!!!!!!!

#i finally finally found a router bit with a profile close to these 1850s esque muntins #i am so excited!!!#i know this is boring and probably too niche to be interesting but #i spent weeks googling and emailing people and going to cincy preservation events and asking people #trying to find anything even close #and i finally did!!!#i just wanted to share cause im so pumped right now #they look simple but it was a lot of work getting everything exactly right #everything is within a 32nd of an inch which is a bit more than what i was hoping for but still decent #ive been working through the weekend to try and finish this job up #thank god it worked because the alternative method involves getting my fingers too close to the table saw #trying to be kind to myself because i didn't get everything on my list for this weekend done but #i got more done than if i had taken the weekend off #i have so much love inside of me and the only place left to put it is in my work and my business

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

#personal #rottmnt #although tbf its probably because with leo its unpacked more thoroughly in the movie #donnie is not a morally ambiguous emotionally unavailable bad boy. he is very sensitive actually #he's a little crybaby /aff #and like this isnt hidden. he isnt SECRETLY sensitive or secretly caring its very out in the open actually #he's not hiding it well AT ALL AND THEY ALL KNOW IT LMAOOOOOOOO #i think donnie's perception of himself is somewhat earnest and somewhat. not? he DEFINITELY thinks he's more evil than he actually is #BGHFHDHGJFHG #i think what causes him to lash out and struggle to communicate is his inability to articulate his feelings #they are just too big for him. like its the exact opposite of robotic #he cant force himself to give a fuck but when he DOES its too much #so he yells and lashes out or he shuts down completely #honestly i think the perception of him being too sensitive being a problem makes way more sense than the perception of him being 'robotic'#when it comes to struggles in how his family sees him at least #even in little ways you can see him take it pretty personally when he's insulted #he struggles to blow things off #and i think it would also explain his tendency to like. visibly calm himself down when he gets upset? its a thing he does a lot in the show #he desperately wants to destroy that perception of him because he's trying so hard to close himself off #he doesn't want to be the sensitive one that cant take anything. it especially works in line with his shell #it was a big inspiration for canary continuity tbh. donnie should struggle with being the sensitive one in fic more #mikey is more empathetic and he's more emotional but donnie's quicker to feel offended or take things personally #BACKED UP HEAVILY BY CANON #that 'you can be honest with me! no hard feelings' - 'he's lyinggggggg'#like he's not upset with them babying him as much as he is with them genuinely finding it frustrating that he can fall behind like that #and just cannot take shit like that. so he tries to pull back and not seem as affected as he is #theyre a very cuddly family but mind you they can be actually mean to each other like that!!

Day 2: Timeloop / Xiao Qi and Jiu Ge

I am cringe and I am not even free

Feel free to reuse this idea but 24 hours are not enough for me to finish an entire comic. I could have taken the simpler prompt but nOOOOOO timeloop is too tempting. Past me why are we like this

#svsss #shen jiu #yue qingyuan #qijiu #qijiuweek2024 #the basic idea for this was that both yqy and sj remember each loop #the loop started after their individual deaths in PIDW and resets them to close to disciple era #aka the time Yue Qi was in the caves and SJ presumably got away from the Qiu household or was already with Wu Yanzi #I imagine the first few loops they qi deviated so hard from the shock that they didnt even make it like 1 hour in the loop before beingrese #and then had a few loops just fucking around and finding out #eventually they realise that the other has the memories of all loops and so begins the talks and figuring how tf they can get out of this #maybe they resolve their issues with the promise or not your choice tbh #they try different plans and methods #but they keep dying (read: SJ keeps dying first and YQY either dies or sewerslides not soon after) and getting reset with no end in sight #until the last pages where the svsss timeline begins #SJ got replaced with SY and the system isn't letting YQY join him in death or smth nor letting him do anything about SY being there instead #And due to their closeness from being immensily tired from all the loops #YQY notices it immediately but can't do anything about it #the bonus for SY is that this timeline was very kind to LBH & co - 79 figured by now that keeping him in the sect and happy was their best #bet at staying alive - or well at least for longer #I'll continue this storyline in one of the future prompts of this qijiu week #btw the one with the cliff is just the whoopsie daisy timeline where SJ accidentally falls into the Abyss trying to keep LBH from falling i #79 had a bit of a good laugh about that one #cw death #cw violence #cw blood #cw angst

A few silly little small sculptures that I made with some of the leftover clay from the main one I did recently

#sculpture #birds #neopets #sparkly little aishas my beloved.....#Though I actually kind of liked them with a matte finish more?? I wanted to try out making them sparkly and shiny..but #I think they might have looked better before adding all the shine. BUT I kind of like both. Maybe I should make two more that aren't shiny #just to have variation lol... an entire army of tiny aishas.....#The little house is so bad lol I hada headache at that point and kind of just wanted to get everything over with #(I bake the clay all at once so I had to get the smaller ones done to go with the main one)#and was like.. zero effort into making things line up or measuring at all. one window on one side is like twice as big as on the other lol #but I think from afar ifnot examined too closely it's still kind of cute. The birds were also just random like 'what can I shape out of thi #s small blob of clay I have leftover' etc. I did actually put irridescent eyeshaow on the pigeon but it just doesnt show up in photos ToT #The other bird is not anything in specific... some sort of random fantasy creature bird with slight purple on it's wings or something #The strawberry is exclusively just a quickly done accessory for the birds.. I wanted them to have a little meal to share #even though I dont know if birds eat strawberries #the last picture in the set is them all sitting on a shelf (the most well lit place I could find) but looks weird #since it has all of my avocado pit eyes in the background......... ominous backdrop for such peaceful little creachures..#you kind of cant tell what they are from that angle though i guess lol

gender rant in tags

#there is a part of me that desperately wants to identify as a man but i just can't #because i hate being associated what that means for people #like yes obviously being big and masculine and putting on muscle and weight is affirming to a lot of people #and that's fine #but i really do not know how to explain how much i do not resonate with that #and how much i equally don't resonate with femininity #i have spent years debating whether i want to medically transition #i know about all the literal physical stuff i just don't know if i want to bite the bullet and do it #and i go on tumblr hoping to find some kind of inspiration some kind of motivation literally anything to encourage me to do it #but literally every post about being transmasc is about being strong and hairy and typically masculine #which. again. is fine. but i literally never feel like my gender is one that even exists #so then i convince myself that it's best not to even try #when i still don't even know if i've decided that's true or not #i dont know #i don't even know where i'm going with this i just feel like i will never ever be seen in my life #and even if i make the jump to medically transition it will mean i may lose a lot of people close to me #so it's not ebven like it's just a gender question it's like well. do you want to feel Vaguely Dissatisfied but not in agony and keep the #things and the people that are closest to you #or do you want to try this thing that you may not even like and risk losing everything #i just wish i fucking knew #i would know if i thought i could be the person i wanted to be on T #but honestly i'm not convinced that i will ever be that person #i see trans people being happy and it just makes me fucking sad #and i fucking hate that #if you’ve read this far I’ll admit to you this was because I started crying looking at the tumblr forcemasc tag. because I’m normal #anyway. goes back to reading my stupid naval uniform book #mine #delete later

i wanna write a book like i have all the fucking characters figured out and everything but i always feel. so fucking awkward writing about original characters. so i wanna write it in a weird way but i don't think literally anyone would like it at all ever. like i kinda wanna write it as like a fake dnd game transcript bc that would be fun to write but literally who would even. read it. head in hands

#like im not trying to get like popular or anything i just wanna like. idk. fuck around and find out #i even made like a fake game system bc i don't know dnd that well and i wanna have fun w it #i just dont want it to be like Too long. but if i write it like this it's either gonna be long as fuck or like multiple books #its definitely lowkey bitb/nitw inspired <<voice of a guy who grew up in a small conservative town where there was a cult #whiskey yelling into the void #not to mention i have like a million fics i wanna write and still havent come close 2 finishing -_-

Gonna say it again, "Just stop consuming the genre" is THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSE to someone complaining about the lack of representation in their preferred genre!! And "Consume other stuff too" is not much better!!! I don't care how much you think varying media consumption is a Good and Holy lifestyle, not everyone wants to do that! There is no obligation to do that and there should not be! Because it's fucking entertainment. It's not a college major.

And! And and and. I would be remiss to not point out that when you tell someone, "If you want well written (minority) just get out of (genre fandom)" you are, regardless of your motivations, rhetorically aligning yourself with the exact same bigots who just want the pro-representation crowd to shut up and go away.

#I don't know how people can say “shonen is written for teen boys so obviously you're the idiot for wanting good rep from it”#as if teen boys don't also deserve stories with well-written diverse casts??#as if the poor reactions they often have to diversity are just inherent to their boyish nature and not a result of a widespread lack of rep #as if diverse casts in popular media aren't A PROVEN WAY to reduce implicit biases against groups of people on a very large scale #you people are dogs. how can you unironically say “this genre was made for teen boys so everyone else should stfu and gtfo”#and not immediately see that you've just aligned yourself with the actually bad people in the fandom #these stances also perfectly miss the point of “I love this genre and want to see a flaw in it corrected” because they are overwhelmingly..#...written by people who do not love the genre in question and are not interested in loving the genre #like yeah ultimately I understand that most of these posts don't give a true shit about helping people find rep in media #their main purpose 99% of the time is to publicly gloat about their supposedly superior media fixations #It's a real autism on autism violence (internet style) so I find it contemptible in a way that pulls all the muscles of my face downwards #“haw haw read another book (the ones I incidentally find engaging) and stop reading your dumb idiot books (the ones you find engaging)”#you can actually shut up tho that's the thing #you can just not say anything and make the world a better place Luigi Marioparty style #it's a wonderful strategy to use #if you've read through all these tags then 1. I thank you and 2. I have a little request if you're willing to give me more thought & time:#try to pay close attention the next few times you're talking about broad media fandoms which you aren't a part of #watch those little twinges in your chest and ask yourself #“is what I'm saying true? do I actually know enough to say that? what is the point of what I'm saying here? what do I want these ppl to do?#I think we all get caught up in Media Gloating sometimes #if you find that your thoughtless comments become concerning after you put thought into them #maybe it's time to not make them #or to even (as a totally random example) make a post arguing AGAINST those comments #because guess what? your bad take there was probably not yours alone; I'd wager 1000 other similar people have made similar takes #but they're not all gonna reflect on that unprompted; that's where you can come in #shonen #lgbtq representation #female representation #representation in media #queer representation

like my spanish knowledge or lack thereof is rly funny coz i never learned it formally i just picked it up from a tv show i binged but my brain sectioned off a whole new corner just for spanish so i CAN switch to spanish like i would for other languages (in fact after the whole tv show debacle i spent days not being able to switch away from spanish mode and thus not understanding what ppl were saying coz my brain kept interpreting both english and hungarian as spanish and refused to process it any other way) but my vocab is like nonexistent so the grammar and the will is there but the knowledge is not. EXCEPT that the show was la casa de papel aka a show about bank robberies so most of the vocab i do know is related to that. so like i can say robber or hostage or gold or kill her or shut the fuck up but until i got here i didnt know how to like, say good evening

#im still shaky on the basics honestly but i can force my way through ordering food and most importantly slushies so it's fine #like my logic is i already know too many western euro languages so there's no real point in going into spanish even tho i #find it pretty easy coz of those ^ plus latin but idk. im already flying too close to the language sun methinks #i should just focus on becoming fluent in german again so i can get tf out of here #but there's like 4 languages i wanna learn rn which I'm kinda doing but only somewhat #if i just focused on one that'd be grand. but alas #whatever lowkey sorry point is i hate feeling like a toddler when trying to say anything but not knowing the words like omgg😭#barking #cdmxlb #languages

i think id really like kissing people if it wasnt so. weird and unpleasant? like its such a romantic notion. but tongues are fucking cold and slimey idk theres absolutely nothing attractive about mouth on mouth kissing its such an immediate turn off like i coulf be havign a fine time with a partner then its like ew. ew tongue in my mouth. ew. cold and wet and squishy eugh

#i was sooo excited for my first kiss last year and it was like. truly so nothing #i thought id at least find it hot but no its just ew. god why do i have to be aroace i swear id kiss so well id love kissing #its just so sensory bad and does nothing for me #its like trying to get off its just fucking useless. like conceptually yes! hot! great! but my body just doesnt like anything romantic #or sexual. ughhhhh id be such a good kisser too!! i just immediately get the 'ew whats in my mouth' feeling #if tongues were warmer or less weirdly wet id be okay with it #but theyre cold and slimey how does ANYONE like this????? genuinely #like i understand that with getting off its a physical thing that just doesnt click for me at all #but how does kissing even work?? how am i supposed to like it #i think id have a great time closed mouth and i already enjoy non-mouth on mouth kissing #but its always tongue and its always bad and everyone always wants tongue and it sucks. do people genuinely enjoy this????#<- boy proving he is a coyote. i wanna rest my head on you and lie next to or on top of you and cuddle with you and rub my head and side on #you and lean on you. i dont want to fucking. tongue handshake deepthroat???

I don’t even like people. Unless I do.

#vent #I’m trying to figure out if I’m even literally ever attracted to people in any way at all #Or if I just crave closeness and affection and pain and all that stuff #And feel the need to respond to other people’s attraction to me #I will never pursue someone who I don’t think is already into me #Every person I’ve dated I had to make myself like them in some way #I’m too scared to date or anything again bc I don’t think i actually am attracted to anyone really #I have to consciously think about it #Even people I do think I find attractive I can’t act on that attraction #I don’t feel any pull to act #And if I do want something from them I feel evil for it #I’m like physically incapable of recognizing my desires and acting on them #Both bc I’m too ashamed to have desires and also I’m not even sure if I do or not #Well anyway all of this to say I’m an ethereal angel being who isn’t touched by mortality #Or something like that

almost 4am can't stop thinking about the meaning of the idiom 'to have blood on [someone's] hands'—to be responsible for a person's death—combined with the fact that Zach is the one we are specifically shown with Daryl's actual blood on his hands (once for real and once in a dream)... Not Josh who had been holding the sword Daryl fell onto, but Zach who took the sword out.
