TUMBLR LOOK AT MY LIL GUYS !!

These were a final for art school, developing a project I started back in high school! They just need a bit more technical work before I consider them perfect...

My prof wants me to copyright all the process work ive done, but we don't think I should until I get my legal name changed :( hence why I'm not showing it :((

I really need to take better pictures cause the cat blends in so much to the chair but I had to take photos really quickly to submit them in time lol ^^'

Look at these stickers my brain is literally so huge. God. I love them so much.

I hadn't tried to do a sticker sheet at home before because I knew it would be difficult, and I was right! Getting the cut lines to line up with the print was super hard and there were many failed attempts, but it was so worth it I'm so happy with them!!!

This sticker sheet is for my patrons this month ^^

#like seriously I wasted like 10 entire sheets #normally when I do stickers I get to arrange them on a 'print and cut' sheet #which basically has these black marks in the corners that the machine can scan so it can cut based off of where those marks were #so it gets to line up muuuch easier #but with this I didnt want to have just like 2 sticker sheets a page... I wanted to have 4 for an 8.5x11 piece of paper?#cause of obvious reasons I feel #cause the print and cut takes an inch all around #I'm not sure it would be replicable either tbh? like if I were to design another sheet I would have to waste a bunch of papers again #cause for some reason the individual cut lines werent like... it wasnt like it was just entirely offset or entirely scaled 1:1 #it was like some parts had to scoot up some spots had to scoot over some down whatever #so I think I would have to print cut and test again #but. also I did all that and realized. I could have been testing this on normal pieces of paper... I didnt have to use sticker paper #its fine! just makes me feel less bad about trying to do this again in the future #the sticker paper isnt that expensive this wasnt terrible #anyways. might do more in the future! I only have one other idea right now for a sticker sheet bt I wanna do it eventually #not like I wont ever have other ideas. obviously.#I just generally try to only make stuff that i'd actually wanna have so i'm not trying to make a ton of designs or whatever #this is actually also why i'm often sort of... late? on the patreon designs #not late like i send them out as soon as payments get processed for that month the design was for #but ideally id be making them ahead of time enough that people could sign up or sign off if theyre interested or not...#but I just dont wanna make a design that feels procedural... I CAN but I wanna make things that are creative and worth paying for!#so. I often will spend multiple days mulling over ideas for that months designs. so I'm not very ahead at all haha #anyways. yeah these are for october and then I've also gotta draw a halloween themed drawing for this year in general that will be the prin #i lov halloween #anyways.#patreon #merch #my bf didnt get it the gravestone box. its like a nerds box shaped like a gravestone...#and the nerds are. ghosts... its good. its good okay you agree

Apparently my job incorrectly changed my state on my W4 without my knowledge or consent last year and now I owe a LOT of money in unpaid state taxes since they weren't withholding them from my paycheck like they were supposed to 😭

#i hadnt filed my 2023 taxes yet bc there was some stuff i had to figure out with my old college #(they didnt send me a 1098-t and they werent responding to my emails and they changed systems after i graduated #so i wasnt in their new systems and when i called the treasurers office they couldnt figure out how to find me #so they sent it to their manager but the manager never responded and etc etc)#but i wasnt too worried bc i knew with the withholdings that i put on my w4 that i should be receiving a refund #and theres no penalties to filing late if youre receiving a refund (you just. dont get your money until its filed)#but now ive got that figured out (turns out they actually didnt need to send me a 1098-t bc i dont have any exceptions to claim from them #bc something about how my expenses were handled? idk. which i didnt even learn from them btw. bc they never got back to me 🙃#i had to consult a tax expert. but anyway)#so i was trying to finally file them. and uh. it turns out i owed like $1000 to my state. and i was like. that. cant be right. what?#checked my w2 and for some reason on one line it had my state listed with like a small portion of my earnings #and then on the next line there was the rest of my earnings under a different state name #a state that doesnt fucking have state taxes 🙃 so nothing was withheld from that portion of my income #so apparently i did NOT pay the majority of my state taxes last year. and now im 6 months late filing. and im worried im fucked #and we are also 11 MONTHS into 2024 with my w4 incorrect and no state taxes withheld all year 🙃 fuck. fuck fuck fuck #they cant even change it back until my manager proves i live in this state apparently 😭 what the hell man #i live in this state i work in this state my companys fucking headquarters is in this state #WHY would they change it to a different fucking state. WITHOUT my knowledge or consent #i didnt even realize they had stopped withholding my state taxes until now bc it happened at the same time i got promoted #so the increase on my paycheck just blended in with my raise 😭#i just submitted it but of course theyre going to take what i owe for my state taxes weeks before they refund me for my federal taxes #payments process within 48 hours but refunds take up to 21 days #rambling #so. im gonna have to figure out how to make rent and bills next week #and then im ALSO gonna have to pay however much it costs to be 6 months behind on a payment of nearly $1000 #FUCK

alright this one is a bit dark but. current spin sooo . out of the following options how would you most like to be remembered & reasoning if you'd like

sentient ai of you in a big computer

tree grown out of your grave/with your body

ashes scattered (where?)

bones fossilized for display

buried regularly / mausoleum

used to grow biodegradable bricks out of mushrooms

traditional burial

other?

FOSSILISE ME CAPTAIN

#asks #ok but genuinely a lot of these are cool #sentient ai might be fun but i fear that my postmortem conciousness would be used for bad...#tree is alright!! but i would have a difficult time choosing the type of tree etc and it seems like a logistical nightmare #im actually more familiar with the process of cremation but its not really my thing...#regular burial is EXPENSIVE and also the whole thing where you have to go clean the headstones or nameplates -#is kind of inconvenient. sure i love cleaning headstones but i wouldn't wish it on anyone else #the bricks one is so interesting... mushrooms pale in comparison to museum though #and then yeah same thing for traditional burial its just too formal and boring to me #<- guy who's been to enough funerals etc #anyways MUSEUMS.#now that's a real cool thing #i have actually been to a museum near me that had people's organs and bones and even preserved muscles in there #and i was like woah hell yes. all of that is me #so yeah. scientific donation is for me.#and also if possible i would love a little plaque or note by my bones that reads like. idk something nice or thoughtful #anyways. intriguing ask thanks anon

i think taxes should be higher and it should all go towards helping people and none of it should go to the military

#in a world without taxes i would've been dead at 18 #if not way earlier #i fucking love taxes #how people can think ''taxes are bad because it's a portion of my paycheck taken by force''#and then stop there. like just stop thinking at such an early stage of the thought process #and feel content that they've understood enough #you should already have an idea of what a world where you have to pay everything in full by yourself is #the us healthcare system is a prime example #i just can't fathom how people are so fundamentally incapable of connecting these dots in any reasonable way #''if they didn't take a cut out of my paycheck i'd have more money in my pocket''#is such a painfully juvenile thought. because you'll still have to use that money for things like healthcare #only now you have to pay it all yourself. and you can't afford the cost of an ambulance #let alone whatever procedure you might need #a reduction of taxes is a little chump change dropped in your pocket instead of being pooled with everyone else's #and then everything else gets too expensive because there's no collected pool of resources #you're in total paying more for the desire to have your entire paycheck in your pocket #because you are not a billionaire #you need the community to work with you #ranting in circles as usual but anyway

Found a very cool pastel cat sweater at the bins but I have literally nothing that matches it well, so I always struggle to make outfits with it lol

#ootd #pastel #I really really want to SELL CLOTHES I keep talking about selling clothes.. its just such a process..hhhhhhh #Because you have to take pictures. edit the pictures. list them somewhere. write descriptions. choose a price. advertise the fact you listed #it somewhere. Repeat with literally hundreds of items (since I get bulk clothes at the bins and etc.). I have a lot of cool stuff that I thi #nk people into similar styles would want to buy. and I always need money to fund art and healthcare expenses and eventually moving to a diff #erent place someday. replacing broken electronics. etc. etc. So a wise decision is 'well sell a lot of the old clothes you have'. It is so #difficutl with my specific functioning issues though since it's such a long process and also packing things up. taking them to the post offi #ce etc. takes timing since I always have to be driven by roomates and stuff. etc. etc.#I think the way I was considering getting around this was to sell clothing in 'packs' like.. A pack of 5 or 6 matching items the same shade #of pink. or all green items with flowers so it's the same 'nature theme'. Or even selling full outfits or something. so that way I can kind #of bundle items. Instead of the effort of photograohing and listing literally 50 individual items. Turn them into 5 packs of 10. Or 10 packs #of 5. etc. ? But I think I never got too far with that because I was uncertain how that'd actually go over in terms of whether people would #buy groups of items instead of just individual. Especially whole outfits or something like. I think you'd get a wider audience giving people #more individual choice to choose seperate things instead of putting them together and going 'this is just what you get' or etc.#but I could also see it being cool. You already have some guaranteed stuff that matches. They have a theme. Especially if it's something you #like. Love brown themed mori kei items? here's 5 of them already together. etc. etc. etc.#ANYWAY. Came to mind because as much as I love anything with cats on it that's a light color. I also am chronically warm natured due to my #health issues so I overheat immensely if I wear sweaters. even in the winter I don't wear that many layers lol. So a sweater like this is ju #st impratical for me outside of taking one or two outfit photos with it. but I don't think I could ever actually wear it even if I really wa #nt to. But it's nice! and very cool!! so a good candidtate for selling. Give it to someone who would be happier to have it than I would in #the sense that maybe they could actually WEAR it lol.#ANYWAY... rhgh #everything......... difficult.......... whye #Also sweater is too hot for me and doesn't match anything I own even though it's perfect and I love cats..... whye....... cruele world #self

disability pride month aka pride month 2: ouchie boogaloo

#anyway i don't think i really count as disabled because the medication that works for me works really well and i'm pretty pain free #and i have been immensely privileged in my diagnostic and treatment process #ESPECIALLY as an overweight 18 year old girl. being white does help but my point is i am part of two groups that make a lot of doctors #say other things (ie maybe it's your period/have you considered losing weight)#i think however my terrible pain tolerance helped #granted. meds have side effects.#but i am a lot better off than a lot of other people with chronic diagnoses or specifically rheumatoid arthritis #and you know getting all this stuff in australia was somewhat expensive and it felt like it took forever. especially while i was waiting #but it would have been worse if i lived in the usa. if i started at a college that forced me to move out and live on campus #and you know general healthcare hell #buuuuuuuuuuut yeah!

Ughhhhhhh I hate writing and I hate not writing and I hate myself

#nearly bought a digital typewriter today. actually i DID buy a digital typewriter today. officially yes i have bought a digital typewriter.#the money for the digital typewriter has left my account but i have emailed them to cancel the order because i can't in good faith buy #a digital typewriter when i don't fucking WRITE #i thought it might help me get back into it. distraction free and while allowing me to not judge my own writing #and be continuously editing while i write and going 'i'm crap i'm crap i'm crap no one will ever read this and if they do they will think #that i'm garbage and that i should feel bad etc etc etc'#but it's too expensive and i have the feeling i wouldn't even like or use the thing once i got it #because the IDEAS! the ideas aren't coming to me. or rather they are but none of them seem to stick #i feel underconfident in writing any of them #and then i have old projects that i've always wanted to get back to like the tennis romance thing but SO much has changed since i first #started drafting it. like i don't even know if i like the main couple anymore. i kind of want to put both of them with different OCs of min #but it'd switch up the WHOLE story if i had a different cast #in fact most of the problem lies in the fact that i have this long-running bedtime story i tell myself every night with lore #and a massive cast of characters that i switch out depending on who i'm most interested in right now and every so often i incorporate new #themes and ideas and motifs and plot points sometimes based on media i've been watching because it's MY bedtime story and it doesn't matter #if i plagiarise in my own brain. but then obviously i can't plagiarise in real life #and none of my bedtime stories are GOING anywhere. sometimes i only get through a scene or two before i fall asleep #all of which means my bedtime story is not so much a sweeping epic novel but a sitcom with way too many characters #most of which are werewolves to be honest and sometimes for my own wish fulfilment one of them will walk out of my head #and take care of my problems for me by lending me £1million or murdering my best friend's ex. in my mind obviously #so it's like. it's a case of getting in there and annexing off the stuff i think i can use #it's like yeah i've definitely written several romance novels in my head in the process of this but does it matter if they're IN my HEAD #to be honest i feel like my main strength is in creating characters. like i have this one family of werewolves i've been slowly but surely #adding members to since i was like 16. maybe younger? no yeah i think i made the first one when i was 12 #they're compelling to ME anyway. i care about them. it's just PLOTS. i can't plot #if a book could just be a lot of dialogue and sex scenes and silly moments and character studies i'd be alright #i also can't describe settings. don't ask me to because i can't #and now i'm just annoyed with myself because i sat down at my laptop to try to write and instead i'm here complaining about how i don't wri #and if i had the digital typewriter... i mean i'd probably still be doing this i'd just no longer have £300 #i don't have the £300 anyway. i hope to christ they refund my card i'm a fucking idiot

1 year left of college and i just got a notification from said colege that i dont count as an eligible noncitizen because im still in "asylum seeker" limbo which means im not eligible for any financial aid and im like this close to just giving up

#every year im like maybe this year well get a response from the govt #and every year we dont so i dotn count as an asylee but im also ineligible for a student visa or any other kind of visa #because i already have a process going on #and i should be getting both federal and state aid. both on a merit and a need basis. but i am not #and college is expensive. and im tired. and im gonna graduate and then do NOTHING with my degree #because an undergrad in psych is pretty much worthless unless you wanna work hr #like if you wanna do anything in the field you NEED at least a masters #anyway im tired. and broke. and tired

finally accepting i am a gay man rather than whatever i thought i was is explaining a lot about everything to the point it’s actually making me angry. like man. man i guess it was very fucking obvious to everyone except me huh

#ftm #trans guy #trans gay man #like OHHH that wasn’t a weird mix of hatred and excitement #it was literally desire #i just process every strong emotion i have as anger #and i wasn’t a butch lesbian #i just felt most like a man when i could be the more masculine partner #even if i couldn’t pass for a cis man #which made me not even want to try #and then obviously i’d not want to be GAY as a man on top of that because then i might STILL be the feminine partner #and idk i just was less affected by lesbophobia because lesbians tend to be mocked by portraying them as manly #which obviously i didn’t mind #but the internalized homophobia ON TOP of the internalized transphobia is too much for me #im a coward and i like living in the comfort of ignoring my problems #despite all that i feel happier than i have ever been though #it’s like i finally slipped into my own skin #just wish gay transmascs would talk about the denial and shame more because then i might’ve realized sooner #but online algorithms kept feeding me only lesbians doing so #and i kept liking it because i was like #‘i relate to SOMETHING in what you’re saying but im not so sure what it is’#because i’m blind #actually come to think of it i might not have noticed if trans men spoke of this more often #because i would have covered my ears #anyway #whatever i guess i figured it out now #if only transition weren’t so expensive #at least i look like my dad already anyway

I saw a video where someone said that (if you're doing photography as a hobby, not as a career) the camera that makes you want to take more pictures and want to use that camera all the time is the best camera to buy, and for most people that might not be the most expensive, decked out camera out there.

and that advice really applies to most things, doesn't it? anyway, much like how I basically always turn to marie kondo's "does this spark joy?" question when it comes to Things, the above lesson is something that I think I'll take as a guiding principle whenever I'm spending hours on youtube watching product reviews because I want to buy a Thing but I don't know what model of the Thing I want to buy.

yes the Thing looks cool, but will it actually make me want to do [reason I'm buying the Thing for] more frequently? will it make me fall in love with the process of Using The Thing?

#mine musings #anyway past me made a good decision apparently because a couple of years ago i decided #i probably will use an instax more than a digital camera #because i like the process of point-and-shoot than figuring out manual settings and composition #something about the analog experience is more fun to me even though the pictures aren't always perfect but like. that's also the charm #plus i'm not even active on social media enough that i never even think to post pictures online #anyway i posted all this because i saw that there was an SX-70 on sale and that camera just always seemed so cool to me #but like. realistically i will never use it much because polaroid films are way more expensive AND not accessible where i live #i can find instax film easily but not polaroid #anyway yeah engage with the Things you own #use your only-for-special-occassion clothes more often #annotate your books (if you're an annotator which i guess not everyone is. but it's fun)

that feeling when you want to write a long post ranting discussing something you feel especially strongly about but you're just. too Tired to actually sit down and do it

#also it's technically vaguing other posts which I don't want to do #but tbh this is something I really have wanted to talk about for a while I just didn't realize how frustrated I was until now #anyway:#you do know that it's possible to recognize Henry VII's success as King without completely erasing Edward IV's entire reign impact #and achievements* in the process right?#(*achievements that massively BENEFITTED Henry VII and gave Henry several useful precedents which he actively followed.#If you're genuinely interested in Henry you should be able to acknowledge that and use it as part of your analysis of him)#like I'm sorry but if the only way you can compliment Henry is by erasing someone else's credit and policies that Henry himself referenced #I don't think your opinion can be taken seriously. even though I very much do agree with your broader point #There are ways to highlight Henry's considerable success without diminishing Edward IV's own success that preceded Henry's #(and also without incorrectly caricaturing the entire Wars of the Roses as decades of bloody ravaged in-fighting my god)#(there was a 12-year reign of relative stability and economic recovery from 1471-83 that you're literally erasing completely.#are you fucking stupid?)#It's weird because I obviously dislike the way Henry VIII is glorified at his father's expense #and dislike when Henry VII's achievements that contributed so massively to his son's reign are minimized #so when I see people defend Henry VII using the exact same method to praise Henry at Edward IV's expense (except Edward is #just entirely erased and overlooked rather than vilified)...#it's rather hypocritical imo?#to be clear it's not about Edward I know it's about Henry. and it doesn't generally happen because Henry is not generally #talked about positively at all. he's often regarded negatively in a way that makes no sense and which I'm very frustrated by #But when he IS given praise it's usually exacerbated by people who (implicitly; perhaps unknowingly) minimize Edward IV in the process #and it's irritating to say the least #anyway. sorry. I didn't mean to vague I don't generally do this. but I really do have a lot to say about this topic #I do want to make another post about it sometime but not anytime soon #I might delete these tags in a bit let's see #(super unsure if I should post this but. whatever)

Got an email that my hourly wage has been raised by 7 whole ass percent LMAO

The average food inflation last year was around 40-50%. Proof:

#We have rent and bills to pay as well #I will also spend this year's first half going from 1 doctor to another #( knowing our health care system it might take the whole year )#But i'll proly end up w/ private doctors to speed up the process #Which requires a shit ton of money #Like how I've just spent 3 days worth of salary at the private dermatologist last week #But at least after 10+ years i got diagnosed w/ chronic disease #And got prescribed an expensive cream for my symptoms ( thank god it works)#Anyway #Looks like i'll have to start doing ko-fi stuff haha #I'm pissed #Personal

anyways. i need to call the vet tomorrow and im like preemptively anxious about it because of how much it a fight it constantly is to address my concerns. but my cat has spent the weekend terrified of her food, flinching whenever she takes a bite, and spilling water down her front when she tries to drink, so if they try to tell me it’s not her mouth that’s bothering her one more time I’m gonna :arthurfist:

#I really just need to take her to another vet. this one has botched two mouth surgeries now #but i do need to call them about her antibiotic culture anyway so idk i guess ill see what happens #it’s just also going to be a longer and more expensive process w another vet #and she needs help Now
