Hello may 31th anon! Look at that, another year behind us and a new one to come. Have a nice day! ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡
#may 31th anon#hello friends!! (。’▽’。)♡ how are you!! I missed you so much!#I'm sorry that once again i have not been posting but I did that thing again where I got scared of posting#I do not know why but it is the same with physical paper diarys#I have 3 diarys and they all have 1 entry#I think one just says 'I am ten'#what have you been up to!! did you do something fun? is it summer too where you live? c:#my tumblr messages seem to be broken! I'm sorry if you wrote something :C it just says 'no new messages' despite also saying new messages#not a lot has happened here! I got a tomato plant and then I got very invested into the tomato plant and I have eaten three tomatos so far (#my roses are also doing well!! I just got a new yellow rose and since she got here she only made orange flowers#I do not know the meaning of that#but I am very thankful! ( ˊᵕˋ )♡ I love it when things are orange!!#I've been trying to buy an orange shirt for the past 2 weeks but they always sell out before I get to them#I'm also thinking about buying a jean jacket#I have not worn a jean jacket for at least 15 years because one time in 7th grade tthe girl behind me said#that I was wearing a cool jean jacket and I just assumed that this was bullying for no actual reason#but maybe she just thought that it was an acutal cool jean jacket#we'll soon have out 10 year school reunion#maybe I should ask her#is anyone else going to a secret Sherlock phase again#I just want to see that silly little hat again#would sherlock holmes wear a jean jacket#have a nice day everyone!!#see you soon hopefully!!#♡^▽^♡

look i totally get it’s all love now but genuinely every kipperlilly sympathizer that only talks about how it’s so valid she hates the bad kids and how she’s a side character getting fucked by the main characters simply just feels like they themselves have hella side character syndrome and are relating to kipperlilly a bit too hard and might need to consider that they’re only a side character if they convince themselves they are
(my tags explain it a bit better but i was too lazy to copy them up here)
#and look i’m not here as a kipperlilly hater in any way she is very relatable in many ways that i have posted about before#BUT it’s giving the kid in class with awful grades saying u only get good grades cause the teacher likes u when the teacher likes u cause#it doesn’t come easy to u but u reach out and ask for help and work really hard so they know you’re invested and appreciate that#and obviously that’s a personal experience but i guess what i’m saying is i’ve rarely heard a person complain about unfair treatment#(in non-systemic issues) outside of times where other people put in like 200% more work than them and they just refuse to believe it#and instead feel salty and hide that behind ‘it’s not fair’ and ‘[insert authority figure here] likes them more’#and i’ve also seen a lot of people acknowledge that but also some people are just like going on ab how it’s rough to be a ‘side character’#and how it’s unfair and whatever and in the majority of the instances in this show i think the bad kids have genuinely earned their rep#original overanalyzing#fhjy#d20 fhjy#fantasy high#fig faeth#gorgug thistlespring#riz gukgak#fabian aramais seacaster#kristen applebees#adaine abernant#kipperlilly copperkettle#fhjy spoilers

Babagril I adore clipped wings and you are feeding my insatiable hunger for heavy angst and impeccable writing but I am a littol concerned about how fast you're putting chapters out recently. I know they've been on the shorter side compared to the beginning but plase don't push yourself too hard okies? We can wait, I just don't want you getting burnt out or something :(
Also you are so meanies to us why must Donnie constantly go through the horrors its the fic ive always craved and I am sobbing, thank youuu
hey hey im fine!! i should probably clarify that im genuinely just a fast writer and im. yknow. an unemployed 18 year old who doesnt have much to do other than stuff like this, and im fed and moved along by all the praise and kindness. you dont have to worry about me!! honestly a HUGE thing im aiming for while writing CW is the joy of getting to complete something, i actually crank these chapters out in like a sitting if im in a good mood LOL (theyre kind of scrappy, but im trying to combat my perfectionism. pretty much every time ive said im gonna take a bit i find myself too excited to, ive got a big hyperfixation on CC at the moment and all of the good reception has gotten me even more hyped bghdghfh. you have NO idea how much i stare at the fanart you guys have made for me ily....). for my next project i plan on writing a lot in advance and pacing myself better (especially because i want to do longer chapters for it), but for CW im happy to just speed through!!
^^ helped along by the fact that im trying to avoid making chapters long for the sake of it now. i dont really have a goal in mind for wordcount with this next set, because i think i want to think in what progresses more than that
and thank you!! teehee the thing i want to move to next is so much sillier but i do enjoy taking a real good dip into The Horrors....... not sure where i'll be going after wwww but its planned to be a HUGE undertaking anyway. but i will probably be returning to the horrors. and maybe CVD ive missed her my love
#ask#i probably got so invested in donnie because i am an INSANE workaholic when it comes to my writing#its my one Thing. i was always considered prodigious in it and nothing else so i attach pretty much Everything to it#im the person who wrote a 11k word narrative essay in seventh grade. for funsies#just the kind of person i am. ive always been super go big or go home with it#i like the DAZZLE..... i live to impress. probably why i was mad CL couldnt be a oneshot#it was such a flex.... oh well#finally having actual praise for my work. like REAL praise#is what's making me go so fast and so hard. ive been starved!!#i relate a little too much to that fuckin purple guy sometimes and it makes me UNCOMFORTABLEEEEE#even then i feel like i could do better. i could go harder. YOU HAVENT SEEN MY PEAK#okay yes you have it was CL. BUT ONE DAY IM GONNA DO IT AGAIN

back on my bullshit
(fantasising about buying a bass guitar and learning how to play which is something I’ve wanted to do for YEARS and now actually have concrete plans to! As an incentive for passing my the rest of my quals)
#I want to play bass so so so bad bass lines are always my favorite parts of songs they’re like pop rocks on my brain#(I feel qual dread creeping up on me but focusing on how excited I am to learn bass this summer if I pass this round-#instead of wallowing in perpetual low-grade terror- is actually one of the most effective stress mitigation strategies I’ve come up with)#Bass guitar bass guitar bass guitar#I wonder if I can get one in my favorite shade of dark green#I mean probably I shouldn’t spend too much money on or get overly invested in my first bass#But okay wouldn’t a phthalo green bass guitar be sick or what#qual jeremiad#(kinda)#svet.txt

i'm trying so hard not to be inappropriate on people's posts, but i do need to express, somewhere, that wip tag games and sunday snippets and wip wednesday and whatever else are very consistently making me slightly feral.
like maybe i could just hunt a couple of you down and chew on you a tiny bit? shake you really gently until words fall out? give you blankets and tea and six to twelve hours in a dark, quiet room? send you messages in the middle of the night telling you that i think you're doing a good job? take you to the seaside for six months so you can recover from the agonies? other?
please know that if most of these options did not involve extensive travel and possibly criminal charges, i would absolutely be doing it.
#i am practically vibrating with my desire to get a good grade at being a supportive stranger who's too invested in your creative work#now i'm going to add this to my queue and shuffle it so no one can tell what series of posts triggered it#i have not much to offer this fandom but by god if you want my absolutely unhinged support and enthusiasm you can probably have that#i am trying so so so hard#anyhow more dms in the middle of the night is it#echoes linger#fandom life

the nsbu table is five DM pets and rekha shankar
#not art#nsbu spoilers#← tag mostly for the following tags lol#regarding the post I Am Colloquializing For Joke Of Course but its just funny to see how#everyone is like so sweet and enthusiastic and playing and frolicking in brennan's sandbox#and rekha is heckling him at any possible venue. everyone else is a camper rekha is his shounen rival#like jacob is bringing his full earnestness into playing the character#and alex constantly reaches to pieces and people in the environment and other players to reveal extremely compelling dynamics#and ify is doing next level engineer shit on the worldbuilding he is straight up gonna get a good grade in isekai#and ally is extremely willing to take any hit to keep the banter flowing and the ease with which they and brennan bounce ideas back and#forth is astounding#and izzy is like. she's Hysterical I fucking love paula so much but there's that moment in the latest ep when jack manhattan shows up#and she Immediately breaks out of paula to do the fucking face and beat perfect jack manhattan and you kinda realize oh she's just#really fucking good at acting and she's beinging it 110% to the table#man. nsbu is just good lmao#I call rekha brennan's shounen rival but truly like that person hacking move was awesome she is as invested in the world as everyone else#but that dynamic really got her to shine the way it sets up the shirt throwing bit was straight up a jjba duel#like brennan entertaining her request and letting the whole table forget about the speed of the car before reminding them#by breaking g13's wrist. like beat for beat a shounen fight it's the best#and it heightens when rekha then does something fucking awesome#its good. its just really good. I really enjoy nsbu guys

finished black sails it was goooooood everyone can send me spoilers now
#elvy.txt#mark of a good show is when i start nitpicking the colour grading and shit means i'm invested + can't find anything worse to be annoying ab#still don't believe those cunts could survive a day in potc tho they'd be like hm the kraken's fast approaching#and then they'd argue abt what to do for like an entire episode#and at the end of the day silver would be like i don't mind the kraken actually i think the kraken's nifty i think the kraken's cool#and frankly i think fighting the kraken sounds like a nightmare and i don't want to <3#and then they'd die SAD

calling targ fans neo-nazis because they enjoy a fictional family of dragonlords is insane. it's also super disgusting because a majority of targ nation are poc and/or jewish themselves. and where the fuck do they get the idea that targaryens are nazis to begin with? which race are they trying to systematically exterminate? when did they impose valyrian lebensraum on westeros? how the fuck can they be white supremacists against the other whites of an entirely white continent?
Honestly, I think this is why we just have to start being meaner to these people. There's no way they should feel comfortable casually calling people "neo-nazis" because of the fictional characters they like in a fantasy series. I'm so tired of the superiority complex they have because they think they're enjoying the series in the "right" way in comparison to the rest of us. The Targaryens are "Nazis" because they don't like them and need Dany to go mad to fit their idea of what the story should be. In other words, they lack any concept of critical thinking skills and their only reference for the story is that god-awful show that George has said multiple times has a different ending than his. "Targ restoration is neo-nazi rhetoric" and the Targ restoration in question is a former bridal slave who's spent the majority of her life in poverty and danger + who is currently enacting a wide-scale revolution and fighting for slaves getting the family and happiness she's always wanted. Not to mention that people never have these "bad blood" takes about Jon, despite him being Half-Targaryen. The Starks are colonizers who took over the North and decimated the COTF...but I don't see any takes saying it's bad to hope the Starks regain their home. Where are all the metas/theories about the remaining COTF returning and regrowing their numbers? I thought we weren't supposed to like colonizers responsible for the destruction of an entire species? Funny how that hypocrisy works. Meanwhile, the actual author of the series is a Targ stan who has written more for House Targaryen than any other house. But sure...it's our moral obligation as readers to not like them and root for their extinction 🙄
#ask#anon#house targaryen#anti targaryen antis#daenerys targaryen#there's nothing wrong with disliking any character/house but there are certain characters that being /antis/ of is just gonna be miserable#cause the author obviously loves them and is invested in their story#Dany is the character with the most growth + wide-scale impact but he's going to suddenly make her /mad/ in the last act#the main threat is ice zombies...but the /mother of dragons/ who brought magic back to the world is going to die right#I just know y'all were struggling in 9th grade English cause this is just basic reading comp and understanding of the narrative

What markers do you use and what kind paper? The textures are so Delicious
Very basic paper, actually! I find I overthink when using expensive stuff and it makes my sketches worse.
As for markers, I use Copics! Not that this is an endorsement (my first set were a very nice gift), but I have really liked using alcohol based markers over water based ones; lovely texture, good blending, and less streaking. However, the price can be *brutal*, and you can very easily get by with other markers + pencil crayons.
#ask#art faqs#fancy supplies are nice but the dont really help THAT much for art skills. Consistancy and persistance does.#I balked the first time I needed to go in to buy a few new ones to fill out my roster.#if you are going to invest; my strategy was to make those fancy new supplies a reward for drawing X amount of days in a row#that way one doesnt buy a bunch of stuff for a soon to be abandoned hobby#Art is a relatively cheap hobby at its basics. You do not need the fanciest and most expensive things.#I think watercolour is the only exception for me; that paper better be high grade. The paint mix also matters#but I digress. Buy what you need and not what you want. Save your money.#Guilt will make you stop drawing. Hoarding supplies and never using them is wasteful#when I drop money on new colours I'm going in with a list of what I want#and looking through the swatchpad for hours until i get the right colour.#cant emphasize enough how fortunate I am to have been gifted my copics. I never would have bought them on my own.

It's 4AM, and I can't go back to sleep because I'm replaying Kate Brown and Annie Armstrong's conversation about Red Chip Art in my head and screaming at every other word. We're clearly in a blind people and a painted Banksy elephant situation, so let me add another set of hands.
What we're seeing is the latest incarnation of art as a tool of corporate fashion, celebrity, and luxury. It did not start with Virgil; it's been going on for decades.

#red chip art#blue chip art#investment-grade art#kaws#banksy#nigo#artnet i love you but we're not going to coin our way out of this

Reading some of the critiques of pjotv and now I know why y’all are on tumblr and not in the writer’s room 💀💀
#ive said this before but i have to say it again because some of you guys …#calling the BLACK SAILS writers bad 😭😭 do you hear yourselves#all opinions are valid but some are stupid!!!#(i kid but also i think y’all have just aged out of pjo and are expecting something that even the og series was not delivering)#like the source material is middle grade! which is 8-12 year olds#literally the oldest of the target audience is a seventh grader lol#like i was literally six when we got assigned tlt in school#it’s a kids book and a kids show and y’all really got to start treating it like that#otherwise you’re only going to be severely disappointed#(and wrongly so because you’re expectations are skewed from years of fandom)#anyway i think the show is doing a great job of filling in plot holes and fleshing out characters and unraveling plot threads#it’s disappointing that y’all can’t see that because you want a scene by scene copy paste of the books#like some of y’all need a lesson in thematic cohesion and building a multi-season show with a specific overarching theme and message lol#because that’s something the og book series was missing#rick struggled to tie all of his ideas and messages into a cohesive goal so it felt messy at times#i actually have so many thoughts about how the show is doing a lot better than the books#the books would undermine their own goals sometimes because of the focus on action#while the show is reallying building up the characters and exploring the dynamics before the action kicks off#because why would you be invested in any type of action sequence if you don’t care about the characters?#percy jackson#annabeth chase#grover underwood#sally jackson#gabe ugliano#poseidon#percy jackson and the olympians#pjotv

I do feel odd complaining on my blog because so many people follow me haha. but on the other hand I do want to present myself as like... a person. unfortunate
#i feel so much pressure to post enough stuff that people like because so many people are here. yknow?#i get anxious when i don't feel well enough to draw or write stuff#which is partly my own drive to do stuff but also i want to like. get a good grade in fandom. a thing that's normal to want etc etc#and i want people to be invested in the stuff i make. the aus and my art and all that.#and also i have so much stuff i want to get done and i get stressed resting. because i could be working on refs or writing or etc#when wanting art of your thing means you have to make the thing... ack#i'm scared of being irrelevant which. is dumb but Alas. alas. prey animal#ok i'm done#tridential tirade
