Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
Just a bunch of bad boys
Drew a Legiana on the dorm whiteboard today!
Reference under the break!
Made this for an event I’m planning on my Minecraft server! The idea is that every participant builds an arena in their base so every fight happens in a different part of the server. The arenas are going to be unique as people are encouraged to go wild with them. I know one participant is planning to build a maze arena! I’m excited for that one lol
This piece was a lot of fun because it was the first time I enjoyed making something in a while! Kinda went with a comic book look for it and I’m happy with it
PEARL OMG OMG OMG
She so evil on this picture
A Nargacuga I drew on the whiteboard in my dorm’s den tonight!
I may have severely shortened the lifespan of the blue marker,,
In my early teens, I thought myself completely average. I was acing my classes, advanced in three subjects, in band, jazz band, and archery. I qualified for the archery state tournament and I got the highest mark at contest with my clarinet ensemble. And I thought all of it average. I felt good about those accomplishments, but I didn’t let myself feel special for having done them.
There’s nothing wrong with being humble, but I wasn’t letting myself be proud of my accomplishments. I started to think differently when my art teacher in my senior year of high school commended me for my knowledge in both the arts and in academics. What she told me was the most influential thing an educator has ever told me. She admired my willingness to learn about a subject I already had great experience in and my ability to critique and take criticism. She said that I had great potential and that I had the mind to be like Leonardo da Vinci.
Just,,
I had never been told something like that before. Whenever I think college is too difficult, I think back to her.
I try to give people compliments like that now. Knowing how well it resonated with me and inspired me, just think of what others could do with such a push.
consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
This is why I study biology
“I learned that just beneath the surface there’s another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper. I knew it as a kid, but I couldn’t find the proof. It was just a kind of feeling. There is goodness in blue skies and flowers, but another force—a wild pain and decay—also accompanies everything.”
— David Lynch (via human-voices)
Farewell to an amazing show. Owl House will always have a place in my heart for the deep worldbuilding and attention to detail of even the smallest background characters
Anyways I made this in like four or five hours which is a bit shorter than usual so I’m proud of myself lol
