Not Another Paranormal Romance- Artwork 1

For those who have been looking, I hope you find this.

For everyone else, I don't argue on the internet. Talk to the wall 🧱

Was inspired by the art style from one of my favorite childhood books, School of Fear.

Drew a random petrified girl in an imitation of said style.

Too many people are having the same dreams.

I hope those who are looking find this

For everyone else, I don't argue on the internet, so argue with the wall 🧱

It’s absolutely WILD to me that people can witness actual literal miracles and tell me God doesn’t exist.

My friend needed surgery and she was terrified. There was a good chance she was going to lose her foot. And despite not being any form of Christian she asked me to pray for her because she was so scared. So I prayed for her. I got hundreds of other Catholics to pray for her. And on the morning of her surgery, the doctors told her the problem was gone. They didn’t need to go forward with the surgery. Her foot was fine. She was healed.

And to this day, she tells me that the Church takes good people and turns them into bad people. Fills their heads with lies.

My sister, those “bad people” are the ones who prayed for your healing. Which you received. Because you asked for it. You had one moment of faith and it saved you. You saw it. Witnessed it. Lived it. Blessed because of it. That wasn’t a lie.

And I’ve seen behavior like this more often than I’d like to admit.

So now when someone says “why didn’t God do X?” My response is “would it have changed your mind?”

"no one's saying stop being religious, just if it comes down to your religion or me you need to agree with me" do you hear yourself

Birdritch in my brains

Uh uh uh @clockwayswrites *ding dong* heretakethisIloveyourworkbye!! *ditches this on your doorstep*

Please ignore the poor anatomy.

I can't get over the eldritch bird preening Batman's ears.

DANGLEY HOOD LEGS For reals tho. Clockway's Birdritch AU is scratching an itch in my brain. I had these doodles on a piece of paper for so long... I finally got it on my computer and rendered. I don't trust myself with colors recently tho, so grayscale it is! Except for the bird. He didn't look right with any kinda shading, so startling white it is! Go read the DP x DC birdritch AU. Is fun! BONUS:

I realise now why I don't like reading first person POV fanfics.

Nobody ever writes them correctly. Instead of writing with the personality of the character, the character ends up sounding so detached from the events. It's like they're the faceless narrator recording the events and then jump in to interact when it's their turn to talk.

Just saw someone try to write Danny in the first person POV. The writing was fine, but the POV wasn't POVing.

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is an excellent example of a successful first person POV.

I remember reading the book for the first time at 13. I've never read a book with a first person POV until then and for a while I wrote a lot of my stories with that POV.

I suck at writing first person POV these days. Unfortunately knowing why I suck doesn't help me suck any less 🥲

Hello! Just wanted to ask what you think about the idea in the fandom that Shang might be bisexual because he was in love with Ping before he knew Ping was actually Mulan?

It’s silly, and stupid. It’s the product of people mistaking any kind of “positive reaction” for “romantic love.”

Shang is impressed that Ping can fight well, especially since he’s the one working toward that goal—having trainees who can fight better than he found them—and people think that pleased/impressed facial expression must mean he was in love with a man.

Shang is glad at least someone is on his side, based on his own merit, not just base on his parentage—and he happens so be glad enough to show a tiny half smile over one shoulder—so people think that tiny half smile means he’s in love with a man.

Shang’s life is saved by Ping, who breaks the rules, breaks ranks, and disobeys a direct order—the complete polar opposite of discipline-focused-character Shang—and so he shows concern when Ping collapses—so people think that concern must mean he was in love with a man.

There are many and varied shades to human emotion. It is not “totally impassive” OR “wildly in love.” A smile doesn’t mean one character is in love with another. Joking together doesn’t mean one character is in love with another. Concern when one character is injured does not mean one character is in love with another. Growing up together and remaining close through hardships does not mean one character is in love with another. Bickering doesn’t mean one character is in love with another.

Romantic love is a conscious choice that might get its inception from an involuntary moment of attraction. But everything else about it has a beginning moment, and that beginning moment is when Character A consciously thinks, “what if me and Character B got together romantically?” Shang does not have that moment until he’s on the steps of the Emperor’s palace. He has a changed perspective, he has admiration, he even has camaraderie, but he does not have “what if me and Mulan got together romantically?” until after the fight is over and it’s time to evaluate who they are to each other.

People have a desperate desire to make every positive or barely-kind interaction between two people be the utmost peak of all affection, instantly, and it’s sad. It shows either an obsession with sexual desire or a desperation to see “romantic love, which is the Peak of All Interactions” in everything.

I was watching a makeup seller on YouTube and she had this transparent blush (I think) with a cloudy-haired girl on the packaging and I thought she was so pretty and drew my own cloudy-haired girl.
