is in my delusional mind bcs lbr taimizu are NOTTT capable of tenderness YET #but their scene together in the forge is proof that they do have potential to be soft and playful and happy together <33 #but anyway this post is not about that. this post about them both being feral murderous bitches who get turned on by violence <3 #lol i keep saying it but it's TRUE so i'll say it again—they HAVE the range honey!!!!! #ok i'm done
