i still don’t understand why recovery isn’t romanticized more. getting better after being at your lowest point? working hard and doing what it takes to feel safe again? knowing that occasional dips aren’t the end of the world? changing yourself and ridding your life of toxic behavior/people? i’m sorry that sounds better than any edgy miserable story i’ve ever heard.
gwhshhghg these came at nearly the same time and they’re both lovely and thANK YOU I miss drawing these sappy sinister ducks as well and I’m very glad if I’ve encouraged a nice thing for you guys? I love them. I love you. I love that you love them. aaa
cardinailed0 asked: Sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to say something about that technique you used to be able to draw with your left hand — it's working for me so far!! I might finally be able to draw with both hands to balance the pressure- thank you so much!!! I love you and your art and it inspires me a lot! Have a nice day ♡
that’s so awesome! remember to take it steady though- take breaks frequently and do stretches! doesn’t matter if that hand doesn’t get tendonitis usually, you’re putting it under more strain than normal and it’s no good if you wind up with neither hand able to do anything! same to anyone out there who’s trying to learn to be ambidextrous- be patient, be forgiving to yourself and your body, and keep going!
after all is said and done, I guess waking up early on christmas morning is still a thing for me, haha! So I thought I’d put some of that crazy energy to good use – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Oswald is one year older than Mickey, making his debut in 1927 (he is not, however, Disney’s oldest reoccurring character, that title goes to Pete, surprisingly, who predates both Oswald and Mickey)
Oswald has made a handful of cameos since he appeared in the Epic Mickey Games. He pops up for a second in “Get a Horse!” and is the butt of a rather mean gag in the Mickey Mouse Short “Canned”
If you’re familiar with Epic Mickey, you know Oswald’s girl is Ortensia. However, this was not originally her name. Her name was Sadie, but the game developers wanted to give her an “O” name to match Oswald (like Mickey and Minnie, and Donald and Daisy) and it’s stuck ever since
Speaking of Oswald’s girlfriend, Ortensia was not his first. In the older Oswald shorts, he’s infatuated with a female rabbit named Fanny (I like to think Oswald had his 420 children with her, but when he hooked up with Ortensia, she adopted all of them)
Oh, Oswald has 420 Bunny children.
Charles Muntz, the antagonist of the Pixar film Up, isnamed after Charles Mintz, the person responsible for taking Oswald and several of Walt’s animators away after a contract dispute in 1928
Out of the 27 Oswald cartoons made by Disney and Iwerks, 13 are available in the Walt Disney Treasures collection, 2 are available in Walt Disney Signature Blu-rays as bonus features, 5 are found but are not currently available to the public, and 6 are still lost.
After Oswald went to Universal, he got several voice actors, including Mickey Rooney, June Foray, and Mel Blanc. Currently, he’s voiced by veteran voice actor Frank Welker (known for voicing Fred from Scooby Doo among others)
In order for Disney to get the rights to Oswald from Universal, the company traded a sportscaster from ABC
In the Disney Parks, Oswald has a service station on Buena Vista Street in California Adventure
And that’s all I got. I love this bunny, and I wish he got more credit for laying the groundwork for Mickey. Without him, I don’t think Mickey would be as popular as he is today.
