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

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.

#the other thing i love about it is that in a very real sense it's his actor day job that is his alter ego #being an exorcist is his normie job. he's just a famous celebrity on the side #which isn't that uncommon in secret identity setups but it's still very funny #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi #natsuyuu meta #my posts #f #i think probably the actual answer is that acting was a very natural career choice because he already masks so extensively #both to hide that he can see things other people can't (and that youkai exist and that he exorcises them)#and to hide what he's really feeling so that no one can use it against him #so if it's already something he has to do & he's good at it...why not have someone tell him exactly how to do it & get paid for it?#and the other part of the answer is that most ppl don't go into acting assuming they'll get famous. the fame was a side effect #so each decision as it was being made probably made perfect sense. but put them all together #and you have this hilarious assortment of elements that seem to directly contradict each other #okay also i would be remiss if i didn't mention the other possible answer which is that the attention came first and was unavoidable #and the acting developed from the need to protect himself from the attention that he was going to be attracting no matter what he did #because he's so beautiful. and (in the exorcist world specifically) because he's the last of the natori #the more i talk about it the more i'm like no becoming a famous actor was the only path that made any sense for him lol #1) he's gonna be watched no matter what bc he's him -> gotta figure out how to hide his secrets -> learn to act as self-defense #or 2) he's got secrets -> he's gotten a lot of practice hiding them -> hey you could make a career out of this!#all roads lead to actor natori shuuichi. and since he's beautiful...all roads lead to FAMOUS actor natori shuuichi #i love it when i ramble so much in the tags that i end up contradicting my own post lol #he's neither thinking ten steps ahead nor is he irrational. he's simply making sensible individual decisions #that follow logically from what is available to him and what his priorities are

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

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

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)
