week one of @shepscapades hermit character design challenge! thank you for hosting this lovely event

So... I was rewatching Inside out 2 and obviously there were so many things we can relate to, and so many details that really get down into it, but here's my favorite detail if anyone wants to hear it. And I'm gonna ramble about it so get ready- HERE WE GO

In the first Inside out, we can see that Riley's emotions are basically making her choices, like joy wanting her to be happy all the time and hardly letting the other emotions do anything.

In my opinion, this is like letting your emotions take over your choices and what you're doing instead of thinking it through with your brain (I dunno if that really makes any sense)

Like, you know how some people go by their emotions instead of thinking it through? Like some people let their emotions take over and thinking about it logically is just thrown out the window.

I don't know if that's one of the many things the movie was trying to put out, that's just my thoughts. But it makes sense since she still was just a kid, and kids don't really go by thinking about their situations logically and basically go by what their feeling.

And I'm not saying that having yourself being restricted to feel anything is good idea, obviously we should feel. But we shouldn't go by what we're feeling all the time, we should think things over before our emotions get the best of us.

And then comes Inside out 2! We see a much older Riley, and what I absolutely LOVE is these scenes when Joy says to anxiety (and herself too) that "We don't choose who Riley is."

And when Riley calms down, Riley WANTS to feel Joy. Like, she's older, and she doesn't let her emotions control her ALL the time. That's where her logical thinking comes in. Then Sadness points out saying "Joy, Riley wants you." NOW she brings in what she's feeling.

I LOVE that detail with my heart, like it's saying her emotions don't control her, but they're still a part of her. Like logical thinking mixed in with her emotions.

And yeah! I don't really know if that was something meant to be, it was just something I noticed from both movies. And you made it to the end of my lil ramble!

There is not enough love for smooth/standard in this world. Rhythm/latin get so much of the love bc they’re energetic and like sexy or whatever but smooth is just as energetic, it’s graceful and got so much volume, it’s fast and powerful and flirtatious, it’s the push and pull and story of two people, and standard is beautiful too, it’s all connection and dimension and clean lines, it is history and art and science, it’s slow control and quick strength, and both of them are breath, sweat, the ache in your heels and your knees, the burning in you shoulders and back, the performance and the lights, the costume, the floor, the connection between you and the music and your partner and everyone watching.

Hi, wanted to know if ur doing well xxxx

Hi!

Omg, that question took me out, I haven't been asked that in a long time.

I'm doing well, some days better than others, some days I feel like crying myself to sleep and some days I'm a blooming ray of sunshine. But that's life, plus I'm working on a very very very important college thing.

Thank you for asking and worrying, I really appreciate it ❤️🥺 I hope you're doing well, and if you ever need someone to talk to, my inbox are open for everybody ❤️

I feel so fucking bad for Misty having to talk your teaching literally off a cliff is so fucking traumatizing on its own but she also watched her best friend fall off that cliff. That very same cliff and it was, objectively, her fault. When she’s yelling for Ben and threatening to ruin his image after he dies she’s desperate desperate and when she yells out “I can’t have more blood on my hands!” It’s not just about Crystle. She broke the receiver and knows this all could have been avoided but she’s just seeping with regret. No wonder she goes to such extremes as murder and snorting her friends cocaine, she’s willing to do anything to keep the rest of her friends alive. She believes the rest of their blood is on her hands after all

I keep forgetting how many people die in death note like- it's written very well! (apart from the misogyny) but I hate it when basically every character you have even a chance of liking dies. this is my problem with things like jjk etc (haven't seen any of the deaths yet so idk how well they do it) but when it feels like you're just picking the most popular characters to kill off to get a reaction? it's cheap and also it's sad!!

and oh GOD when tragedy is written well I love it but it's harder to love when you loved the people whom that tragedy befalls

anyway this is why I have a dn oc, so I have an excuse to write an entire happily ever after au. (if you guys are interested in her I'd love to talk more about her)

I think you guys can tell from my writing I'm more of a fluff person than angst... I dunno.. I just guess I like feeling happy (how silly of me)

I'm at a point where if you send me "design + muse name" I will give you a full on break down of my OCS design down to fucking skin tone. I want to ramble about how much needless thought I put into a character's creation. The only reason I draw is because I like the designing process of a character.

Am I good at it? No, but I am constantly trying to learn about character design so I can improve.

I can finally start buying pc parts next week or so I’m so excited. I also have to buy a new desk cos I moved into my apartment and didn’t buy one yet 🤦… think I’m going for an all black look with a wooden desk (the white aesthetic is tempting but my desk back home is already like that soo we have to switch things up)

[zorocomunista]

okay so love the idea of the narrator also being scripted but its so hard to do it fanfiction! if youre narrating, you have a narrator! it might even be the narrator himself (love fanfics that the narrator is the narrator and never get out of character)

so i was thinking, okay, how do we get the narrator and stanley together without a narrator? show dont tell! movies, animation! maybe thats why sad-ist clock 0ut series is so juicy, it scratches that part of my brain that was itchy

Breaking Toji into the perfect sub...

He's being bratty and disobedient yet if you touch him just right you'll have him squirming and begging for more. Of course, he'll try cursing and degrading you to the best of his abilities, but for some reason he can't stop his body from twitching when you give him even the slightest bit of praise. It's because he's a sucker for it. He loves to hear you say he's doing good or that your proud of how still he is for you. He'll never admit it though. He's already lost enough pride agreeing to try out being a sub, and even liking it a bit. But when your done with him, there should be no pride left.

When I was a kid, we moved into a house that had a huge lilac tree out front. It was mostly rotten, and it needed to be taken down before it fell. It took a while, but eventually, it was gone.

Mostly. A couple years later, little lilac babies popped out of the ground in its place. My mom was determined to get rid of them, because she'd planted a beautiful flower garden there, and the lilac trees would overshadow and kill the whole garden. I insisted on saving at least a few saplings. She said fine, but I had to dig them out and put them in pots myself.

So, I did. I spent days digging little lilac bushes out of the ground and putting them into pots. Some couldn't be saved, but some could. When all was said and done, I had five brand-new lilac saplings. Seven or eight years old, and it was my absolute pride and joy.

Three died due to sun scorching, severe drought that no amount of watering could save, and perhaps just being moved from their place in the ground. But two survived, and I was awfully proud of them! I'd go out and talk to them every single day. I watered them by hand and made sure they were fertilized properly. I learned all about their favored environments, and I was determined to make sure they lived.

One of my mom's friends saw what I was doing with the lilacs. She asked if she could have one to put in her backyard, and I agreed on the condition that she take very, very good care of it.

It's now fucking enormous. I'm talking ten feet tall and bursting with beautiful purple flowers every spring. My mom still gets updates each year as they start to bloom, which she forwards to me. And all I can think is, "That's my friend! Thriving some twenty years on, there it is."

The other tree nearly died, too. It lived in a pot for far, far too long. I wanted to plant it somewhere in my parents' yard, but my mom was reluctant. Eventually, we agreed to put it in the far back garden. It grew okay for many years, despite the shade, but in all these years, it's never bloomed.

Last year, the massive tree casting massive shadows over the lilac and the garden cracked in half and fell. It tumbled into the garden, crushing part of the nearby shed and destroying a few plants beneath it.

It missed my lilac by inches.

The clean-up is long done. The rest of the tree has been cut down, and my lilac has full sunlight for the first time in fifteen years. It won't bloom this year, I know. But it's got new shoots up. It's taller than ever. I spent half an hour a few weeks ago praising it for surviving all this time, dreaming about its future and telling it how I believe it'll become the tall beauty it's always been meant to be.

I think next year, I'll see flowers.

In case anyone wants to know, this was me a little more than five years ago..... before everything was uprooted mentally and physically. Before I met people who changed my life, some of it was great.... some not so much. Before I traveled the lower 48 to find an affirming and safe home for myself.

Now I am 30, almost 31, and trying to do better for myself after my mental health faltered many times. I'm trying to do better for myself after I crawled out of the wreckage that was failed friendships. Yes, I have people in my life who truly care for me no matter what, but I need to show up for myself.

maceration process for the raccoon skull is coming out good 👍 leaving the sweetie in some peroxide solution for optimal results. also it has a bump under its skull, wonder what it was from?
