Chilly weather and hands gaining XP points outside of drawing

Today has been pretty chilly but peaceful and pleasant enough to enjoy with some layers.

Had a crabby rice brunch, as people from Maryland occasionally do. I didn't think about warming up the leftover crabs before peeling them apart. They were refrigerated, so they were *cold* and I had to deal with all that in the kitchen, which was also slightly chilly.

I actually warmed my hands up by rinsing them in cold tap water.

The delayed gratification of extracting all that crab meat and eggy stuff onto a plate of buttery garlic rice was worth the trouble. And my (not gel or acrylic) manicure survived the messy/abrasive process of getting through 4 crabs. :D

I think I'll draw some casually ominous crows this week. And enjoy some taro boba.

My current mini-obsessions are:

Cooking as many zucchini dishes from around the world as I can while the season lasts. Other seasonal veggies too, but mostly zucchini this year. I'm really into seasonal stuff and frequently fixate on the "vegetable of the month".

Making wagara (traditional Japanese patterns) GIMP patterns. Me and GIMP, we go back a long way. I was never particularly great but I spent many hours creating stuff with it. Haven't touched it in years. Felt an urge to start again two days ago.

Hey kids, remember that sage piece of advice not to pick on your skin? I hope you're good at following it. I haven't been for the past twenty years and it was fine, really, untill today I woke up really hurting and unable to open my left eye because a pimple I repeatedly popped and squeezed inflamed. I have cellulites and I'm hospitalized taking intravenous antibiotics every four hours for at least the next three days to deter any chance of sepsis.

Thinking about all the fics set in a pre modern world where characters die of blood poisoning after minor wounds.

i am both loving and hating school rn

on one hand, i get to have creative freedom on what i'll draw about in arts for an upcoming project, but on another hand, all this research for english essays and science projects are making me want to pull my hair out and throw my laptop across the room

Sunrise plays Connect on repeat for strength, but even that can't fix a broken heart

something that is so funny to me is the solution to the "why does Durge have amnesia" subplot

no mystical curse, no magic potion, not a spell, no elaborate divine retribution for your failures.

no, Orin just got a really sharp stick, poked a hole in your skull and and got you an improv lobotomy . and put a worm in there

and every character who gets a chance to examine you basically goes WHOA there chief your brain is fucked up. like. thats just straight up brain damage. i cant fix that

wip wednesdayyyyy because i liked this concept but cba to finish it nicely 😅

there's this one panel of shimano setting the table with maybe six or seven identical meals plus woble's baby food and bottle... pretty sure no one else is in 1014 besides oito, woble, shimano, and the guards at that point, so I think that means they all eat meals together? 🥺

[plurality-is-mundane]

Not Mundane but like ... Don't stop being creative. The world needs more evidence that we do exist. Stuff made by and for plurals of all kinds is a huge step in silencing the fake claimers imo.

Sing, paint, draw, write, sculpt, make music, knit, sew, build, anything.

God just had to let me stumble upon this when I just finished the series.

As a self-proclaimed hurt/comfort fic connoisseur, I can’t help but notice that everyone is always “getting out the first aid kit” in fic and it made me wonder—how many of us actually had one of those?

pet names

[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash overhears a conversation from a nearby table at the restaurant they're seated at, the unnamed character saying, "Honey, can you pass me that?" Their partner says, "Sure thing, angel." The unnamed character begins again, "Say, did you hear the news from earlier?" In response, "Haven't got the chance. Tell me about it?" Vash smiles fondly, listening in as the conversation continues, "You'd never guess, babe! The runner--" Abruptly, the conversation is cut in by a "Needle nogging", Vash's expression changing instantly and no longer smiling. The panel cuts to Wolfwood who smiles lop-sidedly, pointing at Vash's plate and says, "If you're not going to eat that. I'll take it." Vash grabs the plate and holds it away and says, "Mine" while Wolfwood clicks his tongue. He pauses for a moment before asking slowly, "Hey, is there any reason you don't use cute names with me?" Wolfwood lifts a cup of water up to his lips, looking confused. He says, "I do though." Vash cuts in, "Spikey and needle nogging aren't cute!"

Vash continues with a shy expression, "Since we're together now..." he trails off and Wolfwood picks up, taking a sip of water as he says thoughtfully, "Together, huh..." Vash pauses in his sentence with a look of confusion before reaffirming, "We are together, right?" Wolfwood nods, "Right." Vash says, "Right", before continuing, his shy expression returning, "Then you can use stuff like... honey or-" Wolfwood cuts in this time and says casually, "You're not a honey though." A panel cuts of Vash's expression changing again, shocked. He asks, "Huh? Then who is?" Wolfwood says immediately, "Milly." Vash exclaims, "Milly?!" Wolfwood continues, "She's sweet, just like honey." A bubble pops up of Milly smiling as Wolfwood speaks. Vash continues, "Okay, true... What about sweetpea?" Wolfwood responds, "Kids. Kids are sweetpea. And pumpkin too." Vash continues, "Okay... What about baby?" Wolfwood says without hesitation, "Meryl." Vash exclaims again, "Meryl?!" Wolfwood explains," Noisy, like a baby." Vash mutters, "Hey, that's a bit mean..."

Vash continues persistently, "Then what about babe?" Wolfwood shrugs with a grin, "You are not a babe." Vash looks at him, slightly frustrated before exclaiming with flushed cheeks, "Then what am I?!" Wolfwood points at his hair and smiles softly, "I told you. You're the one and only needle nogging." A panel closes in on Vash's widen eyes, cheeks still red, pausing before he ultimately resigns, planting his face into the palms of his hands and muttering, "I give up..." At the same time, Wolfwood sneaks and grabs the plate of food that Vash left unattended, saying in response, "You get up cuaght up about the dumbest things, y'know that?"

The comic then picks up again to a jump in time, after they've left the restaurant. Wolfwood muses to Vash, "You said all that about the names earlier, but I don't hear ya using them for me." Vash looks to him excitably and asks, "Did you want me to?" Wolfwood looks at him with an uncertain expression, "Not really, but I guess I am curious..." Vash beams, "Then let's try some, okay... dear?" He fingerguns Wolfwood with a grin, little hearts surrounding him. Wolfwood just looks at him neutrally and says, "Okay," while thinking to himself, "Cute..." Vash exclaims, "So unenthusiastic!"

The next comic picks up at a different time, but on the same theme of pet names. Vash hugs Wolfwood and says to him, "Thank you, my love." A panel close up of Vash steadily opening his eyes before he sees Wolfwood's reaction up close, his eyes glancing away, cheeks flushed, and the smoke out of his cig forming soft hearts as he mutters, "Sure..." In a smaller, cartoonish style, Vash has a comedically exaggerated expression of shock and widened eyes as he grips Wolfwood by the shoulders while Wolfwood still wears a shy expression. He then nudges his head to the side of Wolfwood's with a close eyed happy smile, hugging him close and says, "So, there WAS one you liked!" Wolfwood, still looking away, but now with an irritated and embarrassed expression, grumbles, "Shut up..."

The final image is a short sequence. Wolfwood is working on something, spacing out as he does, while Vash from off screen calls for him, starting with "Babeeee? Babe? Beautiful? Honey? My love?" All of which gets no reaction from Wolfwood. Vash pauses for a moment before piping up again, "wolfwood?" Wolfwood turns around, finally noticing that Vash was calling for him and asks, "What?" A box at the bottom of the page says, "Unresponsive to anything other than his names." END ID]
