[brittlebutch]

kind of astounding how innocuous conversations with my younger siblings can make me feel like dogshit... what are the good things about being the oldest kid supposed to be again??

[sanguinarius-archive]

Hey! Could I get to know some of your headcanons about dickfigures/your designs for them? :D

ya ya sure!!!!

i already have my designs for them up if you havent seen, here they are!

as for headcanons idk how long this post will be so ill just add a read more for anyone who might not wanna scroll thru it all lol

red!!!!!

his real name is rowan bc i thought it was cute, also it means “little red one” which is eVEN BETTER

he’s nonbinary masc and bisexual! the self projection is REAL

he has adhd

most of my headcanons kinda flow into my own version of dick figures because i’m not very Satisfied with canon NJSJDNSKM so like. for example red doesn’t just kill people or whatever. he gets into fights and has scars and wears bandaids a lot bc of them

he graduated college with blue, he got a bachelor’s degree in fine arts (honestly idk how college works bc im a grade 10 baby so if thats like totally wrong just let me know also im. canadian so idk how american school system works LOL)

red got suspended a lot in high school but never expelled. mostly bc he got in fights that were mainly him protecting stacey from shitty people (he sees her as his sister so he was rlly protective) and the school wasnt really sure what else to do so they just. you know. suspended him a bunch of times hoping itd do something but it didnt

he hates his dad! reason being is bc when he was born, his dad was actually an alien able to disguise himself as human, so he wanted to take red back to his home planet cuz red turned out to be more powerful than anything his dad had ever seen. but red’s mom was like Nope, so she snuck out with him and his plush cat (kitty amazing) and they were never found. red is very close with his mom and is scared of his dad coming back someday

we know he canonically likes rlly loud music so im just gonna project here and say he’s a metalhead. at least, some form of it. he likes the alt scene music and industrial rock. examples being deftones, nine inch nails, skinny puppy, rage against the machine, kittie and others. it keeps him focused and calm

bLUE!!!

we know blue was bullied as a kid but i dont wanna say red also bullied him bc i feel like thats just wrong to me? MAYBE ITS NOT ACTUALLY but it just makes me sad so like. lets say red, being as protective as he is, stood up for blue a lot cuz he was like “oh this kid cant fight” so he knew what to do

blue dated pink for awhile but they mutually agreed to break up after blue realized this wasnt what he wanted (he came to the conclusion that he was gay, well, he knew for awhile but it was Internalized Homophobia)

he grew up in a very conservative family so to see the world completely differently by meeting red, ems (lt), pink and stacey was a very good thing for him. unfortunately even tho his family did love him, it was conditional so they stopped talking to him after he came out. thankfully he’d already graduated high school by that point

despite being emotional blue isn’t very good at understanding how he’s an emotional person. he’s able to distinct one feeling from another and analyze them, but it’s just... hard for him to kind of. process WHY he feels a certain way? which is what’s led to a lot of his struggles in getting closer with ppl

he loooves reading and writing we already know this but i mean come on. he also got a bachelor’s degree in english/ela. so he’s able to become a teacher ig but he doesn’t really want to? at least not for awhile yet

blue was ems’ first friend. at first he couldn’t understand why they had tics but decided he shouldn’t get into someone else’s business. he didn’t find it weird, just cool!

he and red would always pair up for projects if they had classes together!!!!!! blue would do the writing/research and red would do the illustrations. they always turned out really good even if it ended with red cramming it at the last minute

surprisingly hates broseph more than red. well i mean its not surprising, because broseph was always a huge DICK to him

blue’s real name is wyatt!!!!! i forget the meaning but i felt the sound of it and the meaning fit him well

piiiiink!!!!!!!!!!

she’s still in college, getting her doctorate to be an astrophysicist!

pink is very very smart and will help anyone who’s struggling with something in school. she was basically the genius who always got in the honor roll every year. but, she actually was really anxious especially with exams

pink encourages stacey to go back to school, and sometimes stacey does, but she always ends up leaving again. it’s a little stressful but pink has hope for her

she’s never drank one sip of alcohol in her entire life. she smoked weed once, but it felt weird so she didn’t do it again

ever since she and blue broke up she’s been very supportive of him bc she herself is bisexual!!! so she sees nothing weird about it. in fact, about almost a year later she started dating stacey

pink’s real name is lily. when she became friends with blue she met red through him and she was like “can i join your nickname thing” and they said “sure” so they called her pink. stacey sometimes calls her pinky or just pink but mostly lily

pink helped red with academics. even tho he was sometimes insufferable to work with (/j thats a Joke i promise she’s a very patient person) she didn’t give up on him!!!! in return he helped her out with some fitness stuff cuz pink was always insecure about gym, and later when she graduated she actually got into exercising bc of red!

she loves travelling and going for walks. she owns a lot of houseplants and she’s given them all names and takes very good care of them! she also owns an albino ball python named Velvet

STACEYYY!!!!!!!

stacey is nOT actually all about sex this time ok. i don’t like that. i mean she did have some personality in canon but it wasn’t much? anyways she just really likes to express herself thru tight/”risque” clothing like fishnets and leather and pleated skirts and thigh-highs and platform boots, all of that. basically she’s a goth girl but doesn’t really “act” like one

she’s really intelligent when it comes to animals and insects and will tell you anything you need to know. when she goes back to college she gets a degree in environmental science

stacey can play the electric and bass guitars!!!! she was in a band back in high school but it never really went anywhere beyond performances at parties in someone’s garage. not that she didn’t like it, looking back on it makes her feel happy, but she wished it continued. probably why she has a hard time going back to college bc she’s not sure what she really wants

stacey is a trans woman btw!!!!! unfortunately it was a little difficult in high school to be who she was bc some kids were jerks, but there were a lot of others who supported her which is good

she views red as her brother as well and they still hang out a lot

i haven’t really had time to focus on stacey and make headcanons and stuff for her so i don’t have a lot but... let’s say, secretly, she’s a scifi nerd. and for the sake of debate, let’s say she’s a marvel fan. if you count being a fan of deadpool as being a fan of marvel

LOVES GIRLS.... loves pink!!!

has very similar music taste to red’s!!!!!

emssss!!!!!!! (lt)

instead of being a stereotype of ppl with tourette’s syndrome, it’s just a normal thing that isn’t focused on a whole lot. it doesn’t make ems swear but if they get really really frustrated they’ll curse while doing one of their tics

ems is agender, i’d say they’re also ageless but i don’t really want to make them too “nonhuman” because i feel like that’s dehumanizing to people with tourette’s. so let’s just say most laws of existence don’t apply to them

they’re very friendly!

they’re an aspiring musician, just like in canon

ems is also big into horror movies believe it or not. they’re pretty critical of them though like most horror movie fans, and only like specific ones (i’m not a horror movie fan myself so i can’t say what Specific Ones they like ajsdhbjn just imagine they have good taste okay)

they r very artsy too and like doing crafts cause it gives them something to focus on. it’s just a hobby though it’s not something they’re Professional at

they love nature and flowers and trees and all kinds of plants and animals!!! they like to document what they see when they travel thru nature and stuff so they bring a camera with them (and their phone, but, you know whatever)

ems was never really affected by things people said to them regarding their syndrome. to them it was something they were born with, so they couldn’t bother to feel bad about themselves. in certain situations theyre able to control it but 90% of the time they don’t care about what ppl think

aaaand there u go!!! as for minor characters like raccoon, jason/trollz0r, broseph, dingleberry, they all exist (raccoon isnt a racist stereotype tho), i just dont focus on them a whole lot. most of my hcs for stacey and ems here were thought up on the spot since i havent had time to lay out all my ideas for them but i hope what i have here is good !!!!

also, red and blue ARE dating, and pink and stacey ARE ALSO dating. gay rights

sometimes and by that i mean a lot of the time, i remember how much elsa means to me as a character. in general she’s very mediocre in comparison to others, but she was there for me when i was hella depressed and she’s like a form of comfort for me now.

i was following the production of frozen for the longest time, let’s say about 5ish years before release? i was excited for it, i was disappointed in the changes made, i refused to believe the original elsa and anna leaked design images were real because they looked so bad, i read the script when it leaked and was mad at the conveluded plot.

but the movie came out during the semester of art school i got severe depression through. i had always dreamed of going to art school and working in the animation industry and i had a single thought that went in my brain a week before the semester started. it said i would never be good /enough/. it kept playing back over and over when i would turn in assignments. i did well in school, but the workload was a lot when you decide to take 3 studio classes at once. i started getting overly picky with what i considered to be good enough in my work and eventually stopped turning in assignments. sometimes i would have them “done” but it wasn’t good enough so i didn’t bother

i was living with my grandparents at the time and locked myself in my room to be alone a bunch. i didn’t socialize in classes and who i considered friends were out of reach. i had just started dating my bf a few months prior and the time zone/distance/etc was a new experience altogether. i was constantly scared i would lose my friends not just to distance but other personal reasons not meant to be shared on tumblr. my grandparents gave me my distance and i just spent a lot of time alone. i remember skyping with dean and staying up all night with him bc i didn’t want to be alone.

i got more depressed over time, i was just sad. i would try to fill the void with buying things i had left at home with my parents. i remember i would drive out to the mall. i would get a pretzel to eat. eat it outside the disney store, maybe buy something after. if not disney merch, i would go buy clothes. i had not been eating much aside from the almost daily pretzel and lost about 40/50 pounds within a span of 3 months. i just thought i was losing weight for walking around the city to go to classes and spent a majority of the money i had saved up over my childhood on clothes that i have never been able to fit in aside from those few months at the end of 2013.

the day the game grumps released that one wind waker episode about dans ocd story was released during this time. i watched that episode and immediately started crying bc i knew i wasn’t okay. i had completely changed in a span of about 2 months at that point. i was sad and didn’t know what to do. i constantly wanted to not exist and spent a lot of the time crying and sleeping and starving myself. i called my mom and asked for help. parents tried helping but they didn’t understand at the time what depression meant on that level. i told them maybe i could handle school better if i dropped one of the 4 classes i had. and of course i dropped the history class and not any of the studios. i made schedules and plans to complete the semester but i still. felt overwhelmed and not good enough and lonely and sad and frustrated at these emotions because i couldn’t just focus like a normal person. i lies to my parents to my grandparents to a lot of people that i was continuing my work but i stopped doing 2 of the remaining 3 classes altogether. ended up with withdraw failures in them.

the last class was my life drawing class. i enjoyed it a lot. i took a train into the city to go to it. i found peace in the hour listening to music to get there. i would talk to dean before he went to bed on my way there and greet him in his mornings when i went home. i thought i could handle it and it was going well. besides for the assignments that were meant to be done at home. we had a final that was meant to be an illustration showing our learned skills in the class in a 24x36in size. not bad at all. i got the paper, had the sketch. i just had to do it. but i didn’t. when i was in that room at my grandparents place i felt nothing but emptiness. so i filled it whatever i could think of

my hyperfixation of things soon moved to the release of frozen. i had followed it previously and was excited to go see it. i had bought the classic dolls for the main characters the day they were released and left them in box in case i didn’t like the movie and wanted to sell them. my immediate family came to visit my grandparents for thanksgiving that year and i asked my mom if we could go see frozen at it’s earliest showing on release day. she agreed because i lied to her saying my figure drawing class had been cancelled for the holidays (it wasn’t bc we were meant to show progress on our finals)

i cried so hard so fast bc whatever i was feeling i felt through elsa. i projected so much onto her and i fell in love. it gave me a second wind. i bought the frozen soundtrack and would sing along to let it go on the way to the train station. i felt like i could overcome my depression as simple as that. but circumstances don’t work like that

i never turned in that final despite it being the assignment where “if u don’t turn it in u fail”.

i dropped out of art school, telling my parents maybe i wasn’t meant for art. i’m not good enough to make it in the industry if i’m like this. i was gonna go home and go to the local state college instead. get a degree in something ... useful.

i left art school with a total gpa of 0.9

elsa is a character that’s just. i never understood the popularity frozen had. it has problems. it’s ... not that great honestly. but elsa stood out for me. she was some sort of proof to me i could be happy.

a lot has happened in the past 4 years, but i can say i’m honestly happy. i have a lot of good things going on. though i think the most important to this story i guess is ?

i’m graduating with my bachelors in art in may. my gpa is back at a 3.6. i took 3 studios classes this semester on top of 2 art history lectures and made it through. i thought so little of myself and my abilities over the years. i never thought i’d graduate college at that point i was at 4 years ago. when i applied to my local uni, i had to appeal to get in because of my low gpa from those 4 semesters of art school. i spent 2 years there not knowing if i even wanted to do art again. but i realized this is something that’s always been a part of me. it’s who i am? and i want to use this talent i had to. make it in the industry. my dream for as long as i can remember is to make media for kids who feel lost and alone. it’s always been my dream and i won’t let anyone or anything keep me from trying my hardest to make it happen, which includes not letting myself stop me.

i don’t know what the future holds but i’m excited to see where it takes me

and it just happens to involve me and my fleeting hyperfixation on elsa asking for the olaf’s frozen adventure limited edition elsa doll for chrismas because i want to say i look at her and think everything i just said

but in reality i just go shheeeees my wiiiiiiiife i looooooove herrrrrrrrr

Diamonds.internet

Diamonds are one of the crucial sought-after items in Minecraft, due to their use in crafting the strongest instruments, weapons, and armor obtainable in the game. Pure fancy pink diamonds are in all probability essentially the most sought after diamonds that exist. They are extremely rare and priced accordingly. In contrast to pure diamonds, their synthetic counterparts are created in laboratory conditions. I Am the Band : There isn't any band. Marina is a solo artist. The "Diamonds" are her followers. All diamonds on this page had been chosen for their pure sparkle. Nitrogen could be current in diamonds in trace amounts as an impurity as a result of nitrogen atoms are able to replacing carbon atoms in the crystal lattice that provides diamonds their construction. The presence of nitrogen causes the diamonds to soak up blue mild, making the stones appear yellow. Nitrogen content material is decrease in diamonds which have been fashioned underneath increased pressure and for better periods of time. A diamond's minimize refers to its aspects and angles; their quantity, proportions, and symmetry, which affect how mild displays out of the stone. The grade for a diamond's lower ranges from excellent, reflecting as a lot mild as possible, to poor, with much light lost out of the sides or bottom of the diamond. A skillfully cut diamond will replicate as a lot gentle as attainable out of the desk (prime face) of the crystal and thus seem fiery and sensible. This impact on brilliance has a direct effect on the value of a diamond, and is a crucial issue to think about when evaluating one for purchase. This illustration exhibits how diamonds with the same form can have very different cuts which have an effect on the sunshine reflected out of the desk. Pure Moissanite initially comes from house-created by a meteorite that fell to Earth. These crystals are composed of silicon carbide. Natural moissanite is extremely uncommon, so moissanite obtainable for purchase as we speak is laboratory-created. Lab-created Moissanite is engineered to look similar to diamonds, but is bodily fairly different from a real diamond. The synthetic and real diamond markets complement one another and can co-exist. Individuals who want real diamonds with paperwork do not consider lab-grown diamonds as an acceptable alternative. Equally, those who are only willing to pay for synthetic diamonds at decrease costs could not at all times take into account actual diamonds that would price much more, even when the worth is considered a bargain. Instead of fearing the presence of synthetic diamonds, jewellers could play to their advantage by providing both artificial and real diamonds for a wider range of value factors and thus a broader client base. Harsh Shah on James Allen Engagement Rings Evaluate at Oct eleven, 2017. Superb evaluate about James Allen. JA is pioneers when involves online purchasing of diamonds.

There are two main non-profit gemological associations which grade and supply reports, (informally referred to by the term certificate or cert, which is a misnomer for many grading reviews) on diamonds; whereas carat weight and minimize angles are mathematically defined, the clarity and coloration are judged by the educated human eye and are due to this fact open to slight variance in interpretation. These associations are listed beneath. The Russian mining firm Alrosa has unearthed an incredible diamond find - a light pink 27.eighty five carat piece of tough. That is an amazing discover in plenty of methods. One is that natural colored diamond tough is tough to return by over 10 carats, particularly one among gem quality. Secondly, with regards to pink diamond rough, the corporate has solely discovered three pink diamonds weighing more than 2 carats up to now eight years! This discover would be the most costly polished diamond within the firm's historical past in the event that they determine to polish ‘er up. We can't wait to see what happens subsequent for this 27.eighty five carat beauty.

Hiya, first let me thank you for putting so much data concerning diamonds on vendor evaluation, I've been in search of per week now to discover a good diamond and am really struggling discovering one thing that fits my perfectionist wants. I was questioning when you might doubtlessly help me slim down my search and find one thing of their stock, I'm searching for one thing between9 - 1.2 carat, and was actually trying to stay in D,E range, however wanted to see if i may find something round 9-11k vary with out going under VS-1, please slap me if I'm being unrealistic, or if i should broaden my criteria. There's quiet a bit out there and I think I am somewhat overwhelmed with the quantity of diamonds I am seeing. Thank you prematurely, really look ahead to your recommendation. ~ Andrey S. Of course there shall be a marketplace for artificial diamonds however the actual demand for natural diamonds is forecasted to grow over the following 20 years (far out-pacing supply) as young people in emergining nations with "new cash" begin to earn more, get engaged and have greater purchasing energy (particularly referring to India and China). Yakubov concludes with little doubt that these diamonds are synthetics.

One thing to note is there's a main distinction between these lab grown diamonds and diamond simulants. Cubic zirconia and moissanite is not going to give off the same brilliance as a natural diamond or lab grown diamonds, since they don't seem to be comprised of carbon crystals. One can find that diamond simulants can have a a lot cheaper price tag than lab grown diamonds and will also be of a lower high quality. They have been very useful once I was in search of a particular item. I used to be undecided where to search out it and they assists me. I could not have made my buy if it was not for the customer support rep. I was looking for a pair of diamond earring for my daughter's wedding ceremony. I wanted a dangling earring with a french back. The rep informed me where to find them. They have a diamond shaped prime for the french back and a diamond form on the bottom. They had been fairly priced for the merchandise. I had seen others similar but they were a lot too costly for me. These had been one hundred and fifty which was in my budget, however they appear way more expensive. They are a wonderful high quality. The diamonds sparkle. They're in a silver setting which really makes them pop. I obtain lots of compliments whenever I wear them. Being merchandise of pure processes with very little quality management, mined diamonds often have a mild yellow or brown tinge and will embrace flecks of different minerals, referred to as inclusions, inside their lattice construction. CZ, conversely, is generated in sterile environments and are subsequently flawless. This should not be your solely determining issue after all; you could be holding a lab-grown diamond, or have simply won the gemological lottery. The earliest diamonds were found in India in 4th century BC, although the youngest of those deposits were shaped 900 million years in the past. A majority of these early stones were transported alongside the network of commerce routes that connected India and China, generally often called the Silk Road. On the time of their discovery, diamonds have been valued due to their strength and brilliance, and for his or her means to refract gentle and engrave metal. Diamonds have been worn as adornments, used as chopping instruments, served as a talisman to push back evil, and have been believed to provide protection in battle. Within the Darkish Ages, diamonds were also used as a medical aid and had been thought to treatment illness and heal wounds when ingested.

Enhanced diamonds, in contrast to top quality pure diamonds are natural diamonds that have had very particular treatments completed to them to enhance their traits, or their natural flaws”. One type of therapy is laser drilling, which is a process that removes minor inclusions in a diamond to produce a clarity enhanced diamond. This course of will sometimes create strains that resemble tiny trails, that are seen below facet-view magnification. The laser could dissipate the imperfection, or chemicals could also be injected into the ensuing tunnel to bleach away the colour. This is a extra everlasting course of than fracture filling. Nonetheless, it's highly debated whether or not this course of damages the integrity of the diamonds, thereby lowering the value of readability enhanced diamonds in the long run. Petra Diamonds Ltd.'s chief Johan Dieppenaar lately warned that it's still too early to inform if the industry had rebounded from the worst yr they had seen because the financial disaster. This is what crystals seem like earlier than they're faceted: notice their pure octahedral shape! Uncut diamonds are also found in cubic types. Manufactured diamonds, typically have laser inscriptions on them that distinguish each diamond. GIA licensed natural diamonds even have inscriptions on them. In that case, it is easy to inform them apart as a result of the producers let you know that it's lab-grown.
