I'M GRADUATING COLLEGE THIS WEEK!! Guess who made it onto my cap lol

About the art request: are you doing like, any kind of fandoms or only the ones you listed in the your pinned post? Just wanted to make sure before sending anything 🙂‍↕️

Probably only the ones listed, thanks for clarifying! I feel like whenever I do requests from things I'm not familiar with it doesn't turn out as good. Gotta have just a pinch of obsession to complete the drawing 🤌

WHATS UP NERDS!! I'm a little art blocked right now so if y'all want to drop me any requests that would be nice :) can be anything, canon characters, ocs, it don't matter! I may do em I may not we'll see 👍

I’m don’t think the links in your pinned post work

They don't 😔😔 I made them on desktop but they won't work on mobile, y'all will just have to enter em manually I guess!

Kind of annoyed that old movies are always lumped together instead of defined by different genres because like. to me, old movies are just regular movies... a glimpse into my dark and twisted world..... please give them the genre seperation they deserve

Thinking abt how much I love physical media lately. I don't think streaming services can replace the feeling of an actual, physical copy that I can hold in my hands, especially when I think about the box sets of shows I've had since childhood, lost their covers, corners are scuffed, etc. Same goes for comics - I have a handful of original printed comics and just being able to see the ads from the era makes me so happy lol. The ADS. I am NEVER happy to see an ad in the middle of an episode I'm watching on a streaming service!! Ik everyone's joking about DVDs making a comeback bc streaming services are getting worse but please I am all for it. I hoard those. They are mine forever, unlike a paid subscription. They can pry my 20 year old DVDs from my cold dead hands.

I DID IT!!!! IVE WATCHED EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF PERRY MASON!! ALL 271 EPISODES AND THEY WERE ALL FABULOUS I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS

I'm designing an oc and I feel like I need to lean into the cringe a little. I'm just not cringe enough. I'm too afraid of peoples opinions. help

I offer you all this, which is a really bad drawing of the Mad Hatter that Johnathon Crane drew in a dream I had a while back and I couldn't stop laughing at it lmao,, this is my best artists rendition

HHHJFHNNG OHHH MY GOD I FINALLY BEAT GRIM MATCHSTICK!!! I CAN'T FEEL MY HANDS

Also happy valentine's day to them. and this screenshot. that I cried over. because I love them so much.

fyi I have more vintage batman villains in the works!! I'm planning on doing riddler, catwoman (redesign), ventriloquist maybe, poison ivy maybe, robin also maybe???? thoughts and suggestions welcome <3

I also used to be a Girl Scout 😃 (Brownie to Senior)

Ahh that's awesome!! I started as a Dasiy (I was a year late though lol) and I stayed all the way up until Senior, my troop had disbanded by then and I was with a Junior/Cadette troop. But I was still a Scout haha. I earned my Bronze award but I never went for Silver or Gold :/

Hey are you actually interested in the history of Girl Scout uniforms because man oh man do I have some resources for you.

Yes. Yes I am. I dug through three whole boxes of girl scout stuff in my historical society's attic. I'm planning on doing an exhibit of the uniforms they have at some point. I haunt their attic for free.

Seriously though any resources would be helpful!! When looking online I found pretty much just summarized short versions of the history of GS uniforms from 1920-1960, nowhere near enough. However in my historical society's attic they had a book meant for collectors, and it had every badge and uniform and rank, and they were organized precisely by year which was quite a relief when putting together my 1939 GS outfit. But! That's the most I've found. One thing I haven't been able to find out is why some scouts had red kerchiefs, and some scouts had yellow ones. Doesn't seem to be because of rank, is it just troops' choice like the crest???? Idk if anyone can help me answer that one it'd be much appreciated lol

I am this 🤏 close to starting a perry mason related side blog. Dangerously close. I'm warning y'all 🫵

I think fear of being perceived is such a mental roadblock to posting art because whenever I do all I can think of is like. nothing but crickets. eep eep. It's like I'm getting up on a podium in front of a really big silent crowd and I'm SWEATING like you would not BELIEVE. It would be so much easier to just Not post it and be able to sleep at night. But then. well. It will never be seen. shower thoughts for y'all :)

After 3 years of waiting and a long, hard week I finally got to watch phantom of the opera 1925 in theaters with a live accompanist. Let me tell you I felt God in that room
