Sketch of the lil cry baby

Don’t mind the first part me and my friend were having a draw off

I just came back from Latvia! So I have a bunch of crap from there if you guys want to see it! It's mostly has to do with Russia/ the Soviet Union (I don't support either governments)!

I can also tell you a couple stories and post a couple of aesthetically pleaseing photos of the place (I'm a 'photographer').

I also made plenty of doodles whiles bieng there/coming back. (though most weren't about Sonic so I'm not going to be posting them here but on another blog later.)

Oop he smokin'! In more ways then one. XD

Don't repost/use ideas without credit! MB💖💖💖

I love geography jokes

A childrens book cover I found for the legend Lāčausis (bear ears) which inspired Andrejs Pumpurs to write the epic Lāčplēsis (bear ripper)

I'm on holiday and staying in Riga for a few days and wanted to bring attention to the beautiful faces around the city!

I think that in the advent of modernization, people have left behind the idea of everyday art , art that enriches communal spaces and adds character to places. I've been thinking about it a lot, how this kind of lush art isn't as common as it might have been before, and how it's so noticeable now when it is there because we often are absent of it.

But they were brothers.

I'm going back to my roots with this one because the Lāčplēsis rock opera never truly leaves my mind, THEY WE'RE BROTHERS not by blood but by choice! until the interferance of enemy forces and the influence of greed and guilt tore them apart, its literally tragic and on my mind all the time.

It's the drama of 2 friends competing for glory through what they view as just acts of heroism. Love that trope great trope

Lāčplēsis and Kangars from the 1988 Lāčplēsis rock opera. I just think their dynamic is so interesting like what's tastier than two blood brothers driven apart by jealousy

I am forever cursed to like things that nobody has made a fandom for, RIP all my passions wasted , anyway here's Ziemeļmeita telling Lāčplēsis to man the fuck up from the 1980s Lāčplēsis rock opera

Drawn for a secret Santa exchange this is for all my Latvians out there, the marriage of Lāčplēsis and Laimadot as afficiated by Ziemeļmeita based in the 1980s rock opera.

They always say that tumblr is a place for specific niches

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

New I recognised this look from somewhere…

As soon as Neowise comet became visible, so many photos appeared across internet with it! Here is my capture of this magnificent comet. Unfortunately because of pretty bright and cloudy night it wasn't seen so well. I hope to have good weather in next few days to have another chance to photograph this thing! You still can see it, so take your chance! It won't be seen again for another 6800 years!🌠 . . . . . #latvija #latvia #enjoylatvia #thisislatvia #landscapephoto #landscape_photography #nightscape #nightphotography #comet #neowise #cometneowise #roamtheplanet #visualsofearth #visualambassadors #nightphoto #outdoorlife #outdoortones #folkgreen #planetearth #amazing_captures #awesome_earth #awesome_shots #moodygrams #thegreatplanet #nakedplanet #world_shotz #travelers #beautifuldestinations #stayandwander #depthsofearth (at Cenas Tīrelis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6Fko_BQ5d/?igshid=1kvjsbs6h7yd0
