Wowow!! Your art!! Your style!! And you’re a hobbyist? Your work carries the feel of someone who has done this a loooong time! Just wanted to say that 💕

Aww thanks! And yup, I am indeed simply a hobbyist, this is a side gig at best for me, haha. I've been doing art for over 12 years now, and only 4 of them have been done seriously digitally. I learned almost everything I know purely from practice and looking at pieces, other than that I used a book called morpho to better understand anatomy. I never took any advanced art classes or seminars, just practice to get where I am now!

more for the garashir fairytale grab bag AU I am never going to actually write: garak knows exactly what would break his curse from the start, he just never tells anyone for the longest time b/c he's so sure it could never happen

(it's asking forgiveness, of course. he thinks it's tain's forgiveness he needs, and tain is fucking dead and knew he would be by the time garak woke up so it seems the perfect unbreakable parting fuck-you revenge curse. and garak would expect nothing less from his father than that, so he's resigned to dwindling away painfully. enter julian bashir and his fierce force-of-nature compassion (and also secret illicit immense magical powers) with a steel chair!!! to go 'OH YEAH??? we'll see about that', as you might expect. oh. OH necromancer-ish julian calling tain's ghost up to ask him about what the hell he did and how to undo it, ala his gambit to go see him the wire? and the knowledge he gains from that is what confirms garak's suspicions as to what is Up with this handsome young healer mage because it could be known only by those long dead. cue east of the sun west of the moon part of the narrative once julian understands his game is up and runs away??

anyway getting some true love's kissing in by the end of it all is just a nice bonus it's not needed like strictly magically for either of their situations lol)

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now

Me: *Gets diagnosed with autism by my therapist*

My parents: Okay :).

Also my parents: *Question and make fun of my autistic traits/stims that I used to aggressively mask but have always had because I am and have always been autistic*.

Me: 😃

I need to do edits again sometime soon or i might explode

[winter-hoof]

Also lol, my dad's wife blocked all of my family on fb and it's soooo funny she did that the week before my dad's burial. Especially when she's the whole reason it's been postponed to 9 fucking months after his death.

Y’all are being subjected to my Sims 2 tests, so there

The other set of Vargases came over for a visit and Scriabin picked up Shmee and started talking to Scriabin through him. Very normal, very usual

I downloaded some circle-glasses recolours and hghghh they look so good! Closer every day to his final details! Getting ever closer!

Edgar too! I made him a custom hair with a lighter undercut - I’m mostly happy with it, probably could’ve shifted it a shade closer to his skintone but the texturing was weird no matter what :P And his stripey shirt! I wish Body Shop didn’t have that hands-on-hips pose lol, it looks so much better in-game, but that’s all the better :)

I got some new clothes for Todd as well! As soon as I saw this ‘fit I was like “Oh that’s 100% Todd there he is.” Scriadad hug ♥ So cute

Foot-dancing together stopp it’s so cute!!

The way he looks at them stoppp <3 <3 They kept doing this right up til they left for home haha, Todd’s giggles are the cutest

Used SimPE to save him to the Body Shop, I now have infinite copies of The Boyyyy ♪

Moved him in with his “parents” as just shadow people basically, they’re not gonna matter in a bit as long as I remember how to get the Social Worker/Adoption process to work properly. Get her Todd!!

Wanna play? :D

Menacing :(

Look, Todd, your new dads are here! Initially I wasn’t sure who I wanted to adopt him, got lots of options; the first passes, the married couple with their own Todd, Johnny?? He definitely doesn’t have the facilities for a child lol But these are the ones that showed up on their own, so the married Vargases are the winners!

Scriabin cares more about him than his actual parents ;; A stranger off the street shows him more care! Not that it’s a high watermark

Look at him being a good dad!

Weh, he just wants friends ;; Poor baby

Best timeline, thank you

While we wait for CPS, let’s get some other interactions in! Nny is mean so he tended to prank the other two with a nose flick - mostly Edgar lol ♪ Now kiss

“Oh please don’t break all my bones~ :3” I love Todd looking up at them haha <3

Pffft, I think he was talking about the other Scriabin and just how attractive he is. Classic Scriabin. Alternatively, also funny to imagine him bragging himself up about how he’s just so handsome that Edgar can’t help but love him hahaha ♪

Allow me to tickle you with my KNIFE! >:D

Get a load of this guy lol

He ended up passing out at one point - I forgot which motives make CPS show up >.> - and completely 0%’d his comfort, but for some reason stargazing increased it?? It’s the same ground wh

Is two not enough to satisfy your butterfly bloodlust child?? He ended up with three, I had him release them before he was picked up by the Social Worker - success!

He rolled a new Want as soon as Todd was taken away - “Wants to see Ghost of Todd” Woah, dark! :0

And here he is on the married Vargases’ lot!! Success!! I did it right!! Heck yeah! :D Unfortunately they were uh, indisposed at the time. Good job guys pft

Goes right for Shmee, he really is Todd <3

Small Incendiary Update:

T-minus 24 hours until Chapter 10 of Incendiary drops!

I've made some dialogue edits and added additional scenes in Chapter 10 that makes this chapter bump up to 9.4k words from it's previous 8.4k, oops sorry not sorry. :) But that definitely makes this chapter tie almost neck to neck with the longest chapter in Incendiary so far, that title taken by Chapter 3 at a whopping 9.5k words!

Let this make up for the fact that I may not be releasing Chapter 11 for some time, since it's still very much in the rough draft phase of writing and I'm still writing the beginning part of it. By some time, that I'm not really sure of. It entirely depends on how soon I manage to get a new job, or not. It may be a month, it may be a few weeks. But as of right now, I'm actively writing Chapter 11 during my downtime every day!

If I have a feeling that it might take a while to release, I may drop a teaser here on tumblr for you guys to read as an early sneak peak so you aren't left completely high and dry, cause I know how that feels being a reader too. And I love all of y'all. <3 Thanks for reading this update!

can't believe I spent most of the weekend trying to get AfterEffects to track the motion on this shot's zoom-out properly (and reversed at that to hopefully improve results) so I can fix two card errors, only to give up and go to Sony Vegas and get it done over a few hours today 😩

This happens during Johan's flashback to bumping into Tom, collapsed after Giese stole his Jerry Beans Man--except for some reason, said Jerry Beans Man is still in this shot, along with... Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder?? The latter actually shows up twice earlier, and I've fixed both of those along with its appearance here (I removed it in the first one, then made it a face-down card in the second instance). The dub, somehow, thought it was Ra so Tom is lying there with a Ra here (and two Ras in the first earlier shot below [my fix on the right]), making the dub viewer question why Giese went for Jerry Beans lol. [quick edit breakdown below]

That last note aside, I took another page from the dub here and replaced Jerry Beans with Petit Angel since it seemed like it'd fit, while I replaced Hamon here with a proxy of Doron made for use back in episode 90, as an old-school card that'd probably fit here, since I included it in an earlier fix to replace a blank rectangle and it's about where it was in that shot. I ultimately used AfterEffects to slap the proxies on in the first frame, then took that into Sony Vegas, froze that single frame for the duration of the zoom-out and did some keyframing to redo the zoom-out for it--adjusted them every 15 frames or so until about frame 100-200--before masking out the fixes so they blended into the footage. After noticing there were some still frames scattered here/there, I added some more keyframes to steady the zoom-out on the card fixes, then duplicated that layer and added a gaussian blur that I faded in to make the cards slightly blurrier as the shot zooms out.

All in all, that was probably a total of 3-4 hours spread between work and after a jog earlier, and I could've probably been done with my fixes for 115 had I not still had hope AfterEffects could track it well 😭

[itspileofgoodthings]

me to Nina yesterday: explaining how due to a headache and exhaustion I wasted away the end of my afternoon just watching Ryan Gosling interviews

Nina, instantly sympathetic: and I completely understand that, a valid thing to do
