forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

#it was a weird class #it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow #I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy #and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess?#she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason #standing is a lot more tiring than walking #i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life #did not like the teacher tho #on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies)#which is very nice #but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it #like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now #and also kind of racist #she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person #and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner #im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist #she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist #she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately #like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all #also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once #also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips #she was like a walking russian stereotype lol #anyway heres some ink the artist lore

I really want to make a DRDT Confessions account after CH2 is over because I love hearing other people's thoughts and opinions even if I personally disagree with them, I think it would be fun to see what people submit, and I think having spaces like confession accounts is very important when it comes to fandom. but at the same time confession accounts from what I've seen tend to get very out-of-hand (>_>||)

#I don't know how many of you were here last year but #there was an incident on a now-deleted drdt confession account where a person insulted the way DT-Dev typed #and it ended up getting to DT-Dev and hurting their feelings a lot #and then in retaliation some people started saying really gross shit to the one who submitted the confession even after they apologized #it was a whole mess #(fun fact: that whole incident was why I made the DRDT Appreciation blog because I thought the fandom could use some positivity that)#its been a year so I would hope we've all learned our lesson and if I did make a confession account #I would definitely make sure shit like that wouldn't happen #but still...#maybe I'll make a poll about it later #danganronpa despair time #drdt

hrgh every time I think I've come close to forgiving lance fucking parkin I skim the gallifrey chronicles. and then I remember the Horrors.

#listen bc when I read through and play around with AHistory I'm inclined to enjoy and respect his work as a curatative fan historian #but his actual prose writing #it. it beggars belief it truly does it's just atrocious #megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace #everyone in the EDA discord who thinks father time is the worst of it oh boy babes the worst is absolutely yet to come #like I get *why* they gave him the last book of the line because he does (mostly) know his lore extremely well #so it kind of makes sense that he'd be picked to wrap up all the myriad loose ends #and also he's well liked and afaik pretty personable unlike some fuckers I could name and didn't spend years burning bridges #but oh my god oh my god literally everything to do with Fitz and Trix is just. awful. terrible.#guy who absolutely does not understand or respect any of the three of that team TARDIS but especially Fitz #also The Thing With Sam #never happened fuck you lance #also given just how many asspats he gives himself over his command of the lore he fucking got Sam's middle name wrong?!#also it's soooo obvious how much he loves Anji because she's a Capitalist GirlbossTM #he really does not grasp her character development or personal arcs but he thinks he's killing it #like she *is* a Capitalist GirlbossTM but that's not all she is but he's not actually interested in her interiority at all #he just enjoys that she's a fiscal conservative #god the fact that trading futures is the literal very next book after Anachrophobia #one of the best books in the series that explicitly calls out Anji's pro-capitalism stance using time-war-for-profit played for utter horro #immediately followed by...almost the exact same premise but Zany RompTM #it's not that capitalists misusing time travel for profit is inherently bad it's just *these guys* who suck #no lesson is learned! then you fucking get to the fucking gallifrey chronicles and Fitz actually deciding that this very same scheme #'wasn't perhaps unethical' just because it's Trix and Anji doing it #like yeah sure Anji and Trix can have a little insider trading. as a treat. but that is literally the definition of unethical lol #the only reason time traveling to acquire stock tips isn't massively illegal is because it's not fucking real like??#of-fucking-course it's unethical you walnut #parkin you smug annoying self-obsessed lore-obsessed pregnancy-obsessed just barely-plausibly deniably not homophobic asshole #I'm avoiding even bringing up the actual beef with TGC because first of all everyone fucking knows but also it's just.#it's such a goddamn shit awful trainwreck #if parkin wasn't a Fitz-hating homophobic coward he would've ended the gallifrey chronicles the same way he ended the dying days. wink.

not to get on teen titan vol 3's case again but it was the least creative, most artificial titans comic ever and i genuinely blame it for killing the sense of family that every iteration of the titans prior had developed. you wouldn't think that was possible because of how central the theme of found family is to the titans teams but it can be managed by turning young justice into the titans and forcing a sense of maturity by turning them into less sympathetic, less likeable clones of their Real titan counterparts (or just flatten everything that makes them unique, in the case where there is no counterpart to copy) + keeping some old titans that are for some reason best friends with teenagers instead of growing up like the others + throwing in some other characters that the former two groups don't care about whatsoever.

#tt v3 every two mins: titans are family. we have learned this lesson now :)#the characters 2 panels later: we hate these teammates we only invited bc dick grayson made us/we need warriors and dgaf who they are as #long as they can fight.#and all for what? so tim could say he lead a titans team? the worst one ever? or so cassie can say she also led the worst titans team ever #when tim was busy? FOR WHY.#i need a time machine so i can go stop everyone who decided on making yj titans. i need to beat them all up

anyway every spider-man in the multiverse is alone except for miles. can anybody hear me

#every spiderman starts out thinking theyre the only one #every spiderman learns the lesson that theyre only one person and they cant save everyone #every spiderman grits their teeth and keeps going in face of tragedy #every spiderman learns about the multiverse and when they realize there are other people like them #they pass on their own trauma in a cycle --- this happened to me and it had to happen so that this good thing could also happen #which means that this terrible thing has to happen to you too #thats their universal truth: they cant save everyone alone so they need to maximize their influence to save as many as they can #but miles? miles morales is the spiderman who got bit already knowing who spiderman was #miles is the spiderman who had six different spider-mentors help him come into his own #miles is the only spiderman whose introductory monologue ends with 'and im not the only one'#miles is the one who looks at all these people whove decided they Have to suffer alone and says #'ok but what if i helped you'#'what if instead of taking the good with the bad we still got the good but stopped the bad anyway'#'sure i can't save everyone alone but the whole goddamn point of the multiverse is that im not the only one'#and thats why miles is our hero #across the spiderverse #across the spiderverse spoilers #(tiny amendment actually: miles is actually not the only spider who knows hes not alone right from the beginning #atsv also introduces us to pavitr --- a member of the spider society whos even more of a rookie than miles is #and huh whaddya know: the kid who knew from the start that he wasnt alone is the one whose traumatic 'canon event' is stopped #in a joint effort between him and his friends #yeah that probably isn't foreshadowing or anything)

mutuals should i learn to play the violin i just found a video for learning my very favorite piece of violin music of all time the meditation from thaïs and . well my brother once tried to learn violin and he gave up (he was like ten) but we still have this . fiddle of his. suppose i tuned up this probably not quite adult sized beast and learned the thaïs . a thing ive been thinking about since approximately seventh grade

#no this isn't about all the holmes ive been reading. except when it is #q #there's also apparently a guy who does music lessons violin/fiddle included who is RIGHT on my drive to and from work #so it would be easy to pick up a couple lessons with him as a treat to myself. if i wanted #i could get the basics down online first and then sign up #im seriously considering it #i already have eight thousand hobbies but . it would be good to learn music again. want to do something more versatile than flute this time #like. you can pretty much bring a fiddle anywhere. the uncle i rent from used to bring his to reunions it was great #actually..........no. surely he has it with him and not somewhere in this house #unless

inside out 2 is interesting but it sure is the exact same plot as inside out 1 down to the emotions getting stranded outside hq as a core aspect of rileys isbeliminated and having to start from scratch while joy loses hope and cries while watching memories in a pile of memories that were deemed unimportant before being deus ex machinad by an imaginary cartoon

#inside out 2 spoilers #except joy has not learned her lesson about all emotions and memories being valuable and that she is not in charge #of making the call of which emotions are important. she builds her team up by emphasizing the good they do for riley #and continues to be an absolute control freak who puts an emphasis on her own importance seeming to have learned very little #some could argue that the emotions arent distinct enough or are even too nebulous to be their own emotions #and according to many theories in the subject all emotions come from combining multiple of the core emotions #which is why having nostalgia show up for a gag was... interesting. considering the first movie literally showed us joy and sadness memorie #create nostalgic ones. otherwise i mostly just feel like theyre too disparate and am still shocked how joy is like. the only positive #emotion. period.#anyway yeah it kinda underminded the first movies thesis that all emotions are important and helpful by making anxiety basically plain bad #even despite her explanations of why shes good. like she drops her memory in the sense of self and it immediately sprouts ominously #like idk maybe im just quibbling over foreshadowing in a childrens movie but to keep in line with that original thesis #wouldnt it make more sense to get more corrupt only as anxiety continues to flood it with only her emotion #like basing your entire sense of self and personality/beliefs around one emotion entirely is extremely unhealthy #and like it starts normal and gets more erratic as anxiety becomes the ONLY contributing factor. its probably not that important #okay so joy learns her lesson about the memories. but its still like. girl did you not already basically learn this before

Play careless, sloppy life altering games, end up with soul sucking, depression inducing prizes.

#You weren't playing a role- you became the worst version of yourself 24/7 for 3 years #That wasn't central casting- you used your family and friends #Other actresses could have used this opportunity instead of this arrogant childish racist antisemetic fatshamer #Did you really have NO choice because I don't believe you #You look like hell- get some serious real therapy #Someone at CAA doesn't like you because there is no way this could have gone this sideways by accident #Get rid of your entire team and the clout chasers who were OK to let this happen #Do you know what the truth really is anymore?#You burned it all down- now how are you going to build something better?#Learn the goddamn lessons or you really are a selfish privledged prick #So smug in Concord thinking you could get away from the Hollywood lifestyle but the weak of character knows no latitude or longitude #No boundaries leads to no credibility and no soul #Was it worth it?#The truth will set you free- no one deserves your loyalty in this #Someone with your heart should never hate themselves because this is what can happen #You owe it to yourself to put in the hard work to heel yourself

He won't leave my fucking friends alone.

#tales from diana #sorry this is about that bad friend i have to break up w that ive posted abt on and off the past couple weeks/months maybe #i still have to send him that final 'i dont wanna speak to you ever again'#ive been fucking busy ok. my summer has been full of family events and obligations #i have one brother getting married and the other having a baby!!! i have a LIFE and SHIT TO DO and PPL TO BE THERE FOR other than YOU!!!#i havent spoken to him in over 2 months too and he knows it's bc i don't want to #he's so difficult bc you can't fucking tell him the truth. you can't!!! he can't handle it!!! do you know how hard it is to handle???#the things i have to do to cut him off. because he doesn't respect normal fucking boundaries. make ME feel like im in the wrong #like im the shady person and the liar.#i can't drift from him bc hell pull me back #i can't communicate w him bc he won't hear anything i have to say he'll just turn it around & make it abt himself.#he literally does not understand ppl having motivations to do things that don't relate to him #and he has no sympathy for what he does to other ppl. nothing but self-pity for how they don't like him anymore.#if he dealt w someone who put him through half of what he put ME through. no he couldn't actually.#i only allowed him to manipulate me for so long because i cared abt him. who i thought he was.#and he just point blank period doesn't care about other ppl. so he could never go through what ive gone through w him.#i feel like all this friend breakup has proven to me is that im actually a good person and it can be used against me by ppl who arent #some fucking lesson i needed to learn huh?#i hate feeling as negatively towards anyone as i do towards him. it's so hard for me not to have at least #a little spark of hope deep down for everyone. even ppl ive removed from my life before. i dont HATE them #theyve disappointed me or insulted me or mistreated me but at least their motivations seemed simple and clear #and MOST of them seemed to understand SOMEWHAT that they were in the wrong #even if they don't admit it to me or still find an excuse to hate me. whatever #i can see them as ppl who might feel remorse someday and grow from it #i do not see it in this guy. bc if you have a problem w him he'll only make it 20 times worse.#he's so selfish it genuinely baffles me to think about it. and he's one of the least honest ppl ive ever known.#he'll never see the error of his ways. i do not believe he has that capacity.#and will i say none of this to him? no #im just going to say thanks for leaving me alone these past couple months. it's been good for me.#i don't think i can continue our friendship anymore for my own sake.

nazuna studying to become a teacher is something that can be so personal

#hardest part abt magigirls is Not drawing all the ruffles #but instead coming up with a heartwarming and meaningful lesson to be learned from each story #though i guess no matter how small or unimportant the meaning behind a story might seem #as long as you're sincere about it there will always be someone who needed to hear those words exactly #hmm actually i could use that sldkjfsks #mar's midnight rambles

i don't trust anyone that had a good time in middle school. it's a hellish first encounter of what's on the other side of childhood and designed to be a period of adjustment; it's not supposed to be comfortable. if you enjoyed being in seventh grade something is fundamentally wrong with you, and i'm like an animal sensing another animal has rabies or something. don't come any closer or i'll attack.

#in seventh grade i had no friends and was obsessed with learning this fictional language that was created for the myst game universe #they had all the grammar and stuff online and i contacted the guy who invented the language and asked him specific questions #and he answered me every time so i had this whole binder of language lessons straight from him #to this day i hold that guy close to my heart and keep up with his work bc he really came thru for me when i needed someone #he listened at a time when i felt very unheard and made me feel like i mattered and that was important even if it was just about a dumb #game bc it wasn't about that it was about someone telling me i'm not alone after all and there are other people like me out there #and that helped me see beyond the very small world of seventh grade into a greater future that contained possibilities for happiness #and it also made me realize that the internet could help me find and connect with people over even the most obscure fascinations #which was huge for me bc i had mostly been using the internet to print sailor moon pictures and spam chat rooms with #shakespeare monologues bc kids are annoying on the internet and i was weird but i was still a kid #anyway first date question: how do you feel about the seventh grade experience? this reveals so much about a person so quickly #i'm brilliant follow me for more excellent life advice i post unedited as it occurs to me in real time #personal #cyan worlds

climbing the walls this is so excellent

#tm #like oh i could really spiral out about this #this man has spent 10 years consumed by grief and loss and pain and revenge...he didn't really have a life outside it #he's such a good and caring man but he was also ready to use pretty much anyone and anything to get him to red john; to finish his quest #and then he did; he got red john and he's on the other side of that quest but....now what #that grief and loss and pain don't go away; it's all still there with him and now what does he do with it #without being able to channel it into this quest how does he deal with it #and i don't think he has; even in his two years away i don't think he has (because i do think that's something that they would address #or at least i hope the show hasn't let me down yet)#how does he move forward when so much of him is still stuck in the past #and that's not even touching the lisbon of it all #because for all of those 10 years she's been there with him; she's his friend; his partner; his (maybe only??) confidant #she's maybe the only one he really trusts; who he'll actually listen to; who he'll be honest with #(even if he doesn't do it perfectly or even well a lot of the time....re: the above)#and he knows he has feelings for her; he knows she has feelings for him (because he's not an idiot lfjkda)#he knows she wants more with him and he knows he wants it too but how does he do that?#what does that look like how does he he get what they both want when he still doesn't know how to say what that is?#how does he take that risk with her and lose the one constant he's had through everything else?#and at the same time he knows this isn't fair to her; he doesn't want her putting her life on hold for him romantic or otherwise #(he already learned his lesson there; he already got slapped in the face with that realization in that tiny airplane seat)#so yeah he wants her to go out and have fun with this nice man who has none of his baggage #who is able to tell her he likes her and he wants to get to know her better #meanwhile he (the person who maybe knows her better than anyone) is left sitting alone because he doesn't know how to use his WORDS #his memory palace and all his mind tricks and powers of observation are failing him and he has no idea how to let her know what he wants #he doesn't even really know how to let HIMSELF know and so here he is alone on a couch that's an imitation of the one he had at cbi #with the memory of what the imitation of a relationship with lisbon might be like wrapped around his neck #while the possibility of something real walks out the door #(this is the scary possibility that was on the other end of his 'does not compute' reaction and i hate it but i LOVE it #this show is doing so much so so well)

What I really don’t get is job interviewers who make it clear that they don’t want you or don’t think you could do the job well, and when you try to defend yourself they come up with weird fucking contradictions. Like. Why the fuck are you even bothering to interview me at this point. Genuinely why waste your time. I know you’re getting paid to waste this half hour with me instead of doing your actual job, but still

#i don’t want to go back to job hunting man i really really don’t. my knee needs to fix itself and my current job needs to hire me #permanently because ahhhhhhhhhh #i interviewed for a fucking FAST FOOD position about 4 months before i started my current job and the stone cold fucking audacity #the interviewer had was mind boggling. she was fucking arguing with me. she was so snide about everything i said #i was like. i don’t know what you expect from me. this is fast food. most of your workers are 16 year olds who hate their lives #i am here because i hated teaching so much that switching to food service seems fine; and you guys are in the area and hiring #i was upfront about this. like do you expect me to go in with a huge corporate smile? i won’t! learn to appreciate honesty #these are the same ‘nobody wants to work anymore’ motherfuckers. bro i APPLIED. i have a completely clear schedule. I WANT TO WORK #i should’ve walked out of that interview man. i’m so glad she didn’t hire me #i also had this interview for a dental nurse position (it still hurts that i didn’t get that because it would’ve been fucking ideal)#and she was asking questions about how i handle stress and i was like ‘yeah i’m fine’ and she was like ‘but didn’t you just say you left #teaching due to stress?’ and i was like ‘no that’s not what i said. i left due to the level of responsibility’#‘well being a dental nurse also requires a lot of responsibility’ woman unless you’re planning on making me do 50+ hours of unpaid #extra work; in my home; lesson planning… no the fuck it doesn’t #like the only work i’d be taking home as a dental nurse would be my coursework to get the qualification and that’s not at all the same thing #i’m completely fine with studying at home unpaid. i have myself paid out of pocket to study at home. like.#it just really felt like she didn’t want me and didn’t think i could do it. but then she invited me to the next stage of interviews anyway #just to ultimately reject me. whyyyyyyyy… you could’ve saved both of us half an hour & me a 10 minute drive bro #like maybe it’s just me but if i were an interviewer i would.. idk… SHORTLIST PEOPLE WHO I THOUGHT COULD DO THE FUCKING JOB #i don’t know. maybe in interviews i’m saying something really wrong or putting my foot in my mouth or i just have a noxious personality #in which case to be honest i would rather just straight up be kicked out of an interview. i would so much prefer to hear #‘i think we’ve heard enough. thank you for your time but i can tell you right now that i don’t think you’re a good fit for the position.#best of luck in the future’ than ‘it was so nice meeting you; we’ll call you’ and then it’s a rejection #when you fucking Knew it was going to be a rejection. like why keep me there!! why give me any level of hope that i’m going to be escaping #unemployment any time soon. BRO #i respect every company that has refused to even interview me so much more than the ones that have interviewed me just for the fucking sake #of it and sent a manager who was rude as hell #if you don’t think i have the experience or am unsuitable you can just say that bro #personal #rant
