LANA TURNER does her part, 1942
She was a pin-up girl of the first order. She was a soldier’s dream during World War II, officially “The Girl We’d Like to Be Stranded on a Deserted Island With,” “The Girl We’d Like to Find in Every Port,” and “The Most Gorgeous, Spectacular, and Pulse-stirring Thing on High Heels.” The 18th Bomb Squadron of the U.S. Air Force painted her on the nose of their B-17 and named the plane “Tempest Turner.” In 1942 she raised $50,000 selling war bonds with kisses and her efforts altogether brought in an estimated $5,000,000.
Back home she was a regular at the Hollywood Canteen and on the studio lot she played hostess to large groups of soldiers. She also performed broadcats for Armed Forces Radio, where soldiers could have any wish come true, no matter how random, if it could be transmitted over the airwaves. They could hear Carole Landis sigh, Judy Garland sing “Over the Rainbow,” or Lana Turner cook a porterhouse steak smothered with onions. That’s the request that was made of her and she was happy to oblige. Visiting hospitals was the most difficult because she was easily affected by injuries and sad stories. The soldiers loved her. They were convinced she was the last pretty girl they would ever see. - LANA: THE MEMORIES, THE MYTHS, THE MOVIES

My headcanons of the Reluctant Follower unmasked back in the day vs now :3 Valerie (2019) and Vanessa (2021) + Rare human art
Imma be real I was a bit disappointed at the Vanny is Vanessa twist because off how it got spoiled already by SteelWool and stuff but I'm fine with it now!!! But oughhh rip my old Vanny design you will be my oc now!! I think I was just bummed because they kept hinting at it and like the first human character revealed and the enemy being a furry is like huh istg if she ends up being the security guard... I think I wouldn't have mind if Ness had more screentime tbh!!
So back then I hoped Vanny was separate from Vanessa and they both had similar names so Glitchtrap wanted to frame Nessie for the murders due to it. Same with Glam Freddy and Greggy think it was Vanessa who was the bad guy at first like gasps Vanessa + Bunny = Vanny!! Also they're both fake blondes and dye their hair often!! (There's more to it but I'd end up rambling)
First time drawing textured hair digitally I hope to improve more on it in the future because oughh Vanny deserves it!!!

zoro and luffy’s baby daughter is the loudest crier and screamer in the world due to trauma from being abandoned by her biological parents. when zoro and luffy are feeling so hopeless and tired for not knowing what to do, ace comes over to the thousand sunny to put his niece on his very warm chest and it instantly calms her down, only letting out a few sniffles. it makes ace laugh and he softly talks to her in a low, comforting tone while rocking her to sleep

sleeping over @ my friend's house and we were talking abt music and I said like Oh I discovered this song cause of some Riddler fanart & then about how we both have characters we're crazy abt & I told her like "it's gonna be two years now and my Riddler craze has not left" and she was like "oh I know cause isn't that common for ND people?" and I just said YEAH ^^ but then I realized I've never told her about my POSSIBLE autism diagnosis 😭 ANYWAYS she asked me like "why are you so crazy about him I wanna know!!" and I kept telling her like nonono you see I'm TOO crazy and it'll take a while to tell you everything but she was like I'M ALL EARS !!!! so I started talking and talking and talking and she was falling asleep & I kept having to shake her awake 😭 in the end we only got up to the Riddler arrest scene because it's Literally 4 in the morning RN like I've been talking abt this freak for over an hour ..... also she was like "you're gonna keep talking in the morning 🆗?" and I said OKAY 🩷 YAY 🩷 & then I showed her Riddler Arrest Scene one of the most crucial cinematic moments for me in recent times and she was like "YEAH ok this shit goes crazy" like mhm mhm!!! and then I released her <3

Sketches from a fem!Sheith ATLA AU that I never ended up writing where Keith is the Fire Princess, and Shiro is a Fire Nation soldier-turned-Sun Warrior tasked with teaching Akira (Keith) firebending (she owed a favor).
Akira doesn't firebend much, not after loosing her father in a tragic accident, but it turns out the princess is remarkably skilled with swords. Shiro is smitten (but of course, so is the princess) ❤️

Hello friend 🫶 I’m not sure what happened (and I don’t have to know unless you want to) but I’m here to give love and hugs and any distraction you require! 💖🦛
Thanks friend 🩷
I lost my best friend and roommate of the last 15 years today. It's been a hard day, but I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without my aunt especially, who helped me get her from my house to the pet cemetery for cremation and a few pocket friends with excellent distraction skills and lots of love and support. I appreciate everyone who has reached and/or answered my plea for distractions today 💕💕💕
That's my Penelope, I miss her so much already 🤎🖤🤍
