fairest of the fair
#hi! im alive and back and etc.#six the musical#six the musical fanart#katherine howard#thinking of that post going 'i think eventually you become the person you needed most' and like maybe that's the thing with my art#this started out as a redraw and <improvement meme> i think i've finally reached the stage where i'm making the things that my younger self#aspired to create. like i can do this now! i've reached That level of technical skill! tiny me would be so proud. it's very gratifying#redraw from august this year actually. i've made a surprising amount of improvement HAHA maybe it was the adamandi stuff getting me#back into digital rendering. i think that obsession has quietly slipped away but yknow. one never truly leaves a fandom. just less intensit#also speaking of old fandoms! we're back with the six stuff haha. as of writing i'm in the midst of blog revamp- figuring out how to chill#multifandom status doesn't mean ditch all the old stuff ! but i do feel much freer and less stressed. i think hiatus has been good for me#notes on this piece particularly: redraw about cutting hair and thinking of the lyric above. also lowkey &j ref + pinterest poem excerpts#of female suffering. and maybe a dash of amanda heng let's walk inspo. this work is really just full of contradictions..#1. the mirror and cutting hair as an act of self liberation 2. the & is part of the lyric but also a nod to &j (in another iteration it was#pink but the white looked better) and like. &j is really all !!! girl power!!! etc. and i was like hmmmm. also matching pink shiny aes#3. the frame as a cage; the mirror as a self reflection idea (ie. saville's propped insp) but also as a sign of vanity. 4. sparkly costume#and pretty pose- read one too many poems about women feeling like they have to be pretty even in their suffering. something i wanted to#explore. and also in 5. the show itself... all you wanna do is. despite all the dancing and pink and sparkly the content of the song is#darker. and even though it's a story of her suffering it's still presented as a shiny fun pop song and ajshdhfhfh ok... 6. the lyrics fall#outside the frame. sort of a caught inbetween. sort of a trapped in the narrative and yet#within the frame it's all. vaguely handwavy breaking free vibes. like i said contradictions?#7. cutting off the long ponytail vs the pull my hair lyric at the end. yeah#8. the blocked off & looks a bit like scissors. positioned to cut right at the neck#anyways yeah irl remains hectic! but if i get around to more doodles they'll appear here :)

Sky: Children of the Light (1993)
#sky children of the light#that sky game#sky cotl#pixel art#gameboy#I did RESEARCH FOR THIS#I tried to redo the sky kid there before I realized their 'scruffy' pixels made them look closer in frame and I liked it#I also cheated because the Gameboy palette only has 4 colors#But I really wanted to use the white to make the title pop#I also watched a fuckton of tutorials lol#traditional pixel art isnt something I do do it was a pretty big learning curve#I also wondered what the game play for a Sky gameboy game would be#I kinda thought like poppin twinbee or smth but Sky isn't really a top-down#Someone said Kirby and that probably works better

I'm 100% serious when I say that if anyone buys the Cutie Breeze quilting frame for me, I'll make a quilt for them equal to the amount they paid for it. It's on my Throne list. This thing will make it possible for me to machine quilt using my regular machine while treating it like a longarm machine. I'll be finishing soooooo many quilts, and they'll be less expensive because it's done on a machine and take significantly less time than what handquilting involves.
I'll need to practice before I'm comfortable selling what I finish, so those quilts I make will be at a discounted price.
There's a very real possibility I have EDS. Even if I don't, I live with chronic wrist pain in both wrists, and tendonitis in my left hand and thumb. This device will serve as an accommodation for these issues.
As of posting this, there are three still available. They're also 40% off. This is normally $1k USD, and it's on sale for $600. You will be my hero and get a quilt in exchange for this.
Please and thank you.
#words from the artist#disability#accommodation#quiltblr#mutual aid#I had to give up drawing. calligraphy. coloring line art. writing by hand. and jewelry making due to the loss of a ligament in my right#wrist. I can't even use chopsticks now because after a couple minutes they just fall out of my hand. I have tendonitis in my left hand#and recently diagnosed with hypermobile joints. apparently I shouldn't be able to bend my fingers the way I do? The last joint on my thumbs#bends back to an almost 90 degree angle. this isn't normal. My fingers also bend really far back. my kneecaps like to dislocated. and my#thighs like to pop out. No one ever suggested it might be hypermobile joints. with this device I won't be putting so much strain#on my hands back wrists elbows or shoulders like I do when handquilting. I still need to be fitted for ring splints because my fingers#and thumbs need the support and stability but this frame will make a world of difference for me.

I think the thing that's fucking with my brain the most is the separation of fact and fiction because it's like... we spent years being told that Bray was this unkillable character that would always come back no matter what, and now it's just like...I have to remind myself that in reality he was just a normal guy, it's weird.
It's..... yeah.
Okay - I'm gonna get real wordy and wax poetically and I'm so sorry I'm incapable of just talking and crying like a normal person.
It's like a big old layered burrito of denial on all fronts, right?
Because on the surface, we have a guy who was so young, and that seems so hard to get past in itself. We also have the fact that he was prone to injury at points and disappearing for... months at a time. He had been released and came back, what, a year later? In the meantime there were always a billion headlines with his name, speculating the worst, and it never had any accuracy or mattered. We were always *looking forward* to him returning and he always inevitably did because he had half his career ahead of him still and it always seemed like the best was to come.
And we have all these stories of what a beautiful person he was, a side we roughly knew of but never got to really experience ourselves as an audience.
But the person we saw was, as you said, this unkillable character. Literally unkillable. He told us from day one he could never die and would persist 5000 years from now when *we* were all gone. Because he was this personification of all the darkest bits of humanity and American society come to force us to face our sins. We watched him, silly as it was, get burned alive and come back a shambling heap of melting flesh and be completely restored. He was forever, he was a god, you could always find him and you could never, ever kill it.
And like, as fans, we kindle that kid in us that wants to believe in superheros and villains and we grow over the years with them. We go to events, and we sing his songs, and we thrust ourselves into that role ourselves of characters in a way. Like we were always *his*. Even if you didn't love him, you played into that for his entrance at the very least because it was such an undeniable experience. He talked and you, and every babyface, listened - whether you wanted to or not.
I'll never forget that one match on Raw, still early on, when the whole crowd was first singing "He's got the whole world in his hands" and just swaying, and then turning around and chanting "Bray is gonna kill you." Like, I remember Big E was in that match, and I'm pretty sure he was on the receiving end of that chant. He was over. He was beloved. And the whole crowd was singing hymns and calling for his demise for this literal cult leader that would speak in tongues and Exorcist walk across the ring, holding his heart and smiling with some masked sinister joy at it.
It's really really hard to reconcile he's not actually some biblical force of nature looming over everything and everyone even though we know better. And like, that fan in me that's that eternal kid in a way, is just stomping my feet screaming "but he CAN'T die!"
The end of Smackdown did, and still is, really fucking me up because I kept waiting for the lantern to go out. And like, I couldn't decide if I wanted that. Because on one hand, there's a symbolism there, and a kind of sad beauty, in the light going out. He was with us, and he's gone now, and he can rest (ahahaha I'm going to start crying again). The light fades. But ultimately I'm so glad it didn't go out because A.) I don't think I could've fucking handled it and was already bawling, and B.) It shouldn't go out. Or fade. His spirit of everything he brought to that world should stay with us and with every single performer who goes out there every night and throws their hearts into playing these characters.
And like... maybe, even though it's so hard now, maybe eventually there's comfort to be found in the idea that even though the vessel is gone - *He* will, somehow, always be there haunting us. Because "I have a thousand faces and a million names." We might not see him, but we can choose to believe every time a hero is forced to face their fears that he's there behind it - silently whispering into our ears, willing us on to indulge in every second of it.
#this is dumb maybe#i guess on a less dramatic note anon#i cant remember where it was - probably jo's instagram#there was a pic of them together and he was wearing those stupid glasses he wore in that last segment for the bobby feud#the ones with the gold side frames that look like he stole them from someones mom#like no homie really had those glasses#and i had this moment of like 'oh god he's such a fucking dad for real'#i dont think anything ever threw me through a loop more than that lmao#like 'no i need to repress this imagery immediately i can't believe the eater of worlds looks like someones quirky uncle at the bbq'#now its like im glad for that stuff and the stories and pics and videos etc because it makes me smile seeing that side of him and how he#touched so many people and made people so happy to be around#but it doesnt help the confusion of it all or make it make any more sense#and i have this awful feeling a year from now im still going to be waiting for him to pop up#feeling lonely because no one else is talking about him anymore#oh it got dramatic again im a dumbass im shutting up now

One day I might actually write an essay thing about how the reboot completely destroyed Pinky and Brain’s characters I am soooo very passionate about that subject
#Hi Johnathan 😎 I wanna play a game#compare and contrast….#also they assassinated the warners so badly too and I also might discuss them someday but Pinky and Brain are just. so much more closer#to my heart and their reboot personalities make me sooo angry#TLDR Reboot Pinky and Brain are just tropes with arms and legs and it pisses me off soooo much I swear to god#also not really a fan of how the reboot sort of frames Brain as a villain when he’s… not? he’s a good mouse who wants the best for the world#meanwhile he is megalomaniacal. doesn’t mean he’s villainous. He does get carried away with his plans at times but in the end I think he#was just heavily misguided or desperate#I mean if I was chasing after this crazy almost unachievable goal I’d get a little crazy with plans at times too#my self doubt makes me want to do a pop shove it and say HOWEVER I may be remembering things wronggg take this with a grain of saltttt#who knows#if I’m wrong I’m wrong! but I think this chunk of meta has merit to it in a sense#did I just write patb meta#oh my god#WAIT TAG EDIT IM COMING BACK#Can we talk about how OUT OF CHARACTER Brain tampering with Julia and making her.. Julia (lol) is??#I’m so sure that Brain wouldn’t ever do that?? I remember he wanted to save Billie from being shocked by the scientists. he was so#frantic about it and genuinely cared about her well-being. And the way he mentions his past in both the reboot and the original kind#of tells us that he’s obviously disturbed by what has been done to him#I don’t think he would want to inflict that same pain onto someone else#and yes he does use Pinky to test his mechanisms but I think completely genetically altering a field mouse for a singular plan and#then throwing that mouse away is just. not who he is??#but anyway that whole episode is a trainwreck and they could have introduced Julia in a much better way#long story short Pinky is RIGHT THERE Brain lmao

I never tried the option myself bc it'd probably mean skipping the Reason You Suck speech at the end (fire for speedrunners though) but I Love that you can frame your Phoneys in 3, especially so if you've already killed the previous two. Like yeah couldn't send you off to die so i'll let the goverment do it for me 🧸 like its just Peak evil imo.
#luly talks#i do relinquish in the pain and the agony but dont get me wrong the thought of any of them 3 getting jailed makes me SO sad#rog esp since he's the one im writing about and the biggest nerve wreck#gingi voice they'll be the last one to pick the board game for prison-game-night..........#actually yknow i wonder if rog would end up almost believing it after all when you try to gaslight him for the shits and giggles#(as in: telling HE was victim of the bite of 87 and the like) he tells you to not do that bc his brain is already scrambled or something#so there's a chance perhaps he'd believe it if he had everyone constantly accussing him of it?#not like it'd matter much i have no hopes for the dsaf justice system i know its been 35 years since jack got framed but still#i just remembered when the option popped up i said ''god im really becoming steven 😭''#first time i made the joke too was when i said ''imagine your boss sucks so bad you turn suicidal'' no clue what the context was#OH YEAH JAKE SAYING HE'D RATHER FUCKING DIE THAN KEEP WORKING HERE yeah. poor guy.#anyway im derailing my own post again uhhh. yeah. yeah i dont trust any phoney is avoiding the death sentence#dsaf#roger jones#dsaf roger#btw just for the sake of yapping longer i truly cant decide whether harry or jake would survive better in the enviroment#probably jake to be honest. I mean Harry has a lot of experience inside freddy's but he didnt really live outside it muhc#jake is so confrontational though#hey did you guys watch the hit movie felon? sure that guy wasn't framed but. i feel like jake would end up w that attitude#except for. you know. everything else that happens in the hit movie felon.#hey actually forget about this game go watch the 10/10 movie Felon from 2008 starring Val Kilmer and Stephen Dorff#because its one of my all time fave movies and probably the saddest i've seen#not bc there arent movies that are more tragic but bc no movie was able to break thru my walls of idgaf and make me cry anyway#yeah you thought i couldnt bring up my movie fixations on my different fandom posts well you were WRONG in fact#im gonna go tag my other post i left untagged yesterday bc my ass was Cooking

This may be a good and normal thing but I have absolutely zero regrets about having purchased the laptop last night. Like all day yesterday and even as I was buying I was going oh god should I should I not but now I’m not even having second thoughts about the huge display lmao
#SO FUCKING GLAD that I actually did some extra research rather than just going meh the one I looked at before is probably better#I think it was a SIGN that I got paid a little early for the month’s work and then like the day after the laptop I bought went on sale#(Didn’t actually pay immediately so I didn’t USE any of that money but that is besides the point)#Only with the reservation of man… it’s big… and heavy… and REALLY huge and that’s bad…#I HAD deep down been going ‘man if only there was a bigger laptop with the same specs as the one I wanna buy’#And then!!! This baby pops up!! With a big display and BETTER specs!!!!!!!!#Cannot begin to express my excitement at playing Real People Games like that hasn’t even been a POSSIBILITY#Stray is at the top of my list right next to ranch of rivershine#And also probably Elden Ring that shit looks NEAT#(Also yes there is a catch and a reason this one is cheaper even though it’s better! The one I was planning on getting had an OLED display#This one’s just a normal good old LCD display. But in all honesty that is ABSOLUTELY a sacrifice I’m willing to make lol)#z talks#not horse game#Also the fact it’s not currently in stock so I’ll be waiting almost 3 weeks for it also very much feels like a good thing#Like. I have a Date on which I can expect to Receive It. And that means I have a very set time frame for the stuff I want to do to prepare#(mainly organise my cloud storage to make sure everything’s where it should be)#(but that’s a bigger problem than it might sound like because I have a LOT of files)

the side effects of experiencing all this funeral stuff from this up close is honestly that im just starting to plan my own funeral in my head to entertain myself and it also kinda stopped me from being suicidal because i realised no one but me could do it right
#obv i cant kill myself now because that would completely destroy my mother but also because she'd give me catholic funeral#and that would honestly make me come back from the dead just so i could kms again#anyway the real ones will come to my funeral dressed in pink <3 and no open casket unless they really manage to make me look fabulous#i want rainbow flowers (with green carnations!) and i want it to be a met gala level fashion show dont yall dare wear boring black outfits#i want mozart to play and no catholic priests allowed. if a catholic priest tries to go near me all guests should get together to kill him#also saw a grave of some 16y/o girl apparently obsessed with h/arry p/otter today and as much as i hate HP it was AWESOME#she had a bunch of little funko pops figures there and even a hp candle#and there was obv a cross with jesus on it but he had that little ball with wings on a translucent thread tied to his hand lol#and there was also a framed picture of her and her friends goofing off and pointing their middle fingers at the camera and like. yeah#obv very sad but this is the kind of grave id like. obv not with fucking hp 💀 but i feel so fucking uncomfortable with the thought#that people might come to my grave and be all solemn and cry and make a big deal out of it like plz ffs dont#i mean obv i wouldnt be uncomfortable cause id be. well. dead. but if my funeral is boring and/or catholic then fuck this im just not dying

one of hifumi’s patrons was a fashion designer who asked him and the rest of mtr to model for her fashion show but in doppo and jakurai’s absence, wound up recruiting kuukou and saburo along the way but look what she made our boy wear lmao
#this is vee speaking#the arb chronicles#where’s that screenshot of those commenters roasting a vid alive like straight up ass bro 🔥🔥🔥#lol i understand what she was going for and i too think kuukou looks great in tunic styles!!!! the middle eastern touch is also very nice!!!#it’s just……… it’s too much and not in a cute way LOL#let ME dress him up lol just switch some of these elements around#like you made kuukou show off his arms but then not put any accessories on them??? make the swirly pattern his bracelets#kuukou’s got a lot of piercings in his ears put some of those gems there#the sun centerpiece is GREAT but i think it should be higher up on the top and add a line of gems on the bottom of the shirt#and tbh i think a stole scarf would be good too to frame the sun centerpiece and maybe add some more sun gems on it#(a v neck tunic would be fantastic but i’m just that kuukou btch unfortunately lmao)#the necklaces………………… tbqh i love them for him but the swirly pattern really makes it cluttered lol#but since they’re his bracelets now i think they can work as long as they don’t block the sun gems!!!!! and maybe change the colours lol#it could have worked!!!!!!!! it could have!!!!!!!! she literally popped of on hifumi only lmao!!!!!!#i can do saburo too dammit!!!!! put some rizz on them sleeves ma’am!!!!!!!!#c: kuukou👑

to this day i do not understand why monster was more popular than lucky one when exo released them both that one year. like lucky one sounds more unique AND the mv has a dope experimental scifi lab concept goin on. is it just the edginess of monster that made it more popular??? I don’t get it. its been years.
#im really out here bringing up exo discourse from like 2014#man boy groups don’t have weird story-based mvs and Lore as much as they used to#remember when exo had like. unique powers or some shit. it was fun#infinite’s also got some cool narrative trippy sorta mvs. but yeah exo really had some wild concepts#kibumblabs#anyway I just really liked that song and mv when it came out and I was so weirded out by monster outselling it by like a landslide#edit: was thinking about it some more and man. a song/mv like mama (by exo) could NOT have been a thing in ANY other time frame#than the specific one it was released in. so like. anything outside of around 2011-2014ish.#such a weird and unique period of time for kpop mvs (mainly talking about boy groups here)#I think it was the height of story/lore-based concept-heavy mvs if that makes sense. shit like mama by exo or error by vixx#idk I’m not saying that those sorts of mvs specifically should’ve stayed the norm or anything but I do think the standard of mvs typically#having story and/or a solid concept/theme they went all out on shouldn’t have fallen in favor of mvs that have safe mass-appeal#or emulate the mvs of western artists to try and appeal to that market more and etc etc etc#id like to call it: the btsification of the kpop industry#say what you will but I’m not wrong#the period of time where the standard started to change was the same time bts started gaining significant international attention#and if their weak concepts and safe mass appeal worked so well for them then. well. of course other agencies and whatnot are gonna try and#recreate the same formula so to speak#is it that surprising why almost all the big west-approved names are the least creative with their songs and concepts#and more similar to typical western pop artists in their mvs and song structures#anyway I got really off track I was gonna just mention how fucking wild mama is to look back on. like that was out there for the TIME so now#it’s like. jarringly obvious how something like that would never come out in the 2020s#it’s almost campy at this point. in a way#hard to describe what I mean

goal: Be Less Aggravated by the time dnd starts
#speculation nation#my morning was fine. coding lab took the whole time lol but i successfully coded with GUI!!!#last week the lab was very much them just tossing code at us to replicate but this week i had to actually figure it out#with taking inputs via JTextField & figuring out how to update that#essentially an interesting placeholder string thing but Specifically with a designated spot#i'd like to figure out how to position things better tho. i just kinda adjusted the frame size to make it line up well#bc with a wider frame it was just a MESS. but i didnt have time to learn formatting lol#but i learned inputs and how to work with the JLabels too. which is really exciting#dusting off the cobwebs with getters and setters & setting up instances of objects#but the GUI stuff is all new. bc they had us working with a uhh a thing that just kinda did all the GUI stuff for us in my last class#so i never actually learned how GUI works lol. but im learning now!!!#still very simple text boxes in a pop up window. but it is still Something.#wow i sure did just talk about my coding thing huh#BESIDES THAT i went into work for a bit to do some things. then went home and played more tales of arise.#then went to class. got pissed off. then did manager meeting. and here i am.#trying to practice... mindfulness... trying to not be super aggravated... with mixed results lol#i just need a tasty drink. maybe that will fix me.
