i am shitty that i finally found my long lens for the old nikon (in the secret draw in the wardrobe with the christmas work shirts and the car rego a very normal place to stash a lens) too late for the eclipse but i did get a couple of kind of fun shots off my reliably atmospheric little olympus that are really giving "ball" and i took a photo of the still massive old guy tonight and found my photos of the last? i think eclipse i sat up with some time ago to see what could have been
#when i am a little shitty i stop and think how sick the ancestors would have thought sitting at home being well fed and with enough time to#be shitty about not being able to capture the moon in the magic witch box would be#ratts complaints department#i promise i am moon'd out for now

That was such a good long eclipse, thrilled to watch the same big arse moon setting now in the perfect spot to see it from bed because it's fucking freezing

Everything is wonderfully still, it's perfect, a glad tidings type of portent and omen
🧡🌜🌚🌛🧡

Of course my darling terror is keeping any drowsiness i might have away by placing maxim pressure into the weakest part of my leg with exquisite precision

Something I need to be reminded of often. Yes, I'm very lazy and also have executive problems up the wazoo (the difference? laziness is fun), but the cultural expectation of being productive every waking moment isn't healthy either. And the business of feeding ourselves is especially fraught these days.
#the dream#i spend 25 minutes if rice and maybe one hour if soup making my dinner for the work week in bulk and even that short time i must make it as#simple as possible for myself so i dont back out of the plan and live off peanut butter toast and milk#if i could get a simple meal cooked and washed up every day or even some days i would be living so free

I thought the guys where looking very nice today with the warm sun coming in which is making it very hard to go trudge off to work
But also my lovely girl of course she's been snoring next to me all breakfast

#i do have a strong personal aesthetic and that aesthetic is decidedly cosy so the old flannel works yes it does#ratts complaints department

I know I shouldn’t use G-docs because they are apparently sniffing out dirty laundry and god knows what else but it’s so simple to drag around with me
I am
Weighing up changing the language I’m using in it to bang out my infernal ramblings though, to maybe avoid any potential of getting flagged by the ai for crimes against good taste
#The naughty monk made no move to hide the [honkhonk] and instead gleefully traced secret#words with his tongue further up the poor friars [wooOp] magnificent heat beat through their#joined [peeny] and they [silly galah] deeper still until they [sirens] covered in wasted [strewth]#in honesty I am too tired to do this and I should just find a better program that won’t spy on me as much#ratts complaints department

Turns out yeah it was no fun to use the way it was and I did need a greater selection of dusty browns to achieve inner peace
#I know it doesn’t even matter because I’m slapping a yellow/violet filter on top but I man having the infinite choice of the colour wheel#stresses me out so much so I don’t mind spending some time organising the colours in a way I know I’ll find them easily#ratts complaints department

I know this is mad but I’m a huge fan of the palette system for digital work since I don’t have to fiddle to find the Correct red shade for blushing cheeks but after many years they were a huge frigging rats nest so I was very brave and culled a bunch of duplicates and consolidated the rest in a way I can navigate

Maybe not so brave so as to delete the mass of useful-beige palettes yet but a strong effort all the same
#guys I just love to put things into the correct place#what is the correct place here and why did the correct order change today? we just don’t know#I do know that the coding that lets you move the boxes around is fucked and will make you loose your hair if you haven’t already which is#how mine got so bogged down#anyway boy do I ever favour a warm tone huh#and the correct shade most of the time for blushing cheeks is always more orange or purple than I think it is which is where this selection#of egg shell colours come from which I think I could use some more work since I can see I chopped too many medium tones that I’ll want later#ratts complaints department

Dear diary, yes I’m posting 1 wip/h but on top of being slow to draw I have to keep pausing to scream at this slab of a man in his current form
#I think I’ve been putting Duke to paper for a decade now and yes he does seem to get bigger each time#he’s got short legs this time though? I’m keeping it? he’s a seal??#I might do Casey less weeny than normal as well to make it easier to stand them together listen I’m just playing dolls#rattscraps

Ive been in the kitchen blunt force traumaing my way through a feast of sweet spuds and was asked if I'm struggling (financially)
Brother, i am feeling blessed. In less than an hour, I will be slamming my mouth full of hot salty oily apples of the earth. May a man not dine on a plate of potats for the joy of it?
#i hate to cook though thats the real reason were doing a tray full of something i can forget in the oven for a while#food mention#ratts complaints department

23 years old and I just made the connection that people on the northern hemisphere have a different view of the moon than people on the southern hemisphere.
#I know this happens and I can strongly manifest the apple on the how-does-your-imagination-work scale but#so help me I can not picture the moon rolling like it must in the north#also I’m down in nsw and my grandfather used to swear when the moon came up sideways horns down rain was going to pour out of it like a cup

I always swing between: there’s no way this character will have tattoos because I do NOT want to draw them nicely always and more over I WILL forget to add them
And: do I know a single adult human whomst does not have a tattoo? Even my cats have tattoos… I’m going to have to give this character a fucking tattoo
And so I have created this wicked little thing, for now
