"don’t Even Let Me Get Started On Zuko"

into the daylight | part 3/6: wounded the good.

As Will is thrown onto the ground in front of the woman, her eyes widen in recognition, and Will’s breath hitches as terror grips his heart. Oh gods no, he thinks to himself, watching the recognition on the woman’s face turn into something even more familiar.

Hatred.

“You,” the woman hisses lowly, and she crouches down to Will’s level, grabbing him by the jaw and forcing him to look at her in the eye. “It’s you.”

Following the Party’s arrival in Corazzia, Will and Mike find themselves separated from their friends and forced to confront the shadows of their past.

after an unplanned 2 month hiatus (rip lol), here is a 35k word chapter of into the daylight for you. it’s an emotional rollercoaster so buckle up and grab your tissues because you’ll need it 

i’m old, i’m satisfied, and you were my purpose. THE LAST OF US, 1x03: LONG, LONG TIME.

Day Nine: Dice Dog

Day 10: Something Kind

(A kindergartener I work with made this out of gingerbread play dough and I just know it has a kind soul despite its evil eyes)

My friend and I decided to go into the new year with our first daily drawing challenge since we both finally invested in iPads and Procreate. We’re doing the Dreyfus 10 Day Drawing Challenge and while the quality of them varies daily, I’m having a lot of fun practicing digital art for the first time.

Here are days 1-7:

1. Flower Friend 2. Coffee Creature 3. Love Bug 4. Empath 5. Cowboy Cat 6. Rainbow Child 7. Smiley Guy

Kainora: Before the Match

Reusing an old sketch pose of mine to churn out a quick kainora piece. On the horizon (hopefully) is a comic strip featuring the slightly older version of these two after Kai has joined a pro bending team! Written by trylanaire. His uniform is based off of the sky bison color scheme, because how perfect is that?

Art dump part 4

okay story time

so my art teacher assigned us to do a chalk pastel still life of fruits n shit and I was like “no”

so I drew a banana instead.

and my teacher came by like “you need to have more than one fruit in your still life”

so I was like “k”

and so I put that cherry on top of the banana and titled it “Banana Split Without The Ice Cream Because Life Is Full Of Disappointments: By Fall Out Boy" and I turned that shit in.

My art teacher just started laughing out loud in the middle of class

Magneto wrote that addition.

“Old friend” either means an elderly dog or an individual of the same gender with whom you have been secretly in love for more than a decade. There are no other possible interpretations.

How it feels when you and all the other kids who actually participate in class get put together for a group project
