I maintain that Hey There Delilah by Plain White Tees is a 450% better song if it’s about a guy who’s lost custody of his daughter

[exigencelost]

Literally every lyric has so much more Energies if it’s sung to a child I’m gonna die on this hill. “Hey there, Delilah /Don’t you worry about the distance /I’m right there if you get lonely /Give this song another listen” and “Hey there, Delilah/ I know times are gettin’ hard /But just believe me, girl / Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar / We’ll have it good /We’ll have the life we knew we would / My word is good” like? He’s trying to get his daughter back? Idk if she’s with the other parent or in foster care or what but it’s So Much I have a lot of feelings about this. The repeated promises, “I’d walk to you if I had no other way” and “I’m right there when you get lonely” when, like, obviously, he’s not, and he’s just sort of desperately hoping that she still understands that he loves her, and that she doesn’t feel abandoned. And then, “Delilah, I can promise you /That by the time that we get through / The world will never ever be the same /And you’re to blame” that’s so fucking sweet? That’s such a sweet thing to say to your daughter. Romance is over. Noncustodial parental love songs are where it’s at.

This is what “death of the author” means. We know that’s not what the song was written about, but what if it was? What if we explored the lyrics as though the speaker was a heartbroken father missing his daughter? It changes EVERYTHING. And it’s so good.

Anyway, OP you are wonderful and I love you.

Listening to it thinking of this made it so good. Thanks op

I had a dream that the king and the queen of a small country had a daughter. They needed a son, a first-born son, so in secret, without telling anyone of their child’s gender, they travelled to the nearby woods that were rumoured to house a witch.

They made a deal with that witch. They wanted a son, and they got one. A son, one made out of clay and wood, flexible enough to grow but sturdy enough to withstand its destined path, enchanted to look like a human child. The witch asked for only one thing, and that was for their daughter.

They left the girl readily.

The witch raised her as her own, and called her Thyme. The princess grew up unknowing of her heritage, grew up calling the witch Mama, and the witch did her very best to earn that title.

She was taught magic, and how to forage in the woods, how to build sturdy wooden structures and how to make the most delicious stews. The girl had a good life, and the witch was pleased.

The girl grew into a woman, and learned more and more powerful magics, grew stronger from hauling wood and stones and animals to cook, grew smarter as the witch taught her more.

She learned to deal with the people in the villages nearby, learned how to brew remedies and medicines and how to treat illness and injury, and learned how to tell when someone was lying. 

Every time the pair went into town, the people would remark at just how similar Thyme was to her mother. 

(Thyme does not know who and what she is. She does not know that she was born a princess, that she was sold. She only knows that one night after her mother read her a story about princesses and dragons, her mother had asked her if she ever wanted to be a princess.)

((Thyme only knows that she very quickly answered no. She likes being a witch, thank you very much, she likes the power that comes with it and the way that she can look at things and know their true nature.))

The witch starts preparing the ritual early, starts collecting the necessities in the winter so they can be ready by the fall equinox. Her daughter helps, and does not ask what this is for, just knows that it is important.

The witch looks at Thyme, both their hands raised into the air over a complicated array of plants, tended carefully to grow into a circle, and says, sorry.

Hi, I just want to say how much I love your work (I found you through the Baby Marinette stuff), and now I'm laughing at your captions to works of art. XD (Question: Do you do commissions? Just curious.)

Hi there! Thank you so much, I love hearing people enjoy my work 🥰🥰🥰

As for commissions, I want to!

But Id have to figure out how to price items first.

Thanks for asking!💖💖💖

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow

Classic animators doing reference poses for their own drawings. I’m in love with these images.

[auilix]

Part of the reason animators like to work alone, late at night when no one is watching.

Aaaaaand THIS is how our princesses show up. Excited to share this black princess series which was a personal project orchestrated by Hair by LaChanda. The mission was to redefine and reimagine the traditional princess with our own dash of style, culture and swag. 🥰❤️ Thanks to all of the models and vendors who helped bring this project together. ⁣Photography: CreativeSoul Photography Hair/Creative Direction: Hair by LaChanda

Online and basic etiquette

Just some thoughts I wish to part for people, because I feel once more people need a reminder. 1. You are not owed anything from content creators. Unless you literally commissioned from them something, they owe you nothing. 2. Having headcanons that are not always supported by canon is ok. In fact, that is what most headcanons are. 3. Anything pre-2008 is going to be far less conscious of social issues/bad words than anything written today. People as a whole were not as aware of some things or how they affected people. 4. Online is (mostly) forever, us older folks might have some really dumb stuff left on our old blogs. That does not reflect us today. 5. Online is forever, so think twice about sharing or saying anything you don’t want people to know on any platform. Consider ANYTHING posted on Tumblr and Instagram as public knowledge.

6. Beware of echo chambers. If no one disagrees at all in a group, you need to get out. All who do not agree with you are not malicious. 7. Pick your fights carefully. Sometimes, venting to a friend is better than replying to something that upsets you.

8. Your kink is not my kink and that is ok. Excluding pedophilia, people have very damn varied things they like. Often upsetting ones to some. Do not label these people as bad just because they like darker things.

9. Guilt tripping is less effective than bare facts.

10. Don’t only wallow in negativity.

ONE of those lines must be right, right?!

[monyblogs]

Hey :) I was wondering, how would you feel if someone reblogged your art but also wrote a long comment (about the piece of art) under it? I've seen gifmakers complain about the "essays" written under their gifs and idk what artists think about it.

Well, Idk about gif makers, Anon, but I personally
