ibuprofen is a type of angel that can live inside a bottle in your house

After a careful consideration and stepping back from Tumblr completely for the last 2 weeks, I have decided to give "returning" a try, meaning I will be crossposting my content in Tumblr, at least for a while. If there won't be toxicity, I will be returning permanently.

I have scheduled my content from last year to be posted, starting from tonight. I'm posting once a day until they run out, but publishing 5 today to align the rest of them (blame is on me and my obsession with numbers).

But this still means I'm not (publicly) interacting with other authors/my readers beyond writing/requests related stuff in Tumblr (my writing, not others), only in AO3. So chain asks etc are going to get ignored, and I also won't be doing follower celebrations, and I won't be posting pictures of my guinea pigs or selfies. I may be updating something about the con that's happening 1st-3rd of March because I know a lot of my followers still are here because of Grishaverse, but that's going to be a major exception. The situation may change at some point and I'll start reading fics from other people in Tumblr again, but for now I'm not reading anything in Tumblr.

Comments on my stories will be answered, and reblog comments are going to get reblogged with an answer.

Taglists still won't be operating so please don't ask. This is excluding posts where they already are added into, because I don't need to do any extra work for them. I'm tired of fighting with them, so no longer doing them. If you want to get informed about new pieces, I have series folder things in AO3 for each fandom and character I've written for, depending on your preference. More characters will get added as I write stuff for them, as AO3 doesn't let me create serieses unless there's at least one work published for that series.

Now that I’ve graduated, I finally have time to try and get back into art!

Hello there this is Jenisa Ma. Vanisa D. Anlagan for JenTalks!

This marks the beginning of making a startup project. 

So today is the end of our technoprenuership course week 1. During this week we formed a team of 4 for our project. In finding our team mates we first assess our classmates according to what our team needs and knowing them for about 4 years really help us. 

After forming a team we then assess our selves with the help of  Berkeley Innovation Index test and  MBTI personality test. I took the test and the results can be seen in the attached pictures. I was not surprise with the personality test because the result was the same when I took it back in 2018. What surprise me is the innovation index test results because I didn't expect having so much percentage on it. 

That ends the week 1 of my technoprenuership journey. Stay tuned and be excited on how can a protagonist personality with an 82 percent of innovation mindset can contribute to the making of a start-up project. 

See u next week!

I can't wait to put my new yoi keychain on my yoi tote bag which is decorated with my yoi pins

when i was 5 i wanted to watch The Lion King every day but i would cry miserably about Mufasa, and when my mom would try to comfort me i'd get embarrassed and tell her i wasn't crying, my eyes just hurt, and she'd be like "your eyes always seem to hurt at this part" and i'd be like "yes...because of my mysterious disease..."

When I was like 12 years old my violin teacher owned this peculiar music shop, and I would go there weekly for lessons. It was a narrow old pioneer house whose ground floor had been converted into a storefront and lesson rooms. After a while, a luthier had also moved in upstairs and set up a studio for making violins.

So, one day I'm going into the shop for my lesson. I head in the front door, and before I turn into the living room area where the main shop is, I look down the dark hallway at the rickety wooden stairs that lead up to the luthier's studio. The air smells like sawdust and lacquer. Just a little bit of light filtering in from the window behind me.

Something's on the stairway. A huge black animal is making its way down these steep, narrow stairs. I've never seen anything like this, I genuinely did not know an animal like this exists, and it comes right up to me, click-click-clicking slowly over the floor, long and tall and dark. There are wood shavings peppering its coat. It lifts its head up and its massive beast-face is virtually level with my child-face and I realize this is a gotdamb bizarro dog of some kind. It looks impossible but it's real and it's there, staring at me in total silence with a face the length of my arm. Then it does a 3-point-turn in the tiny dusty hallway and goes right back upstairs.

Turns out this was just the luthier's dog Seamus, a black borzoi of incredible height and length. anyway i'm just trying to say it was a disturbing set of circumstances under which i discovered what a borzoi is and everything in my life has felt very complicated since then

What happened to your Society6 store? It seems like there's a lot less designs available than there used to be. I was hoping to get some tapestries but everything is gone...

Wow! This ask made me go check out my Society6 shop — and you’re right, it’s pretty much all gone! So, here’s the story on that for anyone who hasn’t heard:

Society6 decided that their outsized profit from artists wasn’t cutting it — they now require artists to pay a monthly subscription for the privilege of letting Society6 profit off of them, while foisting additional shipping fees onto the artist and reducing their payments on top of that. I had heard some months back that they were planning to switch to a subscription model, and it looks like since I didn’t pay up, they permanently deleted everything except 10 random pieces of art from my shop. They did this without notifying me at all (classy!) after years of making tens of thousands of dollars off of my work — but weirdly, this is kind of a relief for me?

My cut of Society6 sales were already a laugh even before the proposed changes (I make more money from someone dropping like $20 at my personal print shop than I do from someone buying $100+ of my stuff from Society6) but the tapestries and blankets were so cool and I loved how much people enjoyed them, so I kept my art available there. They've deleted nearly all of my work now, so I'll go finish the job and close out my account for good.

Anyway, it’s disappointing, but Society6 has chosen to suck profoundly at this point in time. Totally scummy treatment of the artists whose work is the foundation of their entire business model. I’m lucky enough to have a supportive audience and never relied on Society6, but I feel badly for artists whose livelihoods have been impacted by this. (If you’re one of those artists, know this: you deserve better compensation for your hard work than what S6 is giving you!)

OK, with all that said — I’m bringin’ tapestries back, baby! They can’t keep this cowboy off the range! Right now I’ve ordered samples from some different places to compare quality, and once I’ve settled on a manufacturer I‘ll be making them available at my print shop. I’ll post on my socials when I’ve sorted it out!

yeah your girl booped me. idk man you'll have to talk to her about it

why are your posts the way that they are

my huge brain... two brain cells only but they're each the size of a gorilla's fist

(greeting someone u would die for)  well well well... look who crawled out of the primordial FILTH

A limited run of signed 'Thicket' prints is now available at The People's Print Shop! imo it's one of the loveliest reproductions of my art ever

We're so back!! Tapestries are available once again, now at my print shop. Same quality and sizes as I had at Society6, only this time I'll be fairly paid! Gratitude to all the folk who continue to support artists <3

stuck in your childhood aren’t you?

smh…you tell 45-50 excruciatingly detailed stories about your childhood and people think they got you alllll figured out…

i don't know what it is about your art that makes me so motivated. i think it's the way you depict wild animals in the most unassuming, americana settings. i've always felt as if i'm not fully meant to be here, some sort of detached - perks of being korean-american and southern - and looking at your art makes me feel seen.

looking at your art makes me feel at home, which is something i don't usually feel. if this makes any sense, it feels like i am the jaguar at the top of the staircase, the stag leaping rooftop to rooftop, the girl with the face of the wolf, that's me.

every time i'm scared that maybe i won't make it, i trot on over here and feel comforted.

i hope you have a great night (or morning, or afternoon, or whatever else it may be in your world), because after looking through your pieces, i know i sure am :)

What tremendously kind things to say — I genuinely used to fantasize that someday my art might make someone feel this way. Messages like this blow my mind. Thank you!

ok listen…listen…i know that last night i was talking some real big talk, saying i would post my new painting today…it was brash, it was bold…but it needs just one more night of polishing…just a lil more special sauce…please enjoy this happy cat in the meantime
