Share your pride day 27: thank a person who helped you get where you are.
I was waiting to post this one till I got a response but I sent these at noon and it’s nearing midnight, I might reblog tomorrow with an update if I get an answer.
But basically, I sent this to my best friend, we’ve been as close as siblings since preschool, he came out as trans in middle school and introduced me to the LGBTQ+ community, which is how I figured out I’m gay, and he’s always been supportive of me and accepted me for who I am.

I feel like I have to give a shout out to my drama teacher. This man has been my director in 7 shows since I was 12 years old and I owe so much of my acting experience and technique to his teaching. Thank you Mr. A for being the role model and guiding force in my journey on stage, I look forward to more shows with you in the future.
Day 27 - Just added a little more, since I had to redo his torso... I'm worried that his outfit is too similar to that of Fenn's. Tomorrow I'll try to clean this up and maybe give it some fresh thought.
Just some normal friends enjoying some normal cookies nothing to see here

Creatures of the night.
Inktober day 27
This might be one of my favourites!! Eyeball jam! >:)
I am using a list by winklebeebee!
Inktober 2019 #27: Kopp'tura Lilianas Favored for their exotic patterns, Kopp'tura Lilianas make wonderful house decorations, and are sometimes used as temporary cups. They can last longer if starched or dried.
The penultimate batch of flowers! Look forward to the last one tomorrow. :)
Jara Flora While glass-like plants usually grow in Crescent Minoria, many of them can also be cultivated in the shady Great Buddy Forest. The Jara Flora is one example of this. While usually found in Crescent Minoria, it was brought over and cultivated here. Jara Flora can make convenient storage and can be tied up by means of the tendrils on the plant's sepals. Usually though a little extra work is needed to make the jar waterproof, but since the petals are made of a sort of malleable glass-like material, sometimes the petals just need to be pressed together tightly and hardened, but a little sap between and over the petal seams can go a long way. Generally though they're used as dry storage unless for vases, in which case the former process is used. Even without doing anything though, they can usually maintain small amounts of water fairly well. Waterbubbles are often stored in Jara Flora to bring home, or else carry for a walk without needing to worry about accidentally breaking them.
Clusteria The fruits are favored in jams. Raw they can be pretty tart, tasting a bit like strawberry, blackberry or grape depending on the ripeness and season. They are usually found in northwestern Amicaia, as well as deep south beyond the mountains, near or on the border of Laykia Layna. Left unattended, though, the ones on the border don't grow quite as well as the ones up north, which can be left pretty much unattended.
Lulia Pathvine One of the three types of Pathvines. Here and there across JI grow enormous vines, bridging land and sky. They are hubs for travelers going up to Sky Buddy World or down to the land, in this case, Wing Alayna. They are meeting places, since are easy to spot; landmarks, and ancient plants that have seen many come and go, and survived many a Buddy-Shadow War. Powercloud drivers get a lot of their business near Pathvines, as a climb up the vine alone is arduous at least and impossible at best. Pathvines also serve to bridge the cultures of Winged Amicans and the non-winged, representing harmony. All in all, it's common knowledge that if you want to get to Sky Amicaia, find a Pathvine. You can either get a ride up from there, or have a little fun climbing a giant vine and then probably getting a ride anyway once you've given up trying to scale it by yourself.
Furubara & Stafflant For a long time, the Furubara (left) and Stafflant (right) were considered to be one plant, called the Furubara Stafflant. However, research has come out that this is not the case... in some cases. Reports have come out about Furubara vines growing from Stafflant plants, so the issue may be more complicated than first supposed. However, the two plants are rarely if ever seen growing apart, particularly naturally. The current consensus is that they are strongly symbiotic plants that either can merge or appear to be merged together at times. Whatever the consensus, though, the Furubara is enjoyable for its sweet and yet spicy, cinnamon-like taste. The Stafflant does not have the best taste, but can definitely be used as a more durable water supply than a Waterbubble fruit, though it can crush when pressed enough. If bits of the Stafflant head are sweetened, they are not terrible in a salad.
Yelia Belia A rain-gathering flower that grows during the rainy season. Its flower can be detached and used as storage. It will continue growing back as long as the rainy season lasts, but once it ends, the flower closes up, so it's customary to leave its flower be at the end of the rainy reason. But for those who've brought their own containers, the flower can be easily tipped to fill them up as much as needed. It is said the flower survives on affection when rain water is scarce, allowing Amicans to take as much water from it as they need, so long as they care for it.
Lifi Kleeflower This lily pad-like flower has a very sweet center, that, when the inside of it is exposed to air, quickly hardens into a crystal-like shape. However, it can be melted down and made into a syrup, though usually other ingredients are added to keep it from crystallizing again when it cools. The petals are mostly decorative, but they do have a mildly sweet taste, so they can make an interesting garnish on a desert, especially crystallized in a thin coat of its bud's syrup. The petals keep fairly well as well, so they are even occasionally seen in costumes made or worn by the fashionable Spinning Amicans. The syrup could technically also be used to sculpt the flowers into non-eating decorations, but with their sweet taste they probably wouldn't last long.
Rolawayva Pichi This plant is well-known for both its leaves and its fruit. The Pichi fruit tastes like a sweet peach, but with a hint of banana around the stripes. The leaves, though usually tasteless on their own, make great wraps, though they may need to be softened a little first as raw can taste a bit rubbery unless you get them young or grow them just right. Nevertheless, if you ever get a wrap in Buddy World, you're likely get something rolled in a Rola leaf.
Patternias
A rare, exotic flower found in the recesses of Furheart Iiah, the depths of Warminia Songlianne, and a rare sighting indeed in Amicaia, Wing Alayna. Highly sought after for its patterned petals, which, when consumed by Fashion Buddys, enable them to produce patterned thread. Which pattern depends on the petal consumed, and there are many different combinations that can be made by consuming multiple. It can get a little unpredictable if you're after a lot of thread, so patterned petals are often saved and traded among the Fashion Buddys depending on who needs what pattern.
Crescia Yoruana A slow-growing, nocturnal plant that grows in shady places such as forests and under overhangs. Though its crescents may fool you into thinking it grows in Crescent Minoria, you'd be surprised to find it only on select islands near it, and looking quite different. Yoruanas that grow close to C.M. get glassy stems and leaves, and if they bear fruit at all, they are much harder, though still tasty if boiled soft. The most common place to find them is Wing Alayna, and even then they're quite rare. There have been some sightings of it on islands near Furheart Iiah, as well, but these also take on some different characteristics, throwing skepticism on the idea that the islandic Gapponian variant of the plant is even the same species at all, or only a plant that is either related or looks similar. Either way, if you can get your hands on the elusive plant and its fruit, you'll find quite the dish can be made from it if you're feeling particularly decadent. Also called the Night Spotil, it shares many of its traits with the renowned staple fruit, though some say it tastes more melon-like than the more appley Spotil. The ones near Crescent Minoria, if you find one soft enough or steam it lightly, taste almost like jellybeans. Others of the Wing Alayna variety have been reported to be more grape-like in flavor, and some think it has to do with the phase of the moon or the time of year when it grows. Either way, its glowing crescents (which can also be half moons, full moons and so forth depending on when these spots form) hold their phosphorescent quality even after being cooked, so many a fantastic and delicious dish can be made merely by using the spots and some of the flesh as an addition to any dish that you want to be absolutely radiant when prepared... quite literally.
Holo Senia Usually found near water. Found in Koraln Sing and parts of Wing Alayna. Its hollow center allows it to send and receive its windblown pollen and seeds easier, which is especially important in Wing Alayna where they are scarce. The petals and leaves are often used for tea, and the petals in particular give a slightly sour taste to an otherwise mild tea.
And today we've got some megaflora! Keep reading for more info on this big guy!
Grippanala Pathvine
One of three main types of Pathvines, they are large vines that reach all the way up to Sky Buddy World, making a bridge between the land and sky. Winged Buddys and power cloud services can usually be found here, ready to help you on you're way up. Some adventurous sorts may try to climb the vine themselves or with a group, but it's generally still recommended to go via powercloud--much more enjoyable when you can sit back and enjoy the scenery!
The Grippanala Pathvine is distinguished by the grooves all over the surface of the vine, making it the easiest of the three to climb... in theory. Some may argue that Twis-Tias are superior, but that's a story for another time.
Pathvines can be found sparsely in Wing Alayna. There are even said to be a few found growing from the sea or on remote islands.
Cloudpetal Founta
A relative of the Biminia Cloudpetal, Cloudpetal Fountas look a bit more tree-like, with large, drooping leaves like palm branches. The 'petals' of the Cloudpetal Founta are actually soft seedpods that contain still more cotton within them. The softest garments made by Fashion Buddys often use the inner cotton from Cloudpetal Founta seedpods.
Kreflower Kleera
A clear flower that grows in Crescent Minoria. Unlike many of its peers, this plant grows with absolutely no pigment. This is thought to be due to how quickly it absorbs and utilizes the moonlight it receives from Crescent Minoria's moon, leaving no time for it to develop pigmentation. Though they were once reported to have light pink, transparent petals and dark green stems that were likewise transparent, it seems they have more recently adapted to develop no pigmentation whatsoever. What caused this adaptation to occur is currently unclear.
Apparently I forgot to post inktober day 27 so here it is.

System collapse
When Mrs Hudson entered the sitting room of 221b Bakerstreet, a smile appeared on her face. John had brought his daughter to Bakerstreet this morning, mumbled something about striking daycare and a sick babysitter and left in a hurry. And since then, Sherlock was apparently enjoying his time with the little girl. He was lying on his back on the floor and Rosie was sitting on his chest, playing with the stuffed bee Sherlock had given to her in the early days, and giggling vigorously. Sherlock was smiling up at her, watching his beloved girl with a warm and fond gaze.
“Juhu,” Mrs Hudson announced herself while entering the flat. “I've brought some tea and biscuits, thought you could need some, after all this playing around.” She saw Rosies eyes widen in delight, nod excitedly and jump a little on Sherlocks chest, what forced a huffing sound from the man. “All right little bee,” he said and wrapped his large hands around her body. He lifted her abruptedly and held her in the air with outstretched arms, hovering over his own body. She burst into laugher, the sound light and clear and she was wriggling and squirming in Sherlocks grasp. When he was about to lower her to her feet she screamed 'noo' and Sherlock lifted her up again, mirroring Rosie's grin.
Mrs Hudson smiled while setting the table and followed the scenery from the corners of her eyes. If only John could see how lovely Sherlock was with the little girl. But he was always so reserved when John was around. Finally Sherlock put Rosie down on the floor. “Well, I think this is enough,” he smiled at her and wanted to stand up himself, but as he put weight on his left foot, he winced slightly. He'd had a sprained ankle some weeks ago, but apparently it still ached when he put weight on it after sitting for a long time. Rosie must have noticed as well, because she stopped on her way to the kitchen and turned towards him. “Papa?” She asked concerned.
Mrs Hudson froze at the exclamation and just stared for a moment. Eventually a warm feeling exploded in her chest and she gasped and put her hands over her mouth to cover the delighted sound that wanted to escape her. This was so adorable, Rosie and Sherlock really had a special-
But as she turned her gaze to Sherlock, Mrs Hudson's smile faded and the warm feeling turned to ice, apparently boring holes into her chest and knotting her stomach. The man was displaying an expression of utter shock, he was pale, even more so than usual, his breathing was strained and ragged, it was as if he was paralysed, except his violently shaking hands and rapid blinking. Mrs Hudson felt like she could watch his mind work, the wheels turning and turning, but not coming up with anything. And she could see this brilliant mind collapse, just... shutting down. Completely. Sherlock was staring at the girl with wide eyes, not moving for a very long time, and he looked so scared, nearly horrified, that Mrs Hudson couldn't move either. She could see that Sherlock was taking deep breaths, trying to regain control, but she could still see the utter panic in his eyes when he crouched down in front of Rosie.
“Rosie,” he said, his voice trembling and a bit hoarse, but urgent. “Don't... Please, don't say that in front of your Daddy, or mention it at all.” Mrs Hudson's mouth was hanging open. No, he couldn't mean that, could he? What was he saying? Rosie seemed confused as well. “But,” she said, “But you play with me, I have my own bed here, and I've read that some children have two Mothers or two Dads. Why can't you be my Dad? Daddy likes you too.” Sherlock shook his had. “Please, little bee, I don't think your father would like this idea, he doesn't like me like this, like-” He paused, swallowed. “I'm just a friend. You belong with him. Please, don't mention it to him, yeah?” And just with that, Mrs Hudson could feel her heart crack. Did Sherlock really think- Well, what did John make him think? She wasn't able to find words for the misery she saw right in front of her, for the pained expression on Sherlock's features, his obvious hurt when he told Rosie not to call him her father, even though he clearly wished she would. He was so deeply, deeply in love with the Watsons, with John, as with the little girl, but he was afraid of John's reaction. Because he didn't dare to show his feelings. Because he thought John wasn't reciprocating. Well, Mrs Hudson wasn't sure herself. Sometimes she thought, there must be something, clearly, but sometimes the doctor was denying it so profoundly. And wasn't that terrible in itself? Rosie was nodding slowly and said hesitantly: “Okay...?” It sounded more like a question. “Thanks,” Sherlock said, but he was still looking so incredible sad. Oh God, Mrs Hudson thought, oh dear Lord. It was as if the ache in her chest was caused by a real dagger made of ice. “Oh Sherlock...” she said, and the man lifted his gaze to hers, his eyes wide, and he was looking so young, so unbelievable young and vulnerable.
