A new sculpture! Finally... I feel like I never sculpt anymore since I'm always sick or have some 500 other things going on or projects to finish, but I'm trying to schedule time to do it more often this year hopefully..! Just a generic fantasy creature as usual, but did try making the eyes a little more sparkly this time.. hrmm..
#sculpture#fantasy art#fantasy creature#art#elf#lol what are the tags I should use... I still never know.. EVIL social media.. hate the idea of tagging anything ever anyway. but alas..#I also would ideally like to start selling them again and open up custom commmissions and stuff again once I can hopefully get paypal#stuff sorted out. and find like.. a good way to do things.. etc.. I did still want to sell them through auction instead of agonizing#over setting prices being afraid they're either too high or too low. So being able to just be like. Here. this is $50. or more. or less.#negotiate. the worth is whatever you feel like it is so i personally dont have to make that decision. etc. lol... But etsy doesn't let you#do auctions or like pay what you want type stuff so.. then I was thinking ebay? but idk.. ANYWAY.. I want to set things#up so I can sell stuff again hopefully. I still haven't fully recovered from the costs of when I had to take my cat to the vet and put#them down last year and etc. So it'd be good to sell a few things. perhaps.. maychance... perhamble... so on and so forthe... ANYWAY#I was going for whiter more milky sort of hair that blends in closely with the skintone but after the paint dried it seems more yellowy kin#of. which is fine. But just not exacltly like my mind vision lol..#Also it's like... wow... someone with face spots and elf ears and a half open mouth with a gap tooth and wavy hair and kind of downturned#eyes... revolutionary... never been seen before... every sculpture I have ever made surely doesnt look licherally exactly like this... LOL#but maybe it's just a style. so what. People have their motifs lol.. Im just getting back into sculpting. I shall sameface in peace. huzzah#Just like the only thing I ever carve out of avocado pits anymore is eyes. Because that's just whats fun to do. I'm going to accumulate lik#25 similar avocado eyes and have nothing to do with them. I was thinking of stringing some together into a necklace of eyes or something li#like that but.. hrmm... ANYWAY.. Love to do the same things repetitively. :3c

Edward "human weighted blanket" Teach & Izzy "crush my soul out of my body" Hands
#im an Ed on top truther (in terms of sleeping arrangements)#hes a cuddly octopus. he starfishes. hes gonna wriggle and hes gonna wriggle ON TOP of the person hes sharing a bed with#especially in hammock era. they can start out side by side but 30 mins in eds wriggled enough izzys sunk to the bottom and is barely visibl#and hes never slept better#he feels safe; enclosed on all sides with pressure and warmth above him#maybe he cant always tolerate it. but most the time its the best thing in the world for him#(even when he wants it so desperately- when the idea of being pinned doesnt send him running- he doesnt often let himself have it#he'd rather take guard; protect Ed at all costs; be ready to leap out and fight in a second if he has to#but just occasionally (when ed can see hes overstressed and needs it) ed'll drag him down and force him to relax#take him into the captains cabin and not let up until izzys had a proper nap; when his breathings evened out; his foreheads uncreased#when the low level tremor & twitch in his cheek that seems ever present has finally finally gone. then Ed knows hes done what he needs to#nyxtalks#ofmd#our flag means death#izzy hands#israel hands#edward teach#blackbeard#blackhands#edizzy#sometimes ed does need the weighed blanket too#this is where stede comes in#the tag ramble kinda hits. it got away from me. might polish it up at some point. might not. usual rules apply

The contrast between A and N playthrough is like night and day. Where in on one side, both characters are emotionally constipated and the other is just two adoringly disgusting couple flirting shamelessly in broad daylight without necessarily yet working on solidifying the relationship long-term (I mean this lovingly). Anon was right! N's playthrough is therapeutic AF but unless they start accepting/coming to terms with their darker side it's not really going to pan out long-term mate. Like, there's only so much you can do in the honeymoon phase friend.
#i love N I FUCKING DO BUT AT WHAT COST???#Medieval chivalry flirting mets 18th century courtship like ansnskansnsjsbsj#you can't tell me the 1700s weren't freaky af#the innuendos N does the subtle touches like andnsnakak#i'm getting cavities from how adorable and sweet they are#like every M pop-up is just them voicing how I'd feel when i read them flirting aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh#like please 😭#when did i start having low tolerance for sweet af love stories???? WHEN TF DID THAT HAPPEN???#twc nate#personal rant#spoiler#but i also love every bit of their romance 😭#“people could write sonnets about you two” perfectly encapsulates their whole f dynamic 😭#but from what i remember some love sonnets also have tragedies embedded in then like *incoherent sobbing#hg the wayhaven chronicles#the wayhaven chronicles#interactive fiction

i might be too late for ur pins preorders but discovering u have a polish store made me so happy bc wow shipping that maybe wont be twice the price of what im ordering?? sign me up i cant wait for your next shop update
It would be so much easier if I had a shop that takes different kind of currencies, but these cost like a leg and a rib 🤣 Also I am so happy to hear about an interest in that store! 😭💖
Got you a slav Keith
#As a side note#I usually send things through Paczka Polska for 14 pln#only smaller things fit into letters that cost less and when they do#they can't be mixed up (like only charms with charms or prints with prints)#or else they won't fit the size (2cm flat)#but on all other shops it is also flat-rate 3-5usd/eur#my prices are as low as pp allows xdddd#the logistics of having these shops i swear#dont get me started on inventory and product limits#but im extremely happy to hear polish names and see pl addresses#i will try to add some things to the pln shop for december 👀👀#side note 2 - this keith was drawn because someone on instagram said slav cosplay#and i asked if they mean this kind of slav#true story

[truly if anymore of the letters of my keyboard break (this includes several numbers and one of the parenthesis btw) im for real gonna run out of keybinds to replace them with </3]
#chemi chats#the ''e'' and ''3'' keys broke a long time ago which is already pretty shit considering how many <333's i write.#i remap the ''e'' key to my ''insert'' key and remap the 3 to the number pad so i can still make hashtags#then as if taking <3s wasnt enough my ! key broke. not the 1 key. shift+1 SPECIFICALLY. which is a hate crime against me im pretty sure??#so i remap that to the number pad too. at some point my d key stopped working which was annoying but also vaguely amusing#because typing ''i want to draw volition'' when the d key isn't working is /mortifying/ hkjghg#my o key stopped working too so i remapped it to the 0 key on the keypad.#today my h key stopped working too which SUCKSSS because thats what all my keysmashes start with???#my volume up and down keys are also broken? along with my screen brightness and 9 key. my delete key and backspace are also on the fritz#its a whole ship of theseus situation lmao anyone trying to type anything on this keyboard is just like ''what the fuck bro'' gjgfkjg#i my nam is vli. im 2 yars ld an my prnuns ar /im. LMAO thats so funny kjgdfkj#its literally such a hassle to replace each of these with a different keybind and readjust everytime jikjg#the whole laptop's breaking but replacing it would cost money and thats a whole other can of worms djkfdd#anyway i have to restart the laptop so that the new keybinds can start working (ive been copy-pasting every h in this post gfkjg)#i think i'll also take a nap? idk low energy as fuck recently </3 ok bye!!! <33

The rescent riots in the UK are despicable (but sadly not surprising).
Yes, what happened to those little girls is a tradgey, but the person who was responsible wasn't an asylum seeker, and even if he was, that would NOT excuse the racism displayed these past few weeks.
The people taking part clearly don't care about the safety of children as they're, scaring other people's & indoctrinationating their own into perpetuating racist acts.
Seven years is a lot, though! Then don't fucking join a hate group.
But the non white people are being violent too! Yeah, well, that tends to happen when you attack people. I'm not going to hate on people for standing up for themselves.
They're taking our jobs! Why do you believe that those jobs are YOURS? Are you actually qualified & able to make a good impression on bosses, or do you think just being white should be enough.
They don't work! Well Asylum seekers litrually aren't allowed to until their case gose through but plenty of other POC have jobs (I know you've seen them though it must be hard to make them out through that fog of hatred) & I've met plenty of white people who don't want to (no hate to those who can't because of disability or mental health issues) or loose jobs because they're just overall terrible employees (some of the shit I've seen middle aged white people do at their jobs is crazy).
They're all criminals! Well, that's just not true now is it plus it's been proven multiple times that the biggest factor in crime is poverty, NOT race & again I've encountered plenty of white people who've broken the law yet most didn't seem to get more than a slap on the wrist (if that). Strange, that isn't it?
Well, "those kinds" of men hate women! Ahh, yes, because there's never been white rapists, woman killers, stalkers or harrasers. Its been proven that hating women is a problem in all races & and sadly, the biggest threat to us is usually our own partners or family, not some random aylsum seeker (who if they do hurt women tend to go after the ones from their own community).
They're not from here! Ok, so I don't know if anyone told you, but you can actually be born here without being white and you can't ban people from a country just because of the colour of their skin. Also, neither was half my family, yet we never get told to go back to our own country. Hmm, I wonder if our white skin could possibly have anything to do with that.
They can't speak English! A lot of them are multilingual, actually (& you make fun of their accents) & for the ones who can't well you seem to hate them getting anything (such as English lessons) for free. Also, how many Brits go abroad despite refusing to learn absolutely anything about other countries (there's a reason we're known as disrespectful, violent, sex obsessed, drunks by most of the world).
Also sooner or later we are going to have to accept that a lot of the issues that make immigrants flee their home countries are caused (or at least made worse) by ours & other Western governments.
This country definitely has problems, but we should be taking them up with politicians & their rich mates. Who are the ones actually hording wealth made from the exploitation of the poor, not random people of colour who are just trying to live their lives.
#uk#uk race riots#uk racism#uk riots#riots#racisim#I wanted to post about this straight away but my job has been taking a lot out of me#my phyical & mental health has not been great#rescently (due to unrelated personal stuff) & I wanted to make sure I worded my thoughts as fully & appropriately as possible.#so even though it's later than it should have been (which I apologize for) I thought I should still comment on the situation#Especially as a white person who was born outside the uk but has lived here bassically my whole life#Lastly I wanted to let my followers know where I stand#i know i reblogged something about whats been happening a while back but it felt wrong not to give my actual thoughts on the matter#my heart gose out to any poc struggling right now#i wish i could say this isn't my country but there's always been a racist underbelly to the UK#& unfortunately it seems to be bubbling up more & more these past few years#i think social media is partly to blame (thanks to vice in misinformation & conspiracy theories)#obviously covid plays a part as well (people have lost so much & need somewhere to put their anger)#but the biggest cause (other than personal choise of course as I don't ever wanna erase the accountability of biggits) is our government#cost of living crisis mixed with low wages & little effective financial help#of course jobs are gonna be scarce#add on top of that our failing infurtructer#& no wonder the uk is a mess#but again people need something more tangebible to blame#& the torries (+ all right wing media) have wasted no time in turning migrants into the ultimate scapegoats#& unfortunately people keep falling for it#even my dad has started in on the “woke mob” stuff & its like i still love you & i know you’ve had a hard life but#god is it upsetting to hear#like he was never very PC but he was pretty radical#now he's becoming more & more like his dad (who was apparently a fascist) & i know younger him would hate that

post s8 allurance has so "it's you!" "Despite everything it's still you" Vibes
Ah yes, the classic pre-trauma post-trauma quote. 100% agreed
#Askbox of the ether#allurance#Lance starts s1 wanting to sneak out with Pidge and Hunk. team bonding activities. maybe flirt with some girls.#Shiro falls to earth. and Lance tags along for the ride. the rest is history#Allura starts a princess of a thriving planet. war costs her everything#a nebula stares back in the second photo#Lance won’t be able to stare back into his mirror the same#the journey was a fun one at times. ups and downs. highs and lows. they found family. they found each other. then it leaves them aching#and yet. despite everything. it’s still them#because though everything is different now. the world is not the same. you are still you. and who you’ve grown to be#ow ow ow#thanks for the ask!

was talking to my butch last night about feelings and self perception and it’s weird that ppl see me as kind. not nice, but kind
#I think im a dick and a bad person and think ppl should leave me alone#but I can’t help but make friends or talk to ppl#in public for some reason ppl tend to like. go to me and feel safe asking me for help and stuff#or just start a random conversation with me#im not upset by it#I just wonder why#im pretty low empathy but I have very high emotional awareness#of both my emotions and other ppl so sometimes I can just#say what needs to be said#I always thought it was a gross and bad aspect#of my personality but Chevy thinks that that’s being truly kind#idk if u can make someone else’s day better for no cost and no real reason except you can#why not? It’s not being nice it’s just being a person#just because I don’t feel super duper connected to be ppl doesn’t mean I don’t like seeing ppls faces light up when I notice something#or do something nice m#like. idk it’s weird I thought I was like manipulative and shit#but I think that’s just? Being an okay person????#idk I always think im evil and fucked up but ppl keep telling me im kind and tjoughtful and shit#My self perception doesn’t match up to real life#or maybe I just know myself better than everyone and I AM manipulating everyone so good that I manipulated myself too

Tumblr really is one of the last defenders of the: "ooopsy wooooopsy~ looks wike we had a wittle accident 👉👈🥺" style of error message
#there's something else i want to talk about re: old(ish) internet#that i kind of didnt realise had happened#I'll soft launch it here but i might make a full post of it yet#at work i like to watch edutainment vids in my breaks#because they tend to be 15~ mins long and also have subtitles#so I've watched all like to/m scott. map men.#and i started watching old vsauce Micheal here videos#and they don't really seem like 10 year old videos. like the style of them really holds up#EXCEPT probably 5 times a video he'll show us a 'really awesome website' or whatever#like. so many websites with really useful tools. or just showing information. or that are just kind of fun and interesting#like. websites built to do specific things and that share information in unique ways#and like. i remember so many websites like that. even some games that played with the concept#of what a website even is. what are the limits. projects that were not only interesting in themselves#but the way they were presented was slick and fascinating and interactive#do y'all. do you remember that?#there was so much of that 10+ years ago#where did they go. do they still exist? are they still made. are the old ones even still up or did costs get too high#and traffic too low#because i also don't remember them having ads. or maybe they did but just banner ads that went unnoticed#woes of emily

ngl. unconsciously disengaging from this website has been hdjfkg kinda good for my mental health overall? like yes im still dhdjfjf left out of a lot of stuff BUT i see it less so that means my feelings don’t get as hurt lmao. functionally that’s more or less the same thing probably?
going recluse isn’t what i ever want to do (& I didn’t even do it on purpose, just got busy and had a low social battery because of it) but aside from me being overall comfortable by myself, it just kind of seems like it’s where people are content to leave me. doesn’t feel great but it is what it is.
#not rly on discord servers for the same reason tbh#got tired of trying to interject my awkward attempts at participation#I mean people can still @ me but i just don’t have it in me for the server stuff#my social perception is low enough that I can’t tell what the right move is but high enough I know when I fucked up#idk if I’m just not built for larger groups or if it’s something else :(#wish I knew so I could work around it but it’s not exactly a perfect experiment#so w/e. I do kind of miss it a bit but I also feel like my absence doesn’t make a difference#which is a sad thought in itself but that’s how it goes#idk I think in general I’m in a weird spot where I make an impression but it’s never a vital one to the dynamic ?#I do sometimes doubt like. what I bring to interactions in general lately#doesn’t feel like much if I’m being honest. I mean I think I’m at least moderately interesting but djfjf who knows#weirdly settled with myself as a person but I’m thinking that cost is probably an isolating one#knowing a lot of people just never breaking past that surface level#sucks. not much else to describe it as.#idk I’m sure this is bad for me but I think I’ve kind of already messed up first impressions#it’s so stupid but I keep encountering the same dynamic of either we Click fairly quickly or we just don’t really at all#and I feel like that’s wrong of me bc I know some people need time but unless that initial click happens I just seem to falter??#idk idk idk I guess lately it’s like I feel alone/lonely but I don’t feel like I’m wanting to return to anything#bc I never felt like I really had a place there to start with#weird feeling. very weird feeling.#logging back off now dhjfkf

1 Commission left for me to finish and it's in the lining/coloring phase, and a little side-project work has put me on that they're finishing up is ending this week, so I'll have free time. I think I'll be taking any remaining days this week off for comm work after I finish this one since I have to go in for a (small) dental procedure and it's so close to the weekend.
I'll be able to start on any new comms immediately Monday next week, though-- many slots are still available, including the discounted wood etch style, I may also have a back to school sale, but we'll see.
#vena vents#not art#I may also start taking really loose doodle donation stuff?#like the good old days#but like super fast and simple because people like those#College I miss her#the structured schedule and learning new things#I do not miss each semester costing like $10k though but good thing I'm so poor I got grants up the wazoo#Like one of the few times being relatively low income but not poverty line has been a positive

The cat started asking for canned food (hours before he is scheduled to be given cat food) while I was cooking and cleaning up in the kitchen, and he was bugging me so much (when I say “hours” I mean 4 hours until he gets canned food, and there is still this morning’s dry food in his bowl) I splashed some water at him, and he looked up at me and became John Goodman in The Big Lebowski. “I’m staying. I’m finishing my coffee.”
#he’s also been asking me when i start my afternoon workouts and when i’m doing my cool down i’ll think ‘maybe i’ll feed him early’#and then i see that he’s coughed up a hairball in protest in the living room#i respect the direct action but i am not caving to this little italian mobster#‘nice living room you have. for the low cost of canned tuna several hours before you would give it to me it will be hairball free’

Also look into PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis! It is extremely effective at reducing the risk of getting HIV, and depending on your lifestyle that might be something worth looking into.
#i literally worked at a planned parenthood#for gender affirming care of course but we sometimes had patients interested in starting PrEP so we could set them up#to talk to the clinician about that too#every planned parenthood is different but worth checking local ones or some health networks even have low cost programs for PrEP#HIV awareness#also not everyone really NEEDS to be on PrEP? too tired to list out all the reasons why you might want to be on it#but for some folks it could be a very good idea and it's very normal to get

reminder to check your narcan/naloxone and make sure it’s not expired!
and get your hands on a new one if it is!
i don’t know what might happen to federal/state narcan program funding in the next administration so if you’ve been considering, now is the time to pull the trigger
#and if u don’t have narcan and want to get some (i recommend it even if you think you’ll never need it!)#i can help you find a free/low cost way to get it#at least in the US#you can start by looking up “your county/parish your state free narcan”#sometimes they have programs that distribute through a healthcare center or group#harm reduction#harm redux#substance use#opioids#addiction#addiction resources#substance use resources#safer drug use
