Hello! I’m Parker!

My main is basically just for me to lurk, so any actual posts I make are gonna be here now. It just feels less cluttered. This was originally going to be just my art blog but I think I’ll probably treat it more like a regular blog. (My main where I follow from is @/bee-bumble)

I have a whole lot of interests and I rapidly switch through them. I won’t go through the trouble of listing them all, but the fandoms you’ll most likely see me mainly post about are Dream SMP, My Little Pony, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Little Nightmares!

My art is under the tag: #park’s arts

Okay, now usually I don’t see too much of a point in a whole dni list but since I am in the dsmp fandom, I feel the need to clarify:

DNI supporters of CC!Dream, dreamteam , and CC!Wilbur Soot/William Gold

Everything I post about the dsmp is entirely about the characters as completely separate and disconnected from the streamers that played the characters.

And in general, I don’t want people who are assholes and discriminatory near me. I’m not going to bother adding further clarification.

The hardest part about turning a fanfiction into an original story has to be the pain of deleting all the fun little references to the source material

It is Pride Month and this is a great reminder to not only accept who you are but be proud of who you are

There's a shot near the end of PHM that reminded me of the first piece of artwork made in space:  “Orbital Sunrise" 1965

The shot is around 2:27:01 and looks like this:

This is the sketch done by Alexei Leonov using special pencils that were created to be used in orbit drawn during the Voskhod 2 mission (the first space walk!)

I wanted to find a source for this image:

which is somewhat well known but I could find a reference or a source for it :<

But! Leonov was an accomplished artist who made many works involving cosmonauts and space:

Daybreak, 1980s:

Sunrise at the space, 1970s:

Here are some similar paintings he created^^

But it looks soo similar I cant help but think that it was inspired by Leonov's art

Here's a favorite of mine:

The Earth viewed from the Moon (ca. 1970)

I love Project Hail Mary and I love art and art of space in particular, and these illustrations are gorgeous and fitting for inspiration for the film

Today in the history of astronomy, Alexei Leonov makes history’s first EVA.

The Sun rises over Earth in a postcard illustrated by Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, recalling the 1965 mission when he became the first human to walk in space.

Alexei Leonov was a prolific and talented artist, and drew and painted many pictures inspired by his experiences in space

This particular picture is rather special though, because he drew the first draft for it while in space using coloured pencils he took with him:

They couldn’t have cast Quincey’s VA better because I genuinely feel like I’m going crazy listening to his dialogue to Lucy

Finally catching up on Dracula Daily because May 16 made me too excited to read or listen to any of it. Classic normal person moment

[parking-spot]

So after watching Project Hail Mary and looking for some fun fanart what I’m getting is I REALLY need to watch Iron Lung

[parking-spot]

Finally watched Project Hail Mary and I’m not much of a sci-fi guy but it was so good??? I see the hype now I understand it so much. All the characters are so endearing

Started a new coping mechanism for work where everytime an Ed Sheeran song comes on I imagine him doing the stanky leg

Things I got unnecessarily heated about today:

-Got a Mountain Dew from the vending machine and an “American Dew” came out of the machine

-Saw 2 posts about Dracula the novel full of comments of people confusing it for being about Hotel Transylvania

Checking Dracula Daily at work

[parking-spot]

“When I go there I shall be all alone, and…my friend Jonathan Harker will not be by my side to correct and aid me. He will be in Exeter, miles away, probably working at papers of the law with my other friend, Peter Hawkins.”

Why does bro sound jealous 😭 it’s giving “you’re gonna leave me like everyone else”

[parking-spot]

Still so funny to me that Jonathan’s priority truly was his food blog. He keeps it real

[parking-spot]

I love having the physical book in my hands but I think my favorite way to read Dracula is to listen to it while on a night walk

[parking-spot]

I don’t think I’m going to try to post about each day of Dracula Daily this year just because I don’t want to force myself to find things to say, although it was a good way to encourage me to keep up and reflect last year
