A procession of confessions.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan xichen#jin guangyao#lan wangji#When Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao flew into the scene I honestly had to hit pause and catch my breath.#I did not expect them to waltz in and start flirting with each other.#With this comic I have officially drawn all sides of 3zun doing something homoromantic with each other. Nice!#Lan flirting is offering to organize events. “Please...let me open up my planner...do you want to create a shared google calendar with me?”#“Oh...we will have to spend so many nights at a desk working out logistics. Do you want to see how good I can balance these accounts?”#Lan events probably have the best 'stayed within budget' reputation of all the clans.#What I mean to say is...Where are the Lan Wedding planner AUs? Actually scrap that: ALL the sects as rival wedding planners.#The Jins would do high end clients with huge budgets. Lans do traditional style weddings. Yunmeng Jiang promises fun and colour.#Sit with my vision for a moment. I'm going to move on to another topic but don't *not* marinate on that idea.#Pour one out for Lan Wangji. For having to sit through all this flirting and confessing while he ruins his own chances.#He will have to wait many years before living out his romantic fantasies. Until then...he must wait in the wings for his cue.

I’m sorry to say it but TV shows need to have smaller budgets again. In fact everything needs to have smaller budgets maybe it will actually encourage some fucking creativity.
Bring back the 22 episode low budget series. The people are desperate.
#like I’m a tired of entirely cgi worlds and 8 episode shows#some of the best things we have were created because that was the best they could do on the budget.#not to shit of cgi because cgi has done some wonderful things but it should be there to enhance the story not tell the entire fucking story#marvel movies#don’t get to have big budgets anymore until they can prove they know how to use it#film#tv shows#tv series#so much of the character and chemistry is just lost nowadays because they are trying to cram a complex story into 5 episodes#how is a show going to be about a friendship and we barely get to see the friends just be friends?#anti natla

Me watching the industrial and commercial demand go up while there is low residential demand knowing that this will cause a labour shortage.
#cities skylines#like STOP!!!!!! YOU HAVE INDUSTRY PLEASE THE POPULATION IS SUFFERING#side note i cant figure out why none of my citizens are educated I HAVE SO MANY OF ALL OF THE SCHOOLS AND MY EDUCATION BUDGET IS MAXXED#i did just discover paths however and i am very very excited about that#today i set up paths and created transport links i have a bus station and a metro :]#problem is i had to remove the trainlines due to thrm being in the way but that means that now the indusyrial district covers the butt of#them#so now even when i unlock trains i dont know how im going to re establish them#side note surely thats going to cause some issues to the other parts of the england map#wait my map is the shape of england where are the trains coming from. this is an island#i am a bit miffed though as the map put me in like. sommerset county but im not allowed to access the sea since its not an unlockable tile#which means that i have NO WATER#ive had to buy all the way up to the river thames to get water and pump all that shit into the bristol channel!#anyway me getting rid of the trains#im just like richard beeching#sigh.#yeah america has their train issues but hey!!!!!! all our shit is privatised and its bad#anyway

#Fifteen episode 2. Mmmmmmhhhhhh#The animation quality DOES get worse. This episode shows it lol#So many static frames stretching for so long... I feel so sorry for the animators.#I still stand by the fact that if studios can't provide enough budget or time to their animators seasons simply shouldn't be released.#But after all who am I to talk...#The scene of Dazai shooting at the soldier makes my blood freeze. Rimbaud throwing books in the fire is equally upsetting#Like I /know/ it's an anime about literature with constant metafiction references–#and that this too has a symbolic meaning and is *supposed* to be upsetting but that said.#Seeing whole books being thrown in the fire is such a disturbing sight that calls for such a visceral response in me 😭😭😭#The amv opening is nice! Makes me even more bitter about season 5 one lmao. Of the kind#“not only we had to get a amv opening (((while we deserved a wholly ss/kk focused opening)))‚ we even got a bad amv ending at that”#Mmmmhhhh I hateeeeeee how they handled the Sheep 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Seriously this is just another bug instance of#“me and the author have WHOLLY different views of what human nature is like”#I just... Don't think... Children joining together in an hostile environment would act like that. I'm so much more of a t/pn kind of guy.#Children who come together to survive would protect each other and especially would trust each other. Why is there such a big lack of trust#Why doesn't Shirase trust Chuuya? Why doesn't Chuuya trust Shirase (with handling more information)? It's just dumb#It's dumb. It sounds stupid from the very plot aspect that Chuuya would act so shady and suspicious with the Sheep instead of being open–#about what his course of action is. It's like he was trying to have them turn on him. It's stupid of Shirase to mistrust Chuuya–#when in eight years he never gave them any reason to doubt of him.#And I know right as I'm writing this that someone is going to read it and think “you're completely missing on the unbalance of power that–#creates these dynamics of lack of trust” but the thing is exactly that I don't see why that unbalance of power would ever come to be!#They're all just kids. They're aware of that. If Chuuya never had malicious intentions towards Shirase‚ I don't see why he would ever fear–#his betrayal. Likewise‚ I don't see why Shirase and the other Sheep members would ever be so manipulative and disrespectful towards–#Chuuya if he's been nothing but kind to them (and we have no reason to think otherwise)?#It all comes down to: I think people are inherently good and willing to help each other. The author thinks not lmao. It is what it is#But I wish you could see t/pn. Where kids are constantly trying to outwit each other in order to OUT-SACRIFICE THEMSELVES for the others lo#I love t/pn it's my life... I miss it#random rambles#And if anyone would like to argue that Dazai specifically set them off to betray each other... Yes I DO understand that's what the story–#is suggesting. I just don't think Dazai - for how good. and infallible he is - is enough to scrape long-term relationships of trust.

Yk when i was making above a living wage and had enough money to cover all my necessities to live plus a little extra to save for the future and do my silly little hobbies, my mental health was great, i was making art and i felt a general positivity towards my fellow humans and my role in society
But now with inflation and the housing crisis, im working solely to pay my landlords mortgage and suddenly i kind of fucking hate my job and every single person i meet isnt that funny how that works
#literally in the last idk year or year and a half#the economy has literally taken almost everything from me#the theft of my wage to pay everyone else's bills has also robbed me of my feeling of security#and thus my joy#and thus my ability to create and follow my passions#and thus my reason to continue to participate in society#which is not something you want to take from people#not to mention my coworkers making significantly more than me and then complaining to me about their cost of living#and how owning your own home isnt as rewarding as it seems cuz they have a mortgage#like ok but you also have two sources of income and can afford two children and a car#i literally could not afford a child if i wanted one#i cant pay my fucking phone bill lisa we are not the same#my partner has to work so hard for us to have enough to eat#he budgets and plans and cooks and uses everything available to him#like no doubt things are tough for everyone but perhaps things are proportionally tougher for some of us

jonathan nolan can always flirt with a really cool concept of the meaning behind humanity without ever landing on a conclusive message or solid point but as long as it’s done in a dope ass setting i will ALWAYS sign the fuck up
#i originally signed up for ella purnell#but o shit#third times the charm bro#he desperately needs a writer friend but fuck me look at how many tv shows i’ve created#i have major problems with his stories but the casting and production will always eat#person of interest#westworld#fallout#literally the same things in different fonts and i’m not even complaining#the budget changes are so funny tho#lila watches fallout#lila watches too much tv

I told my coworkers I'm gonna be living in Toronto for a few months this year and one of them is like "Airfare from YYZ to Scotland is super cheap right now, you should come visit!!!" and it's like $600
#like there's a reason im planning to take trains and rental cars through canada 😭#the airfare up there alone is gonna blow my travel budget#I'm hoping to get to europe at some point this year but that's gonna depend on how much my job will fork over#so like. i gotta convince them i can create content from the trip#and a city in scotland where two coworkers already live is NOT gonna be an easy sell

can't wait to see choicenators bitching about how the survey had no effect for a year while completely forgetting the results of this are likely set to influence the next round of production.
#tunes talks critical#for a bunch of creatives y'all sure do forget how long it takes to create art#let alone needing to finish OVER 12 projects a year with at least 3 or 4 projects debuting simultaneously in a month#and that's without even touching research time/drafting/art assets/music composition#delegation of budgets and working within those constraints#and the worst of all: whoever is community manager on the choice insta page. worst job ever fr

every now and then it really dawns on me that a bunch of strangers are going to pay money to see the exhibit I created and read the words I wrote and see the mannequins I dressed up and like. this is the weirdest kind of pressure.
#like I know this is just kind of how the world works#and by far most things are created by a person (or several)#but like#how#why???? am I solely in charge of an entire exhibit of a museum during peak season#I would say who allowed this but I know exactly who. I see them constantly.#the amount of faith people apparently have in me to pull this off#I GUESS this is imposter syndrome talking but like I just kind of rolled up to the historical clothing world 2.5 years ago knowing fuck all#gave myself a crash course#and apparently I did this convincingly enough that people are okay with putting me in charge of a whole ass exhibit????????????????#and like making this exhibit costs actual money that comes from an actual budget from a government subsidy#and I'm just tossing ideas out there and people go sure yeah you can do that like ?????????????????????????? that easy huh?!?!?!?!?!

From Vintage Finds to Blooming Delights: Crafting Your Perfect Flea Market Garden
Today’s blog post will be the last, but certainly not the least in this months series on garden design and themes. I’ve saved this one for last, as it is my very favorite. I actually combine elements of both the cottage garden and flea market gardening, as I feel they go hand in hand. I love the free form these gardens offer, along with the whimsical elements I can include. I’m super excited to…

Gif Colouring Process | Ramking Set
There are various steps needed to adjust the colours of a gif. Good colouring can match tones of different shots, make colours look more true to life or cohesive, adjust so lighting is kinder to skintones and make scenes generally prettier to look at.
Because gifs allow for fewer colours than videos, it also involves prioritising which colours are needed in a scene and adjusting accordingly.
It can also be used for effects: subtle ones (like in like in gif 4: fading colours to highlight the focal characters in a photograph), or much more dramatic or stylised effects.
This is a tiny tiny glimpse of what gifmakers do when we refer to "colouring". 🖤
#flashing gifs cw#flashing gif cw#gifmaking#gif making#gif colouring#bee.gif#obviously I thought it would be interesting but I also wanted to highlight just how much work goes into each gif#also as a Not White gifmaker that is (mostly) giffing Not White people it's really important to me that I get the skintones right#so that's a huge factor in what makes a good gif to me#and each layer isnt just 'hit the curves button' or 'hit the selective colour button'#each layer is adjusted to that one gif specifically#unless it's from exactly the same scene and exactly the same angle you cant really copy colouring across from one to the other#you're relying on a person and a gif maker as a kind of visual artist to learn what's needed and what actually looks good#and I hate hate hate to turn this negative but it's why it's so hearbreaking when gifs are stolen or reposted without permission#and to counterpoint why its so very lovely when people reblog gifs to share them - or ask the artists to share!#There are some really great tutorials out there on how to make gifs#also gifmaking is really a easy to get into and it takes such a short amount of time to train your eye and create really lovely results#I mean it does make you go hRRRRR I COULD FIX THIS when a show or film lights something badly and doesnt fix it in post lmao#if you're a marvel gifmaker you're stronger than god btw#I justify fixing the shitty lighting in these scenes because the budget of my engineer was about 43p and a button#multimillion dollar blockbusters with teams of professional colourists should not look like that.#i digress#do not talk to me about the third gif I dont want to fucking know I dont care I never want to look at it ever again dghjksghjkrs#my worstie my behated#I was fighting for my life#I had to use red text on it as well because it dropped all the magentas out of the colour slots and it their lips went grey#like also because each gif is shown thorugh lots of iterations of colouring there are fewer colour slots overall#so the change is even MORE dramatic than what's shown here#but I made these mostly as an illustration of how much thought went into the set :)#hopefully the vibe still comes across anyway lol

Everyone is so concerned with whether or not they COULD create and disseminate promotional content for studios, they never stopped to think whether or not they SHOULD
#companies have slashed like classic marketing budgets#bc they loooOoooove unpaid fan promo#think about how often they create collages of tweets#fan reactions#retweet fan art#like….that’s all free promo no?#so why keep doing that when you can take a break out of solidarity#like….you don’t HAVE to#but maybe you should consider it?#idk man people are getting reallllll defensive about “it’s not technically forbidden blah blah#sag aftra strike#sag wga strike

non-anime watchers experiencing Mecha for the first time.
we as a society got over Pacific Rim too fast.
- banging soundtrack just awesome
- lead female character with her own fully realized arc that had nothing to do with a love interest
- the concept of drifting is so fucking cool and prime fanfic material
- those two gay fucking weirdo scientists who drifted together inside a fucking alien brain like hello
- IT PULLS OUT A SWORD IN OUTER FUCKING SPACE
- kaijus are cool. that's all.
#no burn it's just funny to have lived through 2013 tumblr and the years after with many audiences for more Pacific Rim#whereas not knowing how massive and high budgeted the Gundam franchise is.#Let's not forget Eureka Seven the entire NGE series and Gurren Lagan would cater to many different flavours of *big mech fights monster*#Sure del Torro created a love letter to mecha anime so don't be afraid to venture into a new medium#in which giant robots fights monster is a pillar of it's history.#Pacific Rim
