do you ever see someone in some quiet intimate moment and suddenly love them so desperately you feel like you’re dying
I love seeing grown humans setting about little creative tasks out of boredom and then looking quietly pleased with themselves, like maybe a middle-aged woman on her train home from work manages to make a tower out of empty coffee creamers and gazes at it proudly for a few seconds.
I love seeing other people make the overblown OOPS I FORGOT SOMETHING performance for no-one that most of us do when we have to turn around in the middle of the pavement.
I love seeing stony-faced people in queues unable to contain a smile when a baby looking over its mother’s shoulder in front of them locks eyes and does that astonished stare.
- when someone is standing in line and they don’t quite dance to the music playing, but you can SEE their head bop and them mouthing the words
- when someone thinks no one’s paying attention and they sing-talk themselves thru a task
- when they laugh or try to hide a laugh when looking at their phone
- when someone does the thing where they enter another space (such as a supermarket aisle) striding with total purpose, then suddenly forget what they’re doing/looking for, and stop there looking blank for a millisecond while they reboot.
- when people are looking for scissors, in their home or in a store, and they make the scissors gesture with their non-dominant hand as an aid to remind them what they’re doing.
- when automatic social interactions glitch, like when you tell a waiter that you hope he enjoys his food too, or tell the stranger on the phone that you love them.
- the hand gesture people make when they’re thinking at their computer, not typing, and their elbow rests on the table, and they feel the edge of their fingernail with their thumb. This is such a lovely little gesture and to my knowledge I have never seen it in fiction. You’d think it would come up all the time in fic.
- when you’re sharing an experience with a complete stranger (like watching a seagull throw up in public, or waiting for a late train) and you make eye contact, and some comment to each other, and then you guys are, like, ALLIES now. Like you would willingly ride to war to save them. You can’t make eye contact again, but you are very aware of them.
- just evidence of other people’s rich, baffling and complex inner lives.
-When standing in line at a roadside store, a small group chats and laughs. And y'know they’re sharing a special moment.
-When two friends recognize in a random place and before hugging, they say the most insulting thing ever to each other.
-When someone is telling an experience and laughs to themselves ‘cause they remembered something funny that happened to them and tells it so that everyone can laugh with they.
I love that.
“ohh I’ll just hand-draw the stencil, cutting out all the little shapes won’t be thaaat bad” dude I think this clone trooper wants to give me carpal tunnel and I haven’t even pulled out the exactoknife yet
I almost feel bad that I’m going to cut him out, he ended up perfectly centered and he looks pretty as a drawing. Unfortunately his fate is to be affixed to a turmeric-seasoned piece of paper & blasted by UV rays for a few days
I literally should have just used my vinyl plotter.

I started drawing on Instagram and moved here a few years ago. And while I like posting on Tumblr a lot better, I do wish I could post to music on Tumblr like you can on Instagram. Solely cause there have been some instances where I feel like music could enhance the post or when a song has inspired a piece. Like right now, Ashanti’s lines in Always On Time by Ja Rule are just sooooo Echo like you don’t get it. I want to draw something solely off those lyrics.
