Two Of The Austria Doodles I Did Yesterday That I Know I Will Never Finish ✨

Grandpa fights/arguments in the context of Germania×Rome? (If that makes sense?)

I think I got what you meant?…maybe…let me know if I got it wrong. -Admin Jay

Germania and Rome

Rome: “Well back in my day-”Germania: “We are from the same day!”

Germania: “These damn kids and their technological fruit.”Rome: “For the last time, it’s a phone, not food!”

Rome: “I demand a carriage!”Germania: “It’s a taxi, dammit.”

Germania to Prussia: “Back in our day, we didn’t have these fancy doctors and medicine. We just died.”Rome: “But we died drunk!”

gilbert has totally used his drill-sergeant voice on german children who are jaywalking.

Sorry for the massive Hetalia spam, I’m using the opportunity while I still have some mildly ok ideas. sketches of fem!England, fem!France, fem!Portugal (design from Portugasm) and fem!Japan as pirate girls

glitch is a gem

everything i never knew i needed expressed in words.

The most hilarious thing about the fact Buckbeak had a trial and lost is that later on JKR resolves the issue by having Hagrid take him in again and renaming him Witherwings. That’s literally all it took. What if in POA, Hagrid simply said, “Sorry, Buckbeak flew away.” 

“There’s a hippogriff right there, Hagrid.”

“A different hipprogriff.”

“I’m… pretty sure that’s the same hipprogriff.”

“Prove it.” 

I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.

But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck. 

I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.

You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.

You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should.  But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.

I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.

And I love it.
