Me when I remember I actually have friends and I can just see them and talk to them and know I’m not annoying them

ok but does anyone else ever just

Have they invented a way to draw your OCs without opening an art program or doing anything yet

[lemoness-cheese]

I do not write or draw for fandoms much, but I feel this type of thinking about your art applies to original or non-fandom stuff. You draw/write/create for you, I draw/write/create for me, do not ask for something specific (the only acceptable times are if your really close to me or pay me)

“DON’T write this character like-“

“Stop drawing them with-!”

“I’m so sick of fandom sleeping on-“

My friend, do it yourself then.

Okay! For those who were wondering about alternatives to Google Docs, I think I found pretty much the perfect option: Ellipsus

Besides being online and collaborative like GDocs, a few things I've liked about it so far:

It has a drafts feature, which you can use to track and merge revisions to your doc OR you can use them as sub-documents to store things like your bible--character info, notes, scenes, whatever OR you can break down your story into chapters

Strictly anti-AI, and wanting you to own your writing 100%

Has a built in writing timer, and a focus mode (Strips away the UI)

Aaaaaand….!! What's that...?

Oh yeah, snippet sharing:

and a built in export to AO3

Their plans are to keep this version of the product free, and then create higher end paid versions with more features to maintain a sustainable model that'll keep the product viable. They seem really cool so far. Highly recommend checking them out, if you're in any way interested in degoogling.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

Helpful and Preventative Stretches for Writers, Artists, and Gamers 💪🎨✍🎮

If you type, write, draw, game, or generally use your hands a lot (especially if you’re prone to RSI or Carpal Tunnel!) try these stretches as both a preventative measure, and on the spot relief. Take care of yourself and your body, friends!

Start with hands up, fingers stretched out.  Stretch your thumb as far as you can over your palm. Hold and repeat 4 times.

Touch each finger to your thumb. Hold each for 30 seconds. Repeat on each hand 4 times.

Start with a fist. Open half way, hold for 2 seconds. Stretch fingers out, hold for 2 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Start with one arm out, palm up. Pull your fingers back with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with your other hand. Repeat 4 times

Start with arms up, palms out. Bend wrists down until you feel the stretch, but keep your fingers loose. Hold 10 seconds. Bend wrist upwards, until you feel it in your wrist and arm. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

Frog

Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting

One of the most important things I’ve learned as a Real Adult™ is the importance of a job half done. 

Today I did a load of dishes, wiped off my stove, and swept the kitchen floor. Did I do the best job, or finish every dish? No! My stove still has that caked on caramel that I need to bust out an SOS pad to take care of, one of our big pots is still sitting in the sink, and somehow a kitty kibble unearthed itself while I was wiping down the stove (?? how??).. but the kitchen looks a LOT better. It’s once again an inhabitable, usable space.

Parents, bosses, teachers, even my own self, harp upon absolute perfect completion of a task as the be all and end all of a job well done, but god damn, my kitchen isn’t terrible because I took the time to improve it. Little steps, especially when you’re struggling, are important. They mean a LOT. They are a sign that you won, if only in that brief moment, and they make getting all the other stuff done so much easier later on down the road.

Random buts it is 11:43 currently and I cannot sleep.

I just rearranged my room (while being distracted by my cat and promptly scaring my cat on accident) which to me means multiple things

1. I have energy and motivation for once

2. I will act like a weird as person for the next however many hours left in the day (I was making weird screeching noises, going nei and nya rapidly throughout the day at my cat and while hugging mum, and avoiding the lines of tile throughout the house)

3. I have to relearn everything about my rooms setup not just furniture placement (bed arrangement, where stuff on my drawers, desk and bookcase go, and various other things)

4. I will be pacing my room

5. I will not ask for help I must do rearranging myself

6. Uncovered pieces of carpet are not being vacuumed

7. The fear of insects and spiders comes back because I witnessed two within two days (one in an outlet for some reason and one behind the drawers) because fear is fun apparently

8. Any behavioural traits I learnt from my siblings will be used to annoy them they cannot escape (youngest child + autistic and adhd siblings = the least neurotypical seeming neurotypical ever apparently)

9. My mother thinking I have a form of ocd because what is wrong with me (I will heavily disagree as it is not compulsion or will affect me at all if I don’t do the thing related to ocd in anyway but the screeching is mindless)

10. No sleep apparently

11. Doing maths just before this for fun out of an old maths workbook that was for holiday work that I never finished

12. This entire thing

13. Cat will hate me for a couple days until he is a suck up once more

Something is wrong with me and my family gets to put up with it and I do not care that smth is definite wrong as this is my life until it’s not so I get to live with it.

:) 11:52 now and I still will not sleep

Why haven’t I seen a single post about this book. It’s amazing. The first book I’ve read that has been set in wales, with welsh mythology as the basis of any magic, people talking and referring to others in welsh occasionally and you don’t need google translate to get the idea of what they are saying. It’s has a bittersweet kind of happy ending. The second and third to last chapters are so tense and yet so sad at the same time and the final one is just bittersweet and happy and it’s amazing.

With how much I’ve been reading my tumblr may just become book reviews that have not been planned out at all.

Make the assumption anytime I mention a book spoilers will be said

The little details in the cover referencing important parts to the story, Cassie and Siân and the Helynt children looking so small against the blackthorn tree in the cover.

The references to the oddesy, and the Trojan war being an important inclusion in the book, and characters from various time periods stuck in time and getting to see their parents again before essentially dying because the magic keeping them has been let go.

The main antagonist basically being a child and waiting for people to return to let her stop protecting the tree like an abandoned dog waiting for their owner and breaking down crying seeing her family again

The protagonists father being the one to convince her to let everyone go

The parents who unintentionally caused their son to want to leave them following the death of a grandparent

The second youngest of the missing boys being so old yet having life left to live with his family

The small family moments where everything seems like it will be okay

The unintentional magic showing the protagonists family and the dead grandparent together and happy before everything went wrong and still rejecting it because it’s not real

The fake magic at the beginning being swapped for actual magic at all

The little sister of a protagonist being so stubborn and hot headed and cares so much for her family she was willing to risk not remembering them for the sake of her brother

Every little thing about this book I swear is the best thing ever

This book needs more love, I got it like two years ago, idk how long it’s been out but I feel more people should read it

[lemoness-cheese]

Sooo some ppl liked the Megamind-stable/Supportive education stuff- sooo here. Not my best but u get the idea. School rivalry

I just finished reading a physical book for the first time in forever. Impossible Creatures by an author I have already forgotten the name of specifically.

I have never reacted all that much when reading, but I definitely haven’t reacted more reading than I did reading that book. Absolute 10/10 I loved it, it’s amazing and I am devastated. It’s premise while not fully original, magical world near/in/around earth and outsider goes becomes part of it in someway has not been a fully new thing in forever, but it is so thought out.

When I first found it in my library, I didn’t borrow it at first, but every time I saw it I thought about borrowing it. It had been originally published over a year ago, but came into my library this year. The first things that struck my friends and I when I started reading was the mythical creature index at the start which I desperately needed to understand what is being described, the map as well, my friends laughed at the France in a corner of that map.

It was also quite short. I was reading it every time I was on the bus in the mornings and afternoon and it took the week plus a few days because of weekends and days I didn’t take the bus. But I’m that short timespan, I loved these characters. I wanted them to succeed. The protagonists are so well written, they felt like actual people, they got curious, happy, upset, and it felt real. A betrayal on them felt like a betrayal to myself as well, a win for them was a win to me.

Spoilers if you haven’t read it of course

I honestly thought the night hand was an animal like Ratwin the ratasoka for some reason, and I thought that the Nighthand would die. The way he spoke about protecting the immortal made me think as he was being killed through poison that he would die fighting for the immortal. He didn’t

I thought that The captain man that essentially became a father figure to two random children would live as nothing too dark happens yet and there is so much to learn. He doesn’t

I thought that the two protagonists would have a longer and more explicit relationship (as in dating) as that was the direction it felt the book would go. They didn’t

I thought that Malum would have to live with Gelifin’s death after the Gimourie was restored and the trauma of nearly dying on so many occasions. She didn’t

I thought Gelifin would live and grow plain and simple. He didn’t

The twist that Malum was the immortal, there came a point a couple pages before that was revealed that I figured was the case. Why else would a random guy try and kill her, why else would the fortune teller act like that, and it was a well written twist

And amongst all the angst, sadness, death, near death, that happened there was so much to be happy about

Chris got to go home to his grandfather and father

Jacques seemingly gets to be remember in the outside world and had a heroic moment

Mal saved her home, her friends, her family, everyone

Nighthand lives and Irian is in love with him

Ratwin survives in all his glory

The creatures are no longer dying even if it is too late for some it didn’t have to be for the others

Irian was accepted for her lineage and not treated any different

Chris shouldn’t have been able to survive the maze and he did

It isn’t often that I will be making longer posts. Not in the slightest. But I had been invested in this book. It’s the reason I want to start reading physical books again instead of fanfiction all day every day. This isn’t me trying to convince what little people will probably see this to read it, while it is good personally this post isn’t what this is for. I wanted to express how I felt about it.

It’s amazing. While it is still a children’s book it never once truly felt like one and that about sums up how I feel children’s books of that age level should be written. If it is written like the person reading is a child (condescendingly) or someone older can’t read and enjoy it than is it really doing it’s job well? Of course books can be written just for that age group and none else, I’m not saying they can’t. But some of my favourites of children’s books can be easily enjoyed when out of the age group.

I don’t think I have enough words in the English language to fully express how much I love this book. The fact that it’s making me want to read things outside of fanfiction expresses more to my brain than any of the words I can say here.

I don’t know how to end this, but I guess, if something interests you even a little, try it, do it, read it, play it, learn it. If you don’t like it you don’t have to continue, and if you like it you can continue it. It’s a win-win for you. A moral on what is essentially a book review/rant is a bit odd, but it feels fitting in a way. I honestly feel like I should’ve borrowed Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell (looked up her name) sooner than I did because of how much I loved reading it.

How I would rewrite/remake miraculous Ladybug pt2

I want the fact that she’s a ladybug to be for a reason, not just because. Even if it’s for comedic reasons my idea:

Move got a shit ton more ideas I wanna explore if anyone got any questions I guess
