I don't have Photoshop nor skills, but do you see my vision?

Like. I fully support recreational and medical drug use. People can do what they want. Get a little high. I encourage anything that makes life enjoyable. It's all good.

But oh my god, I just want everywhere to stop smelling like weed. 🤢 I cannot leave the house without having to breathe it. God forbid I want to enter a queer or artistic space.

at least as far as french goes, learning the genders of things is entirely memorization. and yes, learners of the language struggle with it.

in fact, if you're writing and want to convey that the person doesn't speak french too well, you have them misgender inanimate objects.

there's no rules to determine a thing's gender, not even vibes; in fact, the opposite is true: for native speakers, which gender a thing is will then color the vibes that they associate with that thing. this is why i will forever associate spiders with cunning and motherood.

and finally, i've saved the dumbest for last: in 2020, there was debate if COVID is male or female.

Christmas card

Tidying up the next RP chapter today. Small spoiler: there are two three characters I'm very excited for everyone to meet.

Unfortunately these characters have a whole bunch of backstory, and more-story, and hello yes I am also elbows-deep in plotting a book about them (it may be two books - you see the escalation problem I have here?!). And I thought 'given all the inevitable space politics and the length of this potential thing, maybe this would be better suited for actual, y'know, traditional publishing in the space opera genre? So people don't have to read quite so much politicking with their romance?'

And then I thought, 'Nah. AO3. Clearly I am meant to subject as many people as possible to free space politics, for fun'. 🤣

(And this thing already includes an arranged marriage, backstabbing, enemies to lovers, slow burn, politics, politics, politics, spying, tragedy, characters earning happy ending(s), feminisation kink, drama, gratuitous use of the word 'wife', betrayal, size kink, 'is it true love if I don't stab him at least once?', and as much fake mythology as I can cram into this bad boy. 😭)

I have... become a little carried away with this...

The flag was already red before, but when I saw Kuea grabbing Pin's wrist and then KICKING THAT TREE when he couldn't get with her...I literally screamed RED FLAG !

So idk if anyone is here bc of my writing but good news! I finished the second (and last) chapter of my Jason befriends a crow as a homeless child fic and i only need to edit it (it will fr take me two weeks at least let's be serious).

After the forst one was published in april and i was writing the second since, i think that's a succes.

Anyway, we get a very protective crow, dead Joker, some pretty canon acting Tim Drake (but only for a sec bc that motherfucker pisses me off), Bruce Drama, big sis Babs and of course Jason being a badass ani-hero with a pet crow.

Thinking about megumi and mc, neck full of hickeys, slumping bc of their sore body and definitely thoroughly fuck by the itadori brothers, stumbling upon each other dead at the night is so funny 😭

Palestinian people's rights are being taken away because of Biden and Harris. You're a genocide apologist and you want brown people dead. Go to hell

I am in full support of Palestine. I hate Biden and Harris's pro genocide standings. But Trump is also pro genocide and SO SO much worse- and as much as i hate putting someone like Biden or Harris in office, if trump gets into office he is going to run this country so far into the ground that we wont even be able to speak out against the genocide without risk to our own safety.

It fucking sucks to have to vote for someone that no matter what is greenlighting horrible un-fucking-speakable acts- but with Harris at least Americans will have the continued right to speak out and support Palestinians. It is death and destruction on all fucking sides- but with Kamala there is less we will have to speak out against, and therefore we will be able to focus more on protesting the systematic genocide happening right now.

This is the first time i am of legal age to vote in this country- and I have only shitty options. it is unfair and fucking terrifying. I am just trying to do my best to make a fucking difference.

I'm sorry that it's all so muddy and unfair. Point blank- I hate Biden and Harris too. but I hate trump more. In politics you have to vote for the one you hate the least, because it is impossible to LIKE any politician.

For something a little different than my usual virtual photography, here's my project for the Horizon Creation Celebration hosted by @horizon-events!

I'm really happy with how it turned out - and I'm excited to see everyone else's creations! More info below the cut ↓

I had this leather bag that I found at a thrift store, but it had somebody else's monogram on the front that I never liked. I always planned to do something about it - and I thought adding the medallion from Rost's armor would be the perfect project. The stitching of the medallion required the most work by far, but I also added a little Nora-inspired feather-and-bluegleam charm to the strap.

I didn't buy any supplies for this - everything was sourced from things I'd already collected (...hoarded?) in hopes of using them in a project someday.* The medallion uses reclaimed leather from an old purse, some blue cord I'd saved from... somewhere, and red cord of similar provenance. A stiff piece of plastic from packaging serves as interior support, and a strong magnet is currently holding it to the bag. I may attach it permanently, but I didn't want to yet in case I decided to use the medallion somewhere else!

All the feathers were found on the ground - there's an obvious jay feather (Steller's jay's in my neck of the woods), a white feather (most likely from a gull) that I colored with alcohol ink, and what I believe is a pelican feather - you can barely see it behind the purple one. The cords holding the feathers were all from my stash as well.

The "bluegleam" is a quartz point colored with glass paint. I'd had an idea for sculpting and casting the bluegleam cluster Aloy wears on her Frozen Wilds armors, but I wasn't able to get a finished product I was happy with. I'm not giving up on it, though - hopefully I can manage it someday!

*Which, honestly, is a miracle. I finally used stuff in a project! See, keeping interesting things is more than just adding to clutter!

I shipped wriothesley x childe because he has been the only Genshin male so far who imo could make him feel safe and this was precisely because I felt I could trust him to not abuse his power over childe

you ever think about how similar Ron and Glenn are... like you ever think about how their arcs almost mirror each other, but in opposite directions? Like, ron gets better but Glenn gets worse. you ever wonder what would have happened if they swapped arcs and ron was put on trial and the dads had to go into glenn’s memories instead? how would that have changed things? (would it even change anything?)

because i have not stopped thinking about this idea... like, would glenn’s struggles be seen as more sympathetic if he was not literally being judged? would ron have been found guilty of being a bad dad/bad person? 

because why were they treated differently? (not a rhetorical question) why was one punished and the other understood? is there a possibility that it could have worked out differently? it is so so interesting to me to prod at ron and glenn’s differences, and i think examining their characters in relation to each other via swapping their arcs (either just the anchors or both anchors and finding sons) is like. really cool i guess.

I made animated stuff around 11 years ago and have forgotten all the basics since then, but it's still super fun
