y’all ever fantasize about a fictional character a little too hard to the point you’re convinced you should be admitted to a mental hospital?

Me to my mutuals:
Would you accept it?
they could NEVER make me hate you fremione.
I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.
When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.
I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-
I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.
The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."
Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.
So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.
nobody gets it. eyebags are charming and attractive. dark circles rule

Lets Play With Mama
Sometimes you have to take a step back and remember that same-sex marriage has only been legal in America for ten years.
when i was a kid i got a 90% on my kindergarten "what are your favorite things?" test because for the question "what is your favorite animal?" i wrote down "puma" and it got marked wrong because my teacher said a puma isnt even an animal its a kind of shoe
i love this "with mama" meme. mm yes give me more baby animals with mmama.
"the world isn't kind" ok??? Much more importantly are you?????
let's observe with mama

“Lolllll English teachers read into everything like it’s not that deep bro”
I will bite your nose off. I will sink my teeth into the cartilage and tear. No one in your high school English class thought you were funny. No one thought you were clever when you snickered about “blue curtains” behind the underpaid teacher’s back. I would say you peaked in high school if not for the fact you actually peaked in middle school. You need to wake up. You weren’t cool in school, you’re not cool now. Devaluing the desperate but failed efforts your teachers made to teach you reading comprehension doesn’t make you look cool. You look so dumb right now, and I’m going to bite your nose off. How are you gonna turn up your nose to the work of writers when you don’t have one?
good things will happen 🧿
things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.

I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?
