Deciding you have something and knowing it’s done no matter what you see outside of you is all it takes for you to have anything in the world 🌎 🩷

have u done any tutorials on how to shade/do textures the way u do? I love ur art its such a huge inspiration 4 me :3

thank you, i'm glad you enjoy my work! tbh i don't really like shading so i basically just do like... basic shading under the neck/nose and inside the ears of characters and then make it up on some of the clothes :') but highkey i'm always trying to avoid doing it.

as for inserting textures, i always make sure all my lineart is closed up, so that i can just plop the texture behind the lineart and then ✨magic wand tool✨ the area i want to have the texture in it and just keep that.

then when colouring i just hit that 'luminance to transparency' action in paint tool SAI (i imagine most other art programs have a similar tool though possibly under a different name/might involve more than one button press) and then i make sure that the transparency is locked, then i colour the texture layer.

as for the textures themselves, back in the day i used to use random stuff i found on google images, these days i try to just use these ones that i made for myself, just a bunch of scribbles to add texture to characters clothes, i also use some screentones i downloaded from deviantart user botanycameos. and that's pretty much it! 🍓🌈🌟

TROUBLE USING FLASHBACK BULLETS?

im up late playing sdr2 again and ive seen this question floating around a lot, and i, too, had problems using flashback bullets in SDR2 mobile version

(below is how to use them and how to get past the second trial)

- to GET a bullet, tap and hold on the statement you want to remember (not all statements can be remembered!)

- to SHOOT a flashback bullet, tap on the statement you want to refute (REMEMBER TO SILENCE WHITE NOISE TOO!!)

in sdr2's second trial, where they are first introduced, you need to:

- hold chiaki's statement about using something other than the shower to obtain it as a bullet

- wait until the debate ends and replays

- use the bullet to refute fuyuhiko's statement

you are unable to use the flashback function on mobile, but you do not lose the bullet when the debate plays again. (i dont know if this is true for other versions of the game) you need to get the bullet and keep it until the debate plays again

Magical Everyday Objects

Originally published to www.fromthelemontrees.com on 03.15.2024

I haven't posted anything in a while and definitely not with his tag in a minute... so how about now?

I am so very fond of "do it and forget it" work and this will be half way that. There's the "do it and forget it" but with consistent application.

1. Find an object that means something to you but you absolutely use on a daily basis or extremely regularly. I will give some example objects that might be helpful.

2. Physically clean and spiritually cleanse them.

3. Give that object to your ancestors/spirits. Please ensure that these objects will not be needed for anything else or for anyone else!

4. Pray that their presence is seen, heard, felt in the best possible way and pray for whichever blessings you care to have over the chosen objects.

Through repetitive use, the object gains significance and strength in that area so that it actually becomes better over time.

Potential objects and ways of using or thinking about them:

A mirror:

* (Self) reflection: show how you view yourself, your beautiful parts and you know... the parts that needs some extra work

* Revelation: those who stand with/behind you and those who stand against you

Makeup/Skincare:

* Attraction and glamour are obvious options; typically this is thought of as accentuating or enhancing characteristics but you could cover up/hide flaws.

* Toners, serums, etc - clearing, repairing, brightening how you are perceived

* Lotions, moisturizers, etc - smooth things out, filling in gaps

Makeup and Skincare can be used for casual reputation work when you see/speak to a lot of people for whatever reason.

Perfume: Similar to makeup and skincare in some regards but definitely good for "putting on airs". Scent is also deeply linked to memory, and lingers behind long after you've left so if you want to 'stick" to someone then scent is a good option to explore.

Jewelry: opulence, looking like a million bucks

Paper, canvas, ink, paints, etc: For many people writing was not and is not the way of life. However, if your spirits performed art in some fashion, then these objects might appeal to them and they may even be able to give you and your work a boost.

Blankets: Especially ones that you sleep with or gain comfort from, you can make use of that for living in comfort, etc.

(Internal) Consumables: This is not necessarily just food or drinks, just anything you consume/process. So it could be media as well.

* Sweets (sugar, honey, candies, etc) - ensuring steady supply of things that bring sweetness/joy into your life; consistency can be whatever you want but try to be extremely regular. Please note that, depending on sweetener and your spirits, your mileage may vary.

* Teas/Tisanes - what you get out of this very much depends on the plant but if you can find something your spirits historically consumed, even better. It will bring you into further concert. Please be mindful of contraindications and medicinal interactions! Not every plant is safe for everybody!

* Tinctures - similar to tea/tisane but less overall effort than drinking a tea every day

The list could go on but I'll leave that to you!

Blessings,

From the Lemon Trees

would you ever consider doing a hat tutorial? they are such a struggle, esp from the side

oughhh haha god i also really struggle with hats, (that’s why my q design is always missing one,) so i don’t have a ton of advice i can give but. these are the Few little tips i think i’m confident sharing! hopefully we can both keep improving at this, haha :,]

My cousin ended up commissioning me for a digital picture and since you do art commissions professionally, are there any dimensions you recommend for a vertical drawing? Her bf doesn't want it to be toooo big and I think he has plans of printing it out to give to his parents possibly? Any size recs are appreciated cause I am just l o s t when it comes to this, thanks!

heyo!

these days, my vertical canvases are usually 1200 x 1800 pixels, which i think is probably quite non-standard, but is a habit leftover from when i had a much slower laptop and going above these dimensions would slow everything down. and often when i DO need to print things (generally if someone asks me to put a specfic piece on my redbubble, i'll enlarge it using waifu2x)

i'd actually recommend going like... A4 at 300dpi if you know before starting that you're going to be making it specfically for printing, which is 2480 x 3508 pixels 📃

How To Decide ❗️ (And Deal With Circumstances) 🩵🦋🩵

Hello everyone 😛🩵🩷🩵

Today this post is going to explain how we can just decide we have anything we want and why that’s all it takes and how to deal with circumstances because that’s where people worry 😘

Everything we could ever want already exists because there’s infinite timelines and because you’re pure consciousness all you have to do is decide you already have what you want / already are what you want to be and you will move to that timeline 🛩️

But how come when I decide it doesn’t work? But how come when I decide I’m still dealing with the opposite?

The 3D is neutral and doesn’t mean you don’t have what you want, if I decide I have my dream appearance and look in the mirror and I’m uglier than ever that doesn’t mean I don’t have what I want, it’s just a powerless past newspaper that’s showing what I’ve been deciding in the past, circumstances are neutral and hold no power over imagination, if you look to the 3D to see proof of your decision you’ll forever be stuck in an endless loop, because imagination is reality so if you constantly decide “This means I don’t have what I want” “But I don’t see it so I still don’t have what I want” you are NOT being the version of you who has what you want, your 3D is going to show you who you’re being and you are being the version of you who’s deciding you don’t have what you want, so instead if you decide you’re rich and see you only have a dollar in your bank account you know that is a neutral circumstance that has no power over imagination, so you won’t worry about it and you’ll decide again “I am rich” and you’ll change who you’re being, at the store you’ll see something expensive and instead of being the old you and saying “I wish I could afford that” you’ll say “That’s so cheap now” and you’ll change SELF and decide again you ARE rich, so you are! Now let me explain how and why circumstances are always neutral:

One girl can have a boyfriend who treats her like a princess but she’s constantly telling herself “It’s too good to be true and I know he’s going to cheat on me and betray me” so even though her boyfriend is perfect the 3D is still neutral and she’s BEING the version of her who’s cheated on and mistreated because that’s her state, another way to show how circumstances are neutral are two people are waiting for someone to text them back and the first person says: “They haven’t answered so they must hate me and think I’m annoying and be mad at me” while the second person thinks “They’re just busy and will reply when they can” and moves on with their day, see how the circumstance (no text) was neutral and you can assign any meaning to it? Just like you deciding you’re beautiful but you get an intrusive thought that you’re ugly and you see yourself looking ugly in the mirror, both circumstances are neutral and only mean what you say they mean, you can say “That means I’m still in the state of being ugly!” Or you could say “It doesn’t mean anything, I have what I want, I already decided.” The second version is the person who has what they want because they decided, they know circumstances are neutral and don’t mean they don’t have what they want, and they aren’t going back on their decision 🩵🩷🩵

So what if you decide you have a car and your mind says: “Haha you’re broke. You don’t have anyone to buy a car for you. How the fuck are you going to get a car?” You know those thoughts mean nothing and because you already decided you have the car and because imagination is reality and limitless you already do have the car and circumstances don’t matter, there are infinite versions of you with infinite versions of cars and because imagination is the truth and limitless it will find a way to bring you the car, you let those doubts pass and know you are pure consciousness, imagination is reality and that the 3D is powerless and neutral + you have what you want

Being the version of you who has what you want is what manifests, but that word itself is stupid, it’s more like “I decided I have this so now I do and that’s the end of story” Manifesting implies a process and putting in effort but the truth is you decide “I have this. I am this. I am choosing to be this version of me” and you change self, if I decided I look like a vampire goddess the decision is made but I also have to change self, I can’t look in the mirror and put myself down, I should say “Omg I look like a vampire doll I love how I look now!” If I decide I have a small nose it’s done but I can’t keep looking at nose job videos on TikTok saying “I wish I could get one too.” Why would the version of me who has a small nose need a nose job? Now you change self and when you see those TikTok’s you think “I’m glad I don’t need surgery because my nose is perfect” You decided your nose is small so it’s done and you’re changing self, your work is done. The 3D is neutral and means only what meaning you assign to it so if you take a selfie and your nose is the size of a building you laugh at it and know it’s neutral and it’s yesterday’s newspaper, you don’t say “But I decided and my nose is still big!” That’s not being the version of you who has it, you have it, end of story, you have it in imagination and that’s all that matters, you can be $20,000 in debt but that debt is neutral, you are literally god, it is numbers on a screen in a powerless and neutral 3D, if you decided you’re a billionaire it is fine and you will move to the timeline where it’s true but it’s already true in imagination and the 3D is none of your concern, your only concern is knowing you have it in imagination and changing self when it’s necessary, don’t do anything to change the 3D do it to fulfill yourself, don’t force yourself to do anything you don’t want to do, if you don’t want to affirm or listen to subliminals you don’t have to fucking do it, you are a fucking GOD! If you decide you have a penthouse in New York it is DONE so rest in the knowing it is done! Don’t wait or worry about it happening, know it’s done and that the 3D is neutral and change self when you need to, you HAVE an apartment NOW because you have it in imagination and you can do whatever techniques you want for fun like imagining yourself in your apartment or looking online for furniture but only if you want to and to fulfill yourself, a decision is all it takes and techniques are only there for fun and to enjoy it now, not because you have to or “it won’t manifest” or because you have to do something, they’re only for fun and they’re not necessary, they’re only for enjoyment and to change self, you can just decide you have anything you want right now and it’s DONE ❗️🩷❗️

I’ll give one more example just to help a little more, let’s say I decide I have my dream appearance and my dream appearance is a life sized vampire doll with thick jet black hair down to my butt and natural falsies etc. okay I decided I have it so it’s done! There’s nothing for me to do, creation is finished and I am pure consciousness. But oh wait, a circumstance! Someone took a picture of me and I HATE how I look! What do I do!?

Option 1: Freak out, ask why I decided but it didn’t work and it’s still not here

Option 2: Know the 3D is neutral and that the picture doesn’t mean anything, change self and think that I look like a vampire barbie in the picture and move on with my day 🩵

See how the first version takes the neutral 3D as truth and ends their decision? I feel so bad for people who don’t know the 3D is neutral because they’ll be stuck in an endless loop 😿 While version 2 knows imagination is reality and that they do have their dream appearance no matter what a neutral picture shows, and because they’re mentally being the vampire barbie and creation is finished they will go to the timeline where it is, but the 3D isn’t the goal or your concern because that causes separation, be satisfied and happy with knowing you have it now in imagination, and enjoy your day drinking coffee and watching movies while knowing it’s done, please don’t affirm until your head hurts or check for results because you’re the results, you want to check? Okay I checked my mind and I have it so it’s done. If you feel sad or discouraged it’s 100% okay to feel that way and to be angry or cry, your emotions are ALSO neutral and don’t mean anything! I’ve cried plenty of times while gently reminding myself later that I have what I want and everything’s okay, I know the 3D can be a fucking nightmare and we’ve all been through bad things, but remind yourself you’re god and it’s temporary and you have what you want and I’m sure you’ll feel better, and it is the truth, I’m not lying to you 🩷 You can think and feel whatever you want because thoughts and feelings are also neutral and mean nothing, you are god and your simple decision is powerful enough to change space, reality and time, decide and know it’s done, know the 3D is neutral, it’s already done and circumstances DON’T matter! The 3D is neutral no matter how bad it is and imagination is the real reality, stand strong in your decision and in knowing it’s done, change self in regards to what you want, don’t decide you’re rich and keep calling everything expensive, change self and call everything cheap! It’s actually fun and don’t do it to change the 3D ❗️ Do it to change YOU ❗️ Decide and know it’s done, know the 3D is neutral and leave it alone, enjoy your days doing fun things because there’s nothing left to do (because you already have it) and use techniques only if you want to and for your enjoyment, your only job is knowing it’s done and accepting it’s yours because imagination is the real reality so if you have it in your mind you really do have it, the 3D is neutral and doesn’t mean you don’t 💗 💗 💗
