thank you all so much in the notes!!! tbh I'd never really thought to look into anything for my art but as my health gets worse every year I keep asking myself why I'm making it harder on myself haha I'm gonna check out that stick you all were talking about cause I think I can make that work. all my stuff is clothing painting but I have a desk that I am pretty sure I can set up to implement that aid.

thank you thank you thank you!!!! have a picture of my cat

@mrsaito58 @hannahlysing @teddy-feathers @acoluna @saeva-sava

heyyyy are there any fellow painters out there who could give tips or tools for shakey hand havers? some days my body struggles more so my hands are super wobbly but I hate having that stop me from working. I didn't know if there are aids for that or if it's kinda a shit outta luck scenario

Hi, I feel a bit sheepish about this, but I'm afraid I have drawn you. I usually don't draw non-public figures without asking, hence the sheepishness. I was in a bit of a drawing fugue and came across a selfie of yours. This is a sketch. It's not posted anywhere, but I thought maybe you would like to see it.

Oh! This is lovely! Thank you! I'm always super flattered when people make art of me and this is no exception. You have a lovely art style.

I know nothing about Lucy and Gage... I think I could tell them apart in your art? But I'm bad at this game. On that note, you know how there are stories about your childhood that take on mythic significance? Maybe it was an awesome acheivement/coincidence, maybe an adrenaliney thrill rush brush with death kinda thing, maybe just something that took on significance larger than whatever actually happened? What are Lucy and Gage's foundational myths?

Thank you for the ask! I am actually really thinking on this beyond the automatic response here. 

Gage is the pretty one, Lucy insists. 

For anyone who Doesn’t Go Here: Lucy is my OC with a partial backstory borrowed from the Grandchester Mystery Mansion location in the Nuka World expansion of Fallout 4. I’m really impressed that I have kept him through so long and his moody middle aged ass might stay around in some form or another for good. I really need a Full Bio but I still haven’t. Porter Gage is the raider companion from the same expansion (and in this house we love Porter Gage. I’m serious don’t speak ill of him just to be a dick, I see y'all out there never actually bothering to get to know his character just because he is a raider, anyway.)

So, Gage left his parent’s farm/home settlement when he was 12 or so when he got fed up seeing that no-one was going to do anything about the raiders taking what they wanted. He wasn’t a stupid kid, observation skills might get sharper with experience but they were obviously there when he was young. He realized that his parents couldn’t, and wouldn’t, stand up to the raiders and he was not staying around to see it any more, there wasn’t any safety so what was the point anyway, right? That does something to a person let alone a kid that is perceptive and smart enough to realize it to that extent, so there was no way he could have stayed around just to get shot by a raider, regardless of his parent’s reasoning.  Doing Something is better than doing Nothing. I kindof headcanon him doing shitty caravan work for the pack animal feeding and care for the odd-jobs that no-one wants to do for the really shitty far off routes in the southern wastes. Staying in the settlements between that have any larger farms doing the same stupid hard work he was doing at first until he was a year or two older to actually do running work for real. He made it work, and eventually became a raider himself because the same shit always happens, raiders show up, everyone hands shit over (and decades and several gangs later second in command no less while nearly running things really but we don’t talk about that and its fine cos he is the pretty one). His perceptiveness and general smarts is really evident though, even if it is somewhat unconventional ways, and he really would rather go in guns blazing if it is a viable option, because hes ultimately an impulsive shit. He has things planned out 5 steps ahead (probably to partially combat that impulsiveness) and if anyone taught him how to play chess it would be horrible. A lot of people think Gage is stupid because he has the charisma of a mirelurk at first, but he really isn’t (and he is adorable you just need to let him not be anxious that you are going to get him killed by the raider gangs, get to know people before you judge who they are in a game, its a game not the real world, there’s a story to unfold).

that got away from me a little bit.

Lucy the kneejerk is probably Traumatic Childhood, and while that might be true to an extent and it is an important thing to his general story, I suspect that the real times in his life that are really foundational more than that, that are single events, are right after he was institutionalized after the ah, timely death, of his parents. He was able to then get help for his mental health that his parents were neglecting, and making worse (on purpose? Atom knows). That isn’t to say that all of it was fixed, or much of it if you ask some people (sorry settlers, not really), but it mirrors Gage’s “Oh, it doesn’t have to be like this.” with a different intensity and a lot more confusion. He came out of it a new man (I’m funny, sometimes), and deemed stable enough for military service, because we all know the Fallout government would pretend like everything is fine. He isn’t fine, but they needed bodies. He is a bit less fine now, too. He doesn’t use explosives much, after Alaska and his leg, and hands them off to Gage who is very good about throwing them far enough away (and loudly announces using them, very considerate, and loves blowing up everything anyway and will nuke a bloatfly if he has space)

Lucy still likes his sugar bombs and fancy Nuka Colas even though he did not grow up with them, old fart (not really but he is older than Nuka Cola by quite a bit).

This does not require any answer. I just want to wish you well. Love love.

I don't watch Supergirl, but I follow a lot of people who do. So I've been seeing a lot of Kara relationship dynamics, and the understandable frustration with M-dude whoeverthehell he is. Is there any chance the writer's are setting him up to be the next big bad? Cause this looks like a betrayal in the making to me.

I haven’t watched last night’s episode yet, but from everything I’ve seen (and the glimpses I’ve seen on my dash) I don’t understand how anyone can’t think K*ramel is a good ship. I don’t understand how the writers can be honestly peddling this bullshit and saying it’s better than Karolsen or Supercorp or letting Kara be single. I would say ‘how can they do well with Sanvers and drop the ball so hard with Kara’ but the way they keep fucking up Alex, I’m not so sure I can even say that anymore. 

Don’t get me wrong, season 1 wasn’t like… the best show ever or anything, but it was largely enjoyable. Supergirl is pretty much the only show on right now that I actually watch and I’m not really upset that I haven’t seen this week’s yet. It’s obnoxious. I’d rather watch Kara punch literal manifestations of rampant sexism than see her shackled to this cosmic fuckboi. 

At this point if it ISN’T some big plot twist in the making to talk about how toxic relationships can get even the best of us and how you need to look for healthy partnerships then the writers might collectively need some feminist therapy because if they are honestly trying to sell us K*ramel as a healthy ship, they don’t know what healthy looks like. 

I miss the Danvers Sisters getting pizza and ice cream time together to unwind. I miss every minute of screentime any other character could be getting but we get this fucking asshole instead. I miss looking for Jeremiah. I miss Lucy. I miss Cat. I miss game night. I miss my Supergirl show.

I would not be capable of this. I look at this and bow to the iron strength of your will.

Strength of will had less to do with it than emptiness of wallet, I’m afraid.

Hello @hannahlysing! (I just followed you back but I’m so confused because I’m convinced I already did 🤷🏻‍♀️)

I can tell you’re an absolute sweetheart 😌✨ um and looking through your page you’re so cute excuse me 👀

[coffeeedyke]

The clouds and the hair are really lovely @hannahlysing

Have a sunsetty floaty hair painting that I have been trying to focus on instead of anxiety in these trying times.

[killerchickadee]

@hannahlysing I can't pull off any kind of undercut, partly because I have a permanent part (lol cowlicks) so there's no good spot for buzzing.

[wilwheaton]

Hi Wil. I just wanted to wish you a really nice, comfortable, friendly, relaxing day. Gezellig dag.

You’re so kind! Thank you.

Hello mama spider. I just wanted to tell you that I am very glad you exist. I've been having a weird doctor time, (not listening, emphasising weight/bmi, ignoring actual test results in favour of personal theories.) This has made me feel super appreciative of your presence on my dash. Love love and love to you and yours.

Stick up for yourself. You have every right to get the care you deserve and not have your weight made the central issue when it isn’t. I’m proud of you. You can do it. 

I’m glad we can be here for each other.

Ok. But first Durkheim, now Wittgenstein? Are you trying to bring back all of my university nightmares?

@mrsaito58 💜💜💜

@wildhaunt the ouch continues, but regrets are none!

@hannahlysing we were barely more than a third of the way into the walk when I fell, and I am SO glad I continued. Never would have seen the delicious cold dark of the unfrozen edge of the lake otherwise.

The walk was awesome.

The falling down sucked.

YOU TOO, HAVE THE LOVELIEST NIGHT EVER :D
