I hope its not too presumptuous, but if you do want to get glasses, sites like zenni or eyebuydirect have cheap glasses for like $10-30 shipped which isn't too bad if you just want to try them occasionally or when drawing.
I know brick and mortar shops can be expensive and i spent way too much at them until I found out.
WOAAA 2 anons recommending the same site :000 i might actually try getting a pair since eye exams here are usually free so :D
#what we would usually do is go back to the ph to get glasses cause its cheaper there :3#we havent been back for a long while tho cause tickets r expensive :'''']#since ill b using them indoors the frame shouldn't matter much i think#franswers#froodles

I redrew the Utterson/Jekyll sketch that almost broke my scanner. The new one only crashed my photoshop once, which I'm choosing to interpret as a good sign.
Unfortunately though, as often happens with these things, I like the first sketch better despite everything wrong with it. So heck it. I'll just post them both.
Based on that fic I wrote last week.
#anatomy? I don't know her#what's that? would I like you to introduce me to her? uuuhhhh. maybe some other time. thanks though#that warm tint of the cheaper paper is actually very charming to me. I went too high quality with the redraw#besides that? not too proud of any of this tbh but I feel like I've spent too much time on it now not to post it#oh well! I bravely tried to extract my brainworms from my mind and put them on paper and that's what matters#Jekyll and Hyde#otp: nuoruuden hairahdus#my sketches#cw blood

also kinda sad i don't breast boobily more often because i know exactly the kind of cup that fits me perfectly and have nothing to do with this knowledge. many such cases
#in case anyone has the same chest as me: SOFT cups with just a little bit of SOFT padding on the bottom#underwire optional; i find it pretty comfortable in this style but it's not what's making it fit#it's the only kind i don't have to readjust at all; even the exact same shape without padding rides up#hard cups are obviously the devil. i think pushups might work due to the padding but unpadded is unwearable and this i think to everyone#i believe they might be cheaper to construct bc there's just no excuse otherwise#like their shape just leaves too much empty space at the top. it'll always gape#i used to have a very strict stance on padding but after learning more about historical corsetry and foundation garments i softened#and you can see with corsets that gap would be filled with padding and a corset cover#which obviously doesn't work for a cocktail dress with built in cups no matter how pretty and cheap it was at the thrift store#anyway rant over hope this helps#oh and the padding doesn't meaningfully add volume btw it just helps the tissue settle in place or sth

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 229/?
Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe (1967)
"And Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas:
'Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please.
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow'
And Mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow.
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
[...]
"Mama said to me, 'Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite.
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday - oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge'"
#favourite lyrics#bobbie gentry#ode to billie joe#1967#jimmie haskell#ode to billy joe#<- as this fairly regularly gets styled‚ tho Billie is correct and the spelling that appeared on the label originally#i overuse the term but i really think it's unavoidable here: this song is an absolute masterpiece of narrative songwriting#Gentry's ambition had only really been to work as a lyricist; she recorded this as part of her first demo‚ singing the songs herself#because it was cheaper than hiring a singer for the sessions. the demo grabbed the attention of Kelly Gordon at Capitol‚ who signed Gentry#and got to work producing her first album. the centre point of the album‚ and her first single‚ was to be Mississippi Delta; there wasn't#much interest in the Southern gothic tinged tale of secrets and 'unconscious cruelty' (as Gentry dubbed it) of Ode‚ and it was regarded#with little interest by Gordon (when arranger Haskell asked him what instruments he should add to Gentry's stripped down vocal and guitar l#the producer replied curtly that it didn't matter because nobody would ever hear it). Ode was assigned as b side to Mississippi Delta as#almost an afterthought‚ but this was the era in which US radio djs frequently chose which side of a single they wanted to play and the#unanimous decision was Ode; here was something special‚ a dark and tantalising mystery of a song obscured by the humdrum idle conversation#of an unthinking family. it ignited a kind of obsessive curiosity among listeners‚ desperate to find out what exactly the unnamed singer#and Billie Joe were throwing off the bridge‚ why did Billie Joe take his own life‚ why do the singer's gamily clearly not know about#their obvious relationship? Gentry‚ for her own part‚ resisted all attempts to glean further information about the actions of her song's#protagonist. she rightly tried to steer interested parties back towards what is arguably the real horror of the song‚ that unconscious#cruelty; a family that can eat and chatter and squabble even as they discuss the suicide of a boy they've known all their lives‚ even as#the clearly affected girlfriend of the boy (their own sister and daughter) sits in dumbstruck silence‚ unable to articulate her feelings#the original cut of the song ran more than 7 minutes and had to be mercilessly hacked down to fit a 45 single suitable length. no one had#expected much of anything from the song but it was to catapult Gentry to almost instant stardom; the forthcoming album was retitled after#the song that was now its focus; Ode went on to top the Billboard Hot 100‚ won a clutch of grammys and ended up selling more than 3 million#copies worldwide. Gentry had captured the imagination of a nation and beyond‚ but her success was tempered by legal challenges (from#producers demanding greater royalties) and a general dissatisfaction with her newfound stardom: it would last a little more than a decade#and include her own tv shows‚ more awards and smash hit singles; then just as suddenly as she'd shot to fame‚ Bobbie retreated from it#retiring from both the business and from public life. she hasn't made a public appearance since the early 80s‚ nor does she grant interview#but so what? if she's happy? i hope she's happy. she left us enough great music to enjoy. let her have her peace and quiet

#whY are all these people making lowball offers on all the houses??????#I am confused#deeply confused#they are not learning#Supposedly they WANT a house but you wouldn’t know it by the way they are acting#-_-#so far they have offered in THREE places and haven’t been accepted on even one#I am trying but I’ve had it up to my eyebrows at this point#You’d think after the first time their offer was refused they’d figure out ‘hey maybe we should make an offer a seller might actually take’#But no#they keep saying ‘I don’t think this house is worth that much’#Okay#maybe it wasn’t five years ago.#Maybe even last year#But that’s the price of the house THIS year and you aren’t getting it any cheaper no matter how much you lowball the owner!!!!!!!!!#They’re making people mad now#I AM ON THEIR SIDE#I WANT THEM TO BUY A HOUSE#But gosh golly gee they are not making it easy#😭

me offhandedly telling a friend that i’d really like to get a few of the saw dvds from cex to add to my dvd collection but being unable to due to complications with being a minor who can’t by 18s alone, to which she responded “yeah but is it really a matter of life or death??” while i sat mouth agape gawking at the audacity she had to say such a thing.
#i beg your absolute fucking pardon have ASD of damn right course its a matter of life or death??#hey it matters to me !#i dont fancy supporting big capitalist streaming services by giving them hard earned pound sterlings to view a measly selection of movies#i’d rather buy second hand dvds#because a) theyre so much cheaper and b) dvds are just cooler#like yeeeahh pirating is easy but wheres the authenticity??#its good when you want to check out a new movie or just slap on something silly#but if your watching a movie you truly love you want to honour it properly (with a flimsy disk with some pictures burnt into it)#yeah but some dvds have cool start up menus and extra content#i want a dvd room when i get my own proper place#its one of the few things keeping me goinf#anyway !!#saw#sawposting#saw 2004#adam stanheight#i just want adam stanheight on dvd who the fuck am i actually kidding

I am once again begging online shop payment processing companies to allow me to enter a separate name for shipping and separate name for billing!!
It's the same address, I'm just trans and have not legally changed my personal name, but I still prefer to receive mail as my preferred name! Like it's literally my professional name, I do business as my preferred name.
Annoying as fuck, and I don't want to chance my bank rejecting the payment (though I'm sure someone at my bank has put a note to allow it on my account by now, since I've contacted them a couple times before when I realized too late that the billing section didn't let me input another "address/name" section, and they said the payment was fine in those cases.)
Anyway, legal name changes should be free and non-advertised for everyone. Tbh, you should get a free name change every time you file your taxes on time as an incentive for good citizen behaviour. Once I am elected pres-
#i think the one i just used didnt even have a separate billing address option which makes no sense#guess they dont want anyone giving any gifts making the buyer pay twice for shipping like that#maybe it was a fault of the mobile browser but i highly doubt it since many desktop sites look like mobile browsers these days#just so fucking frustrating. what if i lived somewhere where my legal name would out me? (im in the closet rn so doesnt matter)#i dont want to fucking see my legal name. im already forced to see it everywhere else.#i dont wanna ruin my mood on a day when im supposed to be getting a package which should be a happy thing yknow#vent#transphobia#speaking of like i would change my name but i dont want to and cant afford the fucking ridiculous price for it#and i dont wanna advertise it in a newspaper either! shits expensive as fuck on top of the hundreds to file the court paperwork!#i already tried to do it once with money in hand and the receptionist told me that even tho it was for gender identity i could not...#...avoid the newspaper thing unless i also changed my legal gender marker. and i had to back out bc i have reproductive health problems#i dont want a gender marker change to fuck with my getting healthcare#(i did change the gender letter on my ID card later tho which only took a signature on a paper no hassle with anything)#it really really fucking sucks how all these little things add up all the time#especially when im closeted while living w family who wont even use my preferred name#the real kicker is that. both my dad and his dad used preferred names. my dad used his middle name#and i use part of my middle name. yet my dad even in death still gets the dignity of being called his preferred name and i dont#sexism at its finest#reasons why i dont even hint at being trans around my moms side bc i already got bullied by them for wanting to use my middle name#ive literally been asking them to call me my mid name since i was 12. and theyve been acting like im trying to be someone else#its the same middle name on my birth certificate they gave me. i dont understand why they wouldnt want me to use it#but yeah i stay closeted bc i dont wanna deal with the name drama amplified exponentially for gender#prob get kicked out too cuz theyre queerphobic as fuck and i cant work rn and dont have a car#id have to just go full feral and live in the woods with the lizards where i belong#Cori.exe#Post.exe#fuck lol just looked it up and u cant change ur first name if u get married. i cant avoid the fucking fee man. let me be cori#literally why is it cheaper to get married than change ur first name! bullshit! marriage has so much more legal implications#transphobic queerphobic aromanticphobic privacyphobic poorphobic shit ass fucking state ive literally been cori most of my life ffs cmon

It's been a while since I last played the original build of Wonderworld but I'm genuinely delighted to see it is coming out... uh... not soon-soon but definitely going along. I don't remember when it was started but the first demo was out in 2018. Sondro is slotted to come out late 2024.
Also I'm dying of laughter because the robots are Totally Not Scratch & Grounder.
For the record, the original game demo was Very Sonic Genesis (but with hub world and alt mode stages) while the prequel is more like Zelda II but with very different combat methods per character. Sondro has a whip but can use it to swing himself across some platforms. Juliana has a gun and can upgrade it to a twin-barrel riffle and something stronger. As for the robots...
Spike and Ballast are straight up Looney Tunes characters.
Okay I accidentally got the pair of them mid-spin but the bird-bot's head shoots off and the digger-bot swings him around in a crazy wide arc. And while flying, the bot can fire off the nose-drill like a yoyo to hit things.
I love fangames. I love indie games. And I love how insane things can get. It's very much a love letter to not only Sonic but other games released around the same time (or earlier).
#indie games#Kyle & Lucy: Wonderworld#Sondro Gomez#Sunova#gaming#Sonic Amateur Games Expo#Sonic Fangames HQ#and friends wonder why I love fangames and indie games so much#plus no matter how much this goes for it'll still be cheaper than any aaa title too and be even more fun and much more creative

not my White Ass making yet another Major Life Decision 😂😂😂
#i have decided that instead of staying in this shithole and searching for other jobs then eventually moving out#i am going to move out at the end of the month & go back to south carolina so i can live with my 2 hounds rent-free#because it’s like. at the end of the day. even if i got a better job and a better apartment#i would still be spending SO much of my income on rent#and there are WFH customer service jobs that pay better than target did#and $20 an hour is better than $17.25 an hour if you pay $1425 a month in rent#BUT it’s even better if you pay $0 a month in rent#AND this way i could afford to travel. i could probably spend a week in la every month & even with the cost of travel + accommodations#it would STILL be cheaper than rent#AND i wouldn’t necessarily even have to take time off work to do it#and it wouldn’t have to even be la. i could go anywhere#and i can see my two beautiful hound girls WAY more than once per year no matter what

rant about life in the tags
#WHY IS EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE and i don't only mean groceries and cost of having a roof over my head because i kind of#made peace with that. not peace as in it's ok but as well. there is literally NOTHING i can do to change it so stressing about it makes no#sense at the moment. stressing about it won't fix it no matter how much i will stress about it . it just won't but it will ruin my health#even more. but. to the point. i wanted to visit my family in october because i have a few days off. and the prices. of travel. jesus christ#i get that the era of cheap flights is over i understand but trains should be a cheaper alternative because we're supposed to care about#climate something something. right? but noooo. trains are more expensive than even the expensive flights. makes no sense compels me tho#i also found a flight that lasts LONGER than the train and the cost is exactly the same. insanity.#i am also looking at flights and trains for christmas and ....... things are not looking good my friends. i have nooo idea how i will get#anywhere. anyway. everything sucks<3#personal

i think my mom is going to get me a ps5 for christmas which would be nice so i can play the new assassin’s creed game when it comes out 😩 can’t wait to make naoe kiss women next if so 👍
#michelle speaks#the male character is going to have the fighting style i prefer in video games but idc. i will play as a woman no matter what.#adhd 1000% makes me swing my sword at it until it dies even if it kills me first 😭 i rarely use shields i DO dodge tho so it should be fine#that’s why i dislike dark souls games so much bc they don’t let u do that. and i LOVE doing that.#but i’m sure i will figure out how to do it w her too ❤️ i just know the male character is going to be more of a fighter build#& she is supposed to be more of a stealth build. if i remember correctly. idk. anyway i am excited to play it if i get a ps5 lol#i played mirage during the summer & really enjoyed it and that one made u do a LOT of stealth vs being able to fight ppl off#& i still liked that sooooo. my point is mostly just that i love whacking enemies w a weapon until they die 😩#also i say this bc my mom kept asking me if there was anything big i wanted for christmas & then stopped after she asked if i would want#a ps5 and i was like yeah i guess. so i am assuming that means she is getting me one 😭 the slim digital one is cheaper so thats why.
