I turn 22 this month and it’s dawning on me.  I had high school teachers that were 22.  There are people my age who are forming the minds of dumb high schoolers.  They were 22 and given THAT MUCH responsibility.

How…???

But also there are soldiers younger than me.  I go through checkpoints onto Marine bases and they call me ma'am because I’m older than them.  There are Marines born in 1996.

HOW??????

I’m tripping out a bit too much over this right now.  Wow.

I just want to give a shoutout to the best vegan I’ve ever met, she’s in my drawing class and we can have the best, most civilized discussions over our mutual love of animals and she does not diminish my love of them because I eat meat and wear leather.  God bless her for destroying all vegan stereotypes and proving you can have strong believes without imposing them on everyone.

MY RUSSIAN HISTORY GROUP PROJECT TEAM WINS EVERYTHING

EVERYONE IS FIGHTING OVER DOING THE MOST WORK

NO ONE IS DOING NOTHING

WE’RE ALL COMMUNICATING ON A TIMETABLE

WE’RE GETTING DONE EARLY

AND NOW WE’RE CRACKING JOKES ABOUT RUSSIAN STEREOTYPES

SOMETIMES LIFE IS GOOD

For anyone who notices, I’m unfollowing a lot of people right now. For the majority of them, I actually enjoy the blog or the artwork, but my mental health is not in a good place right now and too many blogs are sharing content that is negatively effecting me. There are just too many topics right now that are getting ugly, from doxxing to insults to threats to the usual media fair, I just can’t observe it in a healthy way anymore. There’s a chance I might follow those blogs in the future, when I’m healthy and things have quieted down, but not now.

SMAUG

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THEY USED SMAUG IN THE SCIENTFIC NAME??!

this is just my hypothesis but the Latin name probably came before lord of the rings

Actually, they named the genus after the Tolkien creature in 2011.  So, the dragon came first.

But the name Smaug was chosen by Tolkien because it was derived from the Germanic verb smeugan meaning “to squeeze through a hole”.

I’m going to be broke post-Christmas, but I’ll be giving the best presents.

Googling “manly cooking products” yields a plethora of weaponized utensils.  Because forks and knives weren’t dangerous enough, let’s make your mug capable of sending someone to the emergency room?

Why.

So what were the Korra writers on when writing the “Remembrances” episode…?

My online Russian history class professor has either given up or is the greatest realist.  From the class’s website, he actually linked to the assigned novel’s Cliffnotes page. 

I’m sitting on this massive pile of sketches, doodles, and finished pieces and I never have the time or patience to take and edit decent pictures.

Digital artists have it easier, pfft.
