I have yeeted the teets! Day one post-op has been a bit rough (fuck the drains 💀), but honestly not the worst. I was more dead yesterday after the surgery, and my partner says they've seen me looking worse just on bad days with my chronic illness lol.

Also, gotta say, that post about having a Winnie-the-Pooh bod post-top surgery is so right. None chest with left tummy

– COMMISSIONS!

the pictures say it all but tl;dr my laptop died and i had to get a replacement and now i'm a bit short on money so i'm opening up commissions :]

– QUICK FACTS.

ocs only, won't do mecha / furry / explicit content but will do humanoid fantasy races / cyberware / mild injuries or blood

i reserve the right to say no to a character when it's too far above my skill level

payment up front through ko-fi, no refunds, dm me before paying because you'll need to claim a slot first!

i need visual reference(s) to work with, using picrews for this is fine, encouraged even if you can't provide me original artwork! i refuse to use a/i art as reference so please don't send me that

– I'M INTERESTED! WHAT NOW?

please dm me on tumblr and tell me what kind of commission you're interested in (sketch / lines / colors + head / bust / half body) and for which oc, preferably already with a link to some visual refs so i can take a look :]

i'll then let you know if you've claimed a slot; if so, we can discuss details + payment and i'll get started! if all slots are full i can put you on a waiting list and i'll notify you once i've worked through my queue :]

the finished piece can in some cases already be done in a day but may take up to a full month depending on how busy i am and if my brain allows me to work, i have executive dysfunction and am in the middle of my graduation project so please be patient with me

With summer rapidly approaching in the northern hemisphere, I'm curious about how folks stay cool in the heat.

Feel free to say where you're from in the tags!

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 3: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

The winning option of yesterday's poll was that the adventurer should throw a coin into the mysterious well ….

"After nearly ten minutes rummaging through the disorganization at the bottom of his backpack, he finally approaches the well once again, meager coin pouch in hand. He meticulously balances a little golden coin on the tip of his thumb, positioning it just so for an elegant coin flip… With a flick of his hand, the coin wobbles off, anticlimactically dropping into the darkness.. He pouts, leaning in to listen for a plonk as the coin hits the water but… nothing…. silence.. A few minutes pass and he shrugs, moving to pick up his bag and just continue his journey elsewhere, when suddenly a faint noise echoes from the well.. an almost cartoonish plopping sound, like wet feet slapping against stone..? The pitter patter grows closer and closer…then stops abruptly. The adventurer cautiously slinks over to the well, only to find.. a creature of some sort, clinging to the walls, staring up at him blankly. - What should he do next?"

does anyone else have a weird fashion mismatch between what they think they like and what they actually like wearing?? half my style icons wear, like, waistcoats and wool trousers, but i'm usually at my most comfortable dressed like a bug type pokemon trainer. or a camp counselor.

[cleromancy]

one of the things i find most compelling about jason and cass as a concept is. like. you cannot convince me they wouldn't both *like* each other, as people. in any non-capes au i absolutely think they would and should be friends, or at least have the potential to *become* friends.

but they have irreconcilable moral differences, and even in story concepts where jason stops playing Pinocchio and decides to be a real boy again and as such starts trying to actually act in line with his morals--they are fundamentally never going to agree. to jason there is a line people cross and stop being people. that is absolutely anathema to everything cass has ever believed in, or will ever believe in.

and there's a lot of untapped potential for tragedy there because of that. jason looking at the shit hes done he never expected to have to *live with*, and realizing he's not dying again anytime soon. and i always say this but *my* preference is to take him from that to an antihero direction-- but i see a lot of potential in him at that point, lost and alone and so desperately lonely, committing *fully* to the villain schtick, or at least as much as jason ever really commits to any schtick.

but i also actually think theres even more potential where theyre both fully committed to their beliefs and they have that fundamental disagreement. they both want to do good. they will never agree on what that means. you know?

Justice oriented Dakota bot in the "I believe heros will serve it" in a "everyone deserves Justice if a good reason, even villians who been wronged by society" (but he still wants to stay a hero to deliver Justice)

i honestly think that's the general Dakota outlook........ earlier on he was definetly more "heros good, villains bad" but he's defiently got a strong "everyone deserves good and should do good and be just"

I will probably cave and watch the fall of the house of usher anyways but let it be stated for the record that I do not and never will like flanegans work

Started on a new anti-migraine drug today (ajovy). Also have had terrible sleep - Especially today, but, like, all year. Also, y'know the migraines.

So not 100% sure if certain things are side-effects of the ajovy or just y'know, my body being upset with many things going on in its life - But more to the point: Should I be concerned with anything that I'm seeing/experiencing?.

Trying to google side-effects is sure a fucking trip, though.

Official company line on their site seems to be "Some swelling/irritation near injection site" is likely the only side-effect confirmed to definitely be from this medicine. Anything else? Well, that must be someone else's problem.

Various reddit posts of peoples' experiences with the medication - Mostly neutral-to-mildly positive. A lot of not-outright-negativity, but disappointment or frustration about the tradeoffs vs benefits. But the side-effects definitely vary wildly in type and intensity. The ones I'm curious about are topics of discussion that have come up with some degree of frequency.

Various interaction/drug rundown sites have much more comprehensive lists, but also include a warning that the ones I'm looking into may be serious/concerning and I should consult my doctor about them right away. Which, like, doesn't seem to be the tone regarding them anywhere else. So, more confusion as-to who's out of step here.

Meanwhile, the pamphlet that came in its box actually does have a more comprehensive list of possible side-effects. Doesn't list severity other than obvious "If experiencing anaphylaxis..." or other obvious emergencies/serious stuff, then go to ER/phone doctor immediately. Everything else listed is just sort of "This could happen" without any level of how concerned you should be.

The ones I've noticed are heartburn (Unusual for me without certain types and timings of trigger-foods, but not impossible to be something else going on that's unrelated to this). And notable joint-stiffness (hands and feet, especially on the same side as my injection), with a touch of joint pain. Both of those are in the "might happen in ~1% of patients" group. Which, hey, alright. That's fine. They're known to have a connection, echoing what the reddit posts were saying. From the tone in the pamphlet and on reddit, I probably don't need to be concerned unless they worsen or persist for a very long time.

Uncommon doesn't necessarily mean alarming, though I am curious as to if there's any correlation in the group of people that experience them. Any factor that might predict it, or explain why they're causing this reaction, y'know?

Okay. Good. No need to panic. Probably should sleep though. Less than 4 hours in the last 48 can't be good for me.

[aster-is-confused]

the spectrum of opinions i get on my dash about the US election is absolutely wild

like within 30 seconds of scrolling i'll see takes ranging from "if you vote for anyone you are morally bad and evil" to "let's suck it up and vote blue, because third party won't work" to "kamala and tim are literally america's cool quirky aunt and uncle omg!!"
