learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way
#experiencing some BIG FEELINGS OVER THIS REVELATION#listen i have never ever been bothered abt not seeing someone in a while or making time to talk to them bc in my mind its like not thst muc#time has passed. i mean it with every fibre of my being that when im like 'oh its ok even though we havent talked in a while and have our#own things going on it doesnt mean we're not friends anymore since we left things on a good note 8 months ago' i sincerely believe that#and for the longest time i just thought everybody makes peace with it at some point and not automatically assuming the other person doesnt#wanna talk to me anymore or smth. my longest lasting friendships are with ppl who work the same way i just thouhght that was normal#whatever organ everybody has that makes them reach out to their friends and plan hang outs i probably dont have it#i was already hesitant to ask out Alex bc i spend almost every waking hour doing smth that isnt talking to ppl unless they happen to be in#the vicinity. and at first it was bc i planned on making sure i had everything set up so i dont get stressed out and do it one at a time#but then i find out theres a friendship decay mechanic? and after dating and marrying someone you lose -10 friendship points for every#day u dont talk to them?? actually ive probably been losing friendship points this whole time without knowing bc of this?????#and i notice a lot of my own habits are also reflected in how i play bc ive been avoiding getting close to pierre and marnie since its more#of a professional relationship. like i know theyre npcs but im approaching it the way i would in real life its fucking nuts#i think its a little relieving im playing /as/ a character than myself bc as im playing im just making up little interactions in my head#than approaching things the way i would myself so it takes a bit of the stress off trying to put myself in there as a spectator. but well#being in a relationship demands a certain amount of energy even more so when theyre things that already take up energy on its own#like making time to talk to your partner and make sure they know theyre loved. i dont always have energy to put all my mental focus into it#and this is true for real life so im not really bothered by not dating anyone. but when its a game and i want my character to be with someo#and i know its fully optional and i know i could just apply the same logic to this i dont /want/ to. sometimes i want to experience#the same things other people do at least to a certain degree without the same emotional andmental stakes#no offense krobus#yapping#stardew#stardew valley#puppy plays sdv#sdv#this game has me by the ankles man

What if when Rook chooses not to redeem Solas, the last thing Solas sees before he gets dragged into the fade prison is Lavellan. For ten years, he'd only seen her in her dreams, imagined her in the lonely hours of the night. To see her one last time, utterly helpless to move. Hearing her scream his name as she sprints towards him. To far to make a difference. Desperation lacing every syllable that leaves her mouth. The only words that escape his lips is a rush "vhe-", before he gets pulled in
#lavellan's life becomes a parallel for Telana#spending more time in the dreaming world then the waking#desperately looking for a way into his fade prison#when he finally breaks out#lavellan is long gone#he finds only her journals#and the voices of spirts that watched her desperate searches#she never gave up on him#another regret#sorry i just love a good tradegy#solavellan hell is a state of mind#solavellan#solas#lavellan#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#datv#dragon age

Sure they can! Haven't you seen your original theme song?
#there's 104 days of summer vacation#and school comes along just to end it#so the annual problem#for our generation#is finding a good way to spend it#like maybe#building a rocket#or fighting a mummy#or climbing up the eiffel tower#discovering something that doesn't exist#hey#or giving a monkey a shower#actually#i guess that one isn't fun#but there's still the other theme songs#let's see#what is not fun in each one#how about#slaloming on your rear end#i guess the only version without anything that's not fun is#the llws version

FINALLY!! At long last, I've gotten my hands on a Pumpkin Kitty, after a whole year of wanting and waiting.
Her name is Latte! (Short for Miss Pumpkin Spice Latte) You can also call her Miss Spice!
#I spent 10 minutes picking her out omfg#not even exaggerating. I was deciding between this one and one of the last 3 unstuffed PKs#altogether there was only 5 of them left in the store including the 2 stuffed displays#the other one I was looking at had a nearly perfect pumpkin eye patch but less pumpkins overall#and their face wasn't as nice plus the ears were a bit wonky for my taste.#tho it was really hard to tell which would be better while they were unstuffed and flat#in the end I chose Latte because right away she looked to have a sweet face. her ears were nice and she had better patch placement#including a couple full patches on her tail#tbh if I'd had the money I might have bought both because the decision was hard#the bear builder actually asked if I was alright while I concentrated on studying each of those damn cats#I apologized and explained wtf was up with me. she was very understanding#I've always had this quirk where sometimes it'll take forever for me to pick between plushies I really want#especially if they're both the same exact plush. because then I gitta focus harder on finding out which has the better personality#you get what I mean?#anyways this has been a thing for me even as a real little kid#I remember spending and hour-hour and a half almost every time when my dad took me to choose my monthly webkinz#“my monthly webkinz” god that makes me sound so privileged. it was the nicest/best thing my dad could afford to get me because we were poor#he wanted to spoil me as all good fathers do but that was the most he could afford and I was always so grateful and still am! but I digress#anyways I took way too long to pick which kitty would become my Latte#but I'm glad I had the opportunity to choose yet alone to actually see pumpkin kitty irl available for purchase#what do you guys think of her?#stuffed animals#plushies#plushblr#build a bear#BAB#pumpkin kitty

how long does it take you to draw your sketches/doodles? also do you have any tips to draw faster? 🙇♀️
I generally take 30 - 60 minutes a sketch,,,, but honestly really depends on how detailed it is.
Like a Chibi will be done in 20 - 25 minutes (Counting in the extra time I spend on minute details like a perfectionist 😭)
I for some reason really like spending egregious amounts of time on random objects too??? Unless it’s the in the background, I’ll spend 40 minutes refining it.
Random characters that are fully colored and rendered with take like 80 minutes.
The comics take usually take an hour or two per page. (If I decide to cross hatch it, my entire day will be gone with 4 pages… so I’ve been trying to find shortcuts. But not without sacrificing the quality for time lol)
I don’t think there’s any trick or magic to drawing faster. It’s really about weaponizing your artistic knowledge, and finding what’s comfortable or convenient for you!
There was a period of time where I would spend 11 or 12 hours on an illustration, and it wASS UGLYYYYY. (Some of these artworks are still available on my tumblr,,, but it’s SO LONG AGO, AND IT WAS MY 1ST OR 2ND YEAR GETTING INTO DIGITAL ART)
Overtime I learned what worked best for me, and practiced till I felt more comfortable with what I was drawing. Eventually I managed to shorten the time to 4 hours or less! Ambition was my biggest enemy but at the same time my biggest motivator. (And it still is LMFAO) 😭
EDIT (bit more to my way too long tangent): ALSO??? BRO DON’T BE AFRAID TO USE YOUR MESSY SKETCH AS LINEART OR DRAW ON TOP OF IT. I’VE DONE IT FOR YEARS NOW AND IT ADDS SUCH A GOOD EXTRA BIT OF TEXTURE,, AT THIS POINT I DON’T EVEN USE LINE-ART ANY MORE UNLESS IT’S A COMMISSION,, (IT’LL ADD LIKE AN 2-4 HOURS TO MY WORK)
#mushyrt#asks#that word minute bothers me so much#I look at it and want to refer to it as the time minute#this sketch took about 3 minutes when it should’ve been 1 minute#BUT I WAS SO HYPERFIXATED ON THE EYESSS#i say these pretty words#but THE REAL TIP IS HONESTLY THE LASSO TOOL#LASSO TOOL IS THE BEST#IT’S MY FAVORITE TOOL FOR MAKING BACKGROUNDS OR QUICK SHADING OR COLORING#OR ALSO THE MASK TOOL#TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM#THEY’RE SO GOOD#Procreate mask tool kinda sucksss#SO USE ALPHA LOCK IF YOU ARE A CONFIDENT PERSON#OR NOT AFRAID TO F**K UP#Bro I sometimes draw on 1 layer and use alpha lock and my friends look at me like I’m a menace#BUT IT!S USEFULLLL AND SO EASY#This little tangent definitely should’ve been my answer for the ‘how much do you draw’ question#but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time#AND I’M A MANIAC WHEN IT COMES TO DRAWING 😭😭#even if you rob me of a paper or pencil I WILL FIND A WAY TO DRAW#I WILL SCRATCH INTO YOUR SHIRT AND ROCKS AND MAKE AN ARTWORK OUT OF WATER OR CAT FUR#YOU WILL NOT DEPRIVE ME OF MY CREATIVE ENDEAVORS#This didn’t stick out to me until one of my friends said ‘omg ofc she’s drawing’ under her breath#like I spend every second of free time I have drawing unless I find something else interesting#The only time I’m not drawing is when I’m on the toilet or doing random everyday stuff#I forgot to talk about this but greyscale to color is insanely useful too; it teaches you different values while also being super fast#i tend to use greyscale to color when I do a BW sketch I end up liking#TL;DR - Lasso Tool + Layer Mask + Alpha Lock + Sketch as lineart

Gosh, do I love discovery writing. The freedom. The sense of play. The way you have to hold the material lightly and follow where it leads, never being afraid to scrap things that don't work or to rewrite to emphasize things that do. You have the fun of discovering the story you're writing rather than the frustration of being unable to capture the ideas in your head. This way might wind up taking ages, but it makes the writing process such a joy.
#adventures in writing#i stayed up until i'm-not-going-to-tell-you-how-late finding my way into my inklings story#good news: this process means that i like the story that's taking shape#it's not the story i had in mind#the concept is there but i'm not sure i'm going to be able to work my way to my planned inciting incident#but it's delightful so far#i started the story and spent an hour or more on it#then realized it wasn't working and completely started over#with new names for all the characters and places and a new starting place for the story#new way's working much better but i'm already considering how i can rework some sections and rename some characters#the great thing about this is the freedom that comes from trying something and then trying something else#the bad thing is that when you know every detail could impact which direction you take the story#you spend a lot of time carefully crafting the details#but there's a decent chance you'll completely rewrite the whole section#at least i've learned this part of the process and i'm not going to agonize over the timeline#the opening takes forever but i know once the story gets going the later parts fall into place more easily#anyway this'll likely take more than five days#but at least i'm spending the time writing instead of dithering over an outline for two weeks#and having fun instead of wallowing in frustration and indecision

#demifiendcruithne this one is for you. i don't even know if this is your favorite pokémon but when i see it i think of you bc of your icon#lordy this blog is getting more and more difficult as time goes on. apparently we've exited the era of models Just Working for me and now#i have to spend hours tinkering with them just to get the eyes to show up and even then they don't look nearly as good as they used to#when they Just Worked#the alolan forms are kicking my ass. and i even tried to use the swsh models for these guys since i assumed those would work#but now i'm finding out that the Entirety of gen 8 is going to be even more difficult on me#dunno how much longer i can keep up This act unless i find some way to make this easier on me#alolan meowth#update from the future: incredible thanks to jodie-blend here on tumblr for her endless kindness in helping me figure out how to do#this at least a little bit easier. they'll still look a little bit different but at least this has me covered for gen 9#but for cases like alolan rattata and raticate i'm still fucked. also gen 8 i'm still fucked#but. the complaining above is now a little bit more bearable

#David Tennant#Alec Hardy#Ellie Miller#Broadchurch#my gifs#Yes they're talking about something extremely serious.#But can you see soft way his eyes tenderly trace her eyes and just rest on her face like it's the best thing he could look at?#He spends so long just looking at her -- and she is so mindful of his comfort level and RARELY looks back when he's looking at her.#If he's looking at her she's always looking ahead or down or away.#Except if she needs to hold his gaze to get a message across. Like go make some tea. Or if they're both worried.#This reminds me -- she is so naturally instinctively understanding of him#We rarely hear her addressing him by name after the rant that falls out of him when he has dinner at her place in S1.#She gets that simply looking at someone while you're talking to them is enough. And you don't need to tack on their name on top of that.#Which astounded me actually! I wondered if Chris Chibnall had spent some time around an autistic person!#Because I feel EXACTLY like Alec does abt names! I hate names. I hate using them. It's so unnecessary.#I'm not as outspoken as him though so I use them when I can't get out of it. But I hate it and I hate ppl using my name.#That scene was ASTOUNDING I'm telling you -- it took my breath away to find my very specific struggle onscreen!#Anyway. Yeah. She doesn't bug him or insist even though to her it's second nature.#I bet you she's very good at coming up with pet names -- another thing my autistic brain shrieks at and sth I suspect Alec finds impossible#Oh Ellie -- beautiful beautiful adorable strong wronged Ellie!#Wronged by everyone except him <3#Well and a few others -- Mark was kind to her despite his pain. Brian never treated her badly that we know of.#I will always love them for that.#I wish Jack had survived -- I think he would've been kind too. Maybe she would've hidden in his store when it got too much.

… hm
#i think instead of freaking out and ‘going celibate’ i need to just be real with myself. i only wanna date or hook up with butches!!!!!#maybe only stone butches even 🫢#bc no matter how nice the person is or how well we get along it just doesn’t feel good to me. it feels like a round peg in a square hole#& this might end up with me becoming functionally celibate bc i can’t seem to find any butches (let alone stone) in my area who are into me#but that’s fine. it will happen eventually. and it feels better being secure in what i want to spend my energy toward#i have to stop hoping that the masc i’m meeting up with will be a butch in disguise (like. this is sometimes true. but usually not)#and i need to let go of the last of my internalized shame over being exclusively 100% femme4butch only. and picky on top of that lafdkjsfls#picky is a good way to be when it comes to dating and sex imo 💅🏻#personal

atla crack au where zuko and azula burn the palace down as kids (like 12 and 10, respectively, pre-banishment but post-grandpacide), run away to avoid consequences, and somehow end up "discreetly" living in the abandoned fire nation ship in the south pole ("discreetly" is a word which here means "all the adults know they're there bc they have massive arguments every other day, and when hakoda's nearby he "drops" things that might be useful")
ozai ends up blaming the palace fire on iroh and banishes him. he must capture the children to regain his honor (translator's note: this is adult speak for "get their asses back here so i can ground them for the rest of their lives")
#atla#avatar the last airbender#zuko#azula#fire siblings#somehow despite having lived isolated on a wrecked boat for four years they manage to still be spoiled brats when aang shows up#ozai is significantly less evil bc a) crack au and b) the burning zuko's face off never happened#like he still kinda sucks but he hasn't crossed the line from throne usurper to child mutilator just yet#azula spends half a minute trying to find a way to blame the fire on zuko before realizing that half the flames are blue#the plot twist is that they actually weren't (fully) responsible for the destruction#ursa did it#she chose terrorism ok#jet is her accomplice#like he hates that she's fire nation but damn if she's not good at what she does#jet: ok so how're we gonna get your children out before we-#ursa: fuck them kids#jet: ...dope let's do this

Hii I just finished the chapter 7 dlc and decided to write a summary of it for those who might be interested, since who knows if or when it'll be localized ! I've only done the good ending so far though, but this got pretty long as it so I put it in a google doc for easier reading.
You can find it here ! Spoilers for the whole thing obviously, except for the bad ending. (I'll probably add it when I get around to doing it!)
I'll probably take this down if it gets localized or if someone else does a full translation, but I hope this helps someone who might be interested :) it was really fun!
#death mark#im fairly confident since death mark is fairly easy to read tbh other than some very specific terms here and there.#this totally counts as japanese practice because i learned how to say antifreezer :)#it was already too long so i left some extra tidbits from side banter out buy#shou mentions hes working in an izakaya now and i think thats cute !! also moe mentions she has siblings#daimon is sooo cute in it actually so glad to spend more time with him#hes so silly sometimes. moe trying to change the topic before he goes off on a tangent when theyre actively trying#to find a way to escape.... i love him. gitl me too#also mashita drinks mostly brandy. good tidbit to know! i thought it'd be whiskey

My dad rewatching the FNaF movie with me: So that guy's the killer right?
Me: Yes! I'm kind of disappointed he's no longer British
My dad: He's no longer What
#I just thought matthew lillard doing a British accent would be funny#Loved the practical effects and everything#soundtrack was s tier#there's a slow middle section of the movie#but it was good!#I justified that phone guy was absent because the logical thing to do when you hear#'the bite of 87'#and 'its amazing the human body can live without the frontal lobe'#is to put in your 3 weeks notice and get out of there#despite what some people say I thought the dream sequences were a pretty neat way to extend the amount of time mike spends at the pizzeria!#because again when you find out the animatronics move by themselves its time to gtfo#i do think when vanessa threatened him with the rooty tooty mcshooty he should have probably quit#but you know can't have everything#these tags are getting long lets wrap this up#fnaf spoilers#fnaf tag#fnaf movie#five nights at freddy's#fnaf#ramblings of a stranger#special interest tag

Out of Alcina’s three daughters, Cassandra is the one that poses the most challenge.
Often times, Alcina doesn’t know how to proceed with her middle daughter especially. Cassandra is sassy, she has a sharp tongue, an attitude, can argue until she’s blue in the face, knows how to put someone in their place, can be very intimidating at times, and can hold a grudge forever.
The problem Alcina faces here is the fact that Cassandra is very much like her, personality wise. Like Cassandra’s fiery temper? Picking the right words to get under someone’s skin? Using sound logic to justify everything wrong that she did? Having a confident threatening aura just because??? Try as she might, Alcina can’t look away from how Cassandra takes after her in more than just looks.
Tl;dr, Cassandra has her mama’s personality and Alcina is often caught between “she’s just like me” and “I have to stop this” but since she’s a big softie and also realizing that this is genetic she lets Cassandra get away with A LOT.
#headcanon#house dimitrescu#cassandra dimitrescu#alcina dimitrescu#resident evil village#resident evil 8#re8#it’s not funny at this point because Alcina can see herself echoed in her middle daughter#out of the three daughters Cassandra is the one who takes after mama the most#this is why she is the one who gets into the most trouble and Alcina finds herself pausing at the realization that she’d do the same and#react the same way#she is amused but remembers that she has to parent her wild daughter not commend her for what she’s done#and in terms of looks Cassandra is the one who resembles her mama the most with her dark hair and golden eyes#Alcina just loves spending time with her okay???? she knows how needy and clingy Cassandra gets but she never voices it but mama can tell#when she needs to spend some alone time with her broody baby#a few hours of mama daughter bonding and Cassie is good for a while until she misses mama’s closeness again#like Cassandra is the more sensitive one but she’s the one who never expresses her feelings unlike her two sisters who have no problems#voicing their emotional needs#but Cassie is a different kind of delicate that mama can see right through
