Open Camera App
A follow-up to this post from last night.
In my reblog I said I'd installed the app, so I went out today with both cameras and did a test shot.
The subject is firethorn blossom in our hedge, time 18:34 / 6.34PM, sky almost-cloudless blue, lighting optimal.
First, a Nokia G21 (released February 2022): here's a shot with its native camera app, and a crop for close-up detail.


Here's a shot with the Open Camera app with installation-default settings, and a crop.


IMO, Open Camera makes a serious improvement.
Now an HTC U11+ (November 2017). I bought this older phone last year, old stock NIB, just for the sake of its camera, after seeing the quality pix @dduane was getting from hers.
First, the native app and a crop.


Next, Open Camera at installation default settings, and a crop.


It looks to me as if Open Camera works best when installed in a phonecam whose native app runs excessive image processing as a matter of course.
The Nokia pics are a case in point, while the HTC, a far better native camera app (and I suspect a far better camera full stop) shows much less improvement.
Now I get to find out what happens with Open Camera in the HTC once I start tweaking settings. That, however, is for later.
Meanwhile, two thumbs up and a big thank-you to @shelandsorcery for putting me onto this app!

SPIRIT OF THE WEST: The Major Motion Picture
It's a summer evening in the late 90s and you and your friends are looking for something to watch at the slumber party. You go into your local Video & Variety and happen upon the coming of age romance, Spirit of the West. Let's hope this doesn't awaken anything in you....
SUMMARY:
Dean grew up on a horse farm and can't imagine any other life. There are drawbacks to working for his father, but they're worth it if it means remaining with his beloved horses. Besides, between his broken arm and his lack of prospects, he hasn't got much else.
Something of an outsider, Dean always feels like there's something he's missing. But this tense summer brings back a figure from his past: years ago, a teenaged Cas worked for a season at the Winchester ranch. His return could change everything.
Reviewers rave: "If you ever wanted a 90s horse girl book, but starring a young Dean Winchester, this is your flick."
Spirit of the West is written and directed by Teen_Dean / @urne-buriall
▶️ PLAY Spirit of the West ⏪ REWIND with Spirit of the West Prequel by @foolondahill17 ⏩ WATCH IT AGAIN with SOTW Daily 🌟 BONUS FEATURES ✨ Director's Commentary 🎶 The Official Motion Picture Soundtrack
#using the tags as my footnotes for a sec#this something i wanted to do *last year* but well. i didn't get around to it til now#spirit of the west means so much to me and in my mind it is a movie that we all can watch together on some summer night#the cover image was an insane process that started with a still from that horribly over-exposed video of young jensen riding a horse#i tried to do some photoshop editing on it. then ended up digitally painting over it#young cas was so tricky. so much of young misha does not look like cas to me#also don't look too closely at the manip 'stills' lol#and fun fact: the silhouetted image of the horse and rider on the spine is actually jensen from that video of him#anyways this was so fun to make<3#myedits#spirit of the west#sotw

I think having "Nightmares" encompass all psychological troubles is an interesting and honestly pretty fitting decision for the game, given the time period. With Freud being on his peak nonsense at the time, ascribing lots and lots of meaning to dreams was becoming fashionable, and there's a certain elegance to considering yourself to be Plagued By Dread Visions! instead of just...coming apart at the seams from the stress of it all. You're losing sleep because of the nightmares, not because of the things that caused them and their effects on you. You're mumbling to yourself and jumping at shadows because of the lost sleep, not because of that other stuff. Just get somebody or take something to fix the dreams, that's the trick! Nothing you have to acknowledge. Nothing unseemly, and nothing outside of your control. It's so very Victorian. It's sad, in a way, when you see it as an attempt to apply a cultural attitude of denial and carefully constructed (performative) self-mastery - that already didn't work well for the real time period it came from, mind you - to life in a cave that kills and traps you and is filled with horrors both beyond, and unfortunately well within, your comprehension.
#peligin speaks#fallen london#the cave is filled with good things and opportunities too; of course; but honestly?#a high contrast between the good and the bad does not do a lot for mental stability#I'd argue it kind of makes it worse#you can acclimate to an endless low-grade nightmare#I expect that's more what zailors have to deal with#the life of a Flondon PC; though....#you can see waters run red with blood and every poison you can think of on Tuesday#and watch a person utterly lose their humanity and give themselves over to cannibalism in the streets#and then be expected at a party on Wednesday#and if you've been there for years and everyone else at the party has been there for years#that's just gossip now#that's just normal#there's no more room for acknowledging that hey; that's pretty fucked up#because what are you; a Surfacer? a tourist? you're in London now. You're used to this.#being used to something doesn't stop it from boring into your brain though#but the expectation to be used to it and the being surrounded by people who also want to give an unphased impression#sure makes the thought appealing#so you get Nightmares#a borderline supernatural interpretation of the commonplace process of a person approaching their breaking point#I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this#but it's an interesting reflection on how mental health is thought of in the setting; I think#in sskies you get Terror. Terror is waking and emotion based and invokes a very different set of images than Nighmares as a term#a much less graceful one#no such thing here#.... speaking of getting shit sleep though. excuse any typos et cetera it is almost 5am#I think insomnia fueled flondonposting is becoming a trend this week#if anybody knows a good Silverer in southern Ontario I'm open to recommendations djdhfs

I have a lot of leftover drawings in my gallery. [Blank Scripts AU]


[Content Warning: Images below contain Gore, Death, and Disturbing/Uncomfortable Imagery]
I find it a bit cute knowing they start out as crazy and then slowly settle into something calmer and relatively healthier after learning to adapt to each other's lust-turned-love. [Stanley did it first but hey :3]
#tsp blank scripts au#they love each other [genuinely] theyd rather die if theyre to go without each other by this point#hhmmm I hope the last few images arent too damning#These two go through a lot during the progression of their relationship#and I wanted to showcase that yknow?#theyre demented but theyre just perfect for each other kind of way#lovingly tearing each other apart and rebuilding each other to do it over and over again#repeating this dull process of endings over and over and finding ways to keep themselves entertained#this place was never even meant to be fun#but now that theyve gotten entangled with each other#they cant help but want to play around#even if its just for a little bit?#work can continue later right?#they love each other a little bit too much they actually need to be put in a separate cage#like a spider and a praying mantis#is it painful? yes. is it fun? also yes. do they like doing it only to each other and nobody else? YES.#their psych is genuinely so fun to explore and dissect#I had a lot of fun making these despite how deranged they look#something about them.... it drives both to do things they would never even consider doing to anybody else... but towards each other#you know what i mean? or am i just yapping nonsense again.#horror#the stanley parable#the stanley parable ultra deluxe#tsp#tspud#tsp au#tsp narrator#narrator tsp#stanley tsp#tsp stanley

I love the idea of Machete healing some unresolved stuff about himself because he realizes the things he resented about himself when he was younger are traits that Ear has but because he loves Ear it helps him to realize those traits aren't inherently unlovable. Do you think Machete or Vasco would be helicopter parents?
.
#yes I absolutely agree#parenthood would be something that could prompt him to re-evaluate and process his self-image in a constructive way#it's common and ordinary thing for people to experience but it also enables tremendous character growth#and I like the idea of someone like him#who doesn't come across as family oriented person and doesn't see himself as fit to raise a child#subverting expectations and doing really solid job as a parent#also in the original setting his personal life is kind of devoid of living things if that makes sense#he has his books and papers and collections of commissioned art but he doesn't cultivate anything that grows#that's why it'd be nice if in the modern au they had something to take care of#a pet or even some cherished houseplants would be a good start if they don't want to commit to an entire Ear#answered#anonymous#they would actively try to avoid acting too much like helicopter parents but the results would vary#modern au#kid named Ear

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-
(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )
#tumblr polls#hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today#still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual#They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully#it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec#fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since#I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm#ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos#or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things#I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming#over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY#I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb#e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about#different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see#stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I#can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone#said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects#the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

Painted a battle between Maximilian Thermidor and Wynne D Fanchon because this mission is first and foremost a conflict between their opposing ideologies so it made sense to. Also, I may have spent all of my time fighting for dear life against Shinkai so this is how it went every time.
Arteria Cranium itself is so significant that I wanted to paint it as prominent and powerful as it felt upon first seeing it - it was like stepping into a holy place. Along with the buildup to its importance and the stark contrast of this mission's track compared to everything before it it has an atmosphere that is so unique and impactful I won't ever forget it. From's really good with letting areas and moments speak for themselves.
Also wanted to share this attempt at getting reference pictures because I thought it was funny. I caught the moment when Thermidor shot me - kinda rude considering he was supposed to be busy with Wynne, but what would you expect from him honestly (I got Shinkai stuck somewhere so he wouldn't bother me).

#armored core for answer#acfa#ac4a#armored core#cw eyestrain#i like me a bunch of blue i do. but is it perhaps too much blue? and post processing?#i couldve maybe added a warble effect of a dodge to one of them but that may be beyond my abilities#i find it tough to make unsung look more dynamic and realised too late how the legs move so it sorta looks static#it was so fun to figure his ac out because the more you look at it the more apparent it becomes that thermidor is so extra#also conjured up the image of him sleeping in a car bed for no reason in particular...#just the more you think about him the more ridiculous you realise he is#need me more of this type of guy in from i think#love everything about wynne too. her lines are so poignant and i still think about all of her ending lines#shes a great opposite to thermidor where shes straight forward to his highly constructed facade#think more stuff with these two bouncing off each other would be great#'tis mine

collab #2 with @xenole i was given a chibi yakumo and i.. i...... turned it into thiS
#I AM SO SORRY I DREW YAKUMO AGAIN ADFSJEIADKS LOOK OK so xenole gives me the tiny crying yakumo.#says DO WHATEVER YOU WANT and THUS i get to thinking#my immediate thought was#i'm going to make oli breast boobily while comforting him#bc i was determined to draw xenole's fave this time. i swore it to myself. i WILL stop being so self indulgent#but the chibi on chibi comforting scene didn't sit right with me. it was too straightforward. not something i would draw normally#it was hhhh as u say.... not on brand.? it did not inspire me. idea benched....#so days pass and i'm still pondering ideas on what to do to the sad spaghetti.#configurations of clan members danced in my head. some defending yaku. some comforting. some bullying#the ideas usually involved at least oli or kuya bc once again. xenole bias#then while i'm in the shower i got frustrated with my lack of ideas and thought#i'll jujst eat.him. just. chew on him. i'm tired of him#AND THE IMAGE OF KUYA EATING YAKUMO FOR BREAKFAST POPPED INTO MY MIND#originally it was going to be kuya eating yakuflakes and oli giving him serious side eye but then the brain went#WHAT IF IT'S YAKUMO WATCHING KUYA EAT YAKUMO. THAT IS FUNNY. IT MUMST HAPPEEN#BUT I REFUSED at first. i was angry at myself. this is not a competition to see how you can STILL sHOVE YAKUMO into a drawing.#plus the composition would shrink xenole's chibi down! i would take over so much space by comparison! THE DISRESPECT! TO THE COLLAB PROCESS#but once i get fixated on smth...well. i ended up doing the idea and just praying xenole wouldnt eviscerate me for it#i'm sorry my liege. my grip on the reins was weak. the goofy clown horses went stampeding#so idk now it's the two of em having a peaceful breakfast in kuya's cabin but only kuya is at peace and yakumo's this close to a breakdown#i feel like there should be something in the space between them. a speech bubble or something . something mean is being said#yakuya#nu carnival yakumo#nu carnival kuya

everyone should get more nonbinary... now!
#let us hold hands and think of transfem agender syqq okay?#very important to me. and yet another subtle reason as to why sy was always so online + why sqq always wants to explore#not just the desire to see worldbuilding but also to finally get a chance to live in a world where#the outward appearance is Inherently an 'act' to begin with. one that is taken on comfortably#but which is just separate enough to process things for the Person vs. the Poser and whatnot#and something which rarely comes into play as is when sqq's engaged in other matters. why linger on it! unimportant! look at this creature.#there is much more going on in this life so no need to think on it for too long#speak#where is my image

SIMM and Dao's Love Language
I'm going to get emotional about KluenDao again because I realised something about how Kluen shows his love for Dao.
(I have a theory that) Dao's primary love language is Acts of Service:
It's the main feature of what he describes when Typhoon asks him what his "type" is.
It's how Dao shows his love for Kluen: doing Kluen's art homework for him and offering to make Kluen's mom's birthday present. It's not (just) about doing art, but specifically because it meets a need that Kluen has.
It's also how Fah and his closest friends show their love for Dao.
So lets take a look at how Kluen shows his love for Dao throughout the show:
Kluen in the "wooing" stage:
From early in the series, Kluen consistently shows his attentiveness and care via 'food/drinks as a metaphor for love', which is also a clear example of Acts of Service because he's providing for needs Dao has in the moment.
These are also both great examples of Acts of Service as Kluen either identifies and addresses a burden that Dao has or preempts a potential source of stress and offers an alternative.
Of course I had to add these moments! Making sure Dao sleeps in a proper bed, re-doing his ankle dressing, the pen + post-it note for his anxiety, and unbuttoning his sleeve so Dao has something to focus his nervous energy on. Note that 3 out of the 4 of these Acts were without (as far as the audience sees) Dao even knowing what Kluen is doing for him.
There's a reason why I find Kluen so very attractive, and it's because Acts of Service is also my love language and damn does Kluen do an amazing job of showing his care for Dao in that way!
Kluen as a boyfriend:
As soon as they become official boyfriends Kluen is constantly finding ways to do things for Dao: walking Dao to class, carrying his stuff, feeding him -- its all very sweet. I had to delete several screenshots because of the image limit jsyk. :( Kluen really does go all out in this way.
Kluen's Acts of Service only seems to escalate in Sky in my Heart. Cooking for Dao, organising a night out for Fah because Dao is worried about Fah, nursing Dao when he's not feeling well (+ the hand feeding TuT).
The cherry on top comes in the Special Episode: Is there anything that encapsulates Acts of Service more than planning to build your boyfriend his dream home, located on the beach because he loves waking up to the sea; promising that he'll have everything he needs to pursue his love of art; even planning to plant a big tree so your boyfriend won't be too hot as he paints outside??
There's so much genuine thoughtfulness and specific consideration for what will make Dao the most happy in this plan.
It's so lovely to see Dao recognise that. He's so grateful, so overwhelmed by Kluen's love (the way you can hear the tears in Dunk's voice when he says his lines - he's such an emotive actor!), not just because it's genuine and means the world to Dao after going through the pain of thinking his love was unrequited, but also because Kluen has learned specifically how to love Dao the way he understands it the best. Kluen literally learned to use the language of love for Dao - both verbally and through his actions.
And this is why I really do think Star in My Mind is genuinely quite a beautiful love story.
#kluendao#kluennuea#joongdunk#star in my mind#simm meta#simm#sky in my heart#so i was going to make this about Kluen's love language too but um i hit the 30 image per post limit??#i didn't even know there was an image limit x'D#so there's going to be a part 2#i was just supposed to watch the special episode but a scene at the beginning made me suddenly start thinking about this#and the next thing i knew i was doing a speed run of the entire series again#but this time i was looking for specific things and in the process noticed even MORE things T_T#the rewatch value on SIMM is INSANE i love it so much <3#hui talks thai bl#hui talks simm

Hi I just wanted to say that I love your design for murderbot-- it's like you crystalized a vague idea I had about the characters into visual form. Your art is beautiful and I hope you have a good day!
thank you so much!! 😄 i'm so glad my designs for them resonate with you!
i had vague ideas while reading that i spent some time working out before i started posting anything (mostly with a lot of citations and rough diagrams lol) there's been development since this, but here's a sheet of my initial work on figuring out what my version of secunit looks like!
#this made me very happy thank you!!!!#i wasn't initially planning on posting this concept page but the “vague idea” bit reminded me that i also v much started with a vague idea#it's been a whole process!!#answered#mental-about-you-too#asks#murderbot#the murderbot diaries#tmbd#tmbd fanart#tmbd art#murderbot art#murderbot fanart#secunit#the murderbot diaries art#the murderbot diaries fanart#image description in alt#martha wells#art#fanart
