Origami "Spearman" designed by Juho Könkkölä, folded by me from an uncut square of 60 cm unryu paper (painted with silver+purple before folding).

I really enjoyed folding this one! It feels very well designed and I loved all of the opportunities for shaping.

Hoping to take clearer photos of this one to post later!! Just posting before I forget. More photos below! Plus a link for collapse guide I found for those interested.

[Image description: A digital drawing based on the film Sing Street, depicting the character Conor Lawlor. It depicts a shot from the music video they made for The Riddle of the Model, so Conor is wearing his outfit for that. The gloved hands of Raphina hold a mirror, which shows Conor. He looks forward, mouth open as if he's in the middle of singing a lyric. The background of the mirror is green, while the background of the piece is an electric teal. This background also has red wavy lines on that follow the shape of the drawing. There's some fainter waves in the background, which are light teal and purple respectively. The actual drawing uses a textured brush, with clean lines and grainy shading. It's a dark purple.]

what would you say is THE soapshipping song in your opinion. more lyrics wise than sound

[hopeless-eccentric]

there's something about how the hard-boiled detective* both exists to violently uphold standards of gender and sexuality and simultaneously suffers from this because he's SUCH a parody of heteromasculinity

paraphrasing gill plain's twentieth century detective fiction: gender, sexuality, and the body here, but there are a lot of ways where the detective is over-masculine in a way that loops back around to seeming queer, so he constantly overcompensates. for example, he can't ever marry, because desire shows a loss of control/stoicism, and marriage shows that part of his life is now "ruled" by a woman. however, being perpetually single is also kind of loaded, so he has to be completely alone, because hes so driven by the paranoia that any meaningful brush with men is loaded with queer meaning

at the same time, he has this terrible desire for a person to prove his cynicism wrong--his constant self-destruction has to be meaningful. there have to be good people out there who make all of this worth it! fundamentally, he's too sexist to believe a fellow intelligent "good person" worth his friendship could be a woman, so instead, there's this buried homoerotic desire for "another good man" which again. he has to bury. because even friendship gets laden with dangerous queer meanings

it's such a cage of his own making. it's wonderful and terrible and fascinating to me

[funnierasafictive]

some advice i see a lot regarding how to tell if someone is a fictive or just a character that the person is imagining is to try to imagine them doing something they wouldn't and see if it feels wrong or if they flat out refuse but i was wondering is there any way to tell if you've just imagined them refusing? like, if it's more in character for them to do so is that not simply where your mind would go? how can you tell whether there's a person behind it or whether it's just that your mind itself doesn't want to cooperate??

Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer that. BUT, it does remind me of when our old host met Jaiden (not a fictive) and they read that a way to check if someone is really sentient, you do this specific exercise about balancing a feather on their noise or something. Honestly none of us remember the point of it or how it would have worked, but what happened was, Jaiden was already Real. He split real, Jamie just wasn't sure (thank you denial). Because Jaiden cared about Jamie, he indulged him and did the exercises. But it would go on for DAYS to the point where Jaiden literally told Jamie to just "stop". "I'm real!" and even if Jamie told him to do these exercises, it was annoying him.

So yes, having them do something they'd like is an option. But have you considered annoying them to the point where they snap at you?? SKDFJS

OF COURSE DONT like. put yourselves on bad terms. but its something to think about. A lot of the time when we're in denial, the person we/the current front is in denial about, starts getting annoyed, and then we feel bad about hurting their feelings.

So I'm not your therapist and I can't tell you what's what- but I guess you could also think.. "If I annoyed them, and they react badly to me annoying them, and that feeling of them scolding me makes me feel bad.. why would I ever make that up?"

Also give it some time. Sometimes if a split is new (or you think someone just split) it'll be hard to tell. Denial is a BITCH. If you already are used to having alters or system members in general, The fictive who just split WILL eventually be comfortable enough to be "concrete enough" with you, if they already even know who they are. maybe your brain itself is still figuring things out. We talk about splitting as a community a lot--where spliting is usually depicted as like this FAST thing. but sometimes its slow! which DOESNT help if youre trying to figure out if you have someone or not!

Hello - I'm a fellow artist and would love to produce my own prints, and was wondering if you could share what printer you use?

Hi there! I have a canon pixma pro 200! I should warn you it’s very expensive, I was lucky that a local store had one with a very steep discount. That said, I’ve had unnaturally awful luck with printers (going through 3 before this one each with weird and unfixable issues) and this one worked perfectly out of the box and, knock on wood, I have never had to play with settings or troubleshoot anything.

Stores will usually have a return policy or offer warranties so honestly I would recommend looking into what’s close to you and doing research on the printers they have in stock. If it turns out the quality isn’t what you want (or if it doesnt work. lol.) you can return it and try another ^^

If you want to try selling your art before investing a lot of money into a printer I know a lot of artists get their work printed by a printing house and shipped to them— I’ve never done this and wouldn’t know where to begin but its worth looking into i think!

Best of luck!!
