#// good advice right here
Text
Hey, real talk for a second, I'm considering not uploading anymore and only turning this is to a reblog only account because of the AI choices from Tumblr. I truthfully feel incredibly guilty that, even though I was crediting the artists and linking everything, I was still submitting their work to be used for AI thru Tumblr and that is not fair to the artists that worked incredibly hard on their art. I'm gonna try and do a bit more research before I make a final choice in the matter but I want to thank everyone for thier kindness the past couple of years and im grateful a small community spawned on discord!
I'll update this post when I think I've figured everything out and any artist out there please give me any advice on how you would handle this situation please! My options right now are to delete all the pictures I've uploaded or maybe nuke the blog entirely? I'm not sure but again, I'm grateful for everyone's kindness and I hope we can keep being kind together.
#im going thru a massive depressive episode so im gonna try and think rationally but right now my brain just says delete everything#i already quit the discord a few days ago when i was having an episode but now i really feel ive done more harm than good here#idk its not my art and that's always been the rule so im gonna go thru a bunch of artists pages and see if they have any advice

Hello! I was wondering if you’d be willing to take commissions someday 👀. No pressure tho! I just love your art so much
The short answer: "not at the moment, but it is very possible in the future'!
The slightly longer answer: I would have to figure out a good pricing and payment system! PD-MDZS is also where most of my free time goes, so until my life settles down a bit, I would be on the slow side to complete them.
#Ask#Even longer answer: I technically do - but it's been people I know irl asking and handing me physical money/bank transfers.#I'm working on one right now but the tricky part with pricing is that they want the physical copy of it - which is different to online comm#Fun fact: I have gotten a fair amount of commissions from a local hobbiest quilting club.#They show me their pintrest inspiration board and tell me size specifications and I draw out patterns on parchment paper.#I am probably being undervalued by a group of 50-60 year old women but they call me handsome and say I'm doing a good job so...#There was also someone a while back who asked about a tattoo design and I was *so* enthusiastic but I just got too busy to commit.#I truly do appreciate people asking - It is *extremely* flattering that you like my art enough to want to commission something!#I will re-examine my situation in a few months! Someday really is the keyword here; I think I'd have a lot of fun with it!#(All the money would go back into buying more artbooks and supplies too! What a dream!)#Through this blog I've gotten to know a few people who do commissions for a living who I will probably pester for pricing advice#Time really is the only barrier for me right now B*(

it’s all the rest of what i want with you
connor dewar/brandon duhaime :: 8k
Summary:
“Brandon,” Connor says with a sigh. “There’s no baby in there.”
“Not yet,” Brandon says. Connor feels his stomach twist, almost like what he would imagine a baby kicking to feel like.

when sonic 3 comes out i will be so insufferable. because it is the one hyperfixation i've had where my friends are actually willing to watch it. if you think i'm throwing this opportunity away you're sorely mistaken. sonic 3 will be my roman empire
#sonic 3#sonic movie 3#sonic the hedgehog#stobotnik#side note#how do yall convince your friends to watch things#i've been trying to get some of my friends to watch good omens because i know it's right up their alley#but they refuse every time#i don't wanna be annoying#but i'm at the end of my rope here#if you have any advice#i will gladly take it

i learned the grade for my phd thesis today (it's v good! i'm v happy!) & my supervisor took that as occasion to sit down with me and talk about The Future for a bit, and she clearly cares and i'm thankful for her, but the sheer ivory tower out-of-touch-ness of academics will never stop baffling me. like they'll ask you about your new job (admin & public service), and you tell them you're enjoying it and loving all the mental space it's freed up, and they'll be like cool! but you are looking for something better, right?
and it's like. no. i'm really super not. i understand that professors look down on this kind of work, which is one thing, they're snobs, i can't change that. but to not take someone's word for it when they say they find their job fulfilling and rewarding is kind of. ungenerous? not to mention condescending? like please don't call a less mentally taxing job a "waste of potential" when it was working in academia that stopped me from producing literally any writing i cared about or felt proud of for nearly four years
#if there IS any potential still to be reached i'm not reaching it in limited contracts worrying about whether i'll have a job next year lol#anyway i'm here to say if you're on the fence about whether to stay in academia.#do not do it. it really doesn't get easier from here on out in fact it'll probably get harder#and i know it feels good to be encouraged. and you want to do right by people who have faith in you. but god#i'm so tired of wealthy tenured profs who have 2 years to retirement thinking they can give advice without understanding our realities#ma'am no one is funding the humanities anymore. ma'am my friend recently applied for a postdoc position with 200+ applicants. ma'am

some funny snippets of a tentative timeline for the reverse gondolin au
#silm#silmarillion#not art#reverse gondolin au#Gondolin-born Prince Elrond is a bit more active in numenorean politics#primarily attempting to keep them from self-destructing#numenor still Falls after sauron establishes his weird morgoth death cult#because having numenor around in the TA means there wouldn't be a war of the ring in the first place#but like 60% of them are still Faithful#they establish themselves in Imladris under Tar-Miriel & Elrond (Tar-hanotur? Tar-airatur?) btw#Prince Elrond is quite fascinating to write#also yes annatar is literally booted out under lomions advice#celebrimbor still struggles with his overly-trustingness#luckily for everyone lomion has no such reservations#lomion: tyelpe i know you dont trust yourself on this but. you trust me right#tyelpe: of course#lomion: okay then somethings up with that guy. get him out of your house asap#tyelpe: thanks will do#debating whether to kill off celebrimbor here? if he does die it would be in battle next to lomion so sauron doesnt learn of the Seven#also this tyelpe & lomion have been actively using the Three in battle since FA 500something#they're pretty experienced at the magical siege warfare stuff#so maybe celebrimbor makes it out alive but injured?#okay imagine a white council w assorted wizards; galadriel; cirdan; elrond; the numenorean king in imladris; lomion; and celebrimbor#i feel like lomion and tyelpe balance each other out well enough (lomion is still quite pragmatic but less actively distrusting than maegli#and tyelpe is constantly making an effort to be Wise and Understanding#he doesn't trust himself on big decisions bc of the whole feanorion baggage. but he does trust his bff lomion#so their dynamic is kind of like 'tyelpe has a Good Idea; lomion Validates his Good Conscience and figures out how to execute it'#btwn making the Three a few centuries ahead of schedule and them balancing each other out galadriel-and-celeborn-style they're kind of op#idk how sauron amasses that much power in the SA/TA of the au-verse

I didn't really realize how de-regulated I'd gotten until I starting to come out of it a bit, like it's just tip-of-the-iceberg stuff these last few weeks but *man*
I think also part of it is just, it's really hard to explain to people who don't just kinda naturally struggle with the same thing? Like it's not just "oh I need a better sleep schedule," but more like "if I don't have a binge night til like 4am 1-2x a week then I start to overheat like an old computer" and that just don't translate well, esp when it's like...yes, I know about every other coping strategy thank you, yes I've employed them, yes I know how habits are built, yes I've seen the therapist, yes yep uh-huh--
But when things start to be calm and it's easier to sit down and work on things and the brain noise starts to flatten, it's just like...huh. Y'know, it's not too late, but I'm tired and I think I'd rather go to bed. And like everything in life kinda has to change for that sometimes, but it's weird how easy it is once it does
#the joys of late diagnosed neurodivergency#I mean there's a lot of pop psychology on social media now about that but there's always been a lot of pop psychology#ppl been complaining here about misinfo on tiktok and it's like...bro It's Always Been Misinfo Everywhere#how easily we forget#tumblr was godawful about that stuff for the longest time I Remember#but...the info that's good has been Very Useful#and the personal advice from ppls experiences has been quite helpful#with the right amount of skepticism ofc#blarg

wow ok i am now squarely in the target demographic for Chatelaine Magazine but their content is so great i'm not even mad about it, is this what it feels like to know middle age is fast encroaching?
#a very specific experience for a canadian in her thirties perhaps#chatelaine is mostly a magazine about cooking and homes and stuff#but it has always had a minorly subversive edge#in the 50s they were publishing articles like 'women: stop faking orgasms! it is bad for you and your husband!'#which is not a take you expect from a 1950s women's magazine#here in the 2020s they are one of the few mainstream media sources i've seen that has published anti-0zemp!c pieces#so you know#like i said#i am not mad#their reviews about like the best frozen pizza or the best jarred marinara sauce are RIGHT#their recipes are GOOD#their advice about whether you should install a heat pump is HELPFUL#and their opinions on women's issues are generally REASONABLE#but i do also feel slightly old

let NOT normalize dumping in your fav tumblr blogs inboxes (hope you're doing well n0phis)
VOUCH! thank u eli birdfeet i am doing well! how are you?
theres a fine line between enthusiasm or sharing something cool, and putting a lot of heavy stuff on someone’s plate thru the ask box feature. u guys all deserve shoulders to lean on but at the end of the day im just a silly little block artist! i have no idea ever what is happening in any capacity
#tham talks#im too brainrotted to be a good source of advice#but even if i wasnt still dont traumadump! have healthy boundaries online#not about anyone in particular ive never gotten much traumadumping here#but regardless eli is right

💎💎💎 you can pick whoever you want out of my ocs! only if you want to tho no pressure <3
Of course I want!! I chose Oleander because Sparrow's view of him would be the most interesting I think.
--
Sparrow goes still. "Oleander is...strange. Dangerous. His views of the world should be respected, but..." She drifts off, turning silent in thought as she deliberates her words. When she speaks again, her voice is nearly inaudible. "There are times when it's hard to even understand what the sense of wrongness about him comes from. He can be kind; kinder than most, even. There is something deeply appealing about the kind of love he promises...all-encompassing, never-ending...but the rot underneath cannot be ignored. It should not be. Not all loves are healthy. And it is better to not have love at all when that is what is offered, surely."
Abruptly, she clears her throat and straightens in her chair. "I cannot deny I see why people are drawn to him. But I would recommend anyone interacting with him do so with caution."
#sparrow 100% recognizes that in universes where she's not kc there's a high chance she's taken in by ollie#and that terrifies her#half of the advice she's giving here is stuff she's said to herself to remind herself that ollie's not good news#cassy answers#angrygoatwoman#very short sparrow opinions of additional ocs are:#ven: reckless and out of control. needs to take things seriously. sparrow is deeply annoyed by her#shana: shithead. get fucked. sparrow sees right through him and hates him#sol: offput by their rage. would probably avoid spending any time near them at all--the zealotry and anger are not a good combo for her#oc: sparrow#oc: oleander#pwotr pals

tw for gore and cannibalism and igraine being a terrible parental figure
"Rosemary honey, don't be scared."
Rosemary's hands are covered in powder and where there isn't powder there is a mold and where there is mold there is blood. Her aunts breathing had become rhythmic, like a slow tempo metronome; there had been a plant five meters away from her but when Rosemary turned her head the vase kissed the tip of her nose.
"Rosemary," Her aunt said tenderly, and when she looked there was a hand reaching towards her, "It's okay to be in shock, sweetheart."
Rosemary swallowed and crawled slowly. She could hear the snarls still, filling the hall and the room. A continuous noise like between growling and swallowing.
She looked up higher; Alcina snarled down at her.
"—t me, darling."
Rosemary clung to her aunts arm, rubbing her eyes furiously. Her aunt had shoved her aside and laid pinned beneath Rosemary's Frankenstein; the skin from her neck to her armpit had been peeled back and the bulk of her— the meat and the bones— were tearing under terrible snapping teeth.
"Oh sweetheart," Igraine garbled, Alcina's teeth biting down hard on her larynx and through several vocal chords. She wiped Rosemary's eyes with her free hand gently. "There is nothing to be scared of."
Rosemary sobbed softly, "This is scary."
Her aunt moved her head, grunting with pain, and pulled Rosemary into her unbloodied side to cradle her, "Armillaria this is normal."
Rosemary buried her face in deeper, and covered her ears so she couldn't hear the horrible happy feasting.
Igraine held her closer, "I know it's a little scary, darling, but theres nothing wrong with a little cannibalism, okay?"
#my writing#igraine wesker#rosemary winters#tw gore#gore tw#a little something for the forbidden happy end fic#lady dimitrescu is also here!#please do not take anything igraine says as good advice she is literally not right in the head#drabble

Have you ever felt like a piece of yourself is missing? And it’s that one singular piece that’s needed to complete the puzzle but you can’t find it. That’s how I feel right about now. Both maternal grandma and grandpa are long dead, and I know I have a couple more sets of cousins from my maternal grandfather(he was 22 when he got my grandma(who was 16) pregnant. So assuming he carried on to impregnate more women, I probably have a couple more cousins. In fact, I’ve seen one of my mom’s half siblings before(she just didn’t tell the lady they were sisters since she was working at a ticket booth).
It just feels like I’m constantly looking out into the world hoping something will help me find that one piece, but it never shows up. I do a DNA test and nobody who’s related to my maternal grandpa shows up. It’s like everyone who’s related to him are ghosts in the wind. Even his siblings are dead, one is alive and I’ve never seen her. But the part that hurts the most is that I might never feel whole or see the family I wish I could’ve known till the day I die.
#personal vent#vent post#Vent#family issues#mom wasn’t on good terms with her father and barely had a relationship with him#so…here’s how deadbeat fathers affect more than just their children everyone#I really hope I meet my other cousins some day#like I’m literally crying right now thinking about this#emotional post#please give me advice if you can relate

Oh you guys weren't kidding, the Ashton/Percy confrontation is fantastic
#critical role#c3#cr3x36#p#somebody said ashton went on the offense so hard that he accidentally dropped every defense#laid it all out for percy; where he's coming from; the miseries of his life; how angry it makes him#percy recognizing all that anger as something he knows al too well. he rarely got hot-headed about it; he didn't rage or shout#but he knows anger alright. he knows /hatred/ even. and he speaks from experience when he tells ashton to#try to make that anger into something that creates; that builds; that /makes/. and then defend that with all you've got#it's probably good advice. it's not hot air at the least.#and ashton being like ''fuck love and joy and hope and all that crap that's not why i'm here#begging for laudna's life at the doorstep of some lord. it's because there's something important here and she's important for it.''#like i mean he might be right or not but that's beside the point the point is that ashton cares about his friends SO MUCH even if#he thinks he's hiding it well#and i can't understand why some people are complaining about percy being an asshole i mean - first of all Duh. where have /you/ been#he's always known how to act righteous and condescending and come across rather coolly. but that's not even very relevant imo??#bc he absolutely has the right to take the stand he's taking i mean jesus#if /anyone/ has the right to say a hard no to delilah briarwood coming back to life in any capacity#it's percy. he's suffered more than enough at her hands to have that right and be foreceful about it#and i'm glad obviously that his isn't the last word spoken on the matter but all that still is true#also just the /juiciness/ of taliesin going up and shouting at his own old pc with his new pc. amazing.#love the layers of it. love how right and wrong they both are.
