Now Iām kinda curious why your tumblr name has a Civet in it but your fursona is a gorilla.
split isn't my main fursona actually! it's my civet, coffee!
i just dont draw her too too often anymore, since i made her when i was a teenager and just kinda drifted away from the design lately, i've only made split like, a year ago but i've been making furry art since i was like 16 so around that time is when i made my username and all that, if i were to restart online i would probably name myself after gorillas but im fine still rocking my civet roots
#ask#fursonas#my enjoyment of apes and monkey and my sweet baby gorillas is actually very new#they were an animal i appreciated and everything but i didnt think about them too much#until last year when i randomly decided to watch some documentaries about them and learn more info and make split#and idk i just grew to really love them teehee#thats why i find it kinda funny when people talk to me like ive loved gorillas n everything since i was a child like they just assume that#like poeple will say to me āi bet you liked tarzan growing up huh? you liked donkey kong when you were younger huh?ā#heehee NO i was totally indifferent to these things before i learn more about real life gorillas#i just have child like wonder and grow new appreciations for things i never considered about our beautiful planet before

useless piece of information: malenia always follows up with a grab after she breaks your guard with a kick. it is possible to roll out the way as your stamina regens fast enough on it's own, but i still thought it was pretty cool that she can do this
#two years later and im still learning new things with this fight#the unalloyed malenia mod has this instant grab that you can't recover from#imagine if she could do that in the base game#personally i would love it but i can already see people crying and screaming about it#anyway still waiting for the mod that replaces her grab animation with her locking me in a full nelson instead#also this is a +0 shield and i have 10 stamina#you can actually block quite a lot of her basic attacks like this which i didn't realise#obviously not really a viable option as she heals but still#elden ring#my videos

For the next tutorial, Lydia Deetz won by a whopping 80% on the community poll! Thatās more than fair, of course. After all- whatās a Toon-juice without his gothy little pal?
Surprisingly, I sometimes find Lydia harder to draw than Beejtlejuice since sheās got a LOT of little details- but she becomes easier the more you draw her! (It often takes me at least three or four tries before I feel like I got her correct, bur sheās definitely a loving challenge for me ššŖ)
#This tutorial was made in a bit of a hurry- so feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions or if things are unclear.#I will try my best to explain#Iām still new to this whole tutorial thing- but I love learning about how to help others to learn! Itās a dream thatās been long coming.#beetlejuice#lydia deetz#toonjuice#beetlejuice fanart#beetlejuice cartoon#my art#procreate#beetlejuice animated#Art Tutorial

fantasy scenario: I make a youtube video essay called āMADE IN ABYSS CAN KISS MY ASS AND GO TO HELLā, I am doxxed and my address exposed, a swarm of angry anime fans descends on my apartment and breaks my windows; but the energy and love of the many people Liking my video, inspired by my brilliant rhetoric and whimsical yet cutting sense of humor, flows into me and makes me strong enough to knock out any of the angry anime fans cold with a single punch
#anime#catie talks#this very public blog is also my safe space to hold specific grudges against media properties#this post is about learning more against my will about the new manga volumes and third season of made in abyss#every few months or so it happens again#this story is such a bracing cocktail of things I love and things I cannot stand#that whenever Iām reminded of it I go through a few stages of grief over again#also regrettably I have to say kevin penkin fuckin did it again for the latest soundtrack volume it slaps

Tim Drake, to me personally, is a selective genius. More accurately, heās just an insanely fast learner when something even mildly interests him (typically something mentioned by Batman and/or Robin). Unfortunately this leads to weird and inconsistent gaps in his knowledge.
Like, for example, and referencing a post about him being unable to work computers Iāve made in the past, Tim learned all about PC hardware because Batman mentioned upgrading the Batcomputers specs once, which was then plastered across forums with the title of like āBATMAN SEEMS TO HAVE THE BUDGET OF NASA, IS THIS WHERE OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS ARE REALLY GOING?ā and Tim wanted to harness the power of the sun to create something similar. This led him down a rabbit hole, and now he can create a super computer from someoneās spare junk drawer. However, when it comes to installing software and actually using the PC beyond its basic functions? Uninteresting. The only reason he learned later on in his Robin career was because Barbra found his lack of ability to hack deeply concerning and decided to remedy it. She provided the proper motivation.
Other weird ass conversations include:
- Was able to deduce the strain of fear toxin that Damian was under, synthesize an antidote, and track Crane down to his warehouse at the Docks district within a three hour time period. (Bruce offhandedly mentioned that they should start writing down the effects of different fear toxins so that they could eventually identify which was which to make antidote administration easier, knowing itād be an insane and labor intensive task that no one would really do because they were doing just fine currently. Tim promptly created a spreadsheet, copped the cowl footage, and got to work. He learned advanced chemistry for this, promptly bringing his barely passing grade up to an A within two months.)
- Once was able to list the entirety of Haleyās Circus lineup over the years, correctly identifying which performers had been kidnapped by the Court of Owls, yet couldnāt name a single United States president before the year of 2012. (Got embarrassingly into circus performances because yāknow, Dick is his hero and so he memorized the entire history of Haleyās Circus so heād always know who/where/what Dick was talking about when he referenced his time there)
- Word for Word reciting an obscure peace treaty for an ALIEN NATION, but wasnāt able to tell Dick what the Fibonacci sequence was. (Starfire is Tamaranian and Tim assumed that she and Dick would get married one day and he didnāt want to be insensitive so he hacked into the Green Lantern files that all the Earth Lanterns update and got to work researching. Even the stuff that only tangentially mentioned the planet and people)
#dc#batfamily#batfam#Tim Drake#red robin#Batman#robin#This also plays into the āI know of no personal boundariesā bit that Tim has going on#Kid cannot be normal about anything least of all his favorite superheroes#Tim for when Jasonās been somewhat introduced back into the family read the entirety of Jane Austinās works#He learned everything about ballet that he could for Cass#For Damian he dug so deep into the history of animal rescue and the mechanics of painting#In fact he actually learned everything he could about Goliathās species so that he could talk to Damian about his new pet#His love language is knowing insanely detailed things about you and your hobbies#Tim āI can recite the entire history of this famous painter for Damian but couldnāt be bothered to make it past Calc in high schoolā Drake#Tim āI know everything about cloning (both in human and our current knowledge of alien tech) so I can make sure Konās safeā Drake#If you canāt tell Iām very much projecting#idk if this has been done before and sorry if it has but this idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while

Also had a very nice older gentleman at the same SCA event teach me the basics of making chainmail (his verdict: I did a great job researching and sourcing my rings so far, but need better tools), which was extremely fortuitous timing. Very excited to use this knowledge for Laios purposes.
#i did not specifically mention i was learning to make mail for anime cosplay but i suspect he would still have been approving haha#i love how many people i met at the event today who said they'd been in the organization for 20 or even 40 or more years#but who were also delighted to see a new face and chat about various crafts and teach me things#people are really great sometimes#(also. life goals)

yknow, i tell people who want to get into magic the gathering to play MTG Arena, because its free and has a pretty solid tutorial. thats how i learned to play the game. it's fun! i like it!!!
but to be honest. the thing that got me obsessed with mtg was this video about the art and lore of Phyrexia, which is haunting and hypnotic and cool and scary
youtube
#anime life#really cant recommend Rhystic Studies enough. his videos are hypnotic#im a really new player so they're especially fun for me because i get to learn some of the mtg history#which is one of my favorite things about magic!! i love that theres 30 years of stuff to learn about it#Youtube

I'm biased in that this is my favorite version of "Ode to Billie Joe" because it's the first version of it I can ever remember hearing, but I've heard the original version (by Bobbie Gentry, of course) now and...yeah, Phranc's version is still my favorite.
#Phranc#music#Bobbie Gentry#cover#I love this version so much#I also think Phranc changed some of the lyrics from the original?#Phranc's voice and her music is such an auditory hug to my ears. I cannot say that enough š#also I loooooooooooooooooooooooooove knowing that Phranc recorded this album in Seattle! At Bad Animals Studio (now X)!#and...hello. wait I just learned something else about it. DONNA DRESCH and John Pilgrim play bass on it#AND PATTY SCHEMEL AND TOBI VAIL PLAY DRUMS ON IT? HHHHHHWHAT oh my god. I love music. and learning new things.#Bandcamp

it's that time in production when i'm seriously considering quitting my job again š„“
#uhhhh me#the thing is. i always feel so guilty when i think about this#bc the animation industry is utter dogshit right now and the fact i managed to keep this job is supremely lucky#i literally have ex-coworkers who will do anything to have an anim job again and here i am wanting to quit because what#because i'm bored and feeling creatively unfulfilled#i don't know how to stop feeling like i'm just a cog in a machine that doesn't really care about me#every time i look at my shots i just think about how much i don't want to do them#i'm not learning anything new anymore#every day feels like the same thing#and it definitely doesn't help that i don't really care about the contents of the show and also i didn't get a raise when i was supposed to#also! i despise receiving client notes that basically undo what they asked us to do before like CMON. WHY#'what would you do without a job tho' for starters. i want to make another short film#i only managed to make the previous ones because i was on work break#i would love to have the mental capacity to get started on it for real#literally the one thing stopping me from quitting now is the income. which is. you know. pretty important

Beasties of Greenhollow soundtrack! Some tracks on this are from older projects like elphame but all of them have been reworked in some way. Most of them are entirely new. Enjoy!
#soundtrack#music#indiegamedev#Youtube#beasties of greenhollow#indiegame#chiptune#elphame#hey again gang. Another scream into the void#Things have been getting more interesting tbh#I'm starting therapy again. I have learned from this that my anxiety is in the very very high end.#And I guess the only thing that surprises me about that is that it's an abnormally high amount vs the average.#I've had more intrusive thoughts this week than in a long time. (I almost said ever but that was 2021 where they woke me up...)#It's mostly about my mistakes and ppl I've scared out of being in my life because of the actions based on my anxieties.#Like āif i could go back in time I could fix itā... girl you'd be going back in time like 100 times. At that point it's not fair lmao#I think I shouldn't talk about who I'm dating here anymore. Friends told me to stop seeing so many new people and I took that advice.#I'm exercising incredibly frequently; obsessively so. It really doesn't change much in my anxiety. I walk for like 3 hours a day.#My friend group is... difficult. One of us had a falling out with another and the dynamic is just so awkward for me now.#it just seems like everyone else has moved past it though but I still miss him. I don't think this can be reversed#we used to talk on my stream and play digimon cards n jackbox and d&d... But now they're only interested in d&d which I don't love#For god's sake I've published a game and moved to a nice new place. why aren't I happy hahahaha#work is no longer enjoyable since BoG was publised. our new project is in an iffy category but it's not my place to argue#I want to write music and animate but I have to do my hours for this new project before I can do anything like that...#I ended up siding with my current boss in that ethical dilemma I posted about and rn idk if that was the right decision.#Okay what can i talk about that's good? We moved to a nice place. I'm celebrating BoG's release with family tomorrow.#Graeme's playing Iconoclasts- one of my favourite games! He's also returning to work soon so it'll be less awkward to have a lady over#Thinking about good stuff going on just draws the mind to holidays I've had before. I treasure my memories!#Okay so I've complained for a long long time bc life doesn't feel great rn. But rest assured I already know this is 90% my fault hahaha#Oh another good thing that happened!!! My elestrals card was printed and ppl are really happy with it. I have a card in a real card game!!!#don't tell anyone but there's another one on the way. Anyway that will do for now. I'm sorry about my... self.

a crucial and often overlooked part of the social media experience is the need to see posts from ppl about things you do not care about. do not misconstrue my words because im not talking about giving bigots a platform. im talking about following ppl who never shut up about a game i never want to play. people who post about their oc for a manga ive never read. fan artists who you have no idea what the hell theyre drawing but you like their style. vaguely horny artists who have kinks i dont understand. people who post about bands from the 70s as if theyre still together and on tour. people who are obsessed with poetry when youve never found a poem you really feel. like sometimes you gotta follow somebody totally at random just for the enrichment and see where it takes you.
#and THAT is why i hate algorithms. i do not want to be catered to i want to see the wide variety of people in their world and their passions#t#variety is the spice of life as they say!#and yknow sometimes that leads to me trying out a game or something i normally wouldnt and turns out its a new favourite.#sometimes that leads to sitting through an album and grimacing the whole time because its sooo not your taste but its something new#you need to do this with ppl irl too btw. form a passive interest in their loved things. branch out. try new hobbies and activities.#this doesnt mean forcing urself to follow ppl u hate btw. like if their politics suck or theyre annoying then leave. do whats best for you.#just dont get stuck in only comfortable familiar things. something true for social media that i think gets missed a lot these days#talking abt this bc of the prev post btw. im learning about anime girls from gacha games AND the relationship between various muslim sects.#its great! doesnt have any relevance to me personally but im learning!
