That Tweet Thats Like Im Not Allowed To Believe In The Power Of Manifestation Because I Have OCD But

im sorry but i cannot stop thinking about isha's pastel memories that play during her sacrifice scene.

look at how full of colour this beautiful fuckin shot is:

it's been well established in episodes 4-6 how grim and dark the undercity has become under cait and ambessa's new rule. but look at how isha sees/remembers it - because of jinx.

jinx, who went through a severe childhood trauma that has carried over into her present self - she covers extremely destructive weapons and grenades in bright pinks and blues, neons, childlike doodles, graffiti. (joy and destruction, powder and jinx, a contrast so striking it becomes like a signature for her).

and then we see the world through isha's eyes. when we meet her in episode 2, she's running through sewers, from goons dressed in black; it's grimy and grim. and then all of her recent memories are done in these childlike pastel, almost crayon-y sketches. because what isha saw was jinx covering a dark and grim world in colours.

and so isha covered her world in colour, too.

because jinx made her world bright.

isha looked at jinx and saw the child in her. she saw powder and she saw jinx. she saw joy and destruction. and that's why jinx gave isha so much hope. isha knew the world was grim and dark - but then she watched jinx, and she learned that you can paint over all that grim darkness with neon blue spray paint.

that's why isha believed in hope. that's why in her final moments - in a scene that is lit dimly and dramatically - she sees nothing but a bright world coloured in pastels.

never underestimate the hope of a child.

Okay, so I just had a negative online experience. Don't expect me to post anything in the nearest time. I will be moping in my bed, because some random person on the internet thinks I'm problematic😔

Compliment them. That person you think has their shit together and wouldn't need it or want to hear it. They do. They absolutely do. Their shit is dispersed. I promise you. It is a shambles.

I've had someone tell me to my face that they would compliment me, but for the fact that I already know this or that about myself. Huh???? No. Sorry.

No I don't. In my weaker moments I become an ungrateful mud monkey that has never once internalized a compliment

I adore being told you like me or something I've done. It sustains me, and in my weaker moments when I forget that life is good and happy, you might catch me before I fall.

You ever had someone catch you like that? You can do it too. The ones that catch you have been you in that moment before and know they will be again.

Actually all safe haven toys escaped the facility and now live happily in a remote cabin in the woods

I made a ref for Susan to have her as a solid character instead of a foggy human-shaped figure in my head while I daydream, u kno how it be...

So yea, welcome the depressed, but devoted mother of three dough boys. She's ready to kick some playtime co ass with her magic wand of justice ^_^

Notes on the design:

- her outfit style is inspired by the last of us fashion

- I really love all the short-haired Susan's other people draw, but in my AU, with all the running and lurking in a dangerous factory, shorter hair would only get in her face and become another distraction. Susan doesn't want that. Nor does she care to cut her hair anymore. Depression is tough

P.S. My main inspiration is still the fic "Love him till the day that you die" by the amazing @was-that-a-pun , and also the fic "To bring him home" (by @titantimberwolf ). Oh and um, all the other AUs where Susan survives and Doey gets to have a parent. Because hooo boy does he need one!

Sometimes i get that FOMO over my skykids not looking Cool and Stylish enough to fit in the sky community

But then I have to make myself STOP and remember that I actually really enjoy my mothy little designs when I’m playing, which is most important. Things I love about a moth design:

- I love the way the basic capes flow behind you when you run around. I love that the brown is such a pleasant brown especially with its beautiful cream lining. It lights up dark places so beautifully!

- I love moth outfits! I love that it makes sky kids look like candles themselves with the cylinder shapes. The hide and seek dress was the first item i really intentionally worked hard for, so it means so much to me

- I love moth hair, there are such cute basic styles. I love how all the hairs flow like flames atop a candle

- i love how the moth mask looks like a little face ( o-o )

- I love that in pure concept we’re all candles and kilns and pottery and something certainly not human or even fleshy

- I love appreciating the items I have and how much work I put into getting each piece

I dont know, i love sky and I love how cute everyone is no matter how many cosmetics they have

Forehead smooches from Mom (this woman is making me mentally unwell /pos)

For the record: on my AU's timeline, this moment takes place long after everyone safely escaped the facility

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

Ok so thanks to sky web shop it’s now possible for me to buy paid items. And I couldn’t be happier bc I got moomin tail now🥹

Look at my baby!! Look at them! They’re a cryptid with a bouncy tail!!

I think my depression is healed and I’m a mentally stable individual now

My personal take on Riley
