I’d personally like to think Trucy knew what Phoenix was asking and was like “sic ‘em pops” because if I’m honest I’d want to get back at the dude who threw my life into shambles in the most poetic way possible too. Especially if the person they threw into shambles with me took me in without a second thought and stepped up for me because I was vulnerable, even if they were also hurt in the process too. Especially in trucy’s case where she comes to see Phoenix as her real father, and Phoenix adores Trucy as his daughter.

“You forged evidence and used me? Well, oopsies! Looks like the evidence you wanted to use against us was forged as well! Silly me, silly papa, how in the world did that happen? Oh? I delivered it? Well how was I supposed to know that it wasn’t real, that’s not my job, I’m just a silly teenager!”

I also believe she is far too perceptive to have not figured it out.

Like yeah, it’s not the merciful, righteous, “truth is unveiled in court” reveal that Phoenix would have pulled off pre disbarment, and it’s certainly not moral or legal the way he outs Kristoph, which definitely shows how he’s lost a lot of faith in the law because at the end of the day it failed both himself and his daughter tremendously, and it also shows how he’s willing to Bend and break rules if he deems it necessary- which he kind of didn’t before- but those are like, the bitter, scorned reactions I expect from someone who was failed so terribly. Phoenix and Trucy were both hurt by Phoenix’s disbarment. They bonded together through that hurt. Lived with it. Suffered through and persevered. But that anger would still be there, bubbling under the surface. And an opportunity to get revenge on someone who hurt you in a terribly satisfying way? Ooo boy. I’d take it. I’d take it and run.

a pawn twice over

WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT—

This just in:

Apparently people think that making art for arts sake is different from fulfilling a self-centered want, as if all humans don’t a) have inherently self centered wants because clearly anything done to continue living is not at all self centered on a base level (despite the fact that this usually means suffering to other organisms and that includes other humans), and b) that any form of creativity is done for the sole good of giving to others (which, by the way, depending on how you parse it isn’t self-sacrificial by any means either and is usually still just as self-serving) and if you have any urge to want to make art for yourself and have fun you’re apparently bad on an intrinsic level, and if you enjoy the art others make about the same subject you’re even worse, somehow.

I’m sorry, have any of these people taking a class on rhetoric or philosophy, or anything that makes them USE THEIR FUCKING BRAINS?!? Away from the online space?!???

Babes it’s time to divorce yourself from the phone and live in the world around for a moment, because these were some very nonsensical inside thoughts you’ve had just now.

just so you know, you have some followers who enjoy/write fanfiction. not saying their urls rn bc i don’t wanna air out dirty laundry in public but if you want them so you can block and report, just say the word and i’ll dm you a list

He’s been asking for that damn cheeseburger since 2010, and now that it’s in his reach, you’re going to eat it in front of him?

A work in progress of mermaid nrmt.

My shoulders hurt.

I made a brush specifically for scale textures because I got that fed up trying to texture by hand. Hopefully I decide to finish this one.

Every time I go to draw something I go “hey! I should color this” and then that leads to “hey! I should shade this” and then I fall into the trap of “hey! I should texture this” and suddenly I’m three days deep fucking finger painting in procreate because I’m too broke for an updated Apple Pencil that will pair with my iPad and I’ve decidedly bit off far more than I can chew because I’m trying to fully render something, and then on day four I start looking at it sideways and going “I don’t even know if I like this anymore.” And I don’t even know if it’s worth posting it at that point.

Well I wasn’t gonna bother you since you asked me to wake you up when September ends :/

I’ve been waiting a year to post this

We really all just be living and vibing.

Quick reminder that you don't need a solid sexuality! You can just be in love! Or not be in love! Or have a gender! Labels are a choice, not a requirement. All you need to do is be someone you like being! If labels help with that, great! But they are not required. You don't owe it to anyone, so don't feel pressured to choose labels if they aren't your thing!

“This is an intervention.”

“bro please don’t play this game”

Yes. Absolutely.

i forget that phoenix is technically a millenial HOWEVER maya is gen z

that being said do u guys think maya takes silly 0.5 pictures of phoenix?? if yes do u think phoenix immediately found this hilarious and started taking 0.5 pics of miles, who promptly responded with violence (lovingly)

Pretty sure this is what we in the biz call depression.

!!! BABEY !!!

The fact that I can remember every single episode this post references with startling clarity might be terrifying—

—If I was not the kind of child to have rewatched the entire series seven times over.

Plot twist.

I was.

And I’ll fucking do it again.

Well I never had the chance to watch Avatar the Last Airbender ever…. which sucks, but.. now it’s on the net flix so guess what ya boi’s doing !!!!!!

Not to mention there’s a lot of cultural ties to the sheer number of cultures that have immigrated here, and depending on where you are, you might actually not just be feeding four people, but grandmas, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandchildren too. Even more if you’re hosting an event. (Thanksgiving with a ridiculous number of extended family is a great example of this.) Food is a huge cultural factor as a result. Not making enough for everyone is considered rude or inconsiderate, because it’s like saying “well I didn’t take into account you as an individual, so that sucks ig, you’re not worth the thought” and you just don’t do that. At least you’re damn well not supposed to. Even to the people you don’t like.

Left over culture is huge in the south and Midwest (especially the Midwest, people will pawn off leftovers to friendly neighbors).

Calorie dense foods are often cultural remnants of Italian and Irish immigrants or American family recipes from the depression worried if they were going to make it to the next week, and are culturally important. Some of the Latin culture that’s immigrated in as well actually does sometimes regard it as rude to finish your plate (though that’s not extremely common throughout the US, it’s still something to consider)

If invite you to my home and make extremely meaty and carb rich Italian or Irish family recipes, I don’t expect you to eat ten bowls. If you need that much I’m not gonna stop you, but I’m gonna look pretty concerned that you’ve not been getting enough food in general to be THAT hungry.

Also, it’s usually considered a polite gesture to bring something you’ve made along to hostings and events as a means to contribute to festivities, and to alleviate some of the hoster’s stress about making enough. Also further fosters the culture of sharing meals and food as a show of good faith and a means to bond.

Seriously though it’s also really nice when a relative or a friend genuinely cannot keep themselves away from something you made because damn it’s tasty. 10/10 feeling. Like discovering the holy grail of pride and self accomplishment. A little sad that you have a clean plate to take home, but so fulfilling to know the thing you made and brought was that tasty.

Note to vacationing non-Americans: while it’s true that America doesn’t always have the best food culture, the food in our restaurants is really not representative of what most of us eat at home.  The portions at Cheesecake Factory or IHOP are meant to be indulgent, not just “what Americans are used to.”

If you eat at a regular American household, during a regular meal where they’re not going out of their way to impress guests, you probably will not be served twelve pounds of chocolate-covered cream cheese.  Please bear this in mind before writing yet another “omg I can’t believe American food” post.

He still faked his death and ran away for a year but yeah he did in the end

"I can fix him"

Literally the only person, who ever managed that, was Phoenix Wright.

NOOOOO JIMMY! YOU SHOULD’VE UNIONIZED WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE!!!!

Poor guy is a slave to capitalism like the majority of us now. Gods rest his blue collar soul.

One day he will be free

You’re forgetting the part where they lived on land for a while, and then some of em said “naw fuck this I’m going back”

And then RE-EVOLVED AQUATIC ADAPTATIONS.

Thank,,,, you for this,,,

I can never find my fucking references that I like because theyre scattered to the wind

Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

Here are my notes on the lower body muscles

Remember guys!!! September is ovarian cancer awareness month!

WEAR SOME TEAL TO REPRESENT!

Bro what tjhe fuck

Omg Edgeworth in among us this is not a drill

Anyone ever have someone talk down to them in an email and get the primal urge to crush them under a well written verbal onslaught of petty, bitter, and unbelievable annoyed words?

Like “ah yes Debra checking my email would have avoided this issue, BUT UNLIKE SOME BITCHES, I can’t be glued to my fucking computer all day cuz I got shit I have to do. My life doesn’t revolve around my email inbox, unfortunately. And I have ADHD and object permanence issues. So. Fuck you for talking down to me like an asshole.” But make it really eloquent?

Listen, Phoenix is precious. A love struck dumbass bisexual disaster, yes, but still a precious little thing.

Anyway!

Personally I think that miles only gels down flyaways because ain’t nobody got hair that sticks that smoothly to their head. I think Phoenix’s hair is just made of chaos incarnate which is why it happens to be like that.

thumbnail sketches who? Never heard of em.

The worst part is even if I do thumbnail sketch I end up hating it after five minutes and redrawing it anyways.

Aquarium date!

Total work time 109 min

You make me feel seen with that “I hate this pose lemme redraw it fifty times” in the beginning. Thank god I’m not the only one who does that.

Aquarium date!

Total work time 109 min

I hate you for this. So much. Why did you do this. This could’ve stayed in your head but now it’s on my feed and I’ve seen it and now it’s In my head. How dare you do this to me.

hi everybody

Something I think about a lot is how as a kid, I picked a bunch of wildflowers for my mom.

I didn’t know what they were, just that they were tall and dainty, and pretty, not to mention they were everywhere.

I knew when I was little that something was very wrong between her and my dad, but seeing me come in, with random bits of dirt on my face (and somehow in my ears too) and all over my hands seemed to make her light up for a moment. She’d even scold me a little when I would bring in a bushel so thick our usual vases and glasses wouldn’t fit them. Even in spite of me picking the yard of our house clean of flowers, those dainty purple stalks would pop back up within weeks like I hadn’t just overharvested what me and my parents thought at the time were random lawn weeds.

Now that I’m older and a bit wiser (and don’t cause a wake of biological destruction in my path), and I know what was actually happening in that house, I think it’s funny. Especially since I’m really fond of flowers and floriography.

I was giving her blue toadflax. That especially looking back on it now is painfully ironic. It’s not a typical bouquet flower, but it does have a meaning.

It’s been a long while since I found the site that listed one of its meanings, but it symbolizes protection, and was said to ward off curses and hexes, or even land stewardship. Others said it symbolized joy and vitality. Emphasis on the protective aspect, and it being a stubborn, determined pioneer plant- you can probably argue resilience too.

I was giving her a fucking protection charm and neither her nor I even knew it. Not until I was like fifteen and saw the flowers again and was like “hmm I wonder what these mean, I used to give them to my mom all the time.”

Damn it if the universe ain’t a petty poetic bitch then what is it even?

Don’t send this to miles you’ll kill him dead.

Phoenix with his hair down.. he looks unrecognizable it's pretty scary I know 😔😞

Me coming to terms with the fact that I need to wake up and get my ass outta bed in the morning

MERLIN (2008 - 2012) Arthur Pendragon ▶ Season 5, Episode 11: “The Drawing of the Dark”

Wdym he’s apart of it too. Even if neither him nor Phoenix admit it.
