Could you tell more about your face blindness, if you're ok with it? It's a kind of surprise to me that you have difficulty of recognizing people's faces because you are one of the artists who draw characters' expressions so intricate and eloquent, like a mirror towards their mental states. Do you think it has any impact on your art/art style?

First of all, thank you! I love drawing expressive characters ´v`

Sometimes I wonder if the face blindness is part reason why I choose to draw animals/furries/anthros instead of people, but other than that I'm not sure if it has contributed on my style.

#it's most likely an autism thing #I've struggled with identifying people by their faces ever since I can remember #discovering that it's an actual disorder was a massive relief #I had lived my entire life thinking that I was either dumber than everyone else or not trying hard enough #these days if I meet someone new and know for sure that I'll be interacting with them in the future I usually warn them beforehand #that I have this thing and I might not be able to recognize them next time #(or that I might potentially never learn to recognize them reliably)#and in my experience people tend to be pretty understanding #it's embarrassing to have to tell them that but it takes some pressure off #answered #anonymous

what is your least favorite thing about anderson 😈

the fact he doesn't wear socks.

There's "I don't give a fuck" energy, and then there's "fight genetically enhanced gun weilding Dracula in loafers without socks" energy.

This man seriously rolled out of bed, did the bare fuckin minimum. And said “yep. I can defeat the horrors like this”.

Edit: THAT'S PRESUMING HE CLEARED THE BOOKS FROM HIS BED AND DIDN'T JUST STAY UP ALL NIGHT READING

New Scotland Yard: Point of Impact (1.1, LWT, 1972)

"I thought they'd lumber you with it."

"Did you, why?"

"It's a touchy one, isn't it?"

"There's a policeman involved."

"Yeah, unpleasant."

"Always."

"You were bound to get it."

"Thank you."

"Would've never happened at all if it hadn't been for that blasted Law and Order Brigade turning up on the scene, bloody reactionaries."

"Look, spare me the catchphrases, will you? I don't understand what half of them mean, I don't suppose the people who bandy them about do either."

"Well, I happen to know what a reactionary is."

"Good. You must explain it to me in great detail. Some other time."

#new scotland yard #point of interest #lwt #1972 #classic tv #tony wharmby #don houghton #john woodvine #john carlisle #bryan marshall #barry warren #claire warren #shirley cain #brian rawlinson #norman jones #basil henson #mel martin #nicholas young #recently trawling a certain You based Tube‚ i stumbled across a user who has uploaded great swathes of old telly‚ to my delight. a lot of #it I've already seen or even own‚ but finding NSY was huge: I've wanted to watch this for a while but the discs are frustratingly hard to #come by at a reasonable price since Network (rip in our hearts forever) went under. so i guess this is my viewing for the near future‚#before a copyright strike inevitably gets them pulled (and i don't think it's every episode that's available either). the series starts #promisingly‚ eschewing a safe and steady introduction for an altogether more challenging issue based ep; a man has died during a scuffle #between socialist protesters and rightwing counter protesters‚ apparently killed by a police officer. our leads must investigate whilst #balancing the difficult tightrope of public opinion‚ avoiding either a whitewash or an unjust persecution. it's heavy‚ polemical stuff but #the script works hard to maintain balance and present nuance‚ with idealists and extremists on either side (and Woodvine's senior copper #stubbornly sticking his feet in the center). it's still copaganda of course‚ but intelligently done nonetheless #we don't learn a great deal about our two leads at this point‚ but their relationship certainly seems spiky (Carlisle is given to making #leaps of deduction and announcing moral absolutes where Woodvine is almost frustratingly impartial to the extreme). plus nice to see #familiar faces like Marshall‚ Jones and Warren among the supporting cast. a very promising opener

am i the only one who sensed some jilted lover vibes from jensen?

#burcon #cockles #thoughts #at the start of the panel and through a few particular interactions he seemed very standoffish #he was giving a little bitter and hurt and perhaps even resentful - maybe he only learned of misha's gf #at this con too! maybe it was news to him. on top of not seeing misha for months i can understand #if he was feeling a bit neglected and out of the loop. there's also the matter of misha's gf not being #in a poly thing with jensen and dee like vicki was ie. what she has with misha is seperate so i'm sure #that's another difficult thing to deal with knowing their time together is strictly separate #i've no doubt he wants misha to have a partner and be happy but there's an adjustment period #letting new people into your life and whoever misha's partner is now or in the future is going to #affect jensen on a personal level and moreover his relationship with misha. it's all very intriguing #and while i like what little i've seen and heard about this woman for misha i just think no matter who #she is it's going to take a toll on jensen's relationship w misha. i thought it was plain to see on jensen's face #during their panel: numerous moments where he was giving a poker face that wasn't covering a laugh #but instead like he was trying to smooth out his bitterness. or so my eyes and brain and heart tell me.#just various moments where things looked uncomfortable and jensen making off-colour jokes that didn't land #and which furthermore were barbed and snarky - not in their usual banter way but like he was lashing out #and using the excuse of chaotic panel convo to explain away his comedic pitfalls. but again maybe i'm #looking to much into it? idk. there are some lovely moments! fun and caring moments - but they #mainly came from misha's direction ngl. it seemed like misha was trying hard to keep the peace #while jensen was just running his mouth on comments and jokes that kept not landing - for me #everyone on my dash is loving their dynamic this panel - and i want to feel that love! it is possible that #learning misha has a gf has skewed my perception a little like i'm putting context onto moments #i otherwise wouldn't. but i also think i would've laughed and generally felt better watching their panel #if that was the case. idk. whatever the reason i do think something was OFF between them on stage #and it was coming from jensen from the start. misha picked up on it partway though but things felt #a little strained throughout. like jensen wasn't looking at misha as much as usual or reaching out for him #misha tried to salvage and not react to things. but both their answers to the last Q were passive aggressive af #and when they left the stage together they weren't close or touching or chatting like they usually are...

talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"

like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like

imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.

i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.

#i know and love so many people who have intense anxiety about their ability to create art and who are so hard on themselves about the result #and i think that's a REALLY easy thing to feel because creating is also vulnerable & physically difficult and there is SOOOO much to master #but i think for me the people who churn out 300 colored pencil front facing hands behind their backs oc doodles on lined notebook paper-#are the ones with the right idea. they're the ones i aspire to be like #i'm not saying i never struggle either bc tbh #as someone with depression and adhd there are times where the Act of Having Fun is simply not possible #sometimes i CAN'T enjoy things because my ability to feel joy is locked behind a barrier of my mental illness #so i don't think it's an Easy thing to do by far and I don't think you can just Magically Make Yourself Happy And Having Fun #but i DO think that experimenting in a low-stakes low-pressure manner until you find something that clicks in your brain helps #doing things for the sake of doing them is the only way to figure out which ones WILL be fun to you #not all of them will. some things will feel like a slog #but i think you have to look for the passion before you're able to face the slog #if you jump right into the parts that are Hard and Challenge Your Limits it's easy to spin your wheels and get stuck #but if you focus on the super small stakes and the things that are thoughtless and focused more on Sensation-#the sensory experience of mixing paint or the scratch of pencil on paper or the smooth way a specific pen makes lines-#then you can lose yourself in the physical aspect of it FIRST #and then once you've started really ENJOYING those sensations you can start learning new ways to use them #because now you have the drive to want to do more #now you have the desire to find new ways to apply this thing you like doing #long post #even longer tags #art #drawing #artists #art advice

watching a lot of cooking videos lately (great for background noise while working) and just saw one where a cat hops on the KITCHEN COUNTER while the lady is cooking 🤢 that is disgusting do ppl rly let their animals up there!! that kitty has stepped in its litter box maam!!! or it could shed on that counter!!! and you're prepping food up there rn!! ew!!!

#HOW HARD IS IT TO TRAIN A CAT NOT TO GET UP THERE.#thats a rhetorical question its easy!!! bc my cat NEVER gets on counters she knows better!!#she will sit with my dog politely on the floor when im cooking!! and wait like a good girl #they know if its something they can eat that i will give them a tiny bite #and if not they can still just chill in the room with me but like. idk #maybe my cat doesnt try it bc she sees my dog not doing it and learns from him? she also wont get on furniture she doesnt see him getting o #the exception is the toilet she LOVES sitting on the toilet (closed lid ofc) but thas just her being a weirdo #she also gets obsessed with shoes but if thats the worst thing she does then id say shes p well behaved jdjkfkj #she doesnt even hurt the shoes or chew on them she will grab them nd roll like a crocodile and then rub her face on them #esp sandals or crocs but ive seen her go after sneakers too. so cute #watching that video and seeing how much that grossed me out made me appreciate my girl x10 more. im going to buy her a new toy next time #i go out somewhere #which actually im tking my dog to the vet friday so. can pick them both up some treats <3 #(nothing is wrong w him its his usual grooming + arthritis shot but the vet is across from a pet store so <3 toys n treats for my lil guys)#sanchoyorambles

things keeping me together this week as I prepare for a brutal Milton exam and a philosophy final that's about to kick my backside:

that blessed sandwich and the fond memory of it

friends at the dorm and the shenanigans we get up to while studying and after studying

matcha lavender latte my beloved (I am running out of money to spend frivolously at coffee shops) (I have not been regularly spending money at coffee shops all semester so it feels justifiable to have Little Treats during exam season)

the promise of a SECOND SANDWICH !!!! on Friday (a personal gift to moi)

prospect of sleep

#my finals are kicking my backside and so's the lingering awareness that i am still not immune to the charms of a certain young man #and by charms i mean i learn new things about him and im like well i didnt need to know THAT #for instance did you know that he teaches sunday school at the church he's attending on campus?#i learned this recently and had to close my eyes and think hard thoughts #such as: well. many men DO. but the fact is that they actually don't.#i know this because i used to work in ministry #anyway the other boys i live with and know do not volunteer in ministry.#they're 'busy with school' or it simply has not crossed their mind to serve #the fact that he does and is intentional about it was like a slap to the face :)

I will likely never get to do anything with her

#my art #the band ghost #nameless ghoul oc #i mostly wanted practice making a character sheet ish thingy #and by god i got that #had to work hard for her colors which is not usually a problem for me #and the silhouette flip like if your character doesnt have a tail then bam its done and no one will notice the small problems #but it doesnt work with a tail if you want perspective i had to redraw/move her tail around to make it look right so. learned that very much #i like the layout concept though thats nice #i have a whole backstory for her. she was part of a group summon and it all went fine except that one person was missing and they ended up #with a statue. she was too terrified to talk to anyone so she got left there and after it sounded empty she reverted and found some place to #hide in the gardens. so she lives there now. and ruins a lot of socks. and helps with the plants not that anyone knows that. and panics and #turns to stone if anyone walks by. so everyone does realize theres a moving shifting statue in the abbey but no one is sure what to do about #that. doesnt speak much if at all. doesnt steal a new shirt bc people notice if those go missing unlike socks. has anxiety bitch face also #yeah. and like. i dont know what a fandom is and i certainly dont know what a music is and thats why ill likely not do anything with her #which kinda sucks. but i still made her a character sheet cause she wont leave me alone. and for the practice #cause if i think about doing a sheet for story ocs i get all perfectionist and it doesnt happen #the luck thing is that she kinda thinks being summoned was a curse #im gonna shut up now

I wish being weird and batshit insane was socially acceptable, conforming to societal norms is killing me.

#finding new friends is hard because they wanna talk about their life or say smth about the weather when i'm foaming at the mouth about #some gays either driving fast cars or fast bikes or in insane sitcoms the average person just doesn't know exists or like wont watch #why must we talk about the weather when i can explain to you in excruciating detail why annie from community is lesbian #“hi” and he said he cloned him with the dna of a homing pigeon so if he feels a compulsion to come back- hey where are you going man #but also talking in general is hard like no that's not the response i wanted but no now you're too enthusiastic so my mind tells me ur faki #not just this stuff but this shit id what i can say rn #anyway #my finals over time to deep clean my bedroom & find a relic from my toxic codependent homoerotic teenage friendship that blew up in my face #also languages suck i can't express myself in any languages i know i should learn german i've heard they have a lot of words #kevtalks #im very close to some sort of breakdown also the jury is still out for what kind tho and it's the fucking uni entrance's fault

#it's 1am and i'm depressed and don't want to go to bed #there's such an unbelievable amount of century-defining tragedy and horror in the world rn #and i know that’s always true but jfc we know about so much more of it simultaneously now #like i'm supposed to be chill and functional in the face of war pandemic climate change forever chemicals micro plastics and fascism?#and and and?#i'm supposed to smile and ask follow-up questions when people tell me about vacations to Hawaii #rather than shaking them and saying holy fuck stop doing that please learn about the ramifications and historical context of your actions #i'm supposed to smile and give a measured response when a new coworker asks my other coworker and me #when they can/SHOULD use generative AI *for work purposes*#rather than screaming and throwing articles at them about the environmental impact of LLM bullshit #and that's all large scale #that's not getting into the fact that there's a growing family chilliness over refusal to communicate about I/P shit #or the fact that my mom is dying slowly and hates it and is worsening her relationship with my siblings little by little #or the fact that I'm peeling away at my sanity trying to process a divorce and get healthcare for my cat and dental care for myself #or the fact that it takes hours of research to find DISH SOAP THAT DOESN’T KILL THE MICROBIOMES OF THE LOCAL WATER SUPPLY #(10/10 recommend 'blueland' for that if you're reading btw)#like i'm painfully aware of the back-patting level of efficacy that i have for buying different soap and going to the farmer's market #but there's only so much i can do so i have to try to do what i can right? but it's so little and everything is so much #and my mental health is a mess; the fact that my particular neurotype is known to get more volatile with age scares the shit oit of me #like it's this bad at 33 and it gets WORSE?#my job is great for personal privilege but so *so* meaningless and redundant #and how tf do i look at all of this and not feel fucking hopeless?#i can distract myself with my garden but the candide approach was myopic even in the 17th century so it's hard to justify now #I'm so tired #just... fuck man #tag rant #i should delete this but I'll forget if you read this far i hope it wasnt damaging to your mental health #i just had to let off the brain scream pressure somewhere

todays concepts to grapple with are “accept Done over Perfect” and also “change is an inevitable constant”, both are very good sentiments that will better my life when i accept them, but it also means not restarting my crochet project and to stop staring at my face so hard in the mirror, and ima be real both of those r suck

#i wanna redo a pannel on my purse. but thatd be a few hours of work undone and redone #but also id like if it were Perfect. but also i dont wanna redo all that. but also i wanna finish this so i can move on to other shit #idk i cant tell if its something ill forget abt eventually or if its an issue that ill look at every time i use the purse #im. hgggnnn.#the mirror thing is bc of the dermotilomania and also my face is changing bc lack of teeths #isnt a huge deal. but also sometimes i look at the mirror like. Who Are You #i mean. rapidly dropping 50 pounds and losing half your teeth and anxiety making your face the ultimate stim toy. its like. yeah of course.#of course i feel weird. it ties in with being sick. so much shit has changed my body and i havent processed it rlly #thats why im leaning so hard into making clothes and dying my hair. reclaiming what i can control etc etc #i try not to worry abt how i look. i try to just focus on gaining weight and keeping my illnesses managed #but sometimes i look in the mirror like. oh. this isnt who i was #but change is inevitable and i will learn to love this new me too :)#i made myself feel better just by talkimg this out yay #im gonna get super high and crochet YIPPEE!!

I don’t think hyeonseong needed to remember dokja’s order to think about him if something goes wrong. I think he’s just always thinking abt dokja

and I love him for that

#Loyal puppy man #going post #Orv #‘Hey can you hit me again? and do it really hard’ kinky #‘no wait. just kill me right now’ UM. I RESCIND THAT LAST STATEMENT.#I don’t remember what his new attribute is how is dokja gonna cheat death this time #HYEONSEONG CHARACTER PROGRESSION FUCKING FINALLY #I’ve missed him…. deprogram your military propaganda boy itll be good for you #‘There is no third option this time’ ok my first instinct was to take him at face value but dokja is always planning and scheming so #maybe he’s just saying that so hyeonseong will make his own third option out of determination.#to teach him to like… not rely on dokja so much #maybe not the best phrasing but I think u get my point #next episode and I’m immediately confirmed right. AWESOME but also #Would have been nice to have delayed that gratification for a bit #let me step into a side character’s pov for a moment instead of having dokja tell me everything #‘I thought you considered me the standard you should strive for. If so then do as I say!’ ‘That’s not the kind of book I want to go by!’#YEAHHHHH HYEONSEONG!!!! MAKE YOUR OWN BOOK! GET THAT CHARACTER GROWTH #‘I see. Well done.’ Dokja you want to be a constellation so bad #It’s already been confirmed tht that’s his goal but it’s been so obvious for a while #Like he keeps putting himself in mentor roles all the time. n constellations aren’t necessarily as close mentors as dokja has been #But they’re still essentially That #WAH HIS HANDS?? HUH???#yeah yeah uh huh I was right dokja was helping hyeonseong learn his lesson on his own also HIS HANDS?????#*HIS ARMS???* GUYS.#‘until the scenario reaches an apocalypse’ bestie ur already in an apocalypse #Ofmy god he has to melt and then cool down a thousand times? what the hell #HUIWON CHARACTER PROGRESSION TOO?? YIPPEE!!!!!#aww a hug……. Even though he must be fucking scorching hot…. How sweet ^_^#and hyeonseong was so polite too he’s such a sweetie #oh I was confused for a second but he literally snuffed the flame! smart
