love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

#yes i want things to be free like ??? that is not a weird desire #'but but it costs money to keep up' ok and? how is that my problem #the government has plenty of murder dollars they could reallocate a few to make internet services universal if they wanted #also these companies were perfectly capable of supporting themselves before the internet got drowned with ads so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#edit: muting notifs on this post bc new additions have kind of petered out #so no one feel bad about adding something someone else has said‚ it is not bothering me im just trying to keep my #notifs page cleanish lol #also since i saw some people are being redirected to read my tags: firstly hiiiiii this is a special secret message for you:3 #secondly i have learned since making this that the reason they were able to support themselves previously was because #of investors bankrolling everything #and theyre now finally realizing that theyre never going to actually make a profit and arent as willing to invest #however thats just a minor correction and doesnt change my overall point #once again. so many murder dollars #so thats why im just adding it here in the tags rather than making an actual correction #anyways . love yall 💕#origibberish #bigger gibbers

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it

as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)

first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))

a few fav scenes

emotional support cwab

they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.

papery critter.

even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)

and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3

i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.

so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and

several hours later ...

oh

oh man

it's a little bigger than i expected

i have an idea for a character design but what animals are usually associated with medicine??? the most common answer i got was snake, but i also thought of lab rats/mice, rabbits etc

#snake has the longest history with medicine especially since its shown on the rod of asclepius and the myths around venom #i also didnt know this but their shedding skin is referenced as symbols of rebirth and growth while their appearance resembles an #umbilical cord which gives it a really strong connection to health in some cultures.. although if i had to think abt modern medicine and #pharmacies the first thing i think of is white lab mice like pinky and the brain. for some reason i also thought of rabbits #bc of how its used for anti animal testing logos but thats more loose. however i did learn that the jade rabbit is shown to #use a pestle and mortar to create medicine in some stories so that could work...???? but its not as well known i think #i also thought of possums but that was more of an irony thing. same for bats but both are ironically really resistant to disease and act #as carriers. a death symbol like vultures or ravens/crows might work with a plague doctors mask but i feel #like that isnt the vibe im going for. black cat would be interesting considering superstition but im also on the fence abt that #actually what else is associated with medicine?? normally its stuff like pills crosses bandaids syringes etc #doctors coats and gloves.. especially plague doctor masks or medical masks in general but not much else huh #hand sanitizer and tissues.. pill bottles... blue nurse uniforms.. gauze and casts with signed names... hmmmm/.........#nurse dresses..??? sure?? i also see scalpels and knives but thats more for like. horror doctors for scary stories #im going for cute maybe even regular ass doctor vibe. like harvey sdv. or tony tony chopper #yapping

One of my favorite things about being in my early 20s is that I'm starting to understand that I can use things not for their intended purpose. When you're growing up, you get told what an object is and what its intended purpose is, and as a kid/teen, I just accepted all of it at face value. As a young adult it's finally clicking that I can simply do things a different way if it makes me happier. Sure, I was taught that you stand to take a shower, but there's nothing stopping me from just sitting if I don't feel like it, ya know? I might have always had my medication in the kitchen, but if I'm no longer remembering to take it, I can just move it somewhere where I can remember. You don't have to specifically store all food in the kitchen, you can have a little snack cart or snack station in another room.

The downside to finding out the various ways you can use objects is that you develop habits that would probably go on an r/relationships post where everyone says you're a little freak.

#simon says #i just developed a new habit (it's too tmi to put here) and I just know that it's some weird shit #it works and it makes me feel better so I'm gonna keep doing it #but it's some shit that would end up viral where everyone would go 'yo op you should break up with them thats weird' 😔#i was just thinking about this though because every week or so I learn that I can just do what I want #because there's no fucking object use police I can do what I want #i HIGHLY suggest getting into this habit. if you find something annoying or frustrating you can just do it differently #'I hate washing the dishes because my legs hurt from standing for so long' you can bring a chair and sit or you can break it up into chunks #like on the one hand I'm learning this because I have autism and a plethora of other mental disorders #and it's FINALLY clicking that I can self accommodate whenever and however I so please #I'm just sorta learning that if doing something makes me feel better/happy/gets the job done to do that thing #even if it requires using an object in an odd way #hell there's even some little things I've been playing with #for example: my whole life we sorta just lifted blinds only about halfway up #just sorta how we did it ya know #well recently I decided I wanted more natural light in the sunroom/my office so I wouldn't have to turn on the lamp #and I lifted the blinds all the way up to the very top #and honestly?? it fucking rules. the room looks nicer; i get natural light; i can see the forest out back and it's quite calming and nice #like for ages I just never thought about doing that because it just never occurred to me that I could #i just always put blinds about halfway up because that's about how high blinds do in my household #another little one I learned is that I can just... wash my hair #sometimes when I get too depressed or if my body doesn't need a shower but my hair is greasy #I just shove my head under the bathtub facet and wash my hair #it's just a small thing but for years if my hair needed to be washed I would just take a full shower #now I just fix my greasy hair. bc greasy hair is a huge ick for me but sometimes my body is still clean or im too tired to fully shower #like there's nothing stopping me from doing that and it doesn't hurt anyone. it's just a way of bathing that I wasn't taught #but yeah those are some recent examples of me learning I can just... do stuff differently #the free will is kicking in babes and it has decided I love finding ways to use things differently #it's why im doing a bg3 run where I just press loot all no matter what and use whatever I can in odd ways #anyways I might delete this later might not who knows

au where through training for the,,, fuckin skate olympics or whatever alejandro did he realizes how shitty his family is and manages to leave the situation (probably getting disowned,, living off of money won through skate competitions or smth idk) and years later reunites with josé on ridonculous race to try and rekindle a real family relationship

#sorry everyone i thought 'hmm skateboarder alejandro????????' and this was born #actually why havent we done more with that skateboarding fact.#scratch that what could we do w that fact............#new fic guys where alejandro has the shittiest time ever learning to skateboard (i do not skateboard)#this also probably has something to do with me currently watching rr who knows #uhh idk who they would replace....... any of the earlier elimination fodder i guess if you switched the order of some things #a shame rr doesnt have 3 person teams we couldve had all the brothers #actually no. carlos comes down to uhhhh wherever alejandro is for sports or something #< theyre on fantastic terms. however José #this is also also partially an outlet for the family dynamic for all three of them which ive completely made up. in my head.#alejandro does not go on world tour im thinking..... now for total drama dirtbags #i could. i could. josé could compete in world tour #too many ideas. too late at night for this #rambling in the tags again hmmm #kijorambles #total drama #total drama au #< horrifying. i am terrified of putting this on main tags #will delete those later if i become too Fearful

Kaeya most definitely made at least one joke about how bc Addie and Elzer helped keep him alive during Luc’s Adventurous 4yrs Adventures Abroad, he was gonna make himself their problem.

Addie will never forget to bring up he has yet to make good on his threat every time he visits.

#hc; kaeya #Kae: You saved my life. now you’re never gonna get rid of me. I might just stick around & make yall miserable lol #Addie: fucken BET #//Every time he rolls around to the Winery on business after that she’s just Where is the misery you promised Master Kaeya :)#//‘Thought you said we’d never be rid of you :)’ ‘Addie I—‘ ‘You wouldt DARE lie to me would u Master Kaeya? :)’#//Elzer is more low key abt it #//But in a silly way that sounds awful out of context #//Like ‘Y’know; we could always use a little more misery around here. why don’t you stick around longer :)’#//Everybody and Luc stares blankly in disbelief and or confusion; meanwhile Addie’s lurking nearby while Kae’s sweatin bullets #//Just ‘why won’t they let that GO: aaaaAAAAA-‘#//Luc learning abt the bit might make Kae tormenting him at the tavern go down easier #//Like ‘Ah; he’s here to deliver the misery he promised :)’#//Only to regret everything and his life choices(/j) the INSTANT Kae opens his mouth #//Each time he sees him dropping by to clown; he rests a little easier knowing Kae is sticking around; however it goes down #//Has a heckin STRESS every time he decides to Cats Tail instead #hc; diluc #//Sigh; that goes there now hdbdb #//do I need to tag for the dark humor. and if so how #//Anywho back on subject; Kae would crack jokes abt this to exceedingly close ppl like Jean or Varka; too #//He got a MASSIVE lecture from each of them the first and only times he cracked that sort of joke #//Abt how important he in fact rlly IS to them; and misery is the LAST thing he’d EVER give them #//Which hurt him more than them insulting or denouncing him bc NOW he feels guilty & anxious #//Like he feels he inevitably WILL bring them misery; no matter how hard he strives otherwise #//And boy oh BOY would he try to avoid it for them in particular; just as he would Addie and Elzer #//Luc; he’s just being a LIL bit spiteful; LIL bit attention seeking #//Getting attention/keeping him in his life the best way he knows how without worrying Luc will see it as a sign to try & bridge the gap

at church reading the hymn lyrics like "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from translating song lyrics so that i could write genshin fic!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and finally "omg i learned that word from the king's avatar"

#花話 #it's funny bc i Objectively know more cn than the last time i was here seven years ago which is great #bc the last time i learned any cn in a classroom was seven years ago lol #and i think that's probably a combination of Very Much Not Wanting To Lose What Skills I Have +gnshn n similar giving me occasional practice #but yeah of the words i Remember where i learned them it's like 85% gnshn 14% lyric translation n 1% king's avatar lmao #been trying to connect my laptop to the mobile hotspot i have here and Suffering(tm)... pain and agonie #i mentioned this on main but apparently i just Cannot have a line acct for w/e reason #(i suspect it's bc i made an acct in america on my phone number but temp sim card --> diff phone number here)#(and since i didn't expect this i didn't tie the acct to an email --> i am unable to have line)#however my mother and i have graduated past emails and are now just using regular texting to communicate it seems #ANYWAY i get to see the jade cabbage today. i hope. and other things i also hope!!#i was going somewhere w/the line thing OH it's bc on the way home from church my mom saw a sign that said 元氣 and was like 'genki desu!'#it is always kind of a surprise to hear my mom speak jp bc it sounds simultaneously clumsy and full of confidence #she has friends in japan (college roommate + old pen pal + i have no idea she's lived Quite a life i feel) n i once found her old letters #and was kind of surprised bc they were like entirely in jp so obviously she could read n understand a lot #but anyway my mom went on to talk abt how taiwan continues to have significant japanese influence to this day n i was like yes... weebs c':#it's also interesting bc we'll go sightseeing n she'll be like “ye that's from american/jp occupation times but they gave back the land'#'so now it's xyz' n i'll be like. almost 'tails.jpg A Colonialism.'

anyway a different sneaky plan worked out in that i was able to find old listing photos of my dream house and ough..... i need her .....

#she was last sold in 2018 but maybe by the time ive made my millions (through directing or winning the lottery or some other scheme)#she'll be for sale again. we can dream #realizing 2018 was six years ago and not like. 2. thats scary #but anyway i like this house a lot. good kitchen. could be bigger but its workable #built in bookshelves in the huge living room. thats for dvds babey #no pictures of the 2 bedrooms n bathrooms . come on man i need to know what storage space we're working with #very nice little outside pool area thats surrounded by bushes n plants. i like that.#one day ill learn how to swim so my pool will not be redundant #its nice. id love to see a floor plan but alas #this is a different house from that house in palm springs that was furnished to the max with gaudy 70s furniture and decor #that one is really fun. but its also way the hell out in palm springs #this house however is in the hollywood hills. ish . but the great thing about is that its down this private drive #and you cant even see it on google images. very secret i like that . im hidden away from the world #another thing going for this house is a silly little superstition ive inherited from my dad #multiple times in his life hes lived at places where the numbers in the address have added up to his lucky number (day of birth)#where we live now adds up to 13 which explains a lot #but this house the numbers add up to my lucky number. yay #anyway this is all very hypothetical but i have nothing else to do with my time (<- guy that could be doing far more productive things)

#talks #kind of rambling #but I remember when I was young that getting married looked so good #but then I started to put myself in those shoes and being in the spot with everyone looking at me started to fill me with fear #so I put off the idea of being married when I was young #it’s a concept that I thought I had to get over #when I learned that you could sign a paper to get married #the whole wedding idea died in my heart and I never felt such a heavy relief #weddings are cute in my eyes but I will never have one of my own ever #those things suck #a reception however… we’re getting blasted #my friends know I hate weddings haha #they demanded a reception and I agreed #a little party get together and were dressed up nicely getting drunk #now that my dream #there’s nothing going on in my life nor am I getting married LOL #just had to write these down #hope someone can somewhat relate to this #the fact my dad knows I’ll never have a wedding always makes me laugh #thank god the expectation isn’t there #ramble #:P

The similarities between Cirrus and Jing Yuan are so good. I just keep coming back to the idea. Cirrus was disillusioned at first but they were each other's match. I love how they both think and act in similar ways and how they manipulate and play the waiting game. And I adore how in the end Jing Yuan makes a comment about being somewhat envious, as a warrior, of the future generals that will have to face Cirrus again; just like Cirrus longed to face the general.

#I also love that Jing Yuan says the same thing Cirrus repeats over and over‚#that time is in their side and eventually they will always escape and try again and again to defeat the generals to come #And I adore how he sympathises with Cirrus and... consoles them. How he tells them that they are no faint flicker but a good strategist #For a moment I thought Jing Yuan pitied them and then he talked about eternal punishment and imprisonment #The Xianzhou really is terrible when it comes to this #However I adore adore adore that there's perhaps that sympathy seemingly weighting on Jing Yuan still #When he talks about how perhaps he could 'glean some wisdom from the Xianzhou Zhuming' I wonder if he's talking about finding out #a lasting method to imprison and restrain the heliobi (probably this given the context) or if maybe just maybe hopefully #he is thinking of learning more about that sort of... coexistence there also seems to take place in the Zhuming #Wishful thinking perhaps but I think it would be coherent and also fitting of Jing Yuan‚#that mix of play of strategic convenience‚ playing the long game in preparation of the future‚ and... kindness #I just can't shake off the idea that this way of dealing with the heliobi is absolutely wrong and instances such as the opera singer #but even Cirrus and Keralum just keep making me feel that more fervently #Goodness‚ I so wish we could see the Zhuming‚ or learn more about it and their way of living with heliobi #and how that is linked to their craftsmanship. I wish we could see into the future in several Amber eras even #I wish we could see if Jing Yuan will be able to solve this issue. If he'll go down in history #as the general to end the heliobi and Xianzhou conflict for good for the most part #He seemed so understanding and even pitying with Cirrus despite how he had to fulfill his duty; he also talked about fulfilling his promise #And doesn't it seem fitting for Jing Yuan to go down in history with this kind of strategic thoughtful peaceful deeds?#I love him so much and I adore every instance of his writing #I talk too much #Traces #Cirrus #Jing Yuan

2023 reads // twitter thread

Margins and Murmurations

set in a near future after a climate crisis, in an oppressive militarised state somewhere in Europe

A 72yo trans woman and her friend have long since escaped, living in the woods together, until a resistance fighter arrives and they find themselves drawn back into the fight

centres queer and trans characters, sex workers, and the complicated process of activism and survivial

large cast

#Margins and Murmurations #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #I picked this up the MC is aro - though this is only vaguely mentioned in a single line tbh (without the word)#i feel like it could have been a bit clearer however still really liked her! a great MC #a trans woman not concerned with other people’s idea of passing is gr8 #liked the complexities of revolution and community organising and that intercommunity issues are never going away #(ie vegans being like no meat in our safe space and disabled people being like. ok but we'll die tho?)#the writing is a bit rough in places #there’s a lot of worldbuilding told through the characters telling it to each other like……they clearly know this already; and are only sayin #saying it for the reader to learn. awkwardly #some headhopping and I think sometimes more concerned with telling us something that the characters and narrative….#the time travel thing is very much………I feel like you could have taken it out and it wouldn’t have changed anything? other than her descicion #descision making? the end also felt abrupt. I know there are other books in the world so maybe that had something to do with it #but yea it's interesting and i enjoyed it overall!#do check CWs #aromantic books #(kinda. and there's bits of romance with other characters)

on the one hand, thinking about trying to go to grad school terrifies and upsets me, plus it's too late to apply, plus my grades are defs not good enough, plus idk that i could get enough financial aid, plus i'm abt to be 32 with no steps forward in any sort of proper career

on the other hand, i think abt delaying the terrifying future a little bit and takign time to learn more things....... hm.

#it's unrealistic to attempt grad school i'd be better off taking part-time & temp gigs in my field #while working at this store for a while #HOWEVER. what if tho.#i.........so so badly wanna learn more things #my theater teacher today told us he's got a stagecraft class next semester we could sign up for #and i nearly cried bcos i CAN'T bcos i'm GRADUATING. ugh.#should've majored in theater production instead of tv radio. yes i'm rly damn good at editing. but i liked working in the theater shop.....#........but also there was the pandemic. i would not have been able to be in the shop much. alas.#..........i'm gonna graduate and i have none prospects and the tv industry is suffering bcos the big companies are terrible.#what am i doing? what am i doing.#..........i'm having an anxiety attack is what i'm doing. i'm gonna go nap.

Just created a whole story in my head in the span of 20 minutes and cried why is everything I make so fucking sad

#summary: childhood friends. one mistreats the other a lot of the time. so the other friend leaves the toxic one behind #toxic one ends up hating other friend and shows off with all her other friends #time goes by. the other friend is reported missing. they look for her for roughly 2 years before they write her up as dead and close thecase #toxic friend pretends not to care much. but later on feels even more horrible and realises how bad she had treated her friend #no longer toxic. the girl ends up graduating school and working a job. getting a husband. etc #however shes become a people pleaser out of guilt over time. and he is a very shit man whos cheated n all #but she forgave him everytime. and tries to bury her slow hatred of him #sometime later. she finds herself driving 10 hours back to her hometown. and sneaks into the school to look around for memory #at some point. she sees a woman lurking in the trees. and shouts for her not to stalk and come out #the woman not only has butterfly features and looks somewhat opaque. but is also a grown version of her old friend #ofc she freaks. and tries to talk her into going to the police. but her old friend keeps interrupting about going around the school herself #at one point. og girl interrupts her firmly to ask why shes so calm. and her old friend simply replys with a smile that shes dead #from this point on. she makes points about how she wont go until they find her body. only no one is searching anymore #thing is. old friends memory is fading more and more. and she can only remember the few moments before she died #the school. and some friends. like og girl #og girl then finds it in herself to take it up to find her body. as she is the only one whos been able to take notice of her old friend #along this journey. they learn more about eachother and what og girl has learned and become #and then they end up falling in love. but have a very very sad moment about it #'would you let me kiss you?' 'i would. if i could' 'why not?' 'because im dead. silly'#overtime eventually og girl finds old friends body. while seeing old friend play out old memories along the way in #the body she was last seen in alive. playing out memories and talking to people who werent there #ok thats allbc thats way too long and also im so emotional about them when they were born in my mind less then an hour ago #randoms

#srry to be all vent posts and no art but the stress is high rn #i feel a little better now. i forgot how much i love working with the culture collection #i go in when theres no one there and i just spend a few hours listening to podcasts as i move slime from tube to tube #it forces me to do one thing bc once i start i cant stop. i just like it a lot. i havent done for like the last 2 semesters bc we had the #money to pay a student to do it. and at the time i was in the thick of taking photosynthesis measures and it was causing me a lot of pain #and transfering was like the one lab task i liked to do so it felt like i was being punished. i could no longer do the thing most aligned #with my interests. and i just let it go bc in my brain im not allowed to do things that i enjoy. if i enjoy it its not hard enough.#so i just let it go. and let myself be crushed under the weight of things i don't enjoy and now here we r #a little light has returned to me #and its not all bad. i am looking forward to giving a lecture next week. i like communicating info to others and deciding what to talk abt #ill try to make it fun. if i have the time. and im looking forward to my meeting tomorrow morning. everyone ive met with so far does really #cool research. id be happy to wind up anywhere. but if i get into the big scary uk uni then i have to go there bc the project is so perfect #i dont dare get my hopes up. and tho my interview today wasnt the best i learned some really cool things by talking to the guy and im more #prepared moving forward.#however i did agree to make both my sisters sticker sheets for xmas and that is gonna take so much time i might die. so ya kno rip #but like i said. not all bad.#unrelated

I am so tired of the discussions about ai art especially as an artist

Bc BOTH sides are always too extreme

Like

Pro-AI is obvious, people tend to completely disrespect and devalue artists, a lot of them are just NFT shills in different packaging, they seem convinced that AI is equal to human thinking and therefore should be treated the same as a human thought process, and they tend to lean on technicalities and legality instead of harm caused without recognizing that laws do change with the introduction of new technology

Whereas Anti-AI people tend to outright fear-monger and either lie or purposely remain ignorant about the way AI works so they end up taking important, valid concerns and framing them in a way that's outright untrue and doesn't help their case

#for the record my opinions are as follows: AI is a fun tool that can be useful for artists as inspiration #but you should have to OPT-IN to datasets not OPT OUT #they should not be trained on an artists work without their consent #personally i dont necessarily believe they steal art like people say #because technically ai learning works similarly to the human mind #they dont store the image they just scan many and recognize patterns that it then uses to attempt to create something new #so no it doesnt just copy and paste stolen art #HOWEVER #that does not make it okay to use artists work to train it without consent #because there is a huge difference between a human learning and taking inspiration from someone who put their art out there knowing #that could happen and seeing it as a compliment because it means they impacted a human being #and having your art unknowingly fed into an ai (especially when the ai is a PAID SERVICE)#which would not be able to perform its function without the artists whose works were used in the dataset #and in some cases therefore is outrighr profiting off of your hard work #and in other cases is specifically taking your hard work and using it to create something that can produce something #that took you years to hone your skills in a faster and oftentimes cheaper way #which can potentially devalue your worth and i dont kust mean money-wise #and one huge problem being that this technology is so new that nobody knows what to do because it's technically legal #and current laws dont account for this kind of thing and people tend to go for 'is this legal' rather than 'is this hurting anyone' despite #the fact that laws can and do change especially as technology is introduced
