Disclaimer:  I never went to art school and am NOT an expert in these things, but here are some basic guidelines that I follow when I draw heads.  

Here are some extremely helpful videos by Kienan Lafferty that are pretty close to how I draw heads, so I hope it’s useful for you guys too!

Hearthstone Being Sassy Ft. an Oblivious Thor pt.2 (The Hammer of Thor)

Pages 363-364

He considered a hand drill, a tape measure, a corkscrew, and the iron staff we’d almost died retrieving from Geirrod’s fortress. He threw them all to the floor. “Nothing!” He said in disgust. “Useless junk!”

Perhaps you could use your head, Hearthstone signed. That is very hard.

“Oh, don’t try to console me, Mr. Elf,” said Thor.

Pages 369-370

“Regardless, he must summon it for the ceremony! The bride has the right to insist. The symbol of my hammer is always used to bless a wedding. If Thrym has the real thing, he must use it if you request it. And once he does, we’ll move in and kill everyone!”

Except us, Hearthstone said.

“Exactly, Mr. Elf! It will be a glorious bloodbath!”

Page 370

“That will never happen!” Thor said. “Loki’s place of punishment is in a completely different location, sealed long ago by the gods. Loki is bound even better than Fenris Wolf.” 

And we saw how well that worked out, Hearth signed.

“The elf speaks wisely,” Thor agreed. “There is nothing to worry about.”

Bonus Ft. Alex Fierro page 368

“We have other problems to discuss, and not much time. Thrym is expecting his bride to arrive tomorrow.”

Alex folded her arms. “It’s decided, then. I get to marry the big ugly guy.”

Yes, you marry him, Hearthstone signed. Many happy years and fine children. 

Alex narrowed her eyes. “I can see I’m going to have to learn sign language. In the meantime, I will assume you said, Yes, Alex. Thank you, Alex, for being so brave and heroic.”

Close enough, Hearth signed.

Staying Organized as a Lazy Girl

To start: Rake through all your junk in your desk drawers, under your bed, and every other nook and cranny. And if you’re anything like me, you might be a bit of a hoarder, so throw that old receipt away (or old kinder egg surprise in my case) and move on. Ask yourself, will I really need this in the future?

1. Now that that’s all done, my number 1 thing is to keep things minimal! Don’t go overboard with decorating because in the long run there will be an accumulation of clutter again.

2. Use baskets, small box shelves, and boxes for storage. Inside of these there is no organization whatsoever but at least it makes me look and feel organized.

3. Use mason jars to store things. I use them for my pens and pencils, makeup brushes, and to hold small change.

4. Keep a hamper nearby so that you aren’t tempted to throw clothes on the floor or on the back of that chair. You know which chair I’m talking about, the one that’s about to topple over, yea that one.

5. Make your bed in the morning! It takes two minutes, and all I do is pull the comforter up to the pillows and fold it back. This will put your whole day in motion towards feeling more organized (The throw pillows don’t make it up there every morning but I try.) 

6. Now this step (is extra) was hard for me, so this is more like an if-you-are-up-for-it kind of a step. I started to make a bullet journal, creating pretty lists made me feel like I had my life together even though I spent no time doing actual work and I spent two hours trying to make sure the letter ‘h’ was pretty. So if you decide to tackle it maybe set aside some time on a weekend afternoon to creating a pretty list of things you’d like to do this fall!

Get organizing! Or napping, because I usual op for a nap ;)

Eurovision 2023: the show of unfairness and the triumph of people’s hearts

My god, this year left me exhausted.

It’s 1:30 am, the Eurovision Grand Final just ended and I am starting to write this post now, because I need some time to calm myself before going to bed. And maybe putting down some thoughts about this year will help me find some peace - at least for a couple hours.

This year has not been what was supposed to be, starting from the show and ending with the winner.

But let’s start from the beginning.

______________________________

Ukraine: robbed of their own show

We all know Ukraine couldn’t host Eurovision in their country because of the war, so they asked the UK to do that.

And the UK tried to be a good host. They reminded us of the reason why Ukraine couldn’t do it, they tried to call Ukrainian artists and make the show about them… only to systematically forget it two minutes later and start acting as if they won and this was their show.

I hope now you understand why last year I said to not give them power over anything. The UK has a tiny little problem called “massive ego” and if you give them a little crumb, they will immediately scarf the whole cake down.

This year should’ve been 70% Ukraine themed and 30% UK themed. What we had instead was the other way around: the UK gave us a tiny little interval show in the semifinals about Ukraine, then a massive show all about the UK.

The Gran Final has been the icing on this disgusting cake. It started with a bang, featuring all of our favourite Ukrainian artists in the span of five minutes: Tina Karol (I had no idea she was Ukrainian, what a nice surprise!), goddess Verka, my beloved Go_A with The Only Queen That Matters, aka Kateryna Pavlenko. And, of course, our favourite winners: the Kalush Orchestra. Man Carpet is still an icon and I still wonder what the singer sees behind that pink hat, but I don’t care. It’s perfect, it’s great, I want this but 200x more. I want them to steal the show, I want them in all interval acts. But no worries, I’m sure they will definitely appear more during the final. I mean, there’s no way the UK called them just to appear for 20 seconds, right? Right?

Oh sorry, my bad. I forgot this isn’t Ukraine’s show, this is UK’s show. We should definitely have Sam Ryder in the interval act and we should definitely make it all about English songs. I mean, it’s not like there are four of the most beloved Ukrainian artists in Liverpool. Let’s make it all a huge masturbation session of the UK instead.

I apologize if my metaphor offended someone, but this is what I felt while watching the UK celebrating itself. Like… can’t you do this in a private room? Do I really have to watch it? This is just one step below Portugal’s show, which showed a massive ego as well and tortured me for three nights straight, by repeating how cool they were and how nice they were and how I would’ve done a great choice visiting them.

But even if that was torture, at least Portugal was the winner of the previous year, not a host masturbating over the fact they are allowed to host a show they didn’t win.

The only choice I fully approve of in this show is the postcards idea: that was very elegant and respectful and I want to thank the person who thought about it. The cards show Ukraine’s beautiful places, UK’s beautiful places and every country’s beautiful places. It’s all beautiful and it’s a great way to both honor Ukraine and emphasize UK’s hosting role, since it looks almost like the UK acts as a “connection” between Ukraine and every other country.

Unfortunately for us, this is the last proof of elegance we will see for the rest of the show.
