Some submissions I get make me want to make, like, a Wall of Shame for submissions I am Not Fucking Posting but irritate me enough to let people drag them in the public square
It has been a while since I shared an outfit so I thought I might as well put this one up here ♡
(Some might have seen this on my other blog? Well I will put this up here anyway for those who did not! It is still a very nice outfit after all)
I know it is a bit simple, but the ribbon and tights make it special ! This was an outfit for going to the bookstore, but it is nice for school and lots of other places, too c:
What about everyone else? Was sort of places have you been going ??
I am sorry I have been so quiet and have not replied to things yet! I will do so when I feel better, and truly I hope no one feels ignored ♡
Seeing everyone’s kindness during this time has really warmed my heart though — so thank you *so* much!
It means much to me, and I am giving all that love back times a *billion* in return ♡
Sending soft hugs & sweet thoughts to all my friends! I pray that everyone has a blessed day, and takes care ~ !
Edition #1: thoughts on hate & caring about what others think of you.
Regardless of what people think of you, you need to understand that it only matters/ means something if you decide it to. What i mean is that i know lots of people say “you should only care about your opinion. Others opinion of you dont matter” but that’s only true if YOU DECIDE IT TO BE TRUE. I will say this again: this is your life!!!!!
If you choose to accept and believe the nonsense that others will think/ say of you, then you are saying “i dont have the confidence and self love in myself to only accept my opinion, so im going to give you the power over my emotions and how i act :)” do you really want to do that? Because that’s what you’re doing when you start acting based on how you think others are gonna think of you and what their perception is.
Remember: what other people think of you is just THEIR PERCEPTION. Stop making your personality & yourself dependent on what another person thinks of you!!
And also, some people will literally just hate on anything because of how sad their life is. I mentioned this before, and im gonna mention it again: there could be a video of CATS PLAYING on YouTube and you’ll find someone criticising and hating on that. That’s how sad some of these people in life are. So stop trying to or thinking that since you love yourself and you’re “perfect” that everyone should/ would like you because THATS NOT TRUE.
I read this quote once: “you could be the most juiciest, yummiest apple in the world, yet there would still be someone out there who doesn’t like apples.”
“So then.. what do i do if I receive hate? It’s still mean and hurtful.”
WHY does it still hurt??? WHY are you giving that person ANY control over how you feel???? If this person is someone who’s your friend or close to you, when they do it, TELL THEM THAT YOU DONT LIKE IT!!! Without communication and understanding, you will only start to build resentment for the other person, creating a toxic relationship. Comunícate your boundaries clearly by telling them that firmly, NOT in a joking manner, that you don’t like it. Now ofc if they do it once more, remind them again. Most of the time, if this person really cares about you, they will respect your feelings and stop doing that. But if it happens more times, you’ve gotta stop giving your energy to them. Reserve that for something that actually matters.
You may or may not have noticed that i did not write “just cut them out” because i know how difficult that can be, especially if you’re a kid still living with your parents. Because at some times, you’re stuck in the situation you’re in for a while (for example: a workplace, living at home, in 1 class at school) so its not as easy to just “cut them out”. And that’s why i wrote “stop giving your energy to them”. Because THATS what the parasites are feeding on! Your energy and attention! Take that away from them and see what happens.
BUT….;
know that what I’m NOT saying is to be a stone-cold bitch who doesn’t care at all about others or their happiness. (Because honestly, doing that shows me that you’re a lot more insecure) A lot of people now would be like “but it’s not my responsibility to ensure they’re happy. They are their own person in charge of their own actions and feelings!” Sure, ok. But then don’t come whining to me about how you have no friends and how you feel so lonely and sad. ‘You’re your own person and in charge of your own feelings’, remember? So if someone decides to leave a relationship (whether it’s a friendship, or with romance) with you because you don’t make them feel happy, then don’t be surprised about that because ‘they are their own person.’
But look, i completely agree with the fact that you and every individual indeed are in charge of their own feelings and actions, but just stop and think about it for a sec; would YOU want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t give a hoot about your happiness? Yuck, no!!
So to put it in more simple/ plain terms: be KIND to people, bring smiles to peoples faces when you can (give them a compliment, help them out, listen to them, offer advice, etc.) but don’t something that compromises your own wellbeing and happiness. Cus like, how is complimenting someone’s hair or eyes gonna hurt you? If anything it would just make you happier. But also don’t live your life constantly on the edge, afraid of what he’s gonna think of you, what shes gonna say about you, etc. etc.
I guess that’s pretty much it. <3 anyyywayys i hope you enjoyed the 1st edition of the series! If you have requests, comment on this post of send an ask using the ‘tea’ button ☕️
~Brief descriptions of the animation process below the cut~
First pass with testing out the placements and eye darts first. I edited his eye shape a lot after this coz it was too big here xD His tattoo isn't properly masked as well yet
Second pass with the new eye shape >u< Testing out his smaller eye in this and making sure the pupil doesn't clip through his smaller eyelids
Third pass, eye squinttsss. I don't use plugins for my animation though, I just brute force it via a combo of position, rotation and puppet pins xD
Fourth pass with more detailed and subtle eye movements. If you squint and stare hard enough you can actually see subtle deformation for his eyelashes to have a smoother animation with the delays and drag
Fifth pass, I gave him a subtle up and down movement with his body as if from breathing but you can't really see it unless you've been staring at it as long as I have xD But it does help subconsciously to not make him feel as static. Bigger head movement for this too where he shifts position. Started parts of his hair animation too. There's puppet pins as well in his hair to do the wave motion for it alongside rotations.
Sixth pass, wheeee he got all his fluffeh hair moving x3 I animated each strand to be on the same timing first then slowly offset the keyframes one by one so that they all move on different timings for it.
Seventh pass, last WIP pass I saved before the completed one. He got yet another expression shift for this. I'm pretty happy with how he's quite flexible in his expressions from just manipulating the puppet pins and my many many layers to built him xD Annddd that's all, thanks for reading >u< / <3
Bonus note, animating in After Effects will eat your PC like nobody's business x'D 46GB just for the damn cache omggggggg It was worth animating Sukuna though~
Just came up with a new third life au where they all live on 1 floor of an apartment complex
Ren and Martyn live in single flats across the hall from eachother and both are part of the complex's Committee (Ren is the head and Martyn is his right hand man)
This means they they try to make everyone strictly adhere to the rules
They're supported by: Etho, Skizz, BigB, Impulse (to their faces but not behind theur backs) and, briefly, Joel
Martyn is also childhood friends with BigB, Grian and Jimmy and lives to the right of the flower husbands
At the other end of the corridor, Grian and Scar are 'best friends' who share a three person flat
It's person so they can fit all of their pets in, Jellie, Maui, Pearl, Bubbles (who is now a fish) and Pizza (idk what animal they are yet, suggestions are welcome)
They vehemently hate all the strict regulations, especially the ones around animals which is how all of this starts, and do everything they can to antagonise Ren and Martyn
To the right of Grian and Scar are the newlyweds, Jimmy and Scott in a two person flat, Jimmy and Grian are brothers and they have a sort of joking rivalry. The flower husbands try and stay out of the drama but after the Committee tries to force some ridiculous rules on them, join Grian and Scar in their quest
Across from the desert duo are the crastle squad, with Bdubs, Cleo and Impulse sharing that 3 person flat, they're disgruntled by the regulations and try to keep a good relationship with the Committee to avoid having a harder time. Their good relationship gives them enough sway at first to be exempt from certain rules/get rid of rules that seem silly but when Ren starts getting ridiculously strict they show their true colours in a tentative alliance with Grian and Scar. Cleo and Scott have always been close friends
Across from Scott and Jimmy and to the right of Cleo, Bdubs and Impulse are Tango and Etho, who mainly just shared because there wasn't a 5 person flat and the group wanted to split up Bdubs and Etho for... pda reasons...
Etho makes fast friends with Ren, their neighbour on the right while Tango keeps his loyalties with the crastle crew
Finally at the very end of the hall are Joel and BigB, BigB is on Ren's right and, despite being childhood friends with Grian, takes Ren's side, Joel lives across from him with all his dogs but doesn't really get too involved with the drama as he is frequently visiting his long-time partner, Lizzie on the floor above
I just realised I have no idea where Skizz lives...
That's a problem for another time.
The ships are: Treebark, Scarian, Flower Husbands, Ethubs and Shadowbeans
there’s a special place in hell for people who take the time and go through the effort of leaving negative comments on fanfics, like-- what is wrong with you, what is LEGITIMATELY wrong with you?
I’m so angry and so devastated on behalf of everyone who has been harrassed like this and who is going through something like this right now. There’s no excuse for shitty behavior - if you intentionally leave a hurtful comment on something someone created and put out there for other people’s enjoyement, for free, after spending probably HOURS if not WEEKS or MONTHS or longer on it, you’re an incredibly shitty, disgusting, miserable waste of space of a person
be better
Hey babes, sorry I've been dead, but I coulda been literally dead if I had not gone.
I didn't hurt myself and we're still figuring things out. I would love to share but I've already forgotten what I've learned. I hope I get more guidance and time for healing and learning on how to lead my life in a better direction than where I was. But that takes time and effort.
I hope to get some rest, get some support, and get it together. But right now, I don't think it's healthy for me to worry about art in the way I do now. I may not express it here, but trying to maintain my art endeavors/projects while there's so much bullshit going on backstage is not helping me. Especially since I'm not even obligated to do so. But trying to force myself to do something I am currently unable to do will just make me feel worse. I'll follow my dreams and passions one day, but I've been putting off the healing process for years.
So I guess it's better to get better now so I can get the ball rolling again. Why drive on a flat tire?
it's always sad to realize but people who never contact you first aren't your friends. i always let people into my heart very easily n it kinda comes around to bite me bc i always consider people friends even tho they aren't very friendly at all to me
