TORPEDO  Handmade Collage By @michelinedesbois

Inktober #04 – Underwater Using the Inktober to try out some things, today a little otter *^*

everybody says thank you legends of tomorrow for this scene

@kateparfet

everything in the meat route is just.. so disappointing. even the parts i was looking forward to (davekat, calliroxy, rosemary, rose, jade, john being happy) ended up either being debased or tainted. i couldnt enjoy davekat without dirk looming over inserting in commentary and basically trying to force dave to kiss karkat. and then after that karkat was being a dickbag and they acted like everything was solved. calliope and roxy are nb and in love which is great! but then that got tainted with the misgendering and dirk just disregarding both of them, as if he never really cared about roxy, his (pre epilogue) BEST FRIEND and it hurts! jade is nothing but a plot vessel once more and rose is nullified and rendered weak while kanaya realized she was manipulated and is grieving over losing her wife. john was never happy and in his one moment of non-sadness he dies and terezi just… is there. shes deemed unimportant and given up. 

i truly believe that things wouldve been better without the epilogue. even with the fandom becoming smaller at least we had out own space to share content and be happy with the creation of relationships, of mending familial bonds, of binding together arcs. but all of that is taken and either made a joke about or thrown away amongst a sprinkle of oocness and joyful bitter acerbity. there may have been some good parts but lets be real its a 1:5 ratio of good scenes to either awful or tainted scenes and im willing to neglect this entire update to lie back and make a happy ending where fiction can be lent some joy

Proverbs/sayings

Il faut se méfier de l’eau qui dort (beware of sleeping waters) : means that the quiet ones can turn out to be the worst and that you shouldn’t assume what they’re really like (it’s pretty negative)

Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre : All things come to those who wait (à point means at just the right time)

Un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu l’auras (a ‘here you go’ is better than two ‘you’ll have it’) : A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush (tbvh I prefer the French way of saying it, it’s just a bit clearer lol)

Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir (preventing is better than healing) : better safe than sorry

[Il ne faut pas] mettre tous ses oeufs dans le même panier : you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket

[Il ne faut pas] mettre la charrue avant les boeufs (one shouldn’t put the plow before the steers) : you shouldn’t put the cart before the horse

Mieux vaut être seul que mal accompagné : it’s better to be alone than in bad company

Les bons comptes font les bons amis (good reckonings make good friends) : a debt paid is a friend kept; short reckonings make long friends (you should have a healthy financial relationship with your friends if you want to stay on good terms)

Paris ne s’est pas fait en un jour (Paris wasn’t built in one day) : French version of ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ (we still use the Rome version from time to time)

Tel père, tel fils/telle mère, telle fille : like father, like son/like mother, like daughter, etc. (obv ‘tel père telle fille’ and ‘telle mère, tel fils’ work too)

C’est la goutte d’eau qui fait déborder le vase (it’s the water drop that makes the vase overflow) : it’s the final straw

C’est la cerise sur le gâteau (it’s the cherry on the cake) : it’s the icing on the cake

Il n’y a que la vérité qui blesse : only the truth hurts

Tibia was and always will be a joke-OC, but I thought it’d be fun to draw her again now that the new MSA video is out. XD

Pour une fois, l’oiseau ne s’effarouche pas.

Il faut dire qu’il est très occupé à observer le fond de l’eau.

L’habilité est étonnante. 

Comme le chat, juste avant de lancer son harpon, on a la sensation qu’il se tapit.

But to be honest, I would totally buy those mugs
