silly stuff i drew while reading Feel No Evil by @payasita , in which the Lamb does not know how to propose, Narinder does not know how to be alive, and neither of them knows what an obligate carnivore is

bonus? lmao

#my art #cotl #i am looking into your soul with my huge autistic eyes. read this fic right now. blease #hksfdjghdfghldkfg im sorry it just fucking kills me that for the first 4ish chapters narinder is just. so nasty #like all the followers are like There He Is. The Leader's Favorite Guy. and its this filthy half-dead cat that hasnt bathed in 10+ years #like he has hardly eaten the entire time he's been mortal and he looks like absolute dogshit #and their unbeatable normally serene and gracious leadergod is hovering around his stinky ass like omg nari hiiiiii #its fucking hilarious to me. and also heartwrenching bc this fic does also get into how hard it is to be alive when uve never learned how #gonna draw the twins desperately bringing him soap later i just had so many things i wanted to draw for this

[canisalbus]

Just wanted to send some praise along, because you're a huge art inspiration for me and others and I love seeing you on my dash!!

I love the way you approach compositions and shapes, your pieces "flow" really beautifully. The weight and detail in your lines really emphasizes those things, too. There's so much beautiful and gentle detail to look at in your work!! The range of how you use colors is really impressive, and it adds so much life and contrast to your pieces.

I also really love the way you compose bodies. Again, the weight and the flow and the detail is very tangible and pleasing to look at. The way you draw clothes, hands, teeth, and little details like fur and veins and muscle and bone really shows how much care you put in.

And I really love your OCs and the universes you have! The way you think about everything and the complexities of it all is really admirable and inspiring.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, all your work and effort really shines through, and creates amazing things!! Keep it up!

Aw gosh, thank you so much for sending such a long and thoughtful comment! ;_;

#“beautiful and gentle detail” goodness gracious #even if it's just a bunch of silly fictional dogs I'm drawing for fun I pour a lot of my heart and soul to it #so it's what's the word “affirming” I suppose when it resonates with people #and it makes them stop scrolling for a moment and really look at it long enough to notice the details you described #feeling very seen right now thank you for caring about my work I appreciate it #answered #anonymous

#military surplus store trip 2 days ago #I got a very pink cowboy hat despite questioning everything about how I present myself. it was Calling to me #multiple people loved it and when I got home and put it on my 3 yo sister stopped in her tracks and said 'wow... you're soo pretty' #that has never happened before #so I Guess the pink cowboy hat will be a Special Fashion Thing #despite the little existential crisis it gives me every time I think about being a pink cowboy hat girl #which is a bit ridiculous but there you go. #I was so secretly dedicated to looking either vaguely emo (<333) or cuttingly defensively professional for a long time #that the idea of being COWBOY-aligned (CONSERVATIVE IDOLS UGH) and not only that but PINK (feminine??? >:O) really did not appeal #but it looks GOOD on me and... sigh. I don't have to make people know my personality by my clothes. I can just wear what I WANT to #and I really do LIKE the pink cowboy hat!! it's silly and awesome and goes clink and it's a COWBOY HAT man!!! #I get to be BOTH pink cowboy AND every other thing I am. I can still be CoolTM. I can still be completely myself. #those who love me will understand me. those who don't... don't have to understand me. #goodness gracious that was a lot of soul-searching over a HAT #I also got very very tough Army jungle combat boots #I am expecting them last well >:D and they make me feel SO POWERFUL #Robin processes emotions on main #I Guess XD #I only meant to tell y'all about my cool new items I swear

All of Creation Should Praise the Lord

1 With all my heart    I praise the Lord, and with all that I am    I praise his holy name! 2 With all my heart    I praise the Lord! I will never forget    how kind he has been.

3 The Lord forgives our sins, heals us when we are sick, 4    and protects us from death. His kindness and love    are a crown on our heads. 5 Each day that we live,    he provides for our needs and gives us the strength    of a young eagle.

6 For all who are mistreated,    the Lord brings justice. 7 He taught his Law to Moses and showed all Israel    what he could do.

8 The Lord is merciful! He is kind and patient,    and his love never fails. 9 The Lord won't always be angry    and point out our sins; 10 he doesn't punish us    as our sins deserve.

11 How great is God's love for all    who worship him? Greater than the distance    between heaven and earth! 12 How far has the Lord taken    our sins from us? Farther than the distance    from east to west!

13 Just as parents are kind    to their children, the Lord is kind    to all who worship him, 14 because he knows    we are made of dust. 15 We humans are like grass or wild flowers    that quickly bloom. 16 But a scorching wind blows, and they quickly wither    to be forever forgotten.

17 The Lord is always kind    to those who worship him, and he keeps his promises to their descendants 18 who faithfully obey him.

19 God has set up his kingdom in heaven, and he rules    the whole creation. 20 All of you mighty angels, who obey God's commands,    come and praise your Lord! 21 All of you thousands who serve and obey God,    come and praise your Lord! 22 All of God's creation and all that he rules,    come and praise your Lord! With all my heart    I praise the Lord! — Psalm 103 | Contemporary English Version (CEV) The Holy Bible, Contemporary English Version Copyright © 1995 by American Bible Society.

songbird's season of general sadness/first real grief/sorrow is coming to an end: (in chronological/journeying order) songs and poetry that helped my heart a lot these past few months :)

Always Good, Andrew Peterson / Marjorie, Andrew Osenga / Ask Polly article I read on a whim: 'My Boyfriend Refuses to Change' / You're On Your Own, Kid, Taylor Swift / One Foot in Front of the Other, Griff / Heavy, Mary Oliver / Monday by @madamescarlette / The Letter, Linda Gregg / Summer's Retrospective by @madamescarlette / Ode to Some Lyric Poets, Gregory Orr

(bonus--from the scraps of writing that came out of this chapter of life, which are slowly being assembled into a more coherent story:)

#yknow i felt so alone at so many points but i really really wasn't #i had such good friends (here and in my church community) who held my hand so gently #and God used the things i understood best to show me His incredible love at just the right moments #still an ongoing journey but i am so so grateful for the secondhand heart-strength given to me and the tenderness that was extended when i #when i was really at my lowest and saddest and most oversensitive and easily provoked to impatience or anger or depressive spirals #anyway i can't remember who sent me marjorie but thank you so much for that it was such a comfort. it continues to be #and thank you eden for sharing your beautiful poetry!!!! it continues to refresh and encourage my soul #mmmm it's hard to put into words what everything (and by everything i mean: the songs here and on my playlists #and the poetry here and the books i've read during the summer and into the autumn #from cyrano de bergerac to tolstoy to rilke's poems and dorothy sayers and dostoevsky and st therese & st teresa and madeleine l'engle #not to mention the night walks and morning prayers and the wonderful times i've had with the other dorm girls! #suddenly quite overwhelmed by the abundance of love and blessing #immensely immensely grateful for everything. i can be such a little wretch sometimes and wallow awfully for days #or act like a little human machine and try to Rid Myself of all emotional surges. or just focus on all the negative things with astonishing #tunnel vision (you wouldn't BELIEVE). but God has been so gracious despite songbird being a silly goose #and every once in a while having mental breakdowns and having to learn the same lesson (surrender and humility) a bajillion times #anyway!! my heart doesn't hurt anymore!! #and i am learning to take it one day at a time and to Rejoice in all circumstances #slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in year 21 #which really is so much harder than i thought at times!!!! but that makes it even more important to do so i think

[erosology]

i honestly don’t understand how the ghost enjoyers on my blog are not also red hood enjoyers

big beefy masked man with a shoulder width wider than his waist? check

broody man with too much trauma to keep track of? check

said broody man also being a smartass who loves telling corny jokes and has a distaste for authority? check

doesn’t believe himself to be good or worthy of love but tries his hardest to protect those he does believe in? check

definitely has daddy issues and probably has mommy issues too? check and check

has a sunshine counterpart they either get shipped with or bromanced with? check

found family trope even though they both prefer to work alone? check

they’re the same person except one is in all black with a british accent and one is in red with probably some sort of north eastern american accent

#❀.chatter #and yet i’m still not THAT much of a ghost girlie #ALSKSJDHDB #I LOVE SIMON SM DONT GET MR WRONG #i love love love love his character and backstory and everything #but i’m not like completely drooling over him y’know? #jason tho?? #jason owns me body mind coochie heart and soul #‘oh my goodness gracious! i’ve been bamboozled!’ as he’s been literally sent to a death trap #my silly lil’ goober <3 #no matter which fandom i get sucked in #i always come back to jason <3

At no time did I want to offend you, sorry if I bothered you with what I wrote, and I said that I stopped reading, not rereading (the first part the scenes don't have much of him so I read directly, because of what he reminds me are triggers for me but i never put the blame on you i like you stories to me are an escape and people like you are helping me always tell me i should speak so i thought i could) i never meant to suggest it was your belief like i do i said i don't know her, but that doesn't stop me from worrying about someone who helped me, as i'm not fluent in english sometimes my texts get confused, but not in the offending sense that I know of I didn't have any words that led to such an understanding, at no time did I mean to offend you or your writing and I thought that no sentence there would lead to this understanding maybe I was wrong. As I said I'm worried not only about you but everyone else, I sent the question because I've been following you since this fic on AO3 and because of that I started following your other works on Tumblr and I thought you were available to talk about the subjects of the series like many in the fandom and as I saw you answering other people's questions and opinions I thought I could send mine. I apologize for my misunderstanding. I thought I made it clear that I dindn't trying to offend it was never my intention

Hey love. For starters, I'm very sorry for whatever you have had to survive in your personal life. I sincerely wish you peace and healing on your journey.

It's really important for me to emphasize that sending authors citicism is not the same thing as sending prompts and questions. Writers love when people come to talk to us about our writing. But we are also people and we have to draw boundaries in the ways others are allowed to engage with us. You came into my ask box making a lot of assumptions about me as a person. I understand that a language barrier makes it more difficult to talk about nuanced topics and I want to be able to assume good intention, but implying someone is an abuse apologist is rarely ever done in good faith. I know you know this, because you said "I apolgoize if this sounds harsh". (If you have to write that when you are messaging someone about their writing, you should probably reconsider what you are about to send them)

Feyre's story clearly means something very powerful to you, and I am so glad acotar and acotar fic has been a source of healing. That being said, it is not a fic writer's responsibility to facilitate that healing for you. I have tagged my fic appropriately and written a story that *I* feel is true to the characters. You quoted Feyre and asked if her words reflect my opinions, but I'm not using Feyre as a tool to espouse my beliefs. I wrote that line because that's how I believe Feyre would feel in this very specific situation that I created to tell a story about Prythain unifying. Certain relationship dynamics had to change to achieve that, and I like to believe they felt organic to the storyline.

Anyway, the approach of an ask matters. If you had come into my askbox asking what inspired me to write the plot this way, we might have had a different conversation. But there was no question in your original ask, which makes it very unclear what you were hoping my response would be. (It certainly wasn't going to be gratitude)

#And again #I wish you nothing but healing and kindness #but at that same time extend that kindness towards me #I have spent over a year of my life pouring my soul into this project #I am not always going to be gracious towards unsolicited critiques

Bless the Lord, O My Soul

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul. — Psalm 103 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain.

i am breaking myself too…. they just and i…. and they…. and then one of them has to live without the other…. and one of them had to die without the other….. and and and :((( </3

#they can’t grow old together… they can’t love each other forever… they can’t do any of it… no matter how much they want to… #their hearts call out for each other… not knowing it’s temporary… a soul will eventually wander the earth alone looking for its other half #but it’s not there… it’s buried in the ground… poppies and lilacs growing out of the grave… planted so delicately; lovingly… the soul aches #the soul wants… it breaks with pain worse than death… because death would be gracious… would let them meet again… but it’s impossible #immortals can’t die… it’s their curse… to love and lose constantly and continuously… and it hurts so much #they make me feel so many things #scarian #desert duo #hermitcraft #hermitshipping #grian #gtws #gtwscar #goodtimeswithscar #🍂 anon
