#basically status update

[lemurblog]

i've got TWO ASKS to answer that i'm really excited about, they're some of my favorite topics. however i care too much - i may have given myself writer's block on them a bit.

[pinacoladamatata]

trying a very different approach to color ala tim mcburnie style and it's making me melt. figured i'd share it bc Idk it's more complicated but I like the way it's making me think/plan

thumbnail and rough sketch that i liked so much i turned it into....

and then made several color thumbnails/messed around w them for awhile

until finally settled on this one

and then

so the current foliage lines look like this and they're on 11 different layers (i'll merge some to be back, mid and forground in a bit)

(i also started on solas' head just ignore it for now)

and next step is really spend more time on the construction layer for lavellan and the wolf statue (solas is ready to be lined bc i drew him first)

then color with flats using quick masks instead of by hand like i'm used to c:

this is all wayyyy more layers than i'm used to but I do kind of like it so far; particularly the color thumbnail and construction layer/phase part

[askthebsaa]

So… Where have we been for the last 3 days???

So its both Rebecca and Parker here! He’s gonna do his own text thing below- Chris kinda locked us out of the account? Plus, almost everyone else is on missions and ops… I swear we’re not ignoring you guys! We love the amount of support we’ve gotten over such a short time! But yeah, noted for future us- Don’t let a sleep deprived Chris onto Tumblr without Parker supervision…

With “Doctor High Hopes�� now done with the pleasantries, we are gonna end up scaling back on answering asks (mostly due to how busy everyone’s been), so don’t freak out if no one answers an ask for a day or two. If we can’t keep getting the main gang together for bigger asks (Jake is AWOL being a merc, Chris runs the joint, etc.) we’re gonna see if we can get others in the BSAA, such as our interns, along with possibly the DSO and TerraSave (if we ever find Claire’s new number…). That way people can still ask questions without waiting for Jill to get back from Miami or something. That doesn’t mean stop asking! Hell, ask more. It’ll get our asses in gear to sit down and actually answer. Reblog or ask or whatever! Any support helps!

Hope you guys have an amazing day, and thanks again for all the love!

Part of trying to think of a modern times AU is accepting that Emma is the Victorian equivalent of the girl who married her high-school sweetheart right after graduation

[koa-z]

I don't think I'm aromantic but I think I need a partner who is capable of entertaining themselves and that's just not how the vast majority of people are, if that makes sense?

does anyone else feel this way?

I keep getting so anxious my mind fogs up and I can't think.

[homunculus-argument]

Finland has mandatory military service for all able-bodied men. The summons come to every man on the year they turn 18, and your service status is visible on your government records - whether you've done your service, are yet to be summoned, or deemed excempt from service and for what reasons. Even if you're blind, deaf, in a wheelchair and cognitively impaired, you still need to show up for the evaluation, though ideally you'll already have a doctor's note for the occasion that basically just says "I mean just fucking look at this guy", and the military doctor will look at you and go "yeah" and sign you off as unfit for service for the time being.

And if you get your legal gender changed, your military status updates accordingly. When I got my gender marker changed to male in my late 20s, I automatically showed up in the government systems as an adult male who has not done military service yet, and I got summons the same year. However, back then being transgender was a diagnosis that you need a doctor's evaluation on, and being trans was one of those medical conditions that give you the option to opt out of service - in the "you can go if you think you can handle it" way, but you have no obligation to volunteer. So I didn't.

I met a friend recently who mentioned that he's going to wait a few years yet before getting his gender legally changed, so he can age out of the conscription system and avoid summons altogether. I said that I was released from service due to trans diagnosis, and asked if he can't do so as well. He said no - the law has been changed since I transitioned, and now that you no longer require a medical diagnosis to be trans, it is also not a diagnosis that'd make you excempt from the military.

So the finnish government basically just said "if you're a grown man with nothing wrong with you, then you're a grown man with nothing wrong with you. Now grab this fucking gun and do your duty for fatherland."

URGENT HELP 🙏 "Please help my sick son before its too late, he needs 2000$ as urgent help for the healthy food, tent and other necessaries" 🙏

⚠️⚠️New worse update "9th, Dec: 🙏🙏I appeal to every living conscience and merciful heart to look at us with mercy and hasten to help us and alleviate our suffering.🙏🙏 Please don't leave my sick son Ahmed alone.🥹🥹⚠️⚠️

💔My sick son is starving, he's getting worse, his disease worsen his health.💔 The donations we've received so far is too low, I haven't managed to buy a new waterproof tent, blankets and clothes for my sick son, he is quivering daily, feeling very cold .

Also I can't buy necessaries, it's unimaginably expensive, the price of flour 25 kg is about 300$. Imagine that we haven't eaten even a loaf of bread for ages, vegetables are about 15$- 20$/kg.

Previous update: My sick son is in dire need of your help and donations, 18 days with total donations of 482€, 😞😞his curren disease worsen his health more and more and his immunity has become more fragile, taking into consideration that the weather is extremely cold in the tent.😞😞 My little son Ahmed needs your help to get better.⚠️⚠️

🙏🙏I'm sure you won't let him alone, so come on, help him and donate kindly🙏🙏

🚨🚑🚨Please help my innocent sick son evacuate from Gaza, his health status is on the line.🚨🚑🚨

🙏🙏♥️My little innocent son Ahmad wants to convey a message "through a video👇" for you, hoping that it touches your compassionate hearts and donate to help him.🙏🙏♥️

Hi! I'm Mohammed Al-Habil,31 years old. I have a family of 3 members.

I'm from Gaza but I've got displaced so many times from Gaza. I've got injured in the first week of this ongoing war, since that time I've been forced to leave my home to UNRWA center as a shelter. The nightmare hasn't finished, my dad has got killed in the fourth month of the war, leaving my mum and two sisters so we've taken responsibility of them in addition to my family.

This nightmare "war" has taken everything, my dad, my work, my belongings, my home which has been destroyed, my peaceful life, my peace of mind, everything!

We live in extremely hard circumstances. We have no water, no healthy food, no electricity, no healthy place, no source of money, no health care, nothing!

We live in an unhealthy environment full of diseases. I live in a tent that neither protects us from sunshines nor protects us from rain. I need a new waterproof tent which costs 1000$, my current tent is made from clothes, it doesn't protect us from rain and cold, I'm sure you'll help.

I've faced so many diseases including hepatitis and viral infection "causing fever" due to unhealthy food and environment. The food we eat is canned food although it is unhealthy and expensive.

In addition to that, my wife has faced hepatitis due to dirty bathrooms, unhealthy food and unhealthy environment we live in.

In addition to that my little innocent son, 2 years and 10 months old, has had an operation on his eyes. In brief, my life has become a miserable nightmare!

⚠️🚑Urgent medical update about my little innocent son, his health status is getting worse and worse.🚨 Recently my little son has visited the clinic, he has been suffering from a urinary tract infection "he has taken a medicine, co-trimoxazole" and this is as a result of the only canned food he eats because we can't buy healthy food.🚑⚠️

We are about to face famine, basic goods are extremely expensive even vegetables are extremely expensive and we can hardly find them.

Some kinds of food aren't available, for example, egg, baby formula, frozen meat, bottles of water. Prices are higher nowadays.

👉👉👉My campaign "pinned post" has been shared by @sayruq @a-shade-of-blue @gazavetters , so it's completely legitimate.👈👈👈

🚨⚠️Btw, my current vetted campaign is moving extremely slowly, donations are very few, low funds, so could you spread my vetted campaign and donate even little amount of money?

😞517€ out of 50k€ after 21 days😔⚠️🚨

We need more donations. Please boost my fundraiser "campaign".

My campaign is ✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #298 )✅️

So please donate and help my little son and family.

Your donation helps us!

I forgot to update here again didn't I

So uh... Random status update out of the blue, my computer has decided to terminate being nice to me and the battery is now dead, effectively rendering me incapable of fetching this month's Jun magma image files for a polished one by one showcase I intended and making it impossible to use my also dying drawing tablet so uh...

Fun :)

I'm not sure how much it will cost or if I can currently afford repairing this piece of overpriced metal, even if I desperately need it to function like a being, but I'll have to take the inactivity leave I was kinda already in and turn it into officially rendered unable to use my stuff-

Hopefully not much will get skewered by this (besides my wallet on whom I've already committed crimes on), but I'll make sure to try to remember to update if I get the laptop fixed

[koa-z]

ok so i KNOW that when you decide to look alternative, you should expect for some people to react negatively bc like. It's sth they can see, and it's not accepted as normal.

but like I did not expect the sheer number of fragile heterosexual men who would be moved to screaming by the trauma of seeing my pink hair
