wanted to take another crack at modern les amis (plus extras) since it's been a long time since i've done so !!
#les miserables#les mis#les amis de l'abc#enjolras#combeferre#courfeyrac#marius#cosette fauchelevent#eponine thenardier#joly#bossuet#musichetta#bahorel#jehan#feuilly#grantaire#when i drew these out the first time i forgot to include grantaire in either lineup#and they were already sized and balanced on the canvases and everything so i just...separated him#originally i was planning on adding him to the second lineup but Grantaire Quarantine Zone is objectively funnier so i kept it#i'll be real a few of these designs are basically the same as what i did four years ago. but i didn't have any new ideas....#i'm particularly fond of this jehan though. also pleased with marius#cosette and eponine i just ported from year old sketches from the last time i tried to do these redesigns and failed#because i like them.#anyway! hi <3 hope people like these#crazy what graduating does to a guy. it's like i'm in my unemployment era but actually i still have two jobs#but with just the two jobs...i have time for hobbies again...i can be happy and free...

ok. someone’s gonna have to come get my dad or i’m gonna tweak.
#no bc he does this fucking thing where he talks to me like a dog? it could be for any reason. any. sometimes i just walk into a room.#and i can’t even BEGIN to understand what he means by it; if he’s trying to belittle me or if he just.#doesnt know how to talk to me any other way. but it pisses me off to no end cus it ALWAYS feels like the first one.#take last night for example: it was my brother’s birthday; and none of us had expected him to be visiting around this time#this is especially important for my little sister; bc she planned a sleepover with her friends several months in advance—#—to celebrate some of them graduating and one of them moving away.#so all night she’d been trying to get away. my mom told her after cake; so that was the original goalpost;#but then my dad just kept ADDING THINGS. first it was “after cake” then “after this; after that”#and this thing just keeps getting pushed further and further back#then he said “it’s trash day. collect the trash first and then you can go” AND MIND YOU ITS LIKE 7 PM AT THIS POINT#I CAN JUST SEE HER GETTING SO UPSET so i step in; tell her “i’ll take care of it; lets just go.”#AND MY DAD. MY DAD. MY DAD. omg.#he goes “wow!! so good!! 😁😁” WITH THE SAME TONE THAT HE TALKS TO THE DOG. WHY. WHY.#look idk what he means by it; he could just be filling empty space for all im aware; me and my dad have weird communication skills#but the message that it sends me is “who the hell do you think you are helping her right now.”#and that. makes me angrier than anything.#who the hell do you think YOU are trying to keep her from her friends. who the hell do you think YOU are TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT.#and i swear he could see that in my eyes cus then he goes “want some icecream 🥺?”#so i tell him “i don’t know what you mean by that.” in the flattest voice i can give#and he just throws his hands up in the air and g r o a n s as if to say ‘HERE WE GO AGAIN’#and i just. bite my tongue and drive my sister to her friends house.#but i swear he does this all the time. he just uses different code words. an old one used to be “mom made curry!” (my favorite meal)#and he’d use it every time he had something negative to say to me. yk. the same way you’d tease a dog with a treat to get them all excited.#“positive sandwich” is what he’d call it. a positive; then a negative; then a positive to make the whole thing ok#but yk a sandwich is always gonna taste like what’s inside. and brother; i can taste the shit between your buns.#yes i know how that sounds.#but yea. as soon as i got home he asked me if i wanted ice cream again.#rubbing salt in the wound? or just trying to curb my anger? i’ll never know. but it drove me upstairs for the rest of the night.#but yea that’s my little rant. someone come get my dad.#stan’s forum

a current day nils and a 90s college student nils who's way too intense about his internship walk into a bar
#hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii nils hiiii 💗🤭#let me get my important tags out of the way so i can write you a novella in the rest of them#ts4#ts4 cas#ts4 edit#the sims 4#nils#i've been exploring his character 🏃♂️#his full name is nils pelletier he's from canada originally he went to nyc for college and stayed there forever#he didn't grow up with much but he was really good at school so he got a scholarship and he was very very determined to become rich#he interned at frankie's dad's company and was offered a full time position after he graduated yayy you made it. i guess :| (evil company)#he's always been very stern very serious very quiet he's never had many if any friends. he was a deeply unhappy child#his parents weren't even bad they're nice and supportive and tried their best#he was married and has one son but he hasn't been married for a while. i don't know if it's divorce or death or what yet#it was the first girl he ever had a relationship with and he was also her first relationship#a very dull marriage but again not a bad one. she was nice and supportive and tried her best#it seemed like it was what they were supposed to do. get married and have a child bam done you did what was expected congrats#they barely ever even argued it was just. well loveless seems a harsh word. and 'well they were friends at least' seems untruthful#anyway he often has to be frankie's handler because frankie's dad is his boss and he does what he's told always#frankie's really difficult though

any tips for beginner artists?? I love ur art !!
thank you!!! Im not great at giving art advice but i can try lol…
here are some rules i try my best to follow to this day when im aiming to improve:
make art a habit: mileage isnt everything, but it certainly helps!! It’s much harder to improve if youre rarely creating.
dont be afraid of making mistakes, but always try to understand the mistakes you make. If something doesn’t look right, try your best to figure out why!! you’ll get better at catching yourself with time.
get to know the tools you already have instead of fixating on the tools others use. i find that beginners especially tend to obsess over the brushes/programs/tablet/etc. that their favourite artists have, but the truth is that artistic skill is transferable between mediums and no single tool is going to magically make you a better artist. its very easy to get caught in this trap, and i still do sometimes!!
draw the things you want to draw, even if you know they’re beyond your current skill level. taking risks goes hand in hand with my second point—the more mistakes you make, the more you’re going to learn!! and remember that you can always redraw a bad drawing.
go into a drawing knowing roughly what you want to create. mindless doodling is an easy way to make yourself believe that you have no ideas, and it can lead you to hate the act of sitting down to draw. you don’t have to know exactly what the finished product will be like, but make sure you have a tangible goal!!
these aren’t concrete rules you HAVE to follow by any means, but they are things that i wish someone had told me when i started out. i hope you find them useful!
#ask#i wrote more than i expected haha#Art school has done this to me#i dont like giving advice like “learn how to draw x first” because i honestly think that you should start drawing things you like#I really think you can start anywhere and still become really good#i didnt really start learning fundamentals until i had graduated high school and thats the only thing id suggest#The earlier you learn the fundamentals the better#but dont make yourself hate art by stopping yourself from trying things you havent learned yet

In case ppl were curious about the open hardware, open software gay ipod. As you can see, next to other mp3 players.... It's massive. But the good thing is that it should be easy to repair, customize and replace parts all you want. Also, unlike the other players (which are old tech by now), it has Bluetooth which is great. But the setup took the longest time, because I was having issues with the microsd card I was using. It would crash in the middle of a song and get stuck in a boot loop until I took out the SD card. I had to set up a dev environment to get the debugger running to find out that I was having the same memory allocation issue as the others. So I followed the suggested fix of removing all the album art on all the files, and it seemed to work for a second before it crashed again. In my desperation, I reformatted the card to FAT32 so I can put it back into my sansa, but somehow??? it fixed the malloc issues?? (before it was exFAT) So I'm just keeping my eyes on it and trying to actually listen to songs, but now i'm noticing some user experience quirks.
ex) on rockboxed sansa if I select a file from the file browser, it plays the rest of the songs in the folder and even moves onto the next folder if I reach the end, but Tangara only loads up that single song into memory. You can go through the 'albums' menu and select to load the entire album but still, it only plays that the album and doesn't play any more than that. sometimes I just like going through my own file structure rather than the indexed database, so I wish there was a better experience there.
The scroll wheel is a bit finicky imo, even after I've adjusted the sensitivity it takes me SO many tries to get the dial to move up just one entry. Sometimes the small controlled movement I'm making to go up just one line registers as a long press, which makes the UI jump up a whole page. I think there are some feature requests that are asking for a "hybrid" approach of it acting like a button and a scroll wheel so we'll see where that goes!
Under the cut for the other mp3 players I have
Sansa fuze has a bad screen, I think I messed up the ribbon cable when I opened it up to clean. Just gotta go back in there and fix it again 😭. Also the mechanical wheel (which is a rubber coated plastic) is STICKY because the rubber disintegrated, so I really do have to open it up to disassemble everything to clean it out. But otherwise it sounds great, takes an SD card, compact and customizable enough.
The Ipod mini has a bad battery that I replaced but the rockbox + sleep state messed up the new battery and it won't hold a charge anymore so, I put in the original battery and reverted it back to the original software which SUCKS bc itunes (I think u can foobar2000 it actually, but haven't tried yet). I don't think rockbox and ipod mix very well in terms of sleep state which is so unfortunate because I love the feel of the hardware but hate the software.
The sansa clip+ is the first one I had and still is thee best, it just has the smallest battery of all of them :( rockbox works great and it has never let me down!
#tangara#i know i should post on the forum or file an issue ticket on codeberg but i just needed to straighten out my thoughts here first.#tangara devs are doing their absolute best and i trust them and the open source community btwwww#i just wish i didn't erase my C knowledge immediately after i graduated bc i remember really liking it - memory management and all that too#so i can contribute but my brain is mush 👍 idk how i worked as a dev for four years

had such a good time im going to think and smile to myself for the next two weeks
#talked to THE senior for first time oh my god i can try to act nonchalant but he's definitely something not the college trophy for nothing#im definitely so influenced by him#he's graduated now and i thought id never get to talk to him but i see him in person in starstruck more than ill ever be for any celebrity#my eyes keep looking at him all the time just to makeout what kind of person he is#and ofcourse hes just normal but thankgod i got to experience it#the confrence the people everything was so grand it makes you want to get better and bigger in person#and to remember how it feels like to speak again its a shame i don't do public speaking enough even after seniors asking me to do it#its so powerful i was so good at school and i know ive the potential for being a good orator no idea why im holding back#the only way for me to feel alive is to attend these conferences and talk to great personalities and realise how big the world is which can#seem so small when you're stuck at the same university between same hundred people#argghgff my heart is glowing bright red

fellas the book 7 update…. *crying*
(refer to the tags for my rambling, just to minimize ppl accidentally spoiling themselves)
#sandy blabbles#twst#Book 7 spoilers#dude ace loves his friends sm#His happiness including yuu’s own happiness—where they get to go back to their home but also still be able to stay in twst; still get to ha#Hang out and be friends. Never having to say goodbye.#I just…heart shackle my beloved they could never make me hate you#It really shows how much Ace truly loves his friends and how he doesn’t WANT to part with them; say goodbye and sever his ties with them#Its actually rlly similar to Malleus’s whole OB thing; both of them fear the imminent parting of their loved ones#I think it’s really noteworthy that Ace’s happiness gets predicated on Yuu’s happiness FIRST#I think in reality deep down he FOESNT want Yuu to go back home; because it’s likely that their way back home is a one way trip.#It’s not like graduating and going back home. In this case Yuu is gone. Period. They existed in TWST in one moment and the next they cease#However he also knows that them staying in TWST would only be painful; they had a life before NRC and to make them say goodbye to that fore#Is something he also doesn’t want to do; the fact that one of the core false memories the dream is built upon is YUU’S HAPPY EXPRESSION at#Crowley finding a way for them back home is…*chef’s kiss* so ofc the ideal solution for him is to let them travel between world’s; that way#The both of them can be happy; Yuu can go back home but still be with Ace and their friends. Dude I’m just so fucking touched—Ace has#Infamously bad emotional communication yet he cares and loves sm. Yes he’s an ass yes he’s a jerk yes he’s a selfish teen boy; but he’s *ou#Asshole. Who will have our back as we do his; who will be happy with as he is with Heartshackle. When you get down to it Ace is sentimental#Whereas Malleus’ solution has involved him selfishly restraining the ppl he loves in an effort not to lose them; and ending up alone i#Ace’s UM defo coming in Book 7 (or 8; him getting his UM during a confrontation with Malleus would be very fitting)#It’s almost poetic how traitor ace theory is simultaneously torn away but also…not with his dream.#The fact remains that he cares for Yuu and doesn’t want them to go; those feelings which are core to the theory ARE there. But at the same#Time he’s not selfish enough to do that to Yuu…sure there IS the question of how he would treat the situation in reality rather than the#Ideal dream but I think that by the end of book 7 any lingering feelings he might have of keeping Yuu in twst; even to their detriment will#Fall in the face of malleus who is emblematic of such desires. Book 7 will end in Ace wholeheartedly working with us to find Yuu a way back#Home. Because if that’s what will bring them happiness; even if it’s a happiness Ace will not have been a part of for long or much longer#Then he will do it. Even if parting is painful having the people he loves be in pain for the rest of their lives (ie Yuu being trapped) is#Far far FAR more painful then parting ever could be. Because for as much as Ace bullies and pursues being a cool kid#He will never be able to stop caring and loving his dear friend#(Also couldn’t fit this in but the fact that he was able to be so rational while delululu when resisting waking up is SO on point

can you imagine being a little twee simon and garfunkel fan in the late 60s and then buying your new vinyl at the record store and hearing mrs. robinson for the first time in your own home. i would’ve fallen over backwards
#i don't know if i've ever mentioned this--and i dont even remember why this is the case--but mrs. robinson was one of the first songs#that i ever knew in this lifetime. like. when youre a little tiny baby and youre barely aware what music is#and you know the words to the chorus of at most like 15 songs. mrs. robinson was one of those songs and i dont remember why or how#probably my father? he's also the reason that i knew the beatles when i was that young too#he also played a lot of bob marley and elvis. we used to have little dance parties in the living room after watching shrek every night#where he'd play his music. but i cant think mrs. robinson was one of those songs? its NOT a dance song#(i can try though. you cant stop me)#text post#simon and garfunkel#but yes this also does mean allstar by smash mouth was also one of those first primordial songs on my consciousness#mrs. robinson really though is such a beautiful and clever song im never gonna be over it#simon and garfunkel is one of those few bands where their most famous song arguably deserves that status in their discography#altho that did get a little different after i watched the graduate as a teenager lol#but the song. didn't slap any less naturally. it just had a new association#also fun fact i don't know at what age i learned that mrs. robinson was by simon and garfunkel#at least until i was like 10 i thought it was by the beatles?

guys i need y'all to remember that superheroes have existed for So Many years . so you get to ask yourselves "woww why didn't you save them" . Superman where were you during the 1986 Challenger shuttle disaster . Spider-Man how dare you let 9/11 happen
#with 9/11 its especially funny because like. i dont think the comics animated series and movies COULD just ignore 9/11#because having the twin towers would be like disrespectful. but by not having them it also implies these heroes Let it happen#especially if it was being produced during a time where they Should be there . im talking specifically about toby's spider-man i guess#since as you may or may not know . there was a SHORT LIVED promo for the first movie which included the twin towers#and i just checked and the original release date for it was SUPPOSED TO BE november 2001#so therefore i can say that he probably graduated in 2001 after the spring semester of high school and therefore was out of school .#9/11#spider-man#superman#sueprheroes#comics#mika-posts

i genuinely don’t think anyone in my family even understands where i’m coming from at this point and it makes me more genuinely miserable than the actual stresses of my work
#i am filling the roles of a lab manager and a postdoc and a graduate student. as a first year phd with all the additional pressure of that.#i have to run a lab and make progress in a project and train an undergrad and ALSO prepare for prelims#i’m the sole propagator of progress in this group right now.#so like. forgive me if i’m held up for several hours and the mask slips.#and i don’t believe my family when they say i can say no. i do not believe that for one second#to me the choices are. i say yes and just grin and bear it the whole time. i say no and end up guilty and have you resent me forever#between those choices. i would far rather repress myself and just take the L than say no and be resented#because when it all comes down to it if i don’t have my parents i have NOBODY else in this country to vouch for me#if i don’t just deny myself and say yes to them i feel like i will be ALONE.

I try to avoid adjusting my medication unless I've exhausted other efforts, but after three years of having my shit kicked in by my neurochemistry, my psych and I doubled my anti-anxiety meds and threw in a limited quantity of an as-needed benzo and holy shit I feel like a person again.
#it's been less than two weeks and i can communicate again and ive started 1:1 chinese lang tutoring and im scheduling apartment tours#and im completing tasks at work and have ideas on improving our processes and workflows#and im crocheting baby blankets for my coworkers' les enfants#i feel like myself again for the first time since i graduated law school#i thought id lost my hunger and bravery#but no i was just in burnt out prey animal hours for literal years#i used to have such severe symptoms that i have trouble recognizing moderate symptoms sometimes#but wow that was not conducive to my higher self#what a silly three years

Sometimes I get hit with the "lisa wouldn't be a mother figure" but then I remember razor and how doting she is to him and how he calls her teacher and teacher's are technically the second mother to a child so like



#MY MOOOOMMMMMMMM 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 ough#she's a very casual and relaxed person. she wouldn't exactly be viewed as a parental figure at first glance#but she does have it in her to do so (razor is already a huge proof for it since she took him under her wing)#so why not lynn yk? she's definitely older than razor but still younger than lisa imo#lynn is also inexperienced in a lot of things and with lisa being sumeru's greatest scholar that graduated so far. she can teach her#AUAGGDHGHDG I JUST... care her lots.... I already did like her a bunch when first playing genshin#ik lisa's story quest had the traveler go along with her almost like a date but#for me at the time. it definitely felt more like me trying to impress her bc I wanted her to be proud and happy of me#🌸 lin speaks!!#🌸 familial; ⏳#as much as idc abt ppl having a crush on her. I'd prefer not seeing any thirsts for her hrkshskjds#not that I'm forbidding anyone from thirsting. just. keep it away from me Lol#she's my mom I don't wanna hear ppl going 'well she's hot'#have you considered I Don't Think of Her That Way and that I Don't Care#Ooff sorry sorry. just needed to get that out there rq#if u like lisa romantically idm :3

Why does the Romanian government want to make my life specifically as hard as possible
#this is about legal gender marker and name change#starting to come to terms with the fact that I'll only be able to do this after graduating#bc while I'm still actively studying Russian it really flows together with Romanian#to the point where I can understand anything without issue but if I try to speak#like half of it comes out in Russian#I can't be doing a whole ass court case like that fhsjfhsjhfjd#I feel super embarrassed about it but I guess that's not that unusual of a multilingual struggle#anyway this was prompted by me looking through the process of the name and gender marker change#in honour of being back home for a while#and as a result being absolutely flabbergasted by all that shit they need from me#medical papers sure diagnoses etc etc WITNESSES???? And it can't be family???#thinking about which friends to take to court with me so I can change my stupid gender marker and stupid first name#personal#trans stuff#if anyone has experience or info pls hit me up
