While it definitely lost some of its appeal by being scanned I still adore this one. I really love the way that watercolor retains its beauty even while looking "unfinished and messy" and that's one of the reasons I love this style so much. With my watercolor I don't like a lot of needless detail because it detracts from the overall look of what I'm going for.
Today, my therapist was talking about how the smallest bits of self-care — even making yourself a mug of warm tea — are a way of recognizing your own worth, and how meaningful they are when you really dislike yourself. “After all,” she said, “I don’t know about you, but I don’t often make tea for people I hate.”
And that really hit me, especially because I’m an acts-of-service kind of person and tea is one of my go-to ways to show people that I’m thinking about them, care about them, and hope their day could be a little better. So maybe when I make tea for myself, I’m saying that to myself, too, that I’m thinking of my own needs, caring for myself, and trying to make my day a little better.
And that’s really important to me because a lot of days I struggle to do basic things to keep myself going and just feel like I’m self-destructive, only ever making things worse… but most days I still manage to make myself a mug of tea or two. And it’s good to know that that matters.
For my #fabulous niece. Can't wait until you're old enough to get this gift. Love you, beautiful. I know you'll grow up to be an awesome, smart young lady. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! I'm honored to have you as a niece. (at Tegucigalpa, Honduras)
The other day I got a worried person asking “why I bring politics into this” and why I am “not going to give an apology” to them because I don’t tolerate racism, xenophobia or misogyny. It was… the clumsiest attempt at emotional manipulation I’ve yet faced. I really hope that Nazis and their friends learn to read some day, because I think I do have it written down on this blog in several places that hey, fuck off.

Somehow I survived doing this.I present to you a low quality fanart of the ultimate Mary Sue queen. If you haven’t read My Immortal Fanfic you can bleach your eyes here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5835837/1/My-Immortal-The-Return
Notes: If is a different day, I opted to only draw what Tara described of the outfit, if she didn’t mention her make-up or shoes I believe Ebony didn’t wear any.
Unless the fic says explicitly that it’s a different day I tried to keep some of the aspects of the last outfit that Tara didn’t change or didn’t mention. (Like her make-up or shoes).
The little icons that appear in like three of the outfits are the earrings she was wearing that chapter.
Doing this was beyond confusing but fun.
