idea for christmas #79 a crack in the universe opens up and swallows glee and erases its existence from all of history every gif and episode and everything
When even my mom is encouraging me to get my hair cut short and sending me emails with pictures of cute haircuts…that means it is almost time. This is me committing. If my hair isn’t short by March just sneak up behind me and chop it off. Hold me accountable.
prince & the revolution - let’s go crazy
(long version)
DEARLY BELOVED.
WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO GET THROUGH THIS THING CALLED LIFE.
Did you know that this is one of my FAVORITE SONGS. IN THE HISTORY. OF MUSIC.
Wow I had a whole post written out and then my internet died as soon as I tried to publish it. And Tumblr ate it instead of saving it. I was trying to break up the streak of Homestuck posts because I don’t want this to become a Homestuck blog (too late), but I don’t feel like writing it all out again so. So, ironically, the only thing I really remember writing about was this-
I’m going to stop being serious(ly stuck and frustrated) about my neverending graphic novel project for a little bit and work on a fancomic. Yes, okay, it is a Homestuck fancomic. The comic is going to be Seek the Highblood plus the series of panels after the flash. I’m doing this for reasons. Obvious. Reasons.
OH also I might have a job painting dogs onto Christmas ornaments for $30 per ornament hahaha. The woman who makes them has thousands of backorders because she was featured in Oprah’s favorite things and she can’t paint them all. So I have to try to replicate her style as best I can, which is frustrating because…it’s…let’s just say it’s different than my usual style. I’m also not used to painting on a spherical surface. So I need to paint one more tonight as practice and send a picture and she’ll let me know if I’m hired. I REALLY want to do this because if I get good at it I could probably just paint them constantly after work and all weekend and make a bunch of extra cash.
If the ornament thing falls through I think I’ll do that 30 day drawing challenge that’s been floating around. I’ve been in a funk and have been feeling pretty stagnated illustration-wise. That challenge might lead to some portfolio pieces or at the least it will get me sketching/doodling on a more regular basis.
Huh this actually ended up being pretty close to the original post, so, cool.
Okay bye I guess how to you end a text post, bye.
As you may know, Homestuck Book 1 came out.
For tax purposes and other VOODOO MOJO REASONS, I’ll be acquiring an extra copy of this tome of eldritch horrors. Rather than keeping it to let its dark magicks infect the corners of my home and befuddle my electronic devices, I will be passing it along to a number of the people responsible for keeping the Homestuck Machine moving, including Art Team members, forum admins and POSSIBLY MORE.
We will all do our best to desecrate the book before delivering it to ONE LUCKY AND POSSIBLY CURSED WINNER.
How can you be the one to face this cruel damnation? Well, it’s pretty simple:
- Reblog this post exactly once, no more and no less, and then be luckier than everyone else you know.
Simple, right?
By reblogging this post, you acknowledge that it will take some time for a book to get to the people it is supposed to get to so that they can all draw in it or perform the sacred rites of Mithras over its coveted pages. This book will not arrive at its final destination until well after the New Year, including after a trip to Germany and back. That is why I’m starting the process now.
Just to further infuriate everyone, I will leave the contest open until 12am EST on Christmas Day.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas.
Oh, hey, this is pretty cool.
