Just to let you know, if you've replied to a post that I've made and the first few words look and sound like fighting words, I stop reading and proceed to pretend like you never posted.
I REFUSE at my big age to fight on the internet. If you disagree with whatever I posted, that's fine, but it's also not my problem.
I used to fight on the internet when I was younger and it made me a mean, nasty and bitter person (only online, thankfully, but that nastiness stayed in my thoughts)
I'm older now, A LOT wiser (experience wise) and have got no time for internet BS! I came here to post art, read fan fics and occasionally post opinions.
Despite the foolishness that happens around here, I still quite enjoy Tumblr and I'm not letting anything ruin that for me!

Did some pattern doodles in this girl's hair! Another fun idea for some sticker art!
The tag for this is #agdoodles
Some girls from my sketchbook that I liked!
I inked them with a red ballpoint. The first 2 are the same girl in different styles. Her name is Antoinette. Of course, she has a whole story. She's one of those Ocs you create for those times when you're bored and the only way to entertain yourself is with your thoughts
The other girl was drawn from the typical Pinterest ref, so her anatomy is a bit better.

Silly, silly funny looking creature masquerading as a dog that @wetdogblog posted.
Her name is Primrose and I decided to draw her as realistically as I could. Loved drawing her fur! So fluffy and curly!

'The new boy was a demon straight from hell, who came to corrupt their school and she was the only one who was trying to do something about it.'
Fourteen-year-old Gabriella Pierre seems to be the only person at her school not completely enamoured by the supernaturally beautiful Cyrus Hinds, the new boy in their year. A simple touch of hands reveals to her an insidious visage and dark designs now intent on destroying her life.
'What better way for a demon to mess with a teenage girl than to 'fall in love' with her?'

The new boy was a demon. She knew that it was hard to believe. Her friends didn't even believe her when she tried to tell them! They laughed, thinking she had a crush on the thing and was trying to deny it! The new boy–thing–creature, calling itself Cyrus was a demon straight from hell, who came to corrupt their school and she was the only one who was trying to do something about it.
He came to their school in the middle of the second term, an awkward time to transfer schools, especially secondary schools. He was placed in class 3-B as they had space from a couple of students who transferred out the years before. Gabriella was in class 3-D, so she didn't see or hear much about the new boy until lunchtime. She sat with her friends, Amaya, Kadiah and Marissa at their usual corner table in the cafeteria. Huffing softly, she listened as they gushed about him.
Amaya, being from 3-B, had all the gossip. Their usually quieter friend had a lot to say. With stars in her eyes and awe in her voice, she told them about the tall, handsome boy with deep brown skin and eyes like Brown Obsidian gems. His voice was warm and sweet like hot chocolate, his smile was as bright as diamonds and–
“He's the most beautiful boy I've ever seen!" she signed dreamily. Her wild curly hair flew around her, seeming to be taking part in her excitement and her glasses nearly fell off her face as she gestured wildly.
Gabriella huffed again.
"That's not saying much, Maya. Boys aren't that cute in the first place."
Marissa sighed in exasperation.
"Oh come on, girl. I know you have high standards when it comes to boys, but this one sounds like he would definitely surpass them!" She flicked her long plait over her shoulder, grinning mischievously.
Not this again. Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"I have zero standards for them because I expect them to always be up to no good!"
Her friends laughed good-naturedly.
"Whatever you say, Gabs," Kadiah chuckled. Her fingers were twirling one of her twists as she turned back to Amaya, who took that as her cue to continue singing praises about the new boy.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance. A small crowd was starting to form and voices were rising.
'Ahh,' she thought. 'The man of the hour is here.'
Sure enough, as the crowd parted like the red sea, the new boy came into view.
Oh wow. Gabriella felt her heart flutter a little in her chest. She frowned. It seemed Amaya wasn't exaggerating. He actually was that beautiful.
She thought he looked like one of those royal elves from the Young Adult novels the girls liked to swoon over. He was tall and trim with wide shoulders and a slim waist. The boring white shirt and purple trousers that was the boys’ uniform looked like designer wear on him. He had smooth skin with a few moles here and there and warm dark eyes. He smiled at the people around him, dazzling them with his pearly white teeth. His afro hair was cut into a fade with pentagram star designs on each side of his head. She was surprised he got away with that.
Everyone seemed to be eager to meet the new boy, practically throwing themselves in his face for him to notice them. Gabriella looked on in confusion, her face screwing up at the behaviour. What kind of circus show was this? Are they not embarrassed? These kinds of things only happened in the movies! She couldn't believe people were behaving this way. And over a boy! Sure, a very handsome boy, but still!
"Ahhhhh!" Amaya whisper-squealed. "He's coming this way!" She had latched on to Gabriella's arm squeezing and shaking her. Slapping her friend's hands away, she watched as the new boy made his way over to their table. Already a bit annoyed and not really in the mood to be nice, she spoke before the boy could open his mouth.
"What are you doing here?"
Her friends were aghast, trying to apologize to him and scold her at the same time. He waved them off, laughing softly. Her friends melted. Ugh.
"Amaya right?" he asked. Not waiting for an answer from the girl, he pulled out a sparkly pink pen from his trousers pocket, holding it out to her.
"Thanks for letting me borrow it."
Amaya took the pen reverently. Marissa and Kadiah gaze upon it as if it held the secrets to the universe. Amaya, still too shocked to say anything just nodded, still giggling.
Not missing a beat, the new boy carried on the one-sided conversation. "Are these your friends?"
That shook her back into existence. Amaya jerked, almost falling out of her chair.
"Yeah-Yes!" she almost yelled. "Th-these are my friends Marissa, Kadiah and Gabriella, who's normally really nice." She gave Gabriella an annoyed yet pleading look.
'Play nice and please don't embarrass us to death,' she seemed to say. "Everyone, this is Cyrus!"
Gabriella rolled her eyes but kept quiet. Cyrus smiled at the group and her friends visibly swooned. Honestly! She was starting to feel like she was in a teen drama!
"Nice to meet you all," he said. He held out his hand to shake. Kadiah, who was closest took it immediately, with both of hers.
"Yes, sooo nice to meet you!" she gushed.
Amaya and Marissa were more dignified, softly shaking his hand and giggling all the while. Gabriella stared at his hand for a few seconds. She looked up at him and scowled slightly when she saw that he was grinning down at her. He cocked an eyebrow in challenge. Fine then. She took his hand.
And that’s when things grew weird and terrifying.
Where their hands touched, smoke began to form and deep, nasty burns bloomed across his skin. The air filled with the stench of rotting flesh. Before she could pull back in horror, he did. He yanked his ruined hand back, cradling it to his chest. He hissed at her, his beautiful face contorting grotesquely. And not in the normal way your face goes ugly when you're angry. No, his face grew long and his mouth wide. His teeth went from perfect pearls to long, crooked, yellow daggers. His ears grew tall, long and pointed, like some kind of animal's and his eyes flashed bright and red, burning with a fire that could only be from hell.
Before she could scream, everything went back to normal.
Gabriella blinked, still frozen from the terror at what she saw. But Cyrus looked normal. Normal, pretty face and perfect smile. No pointy ears or red hellfire eyes. His hands were tucked into his pockets, but he wasn't behaving as if he had horrible third-degree burns. She slowly looked around at her friends, and at the other students in the cafeteria. No one was acting out of the ordinary. No one was acting as if Cyrus had just transformed into a monster. He wasn't acting as of he had just transformed into a monster.
Gabriella looked on as he made an excuse to leave, something about needing to head to the principal's office. Her friends cheerfully said their goodbyes. Amaya elbowed her not too gently.
"Fix your face," she hissed.
Gabriella felt the deep frown on her face. She smoothed out her expression but didn't bother to smile as her eyes met his. They were warm and brown and shining with interest. He didn't look upset but intrigued. He smiled at her, a slow, small smile that was meant to look shy.
"See you later, Gabriella?"
His eyes flashed red for just a millisecond. Her breath caught in her throat. She wanted to get up and scream at him, curse him out, maybe grab his face to see if it would burn just like his hand. But no. She would look crazy and get in trouble for attacking the new boy. So she smiled her fakest smile and said,
"See you later, Cyrus”.
Gabriella had some investigating to do.

Drew some more Tamika, my OC from my yet-to-be-written story Reluctant Jamette.
She's a 'Christian' aka grew up in a Christian family but doesn't actually know what Christianity really is.
It's a recent addition but I think it'll fit so well with all the bs she'll be going through because of that ignorance.

So I saw this post about the victims of gaiman and it was..... not very well thought out ngl.
It was basically one of those 'lets not jump to conclusions' type posts and OP listed some known facts and 'facts' about what was up at the time.
Their reblogs were a mess. People weren't happy at all with what they had to say. I think they made another post with more correct info, but that didn't help, because the 'lets not jump to conclusions' vibe was still there.
I think OP was leftist and sorry, not sorry, the American left (online at least) is very immature and hypocritical. This backfires on you in cases like this, because if it were anyone else being accused, most of you would have jumped to crucifying them.
People have been frustrated with the way you've been tiptoeing around gaiman, especially with what he admitted to doing. Even if it's proven that rape wasn't committed, he still slept with young women young enough to be his daughters. That's gross! What business does an old man have sniffing around brand new young adults?
I know you all looked up to him and admired his work, but coming online and making 'lets not jump to conclusions' type posts is not the way to deal with these revelations!
I made an earlier post that said something along the lines of 'waiting patiently to see more posts about this situation' but I take it back if the posts you're making are taking the focus off the victims and potentially excusing horrendous crimes.
One thing OP said that I agree with is that y'all should get off the internet and touch some grass. And probably put down your Good Omens and Coraline for a bit.
And probably delete any iffy posts you made about this situation before it comes back to haunt you in the future.

Just in case this attracts the wrong people: I don't argue on the internet. I'm not a debate- type person and I don't enjoy the act of going back and forth with people that don't want to hear you. If you want to argue, do it with the wall.
