#satisfying completion

[buildcollect]

Ahoy mateys! Just conquered the high seas and completed this epic Flying Dutchman 3D wooden puzzle! This intricate pirate ship was a true test of patience (and rum-drinking skills ) but the final result is a treasure to behold.

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:

There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’

like wow babe. good fucking point

#like you were on the ground biting the carpet and dry sobbing while you wrote that and still. good fucking point #not a shitpost #cptsd #and it's true. there's never a satisfying answer #the truth is i know why i wasn't loved #i analyzed my parent's traumas and abuse to death. i understand why i alienated and was alienated from my siblings #i know why my mom was too overwhelmed to be capable of nurturing #i know why my dad vanished into addiction and avoidance #the details of our cycles of trauma and cptsd and family history i have a phd in all of it #i understood perfectly. i spent years studying and now i knew the answer #and guess what? IT WAS NOT SATISFYING!!! #because they still didn't love me! and i still couldn't change that! #it was still a completely unsatisfying state of affairs! #so like. when the people who are supposed to love you...don't. #when the people who are supposed to take care of you...fail to #you can look for answers and reasons and explanations #but that's not actually going to FIX your situation. #and it's probably not within your ability TO fix the situation. (and definitely not your job) #because you don't need answers--you need a new situation #*inserts Just Walk Out. You Can Leave!!! (Running Skeleton) Meme* #and yes. walking out isn't always possible. #but for you i hope it will be one day soon. and i hope you build the courage to take that leap. #stepping away from the people who failed to love you...it feels like being untethered but also like being lighter than air #new and scary. immensely relieving. the future opens up. empty but empty like a canvas. blindingly bright until your eyes adjust #like climbing out of a pit you called home and for the first time realizing how bright the light of day can truly be #when you aren't just getting glimpses from the bottom of a hole

The monthly art prompt from the mlp server was 'Awakening' and of course my mind immediately went to AJ's gay awakening. Or rather, the moment she realizes that the feelings she harbors for Rara are not in fact just friendship.

Besides Rarijack, AJ/Rara is one of my fave AJ ships. I love to think that Rara probably was her first crush and camp romance.

#this month was good practice for coloration #though I'm not completely satisfied with the end result #rarajack #applejack #countess coloratura #coloratura #rara #? #so many tags/names #my art #mlp

all my attempts to paint a portrait of homer simpson in semi-chronological order. since graduating ive really wanted to "get serious" and be "very good" at painting which means a lot of trying and failing and learning

#i am very smug and satisfied with the last one even if its completely unfinished. i think it is very good

[nedseii]

DAENSAAAAAA!!!!

#I wanted to do a bunch of doodles of them but this is the only thing I managed to complete and be satisfied with :'( #I'll try to post more daensa in the future tho'!! #but thank you guys for the kind words it means a lot :') #asoiaf #daenerys targaryen #sansa stark #daensa #myart #ask

Anyway I took way too long on this, but I hope you enjoyed!

finally posting these after what feels like forever

featuring my attempts at figuring out how I wanna draw them, and a few redraws of some older pieces that never got posted (+a new cover image for my playlist)

#the locked tomb #tlt #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #griddlehark #just sketching #i don't think i'm completely satisfied yet i still might change/simplify some things #especially harrow's longer hair i have no idea how i wanna style that #but i really wanna get some stuff posted so that's a problem for the next time i draw them lol

Ilia Malinin (USA): First skater in history to successfully perform all 6 types of quadruple jumps. Malinin completed the set after landing a clean quad loop at the 2023 Grand Prix Final.

#ilia malinin #fskateedit #figure skating #program #mix #i have uh. mixed feelings about him winning gpf #but it's really satisfying to see a complete set like this #eta: changed the gifs for the toe and axel because judges are wrong about GOE

I don't even have words right now. What are words to convey all the emotions running through me currently?

All I wanted was to see Lucifer and Charlie both change their forms, and THEY. DELIVERED. MY GOD.

JUST LOOK AT THEM. THEY LOOK FUCKING FABULOUS. BOTH MY CINNAMON ROLLS SHOWED THEIR CLAWS AND I'M HERE FOR IT.

But Alastor, sweetie. Can I give you a hug?

I want to help my baby boy. My heart broke for him and he deserves the world, plain and simple.

AND VAGGIE AND CHARLIE SUNG MORE THAN ANYTHING TOGETHER AND SAID I LOVE YOU AND IT MADE MY HEART BURST.

THAT IS ALL. THAT WAS DELIGHTFUL

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #hazbin alastor #hazbin charlie #lucifer #lucifer morningstar #i could rant about this for hours #my loves #they both look so good #alastor needs a hug #more than anything duet killed me #i am deceased #i am unwell #but also i was waiting for jeremy jordan to sing again and he delivered so i'm completely satisfied #god that was good #hazbin hotel finale #vivziepop #i can't wait for the next season

'Witches Before Wizards' screenshot redraw

[Image description: a screenshot redraw of Luz and Eda from The Owl House, painted digitally. Eda's in her pajamas, drinking from a mug and leaning away from Luz, who approaches her excitedly.

Luz is wearing a black witch's robe and a spray-painted black traffic cone to resemble a witch hat, smiling and taking hold of Eda's arm. King sits in a high chair in the background, stabbing his breakfast with a fork.

The second image is the original screenshot. End description.]

#the owl house #toh #eda clawthorne #king clawthorne #luz noceda #thanks @anistarrose for the description #the first redraw of hopefully many to come #idk how many ill do but we will see #not completely satisfied with this but eh good enough #NRrt #fanart #edit: fixed some things its better now :)

since i already drew little ghost a while back but no other characters from hk as little guys you can use as signature/blog/page decoration, i made 3 others and a new ghost as well

bonus under cut

wadiance!

#hollow knight #the hollow knight #hornet #little ghost #the radiance #if you put ghost and the radiance next to each other they're fighting each other #the radi beneath the cut was the first one i did when i started this #you guys know that i don't really stop myself from posting already finished things even if i'm not completely satisfied with them #there's nothing objectively wrong with her my standards i hold myself to are just high #she's still just a little cute guy #anyway i hope you're doing good #fr resources
