God Dammit For How Long Does Arthur Think He Needs To Sleep, My Boy Should Be R E S T E D.

I’m so sad I couldn’t finish this in time for Iwa-Chan’s birthday ;-; 

But I’m pretty happy with how it turned out :)

I always take recommendations if they're good recommendations!

bi and pan people!!!!! are neat!!!!!!!!

reblogging this is not mandatory but it is highly recommended!

The fact that two girls can do basically anything with each other and not be considered gay is so distressing,,,like

I‘ve made out with at least 10 girls in my life time but I think I‘m straight…? But also girls are fucking gorgeous and oh my god and,,, am I maybe bi? am I lesbian? I‘m really fucking confused and I totally blame society for that

Actual conversation I just had with my mother:

her: "Oh who are you drawing?"

me: "Levi."

her: "Where's he from?"

me: "Attack on titan?"

her: "Oh that sounds good, let's watch it!"

Long story short, I think I turned my mom into a weeb.

Something interesting I just realized, because I‘m experiencing it pretty badly at the moment:

It‘s hardly talked about, but once you are making noticable progress in your recovery from depression the damage it has done on your life really starts to kick in.

Suddenly you‘re more aware than ever how much work/social events/life in general you missed, because the question „Why did you achieve so little over the past couple of years?“ is absolutely inevitable and people will think that you were lazy during that time.

I think this is the most dangerous point of recovery for relapses, because whenever someone asks you what you did or didn‘t do while you were sick the realisation hits like a train.

Me saying this could definitely be regarded as pretentious, since I myself haven‘t exactly found a way to cope with this feeling, but I feel like it‘s very important to drown out those voices of „you didn‘t do anything“ „you were just lazy“ and „you‘re a complete failure, look at you“ with thoughts of „I survived.“ „I made it through“ „I managed not to let myself starve, I showered“ „I fed my pets/watered my plants regardless of how terrible I felt“

I‘m mainly saying this to myself in this post, but figured maybe this makes it onto the feed of someone who needs to hear this as well. Stay strong guys, we can get through this!

Ok but Iwaizumi is such a legit ace. 

Why:

1. Crazy awesome receives (those saves during the Karasuno match in season 2 where he was diving all over the court)

2. Vice captain: who even keeps the captain going (remember those end credits?)

3. Great serves: Ukai specifically said that they needed to limit Oikawa (who has the craziest serves) and Iwaizumi’s serves because they were so powerful

4. Keeps up the spirit of the team: when they lost a point but then he scored and told them that it nullified that lost point (then the coach said that he gave them back their fighting spirit)

5. only one who can keep Kyoutani in check (much to Oikawa’s chagrin)

6. Powerful spikes (on par with Japan’s top aces)

7. Technique/knowledge: when he spiked the ball between Koganegawa’s arms (like woah)

8. Motivational speeches: like the nullification one, but especially to Oikawa because his speeches always seem to flip a switch inside of him (the team with the better six is stronger…/someone who can’t see the opponent standing right in front of him..)

Pepa is slowly becoming my favourite character to draw, I love how they designed her, she has just so many expressions!

plus she‘s super hot

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

I just stared at this for a solid 10 minutes before going „OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING-"

… I‘m in a crowded pub… with my dad

This post is less Good Omens- related and more personal, but there's been a lot of arguing over "representation" in the fandom the past few days. The strong feelings people express are awesome but ALSO I really want us in the community to appreciate and listen to one another.

People want to KILL queer people. There are still many, many places where it is not safe to have any identity other than cis het. Fighting that means sticking together, not tearing each OTHER apart. Allosexual, asexual, lesbian, gay, cis, trans, nonbinary, gender queer, GNC... we're all part of this community and we're stronger together.

In Good Omens, Neil Gaiman gave us a glimpse of what a world could be if people got to decide for themselves how to present and who to love without the hate and prejudice that inevitably comes along with that in the real world. I know people are questioning exactly what Crowley and Aziraphale are and how they identify, which is fine (honestly I don't know that we'll ever find out for sure. It may be something private between the two of them). But saying things like "it's homophobic" (for them to be ace), or "it's acephobic" (for them to be gay) sort of defeats the purpose of "it's a love story", doesn't it? At the end of the day, maybe it doesn't matter what EXACTLY they are. They're unapologetically QUEER and their story is for and about all of us.

It's okay to disagree. It's okay to ask questions. I mean, that's the moral of Good Omens, isn't it? We don't have to be the same; we SHOULDN'T all be the same... there's strength and beauty in our differences. But even if we don't all agree with one another, let's support each other.

I see them as gay male coded beings who have chosen that identity for themselves and would enjoy sexual pleasure as much as any other earthly pleasure. If YOU see them as agender or nonbinary sexless entities who are QPR or ace or aroace and would never have sex, I SUPPORT THE HELL OUT OF YOUR RIGHT TO DO SO. I'm in your corner and I will fight for you.

Love you all. Love that we love the ineffable love story of Good Omens, whatever form that takes, and let's lift each other up rather than tearing each other down.
