I finished posting the unabashedly educational Sword Fic.
It includes a detailed (but hopefully beginner-friendly) explanation of all the steps of making a Nichirin blade from a sunny mountain like Mt. Youkou, a touch of swordsmith and metalworker folk lore (including demons), meta about what must make Kimetsu no Yaiba's swordsmithing methods different from real life methods, some character exploration for Haganezuka and his polishing method, vocabulary and additional resources in the chapter notes, and hopefully, an endearing, silly POV character to learn this all through.
#my fics#SWORDS SWORDS SWORDS#would you like a story about the years of background of this fic?#I was not very well-versed in metallurgy until recent years but my study of the Japanese language goes back to#well#longer than some of you may have been around#I always liked samurai and swords for the aesthetic but started to take more of an interest when I lived in Shimane#and on a day when I had a friend taking me around to rural sites associated with a legendary monster she was like#let's go see the sword museum while you're out here#but that museum was closed (it comes back into this story though)#so we went to a different one that no longer exists but that was my first encounter with how much work it takes to make the sword ore#fast forward years later#I am writing this blog and it becomes known as a fun place to read about Japanese culture as seen in KnY (thanks glad you enjoy)#I decide that I must tell people how hard it is to make the ore and finally visit that main museum on a trip back to Shimane#I collect material and struggle to do more research and wrap my head around it#and I write the first version of Teppi's story that focused mostly on the smelting and glazed over the forging and polishing and stuff#meanwhile I am in a job situation I have already long since wanted out of and soon I want out a lot more desperately#job searches were disheartening but then I found THE ONE I WANTED#and on that first interview when I was already like PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE#they asked if there's a Japanese cultural topic I could suddenly explain in great detail if asked#and without mentioning this blog I said I had recently written up something for fun about tatara smelting methods (and they forgot this)#fast forward again and I very happily got the job and was very nervous as I got the rundown on a very large annual nerd project#and when they announced the topics for that year I saw that tatara smelting methods in the region I knew them from was on the list#and I was like#asudyaiusdyuasdyuahduahduhsdhuPLEASE GIVE ME THAT#and i got it and when I went out there for research people were like#...why do you know all this...???????#and since I dared not mention my KnY blog I was like#...I lived in Shimane...#it seems I broke the tags because the rest of the story got cut off but hi yes you get the idea

#ffxiv#ffxiv wol#shadowbringers#shadowbringers spoilers#ocs#oc: yesui#it’s only impliedish but this does hinge on you being a Knower so#gotta draw more yesui and exarch stuff. the people must know.#essentially after getting accidentally brought back to life by him kinda#she went well since i can’t protect kiril right now i might as well throw myself at the next best thing: this guy#and despite the exarch telling her she’s free to go and she by no means has to stay w him at all times#it takes a while for her to be like wow. i can … do that….#cue her cryptid arc around the crystarium#she ends up assigning like. the whole crystarium as her charge#side note. she’s like. i have to devote myself to protecting [insert thing here] or else I don’t know what to do with myself#so a whole city rather than one person is honestly big steps for her good job#oh also she was another reason why it was so hard to grab kiril’s soul#bc she was actively batting the exarch away from it until he managed to snag her#so she was the last person to get mistakenly sent to the first#anyways that’s all my yesui lore for tonight good night

Work has given me the opportunity to be fired for the funniest/stupidest reason I’ve heard of in a long time (like completely disproportionate to the forbidden deed) and I’m so tempted.
#🎃 Cryptid sighting#tldr: I can get fired by being too good at my job. Yes really. fhgfhgchgc#I’m already out of there at the earliest opportunity- either it’s me quitting *OR* leaving with a really funny explanation-#- to give in job interviews when asked why I was fired#‘Well I was too efficient in maintaining a clean and safe facility for guests. You know. One of the responsibilities I was hired for.’#I don’t want to dox where I work so that’s about as far as I can go into it but it’s seriously the most disproportionate penalty imaginable#I don’t take kindly to managers who aspire to be little dictators anyway so this is testing my restraint extra hard#The allure of The Bit is strong but I must be stronger. At least until I have another source on income#Then maybe I can be a spiteful little bitch

This is a very serious story about a man named Stanley (Patreon)
#Doodles#The Stanley Parable#TSP#Just kidding I tricked you it's more silly fluff! But it is still about Stanley haha#Starting off with just some general doodles because Fun To Draw <3#I was trying to draw Stanley pursing his lips from a side angle 'cause lip expressions are something I struggle with and yup! That tracks#He does look cute tho haha spacey boy thinking in emoticons#More Narra floof - trying to even out his hair but it's harder than I thought! Hm!#The ''long side'' (really just the side opposite of his part) has more volume so it's hard to get them to convincingly ''match'' lol#Doesn't help when he has it all mussed haha#Sleepy lads <3 Sleeping together but so grumpily barely touching! No snuggles! Protect the chest and don't get cozy!#Yeah that lasted all of like five minutes once they were both asleep lol Stanley must cuddle the warm spot on his mattress haha#I'm quite pleased with that one especially haha ♫ Sin looks so open and unbothered and relaxed and his hand ah <3#Narra's so put out (but he does secretly like to be snuggled. He's never admit it tho!)#You might notice I also tried a different eyelid fold style for funsies in the first Stanley-solo and them sleeping together#It was in fact funsies! Haha#I still like the simple dot-folds but every once in a while it's fun >:3c#Capping off with more size silliness hehe - if he can go very big why not very small! Put a Narrator in your pocket and walk around with him#He'll complain the whole time that your pocket is cramped and you did a bad job in picking fabric haha#Oh but he'd be especially cute in Stanley's breast pocket <3#Also he's not speaking in that one I just didn't know how else to express that thought about Narra being So y'know? Lol#Cute lads <3

I use subtitles a lot and I SWEAR they've been getting shittier and shittier recently. The other day I was watching a doc on Netflix and deadass I went to look at the tv to confirm what I heard with subtitles and here WERE none for like 40 seconds and then it just picked back up like a HUGE chunk of words weren't missing and I was like wtf I don't even have a disability but to someone who IS hard of hearing or deaf these fucking things are USELESS of they're THIS useless to someone who DOESNT have a hearing issue like ???? How fucking hard is it to do subtitles (I know a lot of disabled people will do subs as freelance work and I can see how some stuff would be missed due to said disabilities, everyone has bad days, but something tells me DISABLED people aren't the ones skipping nearly a minutes worth of words being lazy with the subtitles.)
#winters ramblings#i assume something something AI is doing it now and doing it POORLY might i add#seriously i fuckung HATE when i turn around and the subtitles are either NOT THERE or they say something DIFFERENT than what was said#context is ALWAYS lost when things arent written verbatim youre nit a better writer than thr fucking show runners#right what the FUCK the characters say its your JOB literally i get doing subs must be annoying but like shit#is it SO HARD to not miss whole minutes of words for no reason whatsoever??? because they picked back up like normal???#like why the hell are they so shit latetly. they already sucked now theyre WORSE!!

Things are kinda bad for me atm ngl (work continues to be an absolute trash fire) but I am persevering. One day I will have my own space and a decent stable income and enough spare time and energy to start publishing my comic(s) and it will all be okay. I wish I didn't have an unknown amount of bullshit to wade through to get there though
#wastepaper basket#I applied for a job that would have upped my salary by 50% as well as being a 4 day work week but they never got back to me#so I suppose I must not have gotten it. Would have been nice though#Would also be nice to get the 6mos backpay I'm owed & the pay rise I'm overdue. Instead this project continues to drive me into the ground#I'm just tired man. Like why is it never easy. Or at least not so fucking hard

i am desperately trying to be more active but i'm experiencing mental burnout. just want to say thank you for the interactions even when i'm only checking in here now and again - i'll respond when i'm feeling better! <3
#nothing really happened - work and the house just got on top of me.#for context i was promoted to a management position in october and i hit my stride so i have a lot of responsibilities and i'm hhh.#having to play catch up in terms of skillset. i'm good at my job but i'm not the best - therefore ? i must keep pushing :y#as for home... Man (horse.jpg)#we bought a house a year ago. i envy people who renovate days after moving in. we're a year in and i'm only just redoing the kitchen floor#after a leak that happened in JUNE 2022. it's expensive as fuck and takes so much time.#i'm so fortunate to be able to afford a house but like. i won't lie. it's really hard having to be responsible for everything that goes#wrong with it. my kitchen has been subfloor for months. we destroyed our kitchen island trying to make room for the floor to be done#so we're down storage and stuff is just piling up. eh i know this is like. first world problem and really not a big deal.#but when your house is in disrepair because you don't have the money to fix it quickly or time to do it yourself. shit's hard.#anyway this is a rant. don't want a wrench or a tissue- just wanna get it out.#[puts on pantalone hat] i have money anxiety too#like i earn the most i've ever earned. i won't really get much higher than this atm. i'm due a bonus and i can cash out my shares#but fixing up the house is so expensive. i'm worried i'm gonna lose it all somehow. idfk why. when things are going well i worry i'm gonna#lose it all somehow. growing up poor does a number on your resource guarding. if i spend a penny I Will Lose It All.#' dima why do you like pantalone so much ' HE JUST LIKE ME FRRRR#sry this is a ramble . i treat tumblr tags like my diary but i hope you enjoyed the read xoxox#anyways! point is! i'm alive! i'm itching to come back but i dont have the mental space for fun rn.#can't have fun until i feel safe enough to have fun if that makes sense.#aight byeee

it is becoming Increasingly Clear to me that i can no longer be taken out into public because i will start doing to fonts what jirt would do to the rocks and plants whilst on little walks
#the worm speaks#i'm noticing that a lot of signage these days don't have small caps which is a bit sad but i suppose they are somewhat antiquated#most of them have just straight up all-caps and i'm like 'mmmm. would a small caps version be better here?'#the other day i was like 'what if i left everything behind to get a job at a type foundry in taiwan. what then.'#what would i bring to the table there? why a sense of western aestheticism for the latin glyphs in their fonts#combined with a lesser but probably still noteworthy knowledge of chinese calligraphy to help ensure there is a sense of unity#btwn the latin and chinese glyphs#and also kerning i would bring kerning to the table for the latin glyphs. like if we Must be monospace abt things we can do that#but on god. the number of times i download a cn script font and go 'ah.' bc the english is the Ugliest monospace serif you'll ever see#fortunately while it is a bit of work it's at least easier to match english fonts to cn ones bc there are So Many more free ones lol#the other day i was looking through a chinese font website n i was reading their ~story~ behind this one particular series#that they based off the calligraphy in these five or six Ancient Rare Books in the national palace museum#and they were like 'yes the poetry was beautiful and moving. but to a type designer the writing itself is even more attractive'#and i felt so called out. i have just the most incurable font disease on the planet lmao#the other thing i think that might be neat to bring to cn font design Would be the concept of italics#like i know that's just not a standard thing and that Makes sense bc to oblique the letters is just#like. why would you do that. it's hard to read. but the spirit of italics is to change the font style entirely whilst keeping in harmony#with the rest of the regular typeface which i think would be Neat to bring in esp since italics usually have a bit more flourish to them#the other day i also found out that fangsong is used in government documents n i was like#>:0 no wonder it has every character and variant known to man......

damn . internalised ableism got hands
#and in disability pride month too! disgraceful#anyway i can't shake the feeling that i'm a fucking disappointment#i can't cope with. anything#and i know it's. neurodivergence and physical disability and my Ever Concerning untreated mental illness lmao but#i just feel like. a failure. how am i supposed to cope with actually doing the job i love so much if i can't even get through-#-the leadup?#i can't physically keep up. i can't mentally keep up. i can't emotionally keep up#but if i say that it feels like quitting#even though i'm barely contributing anyway. most people there won't give a fuck if i never turn up again. i hardly know the blocking anyway#it's 6am and i can't sleep#my knees r throbbing n my brain is screaming and all i can think is how much of a disappointment i am#and how pathetic i must look from the outside. how much people must judge me and my fucking dramatics#because normal people don't have fucking breakdowns over the tone of their texts.#and normal people don't stay awake until dawn bc they can't sleep until the sun rises.#and normal people don't feel like they're walking on fucking shattered glass every time they go outside#i just want to curl up into a ball and scream#why can't i just pause the world. why can't i leave this whole fucking thing and come back when i'm ready to keep going#god. fuck#i need to sleep but it's rlly hard when my knee hurts every time i move#og#vent#internalised ableism tw

NO ONE WANTS IT MORE THAN ME .#quite literally. i can basically guarantee at this point there is no one more dedicated to applying to this specific hyatt than me#and I’m wondering if someone over there keeps getting applications from me and sighing like oh god this guy again#I’m gonna go in there with a resume some time this week but I’m not exactly sure where to put that resume or who to talk to#maybe I should call or something first#i hate calling people but. if I must………….#I’m not good at any of this shit man#also I need some nice business clothes for this kinda thing but alas I have no fucking money#because. I don’t have. a job#I hate this#kibumblabs#who the hell do I have to sell my soul to at hyatt for them to hire me why is this so hard#the pay’s really good too for a part time entry level job hggshhhh pleaseee I need money so I can move OUT OF HERE#the fact that I don’t really have business clothes aside. what I DO have will probably fucking SUCK in 100 degree weather fbshcbsjdjs#can you tell I’m possibly hypomanic and can not fucking sleep . it’s 5am and I need to fucking stop with this shit but gahgagshdhdhh

I hate Wednesday nights now
#ive become extroverted as a coping mechanism i think#bc when im around people im not thinking about my problems as much generally#or im able to repress my feelings in order to be pleasant which is why i withdraw when its bad - can't mask with no energy#anyway the point is everyones always busy wednesdays#rightfully so but. i cant really leave the house much rn so i can't deal with their very reasonable schedules#fuck! i hope to god basically lying low and focusing on healing this semester is enough#because i really must start a job search for after i move soon.. and then it will be fall and ill have to actually DO that job 🤮#scout talks high#the point is im so nonfunctional rn and have been for so long that the thought of being fully good is basically totally foreign to me#but god i want it not to be this way. i want it so bad. i dont care how hard it is anymore im doing what i have to to get help. its just so#so fucking hard#personal
