Part of why I think it's important to pick up a skill that requires challenge or skill is not only that it can be a great experience to have, but it teaches you so many things you never expected.

I've realized the reason I feel ancient crocheting is that this is a skill humans have been doing for thousands of years: textiling, cloth-making, and creating. Technology is amazing, don't get me wrong, but I think many people take for granted what technology has done for us, and we forget sometimes that these skills take work and effort, and continuous effort!

It doesn't matter what you pick up as a skill or craft, and you absolutely should do it in a way that accommodates you, but finding a skill or craft and doing it will teach you things you never considered.

#art #crafting #i think this is partially why you have dingheads saying 'ooh but how can ANCIENT people making BEAUTIFUL and COMPLEX art/buildings!'#watched somebody like 'oh but this cathedral is so beautiful and huge; why do we believe that these people built it without technology HMMM'#like. this is a fine craft we all over the globe have been doing for millenia. why CAN'T people 700-1000+ years before us do that?#why do you look at people through the lens of 'inherently inadequate unless i deem them 'sufficient' enough'?#picking up a textile art has really helped change my perspective personally #because i live in this world where you aren't... required to think about textiles like a textile artist or maker would #and when you DO think about it it tends to be how capitalism fucking destroys everything in its vicinity (eg fast fashion)#anyway just a point i don't think people tend to consider #i think i just like feeling ancient; like my bones yearn for the earth's gentle embrace surrounded by artifacts

was having "what if isat was in german" thoughts again and came upon a horrific thought:

can you teehee in german?

with that spelling... surely not. could you spell it as tihi for the same effect? would a hypothetical german loop need to hihi instead?

much to think about.....

#feli speaks #i think it would need to be hihi. tihi is just too slighty off. hihi is Established #imagining l_teehee_2.png before my mind's eye going hihi and it works i think. yes i can hear it. it works #taking away the teehee feels fundamentally wrong but translation requires sacrifices #now the question is would the nickname be sternenstaub or do i try and find something with a diminutive #cuz you KNOW loop would use the diminutive #sternchen... however then the ''you're all that's left i suppose'' convo doesn't work anymore #unless that was also changed.... i do like the sound of sternenstaub though #mein kleines sternenstäubchen!#hm. that's a lot of syllables. needs workshopping

honestly my real opinion on ai is not even from an ethical standpoint. my opinion on ai is that because it isn't actually artificial intelligence that is a misnomer it's not intelligent and it doesn't think it is therefore just plain not good at most of what we're currently using it for outside of like hyperspecific applications that i know nothing about and never will. it simply can't do the job man.

#jack facts #and this isn't an argument about what constitutes ''real'' art either it's about technical skill #the ability to self correct; improve; make requested changes; do something that hasn't already been done before or do it in a new way; etc #it just. it can't do it. it can't do the job.#and like laymen using it to make fanart or oc art or whatever like i don't really care that much #like i absolutely think you're tacky and a big whiner and i don't respect you but i don't think you're A Bad Person #unless you're dishonest about it and trying to pass off ai as self-made in which case you're the same as someone who reposts imo #but like as far as like industry ai. like the ethics of usage are complicated but i honestly don't care because the stuff is garbage anyway #whether it's ''art'' or not it will never be skillful and it will never innovate. it is low quality and it is boring.#it can't not be low quality and boring. skilled and interesting are literally beyond its parameters that's just the facts.#so truly there is absolutely no point in using it for anything that requires skill or interest.#or like. representing concepts. expressing an idea etc. those things can't be replicated only shapes/color/letters can.#which is honestly part of the reason why i don't even have any interest in caring more about the ethical aspect #it's not going to last for very long because it doesn't work. it just doesn't work! it can't do that!#anyway.#reading process #writing process #soc

Some more of Shirley. She and Lenard were intended to be a duet except they didn’t do that. Instead Shirley wandered off onto the we fixed it set and immediately did a bit with Ray.

He had NEVER been briefed on her existing so he just helplessly went along with the bit until the crew stopped them bc it was wasting film.

*bats my eyelashes in “would love to ramble about her”*

#my friendly neighborhood #mfn #mfn game #mfn oc #Shirley (oc)#i need to settle on an actual outfit for her #but also part of my HCs are the puppets are able to change clothes #like the clothes aren’t attached. but they just never changed clothes unless required for a film

nothing changes unless you do + change requires hard work

what do you mean the hightower is taller than the wall

#WHAT #what s up with oldtown and everything about it #the tower is built atop a structure the origin of which no one knows #it's taller than the wall #its fire somehow gets green in times of war #some say it's wildfire but that requires spells #so #again #a mystery #every time i learn something about it and its house i get more confused #i wanna see the interior of that thing #im assuming it's a proper home if the hightowers live in it #unless im reading margaery's quote wrong #walking up and down that thing must be torture #hightowers must have legs for dies #thighs that kill confirmed #who the hell is in charge of going up there to keep the flame going and change its color #AAAAA

Inquiring minds would like to know, if Modern Eri shapeshifts into Reimu, Keine, Flandre, Seiga, etc., does he copy their pussy too?

"..."

"Well, now I'm not doing it."

#The answer is no #Because he's never seen them before #I think the only one he might be able to change accurately to is most likely Nyalter's for obvious reasons #Maybe Flan for Discord AU #Otherwise he'll probably stick to 'his own' (aka Fuyuki's)#And unless it's muscle memory or required he won't go out his way to learn something like THAT for absolutely NO reason at all #muse: eri

where can we read claws?

hi anon - claws is currently very much a work in progress, so there's nowhere (yet) to read the whole thing.

the tag for it is wip: claws, which you can scroll through to see all the snippets I've posted so far!

when it's done, my plan (as is my plan for all my books atm) is to self publish on itch.io or similar. for claws i might also post serially on AO3, as it's fic-tropey-adjacent enough to fit there

#ty for asking tho! makes me feel good that people are interested in the story!!#space answers #ngl tho claws is the only book i do daydream about tradpub for #just bc i do think it's unique enough that it would work well there #but i do not have the emotional energy or burning desire to do all the work that tradpub requires #(bc by 'selfpub' i mean: format an ebook and throw it up somewhere for PWYW. i am not doing marketing i hate marketing)#(unless i change my mind. anything can happen)#anyway these tags are wildly off topic. claws is a fun book ask me more about claws!!#wip: claws

just applied for the job i had during college and honestly it feels bad man

everyone I know is actually accomplishing things with their life, buying property, getting promotions, getting their masters etc

fuck, even my cousin who is several years younger than me and has very little to no college (aka doesn’t have student loan debt) just got a management position at a fortune 100 company and is now making more than 60k

And where am I now?

Couldn’t do my job at the big company I was supposed to work at, where I had insurance and got paid enough to actually pay for things

all I do now is feeding horses and basically just putting them in different places 4 hours a day 6 days a week for less than what I made ever since I started working and living off that and what’s left of what I had accumulated in my 401k at my old job (that im gonna have to pay thousands of taxes on for taking it out too early im sure) and therefore fucking myself over for the future- everyone always says start young well I did and I’m too fucking useless to function without wanting to remove my skin apparently so I fucked that up

And yeah it was just an online application so I don’t know how likely it is they’ll even respond and hire me again but I feel like I am going backwards

I did what everybody always insisted I had to do

i went to college

i got a “real” (office) job

i got more than 25k student loan debt I have not been able to make even a dent in

and what do i have to show for it? even worse mental illness? A piece of paper that said i went to college? Crippling fear of answering a phone? an extreme hate for the way I look now?

and now im (at least attempting) to go back to where I was before all that bc that’s the only place i can think of will hire me, to a job I did not enjoy whatsoever, where I am going to have to explain to the high schoolers that would be working closing shift that I will have to do after the morning job like yeah i left here 3 years ago for a competitive job that paid twice as much at one of the (apparently voted) best employers in the city that everyone wants to work for but I threw it all away bc im a useless fucking idiot and now I’m back here working fast food watching all these people who will go to school and get the jobs they want and not fuck it up and actually be successful and move on with their lives

it just,,, it doesn’t feel good

i feel like I’ll never get anywhere so what’s even the point

#and I know you’re probably thinking oh well you have horses you must have plenty of money etc #thing is i work at the place i keep them i do not pay regular price or I would not afford them at all #I’ve only ended up with as many as i have bc at my old #job i made just enough to not be negative every month #and now I can’t get rid of them because I am afraid to talk to people and ended up very attached to one we got with the intention to sell #after a few months #and the other we have had for 10 years now but she would need to be consigned somewhere to get what she’s worth #which requires /talking to people/#so while I previously could just about afford them I can’t now unless something majorly changes #once i run out of what’s left of my 401k i will not have the money to pay for them #yes i know buying ghost tickets with that was an idiotic thing to do but it temporarily made me happy #which is also another reason i want to try to avoid getting rid of the horses if at all possible #sounds stupid but at this point without them there would really be no point in being here #they’re the only reason I talk to anybody at all these days and they are capable of making me happy #im sorry i feel like i have been complaining on here a lot more frequently lately and i don’t think anybody wants to see shit like this on #their dash but i don’t really have anywhere else to say things #anybody irl always just says ‘well other people did x/it was your decision to y/etc #the shitty insurance I have now does not cover anxiety/depression things I have not been taking any and I have a feeling it is not helping #delete later

yes im still writing my stone ocean rewrite no this is not a sufficient backlog whatsoever

#soda offers you a can #still on chapter 7 but im getting through the worst parts of it #im also motivated by chapter 8 being something completely different and not requiring me to rewrite stocean stuff #i might go through my early notes again and see if i can maybe drop some arcs that aren't like. hyper relevant plot wise #bc im gonna be real gang as much as i wanna be faithful to the source material i fucking hate rewriting canon shit #the more i can change about them the better sure but they also slow me down immensely #so unless we have groundbreaking shit going on from the protagonists' POV i might just. skip an arc or two #marilyn manso might be on the chopping block next. maybe.#i have it planned sure and i put some plot relevance into it but i think i can also move it elsewhere #it really doesn't need a stand fight to occur #i am rambling! im gonna go get another slice of pizza now

Mastodon when someone has followed me: Oh maybe they're cool, but I'm shy, so they have to answer my three riddles before I confirm.

Tumblr when someone has followed me: You may have changed your av, but I know you're a porn bot. Say "Penis".

#Clearly I need to make one of the Mastodon Requirements that the person say “Penis” first #Not Endorsing Mastodon #This is entirely based on the fact that this and Masto are virtually the only social media I use #What can I say Unless you count my Hades Reblogs I am not a particularly notable poster here #I'm joking but stop giving advice to newbies to change their av and add shit to their blog because now the spammers do that too

i appreciate tobys apparent refusal to make deltarune in a standard 16:9 aspect ratio that makes probably even less sense to do than it did in 2015. its not even actually higher resolution than undertale was either it’s just the default window size is bigger practically no advancements were made in that very specific field. This probably only makes things slightly more complicated every time they port the game because they have to add the border things but i like the border things theyre cute

#i wish deltarune had more border things actually. i think theres only like 2 in chapter 1 one for light world and dark world #so even with the borders that change based on area the entire card kingdom still shows a picture of castle town...#and even in chapter 2 they still only made like 3 borders. so in the sneo fight the borders just turn off because none were fitting #they should have made more if i want the cool borders i want the cool borders where did they go.#This should technically be irrelevant to me because i only played the switch version of the demo because it was free.#i dont think i would actually spend money on it unless the situation really does require i buy the game twice #but i want there to be 1 million little picture frames for the video game for me to look at #mypost

Another Izzy Hands bingo card square is both done and actually posted too lmaooo. Prompt is the title because I just. Could not title today, forgive me.

#text post #izzyhandsbingo #am I going to try and wrestle my feelings from losing my job today (tho it wasn't exactly a loss bc I resigned bc #they changed the structure and requirements of the job and so it wasn't going to work unless we compromised and they weren't willing to #which is fine bc plenty of other ppl have to leave jobs due to things like that every day but like also. god. but I digress)#yes i am absolutely going to try and shove those feelings into as many fics as possible #so I can both hopefully kind of deal with said feelings and get bingo prompts done at the same time

Part one of the outfit spreads: Evie! She tends to lean extremely girly/pink to the point where it’s bordering on silly, except while working, during which she would like her appearance to be noticed as little as possible. She owns a few pairs of heels but doesn’t actually wear them very often since she’s already 6′0″ without them and it’s also a pain to find shoes in size 11.5 anyway.

#oc: evie anderson #fantasyland theme park universe #when she's working at the park she ends up wearing more of her fun casual summer clothes for customer facing stuff #and whatever garbage clothes for stretches of cleaning/decorating for nightmareland in october/maintenance #and doing social media management does not require any special outfit unless she's in a video herself (rare)#anyway i had fun drawing her in different bras (none/everyday/sports/pushup)#i'm having fun messing around with actually showing how different outfits change her whole silhouette and it's something she's very aware of #she's extremely conscious of the way she looks/acts/comes across and plays into how she's trying to come across #which comes off as annoying to some of her friends #(and malcolm is like 'oh thank god another normal person who only wears one colors and is a social chameleon')#shanart #drawing #flat color
