Hypothetically speaking. ‘ if someone wanted to start drawing at a teen age do you think she or he would as good as the people who worked their whole lives’

I don’t think people fully realise that “teen age” is, how do I put it, Young As Heck? 😭 I understand (and remember) that living for like 12-18 years feels like A LOT, but in a grander scale of things it really isn’t. 25 is young. 33 is young.  So If you do start at a teenage age, you have SO many more years ahead of you, I wouldn’t really be worried about not drawing since you were, say, 5.  It helps, yeah, but it shouldn’t stop you from starting something! No age is too old to start Anything you’re interested in!  Life is (ideally) quite long. There shouldn’t be a certain age you pass and think that, no, I am already too old to start learning that, you aren’t! Life is for learning new things, regardless of ones age^^ And also, there Always will be people better than you at something. There are plenty of 16 year olds with much larger potential and art predisposition than me. Already, so much better than me even if *technically* I had like a 10 year old early start compared to them. There are plenty people my age that aren’t as experienced at art as me. Regardless of your age, it will always go both ways. You will always be better than someone at something you do, and worse than someone else, just because...there are just so many people and it’s just how it works. So I don’t think that comparing yourself (with no experience in drawing) to someone who has been drawing for a long time (and most likely started as inexperienced as you) would be a very healthy approach.  I’d definitely say don’t let your age stop you. Whatever it is. It’s never too late to start something and I Sincerely Mean It. 

I’ve not been well over the holidays so decided to mock up how i’d illustrate PJO instead lol - all in lorem ipsum so I don’t get in trouble with the big mouse!

I make fun of coffee drinkers for being physically addicted to and dependent on badbreath bitterdrink but when i dont have my morning tea i feel like a mentally ill caveman about to do something bad.

when the ladrien hits

So Sally Jackson dropped a match in a milkshake and immediately Poseidon showed up

Which means that her milkshake did in fact bring all the boys to the yard

getting my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow!

the girl i like kept asking if she could come with (it was literally the first thing she said after I told her i was getting the surgery) but she's not actually going which is honestly a good thing because it would've run the risk of, as one of my best friends puts it, spilling the beans. fortunately we don't have to worry about that

tbh I love that Sublime exists.

I'm not familiar enough with her character yet to know how much I like her herself (though I think she had a solid introduction! I like her so far!) but mostly I love the role that she is filling. I love the disability representation, I love that Adrien made a new friend that he silently goes on runs with and shares classes w that he doesn't share with Marinette, I love that Marinette has someone that she can feel threatened by in her relationship, I love seeing Marinette navigate her jealous feelings but with all the character development that came before it (she has learned that hating someone due to jealousy is bad and that she can't judge someone solely for being close to Adrien. She's doing what she wishes she'd done with Kagami to begin with — try to be her friend — but all the while she's struggling with the fact she still feels jealous, even if she won't admit it. That's good character development! Marinette can't turn off her feelings, but she can react to her feelings in different ways! That's what she's doing!). It's nice to have a "love rival" (sort of) who isn't an antagonist (like chloe and lila were) other than kagami (who is now taken and poses no threat). It's nice for Adrien to have a friend that he made on his own! She's basically re-filling the role that Kagami left behind, which is great imo, because it was an important role! Also, I'm so curious to see whatever is going on with her involvement with Tomoe. And I love that she's there to flesh out their new school! The show is kind of starved for civilian characters atm asfhasjklsaj

Let's play guess how many missing assignments I have! Do YOU know how many it is? ... You don't? Neither do I! All I know is it's a lot 😃

Brb crying bc of the fictional found family in my phone
