Be respectful when filming or taking pictures in public.
It's one thing if you're filming or taking a picture of a busy tourist attraction where it's unavoidable that some of the crowd is going to be in your picture or video. But it's another thing to intentionally take a picture or video with the intent of capturing someone doing something you find funny or embarrassing, without their consent, with the purpose of mocking them or having "funny" content.
First of all, most people are going to rightfully feel like it's a violation of their boundaries to be intentionally filmed or photographed without their consent. It's also just bullying behavior to take a picture or video of someone with the intention of mocking or ridiculing them.
Some people might think it's harmless if the other person never finds out they're being filmed or photographed, but it's still heavily disrespectful regardless of whether or not they find out. And you can't ever be certain it won't get back around to them.
And some people think "it's all in good fun" or "we're laughing with them, not at them" but if it's someone you barely know, or don't know at all, you can't know how it's actually going to make them feel.
#When I worked retail#I worked in a gift shop#that had big corny novelty decorations outside#so if you worked opening shift you had to drag them outside#and for some reason tourists thought it was hilarious to watch us drag out giant polar bears or wooden cut outs of vikings#so it happened all the time that tourists would take pictures or videos of us while cackling about it#me and a few of my co-workers would actually approach them and demand they delete it#one guy seemed confused about why I was mad#he thought I would see it as all in good fun#but he was a perfect stranger to me#so of course I didn't want him filming me#manners#good manners#politeness#courtesy#etiquette

okay, but characters wearing diapers or pull-ups to a theme park tho
first, some of the reasons one might be padded at a theme park:
• the character is a total germaphobe, and using public bathrooms frequented by thousands of people a day isn't on the table
• the character has a shy bladder and there is no chance that they'll be able to use the extra large bathrooms filled with dozens of stalls, not to mention all the other people waiting in a line to use those stalls
• the character is very easily distracted and has been known to put off bathroom breaks until the last possible second - something that'll be a bit hard to deal with in a crowded theme park
• the character decides that they want to minmax their day at the theme park and get their money's worth, and as such, decides that wasting time for a bathroom break is unacceptable
• and, simply, the character thinks it might be a bit fun to wear padding at a theme park
the way that the characters use their protections
• the ones that wait and hold it until an opportune moment arrives
• maybe some wait until they're waiting in a line for a ride that isn't moving; they shuffle between their friends - or, away from the other guests in the line, if they came alone - and let loose, their discomfort gone and their place in line maintained
• those that aren't going to be able to go unless they're away from the public eye/crowds; they need to find somewhere secluded, and the nagging feeling that they're going to be caught "doing something they're not supposed to" isn't helping
-- they either find a little corner of the park that isn't very busy, so they do their best to relax their bladder and go
-- or they don't, and they end up losing control while surrounded by strangers, much to their dismay
• those who didn't intend on wetting at that exact moment - maybe their ride was more thrilling than they had thought, maybe someone bumped into them, or maybe they just got so excited - or frightened! - upon seeing a costumed character that their control of their bladder completely slipped their mind - so they sure are glad they opted for the protection
• the ones who's protection is intended to be used as a last resort only - which means they still need to try their hardest to make it to the bathroom in time
• those who go as soon as the urge hits them; they're wearing padding, they don't need to hold it or anything!! that's what the protection is for!!!
and then, of course, what'll happen when they need to get changed:
the fact if the matter is, there are a limited amount of changing tables that our character can even fit on, which means that they'll have to either deal with their soggy bottoms in the narrow single stalls or use the accessible/companion/family bathrooms
• those who opt for the single stall change, as, after all, they can handle it themselves!! except, they've never changed a diaper standing up before, and, oh, wow, those tapes aren't sticking where they're supposed to go and - uh oh...
• those who opted for pull-ups now struggling in the single stall, because how were they supposed to know that the ones they picked don't have easy open sides, which means that they need to disrobe entirely from the waist down - shoes included - just to put a new one on
• any of the above people needing to phone-a-friend to get some help - except, they can't exactly leave the stall at this point, which means that their friend is going to need to squeeze into a stall that can barely fit two people
• those who are alone who opt for the accessible bathroom; afterall, they're a guest who needs the facilities, why shouldn't they use it?
-- of course, that's easier said than done, as they soon realize. there's only a limited amount of these bathrooms in the park, which means they're a bit more busy than the regular bathrooms - this results in the character having to nervously stand in line amongst families, who might be raising a brow at why our character is in line in the first place....
• and then, those who opt for the accessible bathroom with a friend who is going to change them
-- any onlookers alongside them in line, looking at our possibly skittish character, who might even be attempting to hide behind their friend - who, of course, is carrying a bag or backpack with the necessary changing supplies. looking between the two, it isn't hard to put together that a routine diaper change is all that's going to be happening between these characters in the bathroom, nothing nefarious (though, depending on our character's pride that might be exactly what they were banking on what strangers would assume)
• a character who did not plan ahead, and after thoroughly soaking their protection and heading for the bathroom, they realize these single stalls are not big enough to change in. cue the character, with a noticeable waddle in their gait, having to locate the nearest theme park employee to ask about where the nearest accessible bathroom is - only for the employee to show them that's it's very clearly labeled not too far away
• and then, the characters who decide that changing their padding is not on the itinerary, and so they opt to stay in their wet padding - what's going to happen first? stained pants from leaky padding? thighs chafing from the excess moisture? a diaper rash? maybe they'll even be so unlucky that they get to experience all three...
~bonus scenarios~
• the character did not bring enough padding for an entire day at the theme park, and the extra large souvenir cups did not do them any favors; the character needs to choose between wearing soggy padding longer than they'd like or go without protection for the rest of their evening - with their weakened bladder, they're not too sure if ending the day with dry pants is even on the itinerary...
• the theme park has a water ride and the character eagerly goes on it without much thought. when they exit the ride, they need to change more than their shirt and pants soaked from a large drop - their padding also managed to absorb much of the water, and they leave with a tell-tale waddle
• characters who wish they opted for something more heavy-duty; as it turns out, their protection barely protected anything at all (or maybe they just over estimated the capacity, lol), and now they have wet pants without a change of clothes. it's just their luck though, as it seems the theme park has accounted for this exact scenario, and clean overpriced pants, socks, shoes, and even new underwear are available in the gift shop - now, would that be cash or card? 😊
#i spent a full week working on these lmaooo#kept on getting distracted by the scenarios AND fiddling with the formatting until it looked good#omorashi#omocute#omutsu#omo#fictomo#mine#anyway fyi theme parks DO carry overpriced underwear#and usually socks#Definitely pants#everything is so expensive...............#anyway catch me in a theme park gift shop looking at these items like 😈#also i kept this post vague enough to apply to characters that Aren't littles so ummmmm......#there's Absolutely another post coming with a couple more scenarios that skew towards the caregiver and little side of things 😅

I had a scrap piece of paper and drew the little freakish dog 👍 I have been silently enjoying your art for like a couple months now? I found it randomly on uploaded Pinterest and was like “oh huh that’s rad” and yeah he’s such a lovely sad little beast
.
#oooh another tiny machete sighting!#I don't know but I find it just so endearing that people are out there doodling his weird little face#on post it notes corners of scrap paper and at work#I do that too but then again I'm rotating him in my head at least fifteen times a day so I kind of have to#the WHISKERS ah#scruffy little animal#putting him in my pocket and taking him to the grocery shop as we speak#thank you! and I'm glad you've been enjoying my art!#I've always had a little difficult relationship with pinterest because a lot of art gets uploaded there without proper sources or credit#and whenever a piece of yours gets reposted sourcelessly often enough you kind of end up losing ownership to it which isn't fun#it gets used without artist's consent as bootleg prints and shirts and tattoos and such#but lately a lot of people have come to me saying they discovered my stuff through pinterest#or had seen my character there and recognized it later when they came across one of my own posts#and it's always very nice to hear that I'm glad you've found me here#but I'm getting very off topic didn't mean to ramble like that#gift art#answered#wwildcatt#own characters#Machete

#my characters#they (my OCs in general) are not mine if they don't pine and fail at romance#and the fact one of the options WAS actually ask an inappropriate question??? deacon coded if there was ever something deacon coded#i have so many stupid ideas for ymber having the worst comments that he THINKS would be flattering in his head and then he hears it out lou#and is like oh no that was awful im going to be abandoned for that and i deserve it oh wow dang that was so bad#both of them are trying so hard to be supportive and learn about the other and somehow its working?#no one else knows HOW it works but ok buddy#like i saw a mug in a coffee shop that i DESPERATELY want to draw in the modern au i have#with Oh handing it to Ymber saying AH HA found a mug I can gift Deacon the next time you fuck up with talking to him#and then doesn't buy it but is thinking about it and then later that day Ymber says something v blunt and non flattering#and Oh just ARE YOU KIDDING ME I DONT HAVE DEACONS GIFT BC YOU SAID YOUD TRY HARDER AT THIS#the mug in question said#congrats on your breakup we hated him#and there were sparkles around breakup#and it was so funny to me i just .... thinking about how much Oh would love to give it to deacon as a sorry my friend is so bad at this#i really wanna draw more of the sims fail options with the others in the plot but hey i can post it on my side blog and spare you all here#i was thinking about a fanart idea earlier this morning and completely forgot it by the time i sat down to draw#gomen gomen i was gonna try to not do ocs on main but.... alas....

August: Day 8
Adventures
Went to a thrift store and the library's used bookshop.
Bought a copy of Around the World in 80 Days that looks more readable than my current copy (so long as it's not an abridged children's edition). May make a new cover for it.
Bought a book about the basics of astronomy. If I'm going to write about an astronomer, I need to know a tiny bit, and this looks like it's written for idiots with short attention spans, so it'll be great for me.
Bought the coolest pop-up book I've ever seen. For a quarter. I'll have to show you guys pictures.
Treated myself to Youtube videos about Victorian literature. Indulged in a few Gutenberg downloads. Read the first chapter of Lady Audley's Secret and this may derail all my reading plans until I finish.
Accomplishments
Read a few chapters of Heretics. Am now halfway done.
Tire. Twice.
Signed up for a CPR refresher course
#adventures in august#the pop-up book is about prehistoric animals and it's so cool#a mammoth head comes straight out of the page#multiple huge dinosaurs#most of the pages have little flaps that unfold into mini popup books#that library book shop has the lowest prices of my usual haunts#but they usually jack up the price of anything cool#i fully expected to see this cost a minimum of five bucks#and while it was cool i couldn't justify that#so the .25 tag was shocking#thought i'd misread it#did they mean to print 2.50?#nope all it took was one measly quarter#i could lose that in a parking lot and not notice it#and i got this masterful piece of pop-up art#tbh i didn't want to make the bookstore today's adventure but this was so worth it#oh also the cpr course was a gift#i had just been thinking i was due for one#and was going to look one up yesterday and forgot#only to come into work and find out they're hosting one there#felt like god was looking out for me today

I hereby pledge that I will not obtain any more fabric until I've made three of the five quilts I currently have planned out in my head (not counting the quilts I'm currently working on)
#two of the quilts im working on are basically 2 steps from finishing#granted one of those two steps is the actual quilting of the thing#tempted to see how much it would cost to get them long arm quilted at the local shop#crap#i have 4 whole 80 gallon totes full of fabric this is getting ridiculous#tho also i have to grant that 3 of those totes are full of fabric that was gifted to me for free#still tho
