Life UPdate?!

So I am fortunate- I have a job.  I paid to take the test for certification for this job.

I like doing the tasks.

I have been made aware that I have been making some big mistakes.  Half of them are probably other people signed in on my name because I am shit at remembering to sign out, but there was one mistake I am 100% sure I made that is a pretty big oops.

So I got to thinking, and I realized.  I am shit at my job.  I am not fast and I am not accurate.  This makes me feel terrible, because I am getting paid to do terrible work.  I don’t want my name attached if it’s that bad.

But also I realized-  while I may like doing the tasks, I hate the job itself.  I loathe going in to work.  Some days I feel very, very uncomfortable being in the pharmacy.  Some days I hate when people get emotional about their medication issues.  But it’s completely understandable, and I need to be better about that.

But I’ve been thinking- what I hate is the stress.  This stress is different from other jobs because I am literally taking a persons life in my hands.  I thought I could handle it, but this mistake I mentioned.  I typed the wrong strength of a medication, and somehow the pharmacist working verified it.  What if next time I make a mistake it’s a completely different medication, or extended release instead of immediate release?

Healthcare is completely unforgiving of mistakes and I am the type of person that makes mistakes periodically.  I feel like if I stay a pharmacy tech then I am opening myself up for more future mistakes that will be costly to my patients.

Next step for me is to talk with my managers about this decision.  I will likely go back to wroking the floor in retail.  Ugh gross but it will pay the bills and that is why I work so.  Yeah.  I’m not sure how long I’ll stay with the company to be honest and fair.

I’ll miss the work fam and the actual work but I think leaving this job is in my best interest and the patients best interests.  I am still taking my PTCB exam because, well, it’s been paid for and also I can’t get a refund.

Woo, gettin a little emotional about this desicion.  It wasn’t made lightly but the past few months it has been on my mind to maybe find another job.  Finding out about all these mistakes that I haven’t been catching- that just drove in the nail.

So where am I going from here?  In the next blog post to follow! :)

DPXDC Idea: Mother of Monsters Dan(yal)

Specifically Fem!Dan because I made this in mind with my Fem Danyal Au bUT. The best part about Dan is that I get to play dress up with her, and Fem Dark Dany is gonna go by Layal (pronounced lae-el) because it means "the nights" and it sounds similar to Danyal, and I think she'd choose that name to mock Dany. ANYWAYS

Mother of Monsters Danyal. She may be evil but she's an Al Ghul at her core (even with vlad's soul merged with hers - however, considering that Layal looks and sounds like Dany, she considers that soul to be the more dominant one.) and loves animals. And she might be heartless, but she adores the monsters of the infinite realms.

Mother of Monsters Layal who hates everyone but utterly dotes and adores on every manner of beast she comes across. Stealing the eggs and infant young beasts of the Infinite Realms to raise as her own because she wanted them. Her own island full of monsters, a monstrous menagerie of her own. She steals most often from poachers or exotic pet keepers and other menageries -- the full grown beasties can keep their young.

And with every monster she raises, she can shapeshift their features onto herself, allowing her to change her shape from humanish to any matter of monster or hybrid creature. She calls herself their mother, and them her children. Her precious little babies, capable of incredible mass destruction and mayhem.

From little griffins the size of kittens, to stymphalian vulture chicks, and leviathan young hatching from eggs the size of her pinkie, to creatures native of the ghost zone that didn't even have names in the living realm. There really wasn't a limit to what or who she would take in and she didn't limit herself to any form of mythology. If they were beasts and they were unwanted, she wanted them. And as such, amassed her own mini army of "children" willing to listen to her any command.

Earth doesn't know what hit it when she attacks them.

There are many monstrous forms she could take on, the first one I've thought of is a combination of various serpentine/reptilian features. The body of a naga -- her lower half long and serpentine, her upper still human -- with spiked fins connecting from the bottom of her arms to her sides, ever seen Sinbad where Eris goes "you might have seen my likeness on the temple walls" and her arms do that fin thingy? Same concept. Her hands are webbed and taloned, perfect for slicing through the skin of the living, and her teeth are needle-sharp and shark like. Her hair can either be spiny and feathery-like like the spines of a lionfish, or frilled like a frilled-neck lizard. It's perfect for dealing and doting on her reptilian and amphibian-inclined darlings.

I'm more of a fan of aus where Dan is a sibling of Danny's rather than their kid, so Layal's redemption(..?? probation?) proceeds with her legally becoming Danyal's "twin" sister, who had been lost to the foster system before the Fentons adopted Dany, and was only recently reunited with her. The two of them look so alike that the lie is easy to take root and spread.

Layal is very indignant to the fact that she's now ten years in the past and has to restart her menagerie all over again. Do you know how much blood and sweat went into raising those children? How dare you separate them from their mummy. Although she'll admit she does miss their juvenile years, so she won't mind (too much) needing to raising them again. Dany is helping her retrieve all of them though, dammit.

long story short: epic the musical's "Scylla" has a CHOKEHOLD on me and this is the result of it

Unlike her Dan counterpart, Layal's voice is dancing and sirenic. It's purposely alluring and motherly, in order to lure people into a false sense of security until she feeds them to her "children." Echidna doesn't have shit on her. She almost seems friendly and reasonable, until you get too close and realize it was all an act and she drops it to metaphorically swallow you whole. She's like an anglerfish that way. She and Dany both sound like Scylla from Epic.

hello :]

that's a big bulk of pictures but I had so many ideas to draw that I literally had to stop myself from drawing too much lol

had so much fun stylizing them (if that's okay ^^') and thinking of their different dynamics ur ink is especially fun to draw they're so cool...

drawing ur designs also made me notice a bunch of different little details like nightmare having his little gang's souls on his chest, of the lines on dream's and nightmare's faces, or ink's flowy scarf and a bunch of other stuff. and these little details make me appreciate them even more :}}}

DUDE OMG OMG I AM FREAKING OUT SO BAD /VPOS

THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD IN YOUR STYLE!!!!!

AND THEY WAY THEY ACT!!!! AUGH........it's so real.........you did so well with their characters...I.....guh.......I am diesing........

ed taking the time to talk to wolf/stede bunnet because everyone else in his life sees him as either some monstrous, volatile entity or some legendary, mythical being. and it's perhaps the first time since first talking to stede that someone or something is looking upon him with fresh eyes and not seeing him for anything but himself. and it's why he begins to tear up almost immediately, because all he wants is that simple but deep understanding.

all he wants is the grace stede immediately gave him.

all he wants is to be seen again.

he sorely misses having those gentle, warm, non-judgmental eyes looking upon him, looking upon edward and all that he is. and if talking to a little bunny can give him just a whisper of that, just a whisper of love, of his best friend, then so be it.

I think what hits me, time and time again, is that the tragedy isn't in the actual act of killing the dragons, per se. It's that they were born with such love and purpose, and somehow lost their way. To the point that there was no walking back from it. That their own mother said that there was no other way- the only answer to save their world was in their deaths.

Tyria is healing in the wake of the loss of the Elder Dragons. Even after all the pain and fear, the world will recover. We already know Orr was healing, as early as S3 when we reached Siren's Landing. I'd assume other areas are similar, even if we haven't seen it directly.

And it is still a story of hope. That so long as we stick together, keep moving forward. One foot in front of the other. We can succeed and, ultimately, survive.

But hope came at the loss of children whose mother couldn't have known how her loneliness would shape the world, and her own end.

Feliz aniversário, Celso Portioli!! 🥳🎇🎇

You know what’s funny? I think SE Hinton would really like me until she saw what I’ve done to her characters. Like I’m a teenage boy who works at a horse stable, writes a lot, likes cars and girls and roughhousing and other stereotypical “guy” things. I wear leather jackets and hang around weird parts of town, and I’m not great at school but am also smart enough to do really well on tests. I love her books because they’re the only books that I’ve genuinely enjoyed in literal years, to the point where I forced my little sister to let me read them to her out loud.

but then I’m out here drawing/writing Stevepop which would probably give her an aneurysm lol
