Hey… you wanna see something cool?

✨Shows you my awesome 1990s Sonic redesign✨

And now for some long-ass context…

It was originally just for a lesson we were doing in college. Every Wednesday we have this thing called “Workshop Wednesdays”, and one of the things involving it is the first two lesson being dedicated to doing something to a related subject (Like digital art, tattooing ect). For the digital lesson that I was doing, it was about redesigning video game covers. Idk why, but the thing idea that came to me was Sonic Adventures. To get an idea on what I could do for it, I searched up what year the game was released, which was 1998. And I then got an idea. What if I redesigned to what Sonic might have looked like in that year? So using references of the clothing rules in the 1990s, I was able to compose a redesign of Sonic. And I enjoyed it so much, I thought… why not do more? So I did three more! And now I’ve finished Knuckles, I’ve been letting people request other characters I should do. I’ve already gotten a few, along with some thoughts of doing Shadow and Rouge. So once I’ve finished those, I’ll definitely show them here. I might also make an analogy post going through the designs themselves, possibly in the form of a reblog.

one odd thing about going deeper is that I'm no longer satisfied with shallower. and that's, weirdly enough, a net positive. I've self harmed - eh, twice? in the last month. both were well into the criteria that should have got sutures and ignored it; suspect I hit a vein once and was extremely close to muscle, which feels kind of odd. yeah, it's ramped up; yeah, there's a lot of blood and all that kind of stuff. very high risk of infection, potential nerve damage and all that kind of stuff (though I have not got either of them; I scared off an infection that wanted to hang round by chucking quantities of alcohol on it). but at the same time. that's only twice. that's a lot better than previously.

Still haven't messaged my mom back. And I don't think I'm going to.

Hot take but I do also find the western leftists acting like this was the inevitable outcome, crowing "well what do you expect?" in the face of indiscriminate brutality and sexual violence to be part of a larger pattern of just presuming certain people to be incapable of not committing terrible acts as if that's a very progressive and not at all racist position to hold

If you're not having any kind of joint pain today, take a second to thank your body..... And do some stretching RIGHT NOW.

I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂

An excerpt from something that's been in my drafts for far too long now

Luffy & Sabo, pre-canon, Sabo still has amnesia but Koala dragged him to spend a day on Dawn Island and just so happened to time it right after Ace left, and he ended up spending the day with Luffy

Sabo gave in to the impulse, leaning forward to press a kiss against Luffy’s forehead. 

The kid looked up at him, eyes wide and only just starting to fill up with tears. The cry that escaped his throat sounded almost painful, raw and violent, and he lunged forwards, hands fisting in Sabo’s coat as his face pressed against his cravat. 

“I miss Sabo,” he sobbed into Sabo’s chest. 

Sabo gingerly wrapped his arms around the kid. 

“...I’m sorry I’m not the person you want me to be,” he said. 

They stayed like that for a while. Sabo kept rubbing Luffy’s back in what he hoped to be a soothing motion, allowing the kid to let it all out. 

In the end, Luffy was the one to pull away, straightening up as he wiped at his eyes with wrist. 

Sabo gently pulled his arm down, grabbing a handkerchief to use instead. 

He carefully cleaned up Luffy’s face, letting him use the handkerchief to blow his nose once done. Sabo intended to leave the fabric with Luffy, anyway, so it would be fine. 

Once Luffy was all cleaned up, the time has come to say goodbye.

I will be forever grateful i can be on this new med. it's one a lot of folks also need and can struggle to have access to! It's important i be on it, especially if i start doing any vid collabs

(some of which, really, all of which, i unfortunately actually need to cancel that were in the preplanning stages, bc the election results have me wanting to wait and see how the general atmosphere of the country is before i agree to meet up with anyone. I feel bad for cancelling, but also i just can't know for sure how safe things are/might be going forward and I'd rather avoid the potential of. ya know. various not great things that could happen at a meet up, tho i would certainly hope they wouldn't. i don't feel like actually addressing them rn, u guys know what i mean)

That said, if the truvada initial side effects could fuck off asap would be so lovely. three weeks at worst, then they should be gone/much better or so i am told. really hope that's true bc losing my mornings to being dizzy and nauseous is Not Working for me lmao. im on week two, and now understand why my new doc said to call if i needed any 'cheerleading' and support to get thru the side effects, bc apparently she's done that for several ppl to make sure they actually make it thru the three weeks and keep on it (lovely of her!!)

man i forgot i wrote 3k words of that one fic and an outline for the rest....... maybe i can finish it on my three day weekend........ but no promises

state of the Hazel: not doing too great. general summertime sadness combined with a recently passed cat of mine is not great for the mind. i'm gonna miss that big dope.

i'm getting a good sense for how i'm also feeling gameways, though it ain't much good news. getting back into Persona is feeling rough because i feel like i "have to" play it more than i "want to" play it, generally never great. i still really want to have played it and post the clips here, but given the whole moderation issues of this site, it feels like there's added pressure to do it before it's too late, whether or not "too late" is something i actually need to worry about.

as for more immediate issues, sticking to just Splatoon for so long is getting me into burnout phases. i can understand why, in the past few years, i've usually finished at least one or two pokemon monotype runs by August, maybe visit another game for a good while, but i've done neither this year.

i think playing a new game is probably the best way to get out of this funk right now, though. precisely, i think something i never posted here could work best, to help enjoy the posting process a little bit more too.

i did a whole shopping list in the tags sitting on this, but that'll do for this one. give myself a little time with something new, should be be fine.
