There is always something worth fighting for

Jude-27 I mostly reblog, occasionally make illustrations or other art. I don’t have a specific blog theme and will post and reblog randomly. There will be spoilers for whatever I’m into at the time. I’m really invested in both Hollow Knight and Silksong right now.

i am genuinely so curious as to what went into the skyrim design choice that, when enemies are low health, they beg for their lives…but if you leave them, they just get straight back up again and start killing you

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

Dibaeis absoluta

OK, so why does this lichen look like it is growing mushrooms, even though these are decidedly not mushrooms? My first answer is "just to fuck with you," but D. absoluta evolved long before humankind, nonetheless you specifically. So my second answer is because the mushroom shape just makes functional sense when you want to produce a fruiting body by maximizing the physical area that produces spores, and raising them above the substrate by a thin stalk so they can get caught in and distributed by wind. Ok, so they are the spore producing structure of fungi, shaped like that, how are they not mushrooms? Mushrooms are we typically think of them are the reproductive structures of basidiomycete fungi, the spores are typically released from the lower surface of the fruiting bodies like this:

And in an ascocarp, the reproductive structure of an ascomycete fungi like that of D. absoluta, the spores are released from the upper surface of the fruiting bodies. So like this:

OK this is waaayyy simplified. There are also a bunch of internal physiological differences but you, dear reader, can look those up yourself if you are curious about the nuances of fungal development. But very generally speaking, basidiospores come out the bottom, ascospores come out the top.

So not tiny mushrooms, but very very cute just as they are!

Bilewater, my beloved

I’m happy with how this turned out! I’ve made a whole little comic, I’m so excited to post it! Just figuring out the best way to crop it.

This was made with Holbein Artist’s Gouache, Prismacolor Pencils, and Sakura Pigma Micron pens. It’s in my normal sketchbook, I don’t remember what kind of paper it is.

«The Secret of the Evening Lake»

Sometimes we all long for a little more silence and peace, especially when life feels full of noise, emotions, and endless thoughts.For me, the most comforting subject to paint is always sunsets and sunrises. I love the way warm glowing colors meet cool shadows, creating those brief moments when everything feels balanced and calm.While working on this painting, I kept thinking it needed something more. I tried adding people, then birds, then tiny insects. Later I experimented with shimmering lights, almost like fireflies dancing above the water. In the end, I stopped before fully developing them.At some point I realized that this landscape didn’t need anyone or anything else. Its quietness was already enough.So I left it exactly as it is.Wishing you a moment of stillness, peace, and the chance to spend time either with yourself or with the people who make you feel at home.

Hollow Knight Art Month Day 29

Days 25-28

Paintings from a couple southeastern grand canyon trips. Posted a few of these before, finally got around to scanning them.

[bedupolker]

Collection of paintings created on Steck's Tapeats/Kanab Creek Route at Grand Canyon, simultaneously one of the most rugged and rewarding routes I've done. Shoutout to my buddy for patiently waiting for me to finish between the chossy death scrambles, raft hitchhiking, rock hopping, and slot canyon climbing.

[lucybellwood]

a) I love these SO much, utterly gorgeous, full of life and energy

b) I extra love seeing paintings of places and going "Oh my god I've BEEN THERE" because I've also painted them. This is a janky scan from 2013, but Deer Creek!

Painting or drawing cements places in memory in a totally different way from taking photos and it rules

[bedupolker]

aw I love seeing different interpretations of the same place! I remember those hand prints too, I totally missed them when i visited for the first time in 2024, some looked small enough to be kids' hands (dw not touching them here) didn't see any scrorps this round but got to find a pseudoscorpion that my camera was determined not to focus on.
