The air brushed style for this one is inspired by Tom and Jerry and the Magic Ring, a movie I frequently watched around Halloween :3 Also I haven't airbrushed for shading and highlighting in YEARS, what a throwback this has been

It is Soup Sunday my dudes!! Today we have stuffed bell pepper soup with couscous
A bowl of soup, half eaten because I forgot to take a photo until I started eating it. It was just too damn good man. Anyway there's hamburger, green bell peppers, and onion cooked and simmered with couscous in beef broth. I also added parmesan cheese and chili flakes to it. I love soup so much

While this was a common occurence years ago, it's very rare nowadays that I have a nightmare that I can remember after jolting awake, much less make enough sense of it to jot it down later. This one was just from last night
Part 1 of 2 screenshots of texts from a nightmare I had:
Dream about two grandparents taking their grandkids out on a row boat on the lake they live on. One grandkid is a teenage girl, the other a baby. Something is wrong though, as the lake has become filled with algae, moldy and swampy. As they turn around and go back home, the boat capsizes just before they reach the shore. The moment everyone falls into the water, they're overcome with an extreme, unbearable exhaustion, excepting the baby who starts bawling loudly as he ingests the water. The grandmother and the teenage girl fall unconcious under water, slowly drowning. The grandfather attempts to grab the baby and crawl to the shore, yet he too succumbs to the waters, the screaming baby slipping from his arms as he goes under.Part 2 of 2 screenshots of text from a nightmare I had:
Admist the baby's screams, the teenager slowly stirs awake at hearing her brother's cries, even while underwater. As she struggles to rise, she realizes her and her family's bodies are slowly getting pulled away from the shore, the lake floor beneath them opening into a dark pit, filled with floating corpses and skeletons. A set of human teeth line the pit's opening, slowly illumimated by an unearthly light, and the suction builds into a whirlpool that pulls the unconcious grandparents and the wailing baby down into the depths. The teenage girl, now in fear for her life, struggles to swim against the current, her brother's screams filling her ears, yet no matter how hard she tries, her exhaustion and the strengthening current slowly pull her past the teeth and deeper into the dark abyss, away from the surface.

Then I woke up

Can confirm this is real. I was there. I made a goth trans girl Garfield pic using this quote
Garfield as a goth trans girl smoking a cigarette and wearing a trans flag pin. In her thought bubble she thinks:
"Anyone who doesn't support trans rights should be drug out into the street and shot."

Also included a headshot doodle used to test out the markers. My friend thought the floating head was funny, and I'm more than inclined to agree~

Morning thoughts
White text notes against a black background: 

Heart on my sleeve like a bleach stain that won't wash out no matter how hard I scrub

I'm in my healing villain era (continuing to be kind and not letting my heartbreak define me, subverting expectations)

Letting go of the pain that threatens to consume me from the people who won't care either way, if only not to detract from those who go out of their way to help me heal

I can't control how others feel towards me, no matter how much I apologize. But what I can control is the concious effort to be a better person every single damn day.

After a month of consistently swimming along with strength training, I can confirm getting proper exercise does in fact help your physical and mental health. Exercise is unfortunately NOT a scam
