Picked some magnolia petals and discovered as they started to wilt at creases they turned a beautiful warm brown color. Then got the idea to use a silverpoint stylus to scratch a magnolia drawing into the petal~ smells divine

Brush ~ Escoda Optimo liner/ Rosemary & Co detail brushes / Silver Black Velvet rounds/ Da Vinci Petit Gris Pur mop

Paint ~ Daniel Smith/ Mijello Gold

The legacies people leave behind in you.

My handwriting is the same style as the teacher’s who I had when I was nine. I’m now twenty one and he’s been dead eight years but my i’s still curve the same way as his.

I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in four years.

I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.

I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.

I learned to love books because my father loved them first.

How terrifying, how excruciatingly painful to acknowledge this. That I am a jigsaw puzzle of everyone I have briefly known and loved. I carry them on with me even if I don’t know it. How beautiful.

Duality is one of the things that makes Messmer such a complex, deep, and fascinating character. The feared demigod driven by righteous wrath, burning cities to ash to avenge his goddess mother’s people...and the broken being hidden beneath, a scorned son consumed by sorrow and by the serpent he carries within.

There is so much meaning in Messmer's character, not only in his past but in the motivations behind his actions. Anger, self-hatred, and the suppression of the part of himself that is perceived as wrong are probably the most evident of all. But if I had to choose the theme that I think feels the most powerful, I would say it is acceptance.

Acceptance of his nature when he shatters his eye-seal and releases the Abyssal Serpent. Acceptance of his own doom, and of the fact that his mother truly abandoned him when he realizes the end is near.

Pain and tragedy is what haunted Messmer through his whole life, nothing and no one could change that, but I like to think that through acceptance he found, at last, some measure of peace before death.

“It’s not that wet” 

(via)

[islakariese]

This cat strikes me as both fascinated by the sensation of the rain - the smell, sound, and feel of it - and completely mortified by the fact that it comes with being wet

[linguisticparadox]

This cat is like “I am enjoying approximately 75% of this experience but I’m not sure if it’s worth that other 25%”
