Dropping more Rue sketches here cause she's the only thing helping me fight the literal DEMONS that are depression, artblock, and burn art👍

Escapism from Steven Universe is very Rue coded especially during s2 love HER.

Lore dump incoming:

She's a 17 y/o runaway orphan looking for answers abt her parents and the strange dreams she's been having since she was 5.

She stumbles upon an injured and passed out Arthur Lester and takes him to a hospital near by in a small town they were passing through and has been visiting him during his coma(she claims it's to make sure he isn't a serial killer).

From there she ends up tagging along.

Turns out her parents were part of a cult that worshipped the King in Yellow and Rue was gifted with "special dreams" which allow her to see the supernatural as well as the Dreamlands and in rare cases, the future/past.

Ngl the idea for her was just "What if Arthur was forced to confront his parental guilt in a deeper lively by giving him a child/teen companion with him?" And the outcome was...well....

It's complicated(and don't get me started on them in s4 yeeesh)...

Tldr; theyre Ellie and Joel coded 👍

Not expecting much interaction with this one this is purely self indulgent. I'm cringe but free!

I know I said I wouldn't but this is the last one I had on my list so the Gift Parade is going on a break for a while! This time I made a lil something for @oddcabinboy , another one of my besties that's always supporting me no matter what I might need, don't know where I'd be without you bud 💕 Max, Newt's OC and protagonist of this drawing, is a Sandman OC (and a work in progress, hope I didn't ruin the surprise too much) since Max's a WIP, decided to try something slightly different for the color here! Hope you like it, dude, ily 💕

ASK AND YE SHALL RECIEVE

(Warning: absolutely no structure to this, this is a rant, this is “POV: you asked me what I thought of Sarah Hawkins while on my lunch break and I spent the entire lunch break rambling at you)

So, Sarah Hawkins. Let’s establish a few things about this woman that are very obvious: she is an exceedingly patient mother; she runs that inn almost entirely alone; Leland’s leaving hurt her just as much as Jim; she loves her son to the moon and back. Now let’s establish a few things that, while not explicitly stated, are kind of assumed: she built that inn herself out of her own home; she doesn’t resent Jim despite his selfish behavior; she fears for his safety, and that he’ll leave her the way Leland did.

According to the art book, Leland and Sarah settled there because the mining on Montressor was supposed to be pOPPIN’. That was Leland’s plan, to make money on Montressor. Plan SUCKED. But Sarah stuck with Leland for eight years, probably listening to his promises that he’d make it big and get them off this rock, and that he’d be home to stay one day. And then one day, he was gone, and he left her with their little Jimbo and that house. She was probably heartbroken, not just for Jim. Just watching her face in the flashbacks and the way she cried when he finally left, she loved that man (trash though he be). But what did she do?

She looked at her little boy, rolled up her sleeves, and turned her house into a way to support her little family. She planted a garden in the back, turned the other rooms into guest rooms; her own little kitchen into a place to make meals for guests, and hauled tables into the main space. She she did all of this presumably alone, maybe with Jim’s limited help (he was freakin 8) and maybe Doppler’s help, though I think they became friends a little later judging by the way he interacts and talks about Jim. From what we see, Sarah works all day and probably well into the night, still finding time to look after Jim and watch over her. And she did this for SEVEN YEARS. The entire time, watching her son slip away and become secluded and sullen and lose his spark. She probably tried to encourage him and prod him in the right direction, but every one of her efforts seemed to fail. STILL, she woke up every day and ran that inn and looked out for her kid. Never a word of complaint. The closest we get to hearing her “complain” is telling Jim that it’d be super great if he didn’t get himself arrested and add to her list of things to do. When she vents to Doppler, she says: “I’m at the end of my rope.” She doesn’t mean she’s fed up with running the inn. She means she’s run out of ideas for reaching Jim. She doesn’t care how much work she has to do, as long as it keeps Jim cared for and on the right path, but it doesn’t feel like she’s done enough or any of the right things.

Then the inn was burned down. Seemingly a freak raid, potentially brought in by Jim after he dragged some unsavory character inside. That was her ENTIRE life, built so carefully out of the rubble and tended for years, and it was burned to the ground in seconds. If any of that was gonna keep Jim steady, it’s gone now. The look of DEFEAT on her face after she looked back at it makes me wanna die every time. When Doppler puts that blanket around her shoulders and she just sits, not hearing anything he’s saying, refusing to look at Jim. WHAT’S SHE THINKING IN THAT SCENE?!? Is she angry with Jim? Just a little? Angry that he couldn’t just for once leave well enough alone?? Or does she think she FAILED??!!?! Like her last effort had been snuffed out and she’d failed Jim?! I hope not. But who knows.

AND WHEN SHE LET’S HIM GO ON THE JOURNEY?! You can tell that even after Jim promises that he’ll come back and make her proud, she isn’t truly convinced. You can tell she wants to be! She wants to believe that. That’s probably what Leland said to her. Jim’s probably made similar empty promises to turn it around in the past as well. She wants to believe this time it’ll be different, but she always believes that, and it never is. But she smiles at him and lets him go anyway, because maybe it will be. She loves him, and she knows she has nothing left to give him. Whatever it is that will help him, she doesn’t have it.

So then, Sarah is alone. Doppler is a bachelor. There’s no one else there for her to talk to. There’s no more inn, which was her life for seven years. No Jim, who was basically all she had for even longer. Now she’s just stuck in this observatory with nothing to do but wait. Maybe she even watched the stars through that massive telescope, wondering where Jim was, and if he’d come back. I’m not sure how long the journey was, but I’m assuming a few months (much shorter cuz of their instant zoom back). I wonder if she was surprised when she got notice of their return, and not just because of how fast it was. When we see her at the spaceport and she sees Jim, she genuinely looks surprised, even before he hugs her! How big had the part of her that feared he’d never come back become?! Either that he’d die out there or take for the distant stars like her scumbag husband.

BUT HE CAME BACK! For the first time in ages it’s her HOPES that are confirmed instead of her fears! And then when he hugs her—how many years had it been since he’d done that? You can see on her face that for the first time in forever, she knows everything will be okay. The weight come off her shoulders. The years of work are made worth it. She looks at him and he’s so different. Taller, a new shine in his eyes, a smile she hasn’t seen in years, but older. She sees that her boy is back and now he’s a young man who KEEPS his promises. Maybe whatever he needed was out there and not with her, but everything she did was exactly what she needed to do, even letting him go, and we see she knows it and it brings youth to her face. She had never failed—she’d done everything he needed.

AND THEN, SHE STILL RUNS HER INN! As a passion now! With that new inn Jim has built for her, she has a new life! She runs it with help, to keep giving that place to the community around her, safe and secure in the knowledge that she did good and will keep doing good.

Basically, Sarah Hawkins is a powerhouse. She is faithful, strong, persevering, clever, loving, and selfless. Never demanding anything for herself, only for her son, and receiving everything she could ever need in turn. She held on for the boy that needed her most, even when she feared she would be left behind for her troubles. She’s a wonderful person, and I wanna be like her.

The real treasure in Treasure Planet was Sarah Freakin Hawkins.

Felix Luca Goethe, he/they, a child of Hephaestus who gets so lost in their own thoughts while working that he does not notice that he isn't wearing gloves- ouch. tshirt design by the phenomenal @riverstyxprince

I love massive fucking gloves on characters s o much

I've been making Camp Half Blood shirts based off the various cabins and their unique traits, so here's the first batch! These will be available as prints in my shop soon (and hopefully stickers someday!)

Which one is your favorite? Which cabin would you like to see next?

what's an Alfred-coded guy got to do to be turned into a vampire round here?? I'll even wear a pink frilly coat if it pleases the masses.

reblog if vampires are valid and your blog is a vampire safe zone

Posting these here to fill in the void(a lame excuse to just post my oc actually sssshhh)

I'm a sucker for sacrifical lamb coded characters with adopted father figures and so I had to sprinkle that into my new hyperfixation.

Fun fact: by just using imaginary numbers, some Evil Math, and 101 rotating vectors You Can Create a shitty approximation of a fish.

i like to think that my permanent eye bags and general worn-down look give me a certain cuteness
