It should not be 5X cheaper to buy a replacement for an entire item than just a replacement part for an item.

experimentin w shit heehee

I have a couple of questions concerning a giant bitch 

So number one I actually commissioned the giant piece of shit known as calcium cat and I’m wondering what I should do, should I commission another artist to remake it or redraw the thing myself so I can get rid of the old version?

Number two I want to make AU similar in ideas to one small dream so that people can still enjoy it without having anything to do with calcium cat but considering I’m genderfluid not trans I’m just not sure if that would be appropriate

Well first thing to remember is that you didn't know at the time you commissioned her she was a bigot.

It's completely up to you for what you want to do though. You can commission another artist or just draw it yourself.

Also you don't need to be trans to make an au like her's. (Even if it's as a "fuck you" or even if it includes characters being trans.)

Although if some people want a VERY cute alternative the @dadmareau is super cute!!!

wait sorry i saw a post and now im annoyed but like yall know you don’t have to be apart of fandoms right?? like you don’t have to do anything with fandoms. its okay to just enjoy things you like on your own or with friends. “you know what this fandoms like” no i really don’t. nor do i want to. “that fandoms toxic” probably but like???? im not subjecting myself to that. just bc i like something and post a lot about it doesn’t mean im apart of a fandom. it means im going to enjoy my little game or show bc thats what its there for. i dont go out my way to see what the fandom is like. dont let random strangers on the internet ruin a piece of media for you. now go have fun i love you.

god I know this is like The Wrong Stance on AI. I know its not about whether the art is Real and Human or If It Has A Soul and how a lot of the arguments against it are the same bullshit arguments people made against digital art like I Know. I Knowwww. but god, I'm really sorry, not to post like one of those annoying poetry bloggers I cant stand (yall are valid, live your truth, theres nothing wrong with what you post I'm just a petty bitch who hates poetry. unless I dont hate it.)

But theres just something about the way AI art will almost certainly never be able to mimic the exact way my pencil leaves an indentation in the paper, the way some of the lines I can never fully erase cause I pressed too hard, theyll have to at least train them to draw with a physical pencil first, and sure, they could train it to draw with a pencil and even erase the exact same piece I drew, line for line, on a piece of paper with a robot arm powered by AI, but they can't replicate. idk. the lineage of lefty bitches in my family, and the way I grew up going through school with my entire left arm silver with graphite, from doodling on my schoolwork. not yet anyway. but I guess I do live for the day we make the ai sentient enough that we can traumatize it by giving it homework after kneecapping its executive functions so it copes by drawing a big tiddy lobster monster. sure

anyway as soon as i pry myself off this couch im gonna share some screenshots of bg3 protags on my sideblog. just gotta like. reach the desk first.

im going to cry this is actually healing me

My air conditioning isn't working right, my coffee exploded & burned my finger

Today is not my day

Apparently the scene you get with Shadowheart if you get her approval all the way up and then tell her you want to get to spend time with her is the same one you're supposed to get at the tiefling party, which means if you trigger it early you may not get any scene with her at the party at all. This made things pretty confusing when I showed up expecting to advance my romance with her and instead she just gave me some generic "lol wine is good huh" dialogue meanwhile every other companion* BUT her was actively trying to jump my bones... Literally just had to beat everyone else off of my Tav with a stick and then go to bed alone 😔

*Except Lae'zel, who instead went on an unprompted rant about how she knew I wanted to fuck her sooo bad but I had Pissed Her Off by making her be Nice to People so now she would NEVER allow me the pleasure of having crazy hot githyanki sex with her. (She propositioned me a few days later anyways)

tell me your failed/embarrassing flirting stories to make me feel better, i’ll go first: today i said “get out of my way” forgot to say “i’m kidding” then immediately said “bye”

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to diffuse direct sunlight on a sketchbook for a guy who never even actually does any outdoor sketching anymore

i love college and i love my friends it is extremely good and enriching for me to be doing all this but 10am-5pm near constant social contact three times a week is killing me a little bit. anyway next week one of those 10-5s is going to be a 10-6 and the week after is an 8-7 sort of situation. help me

i have got to get medicated again this is getting out of handddd

if theres one thing i could say to roleplayers and writers and oc makers it would probably be that you don't have to make your oc good at the things they enjoy!!

i remember one of the first people i ever really roleplayed with (we fell out of contact a long while ago; i hope they're doing alright now) was a big doer of this- their ocs would have talents or hobbies that they were very, very good at-- they never needed to learn or practice or anything of the sort- and i ain't condemning them for it in any way! the world of fiction is a wonderful place and a great form of escapism! that's what the "you don't have to" aspect of this is all about!

but it led (at least in this case) to this vein of thinking that was centered around "(x) aspect of my life isn't how it is in stories; does that mean i'm doing it wrong?"

when you don't have any other reference for things like hobbies or relationships- or when trouble with hobbies and relationships comes first, and you make ocs that are very, very good at dealing with these things to cope- it can sometimes skew your way of thinking about these things-- which i know because i did exactly the same and it did exactly the same for me. there weren't any characters out there who sucked at what they liked and liked what they sucked at, and honestly it just began to make me feel worse about myself. was i not improving fast enough? was this not the sort of route of life i should be pursuing? would my favourite characters be disappointed in me?

sometimes it works with escapism! sometimes it makes you feel worse abt your own life! sometimes- and this is entirely possible- it does both at once!

and honestly, there's a lot of things you might be able to accept in the worlds you create and the fiction you consume that could help you- like that it's okay if you (and your characters) don't fall in love as a teens, or it's okay if the relationships said teens build aren't concrete aspects of their life. it's okay if you (or your characters) never fall in love at all! it's okay if your characters are messy, complicated people and it's okay if they're not right or good or nice all the time!

but the biggest (and funnest, and perhaps most freeing) thing is they don't have to be good at what they like!! you can have singers who aren't prodigies and artists who aren't secretly talented and bookworms who aren't geniuses- and you can have people who like romance and aren't good at falling in love, or who like being good and aren't skilled at being morally upstanding!!

you truly can do what you want forever!!!!!
