i draw to draw & not exactly for results. i mean sure i have an end goal in mind for things but its not really about that. so. i generally just assume people will see the art & look at it for all of 20 seconds maybe go 'neat' to themselves & maybe hit like & thats it. i dont expect it to particularly catch any interest that anyone would save it and especially not something anyone would come back to look at frequently. i dont even look at my own stuff much after its done (usually) how can i expect others to. its not even a sad thing for me i appreciate those 20 seconds of consideration & every like i get. to think it means more to people is always deeply surprising

last keppy report card before the BIG DAY tomorrow!!

Leash Walking: 🟡/🔴 if kep were a human teenager he'd have an angsty poster in his room with huskies pulling a sled that said BORN TO PULL // FORCED TO HEEL

Manners - People: 🟢/🟡 you WILL be his bestie, or he WILL tackle you

Manners - Dogs: 🟢 friend of all creatures

Manners - Home: 🟡/🔴 having a lot of fun with destruction of property. also having some peepee problems, which at first i thought was marking but i think it's actually just housetraining regression because its always in the exact same spot he's struggled with from day one. did great when we spent the weekend at my parents' housre though.

Manners - Public Spaces: 🟢 he's just happy to be here

Grooming: 🟡 squirmy, but workable with bribery

Recall: 🟢/🟡 shockingly good at recalling off distractions but definitely has selective teenage deafness

Crating: 🟢 no complaints

Fear/Anxiety: 🟢 he spooked at an empty dog food bag that got blown out of the trash outside but then stellina walked up and sniffed it and his fears were vanquished

Volume: 🟢 lovely change of pace having a dog i can take places that doesn't scream the whole time

Puberty: 🟢 assuming the inside peeing is not actually hormone-driven, he's staying relatively composed.

doing good overall, really our main issues are just basic stuff - pulling on the leash (i have to be a lot meaner than i'd like in order to get him to walk nicely) and this last hurdle of housebreaking (i'm not sure why this one room is just incomprehensible to him that he cant pee there but it's been a long standing problem). otherwise he's been a pretty easy teenager - at least at this point.

i'll probably keep doing these until he turns 2 just for my own records, though i might drop it to every 2 months. i've seen some other ppl with puppies using the format which makes me happy! but ough i can't believe my puppy has grown up already 😭

Hannukah cat takes hannukah nap on the sofa

Cat kippah instructions below the cut

(Kippah is crocheted from 3 colors of size 10 thread, starting with mc and 6 sc around all the other two core threads, then by 6 evenly spaced increases every round. To create the spiral effect I switched out which color was the worked thread/core threads 6 times per round, offset by 2sc every round. If kippah is too flat for your cat’s keppie, add an additional row without any increases at the end. Then I positioned 4sc wide Tunisian crochet straps at like 7pi/6 and 11pi/6 radians (behind the earsies). )

Went out to goth club last night. Got to use a lipstick that I don't get to wear often which is this beautiful deep metallic brown/green called Metallurgy from Portland Black Lipstick Company. Dress from Nerdy Keppie, @vaspider on tumblr.

Edit: forgot to mention my earrings are from the Women Helping Women Beadwork instagram page. They sell beadwork made by incarcerated indiginous women in Canada and 100% of the profit goes directly back to the incarcerated individuals. Highly recommend checking them out.

Had a great time dancing with my mom, and ended the night by throwing a cup of water in my asshole dad's face. Definitely a good night.

jselenfriend: The Quareen and his throbbing brain. Brain was hard to see through his awesome helmet so this is a bts video of it pulsing. (Quareen here played by long time Evil monster Marti Matulis, he was subsequent played by Kevin Keppy and Fedor Steer in later episodes. Im 95% sure this application was by myself, Heather Mages and Dan Rebert)

On 7th June 1868 Charles Rennie Mackintosh was born n Glasgow.

As a young boy he was inspired by nature, drawing and painting flowers and driftwood he'd collected in the basement of his home in Townhead He began attending classes in drawing, painting, modelling and design at the Glasgow School of Art (then on Sauchiehall St) aged 15 and a year later began working as an apprentice to local architect John Hutchison.

It is widely reported that Mackintosh’s name is actually spelt 'McIntosh' on his birth certificate but was misspelt in the 1890s. The error stuck and from then on the young man referred to himself by the surname we are all familiar with.

Many buildings in Glasgow built in the 1890s were described publicly as the work of architects John Honeyman and Keppie; buildings which were either partly, or entirely like the Glasgow Herald building (now the Lighthouse) the work of Mackintosh in his role as assistant within the firm. As he was not a 'partner', he wasn't publicly acknowledged.

Mackintosh was engaged to Jessie Keppie, the youngest sister of the boss of his firm, but called off the engagement after falling in love with fellow artist Margaret MacDonald. Doing so was highly frowned upon at the time, and he risked both his expulsion from the firm and from the Glasgow societal circles he moved in for his choosing to pursue his love, whom he would marry in 1900.

His love for Margaret MacDonald is one of the greatest love stories in art history, and Mackintosh wasn't shy of shouting it across the rooftops. His wife was his "spirit key" who represented 3/4 of all that he had done. And while he had talent, Margaret "had the genius".

After the Glasgow School of Art was completed in December 1909, a local paper branded it an eyesore for the centre of the city, remarking that Mackintosh "have his bare arse whipped" for designing a building that "resembles a prison". Newer generations of citizens even regarded the building as 'queer' and 'decadent'. Remarkable for a building recognised by RIBA journal in 2009 as the finest designed by a British architect in the last 175 years.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was reported to be a heavy drinker, with stories indicating that he was often found in the morning in his studio under the table clutching an empty bottle.

As if his design for buildings wasn't giving him enough stick from some of his peers, Mackintosh even went so far as to design his own tartan, rejecting traditional green and red colours with his own 'Toshie's Tartan' of black and white check.

During WW1 in August 1915, Mackintosh was locked up in jail after begin arrested on suspicion of being a German spy. This was after he had aroused the suspicion of locals while staying in Suffolk by his late night walks along the coast, who thought that his use of a lantern may be him signalling out to see to the enemy.A police raid found letters written in German (to fellow artists) and he was banged up, before begin released after colleagues convinced the authorities of his innocence.

Mackintosh's work has featured in a dazzling array of films such as Inception, The Addams Family, American Psycho and Blade Runner - where the inclusion of his famous 'Argyle' chair provides a hidden meaning to the life of one of the film's central characters. Not only that, but in Madonna's 'Express Yourself' video, the singer can be seen crawling underneath a table surrounded by Mackintosh's famous chairs.

The statue in the pics is at Anderston in Glasgow, and was unveiled on anniversary of his death in December 2018, it is by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott of Kelpies fame.

my thoughts about the latest chapter

-the title is a reference to the english translation of the dutch word 'dwaallicht' !! so it's equal parts abt keppy and also william

-the william devil is the oldest character in this verse who is still alive

-ally ildicó, like many of my other ocs in this verse, is part of the 'los absolutos' story

-the song william sings in the car is actually the original yiddish version of 'dona dona.' he likes it a lot

-keppel's special claws are a reference to the kitty/dog/fox/???? creature in tooboe's tablet mv, it was one of the very first concepts i had for this au

-yes keppel is very vixen-coded. literally

-i want to congratulate james on his new engagement!! even tho it was literally kind of an impulse move on his part that just happened to fit well together with a new half-baked plan he had

-i swear i did not mean to bring up an election conflict right about this time 😭 but oh well. i like how it's going to forward the plot :3

-i think i write sunderland with bpd + autism tbh. like he doesn't do all this awful shit bc of that, but it's the way he forms attachments... he holds his favorite people to impossibly high standards and is extra disappointed when, surprise surprise, they don't live up to them. william is his latest unhealthy obsession

-the last scene was meant to be both incredibly romantic and incredibly fucked up. obv it would only be terrible irl, but like, idk here with sunderland he felt very genuine. but not rlly. if that makes sense

-and finally if this doesn't convince you i have a crazy intox kink i dont know what will, goddamnnn i love a good drunk william

The other day I was driving up from Orange County to home in Los Angeles when out of nowhere, I suddenly remembered the Matzah Ball Books. There was no specific impetus to the memory; it just wandered out of nowhere. The second I put the car in park, I beelined to my bookshelf. After thoroughly destroying the recesses of my shelves (and if I’m being honest, the surrounding area), I couldn’t find them. I started second guessing myself. Were these perfect children’s books a wishful imaginary artifact I created as a young child? I finally went on the internet to discover that they did exist, but it seems that I might have been one of only a handful to read them, given that there are so few reviews. If I didn’t have specific memories of picking up the books at a local Los Angeles Jewish museum then I would be convinced that they simply weren’t real, a fever dream after all.

At this point, you’re either nodding along joyfully, or you’re completely confused. If you didn’t happen upon these in your local Jewish museum like I did, let me get you up to speed. The Matzah Ball Books are a series written by Anne-Marie Baila Asner that center around a singular character with a characteristic described with a Yiddish word. There have been additions to the collection in recent years, but the “OG” ones that my family always loved included “Noshy Boy,” “Schmutzy Girl,” “Shluffy Girl” and “Kvetchy Boy.” Now, many years after I first discovered them, there are eight picture books in the collection with “Kibbitzy Girl” finishing it up — and there might be more to come as “Keppy Girl” is advertised on the website!

The books all center around that specific character who is frequently interacting with another one of the “boys” or “girls.” In the interest of broadening my horizons, when I started walking down memory lane I didn’t pick up one of my old favorites. I instead opted for the more recently published “Kibbitzy Girl.” If we’re being completely honest, I actually related to her the most.

The book opens by introducing Kibbitzy Girl who is “very chatty and loves to joke around” and her friendship with “Keppy Girl” (keppy is an endearing way to say “head” in Yiddish). As you may imagine,  while Kibbitzy Girl loves to chat, Keppy Girl wants to study and learn. When Keppy Girl rebuffs Kibbitzy Girl in class one day, Kibbitzy Girl runs into “Schleppy Boy” in the hallway. He tells her that if she wants to impress, she ought to do the talent show because, as he puts it, “kibbitzing is [her] talent.” Buoyed by this news, Kibbitzy Girl goes home “to make a list of her silliest kibbitzes.” She even practices in front of her brother, “Kvetchy Boy,” to see if it made him happy. She saves all of her kibbitzes for the show and has the whole talent show laughing! Kibbitzy Girl realizes that her kibbitzing is a gift. After the show, Keppy Girl comes to her and explains that it isn’t that she doesn’t love Kibbitzy Girl’s kibbitzing, it’s just that she needs to learn in class! Kibbitzy Girl understands, and the two move forward in their friendship, good as new.

These books all end with a lesson. For Schmutzy Girl, she learns that if her schmutziness is bothering other people, maybe it should be addressed. Noshy Boy learns that he should maybe make healthier eating choices. Shluffy Girl learns that not every time is nap time and maybe it’s only worth it to sleep when you’re actually tired. Schleppy Boy learns that if you spend so much time being prepared, maybe you’re not actually spending time with the people that you love.

As I researched these books, I kept on coming across one main point of praise for the series: the Yiddish emblazoned on the front cover. I majored in history, so in addition to just generally bemoaning the state of the world (tag yourself, I’m Kibbitzy Girl!) I’m often thinking about what has been lost and I am often concerned that Yiddish might soon be added to the “dead languages” list. Though it is frequently used in the Haredi community — where many consider Hebrew too holy to be used in casual conversation — the common use of Yiddish of only a couple of generations ago is waning. But the reviews of these books praise them for the simplicity of the Yiddish added in the texts. In “Kibbitzy Girl,” the definition of the Yiddish is never explicitly stated. It is meant for the child (or the reader of any age) to quickly make the connection between the multiple text bubbles in the illustrations and the opening line: “Kibbitzy Girl is very chatty and loves to joke around.” The connection is seamless and though there are certain words in Yiddish that have become commonplace even among those that aren’t Jewish, these books fill in some of the lesser known words.

I love peppering “farkakte,” “altacocker” and “fresser” as I kibbitz in conversation, but there is something comforting about seeing these books with the Yiddish on their cover in a bookshop. Though these books are meant for children (and the childlike at heart), I was happy to have remembered them, and genuinely moved to learn more Yiddish from their simple stories. So if you’re looking for encouragement from someone other than Duolingo to learn Yiddish, might I suggest The Matzah Ball Books?

[marzipanwings9099]

☎️ - "H O T O G O!" Hello, Marzipan with you! I love you!

#STB #admtake

"I miss you, you have no idea how much" - Taking a sip from a glass of chai latte and closing the door of the coffee shop with his foot, Kepper wrote on his phone. The message read: "Read just now"

"We saw each other three days ago, and you're already texting me!" - The answer came immediately, and Secret rolled his eyes.

"How cruel, I can actually block you, what will you do then, George? »

«I'll find myself a girlfriend 😀» - Before Kepp could even reply, a new message arrived - «Bad joke, you're right 🤧»

«First of all, stop using emojis, only old men do that, although with your goatee... Okay, let's move on 🙄.»

«I could write a whole list of what you violated with that message, but I just drove through a red light, so I won't get distracted, you're lucky 😤!

P.S. You used the emoji yourself, Caterpillar, so I'll do what I want, Kepper 😜! »

«Let me finish! AND SECONDLY, YOU'RE THE WORST COMEDIAN IN MY LIFE!!!»

«I love you too, baby 💍»

Well, Kepp certainly didn't expect that. He didn't expect that he almost ran a red light and was almost hit by a screeching truck. Throwing away his cup, Secret finally answered:

"When did you start calling me that? Have you been watching too many American soap operas or something worse? Hannah Montana? Fatal Attraction? Mean Girls?! Did Disney buy you out?" He smiled, imagining George on the other side of the screen laughing in confusion and typing him a caustic response. But there was no response, and instead a call appeared.

"You've played too much, I'm driving! Do you have a stop button? "

"It was written in small print the moment I decided to be your official boyfriend, I mean a stop button? Sorry, I don't like reading small print.

"Why are you texting me? Find yourself a girlfriend while I'm gone! - At that moment, George sharply turned the steering wheel, and the phone, apparently standing on the stand, rolled. - Almost missed the turn. See, you're distracting me, darling.

- I love you too, Teapot. I'm taking revenge on you for "baby", so to speak.

George's face shows slight embarrassment, but he still does not take his eyes off the road, so he gets by with a short and embarrassed:

- I have a name, by the way. And I love you, Keppy. I love you too.

- Returning to the girl, I've already found her, so don't worry.

- Well, you see! Not all is lost! You can propose to her, work at the Utimarket to pay for the wedding and let her give birth to your children, and you die on the same day!

- Is that what you dream about? - Kepp answers, frowning, barely holding back his laughter.

- Let's just say it's a brilliant plot that I've been living my whole life with, and then a boy in a cat mask showed up one day and everything went as well as possible, so I'm grateful to him for introducing me to my favorite person who recently became incredibly distant from me and I really regret it, but we need this stage, otherwise neither he nor I would be ourselves! You know what I mean, dude? - He finally looks at the camera and his feigned serious face is replaced by a warm smile when he sees Kepper smiling painfully, who, frankly, is tired of smiling stupidly.

- This is so stupid and romantic that I wash my hands of it. You won, definitely.

- I miss you too, in case you haven't figured it out yet. I'll be back just when you are, so have a good time with your friends and try not to dream about me before going to bed, otherwise I'll stutter to death. I love you! - George makes a heart sign with his index finger and thumb and Kepp, laughing, shouts into the speaker.

- No one has done that for a long time! You're so old!

- Half a year! - The only thing he manages to throw, after which Kepper throws it away.

"That was very rude, young man 🧓💋"

Secret approaches the bus, where other "smart kids" have already gathered, who were lucky enough to get into this trip for a few weeks. But he is only looking for ...

- Hey, hi! - Someone jumps on his back and Kepp almost falls under the weight of his best friend.

- Hi, Raj ... - He squeezes out, while Raj smothers him in an embrace.

- I've been waiting for this trip for ages! It's like the good old days! You and me, what if we find new friends?! This is so wonderful! I even put beads on my sneakers! - He pointed down, where yellow and white beads were indeed attached to the sneakers, mixed in with flower-shaped beads.

- Wow, you really prepared yourself thoroughly! All the monsters will run away, scared of you and your beads.

- They even glow in the dark! - Raj said proudly, and Kepp opened his mouth, feigning surprise.

The bus moved and Kepp turned on the music in one ear, and with the other he listened to Raj, who was pouring out about his boyfriend, and Secret almost fell asleep to his loving muttering. He understood him perfectly. BEFORE that, there was the period of teenage puberty, when absolutely nothing in this world is clear, and it is very difficult to curb your feelings, much less fully understand them without rose-colored glasses. Now that all this has settled down, you can begin a new stage in life: Healthy, strong relationships. And if Kepp treated this quite calmly, accepting all the changes in his relationship with George, then Raj approached it like a scientific project, thinking through every step and eliminating all hitches, or solving all problems before they arise.

- I miss him so much...

- You saw each other forty minutes ago, Raj. - He muttered sleepily, sliding off the chair.

- How do you know?

- You wrote a whole post about it in your group. Are you serious?

- I didn't know you read my channel...

- Everything from the first messages! Okay, a better topic: What do you have for a snack?

- We just left the parking lot, Kepp!

- I have a peanut butter banana apple sandwich.

- I have... sliced apple!

- Do you have any kiwi?

- Where do you think I got kiwi?!

- I love kiwi, it burns!

- ......You're allergic to kiwi.

- Nope!

- Aha! You're definitely allergic!

- Next on the list. I have almonds!

- I love almonds!... But I don't have anything else... - But Kepp had already seen the blue wrapper and Raj looked at it with pity. He held out his hand sarcastically and demanded viciously. Mercilessly and cruelly, like a bloodsucker. - NO! That's my "Cocoledi"!

- Okay. Another bag of cashews with salt and autumn chokorol.

- It's not autumn yet! Where did you get that?!

- I have my own methods. It's my little secret. - Kepp answered, finishing his soda and tearing off the wrapper. - So you're changing? - There was disappointment in his friend and his actions in Raj's eyes, but he still held out the bar. - It's a pleasure doing business with you. Oh! I completely forgot! My best, beloved friend loves this bar! I'll give it to him! - Kepp put it back in Raj's bag and Raj hugged him tightly again.

- But what's in it for you then?

- To annoy you. And you'll share my food with me, right?

- You can take it, swindler. - Raj answered, still hugging him tightly.

After some time, filled with discussions of all sorts of topics and problems and a lot of laughter, an Internet access point appeared and the entire hum of the bus immediately died down. Finally, the long-awaited messages reached everyone! And of course, to Kipp and Raj too.

- My boyfriend is cooler than yours, just admit it. - Said Raj, texting Sean. Looking through his phone, Kepp saw a bunch of cute photos. Some romantic, like newlyweds taking pictures, and some just of flowers, streets, the city, and so on.

- Never in your life, Raj, should you admit that my boyfriend is everyone's dream - Kepp snorted, scratching his eyebrow where he had a piercing. He was also texting George, discussing another school book.

- Can you two shut up? - Jason, who had been listening intently all this time, leaned over the bus seat, and both guys frowned in displeasure, looking at him.

End of Part 1 (?)

[kangals]

Kep report card for month 5! I can’t believe he’s already been here for that long that is insane to me. he’s a fetus.

food (drive, appetite, sensitivity): 🟢  only food he won’t eat so far is pickles

leash walking: 🟡/🟢 a little bit pull-y especially on walks with both dogs, he does chill out eventually after enough reminders. just one of those things that need to be worked on regularly while he grows.

sleeping: 🟢 - sleeps great overnight and during work hours. is a maniac from 5-10pm, but i'll take that tbh.

crating: 🟢 - i think we've conquered the crate issues! been using it a lot with the hot weather and when i check on him he's not always sleeping soundly but if he is awake he's not panting or barking or seeming stressed, just a bit bored. he's not ever going to be a dog that voluntarily naps in a crate, but he doesn't tantrum and that's all i need,

potty training: 🟢/🟡 tentatively - tentatively - i think he's doing really well. hasn't had an accident indoors in over a month. i'm not willing to call him fully housebroken just yet, but if he goes another month without accidents i think we can!

general training: 🟢 clever boy, starting a new class this week too

manners: 🟡 jumps on people and steals things (his bloodlust for toilet paper is staggering), but nothing unmanageable

grooming: 🟢/🟡 pretty good, still wiggly about brushing but i'll wear him down eventually

cars: 🟢 /🟡 good at riding in the car, but has started the annoying habit of barking at ppl/dogs that walk past the car which i hate and we're working on.

outings/socialization: 🟢 havent been able to do much with the heat, but likes adventures. did great overnight at my parents' house!

other dogs: 🟢 really good, he's a doofy puppy but he's good at taking corrections without taking offense.

other people: 🟢 FRIEND. FRIEND KEPPY.

small animals: 🟢 /🟡 i hesitate to give him a yellow here, he's really good with cats, but he's becoming a bit obsessive about chasing squirrels/rabbits/birds a bit lately. i don't think its problematic, assuming it doesnt escalate.

puberty: 🟢 he's not really showing any bad behaviors yet, only thing i can see is that he pees 5-6 times on walks instead of just once. has lifted his leg like twice.

no reds this month! he really does have a great personality, he's a nice mix of active and smart + easy companion. which is how a collie should be! it helps that he's not nearly as vocal or independent as stellina was at this age, even if he is a bit more opinionated in other ways. he's either going to be a super good dog forever, or adolesence is going to hit him like a freight train at some point, idk. we'll see!

[beetlebethwrites]

Heya! Just wanted to ask if there will be an update in the foreseeable future - my soul craves some more of your writing ✍️

And yes , i have played the current demo on repeat since it was posted 😁

Happy writing . I love and appreciate your work,keppy well author!!!!!!

I'm glad that you really enjoyed YLAF 💛

I'm hoping that I'll get to it soon, the first draft of the next chapter is nearly done. Then I'll go through coding, playtesting, beta testing etc.

Unfortunately, I've been working 10hr+ days 6 days a week for the last while and so I haven't had any time to work on it. Hopefully I'll have time to work on it soon but I'm honestly not hopeful.
