showing off the commission i got from @ruporas for my fic, In the Next Life!

i'm still so incredibly excited about this. it's been some months since the story event that caused these scars, but i wanted SO BADLY to be able to see what they'd actually Look like... & Here They Are.

ruporas rendered the scars So Well, i just cant stop Looking at them... there's a Fresh & a Healed version, which ruporas was kind enough to give me without additional charge (Thank U Again😭😭) so i get to see what it looks like at different stages.

Lichtenberg Figures. in terms of actual scarring, lightning strikes that people survive don't tend to leave permanent scars, but the lichtenberg figures that they (usually temporarily) leave behind are just So Cool... Now, what happens when you get someone who can survive an amount of electricity/lightning that would be Frankly Lethal to any normal human person?

This :]

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it

last rb had me thinking of how lame bif would actually be as a person

[mbat]

world of warcraft is wild in that they have a species that is an antisemitic caricature (which said species commonly is in fantasy but they really go hard on it) and then they let you play as said species which i think is already wild. also if you play the default starting area you are made to play a horrible person as that species

and then i, a jewish person, made a character of that species as a way to somehow spite them (?? i still dont know how that spites them but it was why i did it) but then i got like really attached to her and shes one of my favorite characters ive made in general and i think about her a lot. also i didnt play the default starting area so she wasnt forced to be a totally completely bad person at least for any of that

tfw you make one dimensional antisemitic caricature species but then you make them playable and therefore allow your players to get attached and make non one dimensional characters of them. wild

ive actually been tracking my mood consistently for the past 3 weeks. the data is about 2 go crazy

[samarecharm]

Have no idea what the popular opinions of this game are, but im really liking how ‘simple’ the game is compared to p5. It makes sense; its an older game w less physical space to fuck around with. And it still resembles an smt game, unlike p5, which feels almost like an entirely different series. P5 is chaotic and theres too many people and stats and deadlines to worry about. I do really enjoy that i only have to worry about Tartarus (for the meantime; unsure if theres more dungeons to explore) instead of mementos AND palaces. And i really like that theres only three stats to work on. Its less stuff overall but its not underwhelming; its just less stressful for me and thats a good thing lol

Todays been kinda wild, I find out that one of my transgirl mutuals got deleted at the same time i get an email response from staff MONTHS after the report I made about a post from a terf saying they hope people who use neopronouns kill themselves.

like ok you can instantly brick accounts but take months to tell me that blatant hate speech isnt a problem and doesnt break ur dumbass terms of service? are any humans even working at tumblr anymore?

idk what to say man, it's right there at the top.

"you can express your concerns to them directly"

yeah because transphobes have been known for their levelheaded calm responses against people they view as crazy, disgusting and inferior. they totally aren't trying to drive us all off this site and take away our healthcare and rights in real life. and they TOTALLY dont make up stupid names and slurs to dehumanize us.

the desire to do comms vs my inability to remember that i got a message FIGHT-

[empyreasheart]

but on the topic of language learning apps some i used include

Drops - made by the same people at kahoot, more of a vocabulary app than learning actual grammar but it has a lot of options, free version lets u do 5 minutes every 12 hours. If you want to learn more than one language what i did was download the individual language apps (u can either just download drops for all languages or drops (specific language) ie drops spanish for just spanish) and use different accounts. i also took advantage of the free trial cuz its fun but i do think the 5-10 minutes a day thing works fine to create a doable habit

Beelinguapp - This one requires a subscription i dont remember how much you can do without one but i have an android so i just downloaded a modded apk. edit: i forgot to elaborate when i posted this but its practicing reading / listening by reading stories and articles

Mango languages - this one is a lot different than duolingo but still good, its essentially based on learning by hearing / speaking a new language than just learning vocabulary and writing sentences. It requires premium BUT if you have a library card you can check if your local library lets you use it for free (this isnt guarenteed unfortunately but i think it is more common in bigger areas), there are also some free endangered languages

Memrise - Like the name implies this is mostly an app for memorizing words and sentences, using flashcards. Theres official courses but users can make them too so you can use it for more than just language learning if you want to. I think if you used this with mango languages it would be helpful to get practice writing phrases & words in a way you dont get to with ml. Apparently theres a pro subscription but i have no idea whats different & a lot of people say the free version works just fine

Ling - Havent used this for very long but its almost identical to duolingo but with more languages, its basically premium only but once again i use a modded apk

Some more specific stuff

Lifeprint - ASL w/ videos and its all free! a very good resource even if you arent looking to learn

Tagalog.com - Free resource for tagalog you just have to make an account

If you have resources for specific languages or anything in general id love to hear, this is all just from someone who has had a casual interest in language learning

Also if you have an android you can download modded apks of a lot of paid language apps. Just be safe (use adblock) and smart, not all apks are actually modded or theyre too buggy to be worth it, so pay attention to the reviews. The paid apps are often very nice but the prices are ridiculous. everyone deserves the chance to learn. I dont know if theres ios equilivants (although i wonder if theres a way to run apks on your pc through something like bluestacks)

AHHHHHH

hello! not to be nosy, i’m a young artist and i wanted to ask, what are your tips for starting selling art online? where did you order the keychains from? (they look beautiful!!!) is it some small business, a manufacturer?

thank you very much :3

have a nice day

oh actually i haven't properly sold anything online yet, and it was my first time 4 days ago ive ever sold commissions. I am yet to set up a storenvy page (thats where my mutuals sell so i just trust their choice) and my only actual experience is selling stickers by myself a year ago (an experience i dont wish for anyone; if you want to sell something get yourself a store page. i sold around 80 sticker sets just by instagram dms and navigating that was absolute hell, especially since i didnt have paypal yet and my older friend managed all the money related things. it was succesful but very very stressful and easy to mess up); not much i can help with, im afraid

as for the keychains, i ordered them from vograce!
