It’s finally finished!! 😭

THIS TOOK FOUR DRAFTS AND TWO WHOLE MONTHS. I took creative liberty with the east exterior wall (see below), because we never see it, but other than that… I’d say it’s pretty accurate? Although please excuse my poor calligraphy and any bad inking. The sketches are very tiny (we’re talking just a few centimetres) and the paper was bobbling under a few of the smaller sketches from being erased so many times (two-point perspective is hard :( ). 

There were sooo many little set details I noticed while obsessing over this. I even made a follow-up post about them.

Anyone else think the screen doors look like guqin strings?  I plan(ned) to do the tea pavilion and bridge at some point because they’re right there but never in focus and I need to recreate them!!! but… so… tired…

The complete image:

Happy new year everyone, I’m going to sleep for a week. 

UPDATE: This sketch now has a digital version! Below is a preview. The full project can be found here.

If you like what I do, please consider buying me a coffee on Ko-fi.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

What this probably means: yearning, relationships, love and dreams

A reminder that Kookaburras are a thing that exists.

[suddenlycomics]

So you’re telling me the stereotypical jungle animal noise sound effect was a Kookaburra all this time!?

[missaristocrat]

Also many times the sound effect for dolphin noises is a Kookaburra sped up!

It gets better—the guy is deaf, and he taught his cat the sign for “food.” So the cat’s not just saying “put that in my mouth,” it’s actually signing

[lutefiskcrowsandbeef]

Not only that, but if you notice at the beginning, the cat *gets the man’s attention* as any person who wanted to talk to a deaf/hoh individual would (well, and vice versa IME). I’ve done sign since I was 5, and generally, w/o eye contact initially, you wave a hand or lightly touch the arm (if that’s ok with the person you’re trying to converse with, of course).  Generally, adult cats meow mostly to humans, but this cat has figured out that’s not going to work and has adapted. Animal companions! They are INCREDIBLE.

AND THE WAY IT NODS OMG

[makeste]

some rambling about legacies, and opening up, and All Might has two sons more at 11

can I offer you an essay about All Might and his children in these trying times.

so back before he got swept up in the great tides of character development, Bakugou used to think that in order for him to succeed at becoming the best hero, it meant that Deku could not succeed. he thought it was a zero sum game; he could only be strong if Deku stayed weak. if Deku grew strong, then that would mean he was the weak one. there wasn’t room for the two of them to reach the top together. it could only be one or the other.

this is of course patently false, and we’ve since seen it disproven beyond a shadow of a doubt, and Katsuki has learned that it’s okay for them to work together. not just okay, but correct; the only way, the best way. it doesn’t make him weak; working with Deku improves them both and helps them both to succeed.

so given that, I think it stands to reason that if this holds true for success and power levels, it should also hold true for their character development, and their personal relationships – such as their relationship with All Might.

what we could have been

this is a post about the similarities between these old farts

and these lil bubbas

but more importantly, it’s a post about the differences.

so! the manga has recently entered the Internships 2 arc, also known as the Child Soldiers/Todoroki Drama 2.5 arc! so far it is very exciting, and I can’t wait to see how Deku and co. will somehow level up by a factor of 11 just in time to defeat Tomura and his new new upgrade. I assume that this will happen though, since the alternative is… [checks] everyone dies a horrible death. well shit.

anyway, we’ve already had like 12 arcs of All Might being a mentor, but this arc features the first time Endeavor has tried his hand at it! this is of course a universally beloved decision by Horikoshi which everyone in the fandom is very happy about! but I actually do like it, because the Endeavor redemption arc is complicated as fuck and endlessly fascinating to me, and because, truth be told, there is something that even a Certified Son Of A Bitch can still teach these young whippersnappers. even if Endeavor is 99.9% a dick, that 0.01% can still impart something of value. but anyways that’s not what I came here to talk about so let’s move on.

what I want to discuss is the fact that Izuku and Katsuki share very obvious similarities with All Might and Endeavor, and there are very obvious parallels between their respective arcs. Izuku is basically All Might 2.0, whereas Endeavor is presented as a version of what Katsuki could have been. but they are not the same people, either of them, and their paths have started to diverge in ways that are very much for the better. and the reasons for that can all be traced to one simple action, which in turn stemmed from one simple, honest impulse. and I have approximately 10,000 thoughts about it, so here goes.

Do you love Buzzfeed Unsolved?

Ryan Bergara, Shane Madej, and Steven Lim have officially launched their new, independant channel, Watcher. There’s two videos available as of now (1/10).

Just like with The Try Guys, this is a huge opportunity for some very funny, talented dudes to break away from their restrictive production company and form their own, which will give them greater creative control, more freedom, and hopefully, higher paychecks.

That will only happen if we support them, however. Unfortunately, I just don’t think enough people have heard the news.

Spread the word, watch the videos, and make sure to subscribe!

little spoon!Leg for @loveandslander

I love the concept of elf-sleep and true-sleep. What if elves just fuckin………conk out for 18 hours and wake up forgetting what year it is when they true-sleep

hot take all elves ugly-sleep

[what-your-elf-eyes-see]

Because we know that Legolas went days without sleep feelin’ spry as ever, I see this and I raise you 48 hours when they true-sleep

[deheerkonijn]

@what-your-elf-eyes-see Not only am I into this, I’m obsessed with this. What if the reason why elves don’t really like to true-sleep is because they’re basically comatose and it makes them super vulnerable?

It takes him a minute to get started back up again, he’ll get there.

Can we support him please?!
