I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol
#wax seal#crafts#wax stamp#stationery#Window one is kind of stinky.. I was imagining like a swirly night sky sort of looking thing so it would be a surreal contrast of a night#sky with a window in the middle that shows a daytime sky - but the silver and purple wax kind of mixed too much together#with the black and it just looks very plain black and not all that starry or anything hjbhj.. Of course the eye is probably my favorite#since all I ever do is draw eyes and still like eye imagery for some reason. The four leaf clover is very lumpy and skrunkty but also it wa#the smallest in size out of all of them so was easier to do multiple stamps of just to try it out.#The heart with eyes wax is actually more swirly in person. I wanted it to be a mix of light pink and red and white. and the wax#did kind of all blend together but in person you can definitely see MORE of the intentional swirlyness. in this it just looks plain pink.#I was going to do one eye in the heart but it looked weird. but now two seems too plain. i could have done 3?? in a pattern.. hmm#alas. I wish I could make actual metal ones. With the clay i have to paint them in a thin layer of olive oil before stamping because#otherwise the wax just kind of gets stuck in the grooves of the clay and then you can't pull it up. Very wacky ''unprofessional'' looking#set up where I'm hot gluing circles of sculpey clay to short stumps of a wooden dowel that I sawed apart with a serrated bread knife#and then using an old paintbrush to put olive oil on them whilst holding a spoon over a yankee candle flame hjbjh#ANYWAY.. I think if I were middle class/rich/etc. this would be one of the main things in my crafting room is like.. SO many colors#of wax. and all different custom made stamps designed by me. which could be much more elaborate in actual metal.. muahaha.... >:)c#RHGghhh... I actually don't want to talk much about it since (this is probably just my Obsessed With My Own World Artist Delusions) I#think I have a really cool idea for a game that could genuinely be successful if i ever get to make it and I don't want to give#everything away and spoil the whole plot/concept in hopes that one day I can actually do it - BUT - a game that I'd like to make after the#visual novel I'm making now has partially to do with the main character working as a sort of writer/scribe/artist assistant in an elven#city (set in my world/with my worldbuilding species and versions of elves and etc) and I was thinking of maybe incorporating#somehow being able to collect little writing type items like these like.. you can get different wax seal patterns or pens or etc. when I do#stuff like this in Real Life it always makes me think of that like.. ouh... this is good research.. what it shall be like to be a littol#elf collecting wax seals and such.. indeed... GRR i need to be finished with my current game NOWWW... i MUST work on other#thingss... aughh... ANYWAY.. yay. accomplishment to do One Single Thing other than Sit In The Summer Heat And Rot#though also hilarious as this was the first cool-ish day that was below 80F in a while hgvh#waking up like 'wow.. i actually feel okay today?? like I could do things?? how mysterious.. I wonder why..?? :0'' Its The Weather You Fool#Tis Always The Weather

made a lil house in minecraft
#it is modded (the fairy lights and furniture are not vanilla)#and i did follow a youtube tutorial though i edited some parts#but this isn't a cherry grove lmao this is a plains#i added the trees and petals and. pretty much everything that's not normal plains stuff#hid lighting under the moss carpets so it's bright and there's no spawns but i don't need to ruin the Vibe with torches#the lake nearby is only separated from the ocean by a small beach#so i'm gonna dig a canal to connect them and decorate and possibly release the axolotls i found into the lake#one of the mods lets you have candles on lilypads so i'm stoked for that#ALSO. by the bedroom. that's my mine entrance#i literally spent over an hour and over 4 stacks of cherry logs making it (and drowned twice)#it's stripped cherry and birch planks all the way down to -53#with powdered snow on one side and a soul sand water elevator on the other#i literally haven't even mined yet or even carved out an area to start mining#i just made the shafts. and it took over an hour and two deaths gjfhdhshs#also powdered snow + carpet is my new favorite way of breaking falls thanks youtube#you don't fall into the snow bc of the carpet but it still breaks your fall and you take no damage!#and since it's under carpet it looks cute too#you just have to be careful when using a powdered snow drop next to a water elevator 😔#bc water will wash away the snow... happened to me twice 😭#thankfully i got like 7 buckets of the stuff so i was fine#rey rambles#minecraft#anyway cherry wood was the best thing they've ever added to minecraft i am SUCH a pink bitch and this is perfect#modded pink woods never quite captured the Vibe the way vanilla cherry does

So I'm shopping on Etsy for ACOTAR merch for Christmas (because I wanted to treat myself this year), and good GOD there are so many Tamlin's Tears mugs and Salty Little Bitch Tamlin candles and bookmarks. Whyyyy? At least the Suriel Tea mugs are kind of funny.
It makes me want to make my own stuff instead, to be honest.
#i can do so much better#if i just made time for it#now i'm googling how to print dual sided bookmarks#and how to tie bookmark tassels#and how to print on vellum#this is how bad it is out there for book 1 stans#there are also way too many stained glass looking mountains with three stars items#which is a stolen design anyway#a little originality would be nice#who would want to buy a salty bitch candle anyway#feeling salty myself today#i would buy a scented candle from each court though#even if they were just basic holiday scents#cue miranda from the devil wears prada#florals for spring#groundbreaking#but seriously i would

I have to admit I never even imagined witches to be evil until I came here on tumblr and read some of y'alls analysis of literature and other media. The whole evil laugh and brewing potions did not connect to being evil in my mind ever. I was just raised with everyone around me thinking witches were cool as hell.
#my grandmother used to tell me that she was a witch and that her daughters and also me were ones too#and tbh i believed that bc she used to take the pain away with her magic#which was just her hovering her hand above the painful place#and istg it worked every time be it placebo or the#im not going to explain the neural pathways that make thermal and tactile sensations lessen the pain#but its a thing#and all my aunts liked witchy stuff#they made runes on pebbles by painting the sigil with a nailpolish on them#my grandmother also told the future by regular playing cards#i was taught the thing where you hold a necklace and ask a question and if it swings one way its yes the other - no#both my mom and grandmother have had at some point protective spells in their wallets#my grandmother always made a protective spell on us when we were leaving#i was taught to always greet and thank the mother of forest when going mushroompicking/collecting berries#me and my younger aunts (i had 5 year difference with the youngest) were always up to some weird stuff#like you know lighting a candle by the window and repearing a phrase to see how your fated one will look like#a lot of things in midsummer with flower crowns were done for luck or once again to predict the future#oh and the whole holding a metal object that started turning in your hand when you went above underground water junction#there were. a lot of things.#oh and we even collaborated with ghosts#and we had two completely black cats when i was little#and i remember i once found a part of an animal skull on the ground and i felt overjoyed#so yeah thats how i never even imagined witches could be evil#until late teens

some wip snips from a KIU fic im working on ! this is a post-canon au where pit and magnus team up on the surface world :] (plus others later on !)
---
---
---
this is also the context for the art i drew previously (it happens in one of the scenes of the fic and i wanted to draw it out) :
im working on it in my free time and i hope i can start posting it by the end of the year (hopefully... shaking my fist at the sky and also my assessments)
#still not 100% sure on the title....#first one i came up with was 'is the candle half melted?' like is the cup half empty or half full#but it made me laugh every time i saw it on the doc#i also thought about 'candle holders for melted wax' but i dont know if thats too edgy#because this is supposed to be like. sitcom comedy vibes but with some serious moments#name suggestions are welcome ! please. pretty please#kid icarus uprising#kid icarus#oh also he/they dark pit sorry i dont make the rules

having dutch ancestry is basically meaningless to me, except for every November 25th, when I stick it to those stupid old fucks by celebrating Suriname Independence Day
#I’ve lit a candle every year since 6th grade which is when I found out about the Netherlands and suriname for a school report#I was really mad at the dutch too lmao like really specifically#because I was just old enough to be presented with ‘it’s maybe also sometimes bad when white people commit atrocities maybe?’#you know I mean as an upper middle class white American this was the first I’d heard of it#so I was like yeah! what France did to Haiti was bad!!!! they made things really scary!#and then I found out that it’s in my blood too…#hope I don’t find out anything bad about America!

VALENTINE FINALLY GOT TO TALK TO JARLAXLE!!!!!!!! ("LORD ZORD") they had a 30 second conversation with him before becoming so fed up they had to leave and they called his hat 'too much' (him: i know!! :)) ) as they left in a huff
#he did subtly threaten valentine by saying they should watch who theyre saying stuff like that too when i calle dhim unhelpful but.#there wasnt much bite given how valentine is like. about as threatening to jarlaxle as an angry wet cat#also he was the king of being unhelpful and valentine had nothing to offer him. except a normal candle. and someone elses money. i think th#candle made him think . oh this is a real weirdo

Short rant. That moment when you realize how drained the people around you make you feel as the mom friend. It's hit me.
Not even just as an introvert. I feel like I'm never listened to by the people I surround myself with. I keep speaking my mind and I'm ignored, but I keep giving and they'll keep taking. I stop giving, and they'll find a way to take ("I think I'll help myself to *something I didn't ask permission for but I'm taking it anyway*" or "it's your fault for working these shifts so we can't hang out even though I know your schedule" or "oh you need a shoulder? Well I'm in more pain than you are and I'll tell you why instead of let you continue").
I feel like I'm taking care of children more than I am hanging out with friends. Like dang. I'm the mom friend. It doesn't mean you should treat me like your mother. I've been really hurt by these people and it's started to affect my self esteem and mental health. There are these little interactions that have built up over the years and snowballed into bigger issues because they do what they want without thinking of others. I've gotten a few apologies for incidents but it's only when I bring it up. Obviously I can't control anybody. But not willing to meet in the middle is a common theme within our circle.
A few instances have occured most recently that have made me seriously introspect.
#introvert#introvert things#my friends are also undiagnosed autistics so it's hard to be mad at them#but they can be really rude and use autism as an excuse instead of apologizing when i say i'm upset#social cues are hard for them#me too#but it's frustrating#one time I made them cookies at our place and one friend was being super rude that I kept getting up to check on them#like telling me to shut up in our conversations and name cqlling#we are adults#i have a job and a roommate#even she takes my food/candles without asking sometimes even though she makes four times as much as me and can afford her own#there have been several instances of the really autistic friend telling me to shut up over snd over until I do#then she turns to her favorite friend so they can joke around like a complete 180#i think i'm just really angry and frustrated and this has been building for a few years now

I DOTN KNOW HOW I
I don’t know how I feel abt the episode yet.
I think mainly I’m- scared they’re gonna keep silver a villain? I’m scared they’re not gonna “redeem” him?
Like there’s no indication he wants to change himself, besides that he’s afraid(?) of candle.
#maow#text#ii spoilers#like he seems totally fine with voting out candle but as soon as she says she’ll react#he kinda… retreats? and I know I’m reading too deep into this but it- reminds me of an abused reaction#like being fine with something until someone reacts and you shrink down and pull out the fight or flight#I KNOW IM READING TOO DEEP#I jsut headcanon silver to come from a political family that raised him to be the golden child#and then something made them deny this to him so he’s trying to gain back their respect#and I headcanon that while not physically abusive they were emotionally abusive and did a lot of neglect#’only get praised if you’re useful to us’ kind of thing#SORRY OVER ALL I think I liked the ep but I also feel weird abt it#abuse tw#in the tags

i should have known lighting candles would be a bad idea as a kid my parents would stop me from playing with the molten wax but who is gonna stop me now from pouring it all over myself
#meins#let me become a wax figurine#if you aren't supposed to cover your skin in hot wax they shouldn't have made it so fun to peel off#i also used to do it with liquid glue#or cover the bottle cap with glue to unpeel it#but it takes so long to dry i did it too soon and ruined my own fun#wax is superior and i shouldn't be allowed around candles#but also why put candles out if i am not allowed to play with them#being your own adult is hard

If NSR had another 'Christmas Remix' like update. I want it to be called 'Fable Remix'. Which is basically the NSR characters dressed up as Fairytale characters. All I could think about is Eve's design referencing 'The North Wind and The Sun', Yinu's design referencing 'Pinocchio', and 1010's design referencing 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier'.
Neat! I have no idea what any of those are other than the Pinocchio one!
I always thought if they were going to do another update they would do like a summer vacation update or something like that!
But the fable ones sound cool too! The music itself could be more lullaby-like to them!
I at first thought you meant fable as in fantasy, which could also be cool to see too! And that music could be more uuuuh, viking-like? Medieval? I don't know the word for it, but like something you would hear with like lutes and fiddles and stuff that are really old.
Don't know what the summer remix songs would sound like. Probably not that different, especially since the holiday remixes literally just added a shit ton of bells to the songs as the most obvious change lol.
#nsr#no straight roads#eritalks#noart#asks#can't say more on the fable part#because i don't know lots of fairytales#at least not outside of what d/isney has made#or dark versions of fairytales#e/ve could also be r/epunzel#and 1/010 could also be p/inocchio#d/jss could be the moon that the animals jump over#or is that more of a nursery rhyme?#nursery rhymes could be a cool thing too though!#e/ve as baa baa black sheep!#t/atiana as the candle stick jumper person#b/2j as jack and jill maybe?#lots of options!

it's been a nice day after all 😌
#not fandom related#personal log stardate#visited my hometown and several relatives. everyone was in a good mood. took a little walk. drank tasty coffee.#ate yummy self made lebkuchen. have had asian fried noodles a burger and a strawberry milkshake - all things i haven't eaten in over a year#food cw#the only bothersome things were the loud music on the drive to my hometown the fact that i needed to pee rly urgently and#the peeps I'm hitching a ride w have a new car which has a lot of lights inside. like when you're on the bus or on a plane.#it bothers me now that it's dark. it makes me feel nervous and dizzy and i can't rly see the stars when looking out of the window#bc the windows are reflecting the light. I've covered the lights up w my jacket where I'm sitting and I've put on my sunglasses#but it still bothers me. also the bright car lights#another nice thing was that i could visit the graves of some of my deceased relatives. we wanted to light a candle on the grave#but unfortunately it was too windy. all in all I'm grateful for the day. i was not looking forward to it as i was tossing and turning#last night and i only slept 4 hrs but it was a good day
