Also, check your local library, and get a library card when you do! Even if you never use it ever again, engagement and foot traffic drive their funding! 🙏

Beware!

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

#yes i want things to be free like ??? that is not a weird desire #'but but it costs money to keep up' ok and? how is that my problem #the government has plenty of murder dollars they could reallocate a few to make internet services universal if they wanted #also these companies were perfectly capable of supporting themselves before the internet got drowned with ads so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#edit: muting notifs on this post bc new additions have kind of petered out #so no one feel bad about adding something someone else has said‚ it is not bothering me im just trying to keep my #notifs page cleanish lol #also since i saw some people are being redirected to read my tags: firstly hiiiiii this is a special secret message for you:3 #secondly i have learned since making this that the reason they were able to support themselves previously was because #of investors bankrolling everything #and theyre now finally realizing that theyre never going to actually make a profit and arent as willing to invest #however thats just a minor correction and doesnt change my overall point #once again. so many murder dollars #so thats why im just adding it here in the tags rather than making an actual correction #anyways . love yall 💕#origibberish #bigger gibbers

catalysts, protectors

#man those episodes #so many things put into perspective #like Simon’s role as a protector and his kindness and empathy and compassion and existence being the catalyst for the rest of ooo to #flourish #and Betty is a protector of Simon #I wonder if the last two episodes will explore more of her character? there’s so much to be explored about her giving so much of herself #to Simon but not thinking about what she wants for herself #do we get to explore her feelings or see her at all? will she have changed or learned to let go #I think there will be some sort of closure for the both of them #but at what cost #I am still crying over that scene with Simon’s memory of Betty and their song #my art #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #simon petrikov #betty grof #petrigrof #golbetty

Baby that is not an enrichment activity

Baby... Baby no you... Child...

I know you like to play with crinkly things but...

Aaaand into the messenger bag she goes.

#snake #snakes #hognoses #hognose #pets #scoria #scoria rose #there's nothing dangerous in my messenger bag #and the candies are individually wrapped the bag is a stiff plastic she can't suffocate on at least not with me watching her #she really really really likes playing in bags and crinkly things #and has wanted to pay in my messenger bag every day #I had to put my drawing supplies in a zipper up bag in it to make it safe #as when she sees it she will wiggle and point at it and keep asking to go in it so it's just easier to make it safe and let her play in it #“Did you get any new things?”#she loves snooping in it #XD #that may be part of the reason she likes investigating bags #“Something new is in there!”#her sister hasn't learned this yet and is still trying to get over the world outside her enclosure being big and scary #Scoria just needs a moment and so long as I'm there she's ready to explore anywhere #we are the trope of the sweet little innocent girl and huge scary beast who will protect her at all costs #Scoria is the sweet little one

#good morning todays art is brought to you by thoughts of altaïr perceiving himself as inhuman for having isu genes #imagine being raised your entire life to herald death and then you find yourself betrayed #and suddenly you have to stand on your feet and learn how to be human #how do you speak? how would you communicate? youve learned the tongue of blades but at what cost?#(are you even human? can humans survive what youve went through? how much of you is a monster?)#my art #altaïr ibn la'ahad #malik al sayf #malik al-sayf #altair ibn la'ahad #assassins creed #assassin's creed #assassins creed 1 #assassin's creed 1 #asscreed #ac 1 #ac1 #altmal

teetering on the edge of "is this even sky anymore",

a ghostly train conductor and a runaway coven witch

#they have an interesting dynamic in my head #stoic serious fella who obeys the rules at all costs and tries to make sure others do the same #however the witch is a feral animal who hates being told what to do #eventually they learn things about eachother that makes both of them more lenient #but these two exist solely for my shipping purposes. im a filthy dog sorry i like my tropes #the witch was what i looked like in sky for a week but its different now #ill probably switch back to it i like the look alot :3 #anyway eeeehehe.sorry for rambling #i just love them alot <3333 #sky children of the light #sky cotl #sky: cotl #skycotl #sky:cotl #sky: children of the light #sky #original character

Icarus but not at all, you know what i'm saying? Does that make any sense? Do you see him? Take my hand, we're watching him fall.

Also a bonus little alternate that I drew first but wasn't satisfied with the emotional choices at ALL. and an alt color of that lol cause you know i'm gonna abuse the hell outta that green color as much as possible lol

#drawing kenny having a bad time again~~#happy ending for everyone at all cost but what was the cost i guess??? lmao #sorry kenzaki.... I'll draw something nicer next time aldfkjae my head is in my hands...#kamen rider #kamen rider blade #kenzaki kazuma #fan art #kamen rider blade spoilers #blade spoilers #kenzaki's a winner but such a loser(depressing) that's what i wanted to get across i think #you tried too hard bud :(#There are a few shots in the finale that i noticed this time and thought “kenzaki... did you go for a little swim bud!? dude no!!”#things you dont notice the first time when you're busy banging your head through your computer screen.#whatever the original intention... SADDDDDDD #lost a few screws on this one lafkjalekj #but I learned to draw a lens flare for this so there's that lol!

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...

...and also being able to read things like THIS:

#art #crochet #fiber art #described images #image description in alt #used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE #see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet #i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece #with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same.#i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean #plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece #one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it #*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost*#if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡#i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting'#did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO #i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3 #i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to..#...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

every time someone in the notes of that post says "GIMP is fine actually" i kill another hostage. and an extra one if they use the words "skill issue" or imply it's just a learning curve thing

#the learning curve argument is only useful for programs that actually offer more than easier-to-learn ones #gimp is asking for 10x the learning time of photoshop for 10% of the features when they both cost the same ($0)

I think the most amazing thing about Alhaitham's ironic question "How has realizing your ideals gone for you?" is that yes, on the surface, it pierced through the heart of Kaveh's feelings at the time and forced him to reflect on whether he still had enough belief to keep going, but--BUT--

This is also Alhaitham subtly asking: "Was your life better without me?"

Kaveh left their friendship because of his ideals.

Kaveh's attempts to realize his beliefs began in earnest during his argument with Alhaitham, who challenged him back then by suggesting that Kaveh didn't honestly believe in his ideals and was just pursuing them out of guilt and a desire to punish himself for his father's death.

Kaveh's attempt to "realize his ideals," therefore, spans the exact amount of time he and Alhaitham have been separated. When Alhaitham asks about Kaveh's attempts, he's asking very specifically about the course Kaveh's life took when he was no longer in it.

How did it go for you? Were you happier? Was it worth it?

I truly believe that Kaveh will be able resolve his conflict with Alhaitham--and come to understand Alhaitham's actual feelings--when he realizes that, in that exact moment, he should have turned the question around:

How did realizing your ideals go for you, Alhaitham?

Was your life better off without me?

No.

#genshin impact #alhaitham #kaveh #haikaveh #kavetham #Kaveh was so worried about whether he should keep his own ideals #that he never even noticed how much Alhaitham's changed #Alhaitham's line in Parade of Providence #about how being correct isn't the same as being right #was sooo telling #it's not about compromising your beliefs #but about learning how to pursue them without compromising yourself #both of them had to feel the sting of pursuing their own beliefs too far #to realize that you need balance #Kaveh's pursuit of ideals that cost him everything was Alcazarzaray #but Alhaitham's pursuit of ideals was the fight that lost him Kaveh #Sumeru was saved because Alhaitham learned his lesson about egoism #and Alhaitham was able to save Kaveh in turn #it's so fucking clean my god this writing #Hoyo cooked so hard with this ship not even Gordon Ramsey can complain

Creative Hubris takes another unsuspecting victim.

#non mdzs #It's not even that many pages and I'm getting my ass kicked!#As much as I have been clawing at the walls - I have learned so much! This project pushed me more than I thought it would #I am so excited to share what I've made. I think its actually some of the best work I've ever done.#but I really do feel like I've stumbled back into the room covered in blood and holding a smoothie.#The issue being: at some point the sunken cost fallacy kicks in and you go:#'well I might as well put in extra polish since I've spent so much time on this already'#That's your EVIL BRAIN talking to you who wants you to live in EVIL COMICS LIMBO.#Sorry to my followers who miss the mdzs comics. I went mad at sea for a month and all I brought back was a short comic.#Posting my silly side doodles to bide me time as I continue to drink the sea water.#Set me free into the plains where the horses roam and I will be able to heal <3
