#with glasses on and reading a paper

[heartofalifer]

sometimes I lay at night thinking what exactly did daisy write in the description of alec hardy's tinder profile and what pictures did she use that made her think that could get women to swipe right on him. was it selfies? was it candid photos she took? was alec wearing that blue jumper on and reading a paper with his legs crossed in the photos? I need to know

#alec hardy #broadchurch #because if i saw alec hardy wearing The Blue Jumper #with glasses on and reading a paper #and that photo was a side profile of that #i would have swiped right IMMEDIATELY #funny tho #because then afterwards ill google him up #and karen white's article about him will definitely come up #and turn all potential suitors away #also im having a writer's block #i AM STUCK TRYING TO FINISH WRITING CHAPTER 9 of this fic im writing urghhhhhhhhhhhh #david tennant #look #david tennant is a very good looking man #but if i saw Alec Hardy in real life in a universe where i dont know how DT looks like #i would look at him and scowl #“dafuq u mean he's in charge” #man cant even trim his beard or iron out his suit #also that princeloww post about the tinder convo led me up to these thoughts so thanks for that i guess #alec hardy is tumblrs resident grumpy wet cat

The Great Outdoors! I can imagine Chang and Tintin going on camping or hiking trips for dates. While they love exploring museums and flea markets, in the woods they can avoid public scrutiny.

I've just been in the mood for drawing in ink and also doing long walks outside. These are inked traditionally and coloured digitally.

#tintin #fanart #adventures of tintin #snowy #milou #chang #tinchang #traditional art #hiking #ive just had a lot to do and i want to animate but i dont have the energy or time rn #so this was something gentle and easy to do lol #i can imagine chang making an effort to recover after tibet #didi trains him up #i remember seeing a post theorise tintin needs glasses because he often uses a magnifying glass to read papers and stuff lol #i need to find it

I'm going to force you to speak only using star wars terms instead of the normal terms. no more 'fuck you' only 'kriff off'.

#no more 'oh shit' it's 'dark farrik' or 'oh kark' or 'poodoo' #ALSO THE STAR WARS TERM FOR JAZZ MUSICIAN IS APPARENTLY 'JIZZ WAILER' I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP #no more 'paper' it's flimsiplast #no concrete only duracrete (or permacrete). no glass only transparasteel #no more tablets only datapads. #phones? never heard of her. Comlinks. #clocks? what's that I use a chronometer #flash drives? NO. Datastick. #read the tags #star wars #fabric? You mean nanoweave? #pocket knife/tactical knife? NO. Vibroblade.

Golden Hour (+ lineart below cut)

I took a picture of the lines for once and did some basic crappy photo editing on my phone, so you could probably print this out and use it as a coloring page or something if you so wish lol. Do with it what you will.

#honkai star rail #dr ratio #veritas ratio #aventurine #aventurine hsr #cherallart #as you can see i forgor i wanted to draw his glasses til like. last second #i can’t believe it’s been like 2 whole months since I last did a whole like. watercolor illustration #part of that’s been bc I’ve been having a bit of a rough semester bc adhd med issues (which are resolved now) #but I really wanted to draw aventurine and ratio. my boys #i’ve been LOVING penacony so far so I needed to get something nice out #anyway I did this while my s/o and I alternated between reading a 500 pg long history book out lout to each other #it’s called ‘the inheritance of rome’ and kinda covers what happened after the collapse of the western roman empire #and tries to identify and explain all the cultural echoes and reverberations and transformations that rose from its ashes #throughout europe north africa and the middle east. anyway it’s super interesting and I highly recommend it #the late antique period is not something often covered/talked abt in public ed hist classes. at least not when I was goin through em #or the transitory period between it and the early medieval period at least #i still got 150 pages left and a final paper due on it in like 4 days but it’s only a 5 pg minimum and I’m a wordy bitch so #i think i can make it #anyway back to that I go

au where this was how ik and diavolo met for the first time when she was like seven

#obey me #art #they're reading 'the nine lives of montezuma' by michael morpugo by the way #it's about a cat called montezuma and it ends sadly. ik knows this because she's read it already but she wants to see if demons can cry #there's also very devout christian little girl later in the book and i just find the idea of diavolo encountering that character funny #obey me diavolo #jtta ik #slams hands on table how the HELL do you draw ROOMS!!!!!! #peep the incredibly thin lego house. that's all they could find enough bricks to build #also if you zoom in on the piece of paper (and turn it upside down) there's someone else making a little cameo #is it easy enough to tell who it is?? who knows #anyway yeah diavolo drew lucifer and ik drew herself and her dad (you can see zhao's glasses on one of the little figures) #when zhao gets home he sees the massive demon and passes out immediately #i think he and diavolo would make good friends actually. diavolo is the supportive ayi to his single fatherhood #one day dia's like 'man that guy's lonely so he sits him down like 'you know zhao i have a friend who might be your type' #infernal friends au

first time we see alvar he chugs a glass of wine in a sip, talks about his 3 girlfriends and proceeds to call known facts a hoax. truly what a guy

#also why is every vacker described as 'dark-haired' except for della. what does that even mean #kotlc #august's adventures in rereading canon #<- is that what that tag was? tumblr seems to have forgotten apparently #well no matter. i just find alvar's intro scene hilarious #ok technically it never specifies that hes chugging a whole glass my bad. but he 'swallows his wine in one gulp' which i personally believ— #—can be interpreted many different ways (i actually read it wrong the first time. rip) #keeping the post though because i think its funny. why not i love misinformation #(this is like when you put important recontextualizing information in the footnotes of a paper instead of the actual thing. whoops) #you know i vaguely recall writing an alvar fic in the middle of the night once but ill talk about that later. these tags are long enough

Headcanon: Severus is near sighted but refuses to wear glasses, that's why when he reads book his nose is almost touching the page.

(He fixes his eyesight by fourth year when he made a potion to fix his eyesight - let's pretend there's no potion to fix eyesight, because well, Harry... Also he totally can make that potion, he's a potion genius.)

#severus snape #snape #severus snape fanart #harry potter #my art #at first he thought he didn't have bad eyesight and thought it was how other people also see #he totally refuses to wear glasses because he thought it would make the marauders bully him more #more reason to make fun of him #let's be honest any person with perfect eyesight won't be reading that close to the paper #I'm near sighted also read a book without glasses that near to the book #is this headcanon related to me?? #yes #yes it is

do i think crowley has been filling the bookshop with fire extinguishers as a way to sooth what is probably a wild case of celestial ptsd in regards to the trauma of running into the burning bookshop and thinking his husband best friend had been killed in season 1? yes i do

#headcanoning that he just brings one with him when he comes in and aziraphale doesn't bring it up #like look yes the bookshop burned and its the heart of aziraphale but #aziraphale NEVER actually witnessed that part #adam had fixed it so quickly after #i mean crowley had to TELL him #in the most defeated agonized tone ever btw thank you dt #it probably reads like a cautionary tale but #but crowley oh poor crowley #crowley watched the heart of his love burn to the ground #ran into the heat and the stink of burning paper and the sound of breaking glass and left a piece of himself there to burn with it #for him that moment was REAL #and that kinda shit is hard to forget or move past even when it all turns out mostly okay in the end #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens spoilers

#what do you call it when a mind is lacking in depth of m thought? is there a word for that? #because all my mind can do is spin in tiny circles. never push any further. no depth of thought #i cant even carry out this line of thought to completion in my head. i have to write it down like this or else it remains stuck in an eddy #its so frustrating. when my thoughts are pressured i spin so fast it feels like my head might pop but the thoughts never go anywhere #bc they just repeat the same god damn things all thr fucking time. they drag me around in circles. then when im feeling low or even like #normal. my head just feels empty and it freaks me out. i have no intersting thoughts to think. theres nothing behind my eyes #possibly its just my brain on 0cd. but how am i suppose to escape the spiral if its in my own head? i guess im just supposed to changr my #reaction to it. recognize what it is and let it go. but i dont like it #i just want to curl up on a warm tile floor. press myself into a quiet corner and not think anything #in an aquarium or a conservatory. specifically the conservatory in Columbus. i love that place #i went there for my birthday when i was like 12 bc i liked it so much. the botanically gardens and the butterflies and the stained glass #i dunno. i just like it there. ugh. im just tired #god. there was a really cool talk today and im always like im not that inattentive lol but then i cannot for the life of me follow a talk or #read a paper all thr way through. my short term working memory is just a tiny little cup. easy to overfill #so i miss mostly everything. its so frustrating #its all frustrating. whatever. back to the psychiatrist tomorrow. probably up thr lamicta1 dosage #bc im past where i was last time i had a reaction to it 💪 #i just wish i wanted to draw. drawing just makes me tired and impatient rn #unrelated

Most of the blind box bjds I've seen apear to be pvc. So not as hefty as resin but they are about as durable as a nendoroid, and I've never had any pcc parts break, only yhe stands/connector pieces which I think are an absolute plastic. Idk if that helps

this is great news to me i love materials

#i really wanna know how a pvc bjd feels #so much of enjoying dolls to me is tactile and i really like how precious my little toys feel #i think a plastic/pvc bjd would read a lot more like TOY in my hands vs the way resin feels like a fancy object #my bjds i very much treat like they have glass bones and paper skin i hardly take them out to play so i think i could really enjoy a pvc 1

i think editing this fic made it worse BUT in de-aging everyone in this fic by five years, i have accidentally created a delightful d-plot called jordie benn adopts wyatt johnston as his own child:

Wyatt says, through a mouthful of pancake, “yeah, so all four of them—no, six, but the oldest son got drafted and he’s over in Europe, still, and the other is went to college in Boston but he might come home for break, so there are only four of them downstairs, youngest one’s a girl and she tried to beat my younger brother with a snow shovel, because my brother was getting fresh but I just stood there and let it happen ‘cause Jordie told me you don’t ever get fresh with a girl and if a girl comes after you with a shovel you probably had it coming so maybe the other two sons come home soon and all four of them knock some sense into my damn idiot brother—what was I saying?” Jamie squints. Jordie says, with a huge sigh, “The family lives downstairs, Wyatt.”

AND:

Wyatt comes clattering down the hallway. He trips on a loose floorboard but manages to stay up right. “I got it!” he says. “Mom says thanks for letting her borrow it, she took care of all my sisters last week. Is Jamie gonna give him a haircut? Hey—” he addresses Tyler directly “—Jamie will clean you up good.” “Oh, good,” says Tyler. His smile is wider. “I bet he does.” “Don’t run with scissors, Jesus Christ,” says Jordie abruptly. “Wyatt, who raised you?” “You did,” says Wyatt. Jordie frowns at him, trying for irritated but Jamie can tell he’s pleased. Jamie takes the scissors, rolling his eyes. Wyatt leans around Jamie to look at Jordie dead on. “Hey, we’re going to play hockey, you wanna come, Jordie?” “No, ‘cause I gotta work. Which you are making me late for. Thanks, boys,” says Jordie, when Miro and Roope appear behind him with a duffle bag of clothing. Jamie takes that too. It’s heavy – they must have packed a lot of winter clothing in it, and maybe some shoes as well. “You two are the best of men." Wyatt makes a face. Miro looks smug.

("where's joe pavelski" the fic is technically tyler/jamie hurt/comfort but it's ACTUALLY wyatt johnston's indomitable fifteen year old spirit forces old men* [*men in their mid-late 20s/30s] to play hockey with him while they adopt him as their child. joe pavelski is there dw)

#the amount of shit i've had to cut from a 2/3rd completed draft because there's so many threads and b-plots that i don't have time #to follow up on... every goddamn year the same story with me i swear #if i write a sequel where jamie oleksiak and stephen johns have a tender homefront romance would anyone read it 😭 #that video of them silently and grumpily eating ice cream out of individual tubs in johnsy's kitchen knocks me out every time i think of it #yeah so stephen has a bar that jamie frequents after his job in a paper mill and jamie stays late to help clean up even though #he is tired from working all day. jamie wipes down counters and tables while stephen complains about the price of whiskey going up #as he washes glasses. jamie doesn't know much about god but stephen bar fills him with peace like a church maybe #ok NO MORE POSTING i gotta try to knock out another 900ish words before bed #on god i will get this shit edited and posted before becs lands at the airport #unfortunate birdcage fanfictions

truly something that, amidst facing / going through a dramatic Life Change ft. unavoidable emotional effects of that, there are instances where i can't conceal any & all degrees of being distressed / upset, & repeatedly getting "it's hard for me too" as a Direct Response to that: really something & a half how the asserted theoretical Sympathy of [i feel similarly!] is invoked so as to, oh you know, preclude sympathetic Treatment. such as that what would be More sympathetic in these instances would be to say Nothing, "if there's nothing but dismissal / making it first & foremost about someone else's feelings to say, don't say it at all" style

She will die after one minor injury but that doesn’t stop her

#She has a fictional illness that gives her grey hair weak immune system and #loosely based off the other grey hair disorders with my own special touches #any injury confuses the body so it attacks itself which just makes shot worse. that plus weak immune system is a recipe for infection #she’s also blind due to it. #and has a myriad of sensitives too. glass bones and paper skin #all that be damned tho she wants to have some fun and some adventure!!! her ideas of which are very influenced by her novels #she loves fiction so much she reads most of the time #ocs #my art #my ocs
