Back on my embroidery bullshit

And yes it’s moomin again

#I have two motivations for doing this activity #1 #it’s really good practice for my job #I gotta do extremely neat embroidery there #and 2 #I’ve never been someone who likes colouring books so this is like that to me #it’s so therapeutic #I did it for 7 hours today #just cycling through projects #I don’t actually know what I’m gonna do with the finished pieces #maybe sew them onto a dress or bag or something I guess #moominvalley #moomin #sewing #embroidery art #embroidery #fiber arts #lulu blogs

portrait practice with SILO characters rahhhh (for each i tried to work from reference as much as i could and then switched to tracing so that they Looked Right.)

#juliette nichols did unthinkable things to my mind and body (reference to bigtop burger: kid)#you know the post about scifi being sweaty women in tank tops covered in dirt. yeah #the silo writers: ok so theres an antagonist who wears all black. and is the only one in universe to do so. and he has big beautiful eyes #they visited the 'My Favorite Character factory' and stole the secret recipe. i feel so catered to #the main character is a grimy autistic engineer with tattoos (for the first 2 episodes. then she gets a new job 😔) and i love her a lot!!!#its a mystery scifi. it's not what i usually watch but the worldbuilding was really good #you could tell the set and costume design had a lot of love put into them #and the plot was intriguing to follow #do i recommend silo?#yes. its a good show :)#these are portrait practices from august. faces are still currently my least favorite thing to draw but they are slightly easier now #silo #silo apple tv #art #my art #silo fanart

I know this goes against the Customer Service Canon but after three years of mostly being at home alone due to unemployment, I actually feel like it's been doing me some good being in my new customer service role where I have to be nice to people and act out being in a good mood. You know that rule about how faking a smile still releases the happy hormones? Feels kind of like that.

Like don't get me wrong, I'm still an introvert by nature so I'm exhausted when I get home. And I still get fussed at by angry patients sometimes, I still get rude people. It's not a walk in the park. But even when I wasn't working, I still ran into assholes everywhere that could ruin my day. Meanwhile being in a job where I have to interact with people and be helpful no matter what has led to me having a lot more positive interactions in a day than I've had in years. I get people expressing gratitude to me. I get to actually feel like I'm making a difference in someone's day and that I'm needed. Really feeling the pack animal dopamine that I've been deficient in for years that just isn't possible to get through the internet.

#I regret to inform the introvert hermit site that human interaction has been good for my mental health after all #devastating news #I still don't think this role in particular is my forever job because it's so hectic all day #literally nonstop Go Go Go the moment our practice opens #and that leaves me really drained #but overall I can tell there's a marked improvement from having interaction forced upon me

doing an illustration study with mafuyu’s new look :) )

#mafuyu asahina #nightcord at 25:00 #25 ji nightcord de #asahina mafuyu #project sekai #my art #aaaaaaaaaaa im kinda proud of this one aaaaaaaaaa #i dont usually like to draw portraits bc they bore me a bit.....#but i had this rare good day where i found painting to be really fun and relaxing #so i painted this just bc it was fun #it also made me realize damn i usually draw like im doing a job and just wanna get it over with...#maybe its bc im getting more familiar with the method of drawing that works best for me so its becoming more enjoyable?#anyway i really liked the unrendered version!!!! the rendered one is the final but i wanted someone to see the unrendered too bc i really #like it #thank you if you looked at it :)#i made it too saturated and happy though LOL #the mood of this character was supposed to be er more depressive...so hence the rendered changes the entire feeling #i tried to capture a rain mood i quite love doing atmospheric moods #i think it came out kinda good! until i look at it tmr and think no i suck though LOL #anyway it was fun to practice colors and moods and all that #lol tumblr is becoming a place for me to just dump my artistic endeavors

well.

I'm 30.

#one minute ago #damn I really REALLY thought I'd have my life more together #I mean to be real I 10000% did not expect to live until 30 good grief #but in my day dreams of 'what I might have been like if I lived to be an adult' this was not it #not still living like an emancipated minor in a 1 1/2 that's not even official it's more of a charity by the people who own the garage #that it's built in #not remembering to eat every day and eating the same 'gotta eat something' random assortment of whatever is in the cabinets #that I've been eating since I was 4 #still working 4 jobs and not having my phd yet #literally never gone on one date and still feel too young for a relationship because I don't ever EVER want to be that guy #who doesn't know how to do anything and expects their partner to take care of them #I can barely do laundry and I straight up refuse to do dishes #I buy paper plates and cups #I'm not going to impose that on anyone #I keep thinking when I grow up I can have a relationship but I'm not old enough yet #but buddy I'm a freaking grown up now #30 is no joke #it's official #I just suck.#it's not about age its about being a garbage person #like i would never ever EXPECT my partner to take care of me but in practical terms I would fail at keeping the house clean #and they would pick up the slack becuase they don't want to live in a trash hole and would get mad and/or bitter with me for making them #living alone my bad choices only effect me #when i've lived with roommates in the past this has always been a key point of breakdown #even when I've tried to be extra dilligent I would forget a glass somewhere becuase I planned to reuse it and my roomate would wash it #and be mad that I felt entitled and expected them to clean up after me when I absolutly did NOT in fact I was horrified #that they needed to clean something up after me- I just simply lost track of it. and that was 10000% unfun for everyone involved #I was ashamed 100% of the time and they felt used 100% of the time and no one had a good time

My favorite part of running Royal Archivist is definitely reading the tags people put in their reblogs. I really love seeing people react to goofy bits or wild lore, it's just fun seeing people crack jokes or roast their streamer or have the same reaction I did while watching stream.

This blog (and the VOD Timestamp Archive) take up a lot of time and energy I don't really have, but seeing everyone's tags and seeing the kind messages I get every once in a while thanking me for my work make me so :'))))) I know MCYT fandoms tend to have a bad rap, but everyone who interacts with Royal Archivist has genuinely so kind and funny (with one or two exceptions) and it's really nice to see. I love seeing the love people have for QSMP.

#mod talk #Your friendly neighborhood Archivist is having a rough one but I just got a very sweet message and it made me smile #I'm very bad at responding to messages I'm so sorry OTL #Tumblr doesn't notify me half the time and the other half my ADHD nerfs me and I forget that I haven't responded to someone #But anyways #I really do work hard to do good edits and good clips but sometimes I'm working on an edit at 2am like #''Why am I doing this. QSMP should hire me. I feel like an unpaid intern all over again.''#''I could do so much more work if this was my actual job I was getting paid for''#lmao #Ah well it's good video editing practice at the very least

My cousins made their own troll Ocs and I drew them in my style.

They were very excited about it

#my art #not my art #both #trolls #dreamworks trolls #they had a lot of fun making these #i actually really love the color palette for princess i think my cpusin did a very good job on that #claw is something else #he is a unicorn troll #neon green was an interesting choice but hey claw is an interesting guy #is it obvious idk how to draw country trolls lmao #ever since i told them i also liked trolls we have had our own little club #im their person who they can talk to about it #they will also just sit and ask me to draw tiny diamond and guy diamond over and over and over and over and over again #they really like tiny diamond #but hey i love those little guys so i draw the trolls they demand of me #they also asked me to draw poppy and branch so they could color them #i still have to finish my viva coloring page for them #the younger of the two who made princess is really good at color picking and color matching #she colored poppy without a ref and its p accurate to her colors #the older one who made claw used the ref for every color but he got pretty close when he tried to guess #the older one also misunderstood me when i said id been practicing art since i was 5 and thought i was this good since i was 5 #he was very depressed for about 15 minutes #it was really funny but dw i assured him that was not the case #but like for those 15 min he did not believe me #even his sister was like 'nono you didnt hear it right' but he was already in the emo zone #he was fine later tho and continued on making his troll #and also proud teacher moment but i had taught princesses creator some art techniques off handedly #not expecting her to remember any of it but then she did and apparent shes been using it ever since #im like omg i actually taught another human bsing something its insane

date outfit kitakata save me......... save me....

#kuwana jin #jin kuwana #lost judgment #judgment #jichanart #fic extras #fic:senseific #was itching to work on something related to kitakata on his date with yagami so. here #have actually drawn this outfit before but i don't like that art much anymore so. lol. new one!#the wrist cast is a new addition though cause i think it would be funny #it's not locked in yet BUT fingers crossed i can include it (something something plot)#anyhow other notes about this:#clean shaven bc it's kitakata as opposed to kuwana #jewellry bc you can tell he's really trying here #necklace to draw the eye to the chest #and earrings just cause i think he likes em. plus it's a fun extra detail for yagami to notice #kitakata doesn't get to wear em at his job so it's fun to have that little extra edge you know #i like to think his shirt would be fitted to better show off his arms and chest. he's been working hard on em after all #he can wear his canon boots cause they're practical. i also think he's wearing some cologne #if not for the cast he'd be wearing a decent looking watch too. again. kitakata is REALLY TRYING #and is generally a little more put together than kuwana is #anyway (chews my own arm) i can't write their date until i work more on the actual fucking PLOT #but i reaaaaaaally wanna make this happen so 💔#anyway. yagami shows up to their date wearing what he always wears. can we all make fun of him #because he thinks it's practical and he looks good (which is why he wears it all the time). kitakata is not impressed #ANYWAY #live laugh love senseific

I think there’s something to be said about my weird self fulfilling prophecy with Persephone, I don’t think she will ever stop being the ruling force of my life

#not meant in a religious way #or. At the very least not in any sort of practiced way of religion recognized by someone in a normal way #strong and complex relationship with my mother. strong and complex relationship with being a young girl who one day grew up.#just so happened to work out to be in a long distance relationship. my new job I’m working in plant and botanical design #and then there’s the whole thing about being really good at finding dead things #it’s always gonna cycle back to her in some round about way or another

giving myself a solid B+ grade overall for this month's apprentice tattooing event...... i did more last-minute appointments this time so instead of my scheduled 15, i ended up doing about 18 tattoos in total over three afternoons, and i only started getting clumsy and really mean to myself during the last three appointments on the last day. so that's pretty good i think????

#and also the girl i'm dating(!?) thought i did a great job + really likes her tattoo + still wants to go out with me so thats a win #but i felt like i was getting corrected like every hour about something i did that wasn't Quite Doing Exactly As My Mentor Would Do It #so it felt a bit like i was fumbling everything the whole time :((#but everyone liked their very cheap small new tattoos and i did a very good job keeping everything clean #and my needle depth and line consistency was a lot better #its just that like... the lines did still seem amateurish !!!!!!!WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE I AM STILL AN AMATEUR!!!!!! but disappointing....#wdym i'm not tattooing on real skin like i have 15 years of experience after only 2 months of regular practice... that cant be right....🧐..#anyways. no one's gonna get a blown out / scabbed over / traumatized skin scar tissue tattoo OR contract hepatitis from my work #which is all you can really ask for with a dirt cheap apprentice tattoo. like its not Beautiful Art but its all clean and correct technique #so..... win some lose some ig #sorry im really rambling in the tags rn for no reason beyond i need to write this all down before i forget. you understand of course #🦇#🩸

our office has been in renovations for what feels like forever and my team is very close to getting some of our new space. my dream. my absolute dream for my cubicle decoration. is a framed embroidery of this

i have never embroidered anything in my life but now that the time is near i think i am willing to learn

#it's really good as is but i think i would customize it to say either salmon or fish passage #but this meme is like....basically my job basically my whole organization's jobs. basically my whole field writ large #100% the vibe #''climate change and juvenile salmonid survivorship lecture series coming up'' oh....cool.......we are....trying to replace a culvert #the thing is though. the culverts do still need replacing. and it is a concrete (often literally haha) step. so. there's that at least #always got my little piece to work on #anyway the practicalities of this.....i dabbled in cross stitch once and never finished my piece #but i haven't embroidered at all #but if i simplified the design i think it would be very doable #oh there's also a chance i end up sharing a desk #and the guy i would share with i think would have really normal like family photos and i would be putting up memes #neutral zone in the middle with actual reference material #that's in my mind anyway

A fun fact about me is, that it's been my dream for a very long time to become a nailtech

#maja talks #I still haven't given up tbh #I just haven't had the money to buy all the stuff for it you know #i like to think my dreams are realistic #I need a job so i can buy stuff for gel nails and then i can practice and get good in my free time after job #a realistic dream if you ask me #my other dream is just to have money enough to live comfortably and a thing about me is i have never had a lot of money #so literally anything more than what i get from the state now is a lot to me and thus will fulfill that dream #like any fulltime job is like three times the most money I have ever had so...#also since i'm not having kids it'll be even better!!#realistic dreams I tell you #which reminds me i should really do my nails (with the limited amount of nailpolish I own lol)

i've got an interview today! it's just to see if i'll do this job as an undergrad baby-TA again next semester, so i'm not too worried. it'll only be 15 minutes, and i've been fine with the job this semester

#key speaks #it'll be a standard interview #but my answers to 'why ar you interested in the job' and 'what's your relevant experience' will be v easy #and i can bullshit my way through 'how can you help create an inclusive environment' easily enough #that's all they really asked us last year #maybe a couple more questions related to how to help students learn and stuff #but like #i've been taking a pedagogy course to do this all semester so i have practice answering those kinds of questions now #(unlike last interview. that was low-key a disaster and i'm p sure i only got hired bc the professor specifically recommended me)#(she though i would be a good fit for the position when i was in her class)
