April and her fools UwU

In France April fools is called “poisson d’avril” which translates to “fish of April” ! The French tradition is to cut out paper fish and stick them to peoples backs without them knowing as a small prank.

*whisper* that’s why April has a fish on her screen *wink wink *

It felt good to paint something after a while.

it’s time for another semimonthly rose post. i drew this one spontaneously, which is what usually happens. i don’t know what it is, but whenever i draw rose i have to make her fancy and pretty, and oddly stylized.

Why is there no man arching his back with his butt in the air emoji

back in my day we just typed orz to make a little stick figure man doing that (or we would type or2 to give him a dumptruck). And we LIKED it that way!

Taking notes 📝

I think the sky is trying to say something? 🤔 👀 🏳️‍⚧️

Whoever wrote that Vanguard message did so with shaking hands, between sobs & swigs of bourbon straight from the bottle.

They're right, though. Now is exactly the wrong time to make dramatic investment moves. Everybody's shit is doing the same thing; unless you need your retirement money in the next twelve months or whatever, you're better off leaving it alone and waiting for the eventual correction. Like, this is not a comforting lie, this is good advice!

Adultier adult here, having had to talk to my retirement management people earlier this week. (I hate it. It's useless. But I told them to divest me from anything that holds TSLA in the portfolio/fund because Elon is an asshole and the company's financials are shit.)

This week has caused about three percent (3%) of my 401(k) to vanish.

And that's okay.

I can't touch that money without a tax penalty (or emergency) until the 2030's. It's not paying for cat food or keeping my electricity on. This is a privilege not everyone enjoys (yet).

If you're in a position to have any kind of investments, don't do anything rash and/or bananas with important chunks of money. (My financial guy gave me this advice, too. I specifically asked about cashing out the whole fucking thing.)

nothing more beautiful than finally understanding how to draw your own OC's hair

Barbie peaked when they used photos of the dolls as branding, to the point that Barbie picture books would often feature photography in lieu of illustrations. That is full confidence in your product, that its own image sells itself. That's how you know 90s-early 2000s Barbie was peak.

And the photography was GORGEOUS too!! So detailed!!!!! I had a couple picture books from that time as a kid and I'd just staaaaaare at the fabulous tiny sets and props they made for these dolls, the environment felt so real even though it was miniature. I need this energy back.

They were so right for this.

I know 3/4s of these pics are from movie adaptations, but trust me they did it with a lot of other books and other merch too. It was glorious.

if you have OCD that moralistic post it not about you. keep scrolling. i love you

yeah even the one that gave you that sinking terror and has you planning your penance behavior and going through your whole life trying to identify when you did whatever it said about prejudice or abuse or whatever. it's not about you they don't know you and they certainly don't care about you

I enjoy a joke about fucked up German fairy tales as much as the next nerd, but it's genuinely striking how often the source for the really fucked up stuff turns out to be "yeah, this is only in the Brothers Grimm version and doesn't appear in any extant oral tradition, and we're like 80% sure they added it themselves". To a large extent it's not German fairy tales that are fucked up, it's two specific German dudes.

🎶Brothers writing weird tales! Scary Germans!🎵

when i was a kid i had moments of being so fucking diabolical because i realized at some point the best way to leverage power over my family was to do shit that would make everybody late

our house was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods so when i decided i didnt want to wear dresses anymore if we were going to some event & my parents insisted i had to wear a dress i would just go hide in the woods. was so committed i almost made us miss a flight once bc my mom packed a dress in my suitcase

i only promised to stop doing this if my parents got me formal boys clothes to wear which eventually they did. i don't feel bad about resorting to violence bc i asked politely and they said no. proud of 10 yr old me for evil annoying lesbian behavior

5th grade was the last time I wore a dress for school pictures. When my parents attempted to force the issue for 6th grade, I climbed onto our roof and pulled the ladder up after me. My dad borrowed the neighbors ladder. As soon as it touched the roof I pulled it up too. By the time I had 3 ladders they were willing to negotiate, and 2 hours late for work.

Reblog if, no matter the size of the role, you would agree to work with the Muppets if offered the chance to do so, no questions asked

THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FINISH THE PITCH BEFORE I TELL EM I’M IN

Recruiter: Hello, I'm with the Muppets and...

Me: Where do I sign?

🪦 | ‘Underreacting’ | 🪦

A silly lil comic I did to practice how to speed up the process :3 I had created the sketch of this almost forever ago, and I decided to finish it, I very much like the end processes but I do feel I failed in my intended mission. But that’s not a big deal, and I can try again :3 I wish for the life of me I could remember where I found this dialogue/prompt, but I can’t find it.

Either way, Donnie and Casey bond over being dramatic 💜🖤
