Children Will Listen / Give Yourself Grace

Years ago, there was a musical I badly wanted to do, Into the Woods. And I wanted to be the Witch.

Why? She sang my favorite song.

Careful the things you say Children will listen Careful the things you do Children will see and learn Children may not obey, but children will listen Children will look to you for which way to turn To learn what to be Careful before you say "Listen to me" Children will listen

Why bring this up? Well... you'll see.

This afternoon, we took the kids to a museum in town. It was an hour drive, a lot of planning, but totally worth it.

My Eldest is a huge fan of solo time with each of us. So, Matthew stayed with the younger two in the kid area while Eldest and I made the first pass around the museum.

We came across this gorgeous glass tree with notes tossed beneath it. Some of them caught my eye. Beautiful, right?

Glancing around, I realized there were more beautiful notes on the wall. The exhibit was alive.

I read the instructions to my kid that we were to leave love to the ancestors or encouragement and words of wisdom. He and I both set to work on our notes, and when he finished, I looked over to see what his said.

I nearly burst into tears. See, I spend a lot of time speaking life into my kids. I didn't really have that growing up. In fact, I had the opposite of that. I heard a lot of things growing up that weren't great.

So, I work really hard to always speak life into my kids. To say what I think they need and what I know I wish I heard. And I try to spread love and kindness to all I meet.

Looking over to my Little's paper, I saw the exact same thing on mine. He's listening.

Me: You wrote the same thing as me! Him: You're always saying it.

Yeah, I do say that a lot. Because, it's what I needed to hear when I was a kid. But it's also what I need to hear today.

My Eldest is as much a perfectionist as I am. We both want to do our best at all times, and when we think we've fallen short, it hurts.

And I have met a lot of other creatives who feel the same way. So, if the New Year is making you question how much you've accomplished this year, or if you're feeling like you're not measuring up, I invite you to listen to my kid:

Don't forget to give yourself grace

You're doing better than you think. Heck, I question myself as a parent almost every day. But every day my kids show me that they are listening.

So, give yourself grace. You've got this.

Listening to this version of the classic show tune when it struck me how well this would work in (aka I’d like to see one) an Owl House amv, some lyrics might work more literally or figuratively than others in my vision of what scenes would be used but they’re all freaking poignant

I know the circustances didn't make it avaliable, but..I kinda wish we had a farewell scene

#listen listen their friendship means everything to me #screw canon screw anything that's her DAD he's her honorary DAD alright #simon's a honorary dad to whoever needs it #also drawing dad figures being soft with their honorary children is therapeutic to my familial issues #simon petrikov #adventure time #fionna and cake #my art #fanart #fionna and cake spoilers #fionna campbell #adventure time fionna and cake #damn i can't draw people hugging to save my life #btw i didnt forget about marceline marcy's the apple of his eye #simon is just bursting with dad energy that's all

like don’t you get it? by hunting ghosts you become a part of them. a presence that lingers. the memories you are making here right now is also what will survive of this place. it’s also what will haunt it.

#‘’it’s my bridge now. they will put my name in graffiti. children will come and tell tales of me’’ #<- rewrote the story. #ghost files #bfu #buzzfeed unsolved #watcher #don’t listen to me I’m insane

old men

#i dont know anymore guys #didn't know what clothes to give finn so he's just wearing whatever #a family can be an old guy who lost his wife but not his passion for living. a pirate who spent half his life in prison and is scarred by it #and another old guy who doesn't remember himself or those around him and slowly losing grasp on life #and their three traumatized children. a panda. the fourth traumatized child. a little boy they kept on the ship. the ship. #the riptide crew is so funny. why are three of their people pensioners. #hopefully when they save arlin he will also join the old men polycule #technically he was already in it. they just weren't old..... i need to listen to the blackrose oneshot eugh #jrwi riptide #jrwi earl #drey ferin #finn tidestrider #my art #sketch

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

#i do think that this pit of anger was eventually covered and soothed by the ponds #but he didn't adress it and he couldn't even look at it until he was twelve #when he stopped pushing back and repressing everything and finally allowed himself to exist as he was #but ok listen #its all layed out in the first 3 episodes of season 5 and in the way amy sees him #episode 1. here is the new doctor he is energetic and reeling and fun #episode 2. the space whale comparison. here is the new doctor. he is unthinkably ancient and almost godlike but he is so so kind #and patient and good. he is ancient and lonely but he can't stand to see children cry. so the doctor helps people #episode 3. daleks. the doctor is a soldier. these are his age old enemies. he wants them dead and he will stop at nothing #all logic and reason vanish. he is hitting the dalek with a pipe and yelling his head off while amy watches in horror #like obviously we know why but amy didnt #this is not a sane or rational man he is unstable and angry #and in that episode he was stripped back to what he largely is: hate #you would make a good dalek ect ect ect #anyway 3 episodes with 3 very distinct and equally definitely traits layed out like: here you go #i don't like elevens era much but those first 3 episodes were great #doctor who #eleven #amy #eleventh doctor #matt smith #dr who #dw #i mean idk this is what river literally had to spell out for him #eleven was careening completely out of control #how long til doctor means warrior indeed? #mine

my interpretation of adoptive bee :’)

pls don’t repost!

#the entire time i’ve been working on this i’ve Wished i could write because i have so many opinions (not gonna get into it though) #i do however imagine andrew is like 7-8 when bee fosters/adopts him but also idk how to draw children so he kind of looks 2-4 LMAOOO #also idk how old bee is. listen. whatever :) #and is it unlikely he’d accept touch from bee so soon? again idk but in this case 🤷🏻‍♂️ #my art #my aftg art #andrew minyard #bee dobson #betsy dobson #adoptive bee #aftg #aftg au #all for the game #the foxhole court #tfc #andreil IF YOU SQUINT #tfc au #also just saying it was so weird drawing a calm smile on andrew so bare with me

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #jiang fengmian #Scenes that are tragic but still made me laugh: JFM wrapping the boys *right back up* after finding out it was YZY who tied them up. #I know he did it because he understands the severity of what's going on in lotus pier & the need to protect his children. #But it also comes off as 'Oh your mother said so? Yeah I'm not overruling her. Listen to your mother kids. I gotta go.' #You guys ever think about how the last time Jiang Cheng saw his parents alive it was them both pushing him away one last time? #I do!!! I sure do!!! Now you can too! Welcome to my sad little club. The refreshments are all saltwater. #And the subtle difference in who the parting is intended for. YZY meant to leave WWX with JC as a protector. JFM wants them both safe. #The reveal that Zidian responds to JFM aches so badly. #The fact the weapon she literally lashes out with also reveals her heart is so poetic. #I sure hope they can reconcile their feelings. I hope it all works out. #This is the last of the math boat jokes. Back to labeling the boats properly after this.

I personally cannot wait to see the cultural consequences of voltron legendary defender come to fruition

#the children in the voltron mines are entering the work force #and the consequences of this are immeasurable #Katie klanced will be a Supreme Court justice one day and we will all know #listen…I know in my bones that one day there will be a romcom that’s just #a blatant rip of dirty laundry #and the creator will be called on it IMMEDIATELY #and they are faced with the impossible choice of fessing up to having ripped the plot from a bad klance fic #or pretending that they are entirely unaware #and failing at that #and I think that’s delicious #as an anthropology major the cultural phenomenon of voltron is fascinating #miraculous.txt #vld
