Aw, sweet little Bertie with his Mama!
(Queen Mary, when Duchess of York with infant Prince Albert, later King George VI)
You can tell it's him a mile away - the watchful eyes, (with a tiny turn in the left), the "resting pleasant face" mouth, beautiful shiny hair and his big ol' ears. Adorbs!
And Mary looks so lovely.
It breaks my heart to think this sweet little infant was mistreated and neglected by his first nanny for the first 18 months of his life! I'm sure that in some ways set the stage for some of the anxieties he struggled with throughout his life. Thank goodness Lala Bill came to the rescue and became the children's beloved nanny!
And he turned out to be made of pretty tough stuff!

Okay so my niece was born yesterday (finally!!) so obviously there's a lot of baby holding and oohing and ahhing over the little bundle of joy but all my brain can think about is...
Eddie seeing Steve hold a baby for the first time!!
Like idk maybe Joyce and Hop have a little one, maybe one of the kids get knocked up somehow, maybe Steve just finds he likes volunteering at the hospital and one day there's a preemie who needs skin to skin or whatever...
And I'm just picturing the look of pure joy and wonder on Steve's face as he looks up at Eddie with that "have you seen this?" look and Eddie just being like okay how fast can I make Steve a dad bc that's a look I need to see every day for the rest of my life

Today I had the best time volunteering for a teaching project (which is led by our chief vascular surgeon).
That is, apart from the fact that we ran into some of our abdominal surgery attendings, who gave me a massive (verbal) side-eye for technically hanging out with the vascular surgeons in my free time. (Some of them don’t really see eye to eye, both medically and personally).
And I’m soooo sick of it, can’t I just try to figure out what I eventually want to do with my career without having to navigate a social and political minefield?

Are you plural? Sorry if this is prying, I just relate to your experiences with characters just. Dropping in as a system
(it actually took me a minute to understand this question, so if i got it wrong let me know ;; )
i'm assuming you're asking if i'm a DID system (?) and no, i'm not. i just like to visualize the stuff that happens in my brain, and since i spend so much time on here it usually ends up kinda like a script? i think it's a symptom of making so many comics... lol. i was actually gonna draw the last one out—still might tbh—but i don't have the motivation atm.
i basically just treat all my favorite characters like they live literally rent free in a big spaceship in my head. it helps me write ideas down sometimes actually, kinda rp style.
anyway, not a problem at all, i'm just a funny little space guy going on and on about my obsessions. either way i'm glad my shitposts are relatable to you, dear anon.

I finished the socks for @it-is-no-use!! They haven't been blocked yet, and I may not block them, but they are done! Hopefully these ones actually fit.
No pattern, these are just vanilla socks done in stockinette stitch, with 1X1 ribbing for the cuff and shadow wrap short row heels. Yarn is Herrshners 2-ply Fashion Yarn in color number 0007, SecretGrd. I couldn't find it on Herrshners when I checked last, so it may not be made anymore, the balls I used were received in a destash.

anyway since I'm spitting out dumb little facts / headcanons I love the idea that Carmilla made Verosika's shoes, since she walks with the same knife-like sound that Carmilla does.
