@dinlukeweek day 4 Matchmaker Grogu / Luke meets Armorer and Paz

there are maybe some downsides to being able to read your padawan's thoughts

(commission info // tip jar!)

[ryelasrandomfun]

this is probably a little out of the blue but I thought it might be cool for you to know that my Extremely Professional Animator story development professor thought aurora looked really cool and good when I cited it as an inspiration on my final project

thanks

Since there’s that huge heat wave that’s about to fuck up like 3/4 of the US, I’d like to stand on my soapbox for a second. I’m not a doctor, I’ve just lived somewhere with summer temps over 110 for most of my life.

Obviously, the best thing to do during a heat wave is STAY INDOORS. Of course, that’s not always possible.

Get a couple washcloths, or rags, or old shirts you don’t care about. Get them nice and damp. If you wanna get fancy with it, throw some essential oils on them. Who cares. The important thing is that they are WET. Next step, fold them into rectangles (so they hold the coldness longer!) and put them in their own zippy bag or an old grocery bag or whatever. Doesn’t matter, just don’t let them freeze in a clump. ANY TIME YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, GRAB A FROZEN RAG. Drape it on the back of your neck. Dab yourself like a fancy Victorian lady. Do whatever helps. One of my friends keeps them in her bra. Whatever works!

Windows. They let heat in. Blackout curtains help a lot, but they’re not magic. Get a nice thick blanket (not a comforter, too heavy) or fold up some sheets. Pin or nail your blanket/sheets above your window like dorm curtains. Block that heat OUT!

HYDRATE. Everyone says it because it’s TRUE. Dehydration sucks. Heat stroke sucks more. Learn the symptoms and what to do if it happens to you or someone else. On that note…

Replenish those electrolytes! It’s gonna be hot. You’re gonna sweat a LOT. If you’re chugging water and not replenishing your electrolytes, you can actually have a heart attack. Even if you don’t have a heart attack, you can still faint (medical emergency, especially in the heat!) or best case scenario, feel like garbage. Pedialyte is nasty but it works. Sports drinks, sure whatever. Those little pouches of powder that you add? Whatever you like. If you don’t have any of those, eat something salty while you drink your water.

Can confirm I missed the announcement around Misc Myths. I didn't notice and you've been doing great making all sorts of interesting vids. Honestly don't miss it, and I'm glad that putting it aside has given you space for other more rewarding topics.

I'm really glad! A big part of why I eventually became ok with sunsetting it in spite of my worries is that the older videos still exist and there's frankly an absolute shitload of them for anyone to watch

[ryelasrandomfun]

O sad to see that myths has been sunsetted. Are the pins also going to stop? Btw have you watched blood of Zeus?

no the pins are not going to stop

no, journey to the west is also not going to stop, it is a Legends Summarized, I have only sunsetted Miscellaneous Myths

the series is not necessarily permanently dead, but it is not currently happening because it stopped being a fun educational diversion for me and turned into a tedious monthly slog

the myths were extremely fun for me to make and research at a certain point in my life, but my focus has since shifted to a broader and deeper-scoped interest in the evolution of storytelling as a whole, making finding and summarizing individual tales without greater context or analysis increasingly unrewarding for me. there's a more in-depth analysis and explanation in the video.

this is also something that really stressed me out at the time because I was worried that by stopping this series I was letting down the people who'd gotten invested in it, which is honestly probably why it took me over a year to accept that I wasn't having any fun making them. they had been fun once, rewarding, energizing, and it really scared me to think I was outgrowing being able to make something so many people liked. I had no idea what would happen. I didn't know how much of our audience was only sticking around for the shortform snark about mythical doofs who died stupid.

that said, there hasn't been a new misc myth in eight months and apparently nobody who missed the announcement even noticed.

Me: oh haha enuch idk what that is but it sounds like it fits a cat

Me starting to watch Apothecary Diaries and enuch being a guy that’s had his dick cut off so he can’t be tempted by the concubine women:

i mean. Is he neutered…?

my sincerest apologies to everyone who’s had to find out what a eunuch is from my silly cat posts (he is neutered)
