As a freelance artist who's job is mostly reliant on social media presence it is so fucking hard when you really dislike social media. I dont like promoting my work. I dont like posting about myself. Most times I have to fight back the urge to delete it all or go on locked/password protected accounts Its hard LMAO

#but...i will survive #im just having a lil moment but #arrgggh #i like just being in discord with #my friends i can count on one hand #playing games all day #personal #negative

“Matsuura-san’s parent died… Hikaru’s parent also died… having your parent die… is bad.”

Thank god we’ve got Yoshiki here, modern philosopher of our time, to drop this wisdom upon us. Surely this grand conclusion, which required a whole flashback to come to, will have an impact on how Yoshiki views death going forward- oh wait, lol what am I saying? Of course it’s not!

#It took so much to come to the coldest take I’ve ever seen #Like Yoshiki pulled this straight out of the fridge ‘hikaru’ put Matsuura in #And he somehow got less empathetic after this point #At the point that /‘Hikaru’/ is the one going ‘should we care about this person dying?’#And Yoshiki is going ‘nah. We’ve got a research project to do’#Smth has definitely changed #I hope this obsession with the research project is like- an actual thing #Maybe like Yoshiki is experiencing that same emptiness ‘hikaru’ feels on a daily basis but he doesn’t know what would fill it #So he’s just seeking out and taking in as much information as he can because learning has always been an escape for Yoshiki #Like being smart is Yoshiki’s way out of the village. Every time Tokyo is brought up it’s almost always in reference to his intelligence #So learning more has always been Yoshiki’s solution to things. ALSO Yoshiki is actually obsessed w/ this research project #He thinks about it while he’s in class- while he’s studying outside of class- while his friends are all talking-#You can probably count on two hands the amount of times Yoshiki talks about smth other than the research project post volume 3 #It’s actually concerning #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died #hgsn #hgsn spoilers #my hgsn shit #It doesn’t have to be because he’s becoming more like ‘hikaru’#I’d just like for that plot point to come up again and be like a driving force for why Yoshiki acts the way he does #The actual reason will be nothing at all #And instead Yoshiki will revert back to normal when Maki eventually dies #Because Yoshiki is only capable of caring about people he knows the name of

Sorry to just drop into this, but another thing to consider with handmade good and the ‘overpriced’ idea is that you also have to factor in how much stock might sell at any given time.

For example, if you make 100 pairs of earrings in a month but might only sell 30 (because you need to give people options etc.) then the profit from those 30 should reasonably cover the time you spent making all 100.

Also, it should pay for the time you spend at craft fairs, replying to any commissions/ purchase requests, packaging time and going to the post office, any online marketing you might do (tumblr posts etc).

Peolle don’t often factor these in when thinking about the value of crafts they buy, which is a bit unfair.

yes there are other overheads but the thing is. basically all of those to some extent also apply to fibre arts

but sure. to be thorough. i spend 10h a week at my market stall and an hour... let's say 2 be generous with it... updating the shop

if i made 50 pairs of earrings and sold 15, the "materials" cost of 1 pair, to cover their unsold breathren, goes from 42p to £1.40

earrings are far from the only thing though, and account for less than half of the sales. so. we can say that about 5h of stall/shop time is covered by those

(plus the hour it took to make them)

sale price - materials cost but split over 6 hours of labour instead of 1.5 is still £12 an hour

#but then. i don't charge for the time organising crochet commissions either #so even charging for labour on jewellery that i DON'T charge for in fibre arts #and more than triple the material cost #which really is fudging the numbers as much as possible in one direction to try and even them out #i can get it down to oh. just over double the hourly rate for crochet #the reason i dont charge for that labour in fibre arts is bc it's expensive enough as is #the reason i dont count 'market time' as paid labour for the other stuff is bc i am doing the exact same thing i would be at home #(making stuff and talking shit)#but downstairs instead of up here #it's a 5h craft hang but occasionally someone hands you money #which i think is a lot of the reason most [makers] dont count it #especially if it's a regular stall setup like mine and not a one-off craft fair #there's no set up/take it down again time it just stays there #i walk downstairs i make jewellery with my friends for 5h and then i go back upstairs again #(hell quite honestly me and babs dont count the money we spend on supplies for the simple reason of We Would Be Buying Them Anyway)#crafting is a disease with no known cure

daniel & friends

i just wanna explore the different friendship dynamics daniel has with lookism characters in terms of friendship vibes and / or personal experience? i’m kind of projecting all over them so these are not necessarily things they’d do in canon but things i can envision them doing as normal teenagers

daniel is the common theme so i kinda refer to him as “you” so ig you could also envision this as lookism character & reader sans daniel

daniel & jay ;

if you had to pick a friend to date, it would be them

you’re a little bit in love with each other because that’s real friendship

your friends probably call you a married couple and you always deny it but get flustered every time they’re physically affectionate with you

sitting together on the morning school bus in comfortable silence, watching everyone around you doze off and feeling comfortable enough with them to be on the verge of dozing off yourself

being gently bonked because you’re a little slow on the uptake, but not being mad about it because you're friends and they don’t really mean it

daniel & zack ;

pain in the ass friends (affectionate), chaos bros

slapping them in the back a little too hard and laughing when they stumble, both laughing when they smack you back just as hard

sending each other dumb memes in the middle of the night and trying hard not to laugh because you don’t want to wake the neighbors

chasing them because they slapped your ass with 0 context in the hallway

head empty you two share a brain cell but who has the brain cell right now? it might not be either one of you actually uh oh

daniel & vasco ;

that special friend dynamic of younger sibling and older sibling

cooing over puppies in the pet shop together and crying internally when the shopkeeper asks you if you’ll buy any pets but you don’t have the money/permission/space/time for one even if they’re so cute

social media feed merging because both of you love cute animals and soon you’re sending each other the same posts at the same time, completely unplanned

sharing a bag of chips and being absolutely entranced by a horror movie, screaming and dropping everything when both of you get jumpscared by the film but also each other screaming

being given obscure advice which sounds really wise when you first hear it, but when you think about it a little longer you have no idea what it means actually. and they will not elaborate bc they don’t know what they’re talking about either

daniel & zoe ;

the best opposite-sex friend you’ll probably ever have

going window shopping together and picking out the best and worst fit combinations for each other to try on, getting kicked out of the fitting rooms for laughing so hard you trip over and break the curtains

“get in loser we’re going shopping” “hey who are you calling a loser!”

the first person to get into a relationship that actually works out well has to buy the other person boba tea, it’s an ongoing bet, it doesn’t actually matter who it is because you’ll be crying happy tears either way

they call you “girl” every time they get excited about things but it’s a gender neutral term to them now it’s like the way you call them “bro” when you get hyped up

they would totally set you up with people they think would be good for you

feel free to give me requests or add things too! asks or comments or reblogs work! if you want to challenge me or make me cry feel free to request gundaniel friendship (if they count as friends, that is)

I just gotta finish up the (waves hand) the other stuff. yknow the main thing #so! thats my sunday plan. and then hopefully I can finish that up in one go and then seal it in for the last time #and I will not have to breath whatever that is in again. Im suited up btw. I dont have a filtration mask but Im triple med masked up #whenever I use it. and I also wear a long sleeved hoodie jacket #messing around with acrylic and gouache is so fun if not for the consequences #well. thats enough of that. hey if u want a print of these pieces get urself a halloween treat.#my halloween treat this year is hopefully I can hang out with my friends and play funny horror games. itll be so fun #or we all play scrabbles together again and I get my ass handed to me #I know english words sometimes but I am SO bad at counting.

‘if your guy friends have girlfriends you need to distance yourself from them, be a girl’s girl first’ unpopular opinion maybe but it’s kind of sad that we make invisible rules to restrict us from the friendships that can organically arise out of situations. and i have no control over the jealousy of another person either. just set your boundaries clearly and concisely and proactively and move on

#also like. i can count the number of girls in my cohort on one hand.#and all my guy friends know very well i’m not into any of them #and i’m not fawning over them either we’re just. chilling #idk if it’s an unpopular opinion but. it rankles that somehow we’re encouraged to end friendships for the sake of preserving someone who #doesn’t have a say in it #bc if they set the boundary themselves that’s another story #but to end a friendship in anticipation of a boundary? hmmm. idk

I'm bad at making female friends. Not in the NLOG way or the cishet man 'women are a different species' way - just that of all the 'girls' I've befriended, more than half of them later came out as trans guys or nonbinary.

#i mean i don't actively try to make female friends or male friends in particular #interests and personality are way more important in potential friendsthan gender #it's just kind of funny #i can count on one hand the female friends who are still female and still my friends #and some of those are debatable #organic home grown content #it's probably just subconscious trans radar

From the Advertiser (Adelaide newspaper) today. (Aug. 18, 2023.) Um... yeah. The desire to accumulate excess wealth is indeed a sin. It's called Greed! One of the OG 7 sins lol

Text:

A Show of Envy

Many letters have been written of late complaining about people who own multiple investment properties. the people who own investment properties have mainly achieved these goals by hard work and a degree of financial acumen. I don't know when the desire to accumulate wealth became a sin? I do not own any investment properties but I admire those who have. They have been smarter than me.

(The rest is cut off.)

#landlords #renting #greedy landlords #landlords are parasites #fun fact: i've already blocked someone on facebook over this same post on there #they were going on about their parents being landlords but not doing it for the money #also they worked '2 jobs 7 days a week' to pay their own morgage #like... good for you but not everyone can work 2 jobs 7 days a week? are they unworthy of owning their own home?#i work hard. all of my friends work hard. i can count on one hand how many of my friends are able to own our own home #and maybe if the housing market were better we wouldn't have to work 2 jobs 7 days a week to afford a house idk

every so often i have the same epiphany about how i like nico rosberg so much because i am personality wise the same as his 2016 self except less outwardly-obvious

#like yeah i AM taut as a wire and hyper-conscious about every little thing and greet it with disproportionate seriousness #aka overreact to it (albeit internal for me) and reenter a vicious cycle of self doubt self hatred #it's the simultaneous god/victim complex fr fr #i have talked to my uni friends (ha as if i have other friends) abt this but i was convinced for a year that they all secretly despise me #when lewis said both nico and i can count the friends we have on one hand yada yada nico only has 5 friends or whatever i felt that #i should see a therapist because i've reached the point where seeing anything impressive related to my future profession triggers panic #but oh well

I swear some people you think are friends really show that they're not when things get rough for you. They completely vanish. Then other folks you were friends with long ago surprise you.

#i miss my college friends #it's a small number I can count on one hand #the exception there is the former best friend #and the gal I thought was a good friend but who found me on Facebook when i was in grad school and then unfriended me 2 months later or so #who knows what happened there because she was unpredictable in what set her off #In general

#coupled friends have a rly annoying habit of telling me to take a break from dating #girl I haven’t dated anyone in a year and a half #and I can count every individual date I’ve had since on one hand #and they were all so uncomfortable I’m just like . no thank u #it’s so weird cos my sex drive is the same but my desire to go out with anyone or sleep with anyone is at an all time low #I talk to my fwb almost every day but I’ve seen him only twice this year cos I legit just don’t care #he’s doing so much in the friend part of fwb and not getting many benefits bless him. good lad that one

I was made entirely tongue tied today at work when a very pretty and spot on Bo-Katan lookalike cosplayer told me I'm pretty.

"You're very pretty. I just thought you should know."

#may the fourth #bo katan kryze #cosplay #sw cosplay #star wars #fox thoughts #seriously i completely stumbled over my words and didn't even think to ask to get a photo of her #without her helmet on #because i was too busy processing that SHE was pretty and that SHE called ME pretty #fml lmao #i can seriously count on one hand the number of people that have called me pretty that were NOT close friends and family #I'm gonna have to make a sticky note to put on my mirror that reads #Remember Bo Katan thinks you're pretty #for those very bad days when i feel like shit and my self confidence is literally 6ft under #'youre very pretty. just thought you should know'#im gonna heckin cry ngl #you're very pretty too bo katan cosplayer... i wish i hadn't swallowed my tongue and that i had been able to say as much

the way i try so SO hard to gain even a crumb of body neutrality only to then see some shit on twitter that remind me that oh yeah. a distinct portion of the population genuinely believes they are being discriminated against when they have to look at or be within 50 feet of a fat person

#the amount of times ive heard my skinny friends call themselves fat and disgusting to my face without considering the implications #i saw some tweet that just like. had a fat person in the video and ALL of the responses were men making fun of her #like. yes i realize my life would be so much better if i was born with a faster metabolism. thank you for reminding me #yes i realize i am not treated seriously because i am fat #that sort of incredulous look skinny people give you when you have the audacity to sit near them on the bus or ask for directions #like they're shocked you weren't some round thing that was in their sights for 2 seconds to make fun but disappeared #i am trying very hard not to let it get to me but when so many people seem to think the same thing it feels stupid #likei know i dont see people the way allosexuals do but are fat people really so disgusting that they feel like they can say shit like that #its so so frustrating #if i am going to die alone because of my own failings i can learn to accept that #but if i die alone because i can't find anybody that doesn't think fat people are worthless then what is the fucking point lmao #''people irl dont actually think that'' i cant count on 1 hand the amount of skinny people who have lamented about their weight to my face #someone brings in cookies to work and as im eating one someone skinny says ''well. i really don't need the extra calories so ill pass''#someone skinny checking out diet/exercise books because they ''REALLY have to lose some weight''#no they aren't talking about me/to me but how detached from your surroundings do you have to be to shit on yourself for your weight #like. even if i was skinny they're still talking about how gross and ugly they are around kids #''love your body and your self!!!1!!1'' okay then stop calling yourself disgusting regardless of how much you weigh.#you can think if if you want but god that 12 year old girl in line behind you is going to remember that forever #she is going to internalize ''oh okay. thats what a disgusting body looks like''#andthen she'll grow up and hate herself and continue the fucking cycle #just stop. stop talking about your weight around kids. i dont need 60 yo women telling me they're gross when they weigh maybe 150 lbs #i know this is super unhealthy but i literally cannot wait until i can move out and isolate myself from society #because every second i try to engage with it is literal torture #yall are so mean for no reason #i dont really have much to live for #but it would be helpful if skinny people didn't constantly reiterate that there's no point to living if you aren't skinny #im so tired #vent
