Hey guys I know I dropped off the face of the earth for a bit, but I’ve got a really cool piece I should be able to post later today, so yeah!

This is how I am greeted back to my dorm. P!ATD and Duck Anti leading a disco army of rubber ducks. @wingedcatwithapaintbrush and @stringbeananonymous you two are the worst, and I love you.

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

Just for clarification, I love my suite-mates equally. Molly (@stringbeananonymous) also came back to this, it’s just that she came back earlier so she was a party to Caroline’s ambush.

This. This is my proudest accomplishment. Should avenging angels murder me in my sleep tonight, I shall die fulfilled, knowing that I have reached the highest pinnacle. This is true art.

Swords and Ceramics

So fun fact, I really love college. It might kill me before it’s over, but you can get away with some antics that high school would never allow. For instance, my Writing for Publications teacher told us to bring an object prompt to kick-start some creative writing- I waltzed into class with a sword. Like an actual sword, it’s sharp. Well, on one side anyway.

Then later, I was running late to another class so I didn’t have time to drop the sword at the dorm. I walked into Ceramics 20 min late with a cup of coffee and a medieval weapon. The professor refrained from commentary on my tardiness. My bisque fire plate looked like crap and I threatened to smash it with a sword. 

So anyway, sometimes life is pretty okay.

Thestral. Bony boi. Also, not a dragon. I started with the wings but then his head was wrong and I don’t know, dragon fail. Will try again next time…

Medium: Pen and ink.

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

It’s about 1 am but in all technicality it is, in fact, February 16, a momentous date indeed...... love you friend Happy Birthday Little Writer!!!! @reverseblackholeofwords

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

So it’s not a dragon... Sorry it took me so long, my little dude just refused to be a dragon. Next time I’ll start with the wings, maybe. 

I do have a question for you, though. If it were a three headed lizard and each head had a horn, would it be a unihydra or a trilizard? I like trilizard, because then you could have the trilizard tournaments.

Titled: Unilizard. Medium: graphite.

*whispering: you guys are safe now...the circle drained their strength and the buttons, along with whatever demons haunt them, have been contained. Just don’t mention them- they might hear you. And the buttons don’t like it when you ask questions...

*loudly: Hey everyone I am back!!! I’m all moved in at the new place and ready to start making new art! I’m thinking I need to make a dragon. I mean, am I really even a respectable blog if I don’t have dragons? I think the answer to that is no, so be on the lookout for fiery winged friends!!!!!!!

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

this is aRt. this is art. don’t qUestioN it. the buttons don’t like questions, pal.

@reverseblackholeofwords @stringbeananonymous it’s too late foR yoU. the rest of you should be careful- the circle may protect you, but you should leave a light oN, just in case. theRe’s no telling what’s waiting for yoU, there, iN the dark.

[monsterinatophat]

I have banished thee @wingedcatwithapaintbrush Mwahahahaha!!!!!

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

I don’t know when this was posted, I haven’t been on for a while, BUT THIS IS THE BEST THING!!!!!! Thank you @monsterinatophat you are brilliant and this is amazing!

[reverseblackholeofwords]

WHAT THE HECK CAROLINE. I LOG ON HERE FOR TEN SECONDS THINKING I'LL TAKE A BREAK AND I FIND YOU BULLYING MY CRANE SON. THE ONE CHARACTER I LIKE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. I WILL BURN YOUR PILLOWS. I WILL HIDE ALL YOUR SOCKS. NO TEA FOR YOU.

I will lock the door, and you will not do those things and I don’t even like your dirty leaf water so there :P

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

Darling you make me laugh. I have been picking locks since I was seven. You will not escape my wrath. I shall descend with all the fury of the Nine Circles of Hell, brandishing sharpened paintbrushes as knives. You will long for the days when all I did was pester you with leaf water. Restore my child, demon.

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

You’re art is so frigin amazing, oh my goodness to skull flowers and daisies! I love itttttt! (My opinion doesn’t really matter, I just thought I may share it in hopes it brightened your day a bit.) -🥀

All opinions matter. You matter. Life matters. You have succeeded in your objective, kind and anonymous fairy of flowers and bones. My day is indeed brightened. :)

[stringbeananonymous]

I don't know who this @wingedcatwithapaintbrush is, but I would NEVER banish you! Or @reverseblackholeofwords!

She is one of the other two people we live with and we love her. She likes mocking us openly and making us tea when we’re sad or sick.

To be fair, Reverse and I are very rarely vocally nice to one another and usually making jabs, but we are in fact best friends who rely on one another for a lot.

Wingedcat is also one of these friends we rely on heavily but don’t generally say out loud how much we appreciate her. She’s very dark and brooding for someone obsessed with tea and knitting. If you like great art, you should follow her! She’s very talented.

[reverseblackholeofwords]

Yeah, no real harsh feelings here! Just our silly, chaotic antics! @wingedcatwithapaintbrush, Velma, is like my Oliver! But also the Host… She’s an odd friendo, but good, very good. She gives me friendship leaves and makes lots of paper cranes that we hang around the suite to make us happy. All in all an A+ human bean.

And @stringbeananonymous, Molly, is (while indeed very angry and very short) also a good friend who puts up with me and all my introverted strangeness which includes: not talking for five hours straight, sleeping during random parts of the day, and hissing at the thought of going to a basketball game. And I would be very lonely without her because she understands me better than anyone else (but don’t let her know I said that).

I’m very fortunate to have them both as friends.

[yourdistinguishedglittermom]

I love all three of these people! @wingedcatwithapaintbrush is one of my very best friends, and I don’t know what I’d do without her! @stringbeananonymous makes me laugh so hard, and her writing is soooooooo good! @reverseblackholeofwords is an absolute dear, and I enjoy listening to her talk about her passions (which mostly consists of @markiplier and talking in Spanish)!

I agree with this anon. NO banishing!!!

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

I love you too @yourdistinguishedglitterstudent and you are a master of puns and friendship, and you make me feel worthwhile. @reverseblackholeofwords keep flying my friend there is no sun that can melt the wings you were given, for they are something special and altogether unique. @stringbeananonymous you may be short but your heart belongs to a giant. 

Also it’s too late for no banishing. I banish us all to the void. There are cats there, I’ll make tea, it’ll be great.

[monsterinatophat]

Oh my gosh you all are precious.

[wingedcatwithapaintbrush]

I see you there @monsterinatophat you’re banished too what kinda tea you want?

A bit of a nostalgia post. This is the gnome house as it looked when my family and I first built it. I was nine or ten, and still living in my childhood home. Since then, this house has made two moves with us... but we’re in the process of moving again, and this time the little house won’t make it. It’s had some hard knocks over the years. The funny thing is, we are moving back to where it was built, the place I grew up.The great oak tree will welcome me back, the back steps and the crumbling terrace are still there, but the gnome house will never grace its trunk again. Life is change. Nothing stays the same.

I won’t be posting for a while, I need to focus on stuff at home and make sure I keep up with school. But next time I hope I can share a photo of what this little garden looks like in the spring. I’m thinking of planting flowers and erecting a sculpture. Something colorful, that catches the light. Because nothing stays the same, but that doesn’t have to be sad. There is always something to build on, and something to grow.

New sketchbook! Doggo! Not just a good boy, a great boy.
