“Do you know what I actually find weird? That I’ve never seen you cry. Not even once.”
Drawing of sweet girl Melora. Kind of a coloring practice, kind of a test to get myself used to her proportions a little bit further. I’m trying to figure out how to draw the darn rosary because there’s NO way I’m animating all those beads.
“The last day at the parish”
Local bitter ass motherfucker looks down at his exgirlfriend and refuses to further knowledge her existence, not knowing this was going to be the last time they saw each other alive.
“14 and a half years old”
Augusto and Melora freshly into 8th grade.
Other women are not your enemies. We’re sisters. We must take care of each other despite our differences.
(TERFs fuck off btw. This post is not for you.)
The awareness ribbons represent each of their most prominent illnesses. Not saying which of them they are, but you can kind of give yourself an idea of which could they be.
Noamí and Melora are disabled teens. We should treat young disabled people with more dignity. Never be ashamed of being disabled.
Art about Melora and her cousin Fatima. They’re heading back home together, since Melora is on a visit to the State of Mexico. They’re not particularly close, but Melora is the only one who reacts with genuine concern and disbelief to her cousin’s problems with her classmates.
Melora looks older than Fatima in this drawing because there’s like two years between each other (they’re one school year apart because birthdays are a weird thing) and they’re still molting their fledgeling feathers for their juvenile ones. Melora has molted waaay more feathers for obvious reasons, so that’s that.
“I don’t need to smoke, the smoke is dark and suffocating enough inside my head”.
Other unspecified characters of Melora’s story. A Kosovo longcrower rooster, a slate turkey, another mourning dove and a loggerhead shrike. Two best friends, a mother and a principal.
Let me cook,,, olease,, school, let me cook
Part two of the November comic!!
14/15 year old Melora. School, casual and religious outfit.
Another banger from /r/stupiddovenests - at least the tag is appropriate this time
MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: THE FINALE: MOURNING DOVE vs. AMERICAN CROW.
these two combatants need no introduction. they've left a trail of destruction in their wake leading up to this. 32 birds, whittled down to just two.
THE MOURNING DOVE. embodiment of elegance and tranquility. its subtle beauty is a sight to behold. a voice that enchants the soul. a creature of resilience and adaptability. this is truly the peoples' bird.
THE AMERICAN CROW. a competitor that will leave you in awe with its enigmatic presence. it possesses unmatched intelligence, able to solve complex puzzles and exhibit remarkable problem-solving skills. and, of course, the caw. an unbeatable opponent.
