#fanart #sketch #my art #bnha #shigaraki tomura #league of villains #tenko shimura #hana shimura #happy birthday tomura #even if rn it seems it's the worst birthday of his #I'm still processing that chapter #and I wanted to draw something nice so this seemed like a good idea #wanted to add something sad to just memorise this day #but instead just got myself to listen to Omori ost while drawing #and I feel like I won't be able to draw Tomura even if I tried #it's too much rn #I'm way better than in the morning #but it's still tough #it's 10 minutes untill his birthday is over in my timezone #it's... *sigh* #I need a break #anyway #I hope he'll be okay #wherever he is right now #Also update since I forgot to mention I realized that's it's basically my first time successfully drawing Hana

James Spader playing Jack Lawson in his Broadway debut as the star of David Mamet's Race, which ran from December 2009 to August 2010

#boston legal ended 2008. race started 2009. welcome back alan shore #my deepest desire in the world is for jim to do another broadway show... literally nothing I wouldn't give to make that happen 🥺 #james spader #race #stage #* #read the play this morning hmmm. as with most mamet works I'm sure it's better coming from the actors' mouths rather than the page #which appears to be true from the few short clips available online and reviews #but this was jim's first stage work in decades and he got rave reviews 🎉 #when he takes off his jacket...... gd his body he looks so good and he way he touches himself. he's so solid I need to hug him #and his hair falling out 🤤

Like an open book

It is 4:30am, my Air Conditioning unit sounds like a washing machine on full power, and it is simply impossible to sleep, so let’s write a Nook X Reader, hm?

Tom Nook X Island Rep/GN!Reader

In which you eat dirt

“I see you...innocently running in a great field...” 

“They respond right away this time...”

Another quiet day was slowly winding to a close outside Resident Services windows as Tom Nook relaxed back into his chair, stretching his paws over the desk.

Across from him, his peppy assistant Isabelle was taking the down time to catch up on some novel one of the residents had recommended to her. Just watching her expressions, Nook had picked up the plot considerably. It was a romance, never too steamy and hardly sweet, somewhere near the middle the main hunk had betrayed the story’s maiden in some major way, and now, three chapters to the end, he way dying.

Tom was never sure if he was just remarkable at reading faces, or if young Isabelle was just too easy to read. He’d wondered if he was once that expressive, wearing a story on his face and he walked naively through life.

Looking back, it was probably fine that he had, and would have been better if he’d continued to do so.

Movement outside the front window pulled Nook from memory lane; The Island Rep was whizzing through the main plaza, a to-go coffee from Brooster’s in one hand, a gift from one resident to another in the other.

Now that was youth, Tom thought to himself, acting to stretch as he stood and made way to get closer to the window. The rep had practically built this island with their own two hands, and now spent their time running from one corner to the next, filling the museum with every bug, fish, fossil, and painting they could get their hands on.

They were quiet the feat, weren’t they? So vibrant, goal oriented, and caring to the other residents. They didn’t complain about the ludicrous amount of work assigned to them. If Nook were a younger man, he might have helped share that burden more evenly, spent less time in the tent and more time in the grass pulling weeds, planting flowers, and picking fruit.

Tom was once again snapped from past regrets by swift movement out the window. Still hot coffee spilled across the brick of the square, seeping into a gift wrapped apology gift that would probably have to be returned to the sender.

The Island Rep lay face down in the center of the square, still and flat. No one else was around to see them trip and catch the ground with their face, only Nook, who stood frozen at the window.

“Mr. Nook? What happened?” Isabelle half closed her book and looked up, sensing the sudden stillness.

Tom didn’t answer, instead rushing as fast as his old but not quiet middle aged old joints were willing to let him go. Isabelle, who’d at most seen Nook pretend race walk after his boys, was reasonably startled by his hurry, and quickly followed him.

Outside, the Rep had finally recovered enough to start pushing themselves up on their hands. Tom stood by to offer assistance, a quiet “Are you okay?” on his lips, though overly concerned thoughts of bruised ribs and knocked out teeth ran through his head at mach speed. They didn’t have a doctor on the island, why didn’t they have a doctor on the island?

The Island Rep pushed themselves to their feet, smiling and waving off Nook, “I’m fine, I’m fine” They said, which was simply not true, as it normally isn’t when one catches themselves on rough stone chin first.

Tom was rather surprised Isabelle hadn’t shrieked loud enough to alarm the entire island.

The Rep’s chin was gashed, bleeding down on their shirt. The cut matched their smile, wide and red and prominently centered in the face. It was the kind of wound that’d probably need stitches, not something one should just walk away with.

Which they almost did, mind you.

The Rep laughed off their fall and thanked Nook for checking on them all while picking up the trashed to-go coffee cup and delivery. If the adrenaline from the fall had worn off, they sure didn’t show it, as they continued on about having to bring the gift back to it’s sender, the clothing inside completely ruined with coffee.

“m-Mayor...” Isabelle looked as though she might faint, which was a fair reaction to have to such a mess on their peaceful town, “Y-You-r.. Your ch-chin...”

The Rep, or as Isabelle may address them as a left over from their previous town together, The Mayor, began to reach up to their chin, a question on their face. Tom stepped in quicker than expected, pressing his personal pocket hankie to the wound instead. The Island Rep flinched at the pressure.

So they can feel pain. That’s a good sign, probably.

“Hold this here.” Tom Nook spoke in a tone that held no room for argument, as his rep did as they were told, pressing the cloth into their chin with enough force to stop the bleeding.

“Isabelle,” Nook addressed, the younger jumping to attention, finally taking her eyes off their mayor, “Can you handle resident services alone for a bit? I’m going to take the rep to the HHP island, they have a hospital there.”

The words of protest started on the rep’s lips, and were stopped dead in their tracks by a look from Tom. They swallowed, and looked anywhere by at Nook, shifting the cloth on their chin.

“O-Oh. Y-Yes I will be fine!” Isabelle stood to attention and saluted, eyes shut firmly in a fit of determination.

Tom nodded and placed a paw on his rep’s shoulder, turning them to the airport, “I’m counting on you. And please return this if you have a moment.” He spoke, handing Isabelle the ruined present the Rep had been delivering.

Isabelle nodded, taking the coffee soaked gift, “I’ve got it! Have a safe flight!” She waved, beaming with confidence at being left alone in Resident Service.

Nook never took his paw off The Island Representative’s, his representive, your shoulder as he spoke to Orville about booking a flight. The flightless bird having much the same reaction as Isabelle to the gash in your chin, which you’d shown him unprompted by uncovering Nook’s kerchief just enough when Orville caught your eye.

On the plane his paw was on your knee, then thigh, into your hand. The whole time his leg bounced as he stared out the window. You wondered what kind of crazy nerves were rattling in that fuzzy head of his. What loops was he taking himself through scared for you, the island, poor Isabelle and Orville. What would Lottie say, he must be asking himself.

Perhaps he was planning to have the pavement in the plaza evened out, shaved down, or even pay to have it full repaved more flat. No more loose, uneven bricks, smooth clean concrete. But that wouldn’t look very pretty would it? And it would take time, and bells, and inconvenience those who needed Resident Services at all hours.

You leaned ever so slightly onto Nook, holding his paw between your fingers, watching him mentally go over every possible option to make sure a disaster like this never happens again, that everyone involved was properly compensated, and that you, oh so important you, recovered comfortably so you could be back on your feet, sprinting from here to there however you pleased as soon as possible.

“I see you...innocently running in a great field...” Katrina’s fortune from this morning played in your head as you closed your eyes, “I see a lost seagull sailor in need of help...” She’d said. You didn’t quiet understand at the time. Luck in Friendship, Misfortune in Health.

With Tom Nook’s paw finally relaxing in your hand, the flight calming the Tanuki’s anxieties, you supposed now it made a bit more sense.

#Emile's Writing #Tom Nook X Reader #Animal Crossing X Reader #Finish time: 5:30am #WHOLE ASS HOUR BABY I HAVE THINGS TO DO TOMORROW #This is now where I thought I'd be tonight but I could not stop thinking about face planting it in Animal Crossing anymore #My Yandere Nook thoughts have left my brain I am on about to have an internal panic attack at all times Nook now #APPARENTLY #Old man Nook thinks he's so stoic and old and worn out #He's just the same 'ol Nook #Still over bearing and caring and considerate and a little in his own head about things #He's getting better he's getting better but her certainly thinks he's past his prime #'You could do better than an old worn out Tanuki like me' he'd say #He doesn't see the way he lights up at every big accomplishment you two share in #He doesn't hear his laugh with your ears or see his smile with your eyes #He sees a worn old man who spent his youth hating a world that's tricked him #'It's rotten work' 'Not to me. Not if it's you.' #I'm sorry I'm having weirdly soft for Tom Nook hours tonight it's almost 5:40 now I have to go to Church in the morning with this brain #My AC was making a scary noise alright???

I have the ability to draw. I have the ability to draw anything I want. I can draw all sorts of things and nobody can stop me. This is a threat.

#I can draw... #anything #granted my art style may not be that good but I can always learn #and what better way to learn to draw than by drawing? #Case in point I can draw something and nobody can stop me. #It's four in the morning can you tell I'm sleep deprived?

poäng appreciation post 💛

#i forget if i said but Baby Sister and i stopped off at ikea on the way back from picking her up at the bus stop on monday #and finally replaced the ruined-by-a-succession-of-cats-(in-ways-both-unsightly-and-gross) Accent Chair in the living room #with a poäng rocker (bc the shape is a little more interesting and less instantly recognizable than the regular chair) in birch (my beloved #also they make fancy tufted cushions for it now! wish they came in more colors but it's a real improvement on sad options past #and anyway it's like. now you can actually sit here in the morning and look out the window at the extremely beautiful view #and the chair actually supports you??? like i could see down the road trying to work out some kind of custom cushioning that's thicker #but the shape of the frame is so ergonomic for me that it's genuinely quite comfortable regardless. bentwood exocorset… #anyway. not a very original post but i just DO really love ikea #like yes it's a mixed bag but also honestly if you're buying particle board— #(i was going to say 'and expecting it to hold up' but. honestly i think it's just. if you're buying particle board period) #—that might be on you. #(like. if you're being pressed in from all sides by budget constraints and immediate need and no accessible better-made used alternatives— #obviously you do what you have to. but it's like buying pleather—you know‚ or should‚ that the material is going to disintegrate.) #but the things ikea makes with decent materials are remarkably well-designed and affordable for what they are‚ has been my sense? #you just gotta shop carefully but like. that's true literally everywhere. #anyway. in conclusion i love my new buddy with its clean lines. …do people name chairs ever. #i've never before had the urge but this one feels like a little assembly-line friend that deserves its own identity. like a star wars clone #(lol what if i gave it a little nametag somewhere hidden. secret identity talisman 4 chairpal.) #(& yes i promise i'm as aware of the‚ uh‚ itself-ness of this tag spiral as you are. :) ) #domesticities

[jackredfieldwasmyjacob]

this happened yesterday at the right-wing protests btw. and there's people that'd rather have these people in the government before independentist parties. en fin.

#pretends to be shocked etc #of course nothing happened to them #i've also read something andrés suárez reported this morning. basically yesterday they also beat up a friend of his who was #having dinner where the protests were happening. with her girlfriend #so yeah. i'm so very glad perro sanxe is once again the president #he's not ideal but he's way better than feijóo and the nazis

Man, this doujin isn't fucking around

Meanwhile, Seikuri in the background...

Doujin: Flashbackers by Totobe

#my ramblings #bocchi the rock #no fr tho. please read flashbackers!! it's so good! #it's a ryokita doujin made by one of my fave artist and everything about it is just...so great. I can't express it enough #whether you ship ryokita or not it's still a good read! like really it's well articulated and goes in depth about ryo & kita's relationship #and acknowledges how unhealthy it is but the realization of this makes the both of them understand each other more clearly without- #-seeing through rose colored glasses. I just- ughhh! I'm not good with words and I can't stress it enough so once again please read this! #you can really tell how much this artist is passionate and dedicated about the ship #not only that but how they color the cover page (and their art in general) is JUST SO CATCHING! LITERAL EYE CANDY! #and the pacing and panelling of the story is well thought out plus the equal balance of humor and angst is so entertaining & heart wrenchin #and their art style... fricking adorable and expressive and striking!! Just grrr!! I LOVE THIS ARTIST'S WORK SO MUCH!!! #I'm not that particularly crazy about ryokita but they are very interesting to explore and could have some potential if they worked out- #-their own flaws. I've been meaning to draw them sometime (if only I could start posting decent bnj art- #-tfw hyper fixation so strong it overwhelms you and in turn can't make fanart of it even if you most definitely WANT TO) #ehem. anyways I think it's quite criminal that ryokita was one of the least popular btr ships #in other story. I was woken up by my cat way to early today so I ended up reading this in a half awake state XD #I just found out last night that this doujin was already translated so what better time to read this other than first thing in the morning- #-running on three hours of sleep 😃👍

[quarklynx]

So I started reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

...I get it now. They're gay but they're not, but they're soulmates but they hate each other's guts

#lynx thinks #orv spoilers #kinda #i read the entire webtoon in two days and then started reading the webnovel version when i ran out of that #so all in all im at chapter 183 now #this bitch really does just throw himself at a situation to solve it huh #he just keeps dying and then finding new ways to not die #I'm so invested tho #the webtoon really helped to get me into it bc it's paced so efficiently and compellingly #and the story is fascinating #im now realizing that some other webtoons ive read may have been slightly inspired by this story #but this one is way better than those ones #i do wonder whether it actually gets gay or if it's just the oodles of subtext and more overt implication #i also am curious if it's finished or not?? #questions for morning me to consider tho. this story has kept me up past 2 for several nights now #i work on my sewing commission for most if the day so the evening is the main time i get to reaaaad ovo #... it's so late already tho. how bad could it be to just read one more chapter?

well i told myself one am was my limit i suppose

#actually what i said to myself was if i'm still up when nick is posting his fic i've done something wrong. um #it's fine though i'm actually almost done... i am in SUCH a better spot than i was this morning #and SVETLANA ART beautiful world FOREVER i love svetlana....... #tomorrow i may still die but for unrelated reasons. old dutch people reasons more likely #i had a weird day in general today actually... weird week in fact. dude i'm SO tired #jay bedtime world and then tomorrow i'll just like pass away in front of the cross. that'd be a cool way to die actually. goodnight <3 #.txt

Why is the Don Bluth art style so hard to mimic lmao, I've been practicing for what feels like ages and I've only made one sketch I think actually looks good lol

#not a vent post! I'm not like frustrated it's just a lot harder than i hoped it'd be lol #I'm trying to practice that style because i think the way they do expressions and body language is really compelling #and i especially need more practice drawing anthro animals #besides. if i ever get good at it i can draw my favorite characters in that style. like the guy who does Don Bluth Seinfeld videos #unironically an inspiration to me i think that it's so fun to take silly guys and draw them in a style you love #i have done one (1) drawing of Vicoros in the Don Bluth style that i think turned out good but I'll probably wait until morning to post it #so that more people see it lol #I'm actually kinda proud of how it came out for a practice run #but y'know! i can always improve and I'm sure I'll get better at it with time lol

[nexus-nebulae]

everyone thinks I'm so insane for this but like genuinely i want a hospital bed like. at home. i want to sleep in a hospital bed. i prefer it

#its just. a lot of things make it so much better/easier for me in the morning #The fact that i can make the bed sit up for me makes it so much easier to take my morning meds #and sitting it up makes it easier for me to stand #the mattress at the hospital i stayed at the other day was like. an air mattress that adjusted to how you were laying #and that's absolutely perfect for my joint problems like i didn't wake up in pain from crushing my hips while laying on my side #and honestly having a call light sort of thing that i could press for help is way easier than summoning the mental power to text someone #like i know this is fuckin weird but. i really like staying at the hospital its nicer there #i guess I'm also really lucky to live near a really nice hospital that i know is usually always safe #and the people there are usually really nice too it's a good hospital #it's cause it's near the Rich Neighbourhood of my area so it's funded well and stuff

[found--family]

😪

#ugh. just wasted my whole morning reading a fic that promised to be better than it was #if the tags and summary and hits and kudos were anything to go bt #plush I've read a couple things by thia authors before but this one was the longest #and while the plot set up to go one way it went multiple other ways which was annoying #but it also had the worst canon side characters I've read in a while - beloved characters but #they were shoehorned into the narrative in ways that didn't suit age or dynamics let alone characterisation (ooc reads are the worst imho) #there seems to be plenty of folks who like this fic and to each their own #i just wish i hadn't held out hope that it would get better not worse. #it felt like a caricature. and now I'm wondering if I liked their shorter fics years ago but my tastes have changed #but their style also doesn't suit these long narratives. #y'know that feeling you get after reading a really well written fic? i wanted that feeling. #instead i was left feeling out of sorts and disappointed and irritated. ugh. #it's literally the perfect day for reading: a rainy cool winter day! after 95% sunshine this winter I'd just like to enjoy #proper winter weather the way its meant to be enjoyed: curled up with a good fic. #😪 #thoughts

#ohhhh puppy training would be going so much better if i didn't live with my mom #every day she complains to me that ouppy wont settle in his crate and keeps crying #and every night she drags me out of bed/stops me getting ready for bed to take him for a little walk #god forbid she does it herself. she has Important Things to do in the morning #never mind that his crate is in her room so she can't sleep until he's back anyway #and shes like 'why doesnt he settle its so annoying are you sure he doesnt have to pee what if he has secret baby trauma abt crates' #and i say no. none of the above. he keeps crying in his crate bc you consistently reward it. #he keeps crying bc things like attention and walks and treats are Very Rewarding and you have taught him that he gets these things by crying #why the fuck would he stop it literally always works out for him??? #but ofc if i say any of this I'm simply not taking into account that this is difficult for her #because she has Important Things to do in the morning and she's Very Tired #and I'm exaggerating a bit here bc I'm angy and she does do way more shit than me and it IS fucking annoying #but I'm so completely out of sympathy bc she brought this on herself. our trainer told her how to make this stop and she is choosing not to
