it's been nearly two years since i first drew this piece but i have finally managed to color it in a way that i'm satisfied with!!! 😤 (original ver here)

07.20.23 happy birthday oikawa <333

#haikyuu!! #oikawa tooru #iwaizumi hajime #hanamaki takahiro #matsukawa issei #matsuhanaiwaoi #haikyuu #seijoh four #seijoh 4 #seijoh third years #my art #mine #sorry i didn't have time to draw anything new specifically for oikawa's bday >A< #but!!! it's very satisfying to finally lay this piece to rest LMAO #like i think the original colors for this were the best i could do at the time #esp since it was for a zine with a schedule #but yeah i looked at it a couple of months after i finished and i was like #front cover: 10/10 no notes fine the way it is #back cover: hm..................i don't know what it is but i feel like this could be colored better #and then yeah it took me until now to finally tackle recoloring it #which btw was a constant stream of me yelling COMMIT TO THE COLORS COMMIT TO THE COLORS at myself #(instead of being wishy washy and blending too much which is smth i've always struggled with when painting)

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

#crochet #knitting #needlepoint #sewing #embroidery #shoutout to the time it took me 4 years to make my dad a hat. and like 6 years to make a turtle for a teacher. #i picked up yarn spinning for ONE day in like 2017. i have not done it since. #there's a half finished elephant amigurumi sitting in a basket and i started that guy in like 2011 #i have two maybe three shawls i know of that are sitting unfinished in a storage bag #plenty of swatches of things that i start and lose interest in #currently i have a cardigan i wanted to make and started it and then got bored so i stopped #there's a hat i was knitting for my nanna that i started maybe 2 days before she passed #and that's sat unfinished i can't even look at it. i have no clue if i'll ever actually finish it. #there's at least one skirt i never finished sewing. and two skirts i have all the materials for but haven't started. #i know i have one beach cover up dress and one cover up skirt that i started in 2017 and didn't finish. #i think my oldest work in progress though dates back to when i was 9 or 10. i made a slipper. never finished the other foot. #that was in 2005 or 06. so literally i might have WIPs older than someone who is reading this. #and those are the just some of the ones i REMEMBER. buried in my yarn stash are probably others i've just forgotten.

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)

“Those girls found it… the thing that they cherish. And that’s why they’re strong.”

#op #fuck #I just finished rewatching this show and I’ve been hit with an unprecedented tidal wave of feelings #Hisone to Masotan is genuinely a masterpiece #please please please watch it if you haven’t yet #I see a lot of myself in the main characters #and the themes of finding your own identity and what it means to fall in love really hit home for me #Plus the fact that it’s all tied together with vore used as an emotional and humorous storytelling trope and boom. Instant 10/10 #The scene where they all fall asleep inside their dragons at the end of episode 8 really got me #If you know you know #soft vore #safe vore #it took me 15 billion years to crop these gifs so you’d better appreciate them #fandom vore

*sighs* can’t make anything easy for myself can I?

I was sliding around the internet and saw this skirt from SHEIN.

And immediately thought I can make that better! In beautiful linen! With massive pockets! So I got to work. Step one. I’ve been wanting a wrap circle skirt for a while so cool let’s do that. So I cut out the half circle, easy peaky. Well. I did not have enough fabric for the flounce after that. (Literally the time between seeing this pic and measuring fabrics was like. 15min lol) so I went on the website I got the linen from and they no longer offered it in the weight I needed!! Ok well. I do have a heavier linen in my stash already and I didn’t really want to pay more for shipping then for the fabric anyways. So I will use that. A waistband with the thicker fabric would be better anyways and the ruffle would have some nice heft plus I was gonna leave the edge raw and the thicker fabric would ravel just a little nicer imo.

But then.

I saw some cotton lace at the back of my stash. That would be hella cute!!! Only it was only 2 in wide. But that got me thinking about lace and um. Crocheted lace. That’s insane tho right? I already have a perfectly good solution and I haven’t crocheted a full piece in like 6 years….

Anyways I spent the morning before work sampling/relearning lol. I’m gonna have to make like 3 yards since I want a 2x times gathered ruffle.

#me: I can’t start anymore yarn projects until I finish at least 2 current wips #also me: this is a sewing project I can do what I want #anyways I’ve barely started the sample but shout out to crochet it’s fast even when ur slow at it #I almost can’t believe myself I ignoring a perfectly good solution that is in line with The Vision but I turn my back on it #I say almost because I’ve lived with me for 30 years I do kno what I’m like at this point lol #but yeah it might actually be doable??? #I might be being a little optimistic because one row of single crochet on a 6in size 10 crochet cotton still took me like 10min #but I’m fast at chaining and I wanna do a net design for the bulk of it #might go down a yarn size tho so it gathers nicely #also have had NiN closer on loop this whole time so it’s like #me whispering to my sewing projects ‘u let me complicate u’ #crochet #yarn #sewing #hand sewing

hello new self portrait just dropped which means this is officially what i look like now

#i have glasses now!!!! i’m not very good at drawing them but i sure have them on my face at all times shdhdf #and i recently started growing out my hair!!!! my distinctive bowl cut had a good run but i’m officially moving forward #i’ve also started exaggerating my big droopy sad eyelashes a LOT in pictures lately it’s part of my core identity now or something #(that’s not true shdhdf but i think my face knew about my puppydog destiny long ago and gave me puppydog eyes) #anyway i just haven’t drew anything in forever like i think i’ve drew four things that weren’t JUST notebook doodling. all this school year #(and one of those was vent art on paper and the other one was coloring with my little sister. so i’ve drew two things on ibispaint at all) #anyway i think my glasses suit me really good and i’m also really excited i can see the world really good now #i still have some vision problems from POTS that aren’t fixed but like. i can see detail in brick walls now and i’m obsessed #house fucker behavior i’m so sorry shdhdhdff (THIS IS A JOKE AND LIE. I DONT FUCK HOUSES) #(and i’m apparently a house m.d. kinnie so i wouldn’t fuck him EITHER cause we’re the same person i could never) #ANYWAYS i can see well finally and that’s good. and in conclusion i’m real tired and should go to bed #i took my meds at 9:30 then started drawing at 10 finished at 11:30 #and now it’s midnight and i’m long overdue to be asleep already. so goodnight world!!!! #i have a sleepover tomorrow night which is very exciting. and also work and homework as usual shdhdf #but in the meantime i get to sleep. for up to 12 hours!!!! here’s hoping #ok anyway!!!! goodnight!!!! #P.S. text or call if you need anything!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later (probably)

10 Things I’ll Tattoo on You

10 Things I Hate About You AU

It’s a terrible idea from the start. Eliott knows that. But when presented with the possibility of a date with a cute boy for a generous sum of much-needed cash, could anyone blame him for taking resident-asshole-Charles-Munier up on the offer? Well, yes. Lucas Lallemant could. But there’s no need for him to find out about the arrangement. A date and it’s done. Easy enough. Or it would be... if Lucas wasn’t... Lucas. Head-strong, stubborn, cheeky, and everything Eliott didn’t know he needed. In conclusion: He’s fucked.

ive been wanting to do a kwami swap au, but I don’t want to like... rewrite the whole series so what ep or eps would be ideal for a good kwami swap au

#ml #miraculous ladybug #i guess i could just find like a buzzfeed top 10 or something #if you know anything about me and my writing you know that rewriting a whole series is not something im fully against #i have started rewrites for 4 full series #1 actually finished and it took 9 years #one is 1 chapter away from being done #the other is halfway done #the fourth is just a pile of notes and sketches and i fear the day i actually write it and it consumes me in whole #i refuse to let ladybug be the 5th #so like a couple of episodes that would make good kwami swap eps

UR lists are extremely, EXTREMELY inflated from these last few days of scouting, but here’s where we got. august 2014 - march 2023! so long and goodnight

#i really never imagined that i’d delete it at this point #i got my sif2 transfer data all set up but actually deleting the app took a second #man that’s almost 10 years!! my thumbs will never be the same!! #pulling this game out when the teacher sent me in the hall to discuss test answers for a day i wasn’t there and finishing one live just as #she calls me back in #it really is crazy how long this game’s been around and it was so bittersweet saying goodbye the other fab that i. decided not to #that was gonna be my last time but knowing there were a few days left i couldn’t hold myself to it #goodnight sweet prince idk what sif 2 will be like but you were one of the greats #not to get too too earnest #personal #sif

‘Twas the year of trying out different ways of coloring methinks,,

I decided to just completely abandon lineart this year after the first few months, so maybe I should try to practice that again lol. But the different ways of coloring I tried out had some pretty fun effects!!

Also, yeah there was no way I could choose for September dbfjbcjc. My birthday arts are two of my most favorite pieces that I’ve done in a looooong time,,

#art tag #year in review #those first few ones were back when i was preparing for my grand return to tumblr #so i had to redraw all my self inserts for my new carrd #didnt realize it took me that long to finish all of them though sjbcjfhd #eh 3 months for like 10-ish ref sheets is actually not bad #anyway what a fun art year #nice to know im not in severe artblock anymore #just need to get back into animation again too and then we all gucci

[shopcat]

it is actually so fucked up that whenever the weather warms up and things are getting greener i DEEPLY feel nostalgic for reading the warrior cats books and want to read them again because when i first read them i was stuck on my aunts farm at 8 years old and she let me rent something from the library when she visited. and because i used to play outside all day every day pretending to be a warrior cat so it was always best when it was summer because the grass wasn't dead .. and now i'm 22 and i still think about that UGH and i used to read those books for years and years because i could only get one like every 4 months. my copy of the third book in the fourth series still has the dog ear'd page i put in it when i was 13 because i never finished it <3 something something bc ur childhood self didn't die you just got older

#🐾 #they were only 10 dollars but it would mean going to the big mall in the actual town we live next to which is like a 80 minute round trip #i honestly never even thought about it but it is crazy like it took me from age 8 to 13 to get to just the fourth series and i didn't even #finish it #also bias'd but i think these art versions are so much nicer but painting > digital always #it is both like nostalgia and now refreshened nostalgia bc i recently reread up to series 3 like. 2 years ago ..? 3 ? #OG MUTUALS REMEMBER 🙏🙏🙏

WOAH

#i could honestly make a full reflection on art for me this past year #cuz like #i think for me I’ve been #so much more motivated to draw #even if it’s hard for me to finish pieces and make something cool as of late #like the past couple of years I’ve only been able to finish like 10 max #whereas I’ve just been so so so much more excited to draw again #it feels good #i don’t know how much I’ve improved overtime #honestly I’m worried I’ve stagnated #but I guess maybe picking up my feet and finally getting fully back into drawing #instead of just being a passing urge #feels good #ANYWAYS can u guess what took over my life this year #(pokemon but specifically AU pokemon)
