Status Report #4

Hey guys. So...it's about the end of the year isn't it? My, how time flies...

Let's get this out of the way--obviously the project didn't come when I wanted it to. I'm sorry for getting any hopes up. As I've said earlier, I was mostly working on my mental health for these last few months. I've been taking therapy, medications, etc to get my mindset in a healthy area. I'm also looking for another job that'll help me get out more. In addition to the guilt and disappointment of missing my deadlines, I'm also struggling with anxiety in general along with anhedonia and who knows what else. I'm desperately trying to get back into my old hobbies and some new ones to keep me healthy.

I won't make the mistake of making a new deadline for this project. It'll just have to come out when it comes out. I'll at least try to post some art here, now that my mental health is improving. That's really the best news I have for now. Hopefully if I continue to work on it, it may actually lead to an increase in art again.

Thank you guys for your support.

OMG I THINK I JUST REALIZED WHERE THE “CARA” IN BABA CARA’S NAME CAME FROM

“Baba” obviously comes from “Baba Yaga”.

And it’s apparent meaning

ANYWAY

I’ll be posting a Status Report soon guys. Y’all deserve to get some news. Stay tuned.

Hey guys, I need some input once again on the topic of mermaids. The logical conclusion to combining fish and human anatomy is to connect the human lungs to the swim bladder, of course. However, the esophagus runs behind the windpipe in humans, meanwhile the swim bladder runs behind the fish digestive tract, which means they are on opposite sides, so to speak. Which means the “tubes” of these systems need to cross somehow.

Option 1. They just kind of pass by one another asymmetrically

Option 2. Like the cephalopod donut brain, one “pipe” has a donut shape which the other goes through

Option 3. All along the merfolk esophagus actually goes in front of the lungs and windpipe, avoiding the whole crossing over ordeal in the first place

Input is appreciated!

Do I have any marine biologists following me HAHA

Weird thing to be hung up on considering. Everything else. But I'm also vaguely curious

So hey, to anyone who does femme historical fashion anywhere between 1885 and 1950-

Cornell University has the entire archives of Good Housekeeping up from that time period. And Good Housekeeping used to have English-language fashion plates with clear instructions as to fabric, colour, and cut.

They were ads for the personal shopping service Good Housekeeping apparently??? ran around this time???? and they are a fucking goldmine if you're remotely interested in fashion history or if you're looking to build a 20th century historical wardrobe.

Just, like, look at this?????

An itemized layout of every piece of a young bride's (aspirational) wardrobe in 1930. Including prices. And then below it, a fashion plate, with English-language descriptions of what all these things are and what fabrics they're made of. And an ad for Good Housekeeping's fucking personal shopping service again. XD

IDK, most people who do historical fashion on any kind of serious level probably already know about this??? but I didn't and was stunned and overjoyed to find out that this existed. my research at the library gave me a bunch of high-level overviews that weren't helpful for more than colour and cut.

SO YEAH. THANK YOU CORNELL UNIVERSITY.
