one thing about ik is that she will always reach out

#obey me #art #i had the idea for this and managed to bulldoze through drawing it all without losing motivation halfway through #but Do Not expect me to post art this frequently in future #idk how to do panels so if the middle bit with the text might be laid out weird #i added the stars and feathers and stuff because there was a bunch of empty space around the boxes #obey me satan #jtta ik #(btw the crumbling symbol next to the exploding feather is the wrath symbol from in-game)#(with the pride symbol attached upside down at the bottom)#(not so much symbolism as it is just me whacking you over the head with the point but it looks cool)#i had a lot of fun doing satan's more monstrous design so i might try my hand at some of the other demons later?#i do have some ideas for levi (deep sea creatures are just really fun)#also happy nightbringer release day!! it showed up on my homescreen like half an hour ago and i was like “wait what”#for some reason i thought it wasn't releasing til next week??#the new genshin patch is today as well so looks like i'll have plenty to do with the rest of my free time for the easter hols #(i promise i'm also working on the next chapter of jtta but i am so stuck on how to get lucifer actually Talking)#anyway. here's a gold star for making it through all my rambling in the tags for anyone who did so: ⭐

sneepy cozy time....

#cats #longing to one day hopefully feel sleepy cozy like this again...#There was a pretty cool week here so I thought we had progressed closer to cool fall weather but... NO #..wrong!! It's like 80F in my room right now and was 98F outside yesterday. We get two more 'cooler' days and then #it starts going up again and will be in the high 90s possibly 100 something later this week #in my mind september should be COOOOOLLLL!!!!! or at least STARTING to get there.. Like mid 80s at the highest.#I am going to explode the world with evil wizard powers aaRGHaaHHHHHHHH #OR at least it should get down really low at night. I think thats the main thing is if it's 95 in the day and only 62 for like 3 hours in #the middle of the night then even leaving a fan in windows all night is not enough to fully cool down the house because its just not #enough cold air or cool for long enough. If it were 98 in the day but 15F outside at night then you could probably bring cool air inside al #night and your house would be at a relatively low starting point for the next days heat.#Like for example - in my apartment on a hot and sunny day. Even with every window #closed and blocked off with thick layers of reflective stuff and also not using the stove or doing anything to generate heat - the apartmen #will still go up on average about 6 - 8 degrees in one day. Peaking around 8 - 10pm night time. If I start off with the house cooled down #to 60F. then the highest it would get is 66 - 68 which is tolerable #.But if the lowest I can cool the apartment all night is still only 75F #then it's going to be 81 - 83F by the end of the day. So really it would be bearable (ISH)#for it to be warm as long as it was colder at night.#Though still the IDEAL is to not have to structure my life around envrionmental management and constantly be checking the #outdoor temperature so I can put the fans in the second that it's colder outside than it is inside and putting elaborate curtain systems #up and down at the exact right times and meal prepping 4 days in advance so I dont have to use the stove for 3 days and blah blah blah #Life in the colder weather months is so effortless and breezy in that sense. I can just have the window open all day and get natural light.#I can cook whatever I want. I can wear what I like. I can move around the house freely without needing to always #carry a fan around with me or douse myself in water.#ANYWAY.... oh if only that were me.... snuggled in a warm blanket ... a comforting wintery image...

Things people have said about Zhuge Liang: "The Prime Minister's calculations are divine and incomprehensible." "O Governor, you are the sport of one of Zhuge Liang's wiles." 'Sima Yi felt sad at having been tricked. "Zhuge Liang is a cleverer man than I am," said he with a sigh of resignation.' "Zhuge Liang's vile tricks are innumerable." '"The man appears like a god and disappears like a demon. He is too much for me," sighed Sima Yi.' '"His comings and goings are not human," said Sima Yi sadly.' '"While he lived, I could guess what he would do; dead, I was helpless!" said Sima Yi.' 'The people had a saying that "A dead Zhuge Liang can scare off a live Sima Yi".'

Luo Guanzhong, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (trans. C.H. Brewitt-Taylor)

#quote #quotation #Luo Guanzhong #Romance of the Three Kingdoms #Zhuge Liang #Sima Yi #(you will note he shows up a lot here)#and yet somehow Zhuge Liang never managed to conquer the Middle Lands for his boss #tragically let down by his subordinates #and outlived by Sima Yi

Karen has four older brothers and this is Ross! He's the second oldest and he looks rather polite and smiles a lot and when he's at work he can behave most of the time... but he really has such a foul mouth it puts Right to shame.

And Karen when she was a kid couldn't pronounce S's and they sounded like Z's. So when her brothers would be leaving for school she would say "enjoy zool" and just. Could NEVER say Ross's name correctly so he told her to just call him Oz. And it stuck but only with Karen. She's the only one to use it and no one else is allowed.

#my characters #also fun fact she has decided to legally rename him for when shes mad at him #so instead of yelling his full proper name #she will yell OSWALD THOMAS WILSON which is the fake first name but actual middle/last #and its just thats a guy that she wouldnt want to admit to knowing if she saw him in public #hes actually p short so yeah hes a short king #the oldest bro and the second youngest are both taller #the middle middle is basically the same height as him so karen really is just the wittle bab #and all her brothers are super protective of her bc thats their baby sister #she does however have a strong sense of I GOTTA PROTECT THE MIDDLE GUY #so she is kinda used to standing up for older guys just bc of he #but it comes into being a problem when she meets rick and is like fuck it he may be older but #he is too kinda for this world and also theres no way i can love him hes basically a baby brother #and she will pick on him but also would absolutely throw hands for him #and and i know the tags are long as is but eventually karen and rick move past the whole youre like a brother vibe #and they become very good friends - still zero romance involved - but she starts to treat him less like a family member #and it makes him feel less awkward and in turn he feels more open to joke sometimes #cause for a long while rick is just this is really awkward and i wish we would stop matching on dating apps but she wont leave me alone #so its rude to turn her down when she offers a friendly drink to check up on me #but its actually karen being protective older sister mode despite being the youngest of five #this is the most i have managed to draw in like two weeks i think #now im super tired bye

don't mind me just dethorning the bramble in my stick insects' cage because a CERTAIN beautiful old lady

managed to snag her wing on one and got stuck there until I saw and detangled her and I am not eager to repeat the experience!!

ALSO I finally managed to get a picture of the whole family as it is now :DDD

1 adult Indian stick insect, 1 adult Pink Winged stick insect and three Pink Winged stick insect nymphs at various stages of development

(I also have an Indian stick insect nymph but she lives in a separate enclosure at the moment and is so tiny getting her out would be way to stressful for both her and me)

#ik what you're thinking 'theyre just lines' EXACTLY #keeping baby stick insects is way too stressful man I'm constantly terrified one's escaped and I haven't noticed #thank god they seem to be growing quickly the biggest one's only a month old #and is way more chill than she was #mine #I love my adult pink wing so much she's literally ancient she's outlived her sister by like 3 months #her wings aren't meant to look like that but it's also not all from the accident #she's always had trouble foldng them properly and it's got more pronounced as she's got older #that's why it happened the thin papery part of her wing that concertinas out for flying isn't tucked away safe against her body #not that she flies those days are long gone although she was never particularly enthusiastic about it #hence why she's probably lived so long #live fast die young and all that #I love her sm #a miracle I actually managed to get them all in one photo #last time I attempted it I finally managed to get the babies settled down in one place in a little group #then put old lady down #and she literally ploughed straight through the middle of them #littlest one went flying #another just climbed up her leg and clung to it #ma'am they are your children or your nieces #they literally do not perceive each other as sentient beings I swear it's hilarious #sorry for the background it's the only surface they'd settle on #there's a tag for it isn't there #trypophobia #trypophobia tw #fr though it was so horrid finding her all tangled up #and she did not take kindly to me trying to help her #but she ok now 😊

Cannot believe at this late stage of my life I'm becoming a Gabriel fucker. Local mean jock doesn't want to be evil now, he wants to be loved. I'm slightly annoyed they didn't make Beelzebub more unhinged because the "plot" should have been at least half about them fucking up shit on an absolute rampage trying to find Gabriel, a thing everyone assumes they are doing to fry him with hellfire so they can kick off the war in a way that's advantageous to hell, BUT ACTUALLY!!! true love.

#I do love evil love!#but more than that it's like... the terrible emptiness of heaven and hell?#absolutely no one has been having a good time!#they're just middle management admin suckers doing a soulless job no one else understands #they don't even care about earth! six thousand years of #mommy promised that if you all sit down and shut up we can have another war when the humans are dead #as a form of enrichment for their underlings #and they're just going along with it because that's the grind #incidentally I enjoyed how childish the angels were this season my pet theory is that they and the demons also have free will but no one #noticed so they've all just been making themselves miserable enforcing corporate culture and plotting each other's downfall because it #didn't occur to them to do anything else #gabriel and beelzebub realizing there's more to life and they can simply say fuck it and make something good between them #implies other angels and demons can do the same! as does Muriel obviously #like they are torturing each other. in much the same ways that humans are torturing each other #sad for Aziraphale and Crowley they care about earth & humans #which is a real problem they have that Gabzebub do not #and also that Crowley is in denial about how much he wants to be good and Aziraphale is in denial about just so many things and also #committed to being an ass about it.#these are problems that Gabriel and Beelzebub do NOT have because they are goal oriented and keep their eyes on the prize #good omens spoilers

#i found this little bee on the walkway :((#they were on the ground like in the middle of a busy place ppl walk and bike #almost all bees i find are already dead but i always move them to the grass anyway #bc it feels so wrong and unholy that a bee corpse is just continiously walked on until it gets mashed into the gravel #but this one was alive so i managed to nudge them up on my hand #and at first they tried to hurry away from me but when they noticed i wasnt doing anything they calmed down #i just like dont know... i couldnt rmbr anything abt which flowers have the right pollen.. nutrients.. that bees need #i do know that they mainly need wild flowers but they barely exist...#i took them to a flower and nudged them onto it but they didnt like that one #and immediately wanted back up on my finger #i walked around a bit and found flowers were another be was already taking a nap on #so i tried putting my bee down on one of those #i hope they could find smth in the flower :(( and omg i wish i had brought my water with me #bc what i rmbr from one insta video i saw recently was that bees walking around on the ground are dehydrated #i hope i gave them a chance putting them on the flower #if i had left them they would've only been trampled :((((#i got so attached to them bc they didnt wanna leave my hand and i had to really coax them onto the flower :(((#i miss them :((( i just hope they're ok now #and if not at least they could die in peace on top of a flower instead of being trampled by filthy humans #photo diary ᯓᡣ𐭩 #i think i shouldve put them on the flower necxt to it??? it looks like it has more stuff on it?#idk i just tried to put them on different flowers but this was the only flower they wanted to stay on :/// poor bee

I know I’ve been talking about downsizing basically forever but things keep happening. But since taking in these emergency rats it has REALLY driven home that I *need* to be much further from my capacity limit.

I am not rehoming any of *my* animals, but I am doubling down on my efforts to increase my number of outside fosters so that there’s fewer fosters at my house, and will be keeping much fewer permanent animals going forward.

I am not planning to have any forever rats (except sanctuary rats) going forward, or forever mice. Once my current ones pass I will not be getting anymore. I have 9 gerbils through various circumstances but my limit is going to be 4. I have 3 hamsters & will be setting a limit of 1-2 going forward. I am planning to have no more than 6-7 permanent rodent enclosures (currently I have 14, so I will be halving my numbers essential, as they slowly pass of old age.

Before I ended up with these emergency rats I was doing just fine, not quite at my limit but getting close, and now I am over my limit and not sure when that’ll change. I’m managing, but since I never know when the next emergency will happen I need to maintain more open space and more bandwidth.

#it’s going to take me a WHILE to get down to these numbers- and they’re flexible #so like #i don’t anticipate having more than 1 hamster at a time after my current 3 #until i am down to fewer than 4 gerbil cages (goal is 2 gerbil cages)#which will take a while because gerbils live a lot longer and mine are all healthy and all but two are only middle aged #etc #the rats most of mine are older but I’ll have 3 of them for at least another year or two #and so on #but yeah.. this has been a wake up call for me that i’ve been playing too close to my limits and it’s not sustainable #i am managing right now- and i am NOT taking more intakes into my home for the foreseeable future- but i need to give myself wiggle room

Back from the shops that was. Eventful. Me and an old lady stopped a bird from getting run over

#gamer txt.#it was freaking out in the middle of the road and it had a pal that was tryna help but cars kept coming so it kept having to fly away #so i stepped closer to try to see what was wrong with it but it was flapping around too much so i ended up just standing with it to make-#- sure the cars drove around it #and there was one car came by thatd slowed down to see what was up and then turned back around and stopped and this old lady popped out #to try to help it and she managed to scoop it up and see it had a broke wing so she papped it into the grass so it would be outta the way #so yeah. eventful

I mean this from a social perspective not a health one : why does everything feel weird right now. Like yes I’m heartbroken about the reality of my position in the lives of my so called friends but now I just feel confused. I don’t understand why I’m not important and why I can’t change to be important to others, nor what makes a person important either.

#like okay yeah I’ve been lowkey crying in the middle of the night because of how unimportant I feel but that’s down pat now we get it #I just want to know why am I not ? like am I doing something wrong ? I could’ve sworn I’m trying my best to not be annoying frustrating and #to be there but the reality of things is that I can’t always be there given my condition #sometimes I wonder how hard it is to ask me a simple ‘are you okay’ or ‘how are you’ or god forbid that I am missed lmao pls fniesksn ignore #the last one I think that’s too much but at least the other two #I don’t want to tell people to ask me these because then it feels fake and that they’re doing it just for the sake of getting me to shut up #about it but I don’t know #dora daily #a reason why I hate insta with my whole life because it just never fails to prove how worthless I really am #like I could’ve died yk … and it’d still be the sahara desert there #anyways I like being alone a lot something I’ve found out about myself #(I hate it actually but I only like it because I cannot make myself do anything like even talking seems so very exhausting so I can manage #with the loneliness when I’m ill but I can’t cope with it when I’m even a smidge better)#sigh.#just sigh. where did I get my friends from and why does everyone seem to love their friends so much but I cannot #don’t get me wrong I talk about how much I love them to everyone and if I don’t I obsess abt them in my head but it is not reciprocated to #be honest. not at all #and that’s what makes me sad. I still love them because I love unconditionally it seems #but from a conditional viewpoint they do not cut it #and that makes me disappointed #that’s why I’d kill to be loved or heck even remotely liked the way I like others even half of that yk #I am not a good person in my eyes but I would do so much just to be liked like that I wish I knew why I’m not worth being liked only worthy #of being tolerated.

my wrist pain is starting to get really bad again, i hope it wont be a longterm issue like it was back in 2020ish. i know how to deal with it better now but that was genuinely a really sucky time bc on top of Everything Else going on i couldnt draw which is just. SAD! and also its annoying bc i literally get so bored when i cant like move my hands

#anyway lets pray it settles down back to normal manageable levels of wrist pain #i do my stretches i have been a good boy why have my wrists turned on me once again #i also have a commission im still in the middle of so itll be really annoying if i cant finish!#also last night i had to dig up ye old wrist brace and it BURNED for some reason #id ask a doctor but last time i went she was pretty much just like ''oh youre young youre fine just stretch'' so idk #she didnt examine me at ALL she just went off of vibes. but the stretches did help i just wish i couldve gotten more in depth advice here

Some au antag doodles

#keese draws #eternal gales #decided to finally try my hand at drawing au fydd #and decided to also draw the two I’ve already designed #I kinda chickened out hard with this au fydd design but that’s mostly because I don’t know how I’d go about implementing the big thing I cut #I wanted to include a nod at my old tazian (the species I recycled for fydd) worldbuilding by giving him some rainbow ‘hair’#but I definitely am not capable of drawing my vision well enough for my standards rn so maybe one day I’ll go for it but not rn #but long story short in the original version of the species those who were more middling height would have strands of or even entirely #rainbow hair which was like 90% me bullshitting but I have thought of a retroactive excuse #long story short most tazians would either be super tiny or like stupid tall and more middling height ones were rare #but one thing I realized lately is that all my tall ones had white hair and all my short ones had black hair #so the retroactive excuse is that the rainbow is a transitional period that usually indicates young age but can sometimes be permanent if #they don’t end up becoming properly tall #and I wanted to nod at that concept with au fydd since he’s 15 and is what would be considered pretty middling height #but that would mean figuring out how I’d wanna go about coloring that and that would make me lose it #for context fydd’s hair is supposed to be a smidge feathery #and also I like to keep my characters having somewhat manageable color pallets #not that I’m particularly good at that but I try #oh also second biggest failure of this drawing I made it so I couldn’t draw his other eye rip #he’s missing his other eye due to basically completely destroying it in the process of blowing up his original universe #the other two aren’t missing any major design elements that I can think fo fortunately #these three are all favorites of mine amongst the au antags they’re so silly #and by that I mean one of them is a grown ass adult torturing teenagers and the other two are heavily traumatized teenagers that are #helping said grown ass adult torture teenagers #well only one of them is properly helping owl is just here to meet her crush #she genuinely did not think the others would get as far and go as hard as they did #au fydd was the first member of the squad au bloom recruited and he is easily the most loyal to her #he’s also the only one au bloom even mildly gives an actual shit abt #au fydd went through a Lot in his original universe and is very ‘let’s burn it all down’ with his approach to helping #owl also went through a lot but she came out the other end just desperately wanting to stop fighting

Favorite thing from the books that I bring up anytime I get the opportunity:

The mountain the Buddha dropped on Sun Wukong wasn't enough to actually contain him. The seal had to be added later because Sun Wukong was clawing his way out.

#jttw personal #also it's only because Sun Wukong managed to dig himself partly free that his head and hands were exposed at all #he was originally (apparently) crushed under the mountain in his entirety and that's how they were going to leave him #like at least this way he had air and light and could kind of see things #gah #always reminded of this during events like that story later with the gold and silver horn brothers where they keep desperately throwing #MULTIPLE mountains at him trying to stop him and he just shoulders them and keeps coming #it took like...four or something? to finally put him down temporarily #five phases mountain was a very SPECIAL mountain sure #but it was still only (mostly only) one mountain #look everyone had a reason to be shitfaced terrified of the guy is all I'm saying #even the Buddha THOUGHT it was enough (he was even about to just leave entirely) but thankfully for Heaven he was convinced to stay for a-#'ahahaha how are we nOT DEAD-' party of the kind where everyone talks mad shit like they're not still vibrating with adrenaline #and in the middle of this some poor Minister comes sprinting in (I like to imagine Professor Quirrell with the troll) all #“The Great Sage!!! His head is sticking out!”#and once again the Buddha is the only one keeping chill and drawing up his seal while everyone promptly forgets to be cool and freaks out #and when THAT'S wrapped up he then decides to throw in the 'molten copper and iron pellets' thing on his way out the door #which I'm taking as him being super annoyed #I guess that's still better than 500 years crushed immobile in the airless dark but like #I don't know that's definitely a toughie in the 'would you rather' game #entirely appropriate this is the first post here I literally never shut up about this #this isn't even all of it
