Welding is so sick, can i ask how you got trained and how long it took?

I’m actually still in training!

So the thing is that after three years of making very little progress getting a degree I wasn’t sure I wanted I said fuck it and dropped out of university and used the last of my education savings to apply to a program at a nearby college. It turns out if you want to learn a trade you can just do that.

Admittedly I don’t have like a broad base of knowledge to help advise you from because I did this on a whim and also I am in Canada so things might work different where you are, but the program I’m in is seven months, covers the basics of oxyfuel, stick, wire feed and even a week of tig welding as well as a variety of other occupational skills, and ends with an exam that earns you your logbook, which follows you throughout your apprenticeship and your career as a welder. It basically sets you up to be in a position to get an apprenticeship and there are B and A level courses that provide further training and certification once you have enough workplace hours.

But what I cannot stress enough is that I did just very much look up trades programs in my area and apply to an entry level course with zero knowledge or experience with welding and now I can do basic stick welding in all four positions so like. Look into trade schools nearby and you might just find an entirely new life path you can take you never know.

#With acknowledgement of course to the barrier that is getting funding #my program's tuition was about 3000 dollars and I'm hoping I didn't fuck myself over with the loan I took out to support myself doing it #but we'll see #there are entry level welding positions where you can make 30$ an hour so I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it #We are doing tig welding this week which is something that you can make like #180$ an hour doing if you get good at it #so you know seems like a skill worth picking up if you can hack it #it's expensive cause it's hard tho #and also cause the equipment is expensive lmao #ALSO it's so quiet #that may not seem significant to you but I've been stick welding for a few months now #and that shit's noisy #so striking an arc with a tig torch and having it make like zero noise #is almost unsettling

Hi!!!! I am literally foaming at the mouth about this story. Do Wade’s eyes really turn red or is that a stylistic choice?

The red was a stylistic choice (eyes reflecting the fire/ash etc). In my head I see Wade's eyes as a milky, zombie blue.

And thank you so much! Welcome to the party!

#hunting!spider snippet #deadpool #he a creepy boi #i like the idea of his real eyes being almost more unsettling than his mask

I had too much fun with this. These are my concept art notes to determine how his facial anatomy works for my LoveLetter AU. He is semi-organic and rife with body horror.

#my art #spamton #spamton g spamton #deltarune #big shot spamton #big shot era #deltarune chapter 2 #sketch dump #concept art #loveletter au #loveletter #deltarune au #study #I want to give him a sort of uncanniness despite how handsome he is #A lot of dolls are quite beautiful but the longer you stare at them the more unsettling they can be #technically he is a puppet but I gave him doll-like qualities because they are hardly any different from my POV #while canon depictions of Spamton give him an undeniable and cute charm despite his strange proportions #I go for an approach where he could feasibly be played by a real actor. His strangeness comes from the unusual way he moves and talks #He's almost like those famous actors or musicians who get plastic surgery and look “okay” but still off. You know it's them but...

sometimes it scares me how well Lae’zel and Minthara get along

#the way she said ‘and what do we do with rats Lae’zel?’ almost made me send her to time out #love them both but when they’re together it gets….unsettling #me and Shart just sitting there turned on and nervous #lae'zel #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #minthara #minthara baenre

So the students of Amity Park have noticed that when Danny Fenton runs to the bathroom a ghost almost always appears right after, right? Right. And eventually it becomes commonplace for them to mentally prepare themselves and to pack up their stuff when Fenton rushes out the classroom.

BUT

What about the few times where nothing happens? Cause now you've got this classroom full of kids who just automatically shove their papers into their backpacks and just...wait. They sit there, maybe making jokes about who's going to show up and at first it's all easy going but then. Then the anticipation starts to get to them. It's that nerve-wracking feeling of Knowing something should be happening But It's Not.

There's a slight buzz of nervous energy by the 5 minute mark where nothing has happened yet. It sets them on edge. Everyone is silent, shifting their gazes from the windows, the clock, the door, trying to spot anything of the usual. There's absolutely nothing.

#danny phantom #danny fenton #amity parkers #danny's ghost-sensing bladder #the special fear that comes from an absence of routine #idk it just sounds neat #and is a really cool thing to imagine #cause it's a side of unsettling fear that isn't used often in media #but amity parkers would definitely be affected by #because they are SO USED to everything that goes on around them #so to suddenly have something NOT happen where it almost ALWAYS did #would at the very least catch their attention

Draw req..... seph braiding her hair like aeriths.......

(she has too much hair to put in one braid) what a good request my god anyways. time to feel unwell about sephagain.

THANKS 4 DA ASK!

#incorporating into my hcverse that seph has/had a habit of braiding her hair when she was alone just as like. an idle motion #id like to think that one of the very few scraps of choice/agency they gave her was hair length and it was sort of a rebellion-#- +gender thing to let her hair grow so long #also because i think theres something (maybe this is because im jp) sort of... unsettling? about really long hair bc in jp tradition you #believe that luck/curses/energy can be stored in the hair so u cut ur hair if u want a fresh start etc it just gives a very 'shes dragging #something dead and heavy forward with her' vibe #btw this is not my reading of canon this is just smt i MADEUP i dont thinkt he creators intended that w her hair lmfao #cave mail #ff7 #ffvii #sephiroth #fanart #transfemiroth #mine #also i have an aerith/seph hair braiding comic(?) lying around almost finished but idk if i should post it cuz i dont want ppl to think its #completely intended to be romantic or whatever when its more ab aerith

Close ups on the pocket details!!! I'm SUPER happy w how the top pockets look 😳😳😳

I think the variety of pride pins with the moral panic button/Mr Faggot beadwork just. Really sells it. Shadow the Hedgehog voice Pee Your Pants. If you're going to be a shithead about me I'm going to be really annoying and do a bit about it. Plus the little golden angel pin... ALSO really pulls the whole thing together. "God help you" Right in front of my guardian angel? Really? 😒And how could I not make mention of. The Skull. I love you The Skull. It's a button (not sewn on yet, pinned) that I filled the details in w nail polish. Oh yeah! Besides the bottle cap pins (acrylics sealed with mod podge and a prayer), the biggest addition there is the chain lining the pocket flap! I think it looks SO SLICK

The pansy was gonna go on the queer side, but then I got the boutonniere idea! And I think it looks nice! Kinda adds to the asymmetry of the floral print/plaid blocking. And... of course.... I have... my friends...... 🥺 Biggest additions here are the glow-star pentagram pin, soda tabs and the heart locket!

I don't really have many new additions to the bottom pockets. Not yet! The only thing I did was stitch one side of the handcuff chain, and rearrange the pins holding up the other side. The cuffs/scorpion was just an impulse addition before going to a concert. But I do like it! And it looks even better now! Meanwhile, that other pocket, I actually have no idea what I'll do. Sakura is just there cause she matches really well, esp w the angel pin actually!

#punk tag #diy punk #my projects #I FORGOT I USED THAT TAG .#also i AM gonna put patches on this thang I PROMISE. I WAS TOO SCARED LAST RUN. THIS RUN. WILL BE DIFFERENT.#again still waiting. but i really really wanted to show off/talk about the details!!!!!#i have sooooo many Thoughts behind this jacket like. an entire ideology. it almost feels like drag in a way #like! in the sense that there's a performance and art going on here. if my existence is inherently controversial #then i'm gonna lean into that. make you sit with that. and i'm NO LONGER CUTE ABOUT IT #<- guy who called himself cute yesterday bc I LOOKED REALLY GOOD. IT WAS AWESOME. OKAY #i forget i have a body and a face so much.#also! the cuffs!!! feel like a slight nod to the kink community. like. i really do feel like the demonization of kink #is the reason why so much. everything is so bad. i have thoughts about this but i can't fully articulate them rn #but like. points at the sign that says all queerness and esp queer expression is kink in the eyes of bigots #points at the sign that those are my friends you asshole. it might even be me. who knows....#any which way! really coming together! i do really need to get studs though i think. the. horrors.#and also i'll look sick as hell.#rn i feel it's... well. not exactly subtle but i am fortunate to live in a safe area. i live in mind your own business state.#not like. saying that to you i mean like that's the general attitude where i live LMFAOOO #the worst i've gotten is a lady saying 'god help you' to me in passing. and that was really recent #an indication of ohhh changing tides. unsettling. but also she couldn't even look me in the eye when she said that lmfao #any which way! i am thinking of my safety but also i do feel like i'm lucky enough to have time.#my jacket

Melotober - Day 17 - Cards

How about a different sort of fortune?

#Melotober #You don't want to know exactly how many days it took me to realize I could use Tarot Cards for this prompt #Rune Factory #Rune Factory 2 #RF2 #RF #Rune Factory Alicia #RF Alicia #Rune Factory Mana #RF Mana #IDK why but it definitely took me an embarrassingly long time to come up with the idea of.. Tarot Cards!#I think it only came to me on Monday. And then I was like. “WAIT I KNOW.”#I adore Alicia as a person and as a BFF to Kyle- and I like how rf2 started exploring villager friendships #Mana and Ceci would absolutely be the first to see the new fortunes... bless their souls #All cards are face down as I am not giving anyone the absolute wrong reading #a few min after midnight- got a little unsettled by some medical related things (likely long covid. ugh. Don't recommend.)#almost postponed but coloring was actually soothing. And that's why we do this!#See you all later #Margot's RF Art

live reaction to me finishing my mob psycho manga reread. Who let ONE get away with that. Also I watched the last 2 episodes of confession arc yesterday. Anime onlys I’m so sorry. you got screwed over with that one To Be Honest.

Anyway. the most important part of the ending overall was that Mob got a new phone that wasn’t built in the year 2004. Do you think he struggled with it

#if I went to actually get assessed for autism and showed them my mp100 colour coded notes doc I wrote whole rereading #they would diagnose me on the spot no questions asked I think #the page number is genuinely embarrassing I literally had nothing to do all summer #also I think Mob uses so many emojis. but Very Literally #he’s like wow there’s so many options to express yourself through text. he sends 🙂 this and doesn’t realize it’s kind of unsettling #dgheh #me talking #was slightly tipsy yesterday watching confession arc going ‘why’d they do this why’d they do this like this’#but every once in a while I’d go ohh I’m glad they did This #almost lost my mind but it’s probably not that bad #mp100
