Brief rant about baby clothes but like... I'm looking at onesies for The Bean, bearing in mind that they're mystery gender until birth, and I'm realizing that at least half (if not more) of the stuff I'm marking off for the registry is listed specifically "for boys."

Why? Because it isn't pink and isn't fucking coated in frills and bows.

This isn't for lack of trying, to be clear: I do at least LOOK through the stuff marked for girls, and like. It's literally all pink and covered in hearts and butterflies and flowers with frills on the shoulders and leg holes or puff sleeves or flat out built in tutus or with spaghetti straps and little silk bows. Why am I putting an infant in spaghetti straps? Why does this child need a skirt attached to their onesie that I'm going to just cover up with either pants or (shocker) a skirt that I picked out. Like IDK can I accessorize my child myself??? Am I allowed to do a little mix and match???? Ffs...

I'm just really annoyed about the fact that I can't find any cute woodsy looking stuff that isn't specifically marked for boys and also isn't pink bunnies and unicorns (not that I have anything against either but it's not my vibe, and if my kid wants to drown themselves in pink glitter and tulle when they're old enough to have an opinion then fuck yeah. But for now? No.)

Anyway, loving the whole "violently shoving the gender binary down everyone's throat from birth" thing. Real cool, capitalism.

every time i draw them i have to go to previously drawn AND RENDERED art i've done to get their colors and it was driving me crazy to open up my csp files, hide all the rendering layers, just to get to the base skintone i use. then i decided to just add little notes about my headcanons that's it have fun

I usually don't paint anything but I bought Rebelle 5 and it's so good. Painting practice with my headcanon of Malevolent Arthur's appearance in S1 as a first contact with the software.

"Well Vico is a Spaniard so they don't get to talk about racism"

"Wow they're the only valid Spaniard tbh"

"I know Vico is a spaniard but I still love them"

"They're basically white, so..."

Foes.....they're Puerto Rican. "But they probably have some spaniard in them" yeah that's been known to happen with colonization, but that doesn't make them spaniard. They're Puerto Rican, they're a person of color, they deal with racism, they're allowed to talk about it, and if you "love them" so much you need to shut the fuck up and listen.

Oh, also? There are Spaniards of color! They don't deserve to be erased and told that they don't get to talk about the racism they face.

Also my back hurts from heating pallets around and then moving tons of mum plants yesterday morning. Had no choice but to move them myself, and the pallets was just lifting up and dragging over to where I needed them and then dropping the other 2 on top, the other stack I was able to use the pallet jack to move into place, and then I had to scramble to move all the mums back that were blocking the path and move a bunch onto the pallet stacks and I had to do all of this in 15 minutes lololol I managed it! Tbere wwerw still some mum plants in the parking lot at 8am but none were blocking the ramp/curb cut or path to the entrance. And then I had to move the mums id put on the pallets and move 1 pallet from each stack off to make a third stack and have each be lower bc they were too tall anyway. And then I had to put all of the mum plants back on plus more on the 3rd stack. These were the small 8" mums in lightweight plastic pots btw. Then I had to work with the astl who was helping me, to move the pumpkins from the steps display to the bins (after condensing the ones in the bins 1st) so that we could then move the 13" mums (larger, heavier) up onto the steps display so that the whole area could be shoppable and walkable and would look nice instead of like an explosion of mums lol. And then!! I had to move a bunch of pumpkins from one bin into one inside the store, which I used a shopping cart to do, and then had some help to move pumpkins from the other steps display into the bin I vacated so I could move more 8" mums up off of the ground and make the paths more walkable and accessible. Anyway so I did all of that by like 9am latest, and then I had to work my full rest of my shift after that. So my body is tired and I'm tired and I got to work at 7:20am after leaving work at 6:20pm the evening before which meant I got home at 7ish that night and then had to get up at 5 yesterday morning and I'd tried to get in earlier but that wasn't happening lol. So yeah I'm just exhausted. And I'm off today and tomorrow but tomorrow I'm going to the ren faire with steph and were gonna be there till 5 or 6pm, which means getting home at like... 7 or 8 probably. And then I have to be at work at 7am again on Sunday :)))) I'm thrilled.

what is it about a new brush that makes artists go feral

[nebulainatree]

I need to speak Japanese right now. Just found something and I can't tell for sure whether or not it confirms agent eight is the octoling in side order because I don't speak it well enough and can't read Japanese kanji at all . God damn it

Edit: By the way no it doesn't confirm it. Forgot to mention that outside of tags because I'm inflicted with the status condition "insane" rn. Holy shit I hit tag limit I didn't even know they had a tag limit.

Boothill:

SFW

he's such a gentleman! opens doors for you, pulls out a chair, kisses your hand when he sees you first for the day, it doesn't get boring for him at all. if you ignore some of his unhinged behaviors, then he's a perfect man.

like i mentioned in my previous post, he's VERY possessive of you. he does like to go to unknown clubs or bars with you to try out their best drinks in his spare time, though he doesn't have you attached to his hip (even.. if he wouldn't probably mind at all), he does keep a sharp eye on you. if a weird guy approaches you and you're clearly uncomfortable, he tries to intimidate the guy away and clearly let him see that you're his (aka placing his arm around your waist and pushing you into him), if being polite doesn't work, well, they have a rough night. not in a good way.

this man SCREAMS BACK HUGS!! since his body is like 90% metal and machines, he loves to embrace you from behind and wrap his arms around your tummy, while his chin rests on your shoulder. he misses the softness of his own skin, so having you gives him a lot of comfort; the warmth you're radiating makes him reluctant to ever pull away. boothill often finds himself touching his cheeks with his robotic arms, when they get warm enough - the feeling almost long forgotten in his mind.

speaking of back hugs: he's also very big on neck kisses, mostly giving than receiving, depending on how he feels, they're either very innocent and loving - very soft, paired with butterfly kisses, or biting you and then kissing it better, when things get steamy.

boothil finds it funny when his hair tickles you when he hugs you from behind. if he's feeling particularly like a little shit that day, he can annoy you the entire day like that, only to respond with "hmm? what do you mean? I'm not doing anything, baby!" ...don't tell him his smirk gives it away, but honestly, at this point, he probably doesn't try to hide it that well.

he DOES slap your ass when you go past him. EVERY time. it doesn't get boring for him, he likes the sound it makes AND how soft it is, bonus if it jiggles, then he's even more proud. he might offer "an apologetic massage," which you rarely agree to (but he'll try until u say yes).

if someone ever tinkers with his Synesthesia beacon, he cannot swear for his life. you might catch him trying to cook, spilling something, and then hearing loud "YOU LITTLE DAISY FLOWER! CUTIE PIE! CURSED FROG!" it's kinda impressive how colorful they can get...

speaking of his voice, he's probably able to manipulate it so it sounds the best according to your taste. although his flesh heart has been gone for so long, he still feels that familiar, warm feeling and squeeze of his own, mechanical one, when your answer is always the same - to modulate it so it sounds the closest to what it used to be, or that the current one is just as pleasant to hear.

he likes to kiss you. no matter where, or when. if he wants to, he'll get one, pressing you against him, cupping your face with one hand, and kissing your puckered lips. once you give in, he kisses you properly, caressing your cheek ever so slightly to ease any discomfort left, only to hold you tightly on your hips and whimper on purpose just to tease you more (i believe in boothill is a little shit theory).

if we assume his face is the only human part of him left (besides his eyes). In that case, he just truly loves the softness of your lips on his. he kisses you as much as he can, and will get all fussy and whiny if he doesn't get his good morning kiss, we-see-each-other-for-the-first-time-today kiss (note: this is not the same as good morning kiss), goodnight kiss and so on. yes, he could get it by himself, but he wants it from you first. he's just very stubborn.

watch out! he likes to draw blood on your lower lip when his intrusive thoughts win. he licks the blood off later, and gives it a loving kiss.

his hair is genuine, so he loves whenever you play with it, brush it, or take care of it in general. it's probably one of the very few human features of his, so if your boothill lets you carefully pamper it, let alone without flooding his cords, he's not only very impressed, but also very willing to indulge in more sessions.

finds it absolutely adorable when you wear his hat when he isn't looking. or, well, when you think he isn't looking.

N/SFW. minors and ageless blogs shoo!

the council has decided that he has a vibrator in place of his real junk. but if you're into experimenting and want him to feel a bit more, hm, natural - he's more than happy to change his parts. shape, size and pace - everything for his lady.

you can probably guess, but that's an absolute ass man. he sees you in tighter pants that hug you just so nicely and might go feral.

eats pussy like a starved man. he has no shame and licks, sucks, and fucks you with his tongue and THE SOUNDS could put the devil himself to shame. boothill always wants everyone to know that you're his, how you scream and moan for him, so in return - he never lets a drop of your juices go to waste, slurping and moaning into your slit.

he's literally so flexible, that he'll fuck you in every position you want him to. if it means he'll get deeper, he's on board. and probably on top of you too.

likes to grope you through your clothes. sounds very tame, but it really gets him going, and might sometimes cause trouble in public.. unless you WANT that trouble.

adding to the headcanon above - he truly just gets turned on by your skin, especially imperfections. stretch marks? he'll kiss them all, scars? he has them all memorized. when he touches you through your clothes, he already remembers what is where, it's like he's edging himself knowing that soon enough he'll undress you completely and see it clearly; he quite literally worships what truly makes you... you.

he. is. so. SO over when you pull on his hair. when you make out, when he fucks you - doesn't matter. DO IT and he'll go absolutely crazy, hissing in pleasure and grinding into you.

Random thought as an artist

do you also get the feeling that you look at some tutorials or explaination and it feels... out of grasp? Like, maybe it's my neurodivergent part, but sometimes there are some of those reels that says "color theory in 15 seconds" and they tell you "pair a color with its complementary" and I mean. The concept is 100% right. And I did 8 years of art school and a bachelor thesis about colors and of course I know this is like- just the tip of the iceberg.

But like- Does a beginner understand that this just means that color A have to be applied to a color that goes TOWARDS color B in the color wheel and not like, the color B itself for this to work or??

Like. Say you have a red and a green. I mean yes you can "pair" them but you see the color of the words I used? They are exactly complementary opposite. But they look like shit because there's too much contrast.

Like- since I did art school, I know that to find a aesthetically pleasing combination of color you need to take into consideration the % of saturation and luminance of a color in correlation to the opposite one you use (or maybe you use a triadic or complementary split palette) and also to the % of color A in the space of the canvas compared to the one of color B but-

But does a beginner know that???

I'm rambling, but yeah sometimes I see a beginner tutorial and think: yeah, this is 100% true, but if a beginner takes what you said by word it wont help them a lot if you don't go a little deeper than simply "just choose the opposite color" or "deconstruct the body in boxes and circles"

more rambling under the cut, but yeah, tell me if you relate.

Also the argument "just de-saturate the colors" I mean yes, of course. But It seems to imply we can't then use this red or this green like, ever. While that is actually not true. You can and SHOULD use them, just in the right AMOUNT, and with another color that follows the more in deep rules of color theory. But a 15 seconds tutorial, or an intro of 20 seconds to a 10 minutes color tutorial will not be able to cover that.
