Ive Said This Before And Ill Say It Again But It Is Absolutely An Example Of Civilizational Inadequacy

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

My Lunar Chronicles girls. It’s been a while since I drew them (:

I’ve started a series where I wanted to do modernized!Shakespeare. I don’t think its finished but these are some of my favorite characters so far. A few things:

The men in Midsummer Night’s Dream are so awful.. @willy shakes set the women free please…. set them free. also let the ladies date

[looks at my half-dozen drawing of Benvolio/Mercutio vs. my single drawing for Romeo/Juliet] What do you mean Bencutio isn’t the main couple in R&J?

I kept the soccer thing for Viola & Duke… She’s the Man is flawed but it’s also my childhood just let me keep the soccer thing

I demand more genderqueer Viola

Shoutout to anyone who picks up on Hippolyta’s outfit i know its rly obvious but just. shoutout

Hero deserves so much better than Claudio. Hence, the obvious Hamilton…. In fact there’s a lot of designs clearly inspired by certain actors…..

One old Mercutio designs is inspired by @crystallizedtwilight which im like 90% sure their design is also inspired by certain R&J production’s character design but anyways credit to them

Monk!Jester !!

hey mal! i was thinking about getting into knitting and i was wondering what sorts of projects you’d recommend for beginners? and also i was just wondering what sorts of things you like to make?

scarves are a classic for beginners (since they can be made just with the knit stitch, it means you get a lot of practice on that stitch), but they also can take quite a while unless you use super bulky yarn. but if you do use super bulky yarn, i’d say a scarf is a good idea ! i didn’t look for any patterns for this one cause. you don’t need one, you just cast on some stitches (with super bulky yarn you’d cast on between 10-20 stitches depending on how wide you want it), knit for about 6-8 feet, and then cast off.

alternately, fingerless gloves are very good for beginners ! they can be very simple–you can make them with worsted weight yarn and just knit two squares and then sew the sides together. here’s a couple of patterns: this one can be done knowing only the knit stitch, and this one is a little more advanced, and uses purl stitches as well

i also think cowls are very good first projects for learning to knit in the round–you need to know how to use circular needles, and also (generally) knit and purl. here’s a couple of patterns: this one is bulky weight and very simple and uses knit and purl stitches, this one is worsted weight and you only need to know the knit stitch, this one is basically the same as the one before but with bulky weight yarn, and this one switches between rows of knitting and purling

hats are just a little more difficult–you need the same skills as cowls, but you also need to know how to decrease. patterns: this one uses super bulky yarn, so it’ll go very quickly, and this one is with worsted weight yarn

i personally have knit an awful lot of hats, but i like knitting cowls and socks as well. i like the idea of knitting bigger things (like sweaters) but I haven’t actually gotten around to it yet.

ultimately i think kindness is the most radical thing you can do with your pain and your anger. it’s like, you take everything awful that’s ever been done to you, and you throw it back in the world’s teeth, and you say no, fuck you, i’m not going to take this.  you say this is unacceptable. you say that shit stops with me.

humans are fucking terrible and this awful world we live in will fucking kill you but if you are kind, if you are brave and clever and try really hard, you can defy it. you can impose on this bleak and monstrous structure something beautiful. even if it’s temporary. even if it doesn’t heal anything inside you that’s been hurt.  

i’m gonna sleep and i’m gonna wake up and i swear by everything in this deadly horrible universe i’m gonna make someone happy.
