reminder to stay cozy!!!

Now that you say it a warm cup of chocolate or tea does sound nice.... and safe to say I am not leaving my blanket (the cold will eat away my bones)

kill 'character did nothing wrong'. nurture 'character did everything wrong and i was whooping and cheering the whole time'

Redraw of one of my favorite manga panels!

Note: Tumblr was acting weird, so I had to delete my old account and create a new blog under the same name. I'll be reposting a couple of my old artworks here (including this piece)!

like okay im just going to be real right now. do some of you not understand that children grow into adults? like seriously. because the way some of yall talk about them makes me feel like you think of children as an entirely different species and not people who in 10 years will be expected to function and understand society. were you cloned? do you come from a tube? did you jump out of the artificial womb as a fully formed 25 year old

We've had a family/murder of crows visiting our garden for years now, and this season the chicks are soooo helpless! They just stand around expectantly with their mouths open as the mom crow eats. Which is what inspired this comic! :)

It bother me so much that people misunderstand sayaka miki's descent into madness in madoka magica. She doesnt become a witch "just because of a boy." Sayaka is a character who ties all her self worth into being in service of others. We can see this right from the start with her idolization of mami and everything that she was. She saw mami as this "perfect hero" even though mami i would say is mentally the weakest of the holy quintet. In the timelines where mami finds out about the incubator's true goals she always immediately breaks and goes crazy, trying to kill the other girls in her own twisted way of trying to "save them". Instead of seeing the fragile person that mami was, sayaka instead sort of treats her as a martyr, a goal to achieve. We continue on to sayaka's magical girl wish. Instead of wishing for something for herself, she instead sells her soul for the sake of kyousuke. Then when he starts dating hitomi she spirals not because she's sad about the rejection but because she feels replaced in his life, that he doesn't need or want her around anymore. Then she throws herself into her magical girl work not seeing that she's harming herself because she justifies it with "well im saving people that means what im doing is a good thing." She doesn't see that she's becoming more sloppy, more ruthless until its too late. It's only in the end when she turns into a witch that her story gets resolved.

Sayaka Miki is an incredibly sad character to me. While her actions have the illusion of being selfless and "for the greater good" she is actually incredibly selfishly motivated. Everything she does is in service of wanting praise and admiration from the people she cares about. If she helps kyousuke he'll appreciate her and love her, if she becomes a hero she'll receive praise and admiration for being a good person. This is why it is important that of all people it was kyoko that fought sayaka in the end. To homura, sayaka is someone to be saved. To mami, sayaka is her sweet apprentice/younger sister figure. To madoka, sayaka is her energetic and happy go lucky friend. Kyoko is the only one who from the start called sayaka out on her bullshit, seeing straight through her. And at the end, kyoko is the one who truly accepts sayaka. Sayaka as the witch Oktavia von Seckendorff is stated multiple times in official material to be "looking for love." In the end it it kyoko who gives her that love. Even when sayaka has lost her humanity it is kyoko who accepts her for the entirety of who sayaka is with all of her selfishness and desires. She is the one who sees what sayaka has become and stays together with her till both of their ends. Kyoko choosing to die with sayaka is her saying "I'm here for you, i know all of you, and I will love you regardless."

my poison ivy hot take is i actually think she would be some kind of weird carnivore rather than a vegetarian because she only really has empathy for plants and sees most people as meat sacks i think she would eat people is what i'm saying. what i'm saying is they should let her do sexy lesbian cannibalism

Gävlebocken

I'm seeing Gävle goat popping up more on my TL. Feelings are mixed. For your consideration: - People have been trying to burn this thing down since 1966, when it was first erected. It was first burnt down on NYE 1966. - Burning the goat is illegal and carries a fine and/or prison sentence. - That punishment is somehow part of the appeal. - 38 out of 57 Goats have been vandalized. - Both sides keep trying. Neither side has let up. That's the joke now. Also: Gävle has a website, with a countdown for when the goat gets put up! There'll be a webcam and everything! -> https://www.visitgavle.se/en/gavle-goat

Also Also: The official twitter account literally leans into the joke. It's bio reads:

"Jag är världens mest kända halmbock, gillar jul och har svårt för tändstickor. I’m THE straw goat of the world, I fancy Christmas and I don't play with matches."

I'm team burnination. I'm also team "if they legalize it, the fun of it actually ends". Is arson bad? Yeah. Is it bad to want the goat to burn? Nah. I think this is a very human thing to want.
