Optimism is the motto! @moss-sama - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to my blog! I mostly post art, be it finished or not-

Please be aware that English isn't my first language, it's Afrikaans. So my spelling and grammar isn't 80% most of the time- I'm studying Japanese on the side, still trying my best even if it's slow going.

Current obsessions are Twisted Wonderland, One Piece and Tokyo Debunker.

Fun Fact: 21C is cold and I've never seen snow-

I don't do commissions- I have thought about it but decided against it for now.

Programs: CSP (Clip Studio Paint) and Krita

Drawing Tablet: VEIKK S640 (I also have another one that acts as a second screen, but I don't use it as much.)

Tags I use: my art (Self explanatory, things I drew/made)

Ko-fi | Carrd | Inprnt (in the works)

You don't need to be the best version of yourself to go to Jesus.

You don't need that mask you wear to seem perfect.

You don't need to pretend anymore.

He loves you, the you you hid away, the you who you're trying to protect. He loves you even when you think no one does, He loves you even when you can't love yourself.

Come to him as you are, not the one who you are pretending to be.

#He loves you #just felt like someone needed to hear this #he never hid his face from you #he's waiting for you #come back home #your Father is waiting for you #Jesus

I am someone who listens to the lyrics when a song plays.

#I don't like listening to secular music anymore #that's why i don't know what's popular or not #some of the lyrics are crazy or delulu and i don't want it to affect me cause they do-#i still got my favourites but i only listen to them sometimes-#just like how i stopped going on tiktok it influences me in such a bad way that i just stay away-#now if you'll excuse me #incoherent rant

Just remembered a topic we had in Ugroup; "Who am I?"

And I remembered the response my friend gave.

"My personality isn't who I am, it's how I am. My job isn't who I am, it's what I do. My hobbies isn't who I am, it's my interests. The way I dress isn't who I am, it's what I like to wear. The only answer I can give is who God says I am, and that's a child of God."

#this got me thinking for a long time #how do we know who we are when it keeps changing? one day we are this the other day that #but God knows who we are #now if you'll excuse me #incoherent rant #we don't know who we are but our creator does

I wonder if anyone else remembers rekspring?

#if you're going to google just type 'rekspring'#don't translate it or you'll get bungee jumping #which it is not-#it was a school yard game you did with friends or chairs if you had noone to hold the elastic band

I don't have a knife, but I got a spoon-

#we don't have a knife at work #needed one to cut my sandwich #so i used a teaspoon-#it works amazingly well ngl

I did make an extra booking-

#maybe i should tell her she can bring a friend with?#now if you'll excuse me

Had a fleeting thought, rather than booking for the trail ride, I book for a cow drive- that's 4 hours..

#jk #i won't do that to them-#for now-#now if you'll excuse me

Lightly touching old twigs still attached to a bush.

The twigs: I away-

#they just shoot away-

Nervous for my grading tomorrow-

moss-sama

So it wasn't a grading grading, it was an assessment grading to see if we are ready for the real grading at the end of the year-

#Apparently I scream really well-#as in my kiais- those HAI YAH stuff #messed up two of my stuff- one's steps looked off and one i needed to bring the sword straight up instead of around-#everyone heard how i was breathing and now i am called a coo coo train by my friend-#and my friend also told me you could see the tip of my sword shaking from how nervous i was #little did they know my legs were also shaking but the hakama hid it-#i was a literal chihuahua #sensei sent us videos of our assessment grading so that we can see for ourselves- I am too embarrassed to look-

Just did a silly walk to calm myself down and made myself laugh for 15 minutes-

#doing stuff i did as a kid and amusing myself #it did the trick #now when I'm nervous i remembered that walk #now if you'll excuse me #incoherent rant

I now know why I like the Whitebeard crew so much.

Whitebeard reminds me of God, he adopts those who don't know they are lost, Whitebeard just scoops them up and gives them a place in the world they can call home and those who they can call family, willingly or unwillingly.

And that's what God does, minus the forced adoption-. He finds his lost sheep and brings them home, he calls us sons and daughters even when we don't want him to, but he gives us a choice of running to him and when we do, he'd run to you and pull you into his arms and welcome you home. [Luke 15:11-32]

Whitebeard, after Teach killed Thatch, decided to let Teach go, not to chase him down for revenge, because he was his son too.

God gave us grace and mercy when we didn't deserve it, because he loves us.

I love the Whitebeard crew, because it's a family, a makeshift family of people who didn't have a place in the world was given a place, no matter where they come from, who they were or who their parents are and in a roundabout way, I was looking for all that God could give me unknowingly, but now I know-

#now if you'll excuse me #incoherent rant #one piece #funny isn't it? that anything we long for connects back to God #Freedom? you'll find it in God #Hope? you'll find it in God #Faithfulness? you'll find it in God #saw a post the other day and they said 'I wonder what God's laugh would sound like.' and my instant thought was 'free.'

Actively turning myself into a pirate crew-

#did sharpshooting in high school #now doing swordsmanship the zoro way #sailing to be done- they prob teach me some weather predictions and navigation-#woodworking is on the list to make stuff- like my own dinghy so technically a shipwright-#chinese medicine is interesting and effective so my own barefoot doctor if that's what's it called-
