WAKE UP,

HAIKU BOT JUST REBLOGGED ONE OF YOUR COMICS

BLESSED BY HAIKU BOT ONCE AGAIN

(here’s the post)

[dullahanblorboposting]

Baldur's Gate 3 spoilers I guess but

I cannot stress enough how amazing it is that Astarion gets to brutally inflict a bit of the same torture on his abuser that had been done to him (carve the '''poem''' into his back), but then ALSO gets to viciously stab the shit out of said abuser. Like, a lot.

And this is treated 100% straight as the good and correct option by the game. It's actually ESSENTIAL to his growth and redemption. You kill Cazador either way, and the visceral rage fueled stabbing spree is the GOOD ending.

This is very hot and sexy of bg3 to do.

you know what, pinned message statement, fuck it

this blog (and my art blog by extension) is pro palestine and i’m not going to hide that whatsoever

that being said, if you’re antisemitic and/or choose to actively harass jewish people over what’s going on, all the while claiming to be pro palestine AND/OR anti-zionist in the process, go fuck yourself 💜

[fumiko-matsubara]

What are your thoughts on Kokona? The girl from Megu’s arc in the manga?

This little shit?

Never liked her and never will.

She used Megu, guilt-tripped her, and completely took advantage of her for a whole year even after Megu dropped to Class E for not being given the time to focus on herself.

Simply because she refuses to admit that not putting in the effort to improve her swimming which led her to nearly drown at the beach was her own fault!

I've got a cousin, that I absolutely despise with my entire being, who is exactly like Kokona and it's making me dislike her even worse.

The way she interacts with Megu in that cafe scene just makes me so uncomfortable, it's borderline assault. Like girl, put that tongue back inside your mouth ew.

She just gives me the ick.

[here2bbtstrash]

i'm not even joking when i say you made me check out bts after i read ldomlt......[don't judge me on randomly surfing ao3 for good smut, and i hit jackpot when i found your fics, lol]

SHUT UP THIS IS THE GREATEST ASK I'VE EVER RECEIVED LMAO

LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU PICK A BIAS

[warcats-cat]

Please please tell me about printers, I would like to know <b>everything</b>

You asked for it /lh

Ok so some clarification: I spent three years at Staples working with a Xerox C70 color laser printer, so that's where my "expertise" lies.

FIRST OFF - DO NOT EVER GET YOUR PHOTOS PRINTED AT A STAPLES/OFFICE MAX/FEDEX/UPS/ANY OTHER OFFICE STORE!!!!!

All office stores (that I have been to) use laser printers. Laser printers are high capacity (meaning they can print loads of stuff before the toner needs to be changed), and use toner, which is a powder version of the ink that is electrically fixed and baked onto the paper. (Forgive the oversimplification) This means that the color will not soak into the paper/past the coating if there is one. So, if you want a glossy photo printed, you will literally be baking the color over top of the gloss, and the color will not be glossy. It will be ugly. I've made like at least 300 family photos and other shit on a laser printer. Don't do it.

Sometimes you can play with the printer settings (the Xerox C70 has pretty in-depth settings because obv it's for office printing) and you can set the color load to be "glossy" but that really just means a thicker layer of toner. It's a little shinier but not glossy.

Also, laser printers just can't get that tight, crisp color quality that an inkjet can. So many people came in wanting to make their Christmas cards with these ultra high quality photos and wanted them cheap and same-day, and then would complain that they were "fuzzy". Personally, I always thought they looked fine, but white suburban mom Karens complained all the damn time about the "fuzziness" of their fancy professional photos. Inkjet can get the crisp, sharp lines that you see in digital photos and art, whereas the toner, being powder based, just can't quite get it.

ALSO also! The colors on your computer screen will always be a little brighter and nicer than what comes out of the printer! That is because your computer is back lit, it's shining light at your eyes. Paper cannot do that, so sometimes the colors look a little "dark" or "muddy". Personally, I've seen this with really light lavender, beige, and cyan the worst. Combine this with the more limited scope of color mixing with a laser printer, and sometimes you get weird ass colors coming out. If you have a specific idea for your colors, inkjet is the better bet.

Tldr: get your photos printed at Walgreens or Walmart, or send them somewhere that specializes in photo printing.

There are two main categories of printers, Laser and Inkjet. You have an inkjet if you have a printer in your home.

Inkjet printers have the liquid ink in the cartridge, that's why you have to wait a little bit before it dries, especially for specialty papers or really old printers. The liquid ink can soak into the paper/through the coating, so that's where you get the nice glossy photo prints. ((You can also buy sheets of primed canvas for inkjet printers, which is super cool and I definitely have a bunch of it for some of my favorite digital artworks from friends)).

Ink can come in two types - dye based and pigment based. You have dye based ink if you have a printer at home. Pigment based inkjet is for like,,, the top of the top art printing. It's expensive as hell, but it doesn't fade from light exposure, like dye ink can. (Don't worry, the things you print at home are not likely to fade very much, unless you have them in direct light and never turn the lights off. I have seen photos fade because of light exposure, but that's because Staples never turns any of the lights off for whatever reason, and we had printed pictures using the poster printer to get the nice gloss without realizing.) Pigment based is also apparently a powder, but I'll be honest I don't know how it's fixed to the paper. I assume heat as well. (I've never gotten to work with a pigment printer, I only know about them because I was looking for good printers to print art and found out about them, then I saw the price tag and was like lolol)

When buying specialty paper to print on (like photo paper or canvas), you need to check the label!!!! There are papers designed for laser printers that can withstand the heat and accept the toner, and there are papers designed for inkjet that can hold the liquid ink as it soaks through. The coating on an inkjet safe paper is not as heat resistant as ones made for laser. If you put it in the laser printer, the coating will melt, and you will ruin the internal machinery. I have seen it happen. Don't do it.

Speaking of specialty paper! Have you ever heard of pearlized paper??? It's my favorite paper!!! It's sparkly!!!! 😍

Pearlized paper is typically for laser printing; I've tried to print on it with an inkjet but it came out looking really weird. It's shimmery without having chunky glitter on top that will fall off and go everywhere. Go to your local Staples and ask if they have pearlized paper, just to look at. Pictures can't do it justice. (My business cards for my fairies are printed on soft pearl, which is ivory colored, because I printed and made them myself so I got to do what I wanted /lh) We mainly used it for weddings and stuff, but I recommended for all kinds of stuff because I thought it was so cool.

Other papers: the two main types of paper you will work with at home are regular paper and cardstock. Cardstock just means thick. Both can come in tons of cool colors and textures (linen texture is my personal favorite, you usually buy it as 'resume' or 'business' paper.) you know how thick a piece of paper is by its "weight" which is measured in pounds. I don't know why it's measured in pounds, it just is.

If you want a nice quality paper to print on that's still flexible and foldable, you want to look for something that's 24-30lbs. Typical cheap copier paper is 20lbs, and a lot of the time you can see through it, i.e. if you print something double sided you'll be able to see a little of the text on the back showing through. I have found that 24lbs is thin enough to be more affordable (per ream), but thick enough to not have the bleed through. We had a 32lb paper that was thick nice thickness and super smooth, and we called it "ultra premium". It was nice, but I wouldn't print like flyers and stuff on it. I did a lot of booklets with that one.

If you're gonna get a cardstock, get something 60~lbs and up. 65lb is a really good thickness if you're printing coloring pages because it soaks up the marker ink and holds it nicely. Use 100lb if you're making a coloring *book* that's going to be double sided.

Cardstock cannot be machine folded without a really heavy duty machine, and it's very annoying because those machines are usually at the high-volume production centers and not in-house, so customers complain that they have to wait for their booklets. >.>

When working with business cards, post cards, and the like, you will hear about "bleed area" or "print to bleed". That just means whether or not the ink can go all the way to the very edge of whatever is being printed. When you design a business card or other card to be printed, you will typically have a bleed area, where you want the background to go a little farther than the actual size of the card to allow for cutting, but you want to keep any important text or photos to a certain area so it doesn't accidentally get cut off. The bleed area is not a negotiation. If you don't have space for the bleed, something will get cut off.

At Staples, our business cards were 2x3.5 inches, but the designs had to be about 2.25x3.75 to allow for bleed. The number of times I had to go in and manually fix some idiot's card because they didn't understand what a bleed was is absolutely absurd.

You can get full page size (8.5x11) printed to bleed, for things like flyers with special borders and letter heads, but those also require specialized printers that are at the production facility. The number of people who outright refused to understand this was also absurd. If you have a printer at home, there is a 99.99% chance it is not able to print to bleed for a full 8.5x11, and that's why you still have a white edge if you try to print something that is supposed to have color all the way to the edge of the paper.

My final bit of advice before I end my rant: when you're financially independent and able to/want to buy your own printer, if you plan on making your own art prints to sell, do NOT get an HP printer. HP is fine for general use, it prints well and it's pretty ink-efficient, but it's just not got the super fine quality. Brother and Canon are the two brands I personally recommend for art and photography; they're more expensive but they have a really nice quality of printing. I had to do a lot of training for HP printers and computers, and it's a lot of big words that mean very little in the grand scheme of things.

Honesty Hour. What alcoholic drinks do you prefer? Is there something you want to taste? Your recommendations.

sorry for the late reply anon!!!!!! i completely missed the notification for your message yesterday ;;;;;;;

im not the biggest alcohol consumer or connoisseur tbh, i started to drink a bit more now that im older and it's mostly just me in the alcohol section of a supermarket going 'oh this bottle is so pretty maybe i should try this!!!!' so you know. not exactly what experts do ;;;;;;;;

im still gonna try to do a quick overview of what i usually drink and hopefully it's gonna be even just mildly interesting!!!! OKAY SO

beer: stouts are my least favorite kind but i can drink pretty much everything and i really like trying new ones tbh. i'd say a leffe blonde is usually my go to beer for a relaxing saturday evening, although my ultimate favorite is the grimbergen belgian pale ale. i am IN LOVE with this beer and even my sister who doesn't drink at all likes it THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS IS. unfortunately the only place i can find it it's at a restaurant in my town???? which is probably for the best actually because the consumption levels would become slightly worrying otherwise ;;;;;;;

wine: i personally like white more than red, sparkling more than still, and dry more than sweet, so my go to is usually a prosecco or a pinot grigio. the one red wine i get from time to time is blood of judas because it's sparkling and it's from my region. also justice for rosé!!!!!! they just hate to see a girlboss win.

liqueur: my dad used to love liqueurs so i grew up drinking very small amounts of limoncello and vov and they're still very dear to my heart. also i LOVE any kind of baileys, especially the original irish cream, which is great with coffee or ice cream too.

cocktail: this is where my 'knowledge' (if that's how we can call it ;;;;;;) kinda stops. when im out i usually drink an aperol spritz or a mimosa which are both prosecco based, but i would love to try new stuff tbh. unfortunately i don't have many chances to ;;;;;;;;

that's pretty much it, i think. i do keep a bottle of vodka in the house for cooking (pasta alla vodka is just [chef's kiss]) but i don't really like to drink it straight like that, which is why i would love to try a lemon drop or a cosmopolitan or a white russian to see if i like it more mixed in with other stuff. also one day i will try whisky, i just have to commit to it

[the-kipsabian]

(saw you got a spam scam ask so I felt like sending you a real one)

I could probably Google this, but I figured I'd ask the resident Kip expert, when exactly did he start wearing the box and sitting in the crowd? I heard he did it for a long time, but he stopped shortly after I became aware of him doing it, and I hadn't been watching AEW for very long so I think he started before I had even began watching.

aaaa thank you for asking! honestly the boxman era is my favorite one, cryptid man my beloved, so i definitely have an answer on this for you!!

so for a little bit of background, kip got out of action around may 2021 with a shoulder injury that took him out for like a solid 12 months (i think that was the original timeline after which he was cleared to return to the ring, however they took a few more months to introduce him back to the programming). during the time he struggled with mental health stuff a lot along with recovery and other physical issues as at this point he was pre-diabetic etc., so it just kinda left its mark on him and his mental health negatively, which he then forwarded into his creativity to deal with it - hence how the boxman was originally born (at this point without a box, but the building blocks for the character were there), as it was his character to project all those negative feelings into to create this kind of like mentally scarred horror villain creature it was originally supposed to be

the box itself came around september 2021 when he was allowed back to the shows to just do his character thing and hang out in the venues - he says he took a lot of inspiration from shia labeouf with his "im not famous anymore" bag thing and wanted to do something similar, but at the time couldnt find a bag so he got a box on the way to the venue and scribbled the text and designs on it on the go. and then tk allowed him to just hang around, do these unadvertised meet and greets with fans, and slowly around the beginning of 2022 he moved into sitting in the crowds. at first it was less obvious and then week by week he moved closer to the front row, placed himself strategically with camera angles etc. until he returned in late august by attacking pac while having a fakeout boxman sitting in the crowd for him

andddd tragically somewhere before 2023 we lost the box in an accident (i think the story is that it got lost backstage and someone from the cleaning crew threw it out, but its unconfirmed? alternatively it might have gotten lost when they moved houses at that point idk) and its been gone since. however kip has been talking and teasing about bringing it back so. we wait. impatiently 👀

sorry this got long and probably added on way more than what you actually asked for, but heres a brief history of boxman for you!! 💜
