“Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.”

— Seamus Heaney

you’re not hopeless you’re just really really tired and in desperate need of a break and im shaking you by the shoulders and telling you that all is not hopeless but you do need to rest

akindplace

you’re not an inherently bad person you’re just exhausted and you’re thinking about all of your mistakes but forgetting the good you do. fatigue is lying to you, just take a nap if you can for the love of god before you start apologizing just for existing

#froggy talks real life #I actually just gave some friends permission to do a 'hey hon u take ur meds?' if I'm everything is hopeless-ing #because pretty much every time I do it's actually a migraine and is the first sight of my brain melting #'my study permit is doomed and I'm not gonna make it to grad school and all is hopeless and lost'#hey babe. do you need a migraine med? and perchance possibly a lie down in the dark?

#i was sceptical for a minute cause these illustrations don't match the plants in every case#(rounded dandelion leaves serrated willow leaves same leaves on crocus and aloe etc)#but these are the section headers NOT illustrations/representations of individual flowers#anyways. found a link. gorgeous book.

I just learned that they filmed PHM in order, and I am weirdly excited about it. One of the things that frustrates me most about filmed mediums, specifically, is that it's SO much more difficult for actors to be in character, locked in, when they haven't experienced something yet. It also allows for less improvisation (something they held in high esteem for PHM and is yet another thing I love about this film) due to continuity problems. Filming it in order also meant that Ryan Gosling had already spent weeks filming alone before Rocky showed up, which he himself said in an interview made it so much easier to embody Ryland. "By the time Rocky shows up, I genuinely need a friend." Direct quote!!! The fact that James Ortiz and his team were in sync enough with the Rocky puppet to do improv, so much so that Ryan didn't feel like he was acting with a puppet. The fact that Gosling selected this film specifically, asked Chris and Phil to direct, and then committed SO HARD to the character. He was SO involved in making this movie and it shows! I thought I was over it but I am not. Film of the decade for me guys.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

Here’s HSTHETE, the 24 hour comic I drew this year! Thanks to everybody who followed along on twitter this weekend as I posted these pages <3

PS: if you liked this, there’s a whole book of these comics available now!

I’m reblogging this 7-year-old comic of mine because, not only is it somehow still circulating, it just passed 400,000 notes??? Thank you, several hundred thousand internet strangers, for keepin’ this ol’ goat girl goin’ so long

(Also hi, I’m still making fairy-tale-flavored lesbian romance comics and have a new one coming out very soon…)

This reads like a folklore-ish fairytale, with a comic having such a soft yet vibrant color pallete. The fact the the story ends with the woman not only getting seen, but also by someone worth being seen by, is truly romantic and magically pleasing.

And also GAY!
