A Horrible Sing Along Blog

I… did it! :’D Here’s my etsy shop for originals! If you choose to buy artwork from this shop, you’ll be receiving the actual original of any art that I’ve uploaded on tumblr (so not just a print). The listings will be changing constantly as I draw more and decide which artworks to let go of and which to keep, but this is the first line-up! Please have a look around and see if anything tickles your fancy, I’ve got both LoM and Endeavour stuff on there right now.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

nobody cares if you just want to read Twitter with the free wifi. in fact we’re ecstatic you’re there.

don’t be afraid to touch the books. hell, taking them off the shelf and leaving them on shelving carts is one of the main ways the library counts usage and foot traffic, so don’t reshelve them yourself and don’t be afraid of looking at them!

most libraries now allow covered drinks, and many have special areas where you’re allowed to bring something to eat. have your lunch there, it’s quiet!

lovely large tables for crafts or art? they have you covered!

magazines and periodicals so you can read the newest events or pick up a new recipe? check!

you can even just watch a DVD if you have the appropriate portable screen and courtesy headphones.

Our campaign for Land of NOW is LIVE!!!

Help us bring Land of NOW to the world! We would love it if you pledge early and share our campaign with anyone wanting or needing these great books!

This is the newest in a series of children’s books I illustrate, working with author Katie Mulally. I feel really strongly about what the books can teach us (all, not just kids). Please back the project if you are able to and if not, reblog and share the heck of it for me please! Thank you!!! ✨ 

self-doubt

procrastination

sleep deprivation

jealousy

wailing (despair)

notebook lust

Shows how society exploits suicide for their own benefit

One kickass female protagonist that admits she’s done wrong in the end instead of making excuses for her behavior

This movie inspired Mean Girls and Scream Queens

A hell of a dark story line for your typical 80s high school movie 

Winona Ryder’s sarcasm

If a popular student dies, the whole school will notice. If a “nobody” dies, everyone waves it off. 

Three Queen Bitches™ that actually struggle with various conflicts in their lives like every other teenage student

Accurately portrays how grief of a fellow student’s suicide doesn’t feel genuine

Popular female protagonist doesn’t abandon her pre-popularity friendships

Chilling parallels (”Great pate, but I gotta motor if I want to get to that party/funeral”)

Over exaggerated but still relatively accurate caricature of brutal social hierarchy that’s high school

The AESTHETICS and COLOR SYMBOLISM

Adults are generally unhelpful when it comes to high school matters 

Black comedy that’s so humorous and morbid to the point where it’s sickly hilarious 

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Early summer rains<3

You know that kind of experience you just want to transfer up into a drawing so it’s there forever? Got under a warm summer rain with Sasha, so boom! James and Lily:”D

That’s right Harry you go kiddo!! ٩(●ᴗ●)۶

Phew! This one is my longest comic yet: didn’t want to cut out any Harry or Minerva badassery. Also the Carrows are the worst, so this was very satisfying to draw. >:)
