if anyone seeing this post is under the impression that not attending university lectures is fun and edgy. let me paint you a picture. you are going to look at your calendar one day soon and realise your final is in 38 hours and you still have 17 and a half hour long lectures to watch and take notes from.. and while this is possible to achieve it's not exactly relaxing. yeah i'm still fine-tuning my academic skills what abt it
#aha. ahahaa. ahahaaa.#no okay HEAR ME OUT. this is actually the best position i've been in all year academically 💔 i've taken every final so far this year w/o#having seen any lectures... & in my defense i wasn't skipping bc i thought it was fun or edgy. the real reasons are just too fucked up#to explain. i still wish that i had been better this term. i wish i had been able to make things turn out differently. i am always wishing#but now the only thing left to do is try my best with the time i have left and start again next year#anyway here is an insight into the strange and terrible grief that is my academic life.#so far it is a life mostly full of mistakes. but i will not give up.#it will continue. things will improve.#🐝#SORRY ABT THIS RANT. DIDNT MEAN TO SAY SO MUCH#this was ... supposed to be a joke post#DONT WORRY ABT ME I HAVENT FAILED ANYTHING YET AND IM NOT INTENDING TO START NOW

Here are some Season 2 Arcane GIF comparisons before and after I color and sharpen them! | Season 1 Comparison GIFs
#arcane#arcaneedit#gifmaking#reminder that if ur not a fan of the coloring and sharpening then i dont need to hear ur opinion so fuck off and make your own gifs :)#sooo yeah!!! just sharing this very old coloring comparison i use from time to time to make sure i follow a certain peg for my gifs#but i dont really follow it to the T of course#and now i will use the tags to rant/comment about my coloring process lmao#ok so.... arcane s2 is SOOOOO much brighter than s1 i am so so so thankful we have such bright scenes instead of all the dark ones in s1#because it makes my life so much easier#that being said my coloring isnt really perfect i still cant handle more complex tones like the mel gif......#i used to have a more stylized coloring wayyy back in s1 (esp when u look at my old gifs) but i kinda realized i had to change it#so i scrapped all my old psds and now coloredit EVERYTHING MANUALLY#hence why sometimes i gif the same scene but theyre colored different since i never use a preset PSD now#however it became way more tedious to make gifs... so yeah.... lmao#but in the end i like it more!!! i like that my new coloring just basically matches the show more but is just brighter and more saturated#unless ofc i dont like the tones of the original show i.e. the vi gif you see there where its super green gray???? idk i dont like it so#i recolored the entire thing#anyways thats really it coloring will always be something i continue to try to improve on but recently ive just been v busy so i just#speed color and edit everything and dont rlly take all adjustments into account so no more complex tones and#i just stick to basic things#oh right sharpening! so for sharpening i use a very basic setting: just 500 px and 0.4 radius which is what i use for almost everything#i also dont add noise bc the landscape photographer in me does NOT like it LMFAOOOOOOOOOO#but yeah thats really it for sharpening oh i also use 4k sources as much as possible bc it gives the best quality and if#i cant find any source i just upscale everything by myself then crop stuff again back to 540 px and imo it really just does look better#personal tag

Comment or reblog with specific classes since there's way too many for one poll. Of course plenty of people level everything but for the lore of it, what do you consider the main one?
If you can't narrow it down to 1, how did you get to those 2+ classes? A reaper who discovered a love of song and became a bard? A botanist on a revenge quest after losing their family? A culinarian who couldn't find what they needed on the market and said fine I'll get it myself?
Optional prompts to think about: Did they grow up learning that class? Fresh in it in MSQ? What do they think of their guild, past or current? Are the class quests even part of your story? If their primary class is a newer one, do they feel bad about giving up their old primary?
#ffxiv#healer#dps#tank#pick your class#final fantasy xiv#polls#ffxiv polls#MCH/RDM perviously BRD#Riona grew up learning archery#leaves Gridania as a teenager and continues#MSQ starts with her return to Gridania to join the guild and improve her skills#things go sideways from there#upon reaching Ishgard she's a little charmed by Stephanivien and joins the machinists#Riona never considered herself a healer and thinks she'd be too uncontrolled with offensive magic#but X'rhun taught her balance and control she never thought she'd have#and when Arya came into the picture she couldn't stand the thought of her being alone#wol questions#wol ramblings#unleashing another poll on the masses

Uhh post canon Barney
Man who has not had a break since the rescas and refuses to start now. Alyx and Gordon are hiding his gear as we speak while Kleiner distracts him.
I was sposed to do Alyx too but I blinked and it was 3 am so. Next time
Oh also I forgot to make a note but he does carry a sidearm
#no reposting#ok ramble time because i have some Thoughts#subject to change..#okay so like#Barney is a few things. imo. one he's s good leader and protector. two hes a creature of habit.#Barney has always kind of stuck in one area of work.. from security guard to civil protection officer to white forest sentry#hell even as a field commander during the uprising half of his combat is essentially point defense and backing Gordon up#which like yeah thats just gameplay stuff but this is an intentional reading of his character so just. shh#anyways#Barney never really stops being some kind of guard. the context in which he operates changes of course but its still the same general role#maybe its a subconscious attempt at maintaining normalcy. maybe its just all he feels hes good at. regardless its what he does.#and its what he continues to do.#that's what feels right to him thats whats natural to him so he might as well do it.#i think part of Barney's brain hasn't really caught up to the idea that things really are improving.#like he Knows it and he's happy about it but it doesn't feel natural after spending half of his life under the combine.#his body still thinks hes in danger#okay im eepy#half life fanart#barney calhoun#half life 2#half life furry au#half life

cant stop singing sans and papyrus animatic i left very unfinished more than a year ago
my style has changed A LOT and im still without a proper animation program but this thing calls me like the goblin mask, should i try to finish it sometime?
#undertale#sans#papyrus#basically i made this in krita#but NOOO not using the built in animation feaure krita has because i have NO IDEA HOW TO USE THAT#i instead just went LAYER BY LAYER one at a time each drawing being a different frame#basically EYEBALLING all the animated bits and momentum#and then putting it together in capcut for pc#that way of doing things was terrible btw and so unconventional and partly contributed as to why i didnt continue#the final nail in the coffin was technically me being too busy at the end of the schoolyear and afterwards my style improving so much#the contrast would be jarring (idrc about that anymore i think it'd be cute seeing the improvement LMAO)#but the REAL nail in the coffin rn is CAPCUT SUCKING ASS#ITS SO SLOW EVERYTHING IS A PRO FEATURE NOW AND AI FEATURES ARE LITTERED EVERYWHERE#got so angry (because ive got an assignment to put together in an editing program) i looked for alternatives#found davinci resolve#it was a PAIN to set up because finding the actual dot exe file and not just reinstalling it again and again by accident#was like trying to find the fucking one piece#since it was such a travesy i just opened it#got absolutely INTIMIDATED and FLOORED by the completely unfamiliar layout#and dropped it for today at least#any davincis in the chat is the program any good#or at least any forgiving to complete clueless newbies :sob:#anyway so yeah recently listened to the actual song and the fully completed storyboard i had in my mind did a flashback and i got the#cravin'#to finish this#but also..... every other con is there#not really con more like daunting obstacle#this is a call for help btw

seen ppl on Twitter all "Carla doesn't cook but here she is chopping veggies for Lisa" and I will not be hearing this, no no no, Carla does cook, she's just frequently bad at it, and what I find so mind-bendingly endearing about that is that she doesn't let that stop her. she always keeps trying at it (except on Christmas Day), and sod what anyone says about it
#Carla Connor#Coronation Street#Corrie#it is honestly so hot to me that she perseveres#do I understand how she can continue to be bad at cooking despite persistently trying? no i do not#but this is not the first time we have seen her chopping vegetables in that kitchen#also has anyone actually complained about her cooking in recent years? because I know they did back in the day but now...#maybe her cooking actually has improved over time#also while I'm on a food relevant ramble#may I just say that salmon en croute with crushed potatoes & asparagus being her favourite meal makes me love her even more#I'd swap the asparagus for broccoli but otherwise that sounds pretty yum#i mean you can not get better than pastry AND salmon fuckin hell#Cake Watches Corrie#Coronation Street spoilers#editing my tags to say AND ANOTHER THING: Carla loves veggies! yeah she's gonna be chopping them! (even if she's not very good at it)

“For me, there’s almost like a philosophy behind writing on discardable, expendable bits of paper. Things that aren’t meant to be written on, or don’t feel saved. I actually find throwing things, and ideas, away really healthy, because it trains you to see the words you’re writing as not a big deal, and that you can improve on, or recreate. Whenever I lose lyrics I always think of it as a kind of blessing. I have to commit my faith not in the idea, but the source of the idea—which is myself.” – Grian Chatten for GQ Australia
#this was a really great interview but i loved this quote#a good reminder for any creatives out there!#the idea of writing things down on pieces of paper that are meant to be discarded-#-in a way to train yourself to *continue* writing and improving and honing in your craft#and how you (the artist) are 'the source of the idea' so anything you write or create will always be *you* because you created it#he just has such refreshing outlook and i appreciate how he doesn't take things *too* seriously. even with the band and the music.#grian chatten#fontaines d.c.#interview

LONG POST!!!⁉️
happy birthday to me and by proxy happy 4 years since i've (more or less) started digital art!! i've never talked too much about my art journey on here but i thought it'd be fun to share a few of my pieces over the years to showcase my growth
2021
i literally did not DARE draw without reference. I hated drawing characters with their eyes open because i never knew how to draw them exactly, and i hated drawing hands more than anything cause i just couldn't get them to look right. My colours weren't horrible, but they definitely weren't always great.
2022
aaaa!!! colourful!!!!! i started doing more anime fanart! i was kinda afraid to do it beforehand since i was worried i couldn't get the characters looking right since i didnt really have an anime artstyle and was mucchhhh more comfortable with more realistic proportions, which is why for the pieces here i also mostly used reference and then just plopped the characters' designs on top. my faces & hands were definitely improving, but not quite there. Also ocs!! i love my ocs!!
2023
welcome to the year of sskk and also the year i finally started posting comics!! (we ignore my webtoon that i definitely didnt have in 2022) im trying not to post too much art i already have up on my tumblr here but you can look up the sskk tag on my tumblr you can see how insane i was!! in fact, because of how much i drew them that year, i think i very rapidly improved at my anatomy and expressions AND hands compared to 2022. crazy what a hyperfixation does to you
2024
getting daaaangerously close to tumblr's image limit and also 2024 was probably my most active year on tumblr to date, so it's all here anyways, but here's some of my favourites for my overall improvement. i'm not sure i drew a single background all year.
2025
anyways!! we're all caught up now! These two have been my favourite drawings from 2025 so far (one of which im techincally not supposed to show yet, oepsie) and i hope i can make hundreds more that i'm proud of! i've never really set up my art and looked at it side by side, so seeing how far i've come in the last four years is actually kind of heartwarming. thank you so much to everyone who's followed me and supported me & my journey! im getting sappy now so i'll stop jaja
#crazy to think i first got my art tablet 4 years ago its been so fucking long bro ive been at this for forever#was drawing on an ipad before that now THAT art is cooked#i did do digital art before but like i used to be a gacha life girlie like it was not actual people drawing#it just mostly got me used to colouring and nothing else#i learned pretty much all my anatomy in the past 4 years so i do consider myself only really having started once i started drawing on pc#happy 4 year old birthday to my wacom intuos S LMAO#that thing has been with me for forever that thing will continue to be with me for forever i am in fact never getting a new one#art#digital art#art journey#art improvement#art milestone#digital artist#original art#original characters#ocs#my ocs#my art#fanart#angel beats#saiki k#sk8 the infinity#bungou stray dogs#charlotte#chainsaw man#genshin impact#link click#<< feels weird to fandom tag a personal post but. like its fanart what else am i gonna do#anyways shoutout to pinterest for paving literally all of my art in 2021 half my art in 2022#shoutout to my autism that bsd hyperfixation absolutely carried my 2023

How do you write the psychological aspects in canary continuity so well? I want to write something involving that topic but it’s not nearly as eloquent and impactful as yours. (My personal guess is either you’ve spent hours researching or you’re a psych major.) Any tips/advice for those just starting to write about that sort of topic, as well as just possibly writing better in general? Ty!!
(Also canary continuity it was so good I finished it in a day and a half and stayed up till 3 in the morning bc I was so addicted before I forced myself to stop and go to bed)
i did some research on how to write horror, mostly (very hard to find good sources for it iirc, which sucked and i blame google), while the emotional stuff came from my own experiences (ocd + what i think is pretty severe generalized anxiety) and just me kind of winging it. its very sweet to assume im a psych major because i didnt even graduate highschool 😭😭😭 dropped out in my junior year!
i dont have any really good advice because its been so long (coming up on 7 months?) since i wrote CL in particular, i cant remember a lot of the research i did. i think it's just a matter of finding your muse and trying to put yourself in the moment instead of writing what'll feel like summaries of scenes.
#ask#canary continuity#i wont say im PROFESSIONAL#my writing has so many mistakes and i always noootice#but i do think summarizing is a very easy mistake to make when youre starting out#by that i mean when its just ''they did this and this and this'' instead of lingering on things. maintaining tension or etc#especially when you're writing narratives that are meant to be very suspenseful its good to linger and use vivid language#i think it captivates readers too#i think a lot of people wont mind if you improvise with physical details (like setting; it doesnt have to be super vividly described)#but things like body language and expressions and feelings esp. are important#idk how else to put it .... when it comes to the psychological stuff in CL i think my main tactic was the Classic Donnie Overthink#he was a really good narrator for the situation because he was already actively trying to improve himself and he's quick to spiral#he questions himself constantly. tries to put the pieces together and arrives at the wrong conclusions#he's an unreliable narrator because he's oblivious#and when he was so psychologically fucked up that his perception of everything around him was completely obliterated#i just tried to keep the language abstract. it helps

IS ANYONE ELSE FEELING KIND TODAY!!! IS ANYONE ELSE FEELING GENEROUS TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE!!! IS ANYBODY ELSE BEING KIND AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND EVEN WHEN ITS HARD!!! IS ANYONE ELSE ASSUMING THE BEST OF OTHERS INTENTIONS AND RESPONDING IN KIND!!!! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME
#having a day ^_^#I love being kind I just wish other people loved being kind more#people on the internet are SO FUCKING MEAN TO EACH OTHER???? its a terrible phenomenon#I have never seen people in real life treat others badly with the horrifying proportion of hate I see online#please. try to be kinder try to be more patient even when its frustrating#I have changed minds and deescalated arguments SO many times by being kind.#if someone is spouting misinfo in a furious rage and they're saying hurtful things? try responding with patience and kindness#even when you don't feel they deserve it. because one of 2 things usually happens#EITHER. they immediately shift their tone because you're talking to them like an equal and not an idiot#OR they continue to be horrible and it makes them look really nasty. its not a good look!! most people won't do the second thing!!#hateful online arguments has turned my mental health into a disgusting stew in the past#since I started being kind out of sheer frustration my mental health has improved a thousandfold#listen. sometimes its okay to be mean. if someone tells you to kill yourself I dont think its appropriate to give them patience and kindnes#BUT. if you treat someone like they're stupid. even if you're right!!! they won't listen to you or consider your words!!#because admitting you're right means admitting that they're stupid like you think they are. that feels bad so people won't do it#my wisdom. today I am so tired
