Need to inject some simple happiness into an otherwise bleak reality? Well, the hellhole that is Twitter surprised us this week with some good old fashioned internet wholesomeness. On Monday, Chappell Ellison shared a Tumblr post from cosmictapestry with a photo of a cranky-looking baby vulture wearing a dapper pair of pants. While the trousers were intended to keep the bird from messing with his leg splints, they have made him a bit of a celebrity on Twitter - with the help of Ellison's request that someone draw the sartorially blessed fellow. 

The request, which may or may not have been serious, was fulfilled by many of Twitter's artists and executed with varying degrees of skill. While the thread does boast some impressive and realistic depictions, we're more into the crude MS Paint masterpieces. You can see both ends of the artistly spectrum below, but we highly recommend visiting the thread for more wholesome goodness. You deserve it. 

We wanna give a special thanks to Instagram account Things I Have Drawn, who supplied us with these amazing and horrifying recreations of things that kids have drawn. Go check them out!

We know that roasts involve people literally asking for it, but also...why? Guess some people are just confident enough to not be legitimately and deeply hurt by it, and honestly we're pretty envious of that. This round of Reddit roasts takes the form of insulting sketches (made by SketchyCrab) that highlight the victim's worst features!

You gotta love any meme that features Mr. Rogers, and this trending dank meme is one of our favorites at the moment that's all about trying your best despite being bad at something. In the words of Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try."

This dank meme, known as "Unfinished Horse Drawing" is being used to convey either dissatisfaction with something (looking at you, Game of Thrones season 8), or the act of half-assing something. Either way, we're glad it's making the rounds on the internet!

When you get caught in a glaringly obvious web of lies, the best policy is generally to just own up to it. Nobody's falling for your BS anyway so it's probably best to not make yourself look even more stupid.

This "tattoo artist" blatantly stole a bunch of their designs from other artists off of Google and then continued to play dumb after being called out.

And the worst part? The copied art is definitely not as good as the original!

Many of us grew up admiring Disney princesses like Ariel or Sleeping Beauty as little girls. It's all fine until you get older and realize just how those characters majorly play into the unrealistic beauty and behavior standards for young girls. Luckily that's getting better nowadays with newer, more progressive Disney characters like Moana and Elsa. 

Illustrator Andhika Muksin re-imagines classic Disney princesses looking a little more...human, shall we say? We're into it!

To all the creative types out there, we understand your struggle. It's not easy trying to consistently churn out artistic brilliance and still have a sane mind left to give. All of that, plus you constantly have people asking for free labor because what you do is "fun" and it's "for a friend." We all gotta pay the bills, dammit! Friends and "fun" be damned!

Artist Reza Farazmand has been churning out these pastel-colored, deadpan comics for years, and we are so fortunate for it. Here are 50 reasons you should be keeping up with him on his website.

Our favorite dank meme of the year shows no signs of slowing down. 'Unsettled Tom' memes are still poppin' off on social media, so we're happy to report that we've got some more cringetastic memes for you. You're welcome!

The wild and wacky world of Tumblr may not be a porno haven anymore, but we've still got other way to waste our time on the site. These funny tidbits and puzzling posts will keep your brain ticking just a little bit longer. Enjoy!
