There are very few people I never met in person that have actually touched me and have had a direct influence in my life. Stan Lee was one of them. I grew up reading, drawing and making my own comics [ characters ] wanting to someday move to New York and work for Marvel comics. Although Mr. Lee was 95 yrs old it seemed that he would live forever. I know his impact on graphic novels and comic design and movies will. I was very sad to hear of his passing and I will always hold dear the memories of his stories and creations. I have the utmost respect for what he did for graphic artists like me. May his brilliant soul rest.
Today is the finale of Steven Universe and while I’m sad to see the show ending I want to thank it, Rebecca Sugar and the crewniverse for all the wonderful memories.
I remember watching the series when a friend introduced it to me when I was still in college, but it wasn’t until 2016 that I really started getting into the fandom thanks to Lapidot haha.
I can’t ever fully express what this show has done for me. Among many things it got me back into art when I had stopped it for a few years before that, I thought I had given it up for good, it was a painful decision. Then this show came at me again out of nowhere and ignited a spark that I honestly thought had died.
Steven Universe got me through some tough and arguably the hardest time in my life, it gave me a lot of hope and made me believe things could get better no matter how bad life could sometimes get, it was also thanks to this that I met some really amazing people and even met the love of my life.
This show may be ending but I wont stop creating fan art of it and lapidot, I love it way too much for that, so just because I’m drawing art of new fandoms don’t worry su is always something I will create art for until such a time for whatever reason I can no longer do so.
Often times in life we take measures in order to make a positive difference. Nobody understands this better than the thousands of people who follow me on tumblr. Be it through a movement, by lending a hand to someone in need, or by simply expressing our thoughts and views online. As bloggers, many of us feel that our movements, our push for change, and the way we go about doing things will have a huge impact. Maybe so, perhaps every step along the way makes a difference, but what is the ultimate goal? Are we so naive to think we can change this world? A world filled with conflicting ideologies fighting for supremacy! In the face of all this, of course we can make positive differences! But to concern ourselves with it, well, it is simply not something that I can continue to do in the years to come. I joined Tumblr several years ago with so much on my mind, impacted by all the unnecessary hatred, violence and anger around the world. Tumblr was a place for me to let out my thoughts. I saw a world that was a mess, and I needed an outlet to share my views, express my opinion, and to have intellectual discussions. Many years later, after so much hate mail, and much more love, having met so many people on tumblr, several of them in person, right here in Toronto, or during my travels around the world, I am departing from blogging, feeling more educated, more aware, happier, a more confirmed atheist, and in a very tranquil way, indifferent and unconcerned about what goes on around the world, what anyone thinks, or how much hate anyone has for me or for anyone else.
In my eyes, we are all equal, we are no higher or lower than each other. Those views have not changed, and I stand by what I have said many times, that in every war, every debate on ideology, and in every political conflict, there is more than one narrative. No matter how right or wrong, regardless of who you are, depending on your life circumstances and experiences, you may very well be staunchly sticking to another narrative that you currently vehemently fight against. But this is tumblr, it is a place where people lose their minds and think they are fighting a good cause by attacking people they know nothing about. Those who are defending a religion I strongly despise and send me the most embarassing cliched so called ‘arguments’ have made me become a happier and more confirmed atheist. Those who sheepishly have been brainwashed to fight for their “independence”. They have fallen for the pathetic narratives that romantacize wars by showing you a few pictures of women holding weapons as if there are no female soldiers on the other side, or they’ll show you children holding up signs that favour the narrative you’ve been told to support. In reality it is nothing but a trick to destroy them and their nations by encouraging them to “fight” and to rip countries apart. This whole notion of fighting for one’s independence because they happen to be of a different race, ethnic group, or religion is nothing but a farce that benefits war profiteers. It is one of the many narratives created to further destroy different countries. The brainwashed fools who buy into the crap have made me become indifferent towards political conflicts. They, without realizing how much propaganda has been pumped into their brains, have made me realize, there is nothing we can do to unite the people of a single nation or country, let alone the people of different nations and countries. They have actually influenced me in a positive way, to not give a fuck, and to follow politics as a form of entertainment in a tranquil and relaxed way.
Next year, I will be entering a very important stage in my life and every step towards that memorable evening means something. Today, as I depart tumblr, happily indifferent towards other people’s opinions, I am much more relaxed, more calm, as each day passes and I give less and less fucks about matters that don’t impact my life, though I stand by what I believe and hence the reason I don’t intend on deleting the numerous posts that I have made throughout the years. Above all else, after all these years, as I depart from tumblr, I can happily say that I will have taken away many valuable lessons and been influenced very positively by all this. To know that I was also able to have a positive impact on others, meet so many amazing people, and influence others to think freely for themselves, means so much to me. Thank you everyone. May you all have a similar peaceful, serene, and educational experience! Stay in touch!
I’m sorry for disappearing (again) without a word. The beginning of the year was where I was really busy making reports, I had to adapt to new activities at my workplace too.
Besides that, I’m also busy preparing for my wedding which will be held in March
And so after thinking for a long time, I decided to stop operating this blog. I want to focus on my new life. I’m sorry…
I’m really thankful that you guys are still here even though I’m not online at all ❤️
Thank you for all the memories you guys gave me while I was in this fandom ♡♡♡
I won’t post arts here anymore but I will still watch our favorite anime ❤️
hi everyone. i know i haven’t posted in a very long time, but i just wanted to say thank you for making these past 5 years on tumblr an unforgettable experience. i got to meet lots of ppl who loved the same groups and artists as i did and become friends with very talented content creators. unfortunately, my life has been very busy with college and other personal things so i won’t be posting anymore. i’ll still have my blog up and i might come back, but for now, i will be just putting tumblr off to the side and taking a break from it. thank you for all the great memories and enjoying my works; i wish everyone the best and hopefully i will come back <3
after many days of consideration i have decided to leave this account.
i cannot say for sure whether this will be a permanent change or not. right now i am just not in the mindspace that i would think about writing at all. in a long time. that’s why i don’t want to claim this to be a hiatus, because i really don’t know if i will return to this blog ever again.
i want to thank you all, anyone who has ever even stumbled across this blog and made this experience truly amazing. in a span of less than a year i got a following of over 1.1k people, something i truly would have never expected. i met some amazing people here, both some that i’ve only talked a few sentences to and some that have become extremely close friends of mine. i love you all so dearly and i appreciate everything that you’ve given to me on this account.
i won’t be leaving tumblr completely. i’m way too addicted to this hellhole and i still want to see my friends creations and support them from the sidelines. however i am only a reblog account, and as i am trying to limit my overall screen intake i might not be online as much as i was on this account lol. i also want to still talk to some of my moots who i only have access to over tumblr so!! here’s where @minsunoo comes in :] feel free to come follow me there if you’re interested in seeing my favorite kpop boys mostly
i’m doing this in the middle of the night so unfortunately i am way too tired to give a proper goodbye speech. but i hope you all know that i truly treasured every moment on this account, all the good and the bad that came out of this. tagging some people that truly have made this more bearable to me, (people that would maybe want to know about this??) some i have talked to almost next to nothing (or nothing at all?) but seeing them on my tl/notifications have always made me smile so thank you:
I got the privilege of working with @dyalavellan on a tarot commission for Honoura! I actually struggled for a really long time picking a good card for her – so many of them felt situational, and tarot card readings FOR her had a mix of different cards every time. A friend suggested The Hanged Man, and at first I balked. But the more I thought about it, the more obvious it fit. And the more I stare at this the more I like it and feel so very glad I committed!
If you get the chance I really recommend Martina. She’s responsive, she’s organized, she explains her thought process for the sketch she presents you and asks what you think. Well worth it.
Thank you so much for commissioning me! I loved painting her! ❤️
sodam slightly changed the lyrics to her cover of jonghyun’s “happy birthday” (which can be watched above). the changes (which were translated by @iheartshinee_) were:
you are listening, aren’t you? the song with my voice, even though i want to give you everything it’s only this i can give. the song that you sang for another, now, for you.
happy birthday, happy birthday; i can only say “happy birthday”. happy birthday, happy birthday. i am going to remember your birthday anniversary and reminisce about it.
I’m angry and mad that this was the way that Pristin had to end but at the same time, I’m very thankful that Pledis brought our 10 beautiful girls together, and that they were able to bring us some happiness even if it was for a short time.
Please consider pledging on my Patreon so I can continue making comics like these! You can also buy me a coffee with KoFi if you’d rather make a one time contribution! I truly can’t do this work without you!
Being trans can be tough sometimes but it’s also a blessing. A sacred gift. A journey few can know. A joy!
Little drawing for one cute owl @cubur , because i can, and want, and I don’t care if it bothers someone. And yes, it doesn’t mean I don’t have my own ideas, or something about my life overall. It’s just for good mood
bell hooks taught me that love must be at the center of our politics and that revolution could not be possible without love. rest easy bell hooks, thank you for everything
Mob AU with a bit of a twist, secrets, pining, protectiveness! GO READ IT! :D
Summary: When Steve learns that his childhood friend Bucky is part of a gang, as main enforcer, he quits his career in the Special Forces, determined to get him out of this mess. He’s stunned when he finds out that Bucky works for Tony Stark, who it seems isn’t just a genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist running the most successful armament company in the country, but also controls New York City’s seedy underworld. But things are maybe not as they seem, and Bucky definitely doesn’t want to be saved. (Non-powered contemporary AU)
This was also a fill for @marveltrumpshate 2020. Thank you so much for suggestiong to make a bang out of it, Lou! <3
LOOK! LOOK AT THAT FANTASTIC ART! And not only it’s fabulous MassiveSpaceWren art, so beautiful in every way, but it’s art that fits the story I wrote so well. I adore your idea to illustrate two scenes set in the same warehouse, but using the lighting and colours to show the evolution in Bucky and Tony’s relationship.
I love it so much Wren: the gorgeous perspective lines in the composition, the watercolor feel, how pretty both Bucky and Tony are (so handsome, wow!), the details that you so graciously incorporated even though the deadline was looming.
It was so much fun to work on this story with you. Thanks for being so awesome <3
