Water Era Of My Art

actually how it feels sometimes to see really good art 

shaking myself (very gently) . being in pain takes a lot of energy!!!!!! being in pain is exhausting!!!!!!! you are not lazy or weak because you need to spend so much time resting, this is your body coping with how much pain you’re in literally 24/7!!!!!!!!!

I find it funny when anyone has a conversation about who should be the next Batman, whether that be comic dudebros or DC themselves because they always focus on the Robin boys or relatively unknowns like Tim Fox. And they'll spent hours talking about it and weighing the merits of each character when the real answer is right in front of them the whole fucking time but they just don't want to acknowledge that clearly Cassandra Cain is the only correct answer here.

I'll accept Terry McGinnis too since he's canonly been Batman in the future but like guys cmon it's Cass. It's so obviously Cass. She's the only one that really wants it and could handle it well. I know Damian wants it too, but I also think he's still young and finding himself and that desire will likely change as he gets older. Even if it doesn't, I've talked about why I think Damian should inherit Nightwing or create his own mantle before so I'm not gonna go through it all again but tl;dr is that one of Damian's major struggles is discovering who he wants to be. He's been saddled with expectations that other people have placed on him his whole life. A good conclusion to his story would be him not inheriting either the al Ghul or Wayne legacies and instead liberating himself and being the person he decides he wants to be.

But anyways this got rambley lol. I just think that Cass should get treated like an actual potential successor for the Batman mantle instead of passed over all the time because she's a girl.

this is why LH!Fleo isn’t invited to peepaw karaoke night god what a buzzkill~

Part 7!

The effects of ninpo overuse are beginning to take their toll

So...this whole part wasn't in my plans at all when I was going to draw, but then the characters started talking on their own and I just sat there and traumatized myself.

I still have one more already finished part left, but I'll save that for later.

Part 1

Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old.

So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork.

This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

what if vampires are like mosquitoes and only the ladies drink blood

feeding the tpn fandom today! (i can’t draw isabella for the life of me)
