My buffer ran out, so I wanted to let everyone know there probably won’t be any updates this week. (I had to go to the emergency room Friday night for an allergy/asthma attack and I’m still pretty drained.)
I promise I’m not dead (sorry to disappoint you). I am merely unwell and exhausted physically and mentally. Between work, my sore ankle, sleep deprivation, mental fatigue, food poisoning and head trauma, I’m spent. Drawing prompts and shitposting will resume in a few days. Thank you for understanding.
listen: fight club and pulp fiction are good movies, i love them both personally, but if a guy (and you KNOW the type of guy i mean) says they are his Favorite Movies then u need to run. RUN. plan ur exist exit strategy now. if ur texting him then just make something up. “haha i gotta go now. it was nice talking to you. bye!” if you’re somewhere with him just leave. do parkour if you have to. run like the wind. get away from that man
Just a reminder than even if Twitter is a mess and utterly unsuited for posting art, it’s at least more active than tumblr, and that’s where I’m more likely to interact with people now, so you should follow me there ! : https://twitter.com/thenothingmaker
I cannot emphasise enough how much I’m not interested in Tumblr anymore, so please, if you really want to keep seeing what I do, strongly consider following me on twitter, because I don’t know when I’ll just stop posting here !
Someone stole my plant yesterday, my baby. There were baby leaves growing in nicely, lots of grown leaves the length of my forearm which isn’t that big but it’s pretty nice for a plant. I may take a few extra days to post this this time around so I can do some selfcare and mourn my missing plant. Sorry.
In the spirit of dicking down disabled trans folk, my housing benefit has been suspended this month because my self-employment form didn’t get delivered in time. I have enough money to cover rent for this month but it’s gonna leave me with approx. £50 to my name to cover my food, electricity, travel and whatever surplus rent I’ll have to make up for what housing benefit doesn’t cover until I can get on disability (the timeframe for which is anyone’s guess, really). Basically I’m in hot water.
You can help me to not starve/be able to cover surplus rent & bills/etc. by commissioning me to draw you something! Here are my general prices in GBP:
I also do icons for a £10 flat rate and lineless paintings for a £10 hourly rate, and I usually give lower quotes for things I enjoy drawing like dragons and Pokémon.
Want to help but can’t afford a commission? Boy howdy do I have some options for you. If you donate via Ko-Fi orPaypal I will doodle something for you and give you my unfettered gratitude! If you want I’ll even send you a picture of me flipping off Blackpool’s city council which I’m sure is everyone’s dream deep down inside. You could also reblog this and heighten the chance of other people seeing it!
If you’re interested in a commission or have donated money, shoot me a DM at @dragon-ascent or my main, @strider-mutual. Thanks!
I know some of you followed me because of the winter olympics drawings, and the hockey ones. So here’s another one, but with a goal this time : EA games organizes a contest this year again to decide which player is going to grace the cover of this year’s NHL. There’s 8 players involved, and two of them are super-duper cool, starting with PK Subban, who is 1)A fantastic player 2)The nicest, chillest, best guy out there 3)A Montréal Canadiens player, aka one of my favorite teams 4)Hot (let’s face it). I could go on but basically, it all comes down to this : vote for him! Yay!
You can votehere or just tweet something with the hashtag #NHL15Subban
For once I don’t care if you take this off my blog, tweet it, repost it, do whatever you want as long as it’s not derogatory towards the player or myself. (It’d be cool if you decided to reblog is though)
One of the scenes that I again felt was incredibly lovely in Episode 9 is the one between Stede and Ed sitting on the beach. It’s very quiet and intimate, and the kiss happens, which doesn’t come out of nowhere given the mood of the scene, but almost takes both characters a little by surprise. What did you want to capture most about that moment in playing it with Taika, and was there anything that you decided to bring to it apart from what David [Jenkins] had on the page?
DARBY: I wanted to make sure that the audience knew that Stede didn’t really know what love was and hadn’t really expected a kiss or anything like that. He was very naive to it all but was just on this rollercoaster because he enjoyed every minute of it, and he didn’t know where it was going to end. I think he expected, in some ways, for Blackbeard or Ed to take the lead — which he has, in most of the things we’ve done on board. He’s the experienced pirate, and Stede tried to give his own 10 cents by helping out with gentlemanly things and the use of cutlery and wearing fine fabrics and things like that. But there was certainly a lack of confidence in the area of… I think that’s probably the same for both of them, with love.
I really could come down to either of them probably taking that next step and just touching each other in that way. But it just so happened to be Ed, because Ed felt invigorated. He felt like he had finally let go of the persona of Blackbeard, the evil side of him. Once the beard came off and everything, he’s like some dashing guy from the Mills & Boon — you probably don’t know what those books are.
I do, the romance novels.
DARBY: The romance novels. Yeah. So he is sitting there, but he’s certainly more at ease, you can see that. Because Stede isn’t. Stede’s realizing that he has possibly screwed everything up and that they’re going to die, and I think he’s got a lot more going on in his head, and you can see that when they do the kiss. Then Ed walks away, [and] there’s just this really puzzled look on Stede’s face where he’s taking that in, but he’s taking so many other things in at the same time, which are: Is this the end? What do I do here? Have I done the right thing? Yeah. But I think I hopefully played that right.
