i have dreams about carrie’s bathroom

[dungeonsanddragonsfifthedition]

bear and bird are friends

[dungeonsanddragonsfifthedition]

sometimes this’ll get a burst of notes and that is strange. it’s nice, too, but it’s strange. i wrote and drew this at three am on a school night, right on the precipice of leaving high school, fearing change and fearing growth, because they were not things that had ever been kind to me. i decided, instead of panicking, i’ll draw a bear. and then, instead of trying to make the bear look perfect, i’ll draw a bird.

and it’s three am on a school night, yeah, so i’m looking out my window at the sky, and i’m thinking, i am so used to not wanting to be alive. but i did want to be alive, right then, and so i thought, why is that? when and how did i get to that point?

so i wrote it down, and i posted it, because my therapist told me that i should share more of my work, even if i think its points are hackneyed and its details are messy. and then, people liked it. which is so fucking weird. and kind. and good. and fucking weird.

basically: thank you for liking this. i’ve grown and i am growing, and i am not so scared anymore. i want to draw more birds and bears, someday. i hope you’ll like them, too.

tired of parents suggesting that every single thing that i enjoy doing be monetized

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

drawing? “you should go try for a tattoo apprenticeship!”

science? “you should get a degree in it from whatever university!”

video games? “you should stream!”

blogging? “you should partner with advertisers!”

snacks? baking? “you should sell them on instagram!”

crochet? soap? watercolor? “you should sell that on etsy!!”

why do i have to turn something i love into money? why can’t i just do it and be happy? what is the point of working myself to the bone for something i like? why? why? why?

there is no string of curses that so swiftly and thoroughly destroy my motivation and passion as “you could really do something with that”

i had a sudden and intense heart palpitation whilst i read this post and i thought to myself briefly that this would be the last thing i ever saw before i died

[earsplittingtrumpet]

[yrbutchgf]

““Caw, caw!” A huge black crow circled above me in the air and landed on a rock nearby. We looked at each other in silence. “Crow, are you a boy or a girl?” “Caw, caw!” I laughed and rolled over on my back. The sky was crayon blue. I pretended I was lying on the cotton white clouds. The earth was damp against my back. The sun was hot, the breeze was cool. I felt happy. Nature held me close and seemed to find no fault with me.”

gonna be cringe and acknowledge harry potter on main for a second just to say that the reaction to cedric diggory’s death in the goblet of fire is one of the most heartbreakingly tragic death scenes i’ve ever watched in a film

[valtsv]

the horrible dramatic irony you experience as an audience when harry returns with his body and everyone starts clapping and cheering, blissfully unaware of the absolute nightmare he’s just been through? the sudden mood whiplash when fleur screams in horror and the upbeat band music falters and stops? the horrified silence that follows, broken only by harry’s choked sobbing and amos diggory’s agonised screams of “THAT’S MY SON! THAT’S MY BOY!” ? harry clinging desperately to cedric’s corpse when they try to pull him away?

two kinds of people.

[primesinister]

you could put a dead body there and put a blanket on it and people would think they were just sleeping and it would be a great way to transport dead bodies inconspicuously.

HOW CAN YOU EVEN HAVE A GIF THAT’S THAT SPECIFIC?

[jessica-the-tank-deactivated202]

I agree, it is highly unnatural…

[ninja-pyro]

You might even say it’s ….. “Supernatural”

I haven’t seen a supernatural reaction pic exchange since the dark ages

This post has the same energy as 2012 Tumblr, and while it brings back ancient, strange memories, it also feels reassuring that some things will never change.
