Much better, if only a start.

Feels like the shade could be better.

Will attempt to find another and add it without ruining the whole thing.

The wallpaper is NOT cooperating. I might've messed up while picking it out.

A darker shade looks better, and so does a thicker outline.

I'm considering options for his little vest.

Isn't he just adorable...

Every time there's a new tumblr meme there's always people like "this isn't funny anymore, it's gotten boring/cringe" We are on tumblr, we drag dead jokes around so that their blood decorates the place like a children's hospital

Ah, a fellow colour theory enthusiast...

curious about what people expect from artists that they follow- I've heard a variety of advice from folks and I'm wondering what the expectations of people on tumblr are

theres also a poll about OLD art~

What a great time to reblog this

[the-ultimate-puppeteer]

Instant reblog

[spyglassrealms]

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

[theinkwitchcameback]

Imagine how many bullet holes would be on those empty untitled bot pages...

[confirmedcannibal]

What do you say you have a look at this? Tell me what you see.

A light in the darkness.

A bearded man.

A mushroom cloud.

A head on a pillow.

Part 1: Cruel

–

I always think about how in Shikamaru Shinden, Temari says Shikamaru is a wonderful man and the kindest man she knows. It makes me think that his kindness is what initially caught her interest. 

Part 2

[ironic-points-of-light-deactiva]

On a lighter note.

The main reason I ever wanted to write a Hungarian mythology-based urban fantasy is that I needed to see someone do Bread Magic in a mundane modern setting.

Bread Magic shows up in a variety in Hungarian fairytales. It works like this: when someone evil, usually the devil, sometimes a dragon, wants to come into your house and hurt you, usually by taking your children, what you do is put a loaf of bread on the windowsill. It will speak for you.

When evil demands admission, the bread will say: First, they buried me under the ground, and I survived. When I sprouted, they cruelly cut me down with sickles, and I survived. They threshed me with their flails and I survived. They ground me to flour with their millstones and I survived. They put me in a bowl and kneaded me, then they put me in a hot oven to bake me, and I survived. Have you done all these things? Until you do all these things and survive, you have no power here.

This is pretty powerful magic I think, and it makes sense in a country where wheat is the staple crop and bread is the staple food. If you have bread, you are alive, if you have no bread, you are dead, therefore bread is life. It was customary to refer to wheat as “life” well into the twentieth century, and not in high literary circles either: rural seasonal workers negotiated their wages in so and so many sacks of life.

And I totally want someone to do bread magic with a shitty store-bought muffin.

“They filled me full of toxic preservatives, and yet I can still nourish. They left me under harsh florescent lighting, and yet I can still bring comfort. The one who baked me will never see the one who eats mez and yet I can still convey some sense of love, of care.

Until you can have your nature so twisted, yet remember and hold to it still, you have no power here.”

[kyraneko]

Oooh. Damn, that’s Big Magic that could unFall an angel by sheer force of logic.
