Your art gives me a lot of hope. It's just so full of joy and self-love, and it makes me feel positive about myself too! I must ask though; I am terrified of needles, and I tend to faint when I get shots. But, I know that it's the most reliable way to get T. Do you have any advice for getting over this fear? Thanks again for putting such great art into the world!
hey thank u sm for your kind words!!!
im not the best person to ask about this probably bc ive never been terrified of needles… like i dont like them but since self injection was the cheapest option by a mile i just sort of forced myself to get comfortable doing it sorry thats so unhelpful 😭😭😭 it definitely was difficult to get used to in the beginning and it would take me some time to work up to being able to do it but having to inject so many times has already made me a bit more confident
#availability might be different depending on where u are#but i was given the option of coming in and having a nurse injecting you every 3 months#(so a lot less frequent if needles really freak you out and you dont think you could try self injection)#but it was a lotttt more xpensive#also theres the gel as im sure u know but idk much about that cuz i dont know anyone who takes it#ask

U know how sometimes you feel a bit (and that bit can vary wildly) sad about how many flaws you have (which is normal and human) and how much growing you can do (which is a good goal but perhaps self destructive once you're putting off A Certain Amount of life until you've done "more work" with that goal post of "more work" always moving farther even though at a certain point you should probably accept that every person is somewhat flawed and always needs to grow more and it's okay to Actively Live one's life and enjoy it DURING that endless process of growing)
Well I certainly feel that way again. I feel like all I should do in my free time for the next 3 months (rather than play or create or self care) is do workbooks for healing and growing. And that I shouldn't bother with my life goals again until I've completed the workbooks At Minimum. (And my instincts are saying ummm that plan sounds like a touch workaholic and avoiding actually living life and isolating)
#rant#i just. i decided i want a loving relationship. its been many years. id like to date again#so i. as usual when i have a problem. looked up HOW#well i read 1 book about physical and thought process changes i can make. and it suggested date within 3 weeks. among other tjings#and so i looked up INTERNAL work to find love. because perhaps if i can fix whatever INTERNALLY draws me to only run into unavailable people#will allow me to start running into AVAILABLE options instead. so i need to complete this 300 page therapy workbook.#and theres no point doing the date within 3 weeks if im only able to ask out unavailable people currently.#so ill do the date in 3 weeks AFTER i complete the workbook.#the workbook is exhaustjng and makes me cry but hey maybe itll help. anyway i wish someone had given it to me 5 years ago#but anyway to hqve time to do with workbook ASAP i dont have time for shows#and i rarely have time for Play anyway. something i hear i need.#because i got chronic illnesss wooh and a lot of my free time i need to go to doctors and physical therapy#and manage my diet (cause i have gastroparesis so if im not careful i Cant eat)#and also i need more muscle so my back stops fucking up.#and also i need time to meditate so my pelvic floor relaxes at least a little to lower the gi issues and pain.#so like.#and then also im sure friends would like to see me more.#meanwhile all i really wanna do? is go to a#cabin by the beach in rhe woods and sleep 2 days then eat cake then read and write my fucking novels

The sadness and agony that emerges everytime I start a new oni save and am forced to remember what it's like to have a dupe without a hat only to put them in a hat because I think they'd look cute only to remember hats make half of them look bald but I spent this long maxing out a skill for them so Im too stubborn to back down and remove the hat
#rat rambles#oni posting#it wouldnt be nearly as much of a problem if dupes didnt all have the same like 3 faces that I suck ass at differenciating at a glance#the amount of times Ive mixed up my maes and nikolas makes me sad Im sorry mae no one should be mistaken with nikola#if I knew how to acess the animation files Id be tempted to make a mod to change it but I dont so Im not#but imagine how cute itd be if abe and nikola had their side spikes stiking out from the sides of their hats#couldnt save the super short haired ppl tho sorry ren ari travaldo turner ruby and probably others too#speaking of my ari I keep mistaking my hassan for ari even tho I dont have an ari yet sorry bestie#hes my main storage and cleaning guy which is the role ari is in my other save#anyways the new save is continuing to go well even if things have slowed down a lil#I managed to get my salt water guiser up and running even if its a very lazy approach of basically just cooling it in a tundra biome#but itll work for the time being until I can get plastic from either drekos or by tapping into my oil biome#Im going for drekos rn since I have a lot of them around but if I can get some atmo suits set up quick enough I might just dive for oil#mainly because I want natural gas for a gas range tbh especially since I started farming waterweed as well#along with duskcaps so I already have access to the ingredients for several high quality gas range foods if I can get one running#now that might be a bit hasty but also I havent actually set base on the teleporter planetoid yet and both the transporters are right there#and I managed to find the sender on my main planetoid so I could pretty easily send over high quality food as a nice start up#this mostly tempts me because theres also a distinct lack of particularly easy to farm plants in the immediate vicinity of the teleporter#which doesnt mean there Wont be food but it does mean that quite a bit of digging will likely need to be done#with is also made tricky by the lack of early settlement oxygen sources available#and while I could theoretically send oxygen from the main colony Id rly rather not until I can get a spom or two set up#which leaves oxyferns and rust as the main oxygen options there until reliable water is found#now one thing I could do is fully transition my main base to getting all its oxygen from a spom and then send the rest of my algae over#my main thing is just Im not rly sure where I wanna put my first spom#I just simply dont have as many options as Id like due to being surrounded by mostly swampy and jungle biomes#not that I couldnt build there or dig them out its just Id rly rather have atmo suits first#which since I am very early in my dreko farm will likely take a lil bit#which also brings up the problem of getting my metal refinery up and running so I dont have to keep using the rock crusher#Ill probably just slap one in one of my tundra biomes as a short term solution but long term Ill probably have to take a shot at a proper#industrial sauna once I get plastic

ive created a reddit account to ask for help w/ the twine game im making (shoutout to r/twinegames btw extremely helpful folks over there) but reddit forces you to choose three subreddits to follow as soon as you sign up and im not planning on using reddit seriously so i just chose fishing related ones and u know what? fantastic choice. every time i head over there to see if my question has been answered i get a page full of fishing advice first and its great
#corvid caws#im very close to being done w/ twine game also#im pretty sure ive got all the coding down and now its just about copying all the text in and making sure it all works as intended#wahoo#this version is going to do a lot of stuff i wanted with the original version but couldnt figure out#and so far the only thing i want that i havent been able to figure out is how to make the scroll bar on the side pink#and im certain theres a way to do that#im just trying to exhaust every available option before asking the subreddit folks

I can't believe I have a job interview tomorrow why would I do that to myself why do I have to have a job is it not enough to girlblog
#im also really anxious bc im pretty sure they're gonna offer me the job#bc the listing says that the person who gets hired has to be available for training shifts which are the 20th-22nd#so I feel like as long as they don't hate me they'll hire me to make their lives easier#but that means i only have Saturday and Sunday to make the decision#that's super fast that makes me anxious#what if i take it then someone better comes#what if i don't take it then theres no other options#if i don't take it that means i have to do interviews again but the thought of doing an interview makes me wanna throw up#id still prefer that other job i had applied for bc for one it pays a lot better#but i still haven't heard from them#watch me accept this one and immediately get a call back from the other one

Is it stupid? Yes. Does it make sense? I mean...a little. But genuinely my ed gets retriggered and reaffirmed by every piece of fanart I see of only thin rep being shown receiving affection from the f/os. Any and all - this is something not inherit to only one fandom.
We have spent decades being shown in every media form that there's one way to look to be attractive and desirable. And then that same thing carries over into fandom spaces. Spaces that say they're open and diverse but just reinforce the same beauty standards. If you're not thin then you aren't loveable.
And I'm tired
I reached out to an artist who said they'd do more diversity and that was over a month ago...
#the thoughts are literally: i dont look like that. i dont look like any of these inserts. i must be really fucking ugly and gross.#i would be disgusting to the f/os since no one shows them affectionate/romantic with aomeone who looks like me.#i need to continue to not eat so i can look like those who deserve love. so i can see myself in the art and feel worthy#i know it's dumb and because im not eating my brain isn't working right but by god does it get hard#i cant help that i need to see people who look like me reciving things to feel validated. ive tried but idk it's the broken synapses#i know there is miz my beloved but again...thats it.#not a great allegory but its like theres only 1 restaurant and everything on the menu youre allergic too except an occasional daily special#and everyone talks about how great it is and how it has a lot of great options and there never needs to be another restaurant or changes#but when you disagree you're told you're wrong and sometimes that it's your own fault you're allergic to what's available#idk man a lot of feelings and ive been fucking down about myself for like 6 months now#i honestly feel like crying everytime i see MORE art of thin y/n's like regardless of fandom#i love summer & tanning and ive been so disgusted by myself i havent spent any time in the sun or swimming because im so grossed out by my#own fucking body. and i never see it glorified or being loved so idk idk i know it's not right but i just...#will continue starving myself until i feel i am what my f/o's have been shown to be preferred

i hope this hasn't been asked before. what size do you make your canvas? and do you crop it to fit other socials (like Instagram for example)? i hear that 300 dpi is standard. i never know if it's good to make my canvas big or not.
hi i think this ask is like at least 4 months old but i was scanning my sketchbooks from last year and i abruptly remembered i had gotten this ask because i had made a little chart in my sketchbook trying to figure out how to answer it
anyways theres pros and cons. and the size of your canvas is really going to depend on personal needs + preference. how good ur computer is, how complicated ur art style, how comfortable drawing feels, how much disk space you have to spare, what youre gonna end up using the art for in the end...300dpi is standard for PRINTING specifically, if you only plan to ever post things online then 72dpi works great and will save you space (fun fact a lot of professional animation files i deal with are 72dpi. and those eventually go on your tv screen). but personally i make everything i draw 300dpi because i am always printing stuff for cons, zines, etc and its nice to have the option even if i dont end up printing.
when I was a teen I used to draw on a rly shitty laptop and i made everything 800x800px 300dpi because big canvases would cause a lot of lag and also the resolution on this laptop was pretty small so 800px was a lot of the screen already. now i have a slightly better laptop with a bigger resolution and i sketch on giant 10000px-40000px canvases with the hard round brush and no shape dynamics or transfer whatsoever to minimize lag. when it comes to making a final illustration when i know ill be using a bunch of layer effects/blending modes/colors/mixing brushes etc etc ill generally crop the canvas down to the 6000px range. most illustrations i try to make sure are comfortably printable on tabloid size paper so thats pretty much anything hovering around or above 3000x5000px w 300dpi (so 11x17in). HOPE THIS HELPS?
EDIT: OH ALSO re: socials. i always ALWAYS size down my art to post on the internet. i think its crazy when other artists dont. because why would i ever let the internet have my hi-res file for free. also in general i think it looks better if you do the resizing yourself because if you don't then many social media sites will compress your file for you! a lot of people will post a hi-res file to twitter and then go "Wow twitter killed the quality of this img!!!" UH YEAH because they have an automatic image compressor. because they need to save space too lol and they dont want your image to take 248263895 years to load. same with instagram and to a lesser extent tumblr. when i post anything on social media i resize it down to 1200px-1600px on the longest side... its a little arbitrary but im kind of basing it on the smallest resolution of widely available screens. mostly because i think it looks stupid when u open up an image file fullsize and u have to scroll to see the whole thing... also iirc instagram only takes images up to 1080px before it resizes them? granted if you upload something smaller than that itll also resize it up which will look worse so I think bumping the numbers just over 1080px is pretty safe.
I should really be bringing the dpi down to 72 too when i post online but often im too lazy to do that. but it will technically help ur image load faster and stuff. and make it less likely for people to yoink it off the web and print it themselves.

isolating this very important note. homelessness and prostitution are linked in more than one way.
first of all, homeless women and youth are seen by many men as unprotected game. not only are homeless women and youth at an insanely high risk of sexual abuse and assault, they also get „offered“ regularly by random men that they will pay them for sexual „favors“. a homeless woman i know said this happened to her almost daily when she was living on the streets, men even asking her to go to the nearest backalley for a blowjob. she always declined, she said thats the last bit of humanity she has left. but it says a lot about the mind of the male sex buyer. for example, both homeless youth (male or female) and homeless women get offered to stay with men if they have sex with them.
both homelessness and prostitution are linked to a high risk of rape and either already having substance issues when entering or developing them because of it, and having faced abuse prior to losing/escaping housing or entering the sex industry.
both are notoriously difficult to exit, and the longer youre in it, the more difficult it gets. and the more numb you become to the hardship, mistreatment, abuse and assault you face.
men enforce a constant stream of new prostitutes by abusing girls and women as their partners, family or caretakers which makes them leave home. living on the street, theres not many options to ensure your survival: stealing, begging, or… prostitution. and since youre unwashed and got nowhere to go, men will use your desperation to save money; to abuse you for as much as they pay for a meal and a drink.
both homelessness and prostitution have a high prevalence of mental illness. mental illness can make it difficult to hold down a regular job, which makes women land on the streets and/or enter prostitution because sex buyers dont give a shit about your mental state as long as youre sexually available.
you cant be anti-capitalist and pro-prostitution.
prostitution advocates would put homeless women in a brothel before judging male sex buyers who exploit them because „the issue is the unsafe work environment and lack of regulations, not prostitution itself“. i can see (and im sure this has happened before) prostitution advocates praising brothel owners for taking in homeless women, giving them housing and a job, and after all, the homeless woman consented, and who are we to judge how she deals with her situation, right?

Piggybacking off the selective mute question, I would love to see similar representation as well if you were able to implement it. Im headcannoning my mc as touch adverse and selectively mute regardless - im personally touch adverse, so a lot of my mcs are too. I just wanted to let you know that thered definitely be interest, but again, I also understand how much work thatd be. Writing a regular novel is stressful, I could not imagine writing a story with that many choices 😭
Thank you for sharing your story with us! Looking forward to adopting Ace and Zodiac as my parents 😊
I'll let you know that I already implemented a touch averse option!! It will be available in the next update 🤗🤗
Ace and Zodiac will be thrilled to co-parent the MC 🤣
Thank you for the question!! 🥰

Papusa Making-Miguel O'hara x platonic teen reader
Description; Reader is the complete opposite of Miguel and does not easily trust, reader gets caught stress making papusas at ungodly hours by Miguel💀Alternatively:Miguel unexpectedly befriends the newest addition to spider society over food
no spanish bc im a no sabo kid🙈(sorry if he seems too white for y'all)
warnings- lowercase intentional, bad writing/bad grammar, fluff, angst??, implied abuse/neglect, ooc miguel(acts a lot like peter b.???), not proofread, idk what else, let me know if i forgot anything🤷♂️
the reader is gn!!! reader is also implied to be nonverbal bc i said so🥰
also the povs slightly change at some points (just ignore it🙏)
first time writing a fanfic pls be nice :))
it was dawning 4:00 am and y/n still had yet to fall asleep, their mind preoccupied with anxiety and paranoia, they took a deep heavy breath, and tried not to close their exhausted eyes. they squeezed their eyelids shut, feeling a headache approaching, and as soon as they did, images of their past events played. they quickly shook their head, trying to get those images out of their mind. as grateful as they were for having a place to stay at hq, they could not help but think about the comforts of their own home. despite the imposing threats of their home, there was almost something cathartic about sleeping on an old bed that was on the verge of falling apart. the young spider's new housing situation felt too safe, too quiet…to… comfortable. as a new spider, they did not know for how long these types of comforts would ve provided without a cost. they almost never slept, as they felt as if they did, these comforts would suddenly gone, as if it was all a sick joke, or a dream
suddenly y/n felt something wet drip down their cheek. "am i crying?" they thought to theirself.
they took another deep breath in, trying not to hyperventilate. in times like these, y/n would usually either bake or cook (only when their parents were not present) or they would just straight up bottle their emotions. y/n sighed as they weighed their options. despite their brains constant paranoia as to what might happen if they get caught baking, they decided to go against their paranoia for once.
as y/n quietly treaded towards the communal kitchen, making sure not to wake anyone up (AN: i imagine that hq house is just a rlly big ahh house so that why theres a communal kitchen). as they looked through the contents available, they remembered that a previous spider had make masa recently, and had leftover masa that desperately needed to be used. y/n also recalled how another spider had previously made pickled vegetables and cabbage and ended up not needing it. this gave the young spider an idea. they swiftly grabbed out the needed ingredients for papusa filling. which included beans, cheese, and loroco. y/n decided to make vegetarian papusas just incase other spiders were interested in eating them. since they basically acknowledged no one in spider society, y/n decided that this could at least be seen as a token appreciation for being taken into the society.
they happily began mixing, almost forgetting the previous events that were plaguing their mind, until a large, menacing figure was seen in their field of vision. y/n suddenly stopped mixing, their hands now trembling with fear, panic clouded their mind, and their eyes began to blur, as they began hyperventilating the figure got closer. in response, y/n decided to continue moving back until they were trapped in a corner of the room.
the figure suddenly came to a halt, y/n looked up to the figure, not being able to recognize the harsh features of the figure.
the figure held a hand up, as soon as the figure did, y/n flinched. the figure suddenly donned what looked like a frown. suddenly, the figure began to speak, "hey, its going to be alright kid, i need you to breathe with me okay?" y/n nodded, still trembling with fear.
the figure began to count with their fingers, "just follow my lead, alright? in for four seconds, hold for seven, and out for eight, alright?" the young spiderlings breathing soon began to calm down after the figure repeated the exercise. soon their vision began to clear, and as soon as it did, they realized that the figure was the stoic man who led the spider society.
he suddenly spoke again, "everything alright?" y/n nodded.
"what are you doing up so late?" he asked the young spider. y/n noted how it looked like he was attempting to soften his features for them.
y/n just simply gestured to the bowl of mix, as well as the pickled vegetables and bag of masa. miguel nodded.
"i have never made papusas before but i have made tamales, could i possibly help you out?" he questioned.
y/n pondered. could they really trust this man? miguel's stature was huge, and could easily take advantage of them. y/n looked down, trying to blink away tears.
miguel attempted a look of sympathy towards the newest spider. he had felt so bad for not monitoring your earth earlier than he decided to. he had seen what had happened after it was far too late. it frustrated him, those events weren't even canon, he could've done something if he had known, there was no need for you to go through that much pain. going through his loss of his daughter made him sympathize with you, not only did you remind him of gabriella, you also reminded him of himself. he felt obligated to take care of you because of your naivete not only that, but he also didn't want to see you go down the same path of destruction he went down.
he took a deep breath in and out, "i understand why you don't trust me, and i respect that alright? but i just want to make it clear that i would never do those things to you. i want you to be able to trust me" he explained to you.
y/n looked back up. he seemed to be trustworthy op enough. after all, he was a grieving father, and seemed as if he had really cared for his daughter.
y/n gestured towards miguel, then to the abandoned products, and then to themself.
"you want me to help you?" he asked, wanting to clarify that he interpreted your gestures right. you nodded in response. he responded with a rare smile.
the two of you got to work, mixing the filling and placing it into the masa. after all the papusas were finally finished with shaping, he finally spoke up.
"maybe next time i can show you how to make tamales, we can even incorporate the banana leaves as well" he suggested.
you pondered his suggestion and nodded with a smile. even though you often did not trust adults, miguel seemed like someone you could trust, and you found it admirable that he was willing to incorporate your culture.
"alright kid, lets cook these" the two of you began to cook the papusas. when the two of you were finally done with cooking the papusas, and cleaning the area, most of spiders in the hq housing were awake, as it was around 6:00 am (AN: realistically papusa making doesn't always take that long but just ignore it for the sake of the story🙏). some of the spiders heading towards the kitchen commented on how good the kitchen smelled.
one of the spiderpeople looked towards you, "did you do this?" they asked. you gestured towards yourself and miguel, miguel simply looked away, "the big bad boss helped you out?" they questioned in shock. the spiderpeople could not believe it. the cold, harsh man had helped you, the timid new kid make food? but it seems that the surprised chatter was soon silenced as people started to eat your papusas.
needless to say that they encouraged you and miguel to cook more often.
AN: if u got this far tysm for reading, i rlly do appreciate it-feel free to leave feed back, or interact in any way🥰 i was inspired to write this bc despite the amount of miguel x hispanic reader works there were, i felt like most of them were targeted towards mexican ppl (or like some of yall forget that other latin countries besides mexico exist) and i wanted to see some rep for salvadorans

The clashing contrast of Etoiles and Bad’s fighting styles are very fun as they’re on polarizing ends of the spectrum.
Etoiles is very much of the ‘bushido’ way. You train to be skilled but your skills have rules and codes and honor. Fights in pure brute to brute skill is considered both the right and the ‘fun’ option for Etoiles and lack of chance to flex these skills causes depression.
Bad is very much a hunter, in specific a ‘human’ type hunter. He uses his wit and tenacity (‘being a nuisance’) to overcome ‘prey’ much greater then himself. He thinks tactically and uses every resource to cause damage mentally, physically, and emotionally, no tool is left untouched. Points and fun for bad come from creativity.
In the ‘quiet’ moments not in combat Etoiles always eager to spar at any opportunity, playfully beating up on anyone in his vicinity. Bad always eager to discover a new elaborate way to trick or tease those he cares for.
how this plays out narratively is very fun as well for Etoiles’s fighting style and mentality it goes along with him achieving the greatest shield and greatest sword. To him only he can protect others for he has achieved the best, through his merit and skill.
for Bad upon hearing of the code sword’s effects immediately came up with a device (basically a weaponized battle backpack) of simple tools available to everyone that could counter the sword’s effects, because for bad when he hears of a challenge he lights up and schemes to overcome, never saying to himself that his weaknesses can keep him from competing.
Both Etoiles and Bad are persistent, for Etoiles it means becoming stronger for Bad it means defeating by any means by any source. For Etoiles Bad’s fighting style is considered ‘dirty’ ‘not honorable’ and ‘not fun’. Where Etoiles has high respect for Bad is that Bad is highly trained and puts a lot of effort into what he does, while an opposing end to Etoiles it still takes just as much effort to pull off in a substantial way and Bad does that, the love and passion and work put in are the same for both. Both reserve themselves against others that aren’t willing to partake in going against them in non combat settings. While Etoiles picks up on what is the same for him within Bad, Purgatory was a show of how there styles are in direct conflict with one another.
Order vs chaos.
Its very entertaining to have these two pairings as again in their respective fields they’re both very great at what they do but they both of course do so differently to one another the clash is fun.
They haven’t really had the chance to actually clash too much, purgatory being the biggest opportunity and kind of realization moment thus far but the chord that is similar is still too strong for them to have a chance at opposition just yet (I feel theres plenty of opportunity for it to happen at some point down the line which Id be happy for because I love juxtapositions particularly in ones where neither is right or wrong just different. Very cool stuff!)

In what world is it good parenting to let a minor child, who is definitionally an idiot, block or alter their puberty or actually mutilate a normally developing body with surgery? Asking cause you said you're not close with the parentals cause of transition stuff so Im assuming you think good parents help their mentally ill kids "transition?"
i mean. physically speaking, there is a fundamental symmetry between undergoing natural puberty and undergoing altered puberty. or at least, *i* think theres a fundamental symmetry. if youre like a "dont pull the lever in the trolley problem" person then yeah i think this position is pretty consistent. but im not one of those people, so i dont think that. so then the question comes, "will this person be better off undergoing natural puberty or altered puberty?". and thats a prediction question, so its difficult! im doubtful we have good data on the question, theres all sorts of surveys and stuff (generally in favor) but its not like were getting a random sample. and theres also counterfactuals to consider which are of course inaccessible. anyway! im actually much more ambivalent (i think its probably good to allow minors to transition, at least by the time theyre like. properly starting puberty. but also, everything about the ethics re: minors is such a mess) about minor transition than a lot of trans people i think, *except* for blockers. like. blockers are a no-brainer. its pausing the choice until theyre an adult (i mean, of course, not exactly. but i think its the safest of the available options). and thats what i was asking for! i just wanted blockers.
this isnt a super cogent answer sorry. i guess my most cogent answer is that i dont think we should inherently value a normally developing body over an abnormally developing body if the abnormal development is desired by the person whose body it is.
