#i just finished reading it for class

I’m still not over how underwhelming The Handmaid’s Tale was.

#merricat.txt #i just finished reading it for class #it was okay #but like atwood’s inability to recognize how important race and the ‘gender traitors’ were to her story was endlessly frustrating #i’m going to read parable of the sower soon once my friend is done with her copy #i think it’ll be interesting to compare them

Some Peregrine art! I've been trying to find time to draw between the thousands of tasks I've been stuck doing, so it was nice to just spend some time drawing today.

Sketch below the cut because I like how it looks >:}

I chose to ignore physics for this one.

he's so important to me

#i guess i need to watch the anime but super's manga has just been a self-indulgent fever dream for me from start to finish #100000/10 absolutely perfect so validating so extremely catered to my tastes and headcanons and analyses and humor #so fucking funny and emotional and intense and goofy and beautifully drawn #my beautiful son getting to finally fucking see his HARD won character growth fucking shine and choose love and choose to be loved!!!!!! #Goku just being Goku Vegeta being Team Dad Piccolo being Team Grandpa Bulma being a fucking superstar keeping everybody organized and fed #god i love this squad i love this series i love these dumbasses and their struggles and their triumphs and their stupid childish bonding #I love that Toriyama just spent the last several years reminding the class that DB as a whole has always been an ACTION-COMEDY about LOVE #and I'm SO sad that the z anime really never did it justice in that sense because of having to fill time with dramatic tension but god. GOD #THE MANGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO CLEAR ON THAT THESIS. #Just all about Restorative Justice and Community and CARING even when you wish SO MUCH that you didn't care but yoU DO GODDAMMIT!!! #SUCH a great series I'm so sad it took losing mr t for me to finally read it but my god I needed to read it now and I'm so glad he wrote it #and i'm SO glad he wrote it Exactly Like This #once again rip to a legend i'm caught up and crying it's so perfect it's SO everything I've wanted to see onscreen and embedded in canon #and canon isn't everything but it still feels gREAT to be SO 1:1 on the same page with an author re: how you interpret your blorbo yknow??? #been rotating this man in my head for 25 years and Mr Toriyama just mWAH kissed me on the forehead about it #anyway enough tag rambles I'm off again aklsjla #bonus for that kenpachi shit and letting him say 'sorry dude I can't be cold and numb anymore but this is still cathartic as fuck lol' like #mr t i hope you see the HIGHEST tier of heaven for that (and obviously for like everything all of it the whole life you led)

Posting my 4 year old high school DHMIS art in solidarity with the new show hype

Bonus lore: my teacher OC was a human-shaped pile of clothes split into two characters (the shirt/body and the hat on top)

#IM SO HAPPY ITS BACK #my biggest regret in 2018 as getting into it after the hype had passed #I finally get a DHMIS fandom moment<33 #iirc @sketchbook-and-tony-adventures was a major inspiration for the style in some of these (this blog meant SO MUCH to me #I read it from start to finish in class and was just in awe of the character writing and style #so tysm #dhmis #don't hug me I'm scared #dhmis fanart #tony the talking clock #colin the computer #meat guy #dhmis lamp #dhmis sketchbook #dhmis shrignold #dhmis spinach can

I loved the cowboy comic so much that I wrote a oneshot for it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/50934235 🥺 your art is BEYOND amazing, ty for the food

INCREDIBLE!!!!!

#billdip #I honestly loved this story start to finish with the ambience and quick pace #hadn't considered the possibility of Bill and Dipper actually working *together* but it's always a good time when they do ❤️ #sorry it took so long to reblog 🥲 #I read it like- Right when you posted. But I had to catch a plane and then drive an extra hour home and immediately get on zoom for class #and today i was just all around exhausted so i slept roughly 70% of the entire day dndsjdndnd #all that to say that I had your fic in the back of my mind and I very much wanted to set some time aside and re-read it when I got the chan #honestly with how well you set things up I would've loved to see your own rendition of their first kiss #You established their relationship really well at the start and brought them together by the end after outsmsrtong those bandits #it feels like you have a better understanding of who they are to each other than even i do 😌 very much a fan #i love when stories incorporate those sort of 'habits' that the love interests fall into #that confuses character A while character B is so clearly using it as an excuse to get close and spend more time with them #i squealed like a maniac when Bill was like oooph lemme walk you home 😏🤠 #sir i am going to wrangle you up if you don't compose yourself #and Dipper's just wary of him because people as handsome as bill used to pick on him 😢 #little does he know he's grown into a 10/10 cutie patootie that any cowboy would be stupid NOT to smooch #I'm a simple man. I read oblivious low-confidence cowboy being pursued by a hottie on a horse. I lose my shit #Awesome wonderful writing!!! so happy to have caught your eye and i hope to continue pumping out content for this wonderfully weird ship

Idk if this is controversial, but studying for a English/writing degree at university shouldn’t make you NOT want to engage with writing or literature. Just a thought.

#the amount of times one of my literature professors presented us with the worst reading or interpretation (some of which were just plain #revolting) of a piece of literature almost as if she were expecting us to like it just because it was sensational and me and everyone else #going ‘um. no. sorry. not only does that make no sense but now I kind of want to throw up’ #I just came here to read some gothic lit and honestly I’m feeling so attacked right now. (my fault for signing up for gothic lit I suppose) #her English survey class made me never want to look at the written word again #however I know this isn’t me having an issue with survey classes (although the rate they make you read at is kind of ridiculous and I read #fast: case in point for one of them I had to read Huck Finn in 9 days) #because I took American Survey from another professor and it was really challenging but probably the best course I ever took at university #I was not expecting to develop such a distaste for the academic world at uni but maybe that’s just my university (whenever I complain about #this my mom always tells me I need to watch Dead Poet’s Society lol) #siggggghhh anyway. hoping for some better classes with my exchange program (although none of them are writing/English as I’m almost #finished with my degree) #english lit #university #english #college

@posebean's new chapter got me feelin' things, man.

[kazz-brekker]

one of my favorite ways books can do a plot twist is to use the fact that they are a written medium and not a visual medium to tell a story in a way where you THINK you know what's happening and who the characters are, but actually, what you're imagining is different than the reality of the story because of a few key details you didn't notice have been left out. and then, when the truth is revealed you're like "oh my god! how did i not see this!!" when of course the reason why you didn't is because you're seeing the book filtered through the perspective of a narrator who does not feel the need to explain every aspect of the world and their mind to you, and so something that is so shocking to you has actually been known to them all along.

#just finished reading the books different class and the last house on needless street #and they both had plot twists where they were concealing very important information about the identity of the narrator #but provided enough information that the reader really thinks they know what's going on until it's revealed that you very much do not #brilliant! love it!!! #pie says stuff #pie reads #different class #joanne harris #the last house on needless street #catriona ward #i described the plot twists in these books as making me feel like someone made me close my eyes spin in a circle and then start walking #big spoiler to say either of the twists but i think they were quite well done

Heya! Saw your cry for a distraction and honestly such a mood.

I've got a question!

What's your least favorite thing to draw/do when you make art?

I'm on my own art journey right now and kind of dread the transition from lineart to coloring.

Trying to study anatomy right now and ignore rendering but I'm curious what other artists feel is challenging or just like 'ugh, ok time for [x]'

OHHH in terms of what's challenging, for me it's definitely coloring, rendering, backgrounds, and composition HAHA (<- chronic flat colors user who only draws character art on a floating white background)

i love focusing on gesture and lines when i draw ^_^ i rely mostly on intuition for the other stuff but it really only takes u so far T_T i'll spend hours trying to fix something by trial and error when i probably couldve saved that time by putting in more conscious studying/practice lol

#the thing that keeps me from getting too down about it tho is that it just takes some dedicated time and practice!!! #one of my goals this year is to take a class on one of those things!! or read a book on it or smth lol #for me i like learning the theory behind those things. makes things click and saves me a lot of time and frustration down the road lol #just the other day i was working on smth and the colors took me FOREVERRRR to figure out T_T #it's like. i kinda knew why the colors didnt work together but i didn't know how to pick the right ones to fix it. #it's nice to have tools to fall back on when you get stuck/intuition fails you #BUT!! everyone is different #the important thing is to not get too hung up on the things you are weak in ^_^ it's only temporary as long as ur patient and practice!! #i think its hilarious how u put it tho 'ugh ok time for' BC IT RLY DO FEEL LIKE THAT SOMETIMES DKJFHASF #me when i finish my sketch/lines. ugh now time for everything else BAHAHA #ALSO SORRY I REPLIED SO LATE this has been sitting in drafts for a while and i forgot to finish writing my response omfg

[callmetippytumbles]

Just write a response they said. It wouldn’t take long to write.

How it’s going:

LOL I honestly believed I was gonna keep that short.

#so since i cannot annotate your post directly like comments on google docs or word i picked a section and commented #this is just about the black hair section #i am about halfway through the actual essay itself - writing commentary as i read #it started simple enough by asserting kiara’s hair choices are part of how she assimilates into cordonian upper class society #then…it grew #also i never played the ‘drake pranks kiara’ scene in a way that he messes with her hair product…EVER* #*that i remember and i feel like i would remember something like that #3400 words later and i am only *now* getting to talking about actual hair products and how your location can affect access to them #see what you do to me lizzybeth?!? #and i have javascript homework to finish 😳🥴🥲
