When someone asks me “how’s life” and this is literally how life’s been feeling lately:

Exactly; I think the problem lies with streaming more than shows themselves. Countdown has been in the top10 worldwide since it first aired yet it still gets cancelled. It’s not even about numbers anymore sigh

Adding to this I’m SO glad this show has such a strong fandom. at least there are still edits, pics and fanfics out there to keep us up 😞

Anyway, screw you Prime Video for throwing the show away 👌🏻

-to shows / movies as a way to get through life this is such a tough thing for me to do.

Is it niche? Cliche? Idk and honestly idc. Countdown got me through lots of chaos and i actually took Mark Meachum as a FC for one of my OC. I’ll forever hold this show close to my heart ♥️

When someone asks me why I’ve never been fan of watching series as it airs, I’ll just cite Countdown from now on.

Top 10 for 3 months with good numbers on streaming, ended on a massive cliffhanger yet it gets cancelled.

I’ll have to move on from that frustration and as someone who hangs on-

Taking up a part time job to save up for TFN and already having issues with schedules and paychecks after a week was NOT on my bingo card this year.

I’m tired, man, can I not get fucked for once.

Now watching

Watched for one actor, stayed for the plot that got me hooked up in 2 episodes. Pretty basic show but just like Strike Back, it gets me through the week 👌🏻

Very proud of the progress so far and I’ve managed to gain over a kilo.
Still on the lookout for a job and I won’t lie, I’m slowly giving up on the creative field and reconsidering pretty much everything.

Lots on my brain, Strike Back’s become a comfort show and just trying to survive overall

Creatively burnt out once again; I’m saving what little left I have to work hard on TFN atm

But I’ve also fully focused on putting up weight and muscle mass as health issues were slowly starting to arise. New food consumption, intense bootcamp workout every day and shots of natural proteins

Back home after a wonderful TFN. It's always hard to put into words the way this event makes me feel especially when it comes to how grateful I am to be able to contribute to it all year round.

Thank you to everyone who participated, had a chat, attended... Here's to next year!

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

How does Pinterest see you?

Not always the first pic cuz of the overflowing AI sh*t. Ugh. It’s tiring but at least this is on point

Forgot to post this here; quick animation I made based on a meme rolling around on Twitter.

My creativity rn is at an all time low so I put together all sketches I did of Skylar. She’s so comforting to write with her b*tchy attitude it feels like a lil relief for my brain

I unfortunately cannot share any pics or vids recorded within the center, so I can only share my experience through text.

Many of the team members look up to David Attenborough so in the words of our mutual influence: “if we take care of nature, nature will take care of us.” ♥️

After my recent obsession I reached out to the LPO and was accepted into their volunteering team.

In just 3 days, I was able to care for swifts, young crows and pigeons, kestrels,… the team is lovely and I am entrusted with so much in so little time.

Picture of the building housing the bird rehabilitation center.
The LPO is the official Belgian bird protection association and I’m so grateful to be caring for so many birds and making a small difference in a declining world.

Happy to announce I’ve been accepted into the summer internship program at the LPO, the official Belgian bird rehabilitation center in Brussels.

Bout to save and care for as many birds as I can 💪🏻

To tie her in to the 07 events; during the dt LA battle, she’ll get heavily injured, resulting in the loss of her arm. While tragic, that event will allow for Karmela to eventually break the ice with her and for the Autobots to offer their technology for her prosthetic arm

Maybe not the best time to introduce a soldier OC, but here’s Skylar Reid, a 5 foot tall pile of “I don’t give a fuck”, and my bestie’s human OC’s biggest headache.

It’s literally all I’ve been drawing lately idk why she feels so comforting 😭
