Dear Red Quali Pants,
It's a sprint weekend. It's a Friday quali. Sooooo, you know what this means right? It means you give Charles a very good quali. And hopefully help in him achieving a podium this weekend.
So far, he’s gotten 3/3 podium during sprint weekend. Do not. And I mean it. DO NOT ruin his streak of only getting podiums this season during sprint weekends. Well, this is warning for you and the red team whose name I shall not say for they get jinxed pretty easily (idk why and how they do that but they’re very easy to jinx)
Anyways love you Red Quali Pants. I have never said a bad thing about you. Ever. And I plan not to in the near future. But if you don’t give me a Lestappen podium, it might change.
Sincerely yours.
P.S. you look very pretty on him. You are the man, red quali pants! ❤️🔥
#it’s tradition for him to get podium during sprint weekend#red pants are traditions and so is getting podium during sprint weekend#we do not break traditions#friday is actually the correct day to wear red pants#manifesting a good weekend for charlie#prayer circle is open#charles leclerc#max verstappen#lestappen#f1#please sprint weekend gods give me a lestappen podium#qatar gp 2023

Genuinely hating the fact that people have to look really closely at art to see whether it's AI or not and like, zooming in and pointing out the little bits that don't match.
Because like, it's really fucking hard for me to calm down on obsessive details and trying to make everything perfect and make sense, to make sure that every lock of hair has an invisible follow line.
I get so bogged down in details that I ruin my art and the only thing that's been able to save me so far is to repeat to myself that no one fucking cares if this doesn't match up perfectly. But they do now. Everyone cares. We are zooming in on artworks and pointing out things that could have just been overlooked as human error.
Machine generated art means I feel like I'm not allowed to have human error any more. I have to be pixel perfect. I can't just vibe. I can't even imply.
And I think about that and become too exhausted to even start.
#there is no point to this#theres nothing i think we can even do#the cat is out of the bag and we now live in an era of computer generated art#yes this is about the mtg ai art scandal#the zoom in just makes me feel like we have reached the death of digital art#a little bit of nonsense stutter texture on a dial#and a bit of somethign that doesnt line up in the background#stuff that ive specifically stopped myself from fixing in my own art in the past#in order to try and break free of toxic perfectionism#im just so tired#this isnt a defence of mtg#this is just me being so done#i dont think ive done a single digital painting since the ai stuff began#and i havent pposted any of my traditional media#personal

the thought of icemav celebrating christmas together makes me a bit crazy. what do they give each other???
usually nothing . That’s kind of a big deal. in the 80s/90s they’d (reluctantly) celebrate Christmas with carole and bradley (who took that shit kinda seriously) so they wouldn’t really do anything by themselves. Maybe go out for a nice clandestine dinner just cause. After Carole dies and Bradley’s papers get pulled from the academy, ice’s low key newfound interest in celebrating christmas is one of his many many ways to try and normalize relations between him & maverick and try to improve their relationship in the conspicuous absence of the rest of their family. but yes he does make an effort—as does mav—to take advantage of holiday time to be with him as often as possible so, though their schedules don’t always line up, after 2006 they spend about 3/4 xmases together
Ice has very few hobbies besides a.) lovingly working on his cars & plane and b.) reading, so he is exceptionally easy to shop for (as most hobbyless men are): nice tie pins, cufflinks, those unnecessarily expensive hardcover books about weird random topics you find in airport bookstores, fountain pens, nautical /aeronautical themed paperweights, nice leather watchbands etc. highbrow rich guy stuff
Maverick has sooooo many stupid little hobbies that each last between 4-6 months so he is ridiculously hard to shop for— “i thought you were into woodworking so i got you some tools :)!” “uh no that was in April. im trying to learn how to make wallets now” :( so mostly if ice ever gets him anything it’s usually just an expensive dinner date in the city or cash in a blank card or a blank signed check for airplane parts for the next year. Buy whatever you want idc <3
any and all gifts are given with extremely little fanfare PLEASE don’t make it a big deal… hidden around the house with a little “merry xmas!” note attached, or shoved into each others suitcases pre-leaving-for-navy-reasons, or unceremoniously dropped into one’s lap while he’s watching tv, “here you go,” “oh, this is nice, thanks!” Et cetera. love language of gifts/acts of service, but, like, very quietly.
#baby’s just making shit up now#in the mid-2010s they realize the potential of the hangar to have a >10ft xmas tree so that becomes a tradition late on in their rlnship#holy shit the ceiling is so high we could get like a 14fter in here#uhhh no my back will give out if we try to carry it in#etc etc#every place ice goes internationally he starts buying Xmas ornaments#daydreaming of Christmas with maverick#can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait :))))#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#icemav#top gun#asks#ice & mav both have undiagnosed adhd this is a hc ive had for a full fucking year now#ice can read a 400 pg book in one sitting & mav has to take breaks every five minutes when he does taxes#or something#you guys ask me for headcanons and it’s usually just ‘imagine what two really repressed guys would do’ lol#but thanks for the ask!#even after they get married it’s still the opposite of a big deal#it’s just a little smth nice :) tokens of friendship/affection either way

We left Loyalty's Meander at the same time our last guests did. Apparently, the horrible murder-cult vibes weren't enough to deter them, so now we have allies! That's nice, I guess.
Blackthorn learned to walk while we were road-tripping and I couldn't get this scene from Ice Age out of my head while I was trying to draw it so you just get the scene instead.
Thanks to the vehicle mod, it only took us eight days to get here, so here we are! I can't wait to see the ship!
hmmmmmmmm
there is... no ship
That is problematic. We'll try to mine into those mountains and see if there's a ship hidden in there somewhere, but I fear this may call for some Dev Mode intervention from Ecthuctu themselves...
Duchess now is not a good time
Curly, that is RUDE. Ecthuctu will not be impressed by this slight, mark my words... Terrible things are coming for you.

Me, startled out of tactfulness by the force of the realization: Oh god, I didn't even understand the full weight of what I was escaping by eloping. [Turns to the Favorable Instigation] Your mom, with the best intentions in the world, would have done a bridal shower.
My mom, clearly beating down an identical sense of oh god: and I would have had to help
#the two of us in a room talking about wedding shit is SO FUNNY#we have the strongest and most visceral distaste for it and we keep breaking in on ourselves like 'But it's lovely that people do it!#Not me i would sooner be torn apart by wild dogs. But SUCH a lovely tradition I'm so glad people who are far far away from me do it!'

finished hera & started lady macbeth and we have got to start blaming women for shit again for real
#this is a joke. but.#if i have to read one more retelling~ that’s just#‘but what if the woman was ASSAULTED ALL THE TIME and had NO AGENCY so everything bad she did was JUSTIFIED or a LIE???’ please stop#when you’re actively taking agency away from women written and portrayed in deeply patriachal cultures you’re not giving them a voice#youre taking the voice they had away.#women worked around and within the patriarchy while having feelings and ambitions and wants and dreams and flaws and virtues forever.#without the necessity of ‘but what if the MAN in her life was just SUPER EVIL and NOT NUANCED and she was just ASSAULTED’#what if no women wanted anything but SAFETY ever what if they were never power hungry or jealous or predatory ever themselves?#yes circe did this too if i have to see one more person say ‘oh except circe’ i will scream.#circe is literally like. the worst offender here.#pivoting back though sorry but it also all feels very bioessentialist PRESUMABLY without meaning to but ‘oh men are just inherently evil#with no nuance. nuance is for women and by nuance we mean was just super oppressed and wronged’ is uh haha actually terfy as fuck#good ol lady macunsexmeherebeth who definitely didn’t plot the whole thing to begin with for sure needs to be Given a Voice#i haven’t finished this one yet btw. i like this author’s work on the whole i just think this one is a swing and a miss because like.#this is not a woman who didn’t do anything and who didn’t have a voice.#if you want to show us her perspective in terms of her psychology and her inner workings and how she got to this place excellent wonderful#but not when the answer is just ‘but actually nothing was her fault ever!!!!!!’ like. lol let her want that crown for reasons that aren’t#my husband is abusive.#like oh my god.#same with hera you’re gonna go with the ONE tradition where she didn’t want to marry zeus#and all her rage is just about Injustice and the Patrairchy and not actual envy. okay.#she & zeus were an og most toxic couple of all time but they WERE in virtually all tradition a couple still who had times of reconciliation#and attachment.#like you know. actual toxic and abusive relationships do.#also it completely erased rhea who was actually the character whose story this more closely resembled#(warrior goddess with flop husband she finally schemes against)#instead she just. uh. went away oh no hera’s so afraid of being weak like mama she must break the cycle.#like okay this is the story you want to tell stop superimposing it on mythical entities from thousands of years ago then.#justice4rhea.#okay sorry. end rant.

hotd never fails to disappoint
#w h a t#t h e#f u c k#this fandom also really sucks :/#i’ll never understand how certain team green fans can claim to love alicent and helaena and yet unironically support the side of the war#that very much wants to continue perpetuating patriarchal violence and control#aka the very thing that’s made both these female characters so very miserable#why is it so difficult for people to understand that rhaenyra becoming queen and reigning in her own right for some good long years#would force an ideological shift and would open a discussion that had been closed for a long time in westeros#alicent has suffered from the patriarchy but she also continues the cycle w/ her treatment of her children#please just please understand that you do not have to like team black nor do you have to like team black characters#but trying to justify aegon usurping rhaenyra is nonsense and completely unjustifiable no matter how hard you try to twist the situation#and please don’t try to take some centrist ‘team smallfolk stance’ bc that stance is simply one ppl take to shift the topic away#from the patriarchy and how denying a woman her legal inheritance tore the realm apart#‘but andal tradition’ bleh ‘why should the targs be ruling’ bleh ‘the small folk suffer more’ bleh ‘the dragons are nukes’ bleh#these are all red herrings meant to divert away from the main topic & are usually used by ppl to justify their support of team green#supporting the team that wishes for the continuation of the cycle is wrong#i support team black bc this is a break in the cycle and opens a discussion that westeros has needed for thousands of years#the social change would be slow but at least there’d be change!#<-of course we know this discussion didn’t rly open bc rhaenyra didn’t have a peaceful transfer of power and later died way too early on#but even tho she died so early a character in the main books series is using the precedent she set to support her own claim!

january is finally over…
#im so tired… can the year just end already?#now that it’s feb… ig it’s time for my annual tradition of finding ways to skip cny gatherings a g a i n#‘it’s been a long time since we last saw [my name]’ my relatives say. y e a h that’s kind of the point </3#haven’t spoken to them since that time i cracked jokes at my grandma’s funeral a couple years back i think#maybe i’ll finally get back to idol sengen if i can skip this year’s cny gathering lmaoooo#but well. that depends on whether i decide to continue to read the 6.6k+ page long epub over the break instead lol#anyways yeah that very long epub is why i’ve been inactive. who has the time to pollute the interwebs when you can read instead—#some words do kinda stick out as possibly mtled but it’s still eons better than some of the official tls out there o o o p#like man. sometimes official tls are worse than the fan tls </3#especially for this certain series that frequently typoed the characters’ names. sometimes even multiple times through the same chapter#l i k e . lmao. who is ‘partytia’ supposed to be? her name is ‘bertia’—#anyways the epub is calling byebye

my job, because it’s contract work, does not include paid breaks/lunch or anything. in fact, because it’s contracted- i am not entitled to having breaks at all :)
which makes life really fun when you eat at 9am before you leave for work, and then don’t get lunch until 4:30pm. all while being hypoglycemic and told by a doctor to eat a meal every 3-4 hours
i know i could tell my subcontractor that i have medical reasons to need a lunch, but at this point i’ve pushed through so many sugar crashes and missed meals that i doubt she’d take me seriously. i at least keep candy in my car to avoid crashes now
the biggest issue, is that i ate half an hour ago. i will be cooking supper in an hour. but i am STARVING right now, my stomach feels hollow. but i don’t want to fill up on shit before i make a good meal
#ramble on exie#i would do very illegal things to be able to have a 9-5 with a lunch break#i never ever thought i’d crave a traditional work day but here we are lmao#i want the structure. but mostly i just want to be able to eat a lunch when i want to#and not be wolfing things down in the car or surviving off of candy until i can get home

Oh noooo I just realized pascha this year is on the same day as mikuexpo 😭 I can still do both but I'll be soooo tired 💔 but I refuse to miss either
#first of all i already bought the miku tickets secondly i want that lamb and tsoureki so yeah im going to both if it kills me (it might)#i clarify pascha specifically bc its not a different day than easter. tho its more or less the same thing w slightly different traditions#if it was ''regular'' easter it wouldnt matter to me bc we do not celebrate that so. it does not impact me LOL#regular in quotes obviously bc again its just a different version but ppl here generally think of the catholic easter as The easter#hence. clarifying#spring break is centered on when easter is but a week or two later we'd have Our easter (pascha) so i got more days off#to like go participate in events leading up to it. which is annoying on one hand but also on the other to me as a kid it was like#epic win. spring break 2

Currently thinking about the last time I met up with my college friends, and we went around the table reintroducing ourselves with names and pronouns, cus it gets like that. And every time it would come around to me, I would deflect and distract instead of answering because I hadn't actually figured it out yet. It's coming up on a year since then, I still have no idea what the answer would be
#Queer gang#it was literally this time last year cus it was the last time i went home for winter break that i saw them all#i panicked and got distracted the first time i was supposed to introduce myself despite the fact theyre the last people who would judge#but were a bunch of very easily distracted fckers so it wasnt even that noticeable that i hadnt answered at first#but then one of them realised id never actually introduced myself and i cant even remember how i changed the topic#but someone would always realise in the middle of someones story so id just redirect the attention to what we were already discussing#to buy myself time to think but i never actually came up with an answer and im stuck on a coach rn so my brain has all this time to think#and im just. its been a year since that incident its been several years since i started to think maybe my gender didnt entirely fit#but every time i try to figure it out like a puzzle like i did with my sexuality the first time i realise i dont really have an answer#its not that i feel that something else would fit better and i cant figure out why it doesnt feel right in the first place#is it because i was raised hyperfeminine despite growing up predominantly around brothers?#is it because tradition gender roles dont fit anyway when yoyre queer because so much of gender is tangled up in sexuality?#is it because im taking too much of a theoretical/whatever approach to it when i know gender is predominantly a social construct?#is it because its just not that deep and i dont care? or do i care and i just havent figured it out yet? idk

I could lie and say I've been trying to find some redeeming qualities in Wookshys, but I haven't. I enjoy disliking him. If he can't even figure out how to change his own shirt, I don't think he deserves to be appreciated.
However, it did almost make me sad when I noticed that the person Wookshys' considers his closest friend is the person who hates him the most in the colony. Proud of my abrasive brawler boy Irwin for not escalating things, though. Very good self-control on his part.
In other news, I am indeed blaming Wendy's insatiable trait for this particular incident. I just hope she remembers she's married before anything too dramatic happens.
I love Candlelight dearly, but she has absolutely zero self-preservation instincts. She didn't end up in hospital this time, though, so let's count that as a win.
First | Next | Previous
#rimworld#gracie plays#art#my art#traditional art#rimworld art#unpolished art#maybe Wookshys will have a mental break and leave because of the holes in his shirt#We can only hope#I do feel a litte bit of sympathy for him with the Irwin thing though#A shame that someone he likes dislikes him in turn I guess#Candlelight is driving me crazy getting into fights with Laurie every day#Maybe it's just me but I don't think getting into fistfights with the huge bodybuilder neanderthal is a good idea#She can do what she wants though#She'll learn her lesson eventually#I hope#Enjoy the art and have a magnificent day!! <3#The Animist Alliance
