Me: Okay, So I Have All These Expensive Prismacolor Pencils Here, What Should I Draw With? :)

just in case anyone doesn’t know :)

notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

it’s not the end.

You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.

Oh my goodness!! Those are so cool! Good job!!!

Ninjinktober day 3: True Potential

I don’t have a name for them, but here’s a character I made..

Hi :3 this is for day three (true potential) of ninjinktober. I know it doesn’t look amazing but I tried :)

Can I ask a question?

What counts as an au? If I had everything the same but The streak in Morro’s hair was pink would that be an au?

The unprecedented amount of trauma in the plot trenches.

Ruby van Omerta (How to Get My Husband On My Side) • Raeliana McMillan (Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion) • Katarina Claes (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom) • Aristia la Monique (The Abandoned Empress) • Penelope Eckhart (Villains Are Destined to Die) • Aileen Lauren d'Autriche (I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss) • Maximilian Calypse (Under the Oak Tree) • Florentia Lombardi (I'll Be the Matriarch in This Life)

I’m testing a new style (three guesses for what inspired it) and I’m not sure if I’ll finish it but here ya go~ (I couldn’t erase the sketch properly, sorry)

This is for day five (ghost) of ninjinktober :) I know Morro isn’t very original but I like him.

here’s a random drawing I made in like thirty minutes, it’s not the best but I like it ^.^
