Idea Idea! Alternative Career Path

6 September 2023, 3.51pm 🌧️

It’s raining and I just missed the train. The sky is weeping and its dreary tears slant over the faded buildings, the shuddering trees, the brown, barren fields. Hanging from the ceiling is a small monitor that shows the waiting time. A public service advertisement is playing. IF YOU MOLEST, WE WILL ARREST. The words flash in large red font over a scene of a man being led away in handcuffs. I laugh, then wonder how much the actor playing the molester was paid.

Sam is Adopted

So! Have you ever noticed how Sam doesn't look like either of her Parents? Her Mom and Dad are Blonde and Ginger, and neither of them have Purple Eyes. How would Sam ever come from either of them?

She tells people that she dyes her Hair and wears Contacts, but the reality is that she was adopted as a baby by them. They had just found out that Pamela was Infertile and they wanted an Heir foe their company, so they decided to Adopt a kid.

But the Adoption Agency didn't have any kids who would realistically look like them, so they just got the first kid they found.

She had been left at the Orphanage by her Mother citing an inability to raise her and an unstable income. She never told the Agency her name, but told them that the baby's name was Sam, named after her Grandfather.

Sam was raised knowing that she was Adopted, but never really put much interest into it. Until one day when she decided that her adoptive Parents support of the Anti Ecto Acts was a step too far for her. She took an Ancestry DNA Test to see if she could find her Bio Mom to get away from them.

The results came back, and she found out that her Mom was a woman from Metropolis named Lois Lane.

We are working. Yeah, it is quite late. 22:30. The team had to go because at 22:00 there's a curfew so all the team needs to go back. And I've got quite a lot of work to do, because today wasn't a great day, in terms of low fuel pace, and now it's all about analyzing the driving, the different set-ups. Adjust the driving, and should be fine for qualy.

what’s your process when drawing simplified and/or detailed backgrounds? any tips or tutorials? thanks!

the tiktok art critics are gonna crucify me for this one but genuinely my answer is that i trace. i find a reference photo (emphasis on PHOTO, do not trace other people's work) or take one myself, overlay it in my drawing program, and trace that motherfucker. this is what i do for almost every background. I've been encouraged to do this in art school. because most of what i draw is from video games, I usually either take my own reference photos from the game in question or use an online model resource like noclip to get the precise angles that i need. csp also has a bunch of free 3d models of like classrooms and other common buildings. there is legitimately no reason to kill yourself trying to draw complex backgrounds from scratch, and by tracing you ARE actually intuitively learning about how perspective works and spaces are constructed. in the event that there IS some specific background i need to draw that doesn't already exist somewhere, i find a reference photo with similar vibes/perspective and alter it to fit my needs during the tracing process (i.e. if i need like. a very specifically furnished room that doesn't exist anywhere but my head, i find just a regular room in the perspective i need and then add the right furniture in as i go. i've also gotten very good at frankensteining reference pictures together, which, again is a literal actual skill they teach you in art school if you get an illustration degree.)

the most important thing in terms of backgrounds imo is making it so your characters don't look out of place in your backgrounds. the only foolproof way i know how to do this is to draw the background FIRST, and THEN put the character into it. trying to draw a scene around a character is always going to look a little off, imo, and it will almost always be easier to account for perspective on a character than on a full scene. I also like to color my characters either at the same time as my backgrounds or after the backgrounds, because, again, it's much easier (and makes more sense in terms of how lighting and color work) to adjust a character's color palette to fit a background & lighting situation than it is to do it the other way around.

something that really pisses me off is this headcanon that ice would have been or was against mav pulling bradley’s papers for the academy.

like i’m sorry but I need some of you to think for a second. this is a man whose jet wash indirectly also led to the accident that resulted in goose’s death and probably carried that guilt for half his life too. this is also the man who was there to watch mav and carole grieve for the brother/husband they lost for YEARS. not to mention he was close to goose as well since they were both at the academy. like he would have wanted to protect bradley just as much as mav did when he made the decision to pull the papers. it’s a dumb moment for both of them but again. 100% they would have both thought they were doing the right thing for bradley.

got smacked in the face yesterday by an almost fully-formed fic idea-- modern wyllstarion Baldur's Gate AU. Wyll is a longtime public defense attorney and Astarion is a semi-regular client over the years, but Wyll still knows very little about him. One day Wyll sees him again in lockup on what he thinks is another minor street-level thing, but it turns out to be big and ties into high-level conspiracies which involve magic/the hells/etc that most everyone thinks faded away a long time ago. Wyll has to protect Astarion within the legal system/against forces trying to use him, and eventually using the powers he pacted for as a teen but tried to never use. My current fic should be wrapping up in the next week or two so excited to get going on this-- I'm a public defender myself so I think I can bring some nice authenticity to it!

"potc is a story focused on pirates and from their pov so no surprise that people hate guys like Beckett, Mercer or Norrington"

me: Sunshines, whoah, whoah, stop. If you mean old Norrington (Lawrence) - agree. But Norrie? Jamie?! Just look around, please. So many people love him. It's our guy. Some of us love him as much as we love some pirates (well, he was a pirate too, wasn't he). And for sure there are some pirates we love less than him.

Why is he even compared to Beckett? He's not like Beckett, he's Beckett's opposite (what he proves in the story) and that's one of many reasons why we love him ♥️

Dresshistorynerd you’re so cool

I have an undergrad in architecture and throughout college i loved the art and architecture history classes.

I realize I have a passion for history but now I wonder, should I go for graduate school and study something more towards history or shouldI just keep it a hobby

Sorry i know this is kind of unrelated to your blog khgrubdt

Aaaw thank you so much!! ;-; <3

I'm perhaps not the best person to give advice on that because it sounds like you live in a country with a very different education system. In Finland you can do basically nothing as an architect with an undergrad degree (and with every other field too masters degree is typical if not expected), so we get automatically to the masters program once we have finished bachelor's degree. But I assume it's different from where you live. Also we have free university (we pay like 100 euros per year) so if studying is free or very cheap, then I could very easily recommend studying further. University access and resources make learning so much easier.

But regardless if I were you I would think about what I want to do with history. Do I want to redirect my career towards restoration or historical assessments of buildings etc. or do I want to just learn more about history and do different things as a career? If going back to school is not a huge financial risk/burden, the answer might only matter in a sense that what program/school you would go to. In Finland we don't have a separate degree for architectural history, but in my university we have a specialization inside architecture degree for that, for which I'm starting the masters studies in the fall.

I would mostly try to figure out if there is something in the historical/architectural history field you would rather do as your career than the path you are on right now, while also taking into account realism and finances. If there isn't or it's not viable or practical option, you can always just study history as a hobby and/or incorporate historical knowledge of architecture you accumulate in your free time into your career as an architect. I did my bachelor's thesis on historical architecture specifically from the angle on what we could learn from it to make our contemporary architecture more sustainable and better. The answer is a lot. Studying history as a hobby too could end up being helpful even in your current career path.
