TØP Art for my friend!!

Hope you don't the kinda ass quality, my camera was not cooperating. This piece was made for my friend's birthday, and since they love the Scaled and Icy album so much, I based it off that! The paper I cut from one of my sketchbooks, and dyed with hand-ground coffee beans and two tea bags. Needless yo say the paper smells heavenly but also was a bit of a pain to paint on. (I guess that's why it's called PAINt? Ha? Haha? No? Alright). I tried to make this piece look like a medieval scroll of some sort, and I also framed it for them because they deserved a wonderful birthday full of love 🩵🩷

Remember Wattpad?

Hey guys, been a hot minute. Life's been lifing, kicking my ass. Anyways, I randomly remembered I had a Wattpad from the ancient times and somehow logged in. Holy shit. It's so unfamiliar now, and all the works I had posted or had saved are such relics of the past to me. It literally feels like I'm 13 laying on my cousin's couch late at night discovering that there were fanfics and meme groups on there. Anyone else just use wattpad to cry? Cause I am rn.

Let's do something witchy!

so uh, my mental health had been dog turds this week. I'm getting help soon though, but in the meantime, here's a witch's broom I made for my front door, and what it represents.

Stick- stability, especially because of the giant pin oaks in my front yard, I wanted that to be an essence in my lil craft here.

Golden rod- for abundance, joy, and calling healing towards me (since it's a medicinal plant, I am pulling that energy towards me.)

Hairy aster (the white flowers)- Since it's a late summer/early fall bloomer, I'm using this energy to help me remember that I can continue to grow and "blossom" in these darker months upcoming. To remind me to keep going.

Lady's thumb (pinky flowers)- this is a soil indicator plant that can pull loads of nitrite from the soil. In this sense, I am using this to pull the negativity and blockages from my life.

catnip- for bringing peace, relaxation, and some beauty to my troubled self right now

Fox fur- This little tuft (that my brother's fuck ass dog chewed up while I was AT THE DOCTOR'S) is to represent weathering the winter. I will survive, just as they do. I will be okay, I will keep going.

Drawing my AJ OC's!

I've gotten back into art recently and uh oh, obsession time. Animal Jam brainrot has expanded to my hands. Little me never drew her characters, and I cannot explain to you how much I'm enjoying this. I'm even creating lore??!! Enjoy my two Rads, I will be updating with more art soon!!

CHAT I AM FREAKING OUT

So I was on AJ Classic in Sarepia Forest, just roleplayong by myself. When strangers would approach me, I was acting like a cryptic spirit. Well this wolf comes out of nowhere and tries to trade a black long for my nm yellow scarf (rare), and I thought it was a scammer. Mind you, I have NEVER met a Jambassador before, and I am returning after nearly 5 years of hiatus. He gifted me the spike anyway!! So I googled "Ghostie" to make sure it was legit.... AND OMFGGHHH so I sent the scarf back as thanks!! I'm freaking shaking, little me would have fainted. This is so cool, I'm never getting rid of that collar. WTH AHHHHHH

TOOTHLESS IRL??!!

Saw this last night and rushed to take a picture before the wind could change the clouds. Looks just like Toothless taking a flight under the moon to me!

Muscadine Magic

So, at the end of every summer, right around now in September, the Muscadine grapes are in full swing. The leaves are big and full, and the bush is still growing. It's a staple in my family, and I always will remember my grandpa's jelly he made from the red fruits. It is for this reason I bring to you a simple spell. Gather a few stems (if your bush is large, like ours) and weave them into a wreath! As the season changes, this is to symbolize prosperity and closeness/comfort to the family in the coming winter months. I do this just about every year, and it's a wonderful decor piece and secret charm!

KPDH sing along!

Last night my boyfriend and I went to the Kpop Demon Hunters theatrical release. There wasn't a lot of peoppe in our theater, since I could only get tickets for the latest showing, but it was awesome!! I did an eyeshadow look based off of Derpy and golden eyeliner for, well, Golden. He actually sang along with me and it made me feel so seen and loved. What an awesome even that was!!!

New Altar!!!

Yesterday my room was feeling a little icky and rotten, so I cleaned my room and redid my altar, consecrating it to The Morrigan. I wanted to share the picture of it here, because I'm super happy and proud over it!

Playing Animal Jam Again!

Today is my fifth full day of no Youtube, since I put myself on a two week boycott from their new system. I've been doing just about everything else- reading, some sketching (among pet sitting for two houses), and my boyfriend downloaded Animal Jam Classic for me! I've been having a blast. I love being an adult with adult money, so I can get my own membership and not beg my mother

[mausley]

Went looking through one of my first ever sketchbooks today. Here's a few snippets! I was deep in the youtube culture at this time, haha. I don't remember where the bunnies/blob creatures are inspired from, but the bug critter is def inspired by Invader Zim. I was so cute 😊

Making a Tumblr in 2025?!

Uhhh...hello!!! This is my first time ever on Tumblr. I've been a lurker for years, through youtube and pinterest, but this is my first ever time actually in the trenches. A little nervous and overstimulated, but I'm here!!
