#we're starting out with one as a test

Put the shade up but can't extend it for at least 24 hours while the mounting tape cures (it's one of those easy lift style ones with no cords). It was designed to be cut to fit. I've measured the window twelve times over the last week. It always comes out to 46 3/4 inches. Great. Chose to cut it at 46 1/2 for ease, since it windows have wide sills on all sides. Damn thing was still too big. And no, I didn't measure wrong. Kept having to shave bits off until it fit perfectly, which was annoying and a pain, but it's in place and matches the window frame perfectly (not my intent but it's a nice added bonus). Bought my own adhesive tape since every review said what it came with won't last. Fingers crossed it holds.
#birdy tries to be a good adult#I'm hoping this will work out well because if it does I'll have to get more for the other windows#we're starting out with one as a test#it's also supposed to be a blackout shade which is going to make such a difference this summer#eventually i want to install curtain rods and put to sheer curtains for privacy on the days we have the windows open#but that's going to require convincing my partner to drill into the wall and they don't want to do that right now#maybe after we get the house fixed up a bit more they'll be more receptive to the idea#i usually have to suggest it several times over a year and let it sink in before they'll start considering it#or if not they'll find a different solution that I'll go along with#currently just being a lump in the kitchen trying to hydrate before i go up and install more drawers#it's going to be another hot day and my working time is short so i need to get my ass in gear

does anyone know if we have to roll that rock up the hill again tomorrow
#so to recap what we all know if we're following the Angela is Sickly series#i can't eat tree nuts. i can't eat trail mix that has come in contact with tree nuts. i am uneasy about eating anything that has been in a#facility with tree nuts because i have had allergic reactions just as severe from cross-contamination as i have had from straight up#eating walnuts. the one exception to this rule is pistachios because i have yet to have an issue with them#i don't eat pecans anymore because i had a reaction. almonds are on thin ice i don't really eat them#also. also i dislike nuts. it's not a hard rule but i don't like them at all. i am not a picky eater they just happen to be one of the#foods i dislike they're a bad texture and they taste like wood. except for the beautiful pistachio#and then we have the alpha gal allergy so. it's not Nearly as severe in terms of life-threatening anaphylaptic response but#the trade-off is a week-long world ending stomachache. which is extremely not fun and also could at any point randomly turn into#a more severe allergy so i. sort of don't fuck with it. there are exceptions that i regret every time because ouch. no red meat.#similarly. we respond not too great to dairy. can't have a lot. can't be fixed by lactaid pills or anything because it's not lactose#intolerance it's an allergy. so. no tree nuts except pistachios. no red meat. light dairy. i am twenty pounds underweight.#my doctor told me to keep red meat in my diet if i couldn't maintain my weight and uh. Bad News i can't maintain weight but also it's a#massive trigger so what the fuck do i do here. to be allergic to some of the most caloric and fatty foods out there#tried to start up boosts and i will continue doing so but im getting stomachaches from them too. like the fuck do u do#im eating eggs and avocado and olive oil and peanut butter etc and im still losing weight. i don't ever have an appetite#gets to a point where im like Well we might end up in a fucking hospital because i keep losing weight and idk why#tests aren't showing anything other than alpha gal and minor inflammation we don't have a reason for#tomorrow i will fucking have egg and avocado and olive oil and butter and a boost and an antispasmodic and water and#i will get a stomachache again and be tired again. Onward!#i would feel so much better if i could gain weight and i can't. what do. im so tired all the time <3 15.8bmi <3

wait. wait. wait. ive been staring at ur latest comic for awhile now and i think i've noticed something about the colors? which are amazing, first of all- just gotta get that out there cuz i adore that soft pink and deep green combo
but i just realized that throughout most of the comic u use both in equal parts it seems. to separate bg + fg and such, to highlight characters/objects, etc.
but then when vash gets back to their room, all the walls are that dark green. and, bit by bit, the pink totally falls off. by the end, it's nothing but constant dark green as vash starts to cry
but then wolfwood slams in and he's backed by that soft pink. and suddenly the comic is nothing BUT pink. soft lines and whites and gentle pink tones EVERYWHERE to just. SO tastefully highlight the little details.
LIKE. WAS THIS INTENTIONAL?! i almost wanna guess that it wasn't since all those green panels w vash crying are all closeups focused on his expression so it makes sense to just put the simple green behind it and all attention on him so the pink just isn't Needed
BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE EFFECT IS SO MASTERFUL THAT I WANNA BELIEVE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INTENTIONAL
HEHE..... first of all, thank you for looking at my comic so closely, THAT'S LIKE... REALLY SWEET and a huge compliment to hear, thank u thank u
and yes, it was intentional, especially more towards the end!!! in general, the colors are meant to serve as a mood indicator, so a balance of them in a scene would just mean a neutral "okay-ness" and have a functional serve to separate background / foreground / subject matter... deep green signifies introspection or incoming sadness (especially on pg5 when vash cries), and pink signifies wolfwood, which, not an emotion but he is happiness, someone that helps vash lose his doubts in a matter of seconds -- which is why those last few pages are just pink white and lines, and the panels are gone for the majority of it. i wanted to show their unity and togetherness!
while vash still has his issues of just Not saying anything about his loneliness, his feelings are alleviated temporarily with wolfwood's presence and he's just grateful that his paranoia didn't become true, and that wolfwood is genuine, true to his word, when he means he'll be following vash/staying with him. even though it's mission-bound, vash would probably still feel guiltily comforted by that fact.
I'M GLAD IT WAS PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE IN THIS COMIC because i definitely could've pushed it more... i figured it was a minor thing that not a lot of ppl would care for, but more ppl enjoyed it and noticed the colors than i thought, so i'm glad it worked out!!!
#asks#thank you for sending this!!!#and for being so observant and putting it into words -- its really sweet!!!! hehe#ok this bit here is a bit off topic but. i forgot to mention in my original tags. very minor hc but on#p4 when i drew their beds -- ww bed is the left one vash is the right one and his blankets are all folded#bc i feel like vash would develop habits of being able to leave somewhere quickly + abruptly. so he cleans up after himself#everytime he wakes up and has to leave for the day. i feel like he's ran into enough trouble that he's grown accustom to making#sure he's ready to dip whenever necessary. and id imagine he'd leave payment if he books a room for more than a night so when he has#to leave suddenly - the room owners get their pay still. just preparing stuff in advance to not make trouble for the kind ppl#that houses him. idk its a small thing! i just recall those times in the manga where after accidentally destroying a part of the town#vash makes sure to join the clean up crew and help build things up lmfao he takes responsibility. its cute#ww sees him do this for the first time once and goes “that's stupid. we're not going anywhere and we're staying for the 2 nights”#and then he'd realize soon enough that they do have to prepare to book it at any random point of the day if vash gets caught up in trouble#regardless he doesn't fold it all up like vash does since its not habitual to him and in a way hes testing vash to NOT run off and do smth#thatll get him in trouble during the day. rare hopefulness. when they start sharing beds wolfwood doesn't let him fold up the sheets#very minor thing hc sorry for rambling in This space hub all of a sudden.#in the comic also vash gets pink bg panels every time he calls out to wolfwood. happy happy#it's really not a long enough comic to push those aspects... but im glad it was noticed at all -- but ok ok im done done

Good morning Vivid Bad Squad it seems like something has happened
#i don't. mind the fact we're getting back to back lims since. they're cards at the end of the day#that aside oh we're doing it NOW now. i can work with this#i am actually really excited for this. because i am all for what vbs would do after rw#and i definitely need to read wl/fc/wtwg now. like right now. i need to be able to read this event as it comes out#this is like the big one. lutf and wtwg were also the big ones but this is the BIG BIG one#and this means these kids can start to grow out of dedicating it all to one event. it means they can realize who they want to be#eh idk. i suppose it makes sense why some are mad it is happening now but it makes sense seeing how there isn't much else they can do with -#rad weekend as it is. like they have found why it happened their resolve has been tested they have been given things to work on#this event i feel will be what brings the fire back to vivid street. and then the rest will become them carving their own path through it#and since arata is still not exactly back (and from this may not be there) well.. i can see them going into that in the next few events)#bagel's rambles#now i am even more convinced kohane's assignment has to do with bringing the emotions of the singer and audience into her voice#to replicate what happened at crawl green. i'm excited for that#and now it makes sense why giga is doing the comm

Okay okay so. Thinking.
I've mapped out how I want to pay off my credit cards, which means I'll only be getting new stuff pretty sporadically, which means I need to appreciate the zero cost things in my life, like:
- the 2.5 foot tall stack of unread books I have
- the violin I might finally actually pick up again
- the 500+ drawing prompts I've been hoarding
- the list of anime I still need to watch
- the 3000+ songs in my watch later playlist
- the stickers I've been neglecting to cut
- yarn??? I have a lot of yarn
- all the pink fabric leftover from moth cosplay
- the candles and incense I also already have
In short, time to actually use the stuff that I have 😭
#though. i do want one more candle. they're putting minty smells in the winter ones and it smells cold#i need a cold smelling candle that is warm and on fire i just need that very strange contrast#but yeah!! will spend a little testing out acrylic charms but for the most part#we're gonna hang out at home for a while and express gratitude or whatever lmao#okay but i think it will actually be nice to start getting through all those books skjfkdkd#and to watch the bigger name anime to actually see them lmao; saw a lot at the con i recognized but hadn't actually watched#and also my music!! all my music bc i am clinically insane about music; miku playlist advancement...#this isn't even touching on the games i have now ksjfkf if either of you are reading this 👀 i still wanna get yall something#and I'm planning the exact day i wanna do it 😤#but yeah I'm thinking it over and am like. oh boy time for self improvement skjdkfkf#also finances will get easier bc im not ubering all over and I'm not seeing docs for my stomach now that the ulcer has been resolved#i made back half of what i spent getting the car in only 4 months and that feels good to see#it's still gonna be some hard work but we're gonna make it; I'm also highballing one of the cards#the hotel put a damages hold on my card and my math factors that in; they said that money would go back to me in 5 or so#business days so that'll be a little less to be concerned with; I'll still try to pay what numbers i found though#do it faster and do it better and idk what the fuck I'll do with the cards bc. 30% apr...........#idk i could get groceries with them and then pay them off? take that credit score you'll just eat that shit up won't you..#surprisingly my credit score hasn't taken any super ugly hits from this and i aim to keep it that way lmao#anyways. that's a lot of words to say that i want to actually use my stuff lmao#shai speaks

me and my friends were hanging around an ice cream shop waiting for all of us to get our orders (had to be actively made in a certain way so it was like a 5-10 min wait) and while we were talking one of them joked about how they want to be a trophy wife when they grow up and my girlfriend turned to me and said “you should be a trophy wife to me” and i said okay ^_^ and my other friend was like “no i wouldn’t want a trophy wife because aren’t they just supposed to sit around and look pretty all day” and my girlfriend cupped my face and said “look at her!” Anyway i am no longer a self declared cold hearted bitch and romance has made me soft thank you for coming to my ted talk
#this sounds stupid but i didn't realize my girlfriend found me pretty so it was like#feel giggly about it like !!!!HEHEEEHEHEHE#we also cuddled a lot today which i think means we're becoming a PDA couple#but in our defense i also cuddle and hold hands and hug and flirt with literally every one of my friends#like yesterday i was multitasking taking a test while my friend held my hand and arm in his#and i sat in my other friend's lap today so this is all like par for the course#which is why i think my friend group is very normal about me and my gf dating within it#because we're kinda just like that TM#also i did date another person in the friend group at the start of the year but that was before we became more cohesive#needless to say i've figured some things out socially with it#but yeah. girlfriend

^ live footage of me rn
#friday chats#tw vent#not like a super terrible vent or anything i'm just. tired. and mad at myself.#so like a couple weeks ago i was given an assignment for my british lit class right?#to write a research essay based on one of the texts we've studied this unit. two weeks to do it. easy peasy. sure.#i figure that's plenty of time and leave it to work on my other homework (bc there's always other homework i'm an honors student)#oh wow lookie there it's due this weekend! great! so i start work on it#and then i can't find any research to bolster the question i'd formulated. it would have just been my own analysis#and we're required to have four sources. so that's that out the window.#the weekend passes and i'm officially in ''late assignment'' territory#and it's the last week before spring break so i'm swamped w/other work and midterm tests and everything#so yesterday my friend and i call to work on ours together (we always proofread each other's stuff/give each other pointers and whatnot)#and i'm just lost on what my essay should be about. any sort of question i could explore.#she has something of an idea for hers but not much. so neither of us get ours done#the assignment fully closes tonight#so we try again. i manage a half-hearted intro paragraph with zero direction and one source#and then i just hit a wall. the sources i'm looking at don't give me any new insights or ideas and i've got nothing#with two hours to the deadline. so i'm thoroughly fucked#i keep trying and just. yeah no not a thing. and if you notice the timestamp on this post it's past 12am#guess who didn't finish his essay 🙃#this is the fucking SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. what the FUCK#fanTASTIC start to my spring break y'all. and the only way i can communicate the specific feeling i'm feeling is through a homestuck gif.#can i just sink into the earth. that'd be great#at least now that it's over i don't have to worry about it anymore. i mean there's the guilt obviously but i don't have to *worry*#God. my mom's gonna be pissed#if i follow this train of thought any further it's gonna fall down a spiral of responsibility and college and career stuff#and i don't want to deal with that right now#so i'm just gonna stop talking. and either go read an angsty fic and cry for catharsis or just go to sleep. we'll see#i hate getting all personal on the internet but i'd rather yell to the void than bottle it up so. here we are

today has been a really long and incredibly stressful day and my dad's okay now, but my mom had to take him to the ER tonight because he's been having some issues and needed to get checked out and he also fell today so they went and did that
as soon as they get back and were trying to get into the house i guess the last of my dad's energy just gave out and he just kinda sunk down to his knees and then slowly slid onto the floor and neither of us could get him up
we tried to help him grab onto his wheelchair and work with him but he just couldn't do it and neither of us were strong enough to lift him without making things worse
our family friend is out of town and my mom tried calling another friend but nobody was able to come so we had EMS come out and thankfully two guys were able to lift him into his chair and help us get him into bed and settled
he's finally resting after a long, long fucking day and my mom's going to take off work tomorrow so she can be with him
i am...beyond exhausted so i am also going to go to sleep and hope to god tomorrow's a better day
#he got a new oxygen machine recently and we're wondering if maybe the level is too high now#she's going to talk to one of his doctors tomorrow and see what he says#but with his condition and everything it's possible that's what's the cause is because ever since we got that thing#it's like he's been going downhill where he had just started to make a turn around#and they did a bunch of lab work and stuff on him tested him for covid and everything and he's not sick#but he's just been acting bizarre lately and then everything today#he also slept a lot yesterday almost like he was in a coma#i kept checking on him and even tried to wake him up a few times#because at that point i was worried he wouldn't sleep through the night and i know that throws him off#but he was dead asleep and normally he's not like that#so i dunno#all i know is i've been scared out of my fucking wits multiple times today#and have cried a shit ton#and just...yeah#oh also when they went to the er i stayed behind to hold down the fort and take care of the pupper#so i thought okay let me go get in the pool for a little bit to decompress and calm down#should be fine it's been sunny all day long#wouldn't ya know it a fucking storm started blowing in right as i got in the water#but that's fine#i got in for a few minutes at least and that helped#and now i'm gonna sleep and that'll help too#and tomorrow's going to be a different fucking day than this one and that's all i can ask for

a moment abt overhalliday if you dont mind but its in the tags bc im embarrassed sowwy..
#its like its like . sorry everything ive drawn/written up in this point is like not even kidding like maybe 2 years into the timeline#that i have in my brain#butlike in the early stages hes like . well . well hes an asshole#likehes . of the opinion that the world is always out to Get Him in a sense so hes very closed off && treats every interaction as if its an#exchange && that if he gives as minimal as possible then he doesnt potentially owe anybody anything#but at the same time deep down he cares So Much to the point that sometimes it can hurt so he runs a mechanic shop for absolutely free#bc it both helps those in need && he probably doesnt owe anybody anything . except running a shop costs $$#so he goes into the only thinghe can even see himself doing which is underground dirtywork . delivering packages w ransoms etc#he doesnt do Mercenary work per se or assassinations bc that could earn him enemies && he doesnt want enemies#at the end of the day he just wants to be left alone#he develops the healing heatgun at some point && starts being like a very respected engineer to the point that now a lott of people talk#but like everybody also talks about his bad attitude bc he just fixes you up && then tells you to gtfo#in my head if we're going into Actual Canon hed probably meet ramattrα via ram like . hiring him outright for a job#bc someone recc'd halliday && one of the points that probably intrigued him was halliday refusing to be paid for mechanic/healing jobs#the only services he wanted money on was if he was doing “other labor” && ramattrα probably wanted to test && see if this was true#&& like sure enough doing an examination at his workshop just had him to be told to leave once halliday was done#but then being asked to accompany him on a mission halliday was like “Thats where it starts costing”#etc etc etc im sorry for the long ramble in the tags .#sorry to the ppl who click “more” on the tags && get met w this#📗 my post#🎆 ramattrα#🧯 overhalliday (s/i)#<- there his special little tag

Life Update for why there hasn’t been any recent content in the past week. Also... cats! (because I doubt anyone wants to see my face. I’m sure you’d all rather see our resident Dice Dragon and Dice Goblin instead)
#life update for us#promise we're getting back into resin... just put 2 sets and chonks in the pot#as well as some elder futhark runes#we're going to start selling those...#because I am really starting to get into all of it#today was a test run to see how the new mold we have for them turned out#we've got our eye on another mold as well that is fun raven shapes for the runes#although I miscalculated on how much resin I would need and wasn't able to fill an entire row of them#but if they turn out well I know how much resin I need from now on#might also make them into pendants if people are interested#Also... one of the sets I poured today was liquid core... so here's to hoping they don't shatter in the pot\
