#I have been treating myself all day#got my oil changed and some other mechanical things taken care of#so my car is in good shape#filled up with gas#picked up some amazing bagels#oh! went to the pool for a while#and then meditated in the hot tub#and picked up dinner for tonight (bake at home pizza)#but the biggest treat of all is that money I spend regularly#on a housekeeper#today she emptied the dishwasher#and she always folds my sheets#which I hate doing#she is worth her weight in gold#I’ve had a housekeeper for many years now#I treated myself long ago#and it’s always been worth skipping a few Starby’s drinks every month#this one?#she’s freaking amazing#anyway did I mention that now I’m reading an actual book?#I feel very decadent today

I would just like to apologize to crochet for being a knitting snob for so many years
#seriously i lost so many good years of creation and wonder to my allegiance to needles#crochet is the BEST#there’s so much POTENTIAL#so much you can MAKE#this is not me slamming knitting by any means#there’s something magical about using five double-pointed needles to make a sock#(never got the hang of magic loop but i hear it’s great)#but crochet? only having one live stitch at any given moment? being able to try on as you go?#*chef’s kiss*#*slaps roof of car full of crochet hooks*#you can make so many shapes with this baby

Snoopy #33
3/11/2024
#peanuts#snoopy#art#33#music#PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS SONG THE CHORUS IS SOOO GOOD!!!!#the visual composition of this piece is kinda ass ngl. like it's just random stuff all over the place but oh well!#wired headphones because i'm a HATER of the wireless headphones revolution that has been going on for the last like 6-8 years or so#anyway i'm obsessed with this song#and it's maybeeee lowkey relevant to my life rn 👀#guy offering me a ride home despite me living out of his way = one of many dominoes in a chain of events that will probably lead to a crush#eventually... if not right now#idk i'm insane and a loser so i could slow burn for years but i am trying not to waste other people's time with my shenanigans anymore#so into another outlet these feelings must go!#how did CRJ manage to capture so perfectly how i felt in the car in 4 simple little lines... megabrained genius behaviour i have to say!#also that car ride home was a few months ago and i didn't discover this song until afterwards (despite this album being 9 years old lol)#so how i felt in the car was Not at all influenced by any pre-existing knowledge of this song#or any desire to shape the events of my life to fit the emotions of the song for the Plot or the Aesthetic or the Narrative or whatever#it just came into my life like a perfectly tailored jacket from a thrift store

ID: An illustration of three stylized vehicles, each having one central headlight (or 'eye!'). To the left is a boxy, jeep-like car with a kayak on top and a license plate that reads 'SUR-V3' (survey). In the middle is a rounded mid-century styled car with an '3Y3R011' (eyeroll) license plate, and on the right is an orange and yellow truck with the text "Outta Sight, Outta Mind! Moving Service" painted on the side. Its license plate reads 'N0-P33K1N' (no peekin'). End ID
Some vehicle exploration for Visible Spectrum :) did u know drawing cars becomes a lot more fun when you think of them as little guys. its true i swear
(Additional studies and sketches under read more! These will be using ALT text for IDs and I also included some additional info on each set)
Some of my initial loose car studies, mostly referencing photos of older vehicles from around the 50s since Visible Spectrum's world is partially inspired by a lot of midcentury aesthetics!
These were really fun and I actually enjoyed the process a lot more than I thought I would. I found it was helpful to try and not think of cars as being constrained to box proportions or straight lines.
my initial ventures into attempting to stylize cars into having one 'eye!' Not referenced from any particular photos, but instead cross-referencing different vehicles and pulling aspects that I liked / that I thought would work for these designs. Experimented in some of these with how tail lights might look (vaguely. lol) as well as how to make these cars look expressive (one of the more fun parts of this process)!
I don't like how a lot of that last set looks but I think its fun to look at where the initial planning began to where the final image ended up
#froxart#froxposting#described#visible spectrum#illustration#prop design#vehicle#i wanna say my good friend brewbug is the one that originally got me thinking about making the cars all have one headlight :)#bc of the whole thing about cars kind of subliminally looking like faces. so in a world of cyclopses. what else would they do for their car#yk????#i need to draw..... MORE CARS!!!! i NEED TO!!!!!!!! ITS FUN!!!!!#especially now having kinda figured out how to stylize the one headlight thing +++ how to do shading and shapes for em in this style#shakes my fists. One dayyyy#art fear vanquished. ive drawn bikes and cars i can draw anything.

lifehack protip c / o my amazing weird house:
you know that thing where it is Scrub All The Hardwood/Tile Floors Day & you need to make like, those Multi-Towel Walkways/Barriers between each room's mopped/unmopped sides..? (lest someone inevitably either slip on the Unexpected Wet &/or track Dirty Floor Grime right back onto the newly established Clean Floor Zone..?)
well.
have you considered instead simply having four front doors.
#did you know you can avoid EVER HAVING to walk through ANY room at ANY TIME if EVERY ROOM simply has its own Door To The Outside#look ok i understand that the truthfulness of this joke really depends on your definition of Front Door#but like. you can enter this house directly from the parking area into:#1) the front hallway#2) the master bedroom#3) roommate's conjoined studio apartment#4) the front hallway again but the opposite end#(like ok you know that scene from the good place s2 e12 where eleanor gets the trick offer from the judge)#(& is walking through that infinity-recursion-door-to-nowhere on a loop because it supposedly is helping her think)#(think of that except it's me going out of my bedroom door + into the back entry hall door + back out the front entry hall door)#(BECAUSE THAT IS QUITE LITERALLY THE FASTEST WAY FOR ME TO UNLOAD THE GROCERIES FROM MY CAR)#(THIS HOUSE IS JUST NOT A CORRECT HOUSE-SHAPED SHAPE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER I LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU GUYS)

something something early seasons sam&dean when they were looking for john and wondering if he was even alive and then his death and every horrible thing that comes after it with the caption as “But there's no other explanation. He's gone for good.” “You're lying.”“Am I? Do you remember the twentieth century? Think the twenty-first is going any better? Do you think God would have let any of that happen, if he were alive?” something something
#PROBABLY been done before but. the god and john mirroring is just sooooooo good it tickles my brain wonderfully#particularly was thinking abt this bc. ok so i started watching percy jackson. and i never read the books growing up so its new to me#and percy talking about the life long neglect from his father and how all the other kids at camp dont Know their parent. they have gifts#from them and Thats it. and from the way they behave when they are taken/broken (clarisse’s spear breaking. annabeth not wanting to lose her#cap) leads me to believe its one gift and thats all you will probably ever have of your parent#(and the journal and car being the Only things sam&dean have of john are like the gifts in that way)#your parent is a GOD a faceless god that you are to worship and follow without question. to not go against them or slight them in any way#(medusa’s head in the mall to olympus)#and it all made me think of john winchester and how he really doesn’t have that many episodes and hes still so PROMINENT#and in the flashbacks especially hes just barely out of sight out of reach. hes unknowable and will never be within grasp…#and still the chokehold he has on his children…. even in death#and like. i dont believe personally that john being dead led to sam&dean’s tragedies following in every season after that but the neglect#and treatment in life did. it shaped who they are and he let it happen. he created them#/revelation

Did my first Formula C practice, qualify, and race and got first place!
The team i'm with is in 3rd though. Teammate AI driver didn't do so hot (which is fine like, small steps to getting Team Gold and all)
I'm surprised I picked up the pacing quite quickly though I'm still having trouble starting when there's cars all around me (ANXIETY :'] ), but I'm gonna get the hang of the AI settings I placed in as well as might change them to better suit how I want to play this game (mostly chill but do wanna win so it's on a fairly easy difficulty setting).
The thing I'm also adjusting is like...the screen I'm using now isn't the screen I used to play this game on and it's smaller width wise so everything feels SO DAMNED CLOSE when it also really ain't.
As far as the tuning mechanics go, I'm just gonna leave the tyres up to the pc to figure out mostly (like...Unless there's a VERY specific way to have the tyres pressure and...agh I forgot the second important setting), but in general It's gonna have to be a Per Car/Per Track/Per Weather basis.
I'm gonna hate wet/rainy weather so goddamn much >.<
#irrelevant babble#I also gotta stop pulling on the steering column#during practice it basically popped off the desk on a turn and...yeah...#the car was fine and I slid off into the grass but damnit#I'm definitely outta shape for games like this cos I still feel muscle tension where it shouldn't be as well as tightness in areas#But it's cos of my nervousness to drive as clean and safe as possible while also adjusting to my aggressive habits#Gonna tone down the aggression on starts in the actual race tho cos umm....#still haven't found The Trick to getting a good acceleration start from neutral to 1st gear#so yeah I'm learning and relearning. Good stuff :3

the reason im so fixated on ducks right now is because i discovered how fucking fascinating it can be to watch them. like ok u go to a park and u see like 400 mallards. boring! but then you find out that there's domestic ducks. then you find out ducks hybridize a lot more than other birds. then you find out about how to spot intersex ducks. that boring looking mallard? it's actually a female gadwall or an american black duck!
basically there's a lot of cool stuff you can find if you just sit down and look carefully :)
#my posts#and with domestic ducks there's also a bunch of different breeds#im still new to identifying ducks so it's been really fun and challenging trying to learn bc there's. so much to learn#in my experience ive seen a handful of domestic ducks. one even seemed conditioned to people bc everytime i left my car it would approach m#i also got to find my first hybrid!#waterfowl in general are just really cool but i havent done much learning with them. like cackling geese for example.#i know about them and i know theyre smaller than canada geese so i try to look out for them#there's also identifying ross' geese vs snow geese#or tundra swans vs trumpeter swans#i know the differences between tundra and trumpeter but sometimes it can be really hard to tell the difference if the tundra doesnt#have the yellow marking on its face. im not very good with subtle bird shape differences#and you also have to factor in the possibility of hybrids with waterfowl#anyways waterfowl are very interesting and that is my case

im actually a great person sometimes and i think i dont give myself enough credit for that.
#like when i was out with my family the other day#and we were walking out of this big building#and this women was trying to push a stroller out#and these doors were not very accessibility friendly#and i didnt know her and she didnt even ask for help#but as i was walking past i noticed out of the corner of my eye that she needed some help#(she was kind of trapped between the stroller and Door 1 trying to get past Door 2 but she couldnt reach the handle or push it open)#and i stopped and opened the door and held it open for her to get out and then wished her happy holidays and left#basically yes i am bragging that was SUPER punk rock of me you should all compliment me#and last year i was doing the same outing with my family going to the same places (its kind of a tradition)#and we passed some buskers on our way to some place and one specific guy was playing a violin really well#and i had. no cash.#and i knew my mom would not give me cash to give to the busker#so whilst we were strolling#we stopped at a stand selling pieces of handmade belgian chocolate in fun shapes#and all my family was getting gifts for each other and other family members#and my mom was paying temporarily (we'd pay her back when we got home)#and i saw a chocolate violin and asked my mom to get it for me#and my mom thought it was odd that i was getting something for myself and no one else but agreed#and i insisted i get to carry it back to the car#and as we walked back i made certain i passed the violin busker again#and he was packing up so i ran up to him as fast as i could and gave him the violin and told him happy holidays and merry christmas#and he was super thankful#that was so punk rock of me#he was so happy and that made me so happy#i hope hes doing alright#he was really good at violin#anyway i definitely mean to toot my own horn#bc i never tell anyone about any of this stuff so i dont seem like im bragging but it really was cool#three pigeons in a trench coat

hii i noticed in your recent post you said you didn’t think anyone would give you an ocd diagnosis because your room is untidy. i’m sorry to tell you this, but hoarding/extreme clutter is often a symptom of ocd as well. i do think it’s worth talking to someone about, even if it’s not ocd or if they can’t “diagnose” anything. a lot of neurodivergencies overlap and some methods for treating it could still help you! my anxiety was a weird, wicked shape that didn’t get better with “panic disorder” treatment, so my therapist treated it as ocd and it helped me a lot. you deserve relief!
anyways just wanted to hop in and say that because it was advice that helped me a long time ago. i hope you find something that helps you, mental health is definitely tough to navigate at times

I just wanted to thank you both for the advice and clarification! 💖 I definitely want to see a professional and figure out precisely what is going on with me so I can get treatment, because whether or not it’s OCD it’s become fairly clear to me that anxiety meds alone aren’t cutting it
#first anon your description of your anxiety as being a weird wicked shape really resonates with me#when i tell you the things i have anxiety about are so weird and random and irrational#things that could actually happen to me like home invasion or a car accident? i sleep#demonic possession? keep a rosary and bible next to my bed despite being an atheist#i don’t know why i’m telling you all this. i mostly just wanted to thank you both for reaching out and wish you a good day#ask

#Been having some birthday thoughts#because if I'm left to my own devices I end up self-reflecting and navel gazing#and of course sometimes this is not a good thing but whatever I guess it's just a tradition now#I don't want this to sound like the cliché 'I'm not getting any younger'/'I'm an old man now' shit but like. I have to admit#I do have the feeling that I'm running out of time to be acting like I have been. Kinda lackadaisical like I acted in my 20s.#I do have the feeling that I need to shape up and start learning how to human adult. It's just that.#It feels like so much of it is out of my hands. I try my hardest and everything still seems to end up being harder than it maybe needs to b#I know what I need. I need a better paying job. car insurance. health insurance. a local number. a regular schedule. real days off#but those things (esp. looking for a new job) cost money time and energy I don't have right now#And what I want and what I need are at odds. I want to be able to wear a kilt to work and buy hockey cards and kiss I mean see my coworker#But maybe I need to grow the fuck up and realise that the things I want aren't more important that my physical/mental well being#Maybe I need to grow the fuck up and prioritise my needs over such childish wants#Unfortunately satisfying some of those wants are the only thing other than going to the lake that are bringing me joy right now.#I've got a lot to think about right now. And I have some difficult decisions coming up ahead#But for tonight I will celebrate my birthday and eat seafood and watch star trek and not think about tomorrow
