#I WILL NEVER STOP STARING

[golyadkin]

I cannot express enough that if your reaction, as a hobby artist, to not getting that many notes on your art is to say "maybe I should just stop doing art altogether" you need to stop posting art to tumblr

not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work

believe me, I get it, nothing crushes the artistic soul quite like labouring for hours on a piece only for it to get like 10 notes, so you need to find your own source of joy in the act of creation and a lot of the time that means making art and not showing it to anybody

#not art #listen #for real #this is not about any one person because i've seen posts about it from a bunch of people #you think i post everything here? buddy i dont even post half my stuff here #every drawing you see is preceded by five more just like it #that never see my cursor close to the save button #i have a sketchbook i draw in regularly that i do'nt show to a single goddam person #i make cutout art from gels i steal from work and stick them to my windows and do paintings in my living room just for me #because that it the only way you are ever going to be able to retain your original love of art #is by doing it for the sake of doing it #not for the sake of seeing how many people stop and stare #anyways i'm sorry if this sounds terse #but i'm so sick of seeing artists put all their self-esteem and happiness in the hands of a blogging website #stop selling yourself short by measuring your self worth by how many reblogs you get and what people say in the tags #your artistry and your happiness are worth more than that #if you're an artist for a living that's another story #but even then #even then #anyways sorry i'm done ranting

actually insane

#like tell me this isn’t striaght out of a fucking movie #like wtf #i will literaly never move on #like there literally enacting the whole “he’s singing on a stage but it’s all for one person” trope #like misha sitting ON THE FLOOR looking at up him #the nod misha gives #jensen staring at misha at the begining #than jensen looking at misha and getting all flustered and stopping #like hello wtf??? #and this is all after the “so do i” comment i think #like fr insanity #idk how people don’t see it i’m sorry #misha collins #jensen ackles #cockles

The LAYERS needed in a modern/human Dreamling au.  Some level of Endless family dysfunction, obviously.  Hob's family can be be dead or not, it's all good. Are they old enough to have individually gained the awareness they are off-puttingly intense and should hide it a bit at first, or still in that "no, why would I need to Elsa this" stage?

Option A is both of them trying to play it cool, like "don't scare him off" except they so badly want to go from zero to sixty.

(Death and Desire have ruthlessly drilled Dream with flashcards about how to react appropriately in situations.

Desire: it's your one-month anniversary, what do you do?

Dream: [hesitantly] NOT propose?

Desire and Death, conferring, because that's technically correct but the delivery was suspect.

Death, encouragingly: Good start. And?


Dream: a nice dinner and maybe a walk?

Desire: well done!

Death: and for a three-month anniversary?


Dream: give them a key to my flat.

Desire: [airhorn] NO. RED CARD.)

Option B makes them the classic anecdotal "my grandparents got engaged within seven days of meeting each other and still are happy together".

(Death, rubbing her temples: so you met this guy--

Dream: Hob

Death: -- Hob, and within 1 day you gave notice to the Registrar's Office and figured out the best day to get married. And Hob agreed to this?

Dream: NO.

Death: oh thank go-

Dream: Hob SUGGESTED this.

Death: . . .

Dream: are you going to be a witness or not?

Death, 29 days later in the Registrar's Office, to Hob's witness: Is he sane?

Johanna Constantine, drinking heavily from a large flask: unfortunately yes, by all legal definitions.

Death: fuck

Johanna: [passing the flask over] if your brother's even a tenth as intense as Hob, they'll be fine. Probably.

Death, brightening: Is Hob that bad?


Johanna: You know how sometimes you meet somebody and think "oof, they're a bit much, best give them a wide berth"?


Death: yeah.

Johanna: Hob's like a camouflaged hole in the ground of muchness. Except he's done the hole up all nice and he knows that sometimes you just want to be left alone in the hole to sulk and rattle the spikes for a bit, and occasionally get a F&M hamper tossed in.

Death: [hmmmmmmm'ing approvingly]

Johanna, morose: the bastard.

In the background, Hob and Dream are pressing their foreheads together and basking in each other's presence)

#dreamling #the sandman #it's underappreciated how many red flags hob probably is buried under his amiable exterior #he looked at dream of the endless and went 'yeah' #not even as a 'i can make him better' #very much as a 'i can vibe with his current state and frankly even if he was worse i'd still be like that's my husband [shrug emoji]' #'what am i supposed to do? i knew who he was when i married him' #everybody around them: [extremely done with their shit] STOP ENABLING HIM #hob: he's my goth sweetheart #dream's entire family: he's ten sulking cats in eyeliner and a dramatic coat #hob: i know :D i love him! #johanna constantine is like 'hob's insane' #and everybody's going 'oh no don't be so mean he's just a little boring next to dream' #johanna: he saw dream being dream and went 'i need to stamp my name on him. how do i permanently tie us together' #johanna: he'd never safety pin a condom but i can just see the gears turning in hob's head about how to get to spend more time with dream #johanna: just radiating smug contentment over his insane wet cat #hob: i cannot wait to spend the next 60 years with that man #hob: and ideally die in our sleep together still holding hands #death and johanna: [staring at him over their fourth round of drinks] #dream: [heart of eyes and pink of cheeks] #dream: we should never not be holding hands #hob: okay but what if occasionally we stop holding hands just to then appreciate the feeling of starting to hold hands again #dream: [mulling] acceptable #death and johanna could probably start an entire benefriends or actual romantic relationship entirely based on judging dreamling

holding Bakugou’s face in your hands and singing the cheesiest songs to him and watching him try to complain about everything even though he can’t help but love how everything sounds and how pretty your mouth is and admire how your lips curve around that one word. gets so entranced at the sight and sound of you, he doesn’t even realize how heavy his head has gotten in your palm, how low his eyes are, and how red his cheeks have gotten <3

#this was a self ship post but I got too embarrassed ajshdkdj #anyway you sing in love with you by erykah badu and he gets so sweet n soft n lax in your hold #or giving him a scalp massage while humming a love song under your breath #he’s PUTTY #you try to do this w Eiji and he tries to sing with you and throws you off #bc he’s so goddamn adorable but so damn tone deaf lmfao #I never talk about him but you do the same w shouto #and he’s just kinda staring at you and you think he doesn’t like it #but you try to pull away and he’s grabbing your wrist back and goes #‘why’d you stop? that was extremely relaxing. could you do another?’ #I would melt on the spot #love singing to my favs if that wasn’t obvious #okay gn a few eps some bnha are airing dubbed tonight and I’m ready to catch up some ^_^ #I think it’s the episode where bkg wakes up in the hospital???? #—new treat in the streets! 🍫 #bakugou treats! 🍬

one thing about ian? he loves mickey’s laugh, like the genuine belly laugh that mickey does when he smiles really big and his eyes squint. he knows it’s rare for him to do it (not as rare as when they were kids but still rare) and when he does, ian finds himself just staring at him and taking it all in, amazed at how lucky he got.

i mean look at it!! and look and ian admiring him!!

#they make me unwell #i will never not thinking about them #ian loves to just stare at him and i am right and you won’t change my mind #mickey milkovich #ian gallagher #shameless #gallavich #mickey milkovich never stop smiling #gallavich headcanon

Bad ending

#my art #smile for me #smile for me game #kamal bora #Replayed the game recently cause my switch version arrived! #Made the terrible decision to do the bad ending after getting the good one twice and I FULLY FORGOT Kamal showed up in that one #Let me tell you the visual of him standing so far away staring at you after you just exploded Habit is NEVER going to stop haunting me #I will be on my death bed and in my dying old lady voice I will croak out ‘my bad Kamal’ before leaving this mortal plane

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

it’s been a week now and i’m still not even remotely over the fact miles kane came into the crowd and fucking spoke to me 😭😭😭

#i will probably never be over it actually #(even if it was for like 0.5 seconds and my eloquent response was just to stare at him and go ‘what??’ 😭) #also i’m sorry i’ll probably never stop being insufferable over gig posts either #it was just such an incredible gig #quite possibly the best i’ve ever been to 💞💞💞 #take me back pls #miles kane #omb tour #swg3 glasgow 2024 #my show #lulu posts

Perhaps some Cherik if you're fond of Xmen?

Or Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from TGCF for that juicy love story?

I feel like a sommelier, but ships instead of wine.

9/12 - Don't come into my house an make me care about Cherik in 2023 😭😭 Seriously this was my first ship ever, this is where I learned to sail!! And at the time I didn't really draw yet, I'm. Excuse me I feel a need and emotions 🥺🥺

#x men #charles xavier #erik lehnsherr #x men days of future past #it was this and not first class or their old versions because i enjoyed charles depression look in this movie + his relationship with logan #also don't get me started on that movie I WILL cry it is brilliant #god this whole prequel trilogy came out TWELVE YEARS AGO #and I'm still softee #also look at them and then look at my favourite tropes and then stare into the distance because OH #I didn't think of cherik and years and I was instantly gobsmacked by love #also why does it feel that x men in general never stops to be relevant like seriously
