Hey guys, Elan here.

Changed my username from LateNightElan → ArtPastMidnight !

You can now find me on ALL selling platforms like RB, S6, and TPublic all under the same username!

I know I haven’t been here in a while bc my body has been free falling since last August. You can find me on TikTok explaining it in detail.

I am feeling EXTREME guilt in not being able to do *anything* anymore, so I’m opening myself up for commissions as long as you can be patient with how long it takes.

Love & Miss y’all!

The ROUGHEST OF ROUGH DRAFTS of my new project, “WHY BUCKY’s HAIR HAS SUCKED SINCE CA:TWS”

All I can tell you is, if I HATE something VISUALLY, I will break it down so I can have ppl agree with me lol!

Realizing they styled his hair, like, 15 different ways inCA: TWS has been interesting, but I can’t believe they haven’t been able to get Bucky’s hair right for the past 11 years! It seems like a simple formula, but no stylist has been able to crack it since CA:TWS, and I’m MAD, ok???

[artpastmidnight]

thunderbolts* bucky

Soooo.... I FINALLY watched "thunderbolts*".

I will have to do a WHOLE ASS POST on WHY I HATE BUCKY'S HAIR SO MUCH IN EVERY. FUCKING. MOVIE. AFTER CA:TWS!

They just never know what to do with Bucky after CA:TWS, and I. AM. PISSED.

I have so many thoughts, but that blow-out and new costume for the new avengers were NOT IT.

I *DID* like how the movie depicted depression and CPTSD, though. Not enough, but it was a good start for such a mainstream movie. I'll give them that.

The evacuation prep poster is done! This poster is designed primarily with wildfires in mind, but the tips can apply to preparing for any much any disaster.

[[Image ID: A poster including a layered graphic showing what items to have ready to prepare for evacuating your home based on how much warning you have that you need to evacuate. The inner, red, level is labeled “No Warning.” The next, orange, level is labeled “Less Than an Hour.” The next, yellow, level is labeled “More Than an Hour.” The final, green, level is labeled “General Preparedness.” The items associated with each level and the text are included below. /end ID.]]

Evacuation Prep:

As the world changes, it is important to be prepared to safely and efficiently evacuate your home, potentially with little or no warning. Preparing ahead of time can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and help you evacuate safely if the time comes.

Red Level (No Warning): People | Pets | Keys. Human life matters most. If you can’t rescue your pets, let them out to give them their best chance. If evacuating by car, don’t forget your keys.

Orange Level (Less Than an Hour): Crucial Meds | Important Papers | Money | Paper Map | Pet Vaccination Records. Crucial meds and medical equipment. Papers including passports, birth certificates, medical records, etc.. Multiple forms of payment. Paper map with marked evac routes in case of signal loss. Phone. Most evac centers require vaccine records for pets to be allowed in.

Yellow Level (More Than an Hour): Photos | Hard Drives | Computers | Chargers | Irreplaceable Items | OTC Meds | Pet Supplies | Pet Food | Clothes | Weather Gear. Family photos. Hard drives and computers. Make digital backups ahead of time. Charging cords. Irreplaceable items such as collectibles and mementos. Over the counter medical supplies such as Aspirin and tampons. Pet supplies such as bowls, crates, toys, and litter. Pet food and treats. Clothes. If you are running out of time grab your laundry basket. Weather gear if needed.

Green Level (General Preparedness): Food | Water | Radio | N95 Masks | Multitool | Power Pack | Gas | Stove + Fuel | Flashlight | Toiletries | Emergency Contact Info | Bedding | First Aid | Can Opener. Easy prep, shelf-stable food. Water. Battery powered/rechargeable NOAA weather radio. N95 masks for smoke. A multitool. Rechargeable power pack for phones. Keep your car at least partially fueled at all times. Portable stove and fuel for cooking food without power. Flashlight and spare batteries. Toiletries including hair products, toothbrush and paste, etc.. Emergency contact info for friends and loved ones. Spare pillows and blankets. Dedicated first aid kit. Can opener.

Save yourself time and stress by preparing an evacuation bag ahead of time and keep it in an easy to access place. At the end of every season rotate out the perishable items within such as food, water, and medications. The more you can keep in the bag, the more time you’ll have to grab everything else. Remember, it is okay if you can’t do everything. Some preparation is better than no preparation.

If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

Hi guys, I dunno if any of you remember me after a few years of my absence, but my longtime handle names was "plays-with-shadows".

A LOT has happened in my years of absence, I almost died from an illness, and my 10+yrs estranged abusive father died suddenly the beginning of December 2024. I haven't made art in a good 2, 3 years.

However, I am currently infatuated with "Epic: The Musical", and it's enough to make me want to make fan art again. I might start uploading art for that again. Who knows.

I just hope that the ones still left on this platform are doing well.

Look for me in this space in 2025 ;)

common myths about migraines (AKA if you get headaches regularly, please seek treatment for migraines)

"i don't have migraines because while i get them several times a week, it's only when i am hungry or dehydrated."

those are probably migraines. thirst, hunger, sleep disturbances, or any disruption to routine are common migraine triggers.

"my headaches are specifically barometric related, i get them when the weather/altitude changes."

those are probably migraines. barometric pressure is a common migraine trigger.

"i get headaches all the time but ibuprofen gets rid of them so they can't be migraines."

that's not true. ibuprofen works great at relieving migraine pain for many people.

"my consistent headaches are tension headaches. i feel them originate in my neck/shoulders."

those are probably migraines. muscle tension is a common migraine trigger.

if you are regularly getting headaches (once a week or more), you are likely getting migraines. in fact, a good rule of thumb if you're consistently getting headaches is to treat them as migraines until you can rule out migraines. that's how common "chronic headache = migraine" actually is.

migraines are a neurological disorder wherein pain is one symptom. pain is often the MAIN symptom, and the most noticeable symptom, which can make diagnosis tricky. other symptoms of migraine include:

fatigue

nausea/vomiting

digestive issues

visual disturbances (auras)

sensitivity to light and/or sound

mood changes

brain fog/cognitive changes

ringing in the ears

dizziness/vertigo

numbness/weakness on one side of the body

this list is NOT complete, but is a starting point. i really like the comparison to a hangover. if you generally feel hungover when you get a headache (without having consumed alcohol), that's a classic migraine presentation.

so many people suffer from migraine and don't even know it, so they aren't able to advocate for themselves to get treatment. there are great new migraine treatments on the market! if you're able, please seek treatment for your migraines. a better quality of life is possible.

[keplercryptids]

here's some more myths! brought to you by the most frequent comments i get on my migraine posts.

"but migraines are extremely painful/debilitating and i can push through my pain."

migraines certainly can be debilitatingly painful. the pain can also be mild/easily treatable. it depends on the person and it depends on the day. regardless, your ability to live with chronic pain does not mean your pain isn't a problem!

"my headaches always have a direct cause/trigger so they can't be treated/they're my fault."

wrong! migraine is a sensory disorder in many respects. most/all migraines are triggered by something. avoiding triggers is good but isn't the whole story, and migraines with triggers can be treated effectively!

"i feel pain in (x) area of my head so it's not a migraine."

migraines can hurt in a specific area of the head/one half of a person's head. but this is not universally true for every person. please forget every silly infographic you've ever seen about areas of the head equaling different kinds of headaches. that's just literally false.

[rosslynpaladin]

"It's a tension headache so it's not a Migraine and it's never as severe-"

Found out that YES IT IS, it's nerve malfunction related tension and yes it can GET "that severe" if the nerve tension creeps up to hit the Trigeminal Nerve. I get nauseous, sensitive to sound and light, and theses headaches could put me in bed with misery and pain, and responded well to anti-inflammatory meds and caffeine (Which if it isn't a trigger for your migraines can be an effective treatment for a lot of kinds of nerve pain)

Got a lot of relief being on Magnesium glycinate, and using the aforesaid meds and caffeine as medication, as recommended by a neurologist. Ask your doctor what course they recommend for working out what sets off your Migraines, and what treatment might be best.

You hate yourself so loudly. You hate yourself at the top of your lungs. Your loathing for yourself permeates your speech. “Sorry I’m just rambling.” “Don’t worry about it.” “Just ignore me.” “Sorry if I’m annoying you.” “Sorry I don’t make sense.” “Sorry about that.” Sorry, sorry, sorry. You act as if you have to beat everyone else to the punch. As if the punching bag is you. If you hate yourself first, if you hate yourself loudest, then nobody will hurt you. You clapped your hands over your ears and shut your eyes and balled yourself up so that you’d never have to experience people’s loathing for you. And it meant you never heard their love. You drowned it out. You screamed your hatred over it. And you never got to hear it. 

[oldmanlogan]

can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike

[oldmanlogan]

i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster's demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there's a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.

im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board... like A Lot of shit is about to go down

we're about to see a lot more propaganda by more than just hollywood, we're about to see a lot of bullshit political moves on local, state, and federal levels. dont fall for it. workers have power.

It seems like there's more positivity on Tumblr than other platforms (*cough*Twitter*cough*). Like, you can say "I love you, bestie." without anyone calling you corny or childish.

Y'know what? Reblog this to let your besties know you love them.

[bauliya]

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here’s what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back

[bauliya]

someone should remake lord of the rings as a grandfather telling a fantasy story to his grand child with flashbacks to world war one showing the dead boys and men the characters were based on. grandpa why didn’t they just fly. because they didn’t. they didn’t.

[bauliya]

i’m fine

[horaitos]

being a fan of a character is sometimes “look at how complex he is. he’s so intricate and his story is so tragic and he’s so much more complicated than people give him credit for” and sometimes it’s like “haha look at this failure of a person. I wanna throw him off a cliff and see what happens”

[spooniestrong]

Remember: being in pain uses energy. There’s nothing wrong with taking a long nap or sleeping in late after being in pain all day. If you need to rest, do it; don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

Listen to your body and its needs.
