On today’s installment of
Vet med vs Human med
My sister called me on her way home from working on a leg amputation
Her: have you ever heard of something called a “farmer’s stitch”?
Me: No?
Her: oh well doc said they sometimes use it on cows. I though you may have learned it being the vet.
Me: you mean like a Ford interlocking pattern?
Her: it’s like a horizontal mattress suture but you go back and loop through before moving to the next stitch.
Me: i think that’s a ford interlocking.
Her: I will have to tell him what that is actually called.
#at least she learned a new suture pattern today#my hands cramp just thinking about it#vet med#human medicine#vet med vs hooman med#vet med vs human medicine#suture patterns#large animal medicine

Obviously I had to make it a thing (Patreon)
Spoilers for Handplates! Make sure you’re all caught up before continuing!
I ended up scene-picking around the timeline at pretty-much-random, whatever I thought fit the lyrics the best in the moment of blinding inspiration (lol), but now that I’ve got the basics down to paper, I think I’d more carefully choose in mostly-chronological order. That also means some would have to be cut, so I want to show them off here! :D I also drew them all from memory so if there’s inconsistencies, that’s why lol
For example this is one of the very early lyrics, but the events take place well down the timeline! I’m sure I can find a good stand in - mostly I just wanted to draw Papyrus from this scene, ugh I love him ♥ And the lyrics do fit!
Looking back to Sans for reassurance haha. I changed a few of the lyrics to be more Papyrus-specific -
- also featured here! He’s got the Gaster pose going on here hehe, and cutting around in time of him in Snowdin and also back at Asgore’s, him reassuring Asgore about Sans’ HP is so cute, I had to make reference to it haha
Happiest little sibling spinnies <3 <3 Probably the cutest panel of the whole bunch honestly haha ♥ Their little faces!! Ugh 💕
One of those instances of the lyrical contradictions, and I think I would keep this jump forward - everything has changed! And they’re really not okay, but they have each other
The one makes me laugh honestly, a bit dark lol. All their safe people, except for the two that take up the rear of each. I mean, technically it’s not inaccurate with Flowey’s, he won’t be alone! Unfortunately. The human, well
Started settling into a rhythm by this point, and rather pleased for it :) Poor Papyrus! He didn’t do anything wrong and he still has all these sad feelings about it!
All catching up to him :( You can only run from and ignore your problems for so long - this line feels so him, dealing with what their world is and all that entails, poorly
I appreciate the fact that Papyrus has this dream several times, it fits lots of places! Gaster look what you did to him even when you don’t exist anymore
Papyrus as an adult! Though he also is in the one with him and Sans dream-sharing. Things start breaking real bad for him, I’m still not over how good this song is lol
I did admittedly go a little over-the-top with these, he was not crying this much but I just jsalfdjfds this scene is so- much. So much! The lyrics goaded me, blame them haha - and also the attention to his neck! Even if it’s not in reference to choking on tears specifically, still drawn to the same place! I love Sans going to comfort him as well as rally him ahhhhh
I got his Soul glitches wrong haha, but seriously! This song, I swear!!
A bit of irony - he’s being heard! So much! Just not listened to. I am so enamoured with his pose callbacks throughout the entire comic ugh, so beautifully done
Handing off the song for a moment to someone who actually can rewind it - I don’t think I’ve ever drawn a Genocide Run human now that I think of it :0 It was so satisfying to draw Gaster kneeling on the ground like that haha, contact points were - on point ✨ for this doodle session hehehe
Originally I had his glow coloured in purple but this was one that I actually went back to look at (because I love this scene so much hhgggg <3 <3 <3) and had to change to his natural colour - he deserves it!! He’s earned it!!
I’ve honestly fallen more in love with this song through him and vice versa haha ♪ It’d be quite a bit before/if I could make a full version, even just with what I’ve got here, but it was so fun to draw at all ♥
#Doodles#UT#Handplates#Papyrus#Sans#Gaster#And a bunch of others but only as cameos lol#Largely unedited because there's...a lot lol#The total ended up being 45 panels over the course of about five hours I think?#This was the project that really killed my hand#Honestly I don't even think it was drawing all of them so quickly - tho that didn't help lol#I think it was going back and forth between writing down the lyrics and drawing the accompanying art#I hold my pencil slightly differently between the two and I was in such a hurry to just get it all Out that I split the difference#Which actually just ended up in it being Just Wrong Enough for both to cramp up my hand pretty spectacularly#It actually still hurts a little a couple days later and I haven't drawn anything since lol#But it was worth it! It's not just floating around inside my head anymore! Phew!#Video-ifying it is a whole other thing tho...#But y'already know about that lol#I'm still going to give it a go but I don't exactly have a lot of hope lol#More than anything I'm just glad to have these down :) They're a very raw expression of the chemical soup Handplates made in my brain haha#Comparing the inspired-bys to their originals is interesting to me :0 These being like the shadow-print reading left on my mind hehe#Some things are more intense! Some less so - mostly to do with my ability to recreate them how they ''feel'' haha#It was a lot of fun :) Got a lot of Feelings out all at once! And all it took was my right hand hurting for a few days! Pfft#It's also kinda nice to edit a bit less - especially now that my paper is playing nice! Sheesh#Everything just out all at once hehe ♪#I do love to make in the same breath that I think up a concept! It keeps me energized! Keeps me moving forward! Feels good :)#So much better than just sitting on an idea until it's ''done right'' :P#I want to make pretty things of course! But sometimes I just want to Make

Undertale yellow flowey embroidery
This took about 40 hours, give or take a few
#I can tell you one thing#Embroidering while having arthritis is really not a piece of cake. When you hand cramps just by holding it at an angle.#At least I can be grateful for my empty schedule#Makes embroidering till the sun rises back up so much easier#Insomnia also helps with this task#I was listening to the ost while working on it and… Live reaction#Occupied turf is so good actually !? Why wasn’t it shown more often !? IT’S FIRE !?#I forgot I only did a pacifist so I got so confused when neutral Flowey came out…#A mother’s love ? Should’ve called this “I’m gonna fuck you up”#The number of time I got my ass handed back to me in this fight is not even funny#The first time is great. The second I only discern my favorites and the sudden change in style. By the third loop I can’t recognize shit#my brain is melting and my eyes are on fire…#Advantages on doing it during daytime. Eyes hurt less. Good stupid tv to listen to in the background Disadvantages. People#Advantages on doing it at night. Alone. Personally work better at night#Disadvantages. No good TV. Time goes by slower…? I don’t know maybe I’m just loosing it with those freaking petals#For reference one petal took me about 3 and a half hours. So yeah… I thought it would never end… Took out almost all my yellow.#When the line tangles itself in the back and you realize only close to the end of it that half went missing#So you have to go backward to entangle it and loose 30 mins because damn it#Cats are not helpful in any of those scenarios#Why do I feel the need to make the back perfect when nobody else but me will know#This is the last time I do one so big without thinking it through#Note to self. Don’t do it standing up when the cats are awake. She just destroyed my stomach#I think i’m losing it#Back after a few weeks#God this white thread is doing my head in… I’m willing to bet my leg half the time I spent on the face was me untangling it.#I’m almost done. It’s finally over. Dark brown took exactly 4 h and 13 mins#undertale#undertale yellow#embroidery#I’m thinking of doing Boris the wolf next. Because I just found the perfect rendition to put on my wall

i know i've been very culty on here about period underwear and reusable period products in general whenever i've brought up the topic in the last year or so but i mean it sincerely. i have never spent my money on a product that just simply improved my life so much. game-changing isn't even the beginning of it. i look forward to how much better my periods are now since i no longer have to depend on gross disposables. period underwear is the shit
#the best thing is it doesn't even feel wet. it doesn't even feel wet#like when you're a kid and you're new at it and all you can think about is how much you dont wanna be on your period anymore#and how much you wanna go back to just wearing your underwear like a normal day#with period underwear. you're just wearing underwear. and it DOES feel like a normal day#menstruation cw#other than y'know you're continuously bleeding and maybe you have cramps or whatever#other than having a kinda swimsuity texture (cant think of a better way to describe it) it just feels like underwear#it's JUST underwear#tales from diana#i mean im not even on my period rn although i am getting closer to it#i just bought ordered some new stuff and once this comes in. i'll be disposable-pad free forever#like i could cry about that#including some cloth pads (ive never tried them before)#i figured i could keep one or two of those in my purse or whatever for emergencies#the ONLY (and i mean only) inconvenient thing about period underwear is that it's much less convenient to just change or put on in public#on light or moderate days for me at least they can last the whole day. on heavy days it's good to change every 12 hours#and i can typically depend on doing that at home#but if i have a cloth pad for emergencies then i never have to rely on a disposable EVEN IN THE CASE that my period comes unexpectedly.#i mean it like i'm genuinely excited about this#i have only mentioned it a handful of times to friends in the year-plus that i bought that first pair of thinx#but i would literally buy any of my friends who menstruate a pair or a pack if they asked#like im very passionate about what a life improvement it has been#why do you think i'm always vag-angelizing about it these days?

back after too long ! my laptop is fucked so i have logged in on jam's :^0 reading some great books atm and having quite a lovely time over all, saw my mum yesterday and went to my fav restaurant in bristol (by far the fanciest restaurant i've been to but not actually fancy) which was sooooooooo nice and i paid , then we went to a comedy gig for someone my mum follows and then back to said lovely restaurant for pudding + a cocktail each, then a good 45 min walk home which was nice. good to talk. i am bad at meaningful conversations with anyone other than esme but i am getting better. even my mum thinks i should get therapy :^S but good to hear hers is going well... sigh sigh sigh . good day at work today i truly get on with so many of my coworkers so well and feels like we are properly friends.. lunch w k and a and n which was a great vibe and then the 4 of us + t went to the pub after work which was also great vibes although i neeeeeeeeed to learn to have a filter.... i am such an interminable show off/gossip/general sad desperate 14yo ... but i shall get there i suppose. talking w mum so much last night about how i need to be kinder w myself and recognise how huge an accomplish my being almost-normal actually is comp. to how i was when i left home etc.... i am so high functioning and i am allowed to be proud of myself for that.... work itself was also really good actually, far too much mucking around but still got a lot done and my work is so rewarding ... following up something w a couple i support recently and the wife shouting to me on the phone w her husband about how they managed to get out and go swimming the other day for the first time in living memory she was so excited to tell me.... makes me well up a bit actually... i love people. damn i was so miserableihatemyselfwhycantihaveafilterandbenormal selfharmurge like 10 mins ago and now i am full of joie de vivre again .. what 1 guinness on an empty stomach does to a girl .. jam is currently making me nachos for dinner
#i love to ramble ! and saves so much space in my diary and cramp in my hand to type it...#alia#i am soooooooo fond of a i admire him like a child i really really want him to adopt me as his little sister#we were talking abt black holes at lunch and he said something about them not being a concept or something#and i came back w well ur not a concept bc no one thinks abt u so ur not conceptualised or something#and n said i had such little sister energy for that#and later when i was coming back to my desk after a meeting a stopped me and told me i was like a black hole bc i was infinitely dense#which he then got such a nod from n for like they def workshopped that#and i feel like we are basically adopted siblings already is my point#waaaaaaa i am so full of energy#maybe i am an extrovert#need to go for work drinks more i love everyone#i just hope i dont make everyone hate me !!!!!!!!

[behind the scenes of writing Two Hearts Could Be One]:
ok if Asbel ends up being the one who kills Cedric that's important I think that'd weigh on his conscience so I should try to have at least one scene acknowledging that maybe let him talk with Richard abt it but hmm I didn't leave much room in the plot here for extra stuff maybe they can discuss it while helping Richard get ready for the coronation oh that's right Richard's injured he probably needs help getting dressed for it and I can draw parallels between the wound Richard has now and the one Asbel got at Wallbridge and wait am I seriously planning a scene where Asbel sensually undresses Richard while talking about the man he killed on his behalf jesus christ you two stop turning this into a romance 😩
#2hcb1#dolphin noises#I'm at this point in the game which means considering this point in my story but my first draft had a few flaws to work out 😩#I can't decide whether this fic should eventually have the Asbel/Richard pairing in the main tags or not#it's definitely there intentionally but it's not what the story is entirely about nor will it end w them getting together#if scenes like this keep cropping up though then I probably should 😅 if it's there I should tag it though I don't want to get ppls hopes up#this is the fun part of writing though one minute you're trying to structure continuity into one's character arc#the next the characters are making out 😅 I did not tell them to do this in fact I am swatting their hands#Stop it pay attention I'm trying to write a plot 😩#but I don't think I can avoid homoerotic tension when one of them has sworn to be the other's sword/shield 😅#am I just Pascal cramping on their mwah mwah hanky panky moments 😂#tho it's less of a 'ew that's gay' and more of a 'please stop making out on company time we only have 45 minutes to rehearse this 😩'

people will really have entire jobs teaching people how to do specific things with their fingers despite knowing nothing about any of the biomechanical variations that might make these tasks much more difficult for those who have them
#i'm just now learning at the age of 28 about the implications of the limited range of motion i have in my first metacarpophalangeal joints#it's literally the reason i easily get hand cramps from writing and playing the piano and why i struggle so much with chopsticks#and not once did any of the people who ever tried teaching me these things say a damn word to suggest they even noticed#at least for the latter i've just found a website with a bunch of alternative chopstick grips i could try using#anyway i think everyone should have a similarly limited range of motion in their first metacarpophalangeal joints#it looks weird and alarming to me when people can bend their thumbs the apparently normal amount

Ya know what inktober or cringetober, what have you, I'll be drawing all these Isaac au shitpost nonsense baby. I FEEL ALIVE. WITNESS MY CRINGE OR LOOK AWAY IN DISGUST. IM LIVING! WRAAGGHHH
#i have not been able to draw this much in years dude#i went thru a whole sketchbook in just two weeks its freaking epic#my brain juices my hand juices theyre coming to life#too bad my fmla will end in november. god i wish i was paid to draw nonsense like this#and trust me you do not need to know or play isaac to know what the heck is going on#im the master of not knowing whats going on and the master of catfishing. i dont know anything and you shouldnt either#its all about wink wink nudge nudge but i take full creative liberties. im taking the reins and going into maximum overdrive#and i hope my new followers enjoy what im spitting. please take a gander at the other things i draw because i have bursts of hyperfixations#i just want to be free to draw what i want ya know. i always feel held back because it doesnt go toward with improvement or making money#but i really think i am improving right now by drawing all this stuff my brain is spitting. my hand tryna keep up with my thought patterns#its nice. and my hand isnt cramping. why? cause i keep taking breaks. me taking breaks yet still drawing this much#youll know you improve if can get thoughts and sketches down fast and comprehensible when you go to clean it up#im rambling but i jsut want you to know that i am happy. even if no one really pays attention to what ive beeb doing. be it this or my ocs#im having fun. genuine fun. i am so tired so goodnight. i lov e you guys

In less than two hours I was able to write five pages (more like four whole pages and a quarter) that came to almost a thousand words meanwhile every other time in my life im fighting and sobbing trying to break 500-
I think this might be a sign that I should write by hand more than typing up
#tj talks#hoping I dont jinx myself by this lmao#my goal was to get five pages by sunday on midnight and then i just put on my playlist and zoned out#i forgot how satisfying it is to write by hand- except for the constant hand cramping-#but i think this may be a sign that im more productive when i write with simple pen and paper then on the computer??? idk#im still trying to figure out how to be a productive writer ill let you guys know more as time goes on lol#also fun fact about me is that i have HORRID handwriting just chicken scratch#but i havent written anything over break so finally getting through is something small that im proud of myself for

me in the bus going to an event i really don't want to go to while sick and on my period, picturing my body dead in a ditch to cope with the current horrors of being alive
#i'm cramping i'm nauseous my throat hurts none of the meds i took are working#+ i went through a bad skin-picking week so my hand looks fucked up now#which i don't really care about usually i am not. very self-conscious about that like it is what it is#BUT a guy who already made a comment about it once will be there#and if he says something again i'm blowing myself up in front of everyone i think#anyway. i'll probably just leave after 30 minutes. i already skipped the last thing with this group which sucks a little bit but#i'm an adult. you can't force me to stay in places anymore#.parakeet

*shaking and crying* why is nobody online capable of forming an opinion based on more than 2 pieces of information
#like i have the same issue i get cognitive dissonance so bad my chest starts hurting#and its all i can think about for weeks#i just.... think about it until i form a new opinion taking both pieces into account#yall hear info from skmeone with an opposing viewpoint and instead of going#“this person has a harmful view and may be sharing this due to said harmful view and i should handle this with caution”#you just.. dont consider them to be able to be correct at anything#im sorry im soap boxing so hard rn#im just having a “cognitive dissonance so bad im not gonna sleep until midnight bc i cant stop thinking bout it” moment#and journaling cramps up my hand so tumblr is the next best thign
