Ostensibly Existential

A blog of arty things.

[ostensiblyexistential]

I am super late putting these up, but here are the pumpkins my partner and I carved for Halloween. Mine is the Kuchisake-onna (slit-mouth woman).

I adore my partner’s eye. I think next year, I’ll take some inspiration from him and, uh, make a simpler design.

Artists who make tutorials about how to draw people/body parts and separate things by “male” and “female” should uuuuuuuuhhhhhh stop doing that.

Headache

[ostensiblyexistential]

TBT to a time before I knew it was actually migraines I was getting.

(Praise be to migraine medication.)

It’s International Cat Day! So here are some photos of my boys getting in the way of sorry, helping me in my artistic endeavors.

questions: 17?

17. Who would be your ideal partner?

Someone who is kind, sweet, gentle, patient, sensitive, thoughtful, and a good listener. Someone whose core values generally match with mine. Pluses include goofy sense of humor and can reach the shelves I can’t.

Luckily for me, these are all attributes my partner has, so I am already in an ideal match! :3

Oh no! I have forgotten a major thing because I am a fool in a human suit.

This is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever written.

PROMPT: Lord Vader storms aboard your starship

CHALLENGE: You’re throwing him a surprise birthday party

"Surprise!" we all shout as we pop up and throw confetti.

"A birthday party," Lord Vader notes. He sounds... unimpressed. My heart flutters.

"Um, yeah." I fidget in the awkward silence. "Here!" I say, rushing to the counter to grab the pan. "I made you chocolate muffins!" They're decorated with mini Death Stars.

"Muffins? Those are not traditional."

"No," I say. "I thought-"

My breath cuts off. The muffin pan clangs to the floor. I look up to see Lord Vader's outstretched hand.

The last thing I hear as my vision goes black: "I find your lack of cake disturbing."

Me: *writes 440 words of flash fiction*

Me to me: Put five semicolons in it.

[ostensiblyexistential]

Peaches and plums…


*sobs uncontrollably*


Thoughts in the tags as there will be season 4 finale spoilers.

Hey there!I just wanna say that you seem to be a awesome person and I wish you a nice week :)

Thank you so much! Sorry I took so long answering you. I wanted to draw a little thank you animation, but I was tied up for a bit with some other work.
