I love the hunger games movies but they really took so much of katniss’ personality out. She is so fucking funny.
#her and haymitch have me crying#they cannot STAND eachother#katniss is so unintentionally funny#Suzanne collins is a genius. katniss is the perfect depiction of a teenage girl#the movies make her so aloof#like this is the girl who locked herself in her room and refused to speak to anyone after the performance for the game makers#everytime peeta breathes she gets so angry#‘what angle is he playing???? snake.’#I love her#hunger games#the hunger games#katniss

To Durge Bhaal is like several things at once: their parent, their god, and also technically their own self/original self. I feel like there's a couple of different ways of exploring that and think it's interesting to think about.
Like does your Durge view this relationship purely as a parent-child one with an atypical form of birth/conception, where the worship is just tacked on? Or is 'Father' a simplification of their connection? Does faith take prescedence, and you are a servant of Death, your sole reason for existence, first and foremost? Or do they actually view themself as the deity on some level, possibly owed the same reverence? Is it no different from a mage cutting off their finger to create a copy of themselves with magic*? How much of a division is there between deity and spawn? Are they anything more than a phantom limb? Which relationship (parent-child, god-worshipper, original-fragment/clone) is prioritised, if you put them in a hierarchy?
*...wait, did Bhaal cast some kind of modified version of the spell clone to make Durge?
#Fandom's old enough by now that all topics have probably been explored but I do not care.#Yes do tell me about how your durge thinks of this. Maybe you have an angle I haven't considered.#---- Vel prioritises the faith aspect. He is but a limb of Murder existing only to move as the brain (Bhaal) directs#A borrowed existence#And there's a touch of parent-child in that he views himself as a magical construct with a maker who is his 'father.'#But also as an extension of Bhaal all disrespect to him is disrespect to his Lord. All offense to Bhaal is also to Vel.#It's not really a parent-child thing because real people are independent beings born of others and he's 'not real.'#/durge#edgelord hours#babbling

Takao and Ralf for the 'Insane expression meme'
Takao doesn't know what his shirt says. Honest.
Anyways, I was almost lazy with this. Tried to do the colouring one way, almost did no shading. Glad I pushed myself through this because I love their faces with colour and shading.
#beyblade#This took me a while because I didn't want to do their normal clothes#and suits are hard even when not at an angle#but I started to think up a story that Ralf is THE BOSS and Takao is who he hires to deal with trouble makers#He has a sword but I couldn't figure out how to add it#not without extending the pic and I did not want to do that

The whole "Claudia is now his sister"/Louis' sibling comparisons are never gonna sit right with me because that's never going to erase the fact that Claudia exists as a vampire partly because of him. Their relationship will never have this clearly defined role of siblings in the same manner Louis had with Grace or Paul, even if he was their older brother and was implicitly given the role of providing for them as the successor and manager of his family's estate. Because Louis was never responsible in part for their creation, the reason why they existed the way that they do in terms of behavior and life itself.
It also makes his betrayal of her all the more heartbreaking in ways that him and Grace drifting apart never will. He was her father, and didn't provide emotional support for her. She had to turn the tables and try to assume the role of being on an equal level because of this failure but this doesn't make him not choosing her any less painful than it did the first time. Even as they shift roles, take or give emotional responsibility one has towards the other, the fact that Claudia exists the way she does because of him and Lestat will always be there.
#interview with the vampire#claudia#louis de pointe du lac#it's why in a way Lestat's whole 'I am your maker' rant is relevant#not in terms of him trying to keep his veil of control over her#but in terms of how no matter how she tries to shift positions; switch roles#put on the costume of 'sister/companion/mother/knight'#she will always be on a lesser position than him or even Louis#because THEY are her parents#even on a physical level she's technically weaker because she's in the body of a teenager#her given role of daughter will never be shed; especially when both of them took to physically abusing her#and tbh I personally don't like acting as if Claudia having to take on the role of Louis' protector/therapist/sister#is a positive thing in any way#it's basically his own child being forced by circumstances to be the adult#and it's such a fucked up dynamic to me#i'm not saying Louis is responsible for that because he had his own issues and then there's Lestat who acerbates the whole situation#but consider it from Claudia's angle: she keeps Lestat away from Louis for SIX years#then Louis takes him back; and even tells her to get used to it and to try to be more open with her own abuser#all the while Claudia gives him nothing but understanding and time; pleads with him to run away together#i can't even start on how his betrayal of her after the attempted murder is not only the final nail of the coffin#but the only result she gets after emotionally supporting him throughout this entire situation#anyway no offense to anyone that makes Claudia/Grace/Paul edits in relation to Louis#it's just that even without the ep7 reveal the whole thing feels sour to me in episode 6#because that is very much not his sister/brother protecting him; that's his daughter#Claudia should not have to do this shit on her own; she should not have to assume another role just to be considered seriously#in any way by either Louis or Lestat

i put her in miitopia bc why not!! based off the p25th anniversary nuis.
#miitopia#lizz.jpg#hello everyone. this is my new side project because i want to explore other creative avenues that make me happy outside of drawing#i have a minto nui mii but havent gotten around to sc-ing him yet#i really enjoy working with the mii maker!!#eyes are definitely the hardest thing for me... i find that the more stylized the eye is the easier it is to recreate :D#i'll consider giving access key later when i've made more or if i have a way of being like 'hey these are the miis *i* specifically made'#because i have a bunch of miis downloaded from other sources but idk where all of them came from... ue ue ue...#i kinda wish i placed the eyes higher up but oh well cant do much about it SDKLHDS#there r so many stickers. she looks a lil sillie from other angles. but its ok. fun game

Look at how much I can change the artstyle of this piccrew before I actually ever finish it boy
#the cons of being a guy who loves changing his artstyle after working with one for too long#first i changed the entire angle then i changed to lineless and now i wanna make it a core maker#this change. it will fix me i promise. thought that about the last one but this one's different it will i promise really actually it wil-#i think it really will bc my main issue thats been stopping me is the hair but cores are bald so#i won't ever have to think about it

Ok bright side of having to stay in the hotel: I really like their body wash so I’m gonna buy some to replace the one I have been using that just changed it’s formula (again) so that I don’t like it anymore
I have also realized how horrible this hotel is for people who are menstruating so I’m gonna write and email the company about it with my extra time today.
#Katie is rambling 2k23#had to ask at the desk for tampons#which is bad#just have some available in the rooms or the convenience store#if you don’t want to have guests pay for them then just have them available and don’t track them#you could even put them in the room with the ice maker and vending machines on every floor#and none of the trash cans in my room have a liner#so my options for dealing with biohazard items#is to put them in an unlined trash can that doesn’t look like it’s been disinfected#and make the maid service deal with possibly touching that#or I can flush the tampons but not the applicators#which you aren’t supposed to do and is a risk for causing a serious clog for them to deal with#or I can use some sort of makeshift container which is what I’ve elected to do#I would have used the bag that came with my ice bucket#but there wasn’t one#so I’m using one of the plastic cups from the bathroom lol#and I saved the wrapper from the cup to put over the top#like this is not a great thing from any angle#menstruation mention#sorry y’all are really getting the tmi tour

Gif Colouring Process | Ramking Set
There are various steps needed to adjust the colours of a gif. Good colouring can match tones of different shots, make colours look more true to life or cohesive, adjust so lighting is kinder to skintones and make scenes generally prettier to look at.
Because gifs allow for fewer colours than videos, it also involves prioritising which colours are needed in a scene and adjusting accordingly.
It can also be used for effects: subtle ones (like in like in gif 4: fading colours to highlight the focal characters in a photograph), or much more dramatic or stylised effects.
This is a tiny tiny glimpse of what gifmakers do when we refer to "colouring". 🖤
#flashing gifs cw#flashing gif cw#gifmaking#gif making#gif colouring#bee.gif#obviously I thought it would be interesting but I also wanted to highlight just how much work goes into each gif#also as a Not White gifmaker that is (mostly) giffing Not White people it's really important to me that I get the skintones right#so that's a huge factor in what makes a good gif to me#and each layer isnt just 'hit the curves button' or 'hit the selective colour button'#each layer is adjusted to that one gif specifically#unless it's from exactly the same scene and exactly the same angle you cant really copy colouring across from one to the other#you're relying on a person and a gif maker as a kind of visual artist to learn what's needed and what actually looks good#and I hate hate hate to turn this negative but it's why it's so hearbreaking when gifs are stolen or reposted without permission#and to counterpoint why its so very lovely when people reblog gifs to share them - or ask the artists to share!#There are some really great tutorials out there on how to make gifs#also gifmaking is really a easy to get into and it takes such a short amount of time to train your eye and create really lovely results#I mean it does make you go hRRRRR I COULD FIX THIS when a show or film lights something badly and doesnt fix it in post lmao#if you're a marvel gifmaker you're stronger than god btw#I justify fixing the shitty lighting in these scenes because the budget of my engineer was about 43p and a button#multimillion dollar blockbusters with teams of professional colourists should not look like that.#i digress#do not talk to me about the third gif I dont want to fucking know I dont care I never want to look at it ever again dghjksghjkrs#my worstie my behated#I was fighting for my life#I had to use red text on it as well because it dropped all the magentas out of the colour slots and it their lips went grey#like also because each gif is shown thorugh lots of iterations of colouring there are fewer colour slots overall#so the change is even MORE dramatic than what's shown here#but I made these mostly as an illustration of how much thought went into the set :)#hopefully the vibe still comes across anyway lol

obsessed w the fact that im desperately trying to research (for funsies, not work) this one civil case from 1771 where John Adams was the defense for this guy, and the only primary source on it ive ever found is from Adams's notes from the trial
and ive been stuck thinking about this for over two years now bc i want to know more about the guy who was suing for damages but he continues to elude me, but I keep talking about the case w people bc everything about it is so chaotic
and i just realized the other day "oh, Adams's diaries are digitized and searchable, maybe he has more details in there, surely this was Notable"
and the only day of the trial he even mentions it, hes just like. the court sat today. and lists what he had for dinner and details a discussion of chickens he had w his in-laws.
#the legal scholar who annotated the trial notes: this element is unusual. this is also strange. the atmosphere must have been weirdly casual#me: this is so mucg that i cant stop talking about it to all my friends and coworkers despite being 2 pages of notes#how has only one modern historian written about this and its like. barely anything in some gay publication???#john adams: i have no idea what youre talking about#its gray v. pitts (1771) if u even care#messages from the ouija board#i just NEED to know more about john gray bc it doesnt seem like hes the ropemaker john gray#it sounds like hes either working at a peruke-makers or the customs house next door? but its such a tangled mess of details#currently my angle is to figure out who everyone involved is bc its a lot of young apprentices & some potential brothel patrons?#but also then like. straight up founding fathers.#cant keep johnny down 1771 edition

Unfortunately I am continuing to think about Them
#this morning's meditations are on how unfortunate the trapper complex rly is because if you'd been able to just#slide this fresh-out-of-residency sponge in between a hyperfocused miracle maker and an older and experienced thoracic specialist#and leave them alone for a while like i think beej would've been so vividly excited by to soak up everything there was to learn#like beej literally was still in training mode brain like if anyone was gonna be ready to drown in new knowledge and methods it was him#i also have a lot of very amused thoughts about how beej literally left residency came into a war and assumed he was the best#probably primarily FROM how much he soaked up from how hawk kept cheating death at every angle#like i keep thinking about that clip about beej INSISTING he's just as good at being the best as hawk is and i'm like#YOU LITERALLY WENT STRAIGHT FROM YOUR LAST YEAR OF TRAINING DIRECTLY INTO A WAR#and i know part of that is just being top 10 in your class in every situation and being quite bright and privileged besides#but i just look forward for an opportunity in stae post-war to lock beej and trap in a procedure together in a hospital#and really let beej be forced to see how much there really is to respect in how trap deals with his craft#ps if you read this far i'm sorry about how much worse i'm going to make the trapper complex in the update tomorrow i love you#my ramblings

someone at work: how do you know so much about computers me, who pirated a lot of shit when i was a teenager: oh you know. college
#jamie has made a statement#i also got into gif making at one point and let me tell you. the method i had was ridiculously difficult#photoshop cs6 can kiss my ass their system was so bad for making gifs#it worked but at what cost (having to use windows movie maker to cut clips so i could find the 30 frames i needed)#(as opposed to just uhhhh trying to use my mouse at a pixel perfect angle to get anyhting less than 140 frames to load within 10 minutes)
