🎉 Happy Birthday, me! 🎊 🐌🎂 (I figured I'd attempt to be nice and celebratory of the birthday vs. staying quiet and brooding about it all day. Try to be positive.) 🫠

In the IRL-ish world: (And I hate to do this, but again, trying to be positive...!) If you'd like to show a little love, I have a ✨ Ko-fi ✨ where you are more than welcome to buy me a coffee (or give me the money to buy one) that I can have with the cake, because boy howdy, is a coffee with a touch of cream or straight black just divine with a slice of cake. ☕🎂 (Or any dessert, really. Bitter + sweet combo enjoyer - in every sense of the word, that's right! Sal gets it from somewhere.~ Haha!)

In the RP world: My gang are totally handing out slices of cake with coffee to everyone! Every. Single. Character. No exceptions. Everyone. E v e r y o n e g e t s c a k e .

🍰 🍰 🍰 🍰 🍰 🍰 🍰

Heck. Fourth wall is being broken and YOU are also handed cake. No escape.

💻 🍰

(Coffee is a maybe. I know not everyone likes it.) ☕ ☕ ☕

(Also, sorry - edit - caution: lots of pictures/art below the cut. Just as a fair warning before opening!)

Aaaand... 🫠 I guess to close things, I'll share a gallery of WIPs and art pieces that have an especially Ashe-y sort of Ashe to them and/or that I spent a lot of time with this past year - creating, learning, growing and surviving alongside and all that. Might as well celebrate another year in the life of an Ashe a little bit. 🎨🌌

(These aren't organized chronologically. They're mostly sorted via story/theme!)

While things may not be great (and kind of... haven't been for a while...!) I'm still here. Despite everything, I still happen upon new experiences that bring a smile to my face and warm my soul - things that I'm glad I have this chance to experience and memories that are worth making. 💙

So I’ve found a naming system that I really quite like… but now I have to ask myself if the new-bloom flower names still apply,,

The diagram for the classic Origami Goat, with a twist to make its horns curve ! It's from this video by by Origami Word, but it seems to be a pretty old/intemporal design that a lot of people have made. I could not find a diagram online so I made one.

(If you make her in yellow/orangy-yellow, then decorate her with red ribbons, you can make your own origami gävlebocken ! )

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

I am so grateful to work with a small team that I absolutely do view as family, including my immediate boss who pushes “home life first, work isn’t worth the stress, fuckit” lol

Nooo little Stanley watch out! Your striped shirt, bandage, and sad backstory are too Fallen Human Coded!! The Undertale narrative is going to get you!!!

Medical devices should not require an iOS or Android app to work. It took me twelve fucking minutes to set up and get my phone to connect to my migraine treatment device, 12 minutes during a horrendous migraine and I had to fight with my phone to get it to work instead of pressing a fucking button on the device. It might need a small controller to change strength but thats not fucking difficult to add.

Relying on a phone is bullshit: what if I'm out of battery? what if bluetooth is broken or something? what if I'm in too much pain to get the treatment app to work defeating the purpose? What if I'm paranoid about privacy so chose a non iOS/Android phone? What if I have issues with smartphones so use a classic cell phone? I know people that require that.

Requiring a disabled person to have iOS/Android in order for treatment to work is an unnecessary and borderline discriminatory practice.

Edit: After seeing all the personal anecdotes in comments reblogs and tags, I've come to a new conclusion— it is discriminatory.

Some league-playing friends were sad Viktor’s son didn’t make the cut for the show

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

So it’s Kabru right. Laios’s regent is Kabru. If anything happened to Laios, Kabru would have regency. He would have control over the kingdom. If he wanted. Because he knows how to kill people and could easily take that power for himself. But he won’t, because he likes Laios and thinks he’s a good king. But he could.

I didn’t realize Kabru had This much power. He’s essentially next-in-line until Laios produces an heir.
