every time I mention Ace Attorney around my (defense lawyer) father, he asks if I’ll be going to law school now

the best bit was me telling him that if I did that, I would be fulfilling the Phoenix Wright prophecy because I’d be dropping my art degree to pursue law

#doctorsiren #not art #siren speaks #ace attorney #I go to the same college that he went to law school at and the view from my dorm is literally the law school #see if I wasn’t trying to be an artist #I *would* be going into law or criminology #I did mock trial all throughout high school #went to state for courtroom art all 4 years #i feel like Phoenix defo would have done courtroom art for mock trial when he was in high school #I’m just projecting because I know how the California Mock Trial Association works (I’m from California)#it’s pretty interesting to me that it took me until after my freshman year in COLLEGE to get into AA #when I did law stuff all throughout high school #maybe it was better than I didn’t get into back then HAHA #I feel like I can appreciate it more as an 18/19 year old sophomore in college than I could’ve as an 13/14 year old freshman in high school #also I made a joke that if I don’t get into my program this next year when i apply then I’ll go to law school instead haha

greatest apologies to every adult at my school for my inability to remember to schedule emails and thus sending emails at ~1 am

#this goes out to the assistant head of the upper school #i'm sorry for emailing you at like 12 40 am #however i do NOT apologize to my speech teacher and media arts teachers #like they know i'm like this #also sorry to the associate head of school for my deranged email today #also sorry to my history teacher for saying “yada yada yada” in the recent assignment #and my latin teacher for... idk actually #our homework isnt graded in latin so i think me calling medusa lesbian coded should be allowed #i also called acrisius the “weirdo 3000 mobile”#in the name of my lord and savior the sequel nobody wanted #oh i also once sent my speech teacher an email about how i wanted a table #school #emails #emailing #prep school #private school #college prep school #preparatory school #im kinda like so angus tully coded if you think about it #but like if he lived now

thinking of stupid college au again

#my art #self care is making sure the dude you live with doesn’t go out in public looking a mess because he’s already associated with you #self care is also biting your roommates hand after they randomly grab your face #even if they are wiping away 3 days worth of old eyeliner that you smudged everywhere #both of these actions will have consequences #the consequences being stupid petty arguments #pre war college au #krokstar #if you squint really hard to the point you're closing your eyes

going to make my own version of those "that girl" videos that used to go around on tiktok (which were basically aesthetically-styled disordered eating so far as i could tell tbh) but mine will be me eating stuff like hard-boiled eggs slathered with mustard & enjoying it with a degree of enthusiasm that viewers find off-putting. my "that girl" trait will not be yoga or drinking five gallons of water a day or even having nice hair or clear skin, it will simply be my joie de vivre or however it's spelled

#i used to eat hard boiled eggs w mustard on them all the time in college bc they had them in the vending machines #and they also had packets of mustard #and i forgot my lunch like every day lol #so that became my lunch #it's a humbling experience to eat a wholeass hard boiled egg in public with like. no knife to cut it in half btw. like you just have to #take bites and it's fine but you feel silly and inelegant #it does not help if you are very gender nonconforming at the time but like. aren't trying to be. jfhfhfjgh #<- was really bad at fitting in during college bc i had super short hair and wore men's jeans and sweaters from goodwill #all of which are actually swag things to do btw but like it doesn't feel swag at all if you like. are actually trying to fit in #and are just very bad at it #and genuinely cannot connect the dots on Why Girls Don't Want To Be Your Friend (it CAN'T just be that you're getting read as queer. right?)#(because that would be so messed up if it was because of that.)#[narrator voice: it was because of that]#anyways this is off the rails bc it was supposed to be about eggs and my love of them but #a lot of people say that college is better than high school. and for me it WAS by a lot but it still was really hard in a lot of ways #i felt deeply isolated. i went to an ag school in the middle of a midwest state and studied STEM #in high school i associated with basically only queer art kids (not a huge high school and a lot of us weren't out yet but. y'know.)#and then in college i felt very out of place #and towards the end of college i decided to try and take a stab at looking more traditionally feminine. grew out my hair #got rid of my bangs #it was fine #i definitely noticed that people treated me much nicer once i had long hair and women's clothes that actually fit me #and i was like okay yeah so i guess i just should try to pass as straight then. that seems like it'll be easier #during the pandemic i gave myself bangs again. just a lil bi girl swag yk. and then last august i got my hair cut into a real short bob #and i immediately felt so much more like myself. idk how to explain it. but i was just like not meant to be feminine in that exact way #i'm honestly still pretty feminine presenting overall but #i love the fact that if i wear my hair messy now it looks kinda boyish. and if i style it nicely it looks girly.#i feel like i have options yk. and i still don't think i get read as queer now tbh? though i'm bad at knowing these things #but i don't feel like i'm HIDING anymore #WOW THAT WAS LONG SORRY LMAO

anyway, I read up on how to use a smartphone as a camera for streaming. Once I have enough storage/external harddrives/powerful enough computer, I might even attempt crafting streams where you can watch me sew/knit/crochet?

#it's actually so fun to study how streaming and all the associated technology and methods work #almost feels like i'm back in college learning about all kinds of media and cameras and audiovisual stuff and art etc

fuck it *posts devil chair*

#my art #this was sitting in my drafts. I made this like two years ago for an assignment and it was my first like. sculpture for college #it’s a real chair I own to scale. i do not care for this sculpture I still have it. sometimes I toss it out of my way out of disgust but #I think I’d like it better if I wasn’t still mad abt the professors feedback I got on it. maybe I dont lik it bc of the emotions associated #with it. anyways it’s my once every half year posting spree yipee #I saw this in my drafts and since it’s two years old it’s going out first #sculpture

Preface [Prelude] give back the fathers! give back the mothers! give back the elderly! give back the children! give me back! give back the human beings connected to me! for as long as there are human beings a world of human beings give back peace a peace that will not crumble! ― Sankichi Tōge, Poems of the Atomic Bomb (Genbaku shishū), Translated by Karen Thornber, Winner of the University of Chicago William F.

Photo

[IMAGE ID] Two copies of a digital portrait of an original Dungeons and Dragons character, Alice Loam, done in an imitation of pastels. In the first image, her hair is blonde, and in the second image, her hair is red; otherwise, the portraits are identical. Alice is shown in a full-body view against the trapezoidal corner of a wooden wall, with darker wood flooring underneath her. There is a signature reading “S. Wells 1874” in the bottom right corner.

Alice is a young human woman with light skin, blue eyes and hair in a low, loose bun. She has a sharply angled face and jaw and a small, flat nose. She is wearing a muted purple three-piece suit with a matching bowler hat, along with a pinstriped cream shirt, a blue kerchief tied around her collar, matching blue socks, and brown and cream wing-tip shoes.

Alice is positioned in a casual half-crouch, with her left knee on the floor with her left foot tucked underneath her, and her right foot on the floor with her right knee propped up. Her right elbow rests behind her right knee, with her hand loosely curled in the air, and her left hand is tucked in her pants pocket. She looks slightly to the left with a relaxed smile on her face. [END ID]

“... How much longer do I have to hold this pose for, anyway?”

“I’m almost done. Just need to blend some of the lighter pastels together; got points off my last piece because it ‘lacked sufficient depth.’”

“That doesn’t answer my question.”

“This is my art assignment, not your journalism write-up. But... maybe five minutes?”

“Maybe five minutes?”

“Well, maybe I’ve enjoyed looking at you in a suit all afternoon. Shame to stop now.”

[Laughter] “You’re incorrigible, Shea.”

“And you’re relentless, Alice. Just four more minutes: promise.”

A portrait of @lazynotconfused’s Dungeons and Cowboys character for his birthday! The incredible suit that Matt introduced Alice (as well as her original red hair) in ended up having criminally low “screen time” in the campaign, so we both agreed I should amend that. 😁

#my art #dungeons and dragons #dnd fanart #dungeons and cowboys #alice loam #shea wells #by association!!#i know shea wasn't The Artist of the canaries but..... let me have my college alice/shea portrait of a lady on fire moment #tried a lot of new things in this piece and REALLY ended up liking them

Hhh

#i learned that the college i intend to go to offers an associate in the arts and the desire to take that got a deathgrip on me #but i frankly cant think of a way to make use of that sort of degree in my local economy....#i did want to be an art teacher but i would want to work with older kids since theyre underserved when it comes to art electives...

i need to stop using instagran and just my phone in general but anyway theres this influencer model guy i think is funny i don't follow him but insta wants me to by constantly putting him into my feed. and anyway. someone asked him where he finds time to always be posting and he was like i don't have any hobbies i don't really do anything that's not work related and joked he doesn't look after his mental health but like. literally so dystopian and evil and sad like that he doesn't do stuff outside of his jawb obviously I'm sure he enjoys influencerisms and making his little videos but that's like Work at the same time there's no separation no work life balancé....

#Like i love art but I associate it with college work unforch bc it is my degree which makes it difficult to just separate that n draw 4 fun #But if there's no separation that's like horrible ur life is ur job ur value is ur labour and ur happiness too..

Ep. 59: Life Update #2! Ft. A Nomad’s Life! 🥾

Hey folks! Welcome to Episode 59! ⭐️ We are back in the past! Today we are taking a step back from Food & Reviews, and talking about Life. More specifically: my life. At 29 I consider myself a Nomad. That is, I have a very unique unattached lifestyle. Some of the things I am most thankful for: The amount of freedom: I don’t own a home, and will never “buy” one. I am happy renting and camping…
