Sixteen Somethings from a Sarcastic Year // 2020 wrap-up

Sixteen Somethings from a Sarcastic Year // 2020 wrap-up

I recognize that no one cares, and thus I will forego the anticipated jokes about hindsight being 2020 and WWIII. Friends, we're alive. And despite the fact that the world's imminent implosion is beginning to look less like a joke and more like reality, I'd just like to say that neither rain, shine, nor communism [...]

GUYS. IT’S 2019. THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING. I’M NOT PREPARED. *passes out* Seeing as this is the first post of 2019 (mmm, such prestige), I guess this is the moment where I scrape together something meaningful I learned in 2018, accented with pictures no one cares about and a teary-eyed epilogue of cliché sentimentalism about [...]

Hindsight, Foresight, and a whole lot of 2018 Glitter

Every year, we always go through this routine of sappiness and sentimentalism, and every year, it's just as weird. I'm feeling slightly speechless as I type out the number 2018. Guys. It's 2018. I might actually slip a tear. 2017 has been a whirlwind, let me tell you, and I honestly don't remember most of [...]

Hey, You!

–I’M SARAH–

Oddball sarcasm enthusiast, INTJ, and Christian author/artist combo. I’m a paradox in human form, a purveyor of caustic wit, a reluctant people-lover, and an idealistic cynic who sees the world through cracks in rose-colored glasses.

I also have a tendency to fry people’s minds. Read on at your own peril.

June/July felt like the water balloon of chaos I’ve been blithely tossing around all year finally burst on my head. Everything that could POSSIBLY happen has happened, not least being I turned 21 and am now expected to somehow Know What I’m Doing. (Ha.) A few summer highlights include:
Old art, but still relevant. Happy Independence Day!
Book poetry, made from a damaged copy of the Magician’s Nephew.
By some miracle, our lovely editor didn’t make me take out the part where I refer to Tolkien’s literary masterpieces as “nifty stuff,” and I’m both astonished and grateful for this burst of generosity. Behold, link in bio.
Reasons you should read The Wolves of Willoughby Chase:
Mini paintings for the win.
I had a cool librarian moment a few weeks ago.
A portrait/lighting study. I love the soft, glowing warmth of this picture.
When asked why I write, I'm never quite sure how to answer. I have a lot of reasons. For instance, when I was eight, I beat my older siblings in a spelling bee, and the desire to continue flaunting my vocabular superiority over them became an ingrained personality trait.
