@americanedpsycho said: "You're wrong." two word sentence starters. | accepting.

"It does happen, on occasion." Nicole concedes with a smile, taking a sip from her drink. "No, but seriously - enlighten me? I'm not one of those people who is so precious about their opinion that they aren't open to having it changed."

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it

as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)

first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))

a few fav scenes

emotional support cwab

they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.

papery critter.

even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)

and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3

i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.

so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and

happy to have an offgun sunday show back on the docket but i can already tell this series is going to put a bee in my bonnet every week about late stage capitalism foisting its cancer upon all workplace cultures and turning things like internships from learning and exploratory opportunities to build skills and discover interests in a field, to an expectation of free/low paid but inexplicably pre-skilled labour. do you think ye olde blacksmith's apprentice showed up to the first day of the apprenticeship and the blacksmith is like "what do you mean you don't know how to shoe a horse?? that's so basic" no. the expectation of apprenticeship is that a newborn emptyheaded youngin with a vague notion that metal is cool shows up, and is taught how to blacksmith. the expectation is not that the young savant of metalwork turns up with a list of horses already shoed, including One Very Special One in the Royal Stable, and god would you please please please allow me to debase myself for you, o blacksmith? my resumé is just like the journeyman's!! this workplace culture is a modern invention!! they used to teach you things at work!!

[breathing audibly] i just think entry level should mean entry level, and that as much effort goes into gathering experience that makes people competitively hire-able, ability, opportunity, and luck also play a role. it is lucky to know your passion early enough to be able to groom yourself to competitiveness in a sharky field of work, but a person should be able to turn up for entry level positions/interning with an unabashed "i know nothing" as long as it's followed with an "and i'm ready to learn" and it is in neoliberalism's favour to allow work environments to cut their costs by eschewing the responsibility to teach. to train the trainee.

wanted to adapt the google search results a gay woman got in a japanese drama "tsukuritai onna to tabetai onna" which is good btw.

I feel like Fearne/Ashton/Braius would break kinda bad. Like, I don't think polyamory would fix any of Braius's issues and would perhaps even make them worse, lol.

I think that neither Fearne nor Ashton are particularly direct communicators when it comes to relationships, and I think Braius would be pretty unhappy being handled in the go with the flow vibes based way they've handled their own relationship. And on their end, Braius has known the Hells for all of a week and is getting matching tattoos and declaring how he doesn't want to be anywhere else in the world than with them-- this man is clingy. I don't get the sense he'd be controlling or anything, but I think he'd want a lot of their time and attention in a way that would probably grate on Ash and Fearne even split between the two of them.

Ok so...! Call done!

I am getting a new medication!! (thank fucking hell)

So this may lead to me getting my ass knocked out again of course... but since the last one was a bust I'd be fucked either way you know? Might as well aim for the chance of improvement instead! Doctor was completely on-board with changing what I took.

She also praised me for reading up on the medications and how it could take trying several different ones to find a match.

She was also super chill with fixing the error in my medical journal. No problems. Was a misunderstanding on her part. She was also very nice about the whole thing with my pronouns in the journal. And I have to give her praise for noticing my (... what should I call it... people pleasing tendencies perhaps?) ,where I try to go with the softer option to make it easier for others? Cause she said using "hen" (swedish gender neutral pronoun) would perhaps cause less issues with people writing the wrong pronoun in the journal later. She noticed I was doing this and was like "But I can hear on you that you'd like to it to be he" , which i admitted was correct. So she added some general observation thingy to my journal that it should be he. Made no big deal about it either.

I will say... I am liking this doctor. She's so nice to me? I feel like she isn't at all like a lot of doctors I've had where they acted like their word is basically law and how dare you even suggest they may have misunderstood you or that they may be wrong about something? Like she seems completely open to discussion of the meds and any issues I may have. She's very kind about everything and just seems to actually listen to me? Very reassuring too. And since she caught the thing I was doing, observant. (in a very good way!)

God I do hope this is a doctor I can keep and that it keeps rolling along this smoothly... cause it's fucking wild to me to have a doctor actually treat me like a person. May it just keep going this well, please!

But yeah, all in all it seems to me like it was a good call and I'm super happy to be off these pills AT ONCE after the call 💖 HELL YEAH FUCK THE MEDS!!!!

[icewindandboringhorror]

The evil slow creep of it being like "haha these will just be quick little side quests, not much effort at all!" and then noticing each one is getting progressively longer than the last, thus no longer being minimal effort.. auGh....

[moralchampion]

I'm starting to actually feel better, so now I'm even more worried about my exam tomorrow

Always think it's very funny when swiss law textbooks start dissing the us legal system for no reason in particular. i'd call it vagueing on main but there is Nothing vague about it

Yknow little women is very. Protestant. It's subtle, but so subtle that it's kinda uncanny to me ngl

Seeking an adhd diagnosis is like "bring someone from your childhood, someone from your adulthood, your 3 most recent report cards, $500, and your firstborn to an appointment you had to call the same practice 5 separate times to be given after following a breadcrumb trail of referring providers. you may or may not receive the diagnosis"

I keep having dreams about an Earthbound 64 prototype getting leaked. Shit lives in my mind rent free.

[icewindandboringhorror]

Recent ones of these even though they all look the same lol.. forcing myself to document progress..

[avvocarlo]

like I'm not even sure what it is but across so many work industries it's always the grunt level worker who is to blame apparently. any excuse in the book to counter what you say or did. you feel like you're going nuts, I'm reasonably reflective and can see where something went wrong or where I can do better. does this make any sense?
