I’m almost done with my barbie inspired dress! Need to attach the straps, iron out the belt and do the last adjustments but I’ve got a good feeling about it

Spotted this on the cursed former bird app. Good message.

still incredibly weird to me to see that but hey, at least it’s positive

for the doodle prompt “buck taking a nap” from @eddiediazes 🥰
[Image ID: fanart from the TV series 9-1-1, showing Evan "Buck" Buckley sleeping on a couch, in uniform. The drawing, in color and somewhere between reality and cartoon, shows his face and about half of his torso. He's lying on his front, conked out, his head resting on a pillow and slightly drooling. One of his arms is above his head, the other flops on the ground. End image ID]
Immediately reminded me of this “fanart of a fanart” I reblogged years ago...
[Image ID: two different post with fanart of the TV series Black Sails. The first is by @char7; it's a detailed black and white drawing showing Flint fast asleep on a couch, half under a blanket, with a cat cuddled next to him, also asleep, in absolute bliss.
@luminarai reblogged this fanart and commented "I cannot stop thinking about this post by char7 about flint pretending not to be an adoring cat father and failing miserably [new paragraph] also meanwhile:"
Second fanart by luminarai this time: it's a simplified reproduction of above drawing accompanied by a drawing of Thomas Hamilton looking at Flint and Cat with enormous eyes, his arms crossed to the point of making a knot, submerged by emotion. End image ID]
And of course...
[Image ID: photomanipulation of above fanart of a fanart. This time the person looking at sleeping Buck (implied) is Eddie, his face in the best "constipated by emotions" expression the artist (me) was able to find. The image has also been manipulated to a cartoon version of the character's uniform. End image ID]
hi! actually I drew both of these pictures. for future reference, i always suggest double checking with the original artist before reposting their art on a post - i don’t particularly mind personally as long as there’s a clear credit and link to the original artist but I’ve seen a lot of other artists discussing it as of late, as there seems to be an uptick in reposting or screenshotting art on tumblr for whatever reason. I swear this isn’t a scolding or anything, i am genuinely happy that you liked and remembered these old drawings of mine, just a heads up ☺️
This got me teary-eyed. This encapsulates all that is best about humanity:
This is what it's all about man, you dig?
was talking about the concept of ~girl dinner~ with a friend and giving examples of our own (mine being microwave oatmeal with cold pb or just straight up handfuls of crunchy granola) and she told me, ‘oh yeah, sometimes I take whatever veggies I have in the freezer and just chuck it in a pan with some spices and eat it with rice or noodles’ and I was like, girl that’s just dinner

everyone on twitter saying this is confusing. "oh hes just saying words hes making so sense" hes making perfect sense you just dont get it. once you open that can of cinnamon rolls, there is no going back. the cinnamon rolls have been released and they will NOT be stuffed back into the cannister. you are locked onto this path, you will be making cinnamon rolls whether you were prepared or not. if you cant understand this you cannot claim to have kennergy.
And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.
I wrap this blessing around you like a shroud, so that no ill can find you, and every warmth is held close
