Also, I've been timing myself bc I plan to charge by the hour, but at 2 warps I'm not even 1/4 done just with making the warps--there's still dressing the loom (I honestly anticipate this taking 10+ hours per panel, and that may be a wild underestimate. the last thing i put on this loom was like 100 ends if that and took 8 hours, and this one is 324), weaving the panel, cutting it off the loom, washing it, doing that entire thing 2 more times, then sewing all 3 panels together and hemming them.

And im at 10 hours, having only made 2 of 9 warps.

I'm not charging less than minimum wage in my city (which is just under $16, and STILL NOT A LIVABLE WAGE HERE) and frankly was going to charge $20 (given that im not an utter beginner, and have a few decent weaving projects under my belt), but if I did I suspect this blanket is going to cost several thousand dollars.

This is my rich uncle (as opposed to the rest of us, who are poor) but I'm not sure he'll be willing to pay like $5000 for a blanket. Which is fair. Who would...

#i hate pricing things so much #like with the amount of work ive put in plus just the materials ive bough (and i will need to buy more)#its already at $400 #i very much need him to take it so that im not in the hole for materials so it needs to be an acceptable price for him #augh. whatever. im just gonna do warp 3 now #and then take my worry out on the garden. or maybe i should do that first #weaving #woven blanket #commission

#what made you change your stance anon #lmao you guys act like you know what I think or feel #i criticise and say what I feel like I have to say because I have opinions and I don’t like some stuff #i decided to take a huuuuuge step back from fandom #i don’t interact with anyone anymore and I don’t engage with much content #i decided it was better for me to not know #and i saw what being an opinionated person in this fandom means #it means you’ll feel alienated and you’ll get a lot of hate #and quite frankly it’s not what im here for :)#im not trying to appeal no one. the people who know me on here already know my stance and what I stand for #plus I dont hide #you mentioned babygate and I dont think I have changed my approach to it #but i dont think we’re moving forward with that. it’s not going to change or stop or anything #i have to accept that that horrible stuff will stay longer than I will #(one of the last moment of struggle for me was the chickengate iirw and costed me a looong list of block and hate messages)#i think i am now at peace with him #i am healthily recovering and now im doing much better #i really like him and his music #i like going to his shows and I really think he’s genuinely a nice guy #and i think that’s it. i don’t feel safe sharing my opinions on here anymore #only here for fics and personal stuff :)#hope you have a nice day!

almost 4am can't stop thinking about the meaning of the idiom 'to have blood on [someone's] hands'—to be responsible for a person's death—combined with the fact that Zach is the one we are specifically shown with Daryl's actual blood on his hands (once for real and once in a dream)... Not Josh who had been holding the sword Daryl fell onto, but Zach who took the sword out.

#super dark times #+ part of it that's insane to me is: Josh COULD have easily ALSO gotten (literal) blood on his hands—we see him go to check for a pulse #after Zach did... but we don't see his hands during that—they're left out of the shot! we just see his face. and when we see his hands next #there's no visible blood on them (if any got on he theoretically wiped 'em off ig? similarly Zach's hands when seen AFTER the shot of him #touching Daryl ALSO don't rlly show blood anymore—we see his hands in the leaves tho so it prob went there) BUT SO there was a CHOICE made #to give us a close up shot of ZACH pulling his hand away from the wound with blood on it... but to NOT do the same/smthn similar with Josh.#and yet ZACH is the one who CAN'T ACCEPT THE ROLE HE PLAYED IN ANY OF ITTTTT!!!!!!! GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!#this post brought to you by me rewatching the Zach + Charlie on the phone scene and needing to just. stop and scream at Zach being #like 'Josh‚ or fucking somebody else‚ they went up there and if they found Daryl alive—' LIKE BRO. YOU *KNOW* HE WAS DEAD.#YOU KNOW. YOU KNOOOOW. YOU WERE THERE. YOU KNOW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. the denial. the trying to find any fucking way that #there could be even a sliver of a possibility that it WASN'T even PARTIALLY his fault.... shifting the blame entirely onto Josh...#[plus like. the 'somebody else' only added in after Charlie was giving him shit for trying to complicate this more—at first he was #straight up saying Josh was the one that fucked with the body]... aghghghsfd he makes me INSANE #also fwiw. i'm forever a 'Josh didn't harm anyone on purpose until AFTER his fight with Zach at Zach's house' truther. that provides #at least SOME sort of motivation to push him over an edge into... the shit that happens. anything before that just fuckin' doesn't make #sense. To Me. ive already written a lot on my thoughts about all of that though [uhhh in the tags of my gifset of the fight at Zach's house #anyways. im also NOT trying to say 'ah so we should Just Blame Zach' because nah nah this whole thing was a fucked up accident. they're all #to blame. plus Josh did horrible shit at the end On His Own there's no way of getting around that—but the messiness of how Zach handled the #initial incident and how that ripples out across the whole movie is simply soooooooo... ghghGHGhghGHGhghghgh. To Me.#in conclusion: im soooooooo normal about the characters in this movie (<- lying)

much to consider about jordan not drinking alcohol but liking something in her hand. about her calling nick an accessory as well. therefore heavily implying her preference for woman and lack of romantic and sexual interest in men

and then after myrtle is killed and she invites nick in for a birthday drink, he says ‘you don’t drink’ and she replies ‘well maybe i should start!’

interesting

#while jordan isn’t explicitly a lesbian she does end up dancing w more fem presenting ensemble than masc so it’s a bit of an assumption #that plus the accessory line #so in this moment where she’s FRANTICALLY trying to hold it together (as narrator of the Old Money and parties and rumors and whatnot)#it feels like she’s grasping at anything stable. and she knows nick. and heterosexuality is safe #she saw a woman dead. nick said he’d explain to her earlier that day and im sure he did #she knows who myrtle is. she understands what happened even if she thinks gatsby was driving. she sees everything imploding #and a lot of it already had. she’s a bystander having fun and enabling people and taking advantage but she doesn’t want things CHANGING #nick come in and have a drink! he doesn’t want to hang out with these people anymore. what people. me? you? we’re just like them.#what is there to celebrate nick asks? there’s never BEEN anything to celebrate they’re just AT these parties #nick is trying to leave. maybe she wonders if she can keep things the same by being acceptably heterosexual #i don’t know i just suddenly found this very interesting it hasn’t marinated in my brain yet #not pjo #chitter chatter #all the worlds a stage #gaam #gonna go back and add this tag to all posts eventually

I KNOW every person says this about every medium, art form, hobby, etc. ever, and always specifically about whatever time they get really really really into said hobby BUT i do genuinely think, at least from a software perspective, that we're probably on the cusp of some kind of vocal synth renaissance. the scene never died or even wavered, but with the sheer amount of new software coming out both paid and free, voicevox getting a singing update,stuff like OpenUtau making compatibility easier... i don't care for subscriptions so im only interested in their perpetual licenses but i will admit voisona's subscription model for voicebanks has a lot of benefits for those who just wanna use a voice maybe once or twice.... there are so many robots to make sing you guys. there are so many.

#im learning about diffsinger in openutau rn. the kohaku merry bank sounds SO so good like i already loved her utau #but her ds has like. this extra huskiness thats so nice. excited to see how i can play with these things!!#i feel like another new group of voices to mess around with was just plopped in my lap hkfsjhekrfas #but yeah. all we need is like a new utau-making boom and i think we'll be fully in it #make a cv utau. do it now. do it NOW #i love cv banks. people dont like em but i like their efficiency. plus there so easy to record that you can like #do all kinds of weird unique voices. i think its fun!! ive been getting really into the windows 100 utau recently #those i believe come in both cv and vcv most of the time but in general i just love how unique some of them were #kachanloid rules. and the grandma. and the wrestler. and the middle aged man #so so so awesome. make a weird utau NOW #i do wish openutau had more layout options tho. i get why its a bunch of separate windows and all #but i do hate juggling them all around like this orz i wish it was like photoshop or gimp or something #where you can pop out everything as separate windows if you want but can also have them in one window with tabs if you prefer #but even then i'd accept just having play controls on the part-editing windows. it does suck flipping between them to listen #to the thing you just pitchbended orz but i still love you openutau. especially the vocal color functionalities #its so versatile and editable i love it. now you can finally use all the appends at once easily!!!!!#so so cool i think its a bit of a game changer for open source vocal synths like this

@ the people saying kind words and offering me english alternatives for the czech in my last post

first of all, I know you mean well and I love you to bits and I'm giving you a little kissy, ok? But... guys I do know English phrases... hahhah

Listen,,,, I am chronically online and I do actually have a certificate from C2 exams that is just 5 points shy of being 100%. I Know it absolutely doesn't look that way but that's just because I'm the laziest guy around and I don't feel like fixing it after myself when I have the excuse of being a foreigner- sahdjsd

so when i use czech words it is not out of the necessity of not knowing any substitutes but just me goofing around and going haha funny word go brr

#man this is probably coming of as mean and super defensive but its not supposed to be 😭😭 (tones still hard in any language)#it is genuinly super nice of you to try to help out!! and you couldn't have known so 💞#but just throwing that out there....jasdhksdj #o(-( man #ykno like i said throwing in cz words is just me having fun with it #since its my scribble side blog and all that #because due to spending almost all my free time connected to english-centric internet my own language/culture took a bit of a backseat #like even in my day to day life which is very prevalent among lot of foreign people today #but i wont get into it now it doesn't rly matter #so me throwing in some funky words is me just having fun around and trying to bring some of it back while i doodle #but looking back at it it is prolly weird to do since ykno its Chinese so what is cz doing there and no one will understand it anyway #so ppl are probably left feeling confused or cheated out of something #so i should probably just stick with eng alternatives #oh well #idk why im even making this post this has completely derailed ashdk and again I'm not mad at beloveds who commented and left tags #it just made me think #and overthinking hahh bcuz im in the middle of stressful projects #plus tHE STUPIDASS UNI DOENST WANNA ACCEPT MY MONEY OK PLEASE TAKE IT I BEG OF U I WILL PAY EARLIER NEXT TIME (lying)#anyway thats all jhds uhh bye #wait im already having regrets about making this post in the first place man but i did spend valuable time typing it out so ughhh

YEAH........... YEAH..... LIKEWISE, NO NOTES AT ALL, THAT'S EXACTLY IT... Main antagonist deaths are often treated as "comeuppance," but that would be the ultimate comeuppance for Aoki. As it stands, the only people who actually suffer for it are Ichiban and Jo, and Ichi didn't even do anything wrong. Also please I'm positive there's more to wring out of Aoki and Jo for an essay 😭😭at the very least, I always love to hear your perspective!

"he'd made a social circle for himself where people predominantly liked him for the power and influence" <- incredibly Mine-core of Aoki btw (I also feel the rest applies a little in terms of Mine probably being very quick to write off people who Do care about him as not caring about him, as with Katase, but it's nowhere near the extent of the Arakawas)

Wait actually it's kind of funny... for both Mine and Aoki, I was so sure their endings would go a certain way. Mine and Kiryu'd fight Richardson off together and Ichi'd, I don't know, shield Aoki or hug him so Kume couldn't get to him in the first place, or after that INSANE direct parallel to Arakawa running to the hospital with Masato, he'd miraculously pull through like he did on New Year's. Tormented with visions of the better timeline... With Aoki in particular, it makes me want to tear my hair out because the moment of him choosing to put the gun in the locker was REVOLUTIONARY for the series, looking at the characters he was most heavily based on.

Anyway. Bottom line. These bitches need to hug it out. It was so evil Arakawa didn't hug Ichi at Omi HQ or on the waterfront like bro stop being """manly""" for five seconds you're ruining my life you're ruining your own lives

There'd genuinely be nothing more painful yet more satisfying for an antagonist than being confronted with the consequences of their actions and having to navigate life after having making those decisions, ESPECIALLY when it comes to mending the bonds that- for anyone else- would have shattered long ago. With Aoki being motivated by the want to be loved and appreciated for himself, it would've been nice to see him finally acknowledge that he did have that love and start to better himself as a result (however much he'd be able to while in prison anyway lmao).

The Mine and Aoki comparisons are so real though, I remember joking to myself about it days after beating the game but it just fuels my mental illness every time I think about it ☠️ I LEGALLY AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO OFF ABOUT THE Y7 ENDING I'VE DONE IT TOO MUCH it makes me so mad every time I think about it 😭 ESPECIALLY THE PARALLELS WITH ARAKAWA AND THE LOCKERS UGGGHHH IT COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH AN EPIC CONCLUSION WITH THAT... Arakawa running from the lockers at the start of Aoki's life compared to Ichiban running from the lockers and getting Aoki to the hospital so Aoki can restart life I'm Going To Kill Someone (myself) (in Minecraft)
