Hi!! I'm Alex, 19 years old. This blog is an amalgam of things that I like online!! Whether it's youtubers, tv shows or stmg else, idk. Background from thatoneleftshoe (on tumblr) and icon made by my friend artisticjabberwork (on tumblr)
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
A much-needed reminder that there is kindness in the world.
Love and kindness. Spread that stuff everywhere!!!
We need this especially after this week.
Evidence that homelessness, hunger, and poverty are only there because we allow it to be. There’s nothing “natural” about it
If you can’t find a place on your blog for Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster, then your blog probably doesn’t deserve such majesty anyway.
It has returned to my dash and I cannot fight the compulsion to reblog…
the patrick lobster appears only once in a thousand years, reblog for good luck
ALWAYS REBLOG LOBSTER STEW
the Pines family (including Soos&Wendy) with by flowers that represent them!! haha, this piece took me forever to finish, but i’m really happy with how it came out!!
and if anyone’s wondering how i chose the flowers, they were all suggestions that i took from people here on tumblr. so any patterns you notice in the flower arrangements is a complete coincidence. but it ended up creating interesting parallels, like Dipper and Ford both having predominantly purple/white flowers, Stan and Mabel both having really colorful flowers and Soos and Wendy both having a lot of yellow/orange flowers.
also notice, each character is interacting with at least one of the flowers. Mabel and Dipper are both holding one (with Dipper having an extra flower crown), Stan and Ford both are holding it indirectly, with Stan pinning it to his suit and Ford using his as a bookmark, and Soos and Wendy both have one tucked behind their ears.
(if you’re curious as to what flowers i used for each character, they’re listed on each piece!! just click the images)
(don’t tag ships, please!!)
Didn’t even know…..
Jesus…..Rip
All beautiful people, and yet we heard nothing about it
A little context on what they were fleeing from:
Eritrea is one of the most repressive countries on earth, regularly referred to as Africa’s North Korea. Reporters Without Borders ranks it 179th among 179 countries when it comes to freedom of expression, lower than North Korea itself.
Barely anyone is allowed a mobile phone. You need a permit to host a dinner party. A permit to travel to an adjacent village. Writing down a song or poem on a piece of paper could see you jailed for producing anti-government propaganda. Even reporters for state-run outlets live in constant fear of arrest.
The UN, in a report last year, concluded the population is kept in “a permanent state of anxiety”.
Extra-judicial killings, torture, enforced disappearances and arbitrary arrest are commonplace. There are at least 10,000 political prisoners in jail to silence political dissent (x)
There is mandatory indefinite military conscription from ages 18 through to 55 (in a country where life expectancy is 61) where 1 in 20 of the population currently serve. The regime keeps the state on a war footing so it can conscript citizens into a form of forced labour, spending more time building homes for officials and officers than defending the country. There is also systematic sexual abuse of women in the military and pregnancies are banned.
One soldier complained about lack of vacation time and was jailed for two years, where he got one meal a day and one shower a month.
He said “Hell is better” than Eritrea (x). Prisoners are regularly and systematically beaten, bound and tortured.
It accounts for less than 0.1 per cent of its continent’s people, yet last year there were more Eritreans arriving in Europe than from any other nation apart from refugees escaping war-torn Syria.
Every month about 5,000 people flee the repressive nation.

@blazingscarlettigrelily said: Umm IDK if you’re taking requests, and IDK what colors are on that Pallet challenge thing you’re doing, but well umm I’d like to see more Reverse Portal sketches if that’s okay. Of either Stan and Ford bonding by either fishing, on a monster hunt, or just for fun, watching the Duchess Approves together ^^
“KIDS! I CAN’T FIND THE REMOTE AND REFUSE TO STAND UP!”
They totally watch old shows together and both enjoy them but of course Ford is never gonna let Stan live it down that he’s cried over ‘The Duchess Approves’
I might draw them fishing/sea monster hunting at a later time but I hope you like this little thing for now!
there is a shooting taking place at pulse nightclub, a popular gay bar/nightclub in orlando, right now. not much is known about the situation but there have been over 40 victims with multiple fatalities, and there are apparently multiple shooters involved (one of whom may have shot himself.) please stay safe if you’re in orlando, and my thoughts go out to everybody involved in this horrific situation and i only hope that they find peace wherever they may go ❤️
from the thread — UPDATE: Mother outside reports her son inside the club texted ‘he’s rounded us up and he’s going to kill us’ #FloridaShooting #Pulse
UPDATE: the shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, and the death toll has risen to 50 dead and 53 wounded. they are in urgent need of blood for the wounded right now. this has been identified as the deadliest mass shooting in US history. please keep the people of orlando in your thoughts and prayers ❤️
