Not me doing all the calculations of what I’d have left over wage wise if I were to lower my hours up to 9hours less and noting that I will still be able to live comfortably (i dont...spend...like anything....so-y’know)
but I still won’t be able to get the courage to ask for less hours because it is still like 300€ less and I haven’t even checked how it’d affect stuff like my pension (i have private insurance set up anyway bc it won’t be enough no matter what, but still)+ we already have a whole new schedule which let’s us have 2 days of ‘only’ 6hours of work, with the rest at 9 so it still comes up to 39hours
but also
imagine 2 days off
in a ROW even
i have tuesdays off (unless its a saturday off but thats a whole other spiel), and wednesday is a short day of 6hours
i COULD ask for that to just...be down to 0 so I’d have 32hours a work week, but then i’d have 2days off in a row and I’d stay for the short saturday where we usually are understaffed anyway
but also we aren’t allowed to hire new staff and our regional boss hinted at replacing or just removing staff bc...idfk, money?
they aren’t even willing to pay travel expenses for the staff that has been explicitly hired TO travel to different locations as needed in case of shortage
so it’s all going downhill anyway which is stressful but mostly annoying because I don’t wanna switch to a place that’s even more stuck up so i might as well switch my whole career but that’ll take at LEAST another 3 years of shit for all money but the same if not more stress
god
fuck your 20s, i have the anxiety of a teen and the responsibilities of an adult all while everything is a mess all the time
#txts#its...so annoying#also i was the last person hired so if anyone has to leave#it'll be me#bc contracts#you cant just fire someone for nothing or pick someone specific#afaik you cant even go fire someone bc staff stuff#they have to leave on their own#which...ofc no one will want to#so the last person there kinda has to#or the atmosphere will be way off

... which oblivion has not yet swallowed up and buried. 🌊 (art by @hehearse, who is always wonderful.)
#wolf 359#w359#hera wolf 359#hera w359#i am so in love with this piece#the colors and composition and everything about it#the glassy techlike artificiality of the wave#with its lines and dots#her expression is so striking#the line of her reflections. the way that blue holographic look overlaps in the wave and her dress is cut off by the lines of the uniform#it's so good. it's so so good. thank you so much#this has such a great atmosphere and i think it captures her perfectly. and it's a great representation of#what i mean when i say she's not literally blue. it's what it represents.#art

What inspired your currently coloring style? I'd love to know your process and who/what inspired you to gain such a beautiful way of depicting your characters. What is your process for practicing anatomy as well? Love your stuff!
THANK YOUUU I've always chased the Movie Screenshot look but im recently working on the barrel of worms that is color theory and the way lighting/shadows affect different surfaces. My go to rn is rim light sksksk but im kinda itching to do more challenging lighting scenarios its just a matter of pin pointing What to study and taking the time 🤙 so i guess a movie look and noticing interesting lighting/shadows throughout my day and trying to apply that in drawing form 🤘 as for the anatomy I like to take a scientific approach to it like studying the muscles and where they stack up, how they can move even down to the positioning of the tib and fib, or just real life references or hell sometimes i gotta look at my own arm to grasp wtf a pose is lmfao but i also recommend loose gesture drawing and grasping the overall flow of a pose or limb it rlly helps keep your hand loose and relaxed and can piece the drawing together easier and faster
#basically the way that things can completely change colors in certain atmospheres fascinates me and i wanna learn how to do it too#impressionism i think the practice is called if im regurgitating art shit properly#and like i Know being glued to the multiply and add layers is limiting me from rlly goin crazy with colors and i feel like my brain is#just now accepting that now its just up to me to get off my ass and learn

POV you're a weird bug
#tabitha bennett#naomi evans#ghost girl story#oc#ocs#idk what theyre doin. finding a ghostly artifact perhaps#lotta those lying around#scopophobia#that's a physical flashlight btw tabitha can be tangible and interact with her environment as a human would#that's why she's opaque too (also it's easier to color and animate)#ghosts in this universe are physically present by like#manipulating particles in the atmosphere to take their shape or something#condensing things around them until they appear as solid matter#and if they go intangible its like just their image refracting off particles instead#idk still workin on that part#i think itd be fun if there was some like vaguely grounded and scientific way to present how ghosts work here#obvi not realistic but like. plausible in-universe reasons for how and why they can do what they do#so you know what rules they can and cant abide by when it comes to using ghost powers#me when midnight mass did that for ********

Jeepers Creepers (2001) & House of 1000 corpses (2003) etc really put spn into perspective. Later seasons were very obviously daytime tv inspired (shoddy sets, relying heavily on bad cgi or a very limited costume department, extremely bright super detailed shots, but also just the acting, plots, side characters etc all follow a OUAT, Teen Wolf, random doctor show that airs daily format. lots of talking, lots of random plots), but in the first seasons you can feel this early 2000s Americana horror background. It's really interesting to see, it contextualises a lot.
But apart from that analytical aspect, it's also really inspiring. Imagine what could've been. (on that note: I feel like the Conjuring franchise is a good example for what Americana horror was doing in the 2010s and onward. that also would've been a fun route for spn to take. too bad!)
#the later seasons are just not scary. they just aren't#it's mainly talking.#and I do have a soft spot for conjuring - I think they did something VERY fun with atmosphere etc#imagineeeeeeeee ugh#instead of all this stupid angel demon bs. imagine if we had gotten the creatures that grow in the shadows#ughhhh I LOVED that scene in...the one conjuring that takes place in their home? is it 3? Ugh it was lovely#and the painting of course. that was fun too. I think they ripped that off in IT but in a cute way. Modigliani reference I still adore#or the stuff they do with the ghosts walking background. I'm always a sucker for that#more of THAT would've been so so so so so fun#but no. we have to look at Crowley and his mom doing shoddy politics for 45 minutes#BLEAK#anyways I just watched house of 1000 corpses in case you couldn't tell#and I do find it very goofy and funny obviously. but the sweat! the blood! the dust!!! the cluttered spaces!!!!#oh it's all so fun.#clown boys

Is it just me or do new-engine video games feel like they're getting worse rather than better. Like yeah the textures and physics and FX themselves are improved, but at the same time why does it feel like I'm playing a game from 2001. Something's wrong here.
#//personal#//rant in tags incoming#idk mannn#it's like we're diving back into the uncanny valley or something#ever since the new unity engine came out in like 2020 or smt i've been getting weird vibes from all the new AAA games#my personal theory is that game devs don't know about art or film principles anymore and everything is TOO high resolution.#like the way our eyes process info we don't see every single object in 5000p. if u pay attention to ur periphery it's all smeary right?#so in video games when the unimportant assets are half-assed that's kind of a good thing (if u know about impressionism u understand me)#now it's like. where's the depth of field. and the atmospheric perspective. the subsurface scattering and anti-aliasing. the COLOR THEORY??#not to mention that like the physics themselves are also a bit janky and off-putting#like i see a human character with hair that doesn't hair right and no weight to their movements and it's like looking at a skinwalker or sm#i can't animate for shit but im not getting paid by AAA so. we can do better. we HAVE done better. what happened.#anyways. that's me.#i am very passionate bc im spending thousands on a video game major ty

god. god. sasasap. ogd
#drop#feeling immensely nostalgic for pre isat release days... i only got into it in like mid 2023 and never participated in the fandom#but it was so fun to theorize#and sasasap brings out a very Particular kind of illness within me.#isat is obv the better game and i love it (obviously) but every time i think about sasasap for just 1 second i explode.#just. auuuogh. i love the atmosphere of it. i love how you can tell there were things before the loops but it doesn't feel like it#i love how you're just. thrown into it. you're not ready. you're never ready.#i really love how sasasap (though probably unintentionally) tells its story by Not telling you things#and only doing offhand mentions when it does. because it doesn't matter to this siffrin#like... the way the ability to choose where they loop back is mentioned vaguely once#and again!!@!! thw fuckig atmosphere!!!#it's so stifling!!!! you feel so trapped!!! everything feels so small!!!!!#and with things like the unskippable dialogue (like it or hate it) it really all just feels so miserable to get through. in a good way#and the lack of guidance. it's nowhere near as obvious in sasasap if you're doing a certain route#and there's so many rooms you just can't go in. you don't even know what's in them#and siffrin probably doesn't either. all they remember is that they marked that off for the sake of walking to their death a little bit#faster#just. auogh. sasasap. god

This is one of my favorite (beat) jokes in the series I appreciate how TPN doesn't belabor its comedy so much.
#you know how some series will run shit into the ground and draw attention to something that's soooo 𝚉any and 𝕽a𝕟dom??#can't deal with it klfdjsl; appreciate the way Shirai injects moments of levity like these#while not hindering or completely derailing the atmosphere of the dystopic setting#it's just the single panel reaction shot and we're off again#fucking love Emma's and Hayato's faces dsjfskld#also the butterfly symbolizing Zazie's pure soul <3#The Promised Neverland#Yakusoku no Neverland#TPN#YnN#TPN Zazie#TPN Hayato#Zazie#Hayato#Emma#King of Paradise Arc#TPN 117#FSS Shenanigans#the promised queueland

(wip !!) still in the rough visualising 'i need to get this out of my brain in any form possible' stages but. the interior of the mind of sasha nein . yessss hahahaha yessssssssssssss . rambles in tags!!
#that lyric is tied so strongly to sasha to me. in ways ill describe one day in a notes ramble. as is all of trains across the sea to be fair#i want an uncanny overabundance of wires. like those tangled masses of telephone cable that somehow feel organic despite being technology#because with the interior (and with sasha as a whole) i like to play with the idea of the human body vs machinery and fear of imperfection.#have i mentioned how much i love the atmosphere of portal 1. its sooo good its so good.#and that ties into the telephone wires very well. plus they just look really neat#if i had to assign the interior music itd definitely be 'no cake for you' off of the portal 1 ost#hiiii i like rambling i like thinking about sasha nein#maple sashautism#wips

2024 reads / storygraph
A Botanical Daughter
historical fantasy
a taxidermist and botanist who live in a greenhouse in a botanical garden, far away from the disapproval of Victorian London
when they receive a shipment of a strange sentient fungi, they cultivate it inside a corpse of a recently murdered girl - who was the best friend/lover of their new housekeeper
as she grows and expands her desires they have to deal with their feelings about the potential monster they’ve created
#A Botanical Daughter#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#man I really wanted to like this but I kinda had to force myself to finish it.#really not a fan of the writing style which is very emotionally distant and full of a lot of telling not showing#it could have gotten weird and atmospheric with the writing style! we could have gotten sentient fungi POV! but no.#The characters were flat. the conceptually weird/creepy/horror aspects were executed in the most boring way#the relationship between the men is something we’re told exists but…. I don’t feel it. I don’t like them as characters.#They’re not even interesting enough to hate - or like it could have gone in the direction of embracing the unhinged murder couple vibes#they flip flop between angry arguments and making up and I’m like what is the point of that?? Honestly I didn’t feel any emotional connecti#it kinda feels like it doesn’t know whether it’s whimsical quirky-cozy vibes or like properly gothic horror#it’s somewhere in between & fails at both. it maybe suffers from trying to play into the popularity of coziness#the closest to weird we get is plant lesbian sex scene but also I laughed out loud when I read the line ‘hungry for her loam’#like…..these men essentially create this person then cut her off from the world and her biological desires; control her autonomy/ability#to speak and the conclusion is <3 what a weird little family <3 and not she should#escape and kill them and/or make them grapple with the fact they are at fault for this potential ecological disaster let loose on the world#there’s also weird colonialist lines scattered throughout that don’t feel super interrogated…

Hello :) I just wanted to say that this account will probably only serve as an archive for me to reblog stuff anymore, and I’ll be cleaning it up a bit.
#Long story short I’m not a big fan of the environment on Tumblr :(#I really do love the way the website works (TAGGING SYSTEM MY BELOVED) and the few friends I’ve collected on here. However#The very homogenous atmosphere on here is really awful a lot of the time,I’ve not encountered another social media like it.#It’s unfortunate bc there are so many great archives here and some really good information (but also it’s infamous for misinformation 💀💀)#So I’ll sort of be here. But I’m going to try and spend more time off this website#My Instagram is @purpleaxolotl_25 ! If you want to follow me I’d be delighted,and please tell me who you might be if your user is different#Also!! To make it clear I have not been victim to any bullying/harassment! It’s just been my observations of the things people say

youtube for some inexplicable reason keeps suggesting videos to me about whether sonic 3 or mufasa will be the bigger hit at the box office and I'm not gonna watch the videos but also like. I really hope it's sonic-
#my reasons for this are as follows#1) I like the sonic movies#2) I am sick and tired of the live action disney remakes AND their obsession with sequels so to essentially do Both at Once is evil to me#and I need it to fail please ohmygod I cannot take any more of these please someone make it STOP#3) I have a very specific hatred of hyper-realistic cgi lion king remake and now they're doing ANOTHER ONE makes me mad also#also yknow what as an aside I'm gonna yell about lion king 2019 fuck it these are my tags on my blog and i am going to subject people to my#Weirdly Specific Opinions about a movie. anyways I mean again hatred for the life action remake obsession ASIDE like. it just fucking sucks#like for how much they hyped up how Realistic the visuals are and how Lifelike it looks uhhhhhhhh. it looks 'realistic' in the sense that#the models and textures are good and like that's all I can say about it#the actual animation like-#IT'S SO BAD. THE CHARACTERS DONT EVEN EMOTE IN ANY WAY AT ALL. IT LOOKS LIKE A BORING NATURE DOCUMENTARY BUT WORSE BECAUSE AT LEAST REAL#LIFE LIONS DONT JUST STAND THERE BLANKLY#and before you say 'oh but sage real life lions dont smile and have eyebrows and stuff' I KNOWWW#BUT ALSO LIKE. BODY LANGUAGE. COME ON. IF YOU DONT WANT TO STUDY REAL LIONS CAN YOU AT LEAST LIKE LOOK AT A HOUSE CAT OR SOMETHING#also it Extra pisses me off because the original lion king like.......... the animation is So Good.... and they clearly did their research#into cat body language.... and also THE ANIMATION IS SOOO GOOD......#and then the remake is um. well fucking look at it.#also they cant even get the ATMOSPHERE right like how do you even do that#ughhhh i haaaate that fucking remake i hate it soooo much#but uh. yeah anyways. hate lion king 2019 and sonic 3 needs to destroy mufasa

Ok played more veilguard today. The writing is definitely. Hm. Well it's been said plenty by people much more invested in the lore than me. But at the very least, what I Can say, is that the game is Fun. Though I need a front liner desperately. I'm a rogue playing at front liner and I suck at dodging and I keep getting the shit beat out of me. But it's ok I've pulled through 👍 with quick and nimble reflexes and my beloved Potion Stealing Skill.
#speculation nation#fanny plays dav#datv spoilers/#i dont like this representation of the elven gods. i dont like how heavy handed it was after the harding thing. felt a bit patronizing.#like i mean with me supporting her and her new abilities and then the game was like 'little did they know the shadows were creeping up on#them. but Surely something tied to the history of the dwarves is a good thing...'#in a way that sounded very 'this is not good and youre stupid for thinking so' like thaaaaanks#i just got to treviso and i dont like how theyre portraying the qunari here. but thats more than just this place huh.#just feels so... idk. theyre just kinda here??? when did this happen??? just feels like an excuse to have conflict here.#Not Every City Needs To Be Living Under An Oppressive Regime For There To Be Interesting Conflict.#especially when the oppressive regime is racist generalizing of an entire group of people etc etc#man i also dont like how the game closes off areas behind me. thats more of a gameplay critique but just#i like a lot of the gameplay but it's so annoying to get done with a fight and go 'phew! need a new potion. good thing there was a potion#pot in the last room!' but i try to go back and i CANT ACCESS IT ANYMORE!!!!! 😭😭😭😭 please we dont need to segment it like this!!!!#and it's got such beautiful atmospheres i wanna be able to wander thru it all. but i cant. bc i can only move forwards.#just makes me kinda sad.#anyways thats my current thing. mixed bag 👍 but still having fun with it.#i just cant put much care into the lore bc i wont like it lol. just here to cut some things up and look at pretty environments.

hi graphite :) are you enjoying the mouthwashing also hoped you looked into the content warnings
I DID I REALLY ENJOYED THE MOUTHWASHING. I did see the CWs and I went into this fully #ready this game is my shit in so many ways
#I had vouches from multiple parties whom I trust with the matter that it was good at having the conversation it was trying to have#and also info that it's a surreal atmospheric horror point and click. Which I love and which it is. It was awesome#It's so good at writing dialogue that knocks everything out of one and leaves one just going Man. *Fuck*#and at doing fucked up gore. The scene where you saw off Curly's leg is some of the grodiest animated gore I've ever seen#Not even for content but the context and way it's framed and shown and Waugh.#It's also so good at making use of Horrible Noises.
