may I show you the result of a weird surge of determination, give or take 10 hours of work and definitely not enough sleep?

herend!Lando 🤍

I've always been in love with that pic of him and I was definitely gonna paint it one day. thanks to @fairielux and our conversation yesterday about Lando and his fucking beautiful helmet you get to see my take on this already. so, thank you, Lu. this literally wouldn’t exist without you. (at least not already.)

I know I've put like five other projects on hold for this but I just couldn't stop myself.

and yes, everything in this is indeed painted. by hand. digital art but still. I can’t really believe it myself when I look at it. this has to be my most favorite piece of art yet.

art tag list: @leftneb @slideleftt @oscatmeowstri @justwannabelovedbylou @fanboyoff1 @notheroicnotromantic @oopslandiia

if you want to be tagged whenever I post smth about my art - and writing soon - just let me know :) I'll happily put you on the list.

You say "thinking face", I say "being eaten-out face"

you can't post this and not add a fic rec 👀

seeing all this content around the monaco gp makes me realize that I really really wanna experience a race there. even tho it's probably gonna be expensive as fuck.

is there anyone I could persuade to go there with me next season? /hj [I'm nice, I promise.]

[mintraindrop]

they kinda look like they've settled well into being a married couple.

no, I mean it.

yes, I do have the monaco wedding suits from last year in mind. BUT. rpf aside - for a very short moment - they look so comfortable around one another? so calm and happy and just content to be there.

I love them so so much.

THEY HAVE MATCHING HELMETS 😭💛💙

no, you don't get it. I AM SO IN LOVE!!

try packing for vacation (including a flight that has certain packing requirements), while at the same time packing up your whole flat cause you're also moving out and into your car for the summer (and all of that has to be done in like four days) - with adhd.

my flat has never looked as messy as it does now AND I KEEP MISPLACING STUFF!!!

[mintraindrop]

THEY DID THAT THING FROM LAST YEAR WITH THE MUSIC I AM THE HAPPIEST PERSON ALIVE RN!!

Heyya, what about 9&10 (they ho together in my mind) and also 21? 😊

from this ask game

hii helloooo!! so good to have you here!! 💐🫶 and yeah, i can see why 9 and 10 go together.

9. Got any piercings?

yes! a belly button piercing. which I'm utterly in love with. (I always thought that I couldn't get one cause I'm a mid-size girl/don't have a flat stomach. bullshit! I got it last december and I'm so so so in love with it!! soon I'll be able to change the jewlery into smth even prettier!)

10. Want any piercings?

I do. I got my ear lobes pierced since I've been little. like, the "normal" ones. and a few years back I got a second lobe piercing but that one didn't heal well so now I only got the "normal" earrings. which is why I want more. and I'd looooove to get a helix and a conch. and maybe a nose piercing. yk, to be able to wear teeny tiny little glitterly jewlery on probably the left side of my nose. but I'm way too scared. of all of these. so for now I'll stick with my belly button piercing.

and I've already answered 21 here but I'll just give you that answer again. cause it's an important one as well. <3

21. What I love most about myself.

that I've grown into someone so open and joyful about life. I may still struggle with anxiety and self-doubt from time to time - sometimes heavier and more often, other times barely noticable - but there was a way darker time in my life. and I'm glad I made it out.

thank you for these asks!!

Hi :D 6&33 ?

from this ask game

hello my dear!! 💐 wonderful questions!

6. Age you get mistaken for.

people older than me always thought I was older. apparently because of the way I behaved and talked. when I was 13 people thought I was 16 and so on. during my first "real" job interviews at 21 people genuinely thought I was 30. or in my late twenties.

and people younger than me usually think I'm their age when often there's at least a five year gap.

yeah, idk either 🤭🤭

33. What words make me feel the best about myself?

hmm. that's usually when someone says they're proud of me? or when someone says how I helped them. just knowing that I could do smth nice for someone makes my day 🥰 a few days ago someone said I was very genuine and I've never heard that one before but it was also a very pretty word in that context.

19 and 38 💫

from this ask game

hi! hello! always a pleasure to see you 🫶🫶

19. A fact about your personality.

so I'm not entirely sure if this counts as part of my personality but I'm constantly being told I'm far too nice for this world. as in, I only see (or, wanna see) the good in people and I'm always nice even though sometimes I shouldn't be.

38. My childhood career choice.

as you can guess from my answer to no. 44, I always wanted to dig up dinosaurs. wanting to be a paleontologist is what followed me for years and who knows, maybe when I'm fifty, I'll go to university and study dinosaurs like I've always wanted 🤷‍♀️🦕

[mintraindrop]

for that 'nosy' ask game you reblogged - 42 and 44!!

from this ask game

hello dear!! 💐 lovely to have you here.

42. The last thing I ate.

you're gonna laught cause I'm gonna sound like Lando... a chicken wrap 🤭

44. A random fact about anything.

Tyrannosaurier - which in itself is a genus that includes many types of Tyrannosaurus species; one of which is the Tyrannosaurus Rex - most likely lived in social groups and might have behaved similar to wolf packs. which included not only hunting together but also caring for one another. they weren't stupid. they were intelligent.

39 & 21

from this ask game

hello my love!! glad to have you here 🧡

39. My favorite ice cream flavor.

that's an easy one. stracciatella. I'd die for that one!! I really wanna have one now 🥺

21. What I love most about myself.

that I've grown into someone so open and joyful about life. I may still struggle with anxiety and self-doubt from time to time - sometimes heavier and more often, other times barely noticable - but there was a way darker time in my life. and I'm glad I made it out.

thank you for this ask 🥺❤️ I love you so so much!!!

[mintraindrop]

hi 🧡

25 for ask game

from this ask game

hello my dear!! 🧡 thank you for that ask!

25 My idea of a perfect date.

ooh I like that one!! hmm. so it should definintely include a walk somewhere pretty. no hiking, just a calm walk, maybe during sunset or underneath a starry sky?

or. the aquarium. god how I'd LOVE for someone to take me there. please please someone take me to the aquarium!! holding hands and any kind of soft and gentle touches while we watch all the fishies go on about their day and stare at jellyfish with wonder in our eyes and watch turtles glide majestically through the water. please. I want that one.

and afterwards (we stayed there til closing hours btw) we go to the next ice cream parlor and we each get whatever we want before we walk back home. maybe taking a detour to walk along the river for a bit? and then we both pluck a flower at the same time - totally coincidental - and give it to each other.

and once we're home (or at a hotel or wherever we are) we let the TV play smth calm in the background while we cuddle. and maybe kiss a little.

it's as simple as that. I'd be the happiest person 🥺❤️

1, 3 and 4

from this ask game

ooohh interesting 👀🤭 I like these

1. Virgin? no. part of me wants to say "sadly" but the bigger part of me is glad that I've had these experiences and that this isn't a big unknown anymore.

3. Do you smoke? nope. never have, never will. didn't even have my "first cigarette" or however that one's called. it stinks and it's terribly unhealthly so there's that. you could say, for this topic at least, I am a virgin.

4. Do you drink? uhm. water? every day 🤭 but this is about alcohol, I guess, so the answer to that one is a no again. I think I had maybe five drinks in my 26-year-old life so far and honestly? I wanna keep it that way. I have tried different types of alcohol, yes, and all of them taste bad. because of the alcohol in them... and it's unhealthy again. well 🤷‍♀️

thank you for those asks 🫶

Dear Min

How can I know if the fic I'm reading is AI ? Very scared to fall into the trap without noticing

Your Obedient Servant

Dear Obedient Servant (I really love your sign off btw🤭)

that is a very good question. but I fear I'm not really the right person to ask that. I also struggle with identifying ai fics and I fear most of the time I don't notice. but that's probably true for most people. I think.

AND - my personal opinion - I also think that you can't ever say for sure if smth is ai. [unless you ask the author and the author answers truthfully.]

for some time everyone thought that you can tell if a fic is written by ai if there are (a lot?) of em dashes. nah. not as a general rule anyway. ai steals from human made stories and humans love using em dashes. therefore ai written fics also include em dashes. and this goes for so many more "tells".

tho for me the biggest clue is probably if the characterization is off. I can't really give you an example but with ai the characters usually feel flat and kind of "off center". they don't feel authentic. and they say and do things that are very illogic; both for the people they stand for and the way the story goes. sometimes the story as a whole makes sense but the way the characters behave is just so off.

but then again, you can't always be 100% sure imo. but enjoying a fic and finding out it's purely ai and you didn't notice you've been reading stolen goods hurts a lot.

my personal view on this? using ai to write (or "draw", cause this includes art as well!) anything really is a big no no. whether if be fics or an assignment for school or anything else. just sit down and write it yourself. it may be shit in the beginning but it will get better. and there is nothing quite like finishing a story - or picture - that you've created with your own hands and imagination ❤️

to come back to your question, My Obedient Servant, I don't have an answer. not a satisfying one anyway. you can go for "official tells" like em dashes but that's not a general rule. most of the time smth might feel off. that's at least how I do this. and sometimes your friends and moots here on tumblr have your back and tell you if smth you might have reblogged is seemingly ai.

I hope I could help you with this. at least a little. and I hope you have a wonderful day 🧡 may you find many beautiful non-ai fics!!
