i feel like you guys only hear about the bad tiktok phenomenon, like Girl Math and stuff like that, bc it prompts more of a reaction. but i want to let you know that i keep seeing one that's called Dinosaur Time, and it's where you SHOVE fistfuls of raw spinach, straight out of the tub, into your mouth and eat it like you're a dinosaur ravenously devouring a delicious tree star. and then you've had a serving of greens. and all it took was 10 beautiful seconds.

*Vet and Mech seem... unstable at best. But Gen at least seems determined to keep Rainbow alive, so he probably wouldn't let them take it too far. Probably...*

[Labs!Rainbow appears on the cold floor, disoriented and frightened...in a flash, he's alert and on his fingers again. This place...is nothing like Viridis' home...]

*The place he's in is a hallway with white tile floor and white painted walls. The lights are far too bright. The air is cold. It smells of cleaning products, chemicals and blood...*

*... its a lab.*

Playing around with the lasso tool, stylisation and trying to teach myself how basic lighting works

This was kind of fun

"Sure...likewise...? (is this some kind of trap..?)" "Did.. hold on were you following me through the bushes?—"

"Don't worry about it! Come 'nd sit, we can all chat!"

1, 3, 9, 12 for the love ur fandom asks <3 !!

💜💜💜💜

1. list 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

people leave comments on fics. genuinely for me the biggest honor is just to know that eyes have been on them, but getting the comments is always nice and how you make friends (it’s how I made my two closest thg besties, lol). proportionally for the amount of readership I have and size of the audience for the pairing, I get a lot. I am very grateful for that.

kind of alluded to this earlier but people tend to approach each other in good faith and try to understand where the other party is coming from during discussions or disagreements.

people seem to be pretty trigger happy with the block button. this is excellent bc this mindset avoids so many petty issues and problems, it’s why I’m so trigger happy with it - no point in arguing on the internet, you’ll never change anyone’s mind, and I’m really glad that that’s the outlook overall at least based on the number of people that have me blocked lmaoooo

3. a character that fandom has helped you appreciate

that fandom specifically has helped me appreciate? probably Mrs. Everdeen

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

I think we need more toxic polycules in thg ngl. so a shoutout to my favorite, which is Annie/Johanna/Finnick. that is fucking bizarre and they are so weird and I love writing them almost more than writing just odesta

12. compliment someone else in your fandom

a compliment for you! your hcs are consistently some of my favorites in this fandom, they’re so well thought out and interesting. I always love seeing what you have to say!

love your fandom asks

The OCs you posted recently look really cool- could you talk a bit about them? Maybe the antagonists as well?

!! oh thank you :D

suuure yea :>> it's a smaller, newer thing of mine so not a lot n some of it may change!! but here's some profiles lol,

✧ Tide (the square head; they/them) is some sort of creature thing who lives in a remnant of an old world that decayed a long time ago after finding themself trapped there (that changes after they meet the goddess). they're head over heels for the goddess that still remains in the corridors there and they're not very normal about it hbfhvs - they can't be killed by any regular shmegular means and i have fun with that loll

✧ Vernor (ponytail gal; she/her) i don't have a lot for her, but she ended up in the same place Tide did and is very upset about it, understandably. she's good a martial arts and cries easily, and is pretty suspicious of most strangers :) she has a small knife-thing that works like a witch's broom (you have to hold the little handle for dear life though lmao) but i haven't gotten around to drawing it so !

✧ Dire (red circle; he/him) was created by the aforementioned goddess to dump emotions/thoughts she didn't want into, and then just sent him on his way lmfvhsh - because of that he is confused most of the time and still pretends to know everything but is figuring things out for real lol :3👍he hates to change his clothing and is snappy, and the snappiness may get worse on personal proximity hbfshv

^ these three have a Thing goin on. mostly qpp cuz i think it's fun :33

✧ Sleepy (the antagonist, he/him) the elusive guy. elusive bc i haven't drawn him lmfsh - another budy trapped in this old chunk of a dead world, he is also upset about it but to a much more desperate extent lol - his name isn't actually Sleepy but Tide nicknamed him that when they first met and now he can't seem to shake it hfsh, he Does hate it :) he is violent but he can play nicies so he does that most time loll

✧ the goddess (only thing holding this world together, She/her/it (capitalization is optional :3)) has been here for ages, ages, ages. her world's been long dead but she just keeps living for the monotony of it hfsh; plus, it's like her job never ended if she just keeps doing the same regular things she always did. bc of that it's actually preserved her chunk of annihilation, and sucks other creatures in w/o her knowing. the chunk is like a maze that keeps changing shape, so unless you can see it from a god's eyes the place is iiiiiinfinite! and terrible; the place changes to her moods and wishes, which can be interpreted p strangely lol :3 she's talked to and kept Tide around bc she needed somebody to deal with all these weird people coming into her dang house, and it's worked out fairly well (dubious)! :D

the world-chunk is inspired by vaporwave, abandoned malls, and the distinct smell of chlorine my mother has sometimes loll :)

So what's your LEAST favorite pigment?

oooooh... let me see.

i don't think i have any one particular pigment that i dislike ALL of the time—watercolor can be temperamental, and the difference between using a transparent vs opaque color really can change the entire experience. they even dry differently, depending on what color you're using and with what materials. i can't really speak to oils or acrylics though since i've only used those in passing. (i do want to get into oils at some point... it's a gorgeous medium.)

if i absolutely had to pin down a specific pigment or pigment type that i don't particularly enjoy using myself, it... miiight be the cadmiums? yellow, red, orange, it doesn't matter. i know a lot of artists love them to death and they're even a staple on a lot of palettes, but the opacity and toxicity of them just puts them lower down on the list of the pigments i would usually reach for. (as long as you aren't eating them or inhaling the pigment itself handling cadmiums is usually okay-ish, but i prefer to err on the side of caution.)

that's not to say that i outright hate them, i've used them once or twice. but if i have an alternative to cadmium red (pr108) on hand like pyrol red (pr254) or something, i'd rather reach for that. especially since it can make cleaner mixes! (colors that are really opaque tend to get muddy easier, which is also the reason people hear 'don't mix with white, just dilute it' all the time. pyrol red is still opaque, but yk.)

for a while, cadmiums and the like were the only way you could get really true, lightfast and vibrant colors of whatever category they occupied, but there are so many other alternatives now that i find fun to explore and more comfortable to work with.

that said, it makes more sense in general to just play it by ear and see what colors speak to you. pr206 isn't exactly a perfect all-purpose mixing red, but that doesn't stop it from being one of my favorite colors of all time lol. and warmer reds do have a much smaller selection than cooler toned reds do!

(also, not a huge fan of colors that are incredibly hard to rewet, like true viridian (pg18) or potters pink (pr233) even if i do find their shades delicately pretty and really unique. working with them can be frustrating if you aren't using them directly from the tube. some brands are better about that than others though! and both of those are kind of bad examples anyway bc i think they're gorgeous when allowed to granulate on cold or rough press paper, in mixes or on their own.

ultramarine blue (pb29) sometimes has a similar issue actually, but the color is so intense that it remains a staple for me anyway lol. sucker for certain classics ig.)

What's your favourite studying method? Ex. Mind mapping, active recall, feynman technique, etc.

read class materials and take notes

do as much practice as possible so I’m applying the stuff and not just straight memorizing

[venomgaia]

A mutual acquaintance is wondering how one would go about commissioning you...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you anon! My brain has been alternating between being goo and keeping extremely busy.

I mostly prefer being contacted via email (venomgaia@gmail.com) if you have a clear idea of what you want n lots of references or don't mind a slower response time, and i SHOULD have dms open if you have a vaguer idea but want easier/quicker back-and-forthing during the process.

I used to take commissions through my ko-fi, but there was a monthly fee to be able to do so at the time so I've stopped taking them through ko-fi directly and mostly work through paypal invoices. I also don't like taking payment upfront, so I allow them to be paid off little by little!

so at work today I’m IDing a bunch of mosquitoes that are going to be used to test a method of extracting DNA to ID what species they are which means my IDs need to be 100% accurate or I’ll completely fuck up the whole experiment which is ummmm a lot of pressure lol
