hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

"You play beautifully."

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Translating this into tumblr's preferred public service announcement format for this kind of alert:

And so it begins my weeks of testing for health issues. I’m also kinda freaking out because I didn’t know my EMG was going to involve needles… and it’s too late to get an anxiety med 🙃 but labs are done for the GI. Pain Dr. today. PT evaluation on Monday for the bursitis in my hip that’s making it hard to do much. - CT next week but I have to pick up my contrast before that. Followed by the gastric emptying study… followed by the EGD/Colonoscopy to figure out wtf is going on with my body that I continue to look considerably pregnant after I eat anything.

Oh but the Gabapentin has helped a lot with the neck pain.

[toastjadan]

I’m not sure, I tried 😌

Now KISS

I’m opening my art and sewing commission’s.

My health has been in the literal garbage, so I’m in need of some supplemental income at the moment.

I’ve also been submitting applications like crazy for a second job and theres been no bites.

This is the first month I’ve been genuinely worried about if I’m gonna get to eat or have gas and be able to pay rent.

My Venmo is kruble93 if anyone is in a place to give. Or reach out for a commission.

Unpopular (?) (actually idk the popularity level) opinion:

I greatly prefer the POTO productions that replace Christine’s second kiss with a hug.

Cause what really does the Phantom in isn’t that a beautiful girl is willing to kiss him, it’s that no one has ever recognized that he’s a person and has the same needs, aspirations, desires, etc, as everyone else. It gets across that he’s unaccustomed to and amazed by ANY affection, not just romantic.

I don’t really see this interpretation much anywhere but I think the fact she’s doing this for Raoul’s sake is actually part of his change of heart. First of all, I’m certain by that point he was convinced that Christine was going to say no and save herself instead, but she doesn’t. She’s not only willing to sacrifice herself to save Raoul, an incredible act of love and selflessness, but she recognizes the horrors the Phantom had to experience to become so cruel and chooses to give herself up for his sake too. Instead of simply agreeing to stay with him with as much coldness as she can muster.

He has every reason to believe the only reason empathy exists is because there are people who just haven’t learned they must be selfish to survive. But Christine still did what she did after clearly losing her innocence. Even though she’s grown to understand the cruelty of the world and is now capable of true malice, greed, and hate, she chooses not to use them despite having every right to. She’s no longer naive, and she is still kind. That’s something the Phantom didn’t think was possible until now.

Great point OP, I agree with the point of view that Erik is really really touch starved, so it’s not only his first kiss, but also the first time someone hugs him and that breaks his heart even more ❤️‍🩹

Also I see your tags and now I remember clearly it was that version of the show that I watched SO MANY TIMES back in the 2000s
