#love this stuff

I think about how a lot of analog horror stuff or just creepy pictures of people-like things all share something in common, it's a very simple yet powerful thing that when you encounter it it turns your insides out and creates a potent image in your mind.

The eyes are always looking at you.

That's it, and the eyes also look wrong, but the presence of its wrongness laid on you is so weirdly upsetting. Something I always remember when I challenge myself to make something scary is this:

Make yourself wish it couldn't look at you

Anonymous OC question of the day!

If you could make a character real, which of your OCs would be:

your bestie

your spouse/partner

your secret lover!

your friendly rival

your enemy

BONUS: do this for other people’s OCs too!

Pass the game along (anonymously or not)

Hi Friend of Mystery! Thank you for this fun ask!

I gave it some thought and here's what I've come up with:

My bestie?

Juju (From Bite Me!)! He's fun and sweet and smart. I feel hanging out with Julian would be low stress and the conversation would be good. Especially if we're spilling tea about a certain vampire boss of his... But Terence (from Amaranthine) also. I love Terence- he's too good for this world: he's thoughtful, he's an artist, he's a gentle person and HE BAKES.

From someone else's story? @lynzishell's Atlas and Asher. I wanna hang out with both of them! They're so cool and interesting!

2. My spouse/partner

Such a hard question because I can't imagine my characters without their significant others! This smacks of betrayal...But let's not be dramatic. It's Gideon (From Darker). Selfless, protective, devoted, and giving Gideon.

From someone else's story...Ok, @cinamun's Charlie. He would be the most loving and dedicated and he is skilled -*ahem*- in other fields of knowledge.

3. My secret lover?

Lou. Like- no question. I wouldn't be so secret about it, either. Because the man is gorgeous and hawt.

Other people's? Hmm...I'm not sure...JUST JOKIN'! It's @alinelie's Ledger. He is so elegant and sexy and got them bedroom eyes... Or @pralinesims's Vale, who seems like a sentimental red flag, but red matches my outfit.

4. My friendly rival

Hmm...Someone who'd push me to do better, too? Probably Lee (From Tomarani Adventure). Lee is super smart and hardworking. Just talking about him makes me want to go fold my laundry.

Other folks': @simarcana's Alika! Alika's too fab. I'd have to seriously up my game to be anywhere half as cool.

5. My enemy?

TESSIE BEAULIEU (from Tact). Bitch.

Other folks' sims? @thebramblewood's Lilith. Like, your comeuppance is NIGH, you absolute psychopath!

Thanks again, mysterious friend! This was super fun!

So I made some cider today out of scraps I had while I was making apple butter

Behold, scraps! Mostly peels, cores, and little bits and bobs of apples bugs had bitten into or the like. Nothing worth wasting or that wouldn't be sanitary after a hour long boil lol 🤣

Added in sugar (dunno, just what was left in the bag 🤷‍♀️), nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and an old vanilla pod I fished out of the homemade vanilla sugar.

(Great use for spent vanilla pods y'all, make the sugar from the scrapped pods, then grind the pods into extra flavor for stuff like coffee and tea once they've released all their oils into the sugar )

And straight up it looks so good after I strained it and added sugar and spices. I have never made a cider so good that it's fucking PINK!!!

Anyways this has been great to have and to share with my wife while I finish making the apple butter 💙

Glenn Miller and His Orchestra: "The Spirit Is Willing"

[nomowyrm]

For the apostate ask game: 2, 7, 10

2: How would you describe your current beliefs?

Simple, plain answer? I believe in people and our ability to change things to make them better, and in my ability to improve my own life and the lives of those around me. Everything else is just details.

Interesting, complicated answer that’s quasi-spiritual and can change if sufficient evidence is placed against it?

I believe that I’m a part of the universe, that I’m made up of all the information that designates what I am and where I’m going, the velocity and direction of all of my atoms, the energy in my mind that makes up my thoughts, and that there’s no real distinction between myself and the people and the world around me, on a universe scale. When/if I die, I’ll wake up as the universe, having experienced everyone and everything from every angle, and that will be interesting too.

7: Do you like angels or demons?

I find it ironic that the icons of Christian cops and jailers have become SO GOOD at being queer icons.

I may have to draw more of them soon.

10: What do you love about the world?

The sheer cosmic size of it all. The wider you look, the more you see, and the closer you peer, the more details you find. Endless discovery, endless variety and story. I hope I get to live to see it all and be a part of making more.

How about you? What are your thoughts on these questions?

Time for another episode of “I have amateur knowledge on the subject and want to point out some cool shit” brought to you by me.

I played viola from fifth grade thru to first semester of college. Did camps, advanced programs, had a private tutor for a while. Head of my section. That’s my qualifications.

This kid is stunning. The confidence is strong with this one. She is younger than I was when I started let alone was able to play like this. Genuinely kudos to her.

Major thing I noticed, besides this not being her first time playing this, is she is regularly accustomed to communicating with her accompaniment. The sharp inhale at the beginning is essentially the same as the conductor hitting the first beat. She was constantly doing small check ins to ensure he was still with her.

Her nerves got to her a total of two noticeable times, once near the beginning where she sped up a small section, and once where she started looking around. Who can blame her, that’s a lot of people.

Shifting skills are god tier on this kid, as well as bow control. The scratching sound is a stylistic choice, not an indicator of poor performance.

“There’s no way a kid 8 years old is that fucking good she must be small for her age or smthn.” Yeah sure that’s possible but I really wouldn’t put it past her to have those skills at that age. Younger folks learn faster, and she clearly was started young. I went to a “camp” where there were orchestral individuals of school age (ie kindergarten to senior in highschool) and damn some of those kindergarteners were impressive. One girl only had one fucking hand and was still better than some of my highschool’s orchestra players. She was like maybe 6. Mfers be built different.

“This was clearly set up she was probably hired.” Yeah ok so what if that’s true? Could you do that at your big age? Mind your business she’s very proud of her work.
