Once I was scrolling thru naruto fics and saw the tag "buisnessman!Kakashi" and all I could think about was Kakashi being a child businessman, owning all the konoha adults at doing business while wearing an oversized suit and tie. That idea is so fucking funny to me.
#obito: that kakashi! hes always showing me up by getting better deals than me >:-(#also just the idea of lil child Kakashi showing up at a business meeting and sealing the deal with an outline written in adorablly childish#handwriting. written in crayon lol#call this the naruto businessman au#every ninja is a business person and it exactly parallels canon. that is my dream#sealed inside naruto is the partial spirit of the ultimate buisnessman but its too powerful and everyones afraid#fucking hashirama's face on the wall as the company founder lmao rip madara: fuck this company ur brother embarrassed my brother so bad#at deal making that he died. im gonna tear it all down. face me hashirama! deal for deal. ill become the ultimate businessman ill control#the world and put an end to all this business!#oh got its so weird like the founders waterpark au that i also keep deep in my heart#anyway this is weird wtf am i doing. procrastinating and its like almost 11 i should keep writing or go to sleep lol#but wait: 10 years ago the spirit of a ferral businessman was unleashed upon this building. there was no stopping him. his charisma was#unmatched. his expense reports! his terrible otherworldly expense reports! he was too efficient! he fired half the staff! the spirit of#that buisnessman is sealed inside of u naruto. thats why theyre so afraid of u. and then cut to naruto in an oversized buisness suit#looking shocked. aw iruka as a daycare working. cute#anyway this is fucking dystopian lol#unrelated#naruto ramblings

i understand that some drawing tablets do have different qualities like the amt of pressure levels they support but its soooo crazy how people still think that graphic tablets are a stepping stone to screen tablets, which are the "Goal"
I went looking for some info about my current tablet and if i needed to update anything to solve a small issue and found a thread asking about it with answers like "ehh its good for an art beginner but you'll be wanting to upgrade in a few months" like? says who.
#i love my tiny screenless tablet that fits perfectly on my desk why would i want something bigger and with a screen. LOL#bigger *AND more expensive. ITS THE SAME THING!!!!#sorry but this is my equivalent of brushes dont matter (even tho brushes do matter) (but this doesnt)#(in the way that you can make the same work on any tablet *of category u enjoy.)#like i can never be comfortable with screen tablets and some ppl cant get used to graphic ones thats fine#but so weird to imply that improving skill means u need to upgrade to the screen ones....hell no why would that Matter

#art#traditional art#watercolour#oc art#ocs#oc group: dave#oc: dave#was testing out a different brand of full cotton watercolour paper that was pretty affordable#(thats why you can see my entire watercolour palette to his right LOL)#i got hotpress cause i was curious and im like so mad because its so good#i think i like hot press better for smaller drawings like this like this is under 10 inches. for something like 15 inches or bigger#cold presses texture is really nice BUT for smaller stuff hot press lets the colour shine through#while the cold press papers ive tried at a small scale they tend to dull down the colours a lot and it takes way more layers to build up#hot press does seem to have funky blooming situations sometimes if you put on too much water at once (like you can see on his arm)#but isnt that the charm of watercolour now that i think about it.... i definitely leaned into it in the bg LOL#but anyway im so excited dude this paper was a DREAM to work with#i am mad tho because now i fully see the light. i understand why everyone tells me to use professional paper. but it is still. Costly#LUCKILY the stuff i got was not tooooooo expensive but still...... It Is Costly hjrkfsjkrfsd

okay but bestie I was just rereading Check Please! (another sports story with a dark-haired blue-eyed deuteragonist with a single braincell split between their sport and the bubbly, short protagonist that changes their life, would recommend 10/10) and saw this extra (https://www.tumblr.com/omgcheckplease/187802570367?source=share) and I just can't stop thinking of fukutora bc think of the possibilities!! Ain't no one on Nekoma seen Fukunaga laugh yet but Taketora just eat shit and then Fukunaga laughs Like That and oopsies someone's got a crush (but they're totally in denial about it)
BROO CHECK PLEASE ITS BEEN AGES OH MY GOD, i should reread that! Anyways you're absolutely cooking, imagine they stay late after practice one day (Tora wanted to get a couple more spikes in, Fukunaga stayed to set cause Kenma was out the door as soon as possible) and while cleaning up Tora manages to get himself tangled in the net or something. Fukunaga completely loses his shit, like hunched over tears-rolling-down-his-face kinda laughing. And at first Tora thinks he's the one going insane cause he's barely seen this guy speak, much less laugh so hard he starts wheezing (I imagine this takes place in their first year) and he's just like "huh, i'm just gonna ignore how this makes me feel." He never tells anyone cause even though he'd never admit it it's a special moment for him.
#anon thank you for feeding my demons i needed this#I think Tora would feel a weird sense of pride being the only one able to make him laugh that hard#even if its usually at his expense#Fukunaga doesn't laugh cause he's getting hurt he laughs because Tora always has the most over-the-top dramatic reactions#like he's screaming he's writhing around on the floor like a fish he's doing way too much#but thats why he likes him so whatever#go get your loser boy i guess#i haven't thought about check please in a while but its very cute and its been too long since i've given it a read through#ant's rambling tag woo#fukutora

i need people to start paying me for every time they tell me "oh but ur arts so good ur wasting ur talent u need to do it professionally" wrong i need to do art to draw beautiful characters that not a single other person cares about while feeding every ounce of love i have into my work or to convey thoughts & feelings beyond words and to even think of doing otherwise is to deny my own nature "oh but u can do what u want and then sell it" why is everything about money to you why cant u just enjoy things at what point in ur life did u forget how to have fun
#i hate that this stance is also seen as childish#like i have a full time job & often have mandatory overtime i have income already#if u need to to make ends meet then thats different do what u can to help urself live as comfortably as possible#but holy fuck pleasure as an adult is not limited to sex & money & watching tv#besides u know not a single one of the people who say this are willing to actually pay what the arts worth#its like 'well not me but other people would love it!' yeah okay u know a lot of other people are going to see the#over $100 price tag and go 'i like it but not that much! other people however' like just shut up. honestly. be quiet.#if i speed ran my art and low balled myself to a $15/hour rate the lowest would still be like $120#which is not worth it AT ALL bc i just paid MORE to sit on my ass & look at eggs#and. again. is underselling myself for both experience & time. but people think $80 full body comms are too expensive#do u think im so stupid to not expect to get scammed when even 'easy' things are over $100#but no ur right why would i have fun with something when i could instead cause myself infinite stress over it perfect thanks#do not give me advice about doing comms i do not want to do comms#if u see me doing comms im in a very dire situation. like thats a last resort for me.

Jesus fucking christ read The Lady's Handbook For Her Mysterious Illness
#she really just came out and said the driving reason why we bother to see doctors at all these days#we're getting by on microdosing 'being heard' and people tell us to be grateful to have even that#but is it really 'being heard' if what theyre sharing is one off lines. one per doctor for us to look back on and feel real?#one from our previous doctor. one from a passing female nurse. one from the cardiac nurse. one from our physio#a lot of the time the things we latch on to to 'feel heard' arent even real acknowledgements#just a lack of opposition#which is what we normally face#we latched onto our new doctor so hard because in our first (and only - so far) appointment with her#she acknowledged our pain and suffering and difficulties - from both our illnesses and our lack of treatment - three times#thats all it took for us to switch to a new more expensive doctor that we cant actually afford to see regularly#compared to the doctor we could afford to see regularly (who was so booked out we saw him once every three months - if that)#shes the first doctor we've ever been excited to actually go back to. the first doctor we've been genuinely wholeheartedly excited to see#three acknowledgements on the first appointment. thats all it took. thats all we needed to have hope in a doctor again#we actually feel like we would get regular acknowledgements from her. not just the singular one to look back on out of years of appointments#trying not to get our hopes up because we've been crushed before but its hard

I hate the idea of living in a city because I hate people and crowds and large noises and I've lived in relatively small towns (including one that was like, 200 people max and our biggest store was a Route 66 gas station) but the ability to just go to an aquarium or a zoo or a museum without needing it to be a multiple day trip would be so nice :(
#NOT fun fact: there are no zoos or aquariums in wyoming#none!#there's a couple wildlife reserves but thats not a zoo and also there is no sharks there.#nearest aquarium is in DENVER. i HATE denver#its so big and loud and STRESSFUL#and expensive dear god why is colorado so expensive#i understand why theres no aquariums here its a desert its impractical but also. arizona gets aquariums. why not us :(

those thoughts i had abt zephyr and the wanting to live vs wanting to stop fighting and saying "my name is" and your beloved going "i'll tell them your name if you die" got me so bad they overrode my aversion to the idea of marriage and this happened:
#yaz and 14 of course always them they are living long and mentally ill lives in my phones notes app#the offer of her name as also the opportunity to choose one thats not the doctor#he was telling her abt river#whichis why she says 24 years and also asks if he would marry her#'not proposing just wondering!' skdjfjfh#anyway i think im gonna give them a little shop now#do they marry? depends on if they figure out you can also change your name without marrying#wait can you? idk uk law#idk nl law either#i think you can but its fucking conplicated snd expensive#and you need a good reason so marrying might be the easiest way#he'll think abt his new name for 6 months and by that time he has a little shop so#he'll be like The Shopkeeper :)#and yaz is like. sigh. okay my love who is allergic to having a normal name

im not opposed to gay bars of course because i understand the history and significance of them, but by god we need somewhere thats just gay people and where we can have fun but that doesnt involve alcohol. i live in the suburbs i have to drive everywhere.
#angel posts#if uber were cheap as fuck then i wouldnt care at all and i go to the local gay bars more but theyre so fucking. expensive here#bc suburbs#like why is getting to X close to twenty or even more than twenty bucks HELLO?#ONE WAY?#and when i come back its another twenty something#thats forty dollars on just transporation#for me to go to a bar and spend how much on drinks..............no lol i value my wallet

hour and a half unpaid overtime I think that's a new record for me. on a day where I was supposed to have no overtime no less. funny how I only have 3 of those this month and the 2 so far I've had to work overtime anyway 👍
#i shouldve left at 4:15. killing myself at work in front of everyone#well im actually not that mad ive been listening to yhe national on loop for the last 6 hours of my shift nothing can touch me#but the disrespect....#my boss came n found me at 4pm and was like hey can u do another round of this assay (<- takes an hour and a half)#and i said no!!!! bc she already gave me too much shit to do i was busy ALL DAY and still ran over like how tf do u expect me to fit MORE#she gave me 1.5 hours to do 14 samples in this one assay where each one takes 15 mins plus 5 mins prep per sample beforehand#so like 20 mins per sample THATS 4 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES and thats assuming no repeats and no troubleshooting!!!#3x the time u scheduled for me... come tf on. i need to make a table of how to calculate how long an assay takes so she stops doing this#rly not that hard just ask me how long i need for it and ill explain it to u#and then i finished up n emailed results n went to go switch lights off in the other lab and shed left samples out for me to book in. GIRL#PLEASE EMAIL ME OR TEAMS ME DONT JUST LEAVE THEM THERE.. u know im working in the main lab ALL DAY#so im not gonna fucking see them!!!! and they need to be refrigerated!!!! next time ill just leave them out overnight and when shes like#why are these samples ruined jts expensive to get more ill be like well u didnt tell me to book them in so.#anyway she moved the other assay to friday n she was annoyed i didnt fit it in earlier but WHERE. WHERE WAS I MEANT TO FIT IT IN!!#also i have 2 separate multi hour assays booked friday already so good luck im out of the door at 4:15 if its not done its not done idc#ughhhh. if the bus is late too im going back to my work and blowing the building up#WHAT.
