#black leg sanji #red leg zeff #one piece #comic #fanart #sanji vinsmoke #< the tag I use more often so just for easy navigation on my blog. #my dog of 17 years passed the other night and god knows I suck at processing things #I wanted a way to distract myself but I couldn’t Really distract myself so. #when I woke up after drawing this comic I hated how I wrote the end part #my brain was muddled so words weren’t coming to me the way I wanted it to #I was going to change it before posting it here but that feels… disingenuous. so I’m keeping it #my puppy’s name was Sunny. it’s silly of me but it makes me feel even closer to one piece now #anyway sorry for rambling #I miss my big baby

A more lighthearted quick comic this time, loosely based on @wikipedianna ‘s headcanon that Micolash is a cat person. I imagine he has a strange habit of yoinking the most diseased scraggly soggy stray animals right off the street, regardless of Byrgenwerth’s animal/pet policy(or any policy at all, for that matter) to keep as a spontaneous pet. I think about them a normal amount :)

#my art #bloodborne fanart #micolash host of the nightmare #laurence the first vicar #fan comic #sorry that content has been a bit slow #classes are eating up my time #and I’ve been running on 3-6 hours of sleep every day #but the brainrot still swirls and churns unending #I bet Laurence has to release the animals back to where they came from #because Micolash sure as hell won’t #let’s hope they don’t have room inspections at Byrgenwerth #realizing I really enjoy drawing them together #anyway sorry for rambling #hope you guys enjoy! #bloodborne

Me earlier before the game started because I did NOT think it would happen: “If the Chiefs win, I’ll actually start watching the next Football season.”

Me now:

Anyway, I should not have said that with witnesses present.

#lizzi talks #i make stupid promises when i think i can’t possibly be right #lmao guess i gotta learn about american football now #watch me get into a sport that doesn’t have to do with racing cars #can’t believe it #anyway sorry for rambling #but also not really #super bowl

there are many reasons Australian politics tends to be quite centrist, but to put it simply — it’s the median voter theorem + compulsory voting

the median voter theorem basically says that, in a majoritarian electoral system, there will be pressure for there to be two parties and for those parties to be as similar to each other as possible

why? because you’re trying to win over the median voter. the median voter is the person who has exactly half of all voters to the left and exactly half to the right. they’re the voter in the middle of all voters

this doesn’t always mean the middle of the left-right spectrum. except. when voting is compulsory, that’s the way it ends up. if everyone votes, you get a whole heap of centrists and/or non-political people voting as well. which increases the probability that the median voter will be a centrist

whereas, in the US for example… there are fewer centrists voting (because there’s less incentive for them to vote) AND there are fewer leftists voting (because poor people, people of colour, etc are actively discouraged/prevented from voting)… so the median voter is always going to be closer to the right-wing than the left-wing

the ability to create voter suppression will always push the median voter to the right. compulsory voting will often push the median voter to the centre. and honestly? it’s hard to find an institutional arrangement that will maintain a left-wing equilibrium

so. there you have it. this is why voting is AN important part of political participation, but not the be all and end all of political participation. activism helps to tell politicians that the median voter isn’t where they thought it was. and that really does help

There are two noticeable times in Sonic Movie 2 where Sonic's power (or "boost") seems to run out of charge, which severely slows down his speed and leaves him vulnerable.

This basically means that Sonic's full speed isn't permanent, and there is a limit to it.

#I'm very glad the writers did this #i remember when i saw the first movie i thought sonic seemed to have it way too easy #like he could just use his power and everything was effortless #case in point: the bar scene #I'm glad that Sonic's power does have a limit #because having a super powered character can make it hard to put them in a difficult situation if you make them invincible #anyway sorry for rambling #wanted to bring attention to this for so long #sonic the hedgehog #sonic the hedgehog 2 #sonic movie 2 #scu #sonic cinematic universe #super speed

it's been several hours and I'm still going bananas

#hide #i don't think I can put into words the adrenaline rush I had upon rushing to FJ from my phone and checking to see if it was still there #I'm not going to scan this (bc why would I....) ; however I WILL be taking pictures #and slapping them under the scanned tag because this was legit my other white whale (or whatever you call it) and I got it #tbh at this point I don't see myself dropping another bag like this again unless something else comes up that needs archiving that costs $$ #anyway sorry for rambling

I feel a lot of feelings at the end of the year. Fortunately I've been busy enough lately not to stew too hard, but sometimes they sneak up on me when I'm not expecting it and it really hurts.

I'm going to do my best to be kind to myself and be proud of making it through this year no matter how much I've accomplished. 💜

#self shitpost #feeling fomo about not getting into zines when people post their pieces and comparison when people post their year in review for art #and I just...managed to climb out of a hole and have to remind myself that it's okay #i didn't make anything for most of the summer and that's okay #it's...been a year #but I'm here and I'm proud of that #I also have something secret I'm working on that I hope I'll be proud of when I'm done before the end of the year so that's something #anyway sorry for rambling

'to me, that is her dream dress' 😤🙄

#this should have been a double elimination. if i was a judge i would be seething on behalf of both tessas client and jamals client #real women want to feel supported both in their clothes and in their ideas and that means incorporating Their ideas in the clothes #and making clothes that both support and celebrate their bodies #and neither of them did that #jamal's dress did not support his client's body and tessa's did not support her client's spirit and wishes #project runway #season 17 #tessa pissed me off for straight up ignoring her client and lying about it #and jamal pissed me off for giving that beautiful girl a dress that made her feel anything less than beautiful #i hope they got someone to design them new dresses #anyway sorry for rambling #this episode is 5 years old and im not even that into fashion #i just like watching this seeing beautiful clothes and getting mad at stunts like this

i'm thinking of adding character sheets as an option for commissions

the basic one would include full body character design, 2 items (like weapons or idk a plushie. stuff that the character likes or uses), and 3 close-ups of details like accessories they wear, scars they have, any small detail you'd like to enhance on.

and you could pay extra to add a portrait, a view of the characters back and/or more items.

i have a few examples of this that i've made and some ppl were interested in it. idk how much they'd be but at least 500 sek. more depending on how detailed the character design is and how i am doing the designing (like if the description is detailed or if i'm doing the character design for you from less detailed description)

#i made some for my and my wife's dnd characters #they include some tracing tho so i havent posted them #if someone commissioned one i would not trace anything #the ones i made are for personal use as a go-to when i want to draw them #anyway sorry for rambling #idk if i should add this bc its unlikely i'll be getting any commissions at all :( #txt

I spent a bit this morning scrolling through my archives from when I started my blog and I'm just... sad.

Sad for the 15 year old girl who was using this blog as a diary and social interaction and finding herself while people told her she was ugly, and annoying, and whiny.

I think maybe that's why I never come back here fully because it's imprinted in me that people don't want to hear from me? I never really agreed with the "millenials/gen z grew up in the Internet era and are suffering because of it" until I looked back and thought "wow. I just needed people to talk to, and to learn gently and the Internet gave everyone an excuse to be blunt and unfeeling"

I'm also kind of wondering if that's why I don't really go by "Jazz" anymore. She was hurt and sad and trying to connect but not knowing how

"Jas" is still learning, but more confident and fiercely protective of young people and also a badass business owner

Maybe I'll come back and restart one day idk

#anyway sorry for rambling #shut up Jazz #really Jas but gotta keep tags consistent

hi! i just finished reading dirk gently's holistic detective agency (partly bc i'd seen you talking about it and wanted to see what was up) and really enjoyed it! i know it's got two(?) tv shows as well as other books and adaptations, do you recommend any of them (or recommend i steer clear of any of them)? also p.s. i really love your artwork 💙

Ayy glad you enjoyed it!!! I haven’t seen the first show they made so I can’t say much on that, but I really enjoyed the 2016 show! It’s nothing like the book plot/character wise but it holds the same chaotic energy with a sprinkle (let’s be honest it’s more like a jet spray) of gay. I also know that there’s like a graphic novel/comic adaptation, but alas I haven’t read those either. The second book tho (the long dark tea time of the soul) is pretty good! Although I’ll admit I never finished it, idk why because I thought it was a pretty fun read.
