Wearing a piece of jewelry nonstop for 10 years straight means you don’t actually know how to put it back on after taking it off. For me at least. Might just be because it’s a bracelet and those are hard to do one handed.

I got stuck on some looser threads of a plushy and to not break it I took off my decade old medical bracelet.

I’m gonna have to ask dad to help me get it back on.

I'm only saying this for your sake, but objectively, it's not a smart idea to bring politics into normal hobbies. You might lose supporters of your blog just because of your political stance, and that would be terrible since you're so amazing!! It's only a suggestion, but I really reccomend not bringing politics into anything.

Bit of a traditional medium potential Furry AU design of CB and Dinah before I go to bed.

For Dinah I went for a cat. Sweet, gentle but can still do some damage if upset enough. I generally just thought of making the coaches felines of some kind and as a cat owner I thought a housecat fit Dinah best.

CB is a fox for various reasons but the main ones are that foxes are cute yet destructive, are canids but act somewhat feline(cat software on dog hardware is the common joke) which fits him as a brake van/caboose(a freight that has humans in him on the regular and can be put on a passenger run) and the colours if the red fox fits him well.

At first I thought of making CB an otter but thought making him a fox would work better. (Unfinished sketch of CB as an Otter and BV as a badger below cut)

If I ever continue this Elvis and his sister will be grey wolves and the Electras will be a Maned wolves.

CB would have been a river otter and BV a common American badger in the first though. This would have made Slick a European badger.

I should figure out how to draw a “scar map” for certain characters.

I need to try and visualize CB’s scars specifically as since I have the trains as “semi organic” he would definitely have scars left over from certain crashes or injuries he’s suffered over the years.

The one I want to visualize best is the one(s) on his on his back.

do you regularly listen to music that is not in your native language?

[billie-the-sleepyhead]

i don’t understand people who love a problematic character but get angry when people mention the evil things that character did. like, that’s your man! he’s proud he did all that, support his hobbies!

As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."

"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."

It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.

fanfic writers what font do you write in

i know on ao3 it's all in verdana but when you're drafting the fic in word or docs or whatever

[billie-the-sleepyhead]

so my brain accidentally decided that the caboose(+Slick) were kinda like the train mafia in my AU...

in my defence I was just thinking about Slick when this song popped into my head

thinking about it a bit more Slick and BV's association with taking money for "jobs" and me calling it a family business to myself (and litteraly giving Slick a front) making them almost mafia adjacent is just the natural progression of things.

What would the ship name for Joule X Brake Van be? Wondering for reasons.
