MISS CONGENIALITY (2000) Dir. Donald Petrie

You know, I always say things like “I hate people” but I try to have some empathy and to retain some optimism, but today is one of those days where my empathy and optimism have betrayed me

arcane aesthetic-like artists

Alphonse Mucha - arguably the most obvious influence with art nouveau, if you’ve seen fanart of characters in elaborate nature-themes frames that was his whole shtick

(though interestingly he considered his most important work the Slav Cycle, twenty massive paintings—i’m talking dimensions from thirteen to twenty six feet—that i have to mention because i had the pleasure of actually seeing a couple in person)

J. C. Leyendecker - couple descending staircase and couple dancing are frequently used reference images and rightfully so, he has a more grounded style than mucha but it’s still rich with detail

Erté - lots of stylization but leaning towards 1920s aesthetics and bolder colors and contrasts

(i will endeavor to add more later but right now i’m very tired so i’ll try to go sleep)

I have found a new mysterious scratch on my knee after eating outside for lunch today. What is it from? I know not, but at least I got to eat tacos outside in the sun.

im cooking

I am so conflicted bc now that I’m happily single again there are SO MANY THINGS that I want to do?????? I want to play about 35 different games, paint EVERYTHING, learn a new language, go to the gym and become even HOTTER, do more embroidery, FUCK IT I might even go to a rock climbing gym???? The world is my oyster but nooooooo I have to take it one day at a time 😫 I just want to do everything now, don’t make me work just let me do what I want

Update - they got first dibs on their favorite puppy!! His name is going to be Oakley 🥹 I told them I’m going to be on the look out for dog toys that look like sunglasses lol

Dear readers (aka just pookie for now)

My sister just facetimed me out of the blue to tell me to not tell anyone in the family but she and her bf are going to pick up a puppy in a few weeks. I thanked her for sharing the fun news and she goes "thank you for being someone that i want to share good news with". Chat. I'm gonna cry.

I decided that I want to get rid of my @/dobe account for personal use bc it’s SO expensive 😭 I got a free trial for clip studio paint though and I’ve been working on my first fully csp piece and it’s actually going SO well. I’m gonna wait until the 3mth trial is over so I don’t have to pay for it just yet, but I’m definitely committing to this
