Six of Wands - sometimes you have to crown yourself for your achievements. celebrate this moment and the journey that’s brought you to it!

pastures and intermediaries - are you being called to teach, or be taught?

uhhhh so I learned something you can do in City Trial (Kirby Air Riders) after you’ve completed the story mode at least once

also, please enjoy these related memes I foraged
two panels of Sabrina Carpenter performing in martial arts attire. the top one says “minimum wage” and the bottom one says “yah!” since there is a whip sound effect in her song “Nobody’s Son.” grainy screenshot of John Linnell performing on live TV in a suit and tie, captioned “that boy is corrupt.”

I also adore this genre of character design
Subrosians from Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. Just a guy in a green cloak with big expressive glowing eyes. Magolor from Kirby—a spherical guy wrapped up in cloth, with glowing eyes. a Jawa from Star Wars—all brown cloak, hood, gun, and ominous glowing eyes. the playable character from Journey—red cloak, scarf with symbols, and glowing eyes under a headscarf-hood.

a grey and white cat annoyed that I woke him up from his nap on the sun-lit stairs.

I liked how my hair looked, so I had to draw it hehe #art
a digital self-portrait of the artist that he spent way too long shading. It’s a monochromatic, mostly-line drawing, sort of realistic but also a bit stylized, with some of the areas emphasized with darker or thicker lines.

Nine of Horns (Cups) - I’m reading this as an acknowledgement that “yes, it *is* an ‘almost there’ kind of time, isn’t it? Enjoy!” 😅
Nine of Horns card - Linocut caribou dripping at a riverside, while geese fly overhead. NINE OF HORNS-FULFILLMENT Just as the Ace of Horns showed us a joyous beginning, so this last single digit depicts the happiness and satisfaction of fulfilling a project, meeting a goal, or developing a relationship. "The hard part is over," Emi writes, and now is the time to be happy with what you've done. Allow yourself to feel not just joyous or satisfied but fulfilled. The card may indicate a promise kept, or a commitment fulfilled.

Eight of Horns (Cups) - change and growth, but maybe also resistance to its uncomfortable newness
8 of Horns card - a linocut scene of a dragonfly emerging out of a long winding river from its former nymph form. EIGHT OF HORNS-DEPARTURE Moving on in some way. Leaving behind what is comfortable and real to discover new things or to follow a goal. An actual journey. A move into the unknown, or possibly a desire to find out what more there can be in a life that may have become too comfortable or too restricted.

Two of Arrows (Swords) - finding the balance and in-between calm of equal and opposite forces (whether those are within, external, or both)
Two of Arrows card - a linocut scene depicting a cougar and grey wolf, connected by a tied cloth blindfolding them both, each with an arrow in their side. TWO OF ARROWS-ARMISTICE A moment of calm and peace in a tense situation. This can be literally between two adversaries, or finding peace in yourself during great tension. How the people (or person) uses this moment is up to them. Will they go back to fighting, or will they build upon the "Armistice?" For an individual, will she or he go back to struggling with life, or find a way to tackle problems in a less stressful way?

Ash in front of a UU sanctuary! He’s a white person with glasses, short hair, and a cream-colored sweater polo with vertical rainbow stripes. The building has light tan brick and above the doors there is a Black Lives Matter banner, a rainbow-flame chalice flag, and a progress Pride and intersex flag flying.

wasn’t matching the reference enough for my liking, so we’re makin a new one (aluminum foil and masking tape, might layer it over with butcher paper for texture before painting ?)
an aluminum foil stem sprouts out of the cardboard pumpkin mask, curling up into the air then off to the side. the stem has been wrapped around and smoothed over with masking tape.
