The sound of silence~

Look, it's Nashville

I’m so confused

reblogging for that last addition

My heart was pounding just watching this

This is beautiful

I think toy doctors are so nice actually like i remember being a little heartbroken kid when one of my beloved stuffed animals got old and torn up and my mom just threw him out. And i know what it would have meant to me, to have someone lovingly stitch him back up instead so i could love him just a little longer. And I'm really glad there are little kids out there who get to see pictures of their stuffed animals and dolls with little fake hospital beds and casts as they "rest & heal" before returning to them good as new. Like what a sweet thing to do with your life.

It’s also so good for normalising the idea of illness, hospitals and recovery not being bad or scary places, even if sometimes they’re not very nice, because the people there are doing kind things to make you better so you can go back home. No one knows which kids are going to end up dealing with major traumatic illnesses or injuries, and having a safe framework for the idea of a hospital, a safe, painless, vicarious hospital experience is such valuable preparation

[id: two digital art images of a centaur riding a horse like a person would ride a horse in a black and white sketch style without shading or coloring. In the first, the centaur sits their horse butt on the back of the horse and steadies themselves with their front horse legs, holding the reins in their human hands. The horse responds to all of this by having extremely wide eyes as if uncomfortable from all the weight.  In the second image, the horse is going at a run while the centaur has it’s four horse legs wrapped around the horses torso like a rider holding on with their legs. The centaur leans forward with their human body torso. The horse looks calm and determined and has no cartoonish reaction like in the first. The appearance of the centaur in both is of a flat chested person with chest hair, short hair, and a scruffy beard. Both images have watermarks/ signatures by the artist, Jay Eaton 2021.  /end id]
