20.12.23, wednesday
My main hobby is just procrastinating in any way I can. The plan was to make a cup of coffee and then start working. What actually happened is that I watched a 3 part video series (by james hoffmann ofc) on Aeropress coffee and made a few cups with different variables. Still not sure if I found The Recipe for me, but it’s getting better (tho I don’t love the coffee beans I have)
#altho i’m not sure I agree that inverted method is not worth the risks#maybe I just pour my water in too slow (bc I get nervous abt pouring too much) but there’s a fair bit of liquid that manages to get through#before I can place the vacuum on there#so I did it with inverted method#what I took from his recipe was the swirling instead of stirring and letting it rest for 30secs after to get a more even bed of coffee#I did 14g of coffee & 200g of water with a 5min brew -> swirl -> another 30seconds of letting it rest before pressing gentlyy for like 20-3#seconds#but idk it’s a bit ’’one note’’#which could be the beans#I have medium roast rn and I prefer light roast but the light roast beans have been no where to be found lately idk why#(there aren’t many actual light roast beans and the other ones are waay out of my budget)#(or at least good ones; there’s the one affordable light roast that’s everywhere but I don’t like it that much (but tbf should’ve still#bought that instead of these ones I got))#like this is still way better than what the drip coffee of those beans are#and the achilles heel is that I don’t have a thermometer of any kind so my water temperature is guesswork every time#so tweaking variables is always a bit sketchy bc idk if I just had a better water temperature that time#studyblr#booklr#aesthetic#bookblr#books#study#reading#read#book#coffee#2023#december 2023

I know a sorta made a small post along these lines the other day, but something a lil more official of!!
im kinda broke rn, between the recent stuff with losing my car and having to get a new one and work literally scheduling me 13 hrs a week. Im slowly losing money and it got really bad this month after paying my bills and everything and realizing I had just 300 bucks in my bank account.
My current job hasn't been working with me to give me the hours i need to make a living wage and iv been trying to get a new job for months with no success and it's looking like i could really use a lil extra support via online commission work rn until I can land a more solid paying job. I really hate to sound like a desperate wet cardboard box beast but I still need to insure my new car and cant afford it as i stand right now.
I wont ask for donations, I think im going to be fine, but a lil money to help keep my head above the water would be great so im just gonna promo my commission work. To anyone who can commission me in some way or another would be awesome! I appreciate any support I can get rn even just a reblog
My Commission Info
My Kofi
My Etsy
My Toyhouse
#again sorry for sounding like im crying wolf with 200 in my account but i havent bought groceries this month#or my car insurance#im waiting for my next paycheck#so i kinda know its about to get sucked down the drain#i still havent bought christmas gifts for my brother and the cousins which i would really like to be able to if i could#again im not gonna die#so im not asking for donations#i will be fine#im just a lil money stressed and if i could branch out to try and get some commission work rn that would be a huge help#again im not asking for donations#there defiantly ppl who need it more than me#but if you were everythinkin to commission me and have the funds rn#i wouldnt mind if you reached out#i know its the holidays and everyone is probably low on funds#i see the situation as it is rn#but if i could just make an extra hundred or two i think it put my mind at ease a lil more for when its time to pay all my bills again

upon request and for fun, some of my favorite photos from this year! above are color photos that were Souped before developing (also a few lomo purples that i left alone).
and below, cyanotype prints, mostly toned. i did not write down what each one was soaked in on the back bc i am constantly not writing shit that i should on the back of photos. i will never change or improve. i WILL someday use a scanner that is not my phone but today is also not that day
and honorable mention for existing goes to this carbon print printed on glass and the only two actual darkroom prints i made this year. next year...i will go...to the darkroom more
#photography#some of these cyanotypes were probably printed last year/toned this spring but shhhh#to do next year: actually go to the darkroom. More Soup. actually use the vellum i bought for cyanotypes--#i shot a roll of double negatives and a roll of Photo Goes Onto Sprockets but haven't developed either of them so fun surprise for next yea#sorry i could have put a cut somewhere in there. did not

something something, visited by three spirits that push you to reinvent yourself
and meanwhile, the three mother-type figures in Adora's life were all key to her to figuring out what she really wanted and who she wanted to be but literally...
Light Hope "died" trying to right a wrong from the PAST
Queen Angella died trying to preserve Adora's PRESENT
and Shadow Weaver died to give Adora a chance at a FUTURE
#I could say this more intelligenty with time but this just occurred to me and I'm making it your problem#Shadow Weaver as the terrifying faceless cloaked figure#then her last words being 'this is only the beginning for you' as she bought them time (in the long and short term)#light hope essentially ending the world because of old programming from a long dead race of colonizers#then letting herself be destroyed over memories that should have been deleted bc she regretted what happened with mara#and the way the way the crystal castle gave you a tour of moments of your past like the first spirit#meanwhile angella was just trying to close the portal to save the present aka the life they had right now#but of course her staying behind completely altered the present for everyone especially glimmer#and meanwhile each of these losses served as key moments in Adora's journey (pos change arc if ur nasty)#and she emerged on the other side realizing it was not too late to change and make a new world#spop#shera#she ra#queen angella#light hope#shadow weaver#adora#a christmas carol#meta#do you see what I'm getting at?#this all started because I was picturing the three of them as ghosts at the end watching her Star wars style

I just started replaying DAO after fighting Origin for over an hour, giving up, and buying a cd drive for my laptop so I can use my original copy. And then cursed up a storm as I had to track down the files for the DLCs that I own but apparently EA doesn't think I should have access to anymore. They were hidden on EA's own site. Some of them didn't work. I am filled with nothing but rage over this bs.
But probably not as much rage as your average Mahariel feels going through the bs that is their origin story. I'd even forgotten the state of the female leather armor after all these years of refusing to draw it.
Over at Patreon and society6 our armor covers our entire chest, because safety comes first.
#champions and heroes#dragon age origins#Mahariel#Duncan#maybe the reason there are so few people willing to join the grey wardens#is because of tactics like this#and if companies don't want us to hoist dark sails then maybe#just maybe#they shouldn't decide that nobody could possibly want to buy the old games they've bought from them#it's ridiculous#it would have been cheaper to buy a new copy on Steam#but a) I had no idea if that would be broken as well#and b) I refuse to give EA more money when they can't even provide me with the game I bought and have on their own servers#absolute BS

@corviisquire You have no idea how much i love you for this creature design
Btw the gold parts and the tentacles are glossy and have a slight 3d effect, the scanner just can't pick it up
#look the contrast of the regal outfit and the tentacly mostly human shaped featureless voidcreature is just so up my alley#you can be absolutely sure there is gonna be more of this guy#because i'm absolutely in love#also i have to buy a new pale blue pencil because i wasn't paying attention and i bought a pastell pencil.. which i hate with passion#for me it is a nightmare to work with#anyway yeah#this guy probably should get a name at some point but i'm terrible at naming things#i mean the first thing that came to mind was clairvoyant i don't know why.. i mean i love how the word sounds regardless of meaning#i mean the meaning also kinda works with the look...so maybe that could work at least as a placeholder name?#although if we are going off on meaning... haruspex could be a fun one because it is similar#ESPECIALLY in regards of future art#because you bet i'm gonna put tomato sauce on all over 'em#but clairvoyant has a much much better ring to it#sooo maybe i stick with that if i have your blessing Corvid?#can we name this one Clairvoyant? at least for the time being T~T but it is probably going to stick by the time i could figure out somethin#i'm already kind of attached to it#i'm terrible that way#it's also almost midnight#again#i should sleep#sorry for rambling#levynn tries to draw#creature design#art#what to tag this?#also yes i expanded my arsenal of coloured pencils#i have 6 now#and i think i'm good#even that is too much for me

Needing a Sua perspective from the ALNST auditions to Round 1. I never put much thought into what happens to the cast post-Anakt Garden graduation (do they immediately go to the auditions? Is there a period of time where they dont see each other until they recognize each other at the audition? Theres a considerable amount of time between the auditions and their Alien Stage season, did they see each other often between then or...? etc.), but regardless, imagine being her and having to choose between sabotaging your own audition so you dont have to go the the Sing, Win, or Die Show or putting your in your all in hopes of winning and spending just a bit more time with this girl you love because you know itll likely be the last time you see her. Imagine...
#dee p thoughts#alien stage#alnst#vivinos#like. not as if life wouldve been sunshine and rainbows if sua failed the audition and never went on alien stage hashtag Im a Pet to Aliens#but like. sua was definitely more in the know. Im not the type to believe mizi was completely naive but I think mizi may have bought into#the idea that dying Wasnt That Bad due to what she was taught and her trust in her owners...until round 1- maybe mizi was confident she'd#truly win and/or her owners praised and made her feel so. sua: ''My dream is Mizi's dream. (paraphrased)'' etc etc#maybe it was the dream of mizi's owners that mizi wanted to fulfill or mizi just wanted to impress her owners in return for their care...#but sua knew. she knew it would either be she never sees mizi again whether she dies or achieve such fame that sua could never reach her...#or sua can spend a little time with her. whatever they have left. whether it was her or mizi the likelihood of them ever seeing each other#again... because mizi is intent on this. she is going to join alien stage. she is going to pass the auditions because she is so dazzling.#...I need to be with her.#I think considering the ivan and sua comic anakt garden may be a pipeline to alien stage? its functionally a music school iirc so I think i#at least gives them a leg up and humans are put into anakt garden with at least some intention of having them try out for alien stage-#but nonetheless I imagine there was a liminal space where none of the cast really knew where their lives were going post-anakt garden.#not that they have much choice in the matter but still dalkjdalkbn- that liminal space mustve been a dark time for majority of them#because well. their owners. and they couldnt meet each other and may never meet again...#regarding the time between the auditions and their alien stage season I imagine its funnily a lot of. training. pr vocals visuals...#they have autographs despite them all potentially dying quickly they had them draft and practice and perfect autographs guys adjlkbnadlfkjf#the look mizi and sua shared in sweet dream when they both passed the auditions together...AUGH.....

Aro culture is buying pride merch with the agender flag because people always forget about us
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#honestly i am always curious for widely available pride merch which demographics are more likely to be financially worth producing for#like. in the sense of 'if you could theoretically have infinite identities represented and every new identity who asked for a product had#a high quality image of their flag from which you could produce your product... which identities buy more?#i assume more well-known identities are... well. more accessible to the average person#but i've heard periodically that certain flags are hard to justify designing products for due to the cost analysis of design/production#versus the likelihood of them being bought#though i think that *primarily* effects small businesses in which you pre-order a certain amount of a product in order to sell#not made-to-order products#(science brain go brr)

you seem like the. kind of person who I'd run into during a rock concert while I'm trying to find bathroom and notably you are dressed kind of oddly for the concert (see: divorced dad outfit. hawaiian shirt. jorts. chunky sandles. giant sun hat.) and so I ask you "hello, do you know where I can find the bathroom?" and you go "yeah sure!!" and you point me the complete opposite direction from the bathroom. not on purpose, but because you also have no idea where the bathroom is. I thank you and go on my way, both of us oblivious to the fact we are currently very much not at a rock concert. it's an idie band that just screams really loud. sorry if that's specific you just give me giant 'perpetual tourist that isn't really a tourist and has never left their home city but just seems like a tourist anyways' energy
naw thats a pretty reasonable impression id say
#thank you for this i can very clearly see all of this happening whehghfdg#ive actually never been to a concert of any kind before!! id love to go see cavetown in person cuz hes the only one i actually consistently#listen to. but the dude only has his tours either in europe or the states orz#BUT if you did ask me where you could find a certain type of fish in the aquarium i could almost definitely get it right#only cause ive been to the aquarium enough times to memorize the galleries but forgetful enough to be surprised every single time#“yeah sure!!” is also a SPOT ON RESPONSE. not a “its that way” or “head there and turn left”. yeah sure is more on point than u could know#one time i was at the beach ogling these tiny fish and some guy asked me hows the water and i said theres tiny fish here!!#which did not answer his question and was so far off and its happened so many times that i think ive accepted it#ask#answered#yapping#doodles#puppysona#i also know deep in my soul i would dress oddly for a concert because 1) almost all the clothes in my closet are at least 8 years old#and 2) im very picky and wear for comfort rather than something i could actually use for certain outings. like a concert#i literally have a sweater that says baddie in fancy font and i only bought it because its REALLY FUNNY and it was like $12

Ancient wisdom: Do not sew that which can be super glued together
#art#fiber art#crochet#my crochet projects#described images#image description in alt#i could have bought a much better pouch for two dollars and that's what makes this shitty pouch great :)#why would i watch a sub-par marvel movie when i could watch the cinema masterpiece that is The Room (2003)#i'm actually sad that i don't have more button pins because i love attatching them to my projects#i hate sewing by hand because i know nothing about doing it right tbh#and apparently i refuse to learn even a simple whip stitch#so i'll solve this shit like a southern dad who does shoddy DIY#i should have used fabric glue but consider this: i only had super glue

Good news: winding 2400 yards of yarn didn't annoy the cats as much as I thought it might (loud and distracting though it is). (So glad I finally got a swift, though--it was such a mess all those years I did it without one.)
Bad news: I just could not get gauge with the needles I have, so I had to talk myself into buying new needles after all, for a change, instead of just finding a different project that'll work with the needles I have. Reminding myself again it's my money, I can spend it, it's my money, I can spend it...
#knitting#yarn#they weren't the recommended needles anyway but i thought maybe i'd see if i could get away with it#but no we're talking off by like 3-4 sts it just was not gonna happen#since i had to pay shipping i bought a few pairs to make it more worthwhile#also good news! that very painful shoulder injury i've been babying for the last month is way better#or else all that winding (and knitting) would have aggravated it#adventures in sweater knitting
