i guess ive always loved media where characters are bitches to each other for No Reason other than It's Funny........... im watching a lot of retrospective videos of thomas the tank engine, and also animal crossing. and it's like that paired to my fixation on twst right now........ im sensing there has been a pattern here all along .....

Some more of that Chai joins Vandelay for half a day AU. Or just a picture of a kinda OOC Kale chilling if you wanna gloss over those comics. I'm still not sure if the colours are too garish or not.

These were mostly done with the premise of treating Kale's office like the hideout. I also really like how mundane, or familiar, the interactions between Chai and Kale can be in the game so I wanted to draw some stuff exploring more like that. But also, there's the ulterior motive of shipping so I included an out of context scene because I can't bother drawing the rest of it (though it seems like a huge jump in their relationship as a result. I think they're so big headed that they get stuck in a feedback loop of stroking the other's ego if an excuse comes up to do so)

The reason why some in the Devil May Cry fandom refer to the Switch ports as a travesty is because the dips in frames on handheld and the input lag (I'm assuming if docked and are using a Bluetooth controller) is a few frames then playing Devil May Cry, especially the third entry as how it's meant to be played i.e, like a fighting game, is very very bad when you're comboing till kingdom come and that's how it's meant to be played.

I think i dislike the idea gen 3 synths have any noticeable mechanic parts besides the component (and probs brain tissue) due to the horror of it all existential or not.

It's almost canon that not many wastelanders know about the synth component and if they do they don't know how to get it out without killing the individual making synth hunts risky. They too think when they kill a synth they will see gears and coolant and wires and something distinctly telling them that this thing is not like them.

So imagine a group so excited cause they caught a synth, they caught a synth and plan to execute it. The synth is begging for it's life either denying that it is a synth or promising to never bother them again if they just let it go. But they don't and they line up and they fire and they are expecting grease and oil and the distinct sound of metal piercing metal but they get none of that.

They get blood and guts and lots of it. Lots more than they expected from something they didn't expect to have it.

At first, they think it's a trick of the light or lack thereof. That the liquid pouring out of the multiple new wounds they created isn't what they think. That the metallic smell is just from whatever scrap it was made of. So they poke around it more and it's sickening. There are bones and tendons. Blood and meat and it's so real but they know it was a synth.

He admitted it when they stormed into his home, the house he had welcomed them any plenty of times in they days leading up. When he was dragged through the town that he helped build and put before a kangaroo court. Even when he was begging to keep his life. To keep on living just as he was, as they were.

"But he was a synth, he..." And they realized they stopped calling him it and they realize that they didn't just kill something but someone.

There would be something in the air. They knew but did they really know? He said it but wouldn't you admit to whatever you're accused of when cornered and scared and just wanting it to stop? He was a synth but what does that mean now? Did it matter that much to do this to someone they once called a friend? Now that his insides were forced out and the only inhuman thing they found was how it happened.

But that's how it goes and they clean up even though their consciousness is anything but. They look at each other and they know they stopped another one of them from being taken and becoming like him. They know they are staring at another human and that's all that matters...

Or that's what they keep telling themselves.

ok so in the show i’m crewing right now with the theater i work for, one of our out-of-company actors that was hired is an ambulatory wheelchair user and she’s incredible and the theater and management have made it this whole production to try an accommodate her needs through the process. Which is wonderful!

But on the part of the the theater it comes of as so disingenuous to me (especially with the way they’ve been publicizing it on social media), knowing that i spent last semester crying after every rehearsal due to the way my disability was treated and i was considering quitting theater altogether. and even going into this production the way i’ve been treated has been subpar. and it makes me so angry but i can’t talk to anyone i know about it because i dont want them to think im bashing the actor when im really just pissed at theater management.

ok so!!! i revisited my work from yesterday, going in and properly blocking out the style lines and strap (still up for change as i get into better fabrics but this is a lot more representative of what they would actually look like now!) (though i am noticing ive set my hemline lower- even extending it on nora, when anne's is quite high, so ill have to see how comfortable i feel with that)

i also took a bit out of the hips on the ally pattern which definitely helped with the shape (i was really just being lazy not doing this, ive used this pattern before and had to do that, i knew it was gonna be an issue)

Theres more notes on my personal thoughts on both patterns below the cut :)

same cw's as before for body image stuff :) (maybe this is silly but i just feel far more comfortable putting warnings + a readmore for corsetry)

(also! i will be doing a post properly introducing this project soon :) ive got a lot i want to say!!)

First up! both of these patterns are by Aranea Black, pdfs of these patterns are still available online but her website is gone now)

Ally is a 6 panel corset with extreme hip spring- heres what the pattern looks like:

i do think the hip spring gives a really dramatic shape, but i do worry that with my upholstery weight faux leather, it just wont sit nicely. on this mock up i had to slit my entire seam allowance at the waist to make it not tuck too badly, and that means cutting my boning channel in half (i think, still deciding details like that) i cant really afford to waste fabric recutting panels if i sew it and it does tuck, either.

(Technically i do have the option available to me to do a twin stitch like Anne's original corset actually has, but this wouldnt be traditional, and wasnt in my plan (even if i wasnt gonna have the bones in the leather layer, i like the /look/ of felled channels on the outside.) a twin stitch however would probably negate most the tucking on the waist point, as it opens it up rather than folding to one side.)

Secondly, the one gripe i have about this pattern is that big line of wrinkles below the waist- now some of this will be from the fabric and it not being worn in, but the "daily wear" version of this corset ive made before still has some of these wrinkles even now, especially over the first hip spring panel. i know theres ways to adjust the fitting to counter the ones over the hip, but those i think are largely from the way the fabrics pulling around the curve- its covers such a large area its bound to pull a little weird in places. I really want a smooth look, a clean finish is the most important thing to me, and i worry no matter what i do they will still be there.

I will say, Ally has a lacing gap designed into the pattern, which is something i want, as Anne's corset has one, and it automatically gives you more leeway in the fit that patterns without it just dont have.

Nora on the other hand is 8 panels, with the hip spring spread across a much further space. On paper it looks much less dramatic, but theoretically should still hold a significant amount of shape, just distributed over more panels.

I guess that would be my first area of concern, that the shape just isnt quite as dramatic as the shape on Ally. i really want something quite striking for this project and though pattern modifications can be made, i was hoping to not have to do too much past simples changes.

The 8 panels also means this pattern will likely eat up more fabric. if nothing else, theres 4 extra sides of seam allowance that the other does not have (though, these pieces will nest together better, so it could end up being negligible) it is a concern however, as im working on a very tight yardage.

One of the immediate positives of this pattern however is the lack of that wrinkle band like Ally has. Since this is worn as an outer layer thats a huge point in its favour, a nice clean finish is basically the top of my requirements list.

Nora also has no lacing gap, which is an issue for the reasons mentioned above (annes costume has a lacing gap, but also lacing gaps give more leeway in the fit, allowing you to be a little tighter on some days than others.) Its possible to draft in a lacing gap relatively easily, but it is something i have to consider.

Its completely arbitrary, but i also feel like the way the strap joined onto this pattern was nicer- it lined up better with the pre existing panels and i think it'd join on as a continuous piece better. again, its extremely minor, i just think its cleaner with less fiddling on my end.

I think im still thinking the same way i was yesterday, that Nora is probably the pattern thats working better for me for this, but its still very up in the air for me. i feel like theres more pattern modifications to do there, but that its probably going to be worth doing the work? but i am definitely interested in what anyone else might think!

As someone with adhd who only got diagnosed and medicated within the last year- I highly suggest talking to your doctor. I spoke with my med doctor before ever starting to ask her how difficult it was to get the meds. She said that while the shortage is real and affecting people, she hasn't seen it happen locally yet, which made me feel safer. Your doctor probably has inside knowledge since they prescribe it to others!

It truly has been life changing for me in numerous ways, so if you're diagnosed or even just have a suspicion you're adhd, I really encourage you to go for it 💜 Regardless, best of luck!!!

aauuugghhh I knooooow but.... scary...... :') I know 'well just doing bad all of the time is better than doing good sometimes and bad other times' is very obviously flawed logic, but it's hard not to fall back on nonetheless. AND yeah I guess 'well a facebook friend who lives in the same state I do was having trouble with her son's prescription two years ago' isn't a professional assessment of the supplyline situation right now and where I actually live, lmao. Either way I suppose one upside of being a wiener about it is that if I ever do talk to a professional about this, 'I've been putting this off for years and years because I have a whole laundry list of doubts and misgivings about getting on medication' might help guard against getting marked as drug seeking kfjdghgdf

even as someone who's been into pokemon for like 15 years now yeah i get it. people act like its some kind of moral failing to still like pokemon sv?? enjoying the game and criticizing it where deserved are two things that can co-exist but also you don't have to constantly remind people who do enjoy it that its not up to snuff. we know. we are acutely aware. we are talking about kieran's character arc rn tho you can leave that for another time thanks

the point of this ask is do whatever you want my guy. block idiots who cannot help but bring up the graphics every two seconds like their life depends on it. also i very much enjoy your commentary on the games 👍

honestly it's not really this site it's mostly people on other social media who have the stalest takes on the matter ever cuz that's where the most normie and old fashioned dudebro gamers live. not even just for this topic but in general it feels like other places with more users tend to have the same dusty recycled opinions but on tumblr it's always fresh which is why i like it here. and like you're right it's very bad faith in general to assume that someone who loves a thing isn't aware of its flaws and it's also annoying when someone in an otherwise good post has to throw in a 'i know this media is bad because xyz but-' no you didn't need to say that. ok. i don't know whether it's to try to save face and try to criticize their own thing before someone else does or to be mean but it is just not necessary.

also tumblr is like the only site where you can take stories completely seriously whether it's a literary masterpiece or peppa pig or somewhere in between which is nice. you won't find character arc analysis of pokémon npcs anywhere else that's for sure. and as someone who takes everything seriously i hate when someone is like 'isn't this for eight year olds' so what. eight year olds can have nice things too. i am frolicking in the beauty of this world

After I upload the Pleasant family and their house (this week, after the sim dump is posted tonight) I want to do a build that's a little different than a suburban home or community lot as there are many of those out there.

Here are my inspo images for reference:

[xbraveheartx]

Image credit to this youtube video of the song itself

Je t'ai rencontrée simplement | I met you simply Et tu n'as rien fait pour chercher à me plaire | And you did nothing to try and please me Je t'aime pourtant | Yet I love you D'un amour ardent | With an ardent love Dont rien, je le sens, ne pourra me défaire | Of which nothing, I feel, will be able to undo me Tu seras toujours mon amante | You will always be my lover Et je crois à toi comme au bonheur suprême | And I believe in you as in supreme happiness Je te fuis parfois, mais je reviens quand même | I run away from you sometimes, but I return all the same C'est plus fort que moi, Je t'aime | It's stronger than me, I love you

Interesting how this has been made to be the ending theme for the game, and in turn, the overarching theme woven through.

sometimes in life people ask you "omg the potluck party yesterday was so fun! what dish did you like the most?", and you go, well, um, nothing, to which they make Huge Round Eyes and go "what do you MEAN nothing? you just came and sat there not eating anything?! what???" and you go well i. wasn't there, i didn't know there even was a potluck party, and they're like WHAT?? HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW and you're like um haha i mean. n-no one told me? to which they frown and say "huh. that's weird" and walk away

and you're like hm! that was a very weird interaction, feels bad, i hope it won't happen again, and then it happens again. and again. and
