Older art from back in April
I don't know what I miss more, having free time to draw or these fellas
The raven cycle!!!!
Oh I love these guys. Everything about these books, I want to draw them soooo much more (I probably will)!!
Guys I'm back-
It has been a nightmare lately this is the only thing I managed to draw in weeks? Finals and uni stuff that's taking all of my time and energy, slowly turning me into a cafeinated slug (worst part is caffeine doesn't even have an effect on me? I only drink coffee for the TASTE can you imagine). Anyway the rush won't be over until end of January but hopefully I'll be able to ignore the stress and draw anyway :)

okay. regarding the ASL interpreter on the news about hurricane Milton.
im going to need everyone who doesn't know anything about ASL and interpretation to STOP trying to "catch" this lady faking ASL. honestly just shut up. I have seen so many "is this real? this looks so fake" posts over the past 2 days and its genuinely so irritating and disheartening. yall don't know anything about ASL as a language, Deaf culture, HoH culture, interpretation, NOTHING. and honestly, as a deaf person, its makes me frustrated seeing people blindly insult not only this specific interpreter but ASL as a whole.
ASL is not just English with your hands. it is a whole separate language with its own culture, grammar, and needs. the interpreters expressions were not eccentric or over the top. facial expressions are NECESSARY for D/deaf and HoH people. so many of us rely on them for tone and meaning.
"why can't they just use captions". number 1, ASL is not English. they're two different languages. number 2, live captioning can often be inaccurate. number 3, English might not be the first language of someone who uses an ASL interpreter.
if you're hearing about a deadly, horrific natural disaster on the news and your first instinct is to try and catch a "fake interpreter" without any knowledge of the language and culture, i need you to take a step back and stop speaking over the D/deaf/HoH community.
ASL and the D/deaf/HoH community have been consistently shunned and outcast from the rest of society, and people continuing to perpetuate harmful and frankly gross stereotypes and rumors about ASL and the D/deaf/HoH is disgusting. stop.

“i know.”

Brokeback Mountain but it's Charthur
i drew these on an ipad, which is NOT my preferred tool at all, so don't mind it too much.
My bf has been telling me the recent discourse that has been surrounding Kevin Day on this god awful social media platform (I live in peace and harmony where everyone I interact with/follow likes him so I’m having a great time)
BUT WITH THAT HERE IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
stop reading solely from Neil’s perspective, or if you are going to, at least acknowledge that he is unreliable.
We as readers know that we cannot trust any opinion that comes out of that kids mouth and this is proven multiple times not only by him straight up lying but by the way he interacts with the world around him and his private thoughts on situations. Why WOULD this deeply traumatized 19 year old runaway have sound characterization of everyone he is around.
Kevin is a character that is rooted fundamentally in his environment, he is a product of that. If you want to make critiques about how that is written, be my guest, you absolutely should, but you should not completely disregard his narrative purposes because of your problematic fav.
He is 21, a college student trying to not only heal from what should have been a career ruining injury but also just the mental hellscape that he abruptly left and abandoned after spending his entire childhood submitting to, and the future it provided. I think it’s okay if he’s a little rude sometimes, he’s human.
They all are, that is the point.
