#The Lady Gets Lucky

[yeehawpim]

would love to see what you have to say on the life-drawing! it's always so interesting to hear what other artists have to say on their skills and journeys, and there's always more to learn in this world, a fact which i am forever quite fond of

#q&a #lots of life drawing helped me a lot with drawing ppl #i was lucky that my school made sure to get a variety of body types tho I still wish there was more haha #everyone's so frickin pretty there was an older lady that came in who used to do ballet and her hand/arm poses were so fun to draw #my art

if we were to look at it through a racial lens, I do find it very interesting that Jupe’s wife is white. that the audience at Star Lasso are majorly white. that he’s basically robbing the Haywoods, a black family, of their horses to feed them to an alien creature for white people’s entertainment. that he was the token asian adoptee in sitcom as a child. the model minority. fitting himself back into a system that used and failed him as a child, so he can find some semblance of respect and power as an adult man, only to still be swallowed up whole.

#the starlight group were white yeah? I only saw it in cinemas a day ago so still fuzzy but I don’t recall many other poc #still. thinking about it. special vs lucky #but what’s the difference between being named an animal and being treated like an animal. isn’t it the same thing? it just looks different #it just sounds different. being special. getting lucky. is there a true division or does it just have the same result sometimes? #I’m not saying that like. Jordan Peele thinks interracial marriage is a sign of hating yourself that’s stupid #but when Jupe specifically gets married to a white lady and lives in the neo-west #which is heavily associated (fairly or not) with white people and white suburbia #I think it does say something about him. he still needs them to like him. it’s like a sickness #nope #nope 2022 #nope movie #nope film #ricky park #ricky jupe park #jupe park

I’ve been dreaming of this pose since last sunday

#dragon age #dragon age 2 #fenris #hawke #fenhawke #kerry #ndo sta l'art tag #my playlist while drawing this was like #I should be so lucky - easy lady - boys boys boys #aka those kind of super catchy energetic songs from the 80s that you can't get rid of unless you hit your head purposefully #also these two omg I never give them enough room in this blog #go! be free my little chickens #until the legit rulers of boredom come back #ur a free range fenhawke now go peck the ground or whatever

The "Can I be a king's councillor and build castles" to "Lady of Winterfell and helping to rebuild the North after the Long Night" pipeline is real

#arya stark #asoiaf #I do think Arya would make an amazing councillor + it fits and prob the biggest thing that makes me think she won't #is that she directly states she wants to be that and that feels a little on the nose even for George #it could still be an in-universe subversion though since it isn't considered a typical thing for a Lady to be #but she /could/ also be one for a time by being on King in the North!Jon's council 🤩 #I would also give my left kidney for Queen Dany with Arya on her council but I'm not lucky enough to get that 😔 #King!Rickon with Arya as his council would also eat too though #so many options and I would love them all as long as Arya isn't reduced to serving another character and she gets her own agency #Thank God George loves her character and would never downplay her like that

Heron: Is there any one here who’s actually straight?

Beakley: *puts her hand up*

Goldie:*shaking her head puts her hand back down*

#22 was a girl in DENIAL #for a looong while #but lucky heron (and strangely Goldie) were able to show her the light #perhaps that’s not quite the right phrasing when referring to those two deviant ladies #they corrupted her #and honestly I thank them for it #bec confident lesbian Beakley who kicks ass and gets bitches is the woman we all deserve #she’s to brilliant to be in the closet #I mean just think abt her #she’s fucking fab #black heron #goldie o'gilt #bentina beakley #22 #lesbians

crashes ur board meeting n drags u out by the collar but its fine bc youre the one always saying shit like "im looking for people i can use" ok lol. get used idiot

#just tracing like. the sequence of events that had to take place in order for this to come to pass #1. natori and his shiki are skulking around homura stalking ban. possibly it's just his shiki and natori is elsewhere. #either way 2. natsume shows up and natori learns about it either bc he witnesses it or a shiki comes to tell him #3. natori gets in his little richard scarry apple car (this is my mental image for some reason) & fucking. BOOKS IT to the matoba compound #4. goes inside. presumably matoba lackeys try to stop him bc their boss is in an important meeting but somehow he gets past them #(possibilities here are v fun to think about. maybe natori does this all the time and they're used to it. maybe he's never done it before #but they're all on orders to let natori in if he ever shows up. maybe natori convinces them he's supposed to be IN the meeting #which is great because it sounds like some important clan thing so what is he in the clan now??) #5. interrupts matoba's meeting like 'i need you' and matoba's like 'bye everyone whatever this is is more important' #6. they get in natori's comical apple car (again the apple car is not canon don't worry about it) #& natori drives like a bat out of hell back to homura. (SOURCE: matoba is so scarred he refuses natori's offer for a ride later) #i wonder what they talk about on the way there? because they don't talk about why natori is stalking ban until much later #so they must be busy talking about something else. but what?? #that or they're both too distracted by all the near-death experiences from natori's crazed driving lol #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #homura cats arc #horrible exorcists #my posts #sidenote i feel like that page at the end where both matoba and sensei refuse natori's offers of a ride is really funny because #sensei's reason is that it will take too long. but sensei did you know natori drives like a speed demon? think it thru... #also like. how long did it take him to decide to involve matoba? was that his backup plan all along? #also it's pretty lucky that he found matoba at all considering he could be anywhere...the matoba have like 15 houses... #he has matoba's schedule memorized lol #natori sparkling to the assorted clan members in the meeting: sorry ladies and gentlemen i just need to borrow this~ #*throws matoba over his shoulder and fireman-carries him to the parking lot*

So, how do these women get lucky enough to meet and marry these rock stars? Even the ones who are somewhat retired? I mean, are they hygienists and they randomly meet them when cleaning their teeth and ask them out at the dentist? Are they veterinarians and they meet when they take their dogs in? Or are they dog groomers, and they meet them taking their dog for a haircut? Are they wardrobe stylist or costumers and meet them when styling them? Do they sell motorcycles or ride in a motorcycle club? Do they own a neighboring avocado farm? They're probably really brilliant writers and they read their book and wanted to meet them. Do you have to be European? (I believe Izzy's wife is French, his ex-wife was Swedish, and he also dated an English woman. Yeah, I think you have to be foreign for Izzy to spend years with you.) Do you have to be an ex-girlfriend from when they were really young and not yet successful? (Evidently Slash and Meegan?) Do they get set up on a date with them? (I know that happened with Duff McKagan and his wife.) Are they on exclusive dating websites for rich or famous people? (I think that's how Tommy Lee's wife or girlfriend met him.) Are they their real estate agents and meet that way? Are they dog or horse breeders and they meet them when they are buying a purebred dog or horse? I mean, I get they have to at least be attractive and have a great personality. But come on, man, lol. What the hell, lol?! How do they get so lucky to be in the right place at the right time? ; D

whenever magic queen is heading home from a trip, she calls ahead. by the time she gets there, ice king usually already has popcorn ready and is waiting in the library. the two of them spend the entire night sharing what theyve been working on while apart. notes on ancient artifacts and civilizations and music and fanfiction.

its become tradition for them over the last 900 years.

#adventure time #betty grof #simon petrikov #wizard married au #ice king listening to magic queen infodump about a cursed jewel for 3 hours: wow what a lady. howd i get this lucky <3 #magic queen listening to ice king read his fanfic out loud to her: wow what a man. howd i get this lucky <3

my method of "getting better" has just been Do Everything Possible and latch onto whatever gives you any sense of purpose and/or joy. and i guess it's been working because i am definitely not in quite the same place that i was a few yrs ago

#like i have tried so many things #any opportunity for trying a thing that is supposed to be helpful is met with ''yeah sure why not'' #counselors love me for it LMFAO #''its impressive that you're willing to try these things :)'' girl if i dont then I'll kill myself. it's not gonna hurt me to try #if it goes badly then i have a breakdown and maybe hurt myself but then i immediately move onto the next thing #and i can always draw shitty art. thats always there for me. i can rotate my OCs in my brain. i can watch a show or listen to a podcast #those are always available if nothing else works out #and maybe it helps that i have a deadline of ''if life is still intolerable by x time then you can kill urself'' dhfjdkl #operating by that makes me want to put in more effort bc theres a time limit #also doing all these things has given me a sense of identity outside of having irl ppl around me #i couldnt control that for a long time (very very very lucky to have joined the old lady group recently) so i had to make do #and it is hard and it is scary and it is very often nearly unbearably lonely. but when u throw urself headfirst into ur own stuff #then u don't focus so much on the Aloneness of it all. and also u get to post abt ur hobbies and stuff and make friends online that way #idk !!! it is a hard spot to pull urself out of but taking a single step at a time is incredibly helpful #trying things and doing things and keeping on trucking gets u thru it one way or another #pippen needs 2nd breakfast #suicide mention

hi i���ve got too many dovesso fic ideas so posting a really short one instead of doing hwk to empty my brain and drafts a little lolz <3

-

Somehow, Lesso had reluctantly agreed to let Dovey give her a tour of the grounds in the school for good. She had turned the invitation down at first, claiming that she had 'seen it a million times from her window'.

And she had, the evergirls swirling fingers in a wish pond and the everboys battling with flimsy swords on white horses. Lesso was also not interested.

But Dovey wouldn't give up, telling her more about magical fish and pretty flowers.

"Fine, fine, fine." Lesso had replied, and so now, a week later, she was trudging through the picturesque garden, watching birds flutter around a lake. She glanced around, unimpressed by the landscape.

At least there weren't any ever students around, she supposed.

"Leonora!" Dovey called from a mile away, a few minutes later. "Look, the bird's feeling unwell!"

She walked over to the side of a fountain, where she saw that a bird was, indeed, feeling unwell, indicated by its somewhat croaky chirping. Suppressing a rather insensitive comment about the bird, Lesso asked, "What're you going to do with it?"

Dovey scooped up the bird and started walking towards the castle.

"Dovey!"

She followed the woman into the good school- and somehow, she had ended up adding helping a sick bird to the list of things Dovey had somehow roped her into doing.

Looking around the room as Clarissa bathed the bird, she sighed disinterestedly.

"You know, I'm sick too." Lesso faked a rather revolting cough. "I should be taken care of like the bird."

Dovey looked at her, rolling her eyes; however, she did lean in and peck her lips.

"There." She said, patting her shoulder. "Now bring me a towel."

Leonora turned away with a hint of a smile on her face.

hey unkle neen! ik it was just their name frm the show, but your fix have so much meaning in them, i was wondering if there was a reason that the name crimson dawn was chosen? ^^

AAAAAAAA!!!! okay, i will answer your ( very iconique ) question in a second, but before i do i just want to say that the way you set it up and lightly interlaced ur ask with letting me know that you notice and appreciate me taking small concepts from the show and giving them larger meaning/context within my fanfictions was so sweet n really, Really means A LOT to me!!!! like i am cheesing so hard rn!!! :') <3

i.g. plots coming full circle, extended metaphors, mirroring, flashbacks and flashforwards...i really like being thorough, going into microscopically specific detail abt everything...but more than that:

i want the Nice things i write...

to Mean stuff to my readers.

& for the stuff i write to mean something, it can't mean nothing.

this is specifically true in the area of names, which seems kind of insane, but even like something as minute as stan's maternal grandfather's name being joaquin and shortened to 'walk' by william phillips, stan's abuelos secret sbf lover in ww2, and stan's middle-name-sake who walk called run, is important because will-phil's war-torn, heirloom leather jacket which was given to stan's gpa seconds before run did what all white men should do ( go die in a war ) had now become Stan's Signature Leather Jacket, which was a huge ( like literally its gigantic ) part of his identity as a young transman but in a meptahorical sense, that red string of fate that tipsy!gpa!walk hand embroidered into the tag of his lover's jacket which stan wore with pride ( also literally ) is a physical testament to two men's true blue love for each other, represents revolution/rebirth & also says R-U-N.

...which is Exactly what stan does.

also i could talk for literal days about stan's chosen name being stan or even just stan's stage name being raven and all the variations of that and cuervo specifically from chapter four ( i was so fucking excited when we got to that chapter i was like ;)) It's GO Time, Boys! )

but that could fit in an entire other ask meme and i am trying not to let my oddly intense and sudden influx/rush of random RM Rockstar Ravenstan hyperfixation burn everything down around me like...

~The You Know What.~

which! was what i was trying 2 get at when talkin abt names and stuff because while in a deeper, under the surface sense, crimson dawn represents what the sky looked like the day stan died -- blood red.

it was a Crimson Dawn when all hell broke lose that day.

( which i can't talk about in too much detail juust yet... )

***[ tw for blood, fluids and general gender dysphoria ]

but what i can do is tell you why the name crimson dawn was chosen, which, is ironic ( emphasis iron ) bc has that ~sharp, smarmy, sultry, smoldery, shadowy, Superstar smokeshow~ energy to it and sounds like it's stands for something all deep and dark and brooding...

but rlly is just from an inside joke about the first song stan ever wrote

Blood Moon™

which he wrote on his period. ;)

hsdlkahlksahd ( i luv u soooo much, ravenstan )

so tldr they won their lil battle of the bands competition/got scouted for bm but OG CD did not have a name/whatever name they had was one of the 74093279423 ones they were trying out, so management needed one and they took stan and co.'s crude out of context inside joke abt it always being darkest before crimson dawn aka PMS as...

Cool, Dark, Edgy!

AND LITERALLY MADE IT THEIR BAND NAME!!!!! WHEN I TELL YOU THEY WERE ALL LIKE YOU DID NOT JUST NAME US AFTER OUR INSANE INSIDE JOKE ABT OUR TRANS ROOMATE WHO NOT ONLY IS NOT OUT ( DW! THEY HARD SHOVED HIM BACK INTO THE CLOSET! SO KIND OF THEM! ) BUT UR GONNA MAKE HIM DANCE AND PUT HIM IN THE ROCKSTAR VERSION OF A STRAIGHT JACKET AKA THE TINY SLUTTY VEGAN LEATHER STRAPPY PANTS??? OUR WEIRD LITTLE GUY??? ARE U KIDDING??

they...were *jersey kyle vc* Naught Kidden, btw.

and stan really did...have to learn how to dance.

...Absolutely Criminal.

but even more so, from that day forward, nevermore were our warped tour four fave broke boy shitiots bound by together by their shared rent/utilities & the butterfly tramp stamp lower back tattoo of friendship/brotherhood, because our zeroes had become heroes, now legally bound by a crooked contract that turned their dinky little no-name garage band and into chart topping punk rock super band

Crimson Dawn™

where blood moon was number one and trending for like...Weeks.

which meant they had to do interviews and stuff where stan was not very good at being raven yet ( obviously ) and drank a lot to cope, so when like, idk, fucking some big fancy talk show or whatever asked stan what blood moon was about, he was like...leans in...dead serious:

"OKAY, so you know...when you're on your Period, man? and not a light day either. i'm talking suuper heavy flow, dude. but you totally forgot your cycle was starting, so your favorite pair of sweatpants are stained like five seconds after you spent like fifteen whole quarters washing them? but its whatever. its late o-clock and no ones gonna see your fucked up chonies, bro. s'anyways, you're walking to the store because you ran out of pads and pain medication and FUCKS and like your stomach feels like you're being stabbed to death but you're still hungry? like, bro everything just sucks and on top of that, the grocery store just sold out of those dank ben & jerrys ice creams with the brownie in the center, or like, brooo, only has the those tiny whack containers that cost seven dollars?! oh, in the worst flavors too! like fuckin' cherry garcia or eugh, that awful Mint one that tastes like toothpaste if it were made out of miErDA and the full moon is out and you just want to start ripping off your clothes and tearing off your face and start fkn screaming at the top of your lungs? Yeah :). That."

aND ITS DEAD SILENT FOR A SECOND BUT THEN EVERYONE STARTS DYING LAUGHING AND IS LIKE WOW A SINGER AND A STAND UP COMEDIAN!!! LOOK AT THAT FOLKS! APOLOGIES TO OUR YOUNGER VIEWERS FOR LANGUAGE, WE'LL EDIT THAT OUT AFTER THIS, BUT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ONE THING YOU CAN'T CENSOR OUR FAV SUPER STARS BLOOD MOON RISING!

( which, blood moon and blood moon rising was also stan parodying the creedence clearwater revival song Bad Moon Rising about big cryptic apocalyptic feelings does Also play into this whole thing... )

anyways, management got REALLY MAD at stan about that but everyone thought it was a joke so it was Fine. but yeah their biggest single and their band is built on being on your period and being unhinged and wanting to smash shit and fight the government. <3

-uncle nina...who thinks waaaay Too Much about her weird lore

#sorry tw blood and gender dysphoria and body fluids and stuff like that ik thats kind of a weird hc but it was Important to me #transman stan u will always be famous #literally #like he is a disaster but he is the peoples punk rock prince #hes also so pretty and his voice is so pretty #everyone is hypnotized #speaking of stan on his period NOT THE TABLOIDS CATCHING HIM COMING OUT OF LIKE TARGET W PADS AND HIS GD ICE CREAM #and being like!!!!

Quirky representations of dementia should go die actually

#pardon me my friends i know I'm in a Good Mood today and will probably continue to be once I've taken some time to be mad/sad #but god the other night our ex-neighbour was obvs trying to comfort me #by talking bout a lady with dementia she knew who was onviously sick but in her mind she went out and did things and danced #and i was at the dinner table with my own sick lady #and therefore could not say honey. good for her i guess. #but my mum is almost aggressively trapped in her here and now #she doesn't know how to exist without us #her safe person is the husband her marriage was failing with #if we go out for five minute she panics and scratches at the door #she is sad and confused 95% of the time #content and confused the other 5% #and i can barely even visualise her as my mum anymore #because the mum who raised me would've killed herself if she knew this was coming #(like she used to tell me that. frequently tell her small child she'd rather kill herself than be unable to look after herself) #(which had a very normal impact on me I'm sure) #anyway. I'm a huge hypocrite and will still go and listen to marbles by the amazing devil and think it's the loveliest most romantic thing #and maybe some people do get lucky and find some joy in their minds when they have nothing else #but i have to just watch her brain fester and decay every day and there's just nothing quirky or beautiful about it #and all i can think is about how there's those mums who don't like raising small kids but enjoy parenthood when the kids are grown #and how that was supposed to be her #for a little while it was her #for a brief window of a couple of years she and i were each others best friend #and now she's this sad scared anxious thing shaped like my mum #who doesn't trust me as much as the man she was maybe a year or two out from leaving #and she's trapped in her brain and swiftly rotting #and it's just not cute and it's not funny #anyway #it is what it is #mr. bees speaks
