#im just a student tbh

[simpjaes]

I’ve always been interested in coding but specifically html and user face designing but I can never get ideas out and if I do it just never seems to look right to me. or I can never just do it. it’s been something I do on my downtime but it’s always like that for me. it’s either I design something and it’s nothing like what I had in my mind or it’s just the bones of a website with little to no design. sorry for the rant I don’t really have anyone to talk to about things like that.

but I’m sending this to say that your design mockups are amazing. pretty sure if it was real ( like out on the market for people to buy ) it would probably sell fast. and I hate to say this but as a society we care about looking at things first. the added benefits of the product are just secondary ( ex. skincare ). if it’s not packaged nicely or not pretty to look at people are mostly likely not to buy, even if it could save your life or something. – byeol

HUUUUUUUUUUGE YAP SESSION!

Don't apologize for ranting about things that I have experience in and a passion for! Given, I'm studying visual design more than the html or coding aspect of it. What I will say though is that really, any aspect of design has soooo many fucking rules to it and it's always better to learn them before breaking them. (basics like typography, sight patterns, alignment, etc) I think you should keep playing around though. Sometimes when I'm bored I go to carrd and just play around with it til i either hate it or like it, either way I still delete it and start over. As for your comment on society needing pretty packaging, I can agree to an extent but it's also human nature to search for things that please the eye. Even as a messy ass painter and sculptor who makes very weird and uncanny things, I still follow the rules so even my most horrifying works is pleasing to those who recognize the skills i used. As far as I'm concerned, I have no qualms with people liking pretty things, especially if I get to make those things, yknow? Even the most mundane, boring designs follow the exact same rules. Brand logos, street signs, shower curtains, business cards. [nct albums have bad design a lot of the time, i've learned KMFSDKJHFKJ]

I also do agree that sometimes people prefer the prettier packaging over the boring or even badly designed kind but I don't agree that they won't buy it because of that. Price is usually what drives a purchase, and often times a prettier design costs more. If we are referring to nepo babies and rich ass losers, yeah they probably don't care but i don't believe anything would be considered a "life saver" regarding good or bad design. That's when the price or design doesn't matter and the product is what matters. **i also wanna add, more often than not, you'll find the design package matches or compliments the price, no matter how expensive or cheap. sometimes the price is what drives the design.**

Either way!! I get what your saying, so...ONTO ADVICE: As an artist who primarily did more physical studio art before focusing on design, most if not all of my works turn out differently than what I imagine, but I love them nonetheless because of the work and effort I put into it. You cannot perfect yourself based off of a fantasy in your head, you have to be realistic. If it's possible, get as close to it as you can without breaking your mental state. If it isn't possible, make something else, or utilize the idea and make something inspired off of it. Someone will like your work whether you hate it or not. I've experienced it time and time again. People taking my sketches and work out of trash cans, me doing the same thing to other people. I can't tell you how many trashed art pieces i own and love, and the fact of the matter is, someone hated it enough to crumple it and throw it away, prepared to never look at it again. Digital design can be different from that though because mistakes or unbalanced parts of it can be really obvious, not to mention how pompous some designers are. It's a more critical type of work, i think, and even I'm struggling with it. I see so many mistakes in my mock ups, but i finally threw my hands up and knew I needed to just be done with it. The sub box was supposed to be a tarot card box, but I just couldn't get it right. That's a clear example of my work not panning out to my own mind's image. The point is, everyone feels this way with their work. We look at it for so long that everything looks wrong, and not good. But at the end of the day, especially with design, a lot of people will simply look at it briefly and move on. Remember that!

my mum keeps responding to my covid precautions with “i get it, you’re not ready yet”. like no i just don’t do them anymore. i don’t really need to eat at restaurants or go to crowded places or be in public without an n95. i can watch the movie at home. i can get take out. an n95 is just uncomfortable sometimes but doesn’t stop me from doing anything. i love not getting sick

[xxplastic-cubexx]

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

honestly, in retrospect, it’s so funny of honeypre to give minami a one-off costume from an mv as his 2⭐︎ outfit

…even though his honeypre intro itself says he’s a 1st year student at sakuragaoka h e y—

Youre kidding me. Porter is a multiclass teacher and he wont let one of his students multiclass your fucking kidding me he called gorgug a c+ student while hes taking freshman-junior artificer classes i hate his guts so much my fucking goodness maybe gorgug wouldnt be a c+ student if he wasnt taking on a 400% workload you bitch i hate himmmmmm

Okay I might not have anyone here whos able to contribute to this question but, in the past, I have used 'Hermaphrodite" as a purely scientific word, with heavy stressing that it is not to be confused with the definition of intersex or used to describe actual human beings under any circumstances. This is in part because I've never actually found a good term to replace it, as a lot of suggested terms are... unfitting or somewhat mismatched in a strictly scientific/biological sense. A lot of the suggested terms from more worldbuilding-focused individuals are used more (or strictly) for plants, or at least in 99% of contexts tend to be used for plants or describe slightly more specific things than just "Animal with both sexual systems at once." Plants as a whole have like... god, like ten different terms for various sexual setups because they can be stupidly complicated in a way that you just aren't likely to see with most animals, which tend to be more simplistic (at least slightly, lmao). There's also the slightly more niche issue that a lot of suggested alternatives address the topic from the strict goal of 'replace the word' and thus haven't yet spread to cover some of the specific forms that can apply too, although this would probably be a pretty easy fix if everyone can agree on a term, but at least as it is I still seems like everyone is split 5 different ways on which to use. In terms of fiction/casual use I've generally been defaulting to duel-sexed, which isn't an actual used term as far as I know, just because its pretty self descriptive and also wouldn't have some fringe specific scientific use- which is an issue I'd think you'd only really be bothered by if you were dipped in a lot of discussions about fringe animal biology- which is where I think a lot of suggestions from individuals more on the intersex activism side tend to fall when the terms they raise clash against niche situational biology things. Ive also used non-gonochoristic which is both clunkier and less easily picked up by less familiar individuals, but is also basically strictly 'animal' in use. Recently I've seen cosexual, which admittedly I seemed to have missed because yet again its a term where 99% of its use is isolated to plants, although it seems like there is a handful of uses cases that applied it specifically to animals (But still ultimately fall back on the other term in order to clarify the specifics). At least in terms of recent suggestions its probably the one I think would be most likely to pick up traction as a replacement, but its definitely still mired in the problematic terminology (In that basically everything I've seen use it only commits to using it alongside the other term, rather than attempt to replace it) and also still heavily plant related. Although not to the degrees of some of the popular suggestions like 'monoecious' which is a fairly common and well known word- but its specific relationship with other plant terminology makes it feel ill-fitted for the role when its not going to mixed with plant bullshit. Seriously look at this:

I've also seen bigenital suggested recently, which I frankly think is a much worse/weaker word both in terms of just, terminology and also its finer application. And then a handful of terms that just very blatantly have too much crossover with other things. Also a dozen other words that I've seen floating around over the years, but they definitely exist as mostly peoples personal suggestions/solutions and not ones with any real traction. It's a problem I've seen repeatedly brought up, but have yet to actually see any sort of formal correction take hold. And I think part of that is almost certainly a bit of a clash between nerds trying to maintain the specific definitions of things in an area where theres already a lot of confusing overlap, Activists who rightfully want get things changed but aren't clued in as hard to more niche scientific terminology concerns like "This is specifically for plants who have a specific type of reproduction system organization with their flowers, and thus doesn't quiet work for something that doesn't have multiple sets of genitals in different arrangements as most animals do" and well meaning scientists who want to avoid the word and try using alternatives but ultimately fall back on the one people know and that they know scientifically describes the thing they want to describe even if it also carries a historically negative connotation with it. Which is where I'm realizing I've kinda been sitting, because things really haven't shifted once you sit down and read the stuff that gets put out, and unlike some... other words its specific use case is a bit less easily swapped out with synonyms. So you just fall back in on the less ideal but accepted within the bubble youre working in term. So I guess the question is, has anyone here actually seen something make some ground past just sort of 'this would be a nice replacement'? I'd frankly love if I've just somehow missed a big shift in language in the scientific community, but so often I just see people claim that one term is the new standard when its like... standard in that its used heavily in botany, and there generally is a split between botany and zoology in terms of terminology that people would want to maintain. (God don't let anyone tell you 'male and female' are the only options or bring up that stupid 'its 1st grade biology' bullshit. The world is so stupidly complicated and this would not be an issue if it was so simple but unfortunately we need terminology for all the weird shit exclusively found in three species of cactus) Anyway, I typed this whole thing up kinda just to see if anyone else had yet more terms they've seen around or even used actually properly in a scientific paper, and its a whole mess thats been bothering me with specbio for years and at the end of typing this I'm honestly just hoping more that cosexed/cosexual catches on. I think it forms a nice trifecta with perisexed/intersexed/cosexed. And hey, maybe it has caught on more in the sex and gender side of things (let me know if so, if you happen to be more familiar with that) cause I certainly am more clued in to the non-human biology stuff which is where you get weird things one single species of rose has decided to do we now have to name. On a lighter note. God I hate plants. They give me headaches.

kitt you can't do that to me

....

did you ever find out where the blood was from?

unfortunately (or fortunately?) i did not

that school system did have a pretty hefty issue w violence though, so i’m assuming some 7th graders just decided fuck this and committed a violence

my personal thought is someone got beat down against the wall by multiple people bc iirc there were like smears in addition to splats

and uh. and then i went to art class and drew furries while being annoyed at my teacher (for being sucks) and my friends friend (also for being sucks. she had a tendency to punch people and then guilt trip you about being like dude don’t punch me)

theres a really. special kind of despair in the uncertainty brought about by moments of success and achievement. the inevitable “what now” of reaching your goals. and i kind of wish someone had warned me how hollow graduating university would feel, tbh
