have been seeing this going around so i decided to make my own!!

(just a disclaimer i havent rewatched some of the seasons in a while so i did this according to what i remember)

#ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #levi's ted talks #the most recent seasons ive rewatched r hunted and sog and theyre still as good and thrilling as when i first watched #a little of s1 too #i put it down there bc the writing was kinda weird BUT it was the starting point of ninjago so im never hating on it #plus the memorable moments like goddamn #i constantly rewatch s13 i love it too much #i cant bring myself to rewatch seabound bcaause knowing whats gonna happen next is so fucking PAINFUL 😭 #even tho im an angst lover the fucking seperation makes me bawl #my friend literally couldnt talk to me for a few days bc of the shock from the ending when it first came out #and to be completely honest DR is what got me fully back into the ninjago fandom #like id reblog posts n whatever but wasnt so involved #and id just rant with my friend abt it #but then when DR's release was announced i made my first post for it #(a redraw for an incorrect quote post: dig in my art tag and youll maybe find it . but beware) #and now im here with so many moots #art improvement and 3 fics and more coming aswell #how the fuck

Decided to log into twitter (hell) and outside of everything going to shit as always i found this piece of shit as my banner

I dont even remember when i made this but i do remember that i did and i remember how i made it

I saw a picture on twitter w some kind of caption and decided that i could make it look like a banner

i tried to add the fire flaming text that i saw on some reposted to twitter tumblr posts where someome makes a grammatical error and someone corrects them in a form of flaming (sometimes animated) text (never change guys, gals and all of you magnificent pals lol) but at the time i didnt know the website that you all used so i tried to improvise and google

I remember half way thru the making of this text being so upset that it looked like shit but after taking a break for 20 minutes i said "fuck it, it is way funnier this way" and i kinda glad that back then i decided to "fuck it we ball" it

It looks disgusting and i love it

#i unironically glad i found it bc it still holds up to me #not in a sense that its still THAT funny to me (i believe i made it when i was like when i was maybe 17-ish) but it feels kinda #nostalgic #some might say that its not nostalgic it all like “lol #you're 21 how tf can this shit be nostalgic to you #you still havent experienced x y and z you're a still young adult who havent decided what your future is you dont get to feel nostalgic #about your past outside of movies you watched when you were a child lol“ #and i kinda disagree #bc at that point of my life i only started to figure myself out (hell i only “recently” realised im nonbinary and multisexual) #and looking back at how i used to be #it definitely feels like ive made a lot of progress in self development and self improvement #and its kind of nostalgic for me to see my old abandoned twitter page (i should probably nuke it completely) and see that everything change #everyone learns #everyone becomes different #everything stays the same while also changing simultaneously #did i really got emotional over my old banner? #anyways whoever finds this post i kinda thank you for reading thru my schizophrenic post and i wish you a good day #juniper's tree branches #juniper stupider #ramblings #nonsense rumblings #will delete this cringe later when ill be embarrassed about it

do you have firealpaca se? it's on sale right now, should i get it for myself?

ooph i just use the free version of fire alpaca i didn't even register that there was a version that costs money😭 but iiim not quite sure I don't really hear about fire alpaca being The good art program that has a lot of useful features so I'd be careful and investigate other options i think idk maybe im on the wrong side of the road and there's hella fire alpaca praise but pffft all I'm saying is surely there's better art programs out there if you were to spend money on one 🤔

#who knows maybe the fire alpaca se is like good af and way more improved but i would do more research #speaking of which ive been considering looking into other art programs recently mainly bc #now that i have a patreon i feel like i kinda owe it to ppl to use the money for anything that i can improve on ie. a better art program #and it deadass took me THIS long to finally realize that bro im got a job and am rakin in cash #im not a broke kid yearning for scraps on the family computer i Could spend money on an art program lmfao my ass been out here moved out fo #3 years LMFAO i may finally part ways with fire alpaca and move up the ladder

i think i'm gonna post a fanfic for the first time. It's a short Sonaze-centric story. (the premise is very much a "throw those guys into a situation" type thing. Blaze loses her voice before a big important event and Sonic winds up acting as a conversation intermediate, repeating back her barely-audible whispers so everyone else can hear)

is it anything amazing? no.

is it made in the spirit of fun? yes.

do i enjoy what i wrote?? Yes!

#manifesting the confidence to share something mid and be okay with it. (like always tbh) #jokes on me bc i keep editing my writing to improve it anyway #sonaze fic is like the only type of fic ive been able to pick up in recent years. so naturally i kinda got into it more #i unfortunately have 'cant read' syndrome where my brain decides to be easily intimidated by quantities of words #postmadders

[nomaishuttle]

im like Rly weird abt ppl seeing my body move like. if im in a public place and im not walking Perfectly ordinarily or standjng still i sm scared. if i have to bend down to get something from my bag im scared. drop something and have to pick it up Scared. woops i need to run grab something rq Shitting my pants. its dire

#these examples r all mall focused bc i was at the mall last week but this is also why i always feel so uncomfortable in the kitchen #even b4 💀 bc my roommates would just be. in the room and id start shaking Horrifically bc rhey could see me moving around in rhe kitchen #abd of course shaky hands while cooking Not great so id drop things and that was terrifying and yeah basically . so thats why i thjnk #living alone will be good for me #living alone aside from HIERONYMUSSS you guys didnt think i forgot hieronymus did you .. Id never forget him hes my best friend and #awesome in the world. #but yaa so thats partially why im scared of gyms 😭😭 once i do start going 2 one (bc thats one of my Connor Life Improvement action items) #im gonna have to go at like. 8pm 💀... all quite scary #recently my fahorite thing is to end a sentence with a comma unfortnately that has not been working out for me well in these tags #as demknstrated in the tag ive just written #that one too #again #but yaaa. ok beddybye my eyelids r heavy (lying i have 2 brush teeth first THEN beddy bye) #omg also i forgot to journal yesterday im kinda msd

[rabble-dabble]

So, regarding your latest piece.

VGDVYHFBTGFHFTFHDBCC GOOD! VDVFYBTHFCGJC5V5HFHDYD

LOVE IT!

AAAAHHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!! (and apparently so did other people too!!)

it's a redraw from last year's lyricstuck- but to be honest, i did the redraw literally last year. as in it was only a month after the first one that i decided to put in ACTUAL effort and redraw the fuckin thing. it worked out pretty well i think because it looks SOOOO much better than the original!

it took me a couple of days (because i put in actual effort lmao) but i was working on it for HOURS, just for like days straight because it was the only time i had to do it, so i knew i needed to finish it. i also fixed up mistakes i put in the first time - spelling mistakes, spacing, just little touches that needed fixed or coloured i didn't do originally. i think i struggled the most with the villian panel - i'm a bit insecure with how clearly you can see my (to me) childish drawings because i don't know how to work without lineart that well. i just blurred it last year but blurring it for the second one ruined the vibe i was going for so i kinda just grit my teeth and posted it knowing it wasn't my best, but hey, at least i tried!!

overall, i'm glad it turned out so great. it also highlights how much effort i've put into my artwork, and how it's paid off, plus how much more i still need to improve. i think i need to improve my backgrounds more, and learn how to not only draw things that AREN'T people, but without lineart as well.

thanks for the ask i was literally smiling when i got it <3

#answered #anon #evil john anon #ahhhhh i love the redrawn lyricstuck!! #i had it literally drafted for the whole year on my tumblr just for 4/13 #i was like 'i am not posting a shitty lyricstuck again. i know ill just make it in advance!' makes it a WHOLE 11 MONTHS BEFORE #btw thanks for the ask because ive literally been trying to figure out my art goals recently #and figuring out 'non lineart and non people drawings' is a good goal #backgrounds too i still draw trees like a 5th grader XDD #i was always better with people than anything else but i think its reaching a point where i need to improve my backgrounds too #so it can catch up with my ability to draw people. i guess the lineart thing is more personal but not every drawing looks good with it #and i cant just do lineart people and nonlineart things because that looks weird (to me) #i mean tbh i know how to make background but its just kinda hard translating a traditional skill (like painting or watercolour) to digital #hopefully i can figure it out

[digirainebow]

OH my editing has gotten so much better since i started editing those tgaa snippets. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#digi discusses #been a while since i went back and watched the beginning. mistake actually #i might have to drop the video because it just. is so incoherent for ppl who dont know the games story in the beginning #did not do a very good job with that aspect #much 2 think about #ive put a lot of work and hours in im literally almost done cutting down the last hour of footage i recorded for it. but like #very much questioning it now. idk lmk what you think if youve seen the ones i posted on here when i did that #because like. the reason i was so pleased with this video concept WAS because it so clearly showed not just my improvement in editing #but also my mental state. but now im wondering if its its biggest flaw actually #i kinda wanna put the past behind me next year and become a different person anyway sooooooo maybe i just ditch it #anyway. sorry for how many of my posts have been like this recently

[boydykedevo]

genuinely can never tell whether The Depression is better or worse. I'm scouring for clues to determine what's going on w my brain. building a fucking conspiracy wall.

#idk i just feel kinda. nothing most of the time djakfhahdfk so how am i supposed to know if thats an improvement or a. deprovement #like hmmm ive have x number of breakdowns recently is that a bad thing or is it just cuz im not letting myself be so avoidant #the creative juices aren't flowing as well is that hyperfixation fading or depression increasing #heres a list of things that might be affecting me....... hmmmmmm #vent ish #icarus is talking

[ikyw-t]

been playing the piano again the past couple weeks and have been learning how to play "the very first night" according to the actual sheet music instead of just playing the vocal line and chords on the left hand without even using a metronome and boy. it's honestly embarrassing how long it's taking me to get this song at like 100% accuracy and it's not even hard. ive been playing piano for like 10 years now and im truly not even good bc ive have not been practicing "smarter" (instead of harder) at alllllllllll... and this kinda applies to my guitar skills too just on a lesser level. i mean obviously it's better late than never but damn if i don't feel ridiculously silly and kinda stupid about it

#trying not to be too hard on myself even tho ive used the speak now sheet music book so much that pages are falling out #and until very recently i have never taken the time to count out any of the beats or learn to play the left hand notes properly #bc i just wanted to play the songs and it was easy enough to play since i obvi know them very well #but boy. i took out a piano book of different like european children's songs or whatever and it's soooooo simple #im just soooo unused to actually READING and PLAYING to just the sheet music. it was abysmal #also im rly slow at reading any of the notes on the bass clef which is also a pretty freaking ridiculous setback. but whatever #at least im improving now! #im also like 85% happy with the very first night there's just a few sections that are kinda fast/tricky but it's rly fun to play #anywayyyy. lol... gonna go back to these freaking childrens songs and try to not be so embarrassed about how slow i am at it #p

Please write something for Pina!!! Maybe reader is busy with work and pina is frustrated she won’t go do fun stuff with her

baby come on. | clàudia pina

clàudia pina x reader fluff (670 words)

summary: clàudia is frustrated that you arent spending time with her while you are busy with work.

Note: this was a request! Sorry its kinda short, still cute tho (i think) and i hope u like itt ❤️

--

you chewed on the end of your pen. one hand in your hair and the other harshly gripping the plastic. you stared at your laptop screen, reading through the never-ending notes you had taken earlier of your last match. in the book below you, you wrote new plays, techniques or formations that could be used in the next barca game. specifically you wrote, in full detail, about all the areas you could improve on.

you stretched backwards in your chair before turning around to glance at your apartment door, which was now being opened. hearing clàudias voice you relaxed and looked back to your screen.

"im home, cariñooo!!"

"hey." you replied flatly, now focused on scribbling words into your notebook. clàudia's lips pressed together in dissapointment. you had been on your own ass about studying games recently and left no time for you to relax, not even with her! your girlfriend!!

"baby, you're still studying? i thought you were done with this game yesterday?" she asked, putting her bag down and walking towards you to wrap her arms around your neck.

you yawned, resting your head back onto her shoulder.

"yea i thought i was, but theres some stuff i missed."

"okay cariño, pero..." you hummed in response and she kissed your cheek a few times before sitting down in the chair next to you. she took the front leg of your chair and span you around to face her, then placing her hand on your thigh, a glimmer of hope and excitement in her eyes.

"mapi invited us out today, for drinks! i reallllyyy want you to come baby. we haven't been out together in so long." you bit your cheek at her words, trying to remember the last time you went out with her, but you couldn't. you hesitated to speak, rubbing your head with guilt. "i know, clàu. im sorry, i just really want the next game to be perfect." you didn't look at her, feeling her frustrated eyes on you as you finished your sentence. she removed her hand from your thigh and stood up, letting out a long, exhasperated sigh.

she looked at you "i understand." and started walking towards your bedroom, "clàu im sor-" you were interrupted, clàudia shutting the bedroom door behind her. your head dropped to the floor, feeling guilt build up inside of you after hearing her voice clearly saddened. you heard the shower turn on and spun your chair back to your computer, continuing to write your notes.

when clàudia came out of the shower, basic shirt and boxers on and a towel wrapped around her neck, you were still working. you looked up and offered a smile which she returned in a bored manner. the guilt was really eating you up now, so you started to pack away your things, noticing clàudia glance at you from the kitchen as she filled a glass of water. you put your stuff away and started to walk up to her, but she picked up her phone and faced her back towards you. what a baby. you grabbed her waist from behind and perched your head on her shoulder.

"clàu?" you said, no response.

"babyy please." again no response.

an idea entered your mind, and your hands went up her shirt to trace her abs. you teasingly started to kiss her neck, and when you felt her smile you brought your hands together around her.

you spoke again, "im sorry that i haven't been spending time with you baby. ive been busy with this shit, i just want things to be perfect." she didn't respond, but put her phone down to continue listening.

"let's go out today, amor. i'm done with this studying, i realized how much i missed being with you." you said, taking your arms out of her shirt and turning her body to face you. she beamed at you with her smile, asking "really!?" and draping her arms around your neck to kiss you when you nodded yes.

when she pulled away she spoke again, "finally, cariño. i've missed you too."

how i started to feel pretty

hey loves! i’ve struggled with feeling insecure over my looks, but recently i’ve made changes that have helped me be less insecure. little improvements with my lifestyle and mindset have already made a big difference. first i’m going to talk about my insecurities, then what i did and then general tips.

my insecurities:

hyperpigmentation. i have bad undereye bags due to genetics that landed my family to call all of our eyes “raccoon eyes.” then redness above my eyelids, then darkness above my upper lip no matter how much i shaved. 

facial asymmetry. we all have it, but i felt so bad anytime i took a selfie and i couldn’t bear to take any photos of myself. 

body dysmorphia. this one is weird. i don’t view my body the way others do, and honestly the way i view it changes all the time.

changes i’ve made:

first i started doing things that didn’t help. they were temporary solutions that did nothing. i used concealer and powder for the hyperpigmentation- but it looked cakey and a little ashy-kinda cuz i wasn’t using a color corrector. for my body i did these “abs in 2 weeks!” challenges during covid, and was restrictive, which is the worst thing you can do for yourself.

for my skin:

i started using the glycolic acid serum by the ordinary. this stuff is life changing! i’ve been going makeup free on my skin lately and my skin tone has gotten so much more even. plus it’s affordable and it’s a giant bottle.

for my face:

i started doing face massages for muscle tension

i also realized that my facial asymmetry is 1) normal (we all have it to a certain extent and 2) it’s probably not as bad as i think it is. 

for my body:

i’ve started to focus more on health than appearances, because that my view of my body is distorted. i don’t see it like other people do, so i need to prioritize my health. i started eating MORE- more foods that are healthy, more fruits and vegtables. instead of restricing i allowed myself to have more.

i developed a pilates plan that focused on building strength, and incorporated a little bit of weights. now that i play sports i’ve put an emphasis on strength which has actually helped me get more toned.

journaling. i began to write down about my feelings- the way i view other people vs. the way i view myself. it made me realize how social media gave me an unrealistic image, and how i wasn’t viewing myself the way i really am.

advice:

what are you insecure about? the first step is just writing down your biggest insecurities- aka why don’t you feel beautiful? what made you feel this way? no one is born feeling ugly- we’re all taught to feel this way, whether it’s comments that have been made to us or others.

find people with similar stories. this helped me in the past, watching videos about people who had the same insecurities as me, it opened my eyes to how harshly i treat myself. 

get to the root of it. for my skin i realized that covering up my hyperpigmentation with makeup wouldn’t solve the problem, so i put an emphasis on incorporating things into my skincare routine that could solve the problem, without makeup!

think in the long-term. think about what’s healthy for you, and the most natural way of doing so. for example, when it came to my body i had to think about what’s healthy for me overall, not a quick fix. quick fixes aren’t attainable!

prioritize mental and physical health. i think we should all embrace our natural beauty by focusing on our skincare and the health of our hair. additionally, mental health is equally important, especially when it comes to body image.

positive thinking. a lot of times we tend to vocalize our negative thoughts, ive heard ppl make horrible comments about their bodies and things like that. first of all, stop saying those things out loud- you’re only reaffirming them in your head, and furthering the bad feeling. when you get horrible thoughts about yourself, try to stop them and replace them with good ones. even if you don’t believe it at first, you soon will.

it sometimes takes a while for beautiful people to realize how gorgeous they are. i had friends who i thought were some of the prettiest girls in the world, but they didn’t even realize it. i bet there’s so many people in your life who look at you and see the beauty in you that you don’t see in yourself. just stay healthy and keep positive thoughts, and i hope in time you’ll see your inner and outer beauty.

late nite vent 🚬

UUUUH hi, has it really been a year (It has)

I was avoiding everything for a reason but I didn't mean to vanish like that. people who tried to check if I was okay/alive, sorry for worrying you

I got hit by multiple tragedies and other life ruining shit. It's still ongoing, it just kept getting worse. every time I begin to semi recover or heal from one thing, a new even worse thing happens..... the repeating, futile pattern really messed me up.

I always had this problem (habit? coping mechanism? idk) where I isolate when stressed. so Ive been avoiding hobbies, relationships, everything. it's gotten really bad and destructive. the rot is taking over T_T

I want to get better. recently I'm making myself engage with things slightly more again, pick back up my hobbies, even trying to make myself draw and hang out again....even tho admittedly things seem kinda meaningless and pointless right now.

anyway, long way of saying I may be around again but in a weird on/off rusty kinda way. maybe things will improve in time.

anyone who read this I hope your life has been going better than mine lmao. see you soon, with any luck.

#I know this is a dead account on a crashing and burning website. but it felt weird to proceed without saying anything

[hazshit-hotel-hater]

Surprise! I am going to rant about my own redesign and art! I think this is me mentally preparing for the helluva boss episode next week and praying to god it’s actually good. I’ve also been nursing a bit of a hangover today so forgive me if my wording is a bit more jumbled than usual

Im a big fan of my Angel Dust redesign, but in the general aspect of my art, a lot of my poses are a bit flat. That can be from either posing issues on my end, trouble with facial features, or just some secret third thing, but I think so far Ive been enjoying drawing much more cartoonishly as of recent. That vox canon & headcanon drawing was super super fun to do even though it was supposed to be vivzies style, but I used to have a style with more sharp angles and pointy curves that I honestly kind of miss, I also miss playing with cartoonish proportions!!

My art style may end up changing eventually, but my main pieces will stay in my usual style and my more doodle-y ones will probably be in a more cartoony style like the ones above. While theyre definitely closer to canon and meant to be inspired as such, the difference is that I can draw diverse body types in said artstyle! I also cant lie, Angel’s chest fluff is one of my absolute favourite things to draw and it’s so easy in this style…

About my redesigns though! This is mostly about Angel, but I’m gonna slap this here from DMs with a friend: “Im so pleased with this genuinely im so happy he has his little pedipalps, theyre technically also still his fangs but now he can move them and stuff and :33 typically for male spiders the pedipalps are a reproductive organ but that isnt the case for angel or many other arachnid or insect sinners id say so I think personally most of them have developed pedipalps for primarily other reasons like fangs in Angels case or maybe something similar to cat whiskers for other people”

In my original angel dust redesigns I just couldn’t find a way to draw his fangs in a way that made me happy because I want to keeo the same energy in his face as the original. Big clunky fangs that stick out just didn’t work for him and while they made him look like a spider, he lost that sort of angel-ness that I need when drawing him so I instead looks to the pedipalp aspect of spiders to move them off of his mouth and more onto his cheeks. It’s a very small change but it improved the design in my eyes significantly and just really made me a lot happier. I wont be updating his redesign post as of right now and maybe never will, but if I do yknow why now!

I just really really like drawing this guy a bit rubbery, hes supposed to be fluffy so like he should move kinda soft in a way? I dunno how to explain it rn, its 2 AM at the time of writing this so im gonna lay the hell down now!
