hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

#ask #non mdzs #My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl #So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume #but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice #and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

He’s very careful! Everything was fine before you interrupted!

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #FJdlsafjdsf Handplates fuzzes my brain #I cannot tell you how weird it feels to draw Gaster with the Lost Soul head after all this time away haha #It drops me back into the person I was when I first read Handplates - for better or for worse. It's a very strange feeling #Even drawing Sans and Papyrus again sends me back! Not as strongly but certain little details stand out #Sans' eyes especially... Very strange feeling #Anyhow! Since Fellplates sent me back down the rabbit hole and I've gotten back into rereading lightly - still not a full commitment!#Maybe soon tho 👀 I feel like I always say that haha #But in the meantime thinking of the pre-Plates Handplates time period <3 Since that's the one I'm still most familiar with haha #I love when they're still growing and learning ♪ Scaffolded baby talk! Twin language! Love 'em ♥#And fearless* mischievous little troublemakers hehe #They're so cute <3 I love the little ways they interact as young'uns - like when Papyrus will just lift Sans by his arms lol #I'd been thinking about and then had to go read the one of Sans as a the blanket/coat tickle monster and then - this ✨#''Excuse me sir I'd like One Ticket to the R Rated movie I am an adult Monster'' lol #Probably another one of those moments where Gaster is just *nervously sweats in Dad* lol - stop being so cute!#Also there's no particular meaning to when I use WingDings for his text :P Just convenience and if I remember to lol #Comics where he talks a lot are not convenient XP I have enough trouble editing on this paper ugh I will Not miss it when it's done #Even attempted this comic in as few pencil strokes/erasing as possible and it was still a pain to work with! >:0 Rude #Doubly so that I've had a Handplates comic idea for past like - year lol - and /this/ was the first one I finished pfftbl #To be fair to the other I do want to at least attempt making it a look-alike hehe ♪ You know how it is with Ideas™#I can't be too mad about it haha ♫ It did turn out quite cute after all :3

I have made some sort of attempt at an alternate design so that Rêverose fits in the HSR setting more.... It feels like i'm speedrunning carpal tunnel (consider reblogging & donating to my Ko-fi, thank you!)

#Honkai Star Rail OC #HSR OC #Knights of Beauty #Halovian #Rêverose #Vio's Art Tag #Vio's OC Tag #Christ on a scooter my back and neck are KILLING ME #this took like. 2 days i think. took 2 hours collecting references #only to throw half of those shits away and ride into oblivion #idk if i wanna put this on artfight. i already have her actual outfit on there #plus i dont think anyone would be insane enough to attempt at drawing this #it's glaringly obvious why so many mihoyo fanartists draw those bitches naked all the time #anyhow i gotta do my laundry BYE!!!! (turns into dust)

friends I haven’t seen all summer

school year’s off to a great start lol

(well okay except for the fact that I have very few classes w/ my best friend and way too many classes w/ my various ex girlfriends 😭 but hey this interaction was rad! i didn’t fully notice i had legit built visible muscle over the summer until he pointed it out. I’m usually pretty lousy at maintaining workout routines, so I don’t often end up w/ much, but I’ve been doing my reps almost every day for the past two months and I guess it’s paying off! feelin’ pretty proud of myself lol)

#my art #rambling #reblog tag #personal stuff #school #cas’s newsprints #comic #lol I know I’m bragging and I’m sorry but I’m really proud of this! lemme brag a lil as a reward for surviving school ok #anyhow I proceeded to attempt a frontflip and completely fucked up my knee immediately after this so it all balances out #dw any time I get TOO cocky the universe puts me back in my place #(and I mean BADLY fuck up my knee)#(like “hugging it to my chest and hyperventilating” bad)#(like “i woulda probably cried if it weren’t for the giant audience of high schoolers around me” bad)#self portrait

Its calls didn't overlap with any other whales. It spoke in a mixed dialect, reminiscent of blue and fin whales, but it was talking to neither of them.

52 Blue: The loneliest whale in the world BY LESLIE JAMISON // spider-man 2099 (1992) #4 // Inside the Nail-Biting Quest to Find the 'Loneliest Whale' BY PAKINAM AMER // spider-man 2099 (1992) #10

#me when it coheres!!!!!!!!#gabriel o'hara #miguel o'hara #conchata o'hara #no tagging dana. who cares #this ain't about her #marvel comic blogging #anyway also please do not take this post to be disparaging towards gabriel. i hope the point that comes across is that among #three abuse survivors who have suffered in distinctly different ways all attempts at clear and open communication are failing #and in miguel's case he is sounding out at a frequency neither his brother or mother can hear or can hear and are not trying to understand #and that's due to resentment whether justified or not #for gabriel...#his behaviour is not perfect because he is coming from a place of extraordinary hurt and he also lacks the full story #anyhow. the tragedy here despite no one being dead. george left behind ruins

Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...

#Definitely not going to be able to stick with it just due to like... being realistic about my energy levels and etc. ESPECIALLY as we #enter the Evil Summer and it becomes hot all the time. But... one can attempt.. at least...#I'm also a very slow writer since I tend to re-read and edit while I write. and only move onto the next section once what I'm writing #seems okay. Which is easy for visual novel type stuff. since ''sections'' of a conversation are more clearly marked (like if you #have a menu option with 5 different dialogue choices. finish the character's response for choice 1 before moving onto 2. etc.)#Especially since when I'm done with a whole quest I always follow it up by playing through it and picking every option and making sure it #actually all works okay and etc. So I am already going to see it all a second time. Then I can go back and reorder a few words or remove #certain sentences that don't sound natural when I read them out loud (I always read it all outloud to myself since it is... just peple #talking.. it should sound like natural dialogue in their voice. etc). But my ''first draft'' is kind of not as first drafty since I pause t #edit a lot as I go along. So it also takes longer probably than it would take other people who I think treat a first draft as more #of a loose guideline or something. AANYWAY...#80F in my bedroom right now again... huzzah... I did end up finishing and recording that sims build video before the heat wave (or is #it really a heat wave if it's just summer..?? lol) came in.. but now... augh.. the editing... plus the costume photos and all else... Much #to do as always.. Often such a long todo list.. a giant scroll hung upon the walls of the evil hermit wizard tower..#Anyhow.. I hope I can finish getting ready for bed early in time to reward myself with a game of tripeaks solitaire whilst I snack on #cheddar cheese and some of those preserved artichokes in a jar. hrgm... I actually have nasturtiums (ultimate best flower) on the #deck again this year but I had to move them all into a corner today because the leaves were getting burnt by the sun lol.. Also am now more #cautiously weaving through social media to ignore all dragon age news. NOT bc of spoilers (I actually love spoilers/literally never play #any game until there's full guides on it I can read to plan my entire playthrough based on knowing exactly what I want to happen lol + mods #and etc.) but just because I'm so busy with my ownprojects I simply do not have the brainspace to dedicate... Yes I love to think #about elves and fictional universe lore. but no.. I pretend I do not see it. Does not exist to me actually. ghgj.. OHH also took som #cool pictures of flowers in the garden section of a store and I wanted to do like.. character designs based on the colors of the flowers o #something. but that might just be another unnecessary project to add to the pile.. I want to commit to the daunting task of dyeing my #hair again some time.. hrm.. this is all of the updates I can think of. As if a bunch of random tags make up for never posting anything for #weeks on end lol.. alas.. too warm to think properly I suppose.. .. I neeeeeed a long lost relative to leave me some million dollar #estate in their will so I can have the resources to move to a colder climate or something ..augh #.. but for now.. I shall toil away in my little wizard tower trying to write 2000 something words a day whilst sweating and such ghbj

So, I have mild aphantasia, and I always wanted to do an illustration of what things sort of look like in my head and today, while mindlessly sketching, I made this after deciding I didn't like the original drawing too much. I always wanted to do a full scene, but for now this is a mildly good look into it. I can't usually visualize faces and things look VERY splotchy and black around the edges, like a dreamscape of sorts...

#my art #art #I said I wasn't gonna draw anymore this year but I was going to do some practice studies anyhow #I just wasn't supposed to draw anything super finished so oops... I guess??#is this finished?#anyway I wanted to do it for so long so here it is!#my first attempt at something like this was actually 2022 #so yeah A WHILE #artists on tumblr #wmp.txt
