MDZS Severance AU: Get me out of here.
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mdzs au#mdzs modern au#severence#It is imperative to this AU that outie WWX and LWJ 1) know each other and 2) dislike the each other.#Meanwhile their innies are actively misusing their allotted breaktime to kiss sloppy style.#I know that some people might feel strongly against WWX being pro-severence here but here me out:#the pitch for severance would absolutely appeal to him. Letting another version of him to the hard work? Not remembering it?#Yeah... he would be absolutely into the idea at the start. I think once he learned more about it he might shift his stance.#As much as most people like to see him as a morally upstanding guy...#...the severance procedure 100% sounds like something he would write a theoretical paper on. if not *invent*.#I'll be back later to write more thoughts. Today's comic is unfortunately brought to you by stomach acid woes.#leaning over to draw was really uncomfortable and painful and I'm not really thinking well at the moment.#Sorry today's comic is both late and sloppy.#Edit: Okay my health is getting back to par so my brain is back online.#So glad many people are on-board or agree with ‘Pro-Severance Outie WWX’. It just fits too well.#Okay LWJ analysis time. I’d put him in O+D with NHS. for the hijinks and just how their characters would function in that role.#LWJ’s innie is caught with a sense of loss and longing. Something is missing. He’s never alone but always lonely.#WWX’s Innie feels the hollowness that outie WWX denies and buries in distraction and work.#Both their outies are Constantly on the move and working. Their outies connect over a slow day.#Two people who both feel empty and see that emptiness in each other.#WWX would have been in the basement for years. LWJ is new and struggling to adjust. They ignite each other’s will to fight.#…This AU might pull another comic from me at this rate. I have a few more things to say.

Rooftop Chat
#I always had a hard time with writing the dynamic between Ace and Rev#I thought it would be something like Ace can get very irritated with Rev so he doesnt bother to hang out with him#and Rev knows this and tries to get on Ace's good side by being nice or listening to him in conversations#Rev will have to learn he can't get along with everyone and Ace will have to learn at some point to give Rev some kind of chance#Or something like that I'm not sure but I do wanna expand on them#Also if you didn't realize I did try some new techniques for this piece of art#Also Also I accidentally posted this on the community serve and not on my actual blog so I had to fix that quick :p#rev runner#loonatics unleashed#art#loonatics rewrite#my art#loonatics fanart#ace bunny#loonatics unleashed au

Your stories make me want to play more n more interesting forms of Rimworld. I’m pretty scared to leave peaceful mode most of the time though! I’m a sandboxier, not a ‘risk the lives of these characters I’m attached to’-er. How do you manage the power creep of enemies with so few colonists (for the mechinator story)?

Gotta be honest, I do panic a little bit when I get big raids, or mech raids, or cultist chanters or whatnot. I often just pause the game and make some tea or snuggle my cats for a bit before I come back and try to think of the best ways to deal with the situation without getting my best mechanitor bois killed in the process.
The killbox has definitely helped despite its architect being a bit of an idiot (that's me, by the way), and it's nice to know I can throw the mechs at any baddies as a distraction and resurrect them later if things go sideways.
Also, I'm comforted in the knowledge that I can call XiaoLiang from Arwell if I need a convenient Man-In-Black; he's only, like, a half day's walk away and (so far) doesn't seem to mind being summoned on a whim.
I confess I have reloaded a save now and then, but it's a single-player game, and in the end, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you're enjoying yourself. My favourite difficulty setting is "Adventure Story" because it has enough danger to make for interesting plots and drama, but also plenty of room for character development and silly colonist interactions.
#asks#rimworld#gracie plays#A Mechanitor's Message#art#my art#traditional art#unpolished art#tea or hot chocolate are good to have on hand when playing rimworld#something nice and comfy to help soothe your nerves#a purry cat is also very good for that sort of thing#but only one of my cats is the snuggly type#so I make do with what I get#the fun thing about rimworld is that there are always new colonists to get attached to#so even if you lose one colony in your first try of a new difficulty setting#you can grieve your loss (making affectionate comics of your pawns helps if you like that sort of thing)#and then start over and learn from the past!#it's a wonderful game in its endless possibilities#I'm so glad I live at the same time as rimworld#thanks for the ask!!#have a super-duper day!!!

I watched the trailer for an Australian film and it came with a very interesting warning that I was previously unfamiliar with but since researched:
"WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that the following program may contain images and voices of deceased persons."
#culture#macks musings#I'm posting this here because I think this is really interesting and maybe someone else also finds it interesting to learn about#there are so many cultures in the world and so many practices#and I am always delighted to learn something new

ran into my first student using chatgpt and honestly i was gonna be mad until i thought harder about Why he was using chatgpt and i was like well. that part of the assignment was kind of useless bullshit anyway so yk what that’s on me. consider it gone.
#i think having a new frame of mind while teaching this semester has been sooooo helpful for me#because any time something doesn’t go the way i planned i’m like ok what’s going on here. what’s not clicking#and i think Because my class is so open-ended and i really encourage them to write as genuinely and honestly as they’d like to#most people do end up doing that. like genuinely that’s the only use of chatgpt i’ve spotted in four weeks of class#and ofc that won't Always be the case but most of the time i have to think like#ok am i giving them too tight deadlines or too much work at once#or is the assignment description confusing or is it just busywork that i've assigned for no reason#and i think framing it along those lines. has Reallllllllllllly helped#bc i know for a fact my class is one of the most engaged rn out of the department#literally like almost perfect attendance perfect assignment rate everyone meeting the requirements#and i'm proud of it!!#i really want them to Learn yk and. hopefully they are#anyway. just something to think about

something something foils moving in opposite directions Goku's always happy to seek and fight stronger opponents because he spent most of his life being the strongest guy in the room and Vegeta wants to be the strongest/is always exhausted to find stronger opponents because he spent most of his life having to navigate his survival around the whims of the strongest guy in the universe room and so Goku has a foundation of safety and stability and so spends his time craving challenge and adventure and Vegeta has a foundation of challenge and adventure and spends his time craving safety and stability and the overlaid section of their venn diagram is that the only way they know how acquire and maintain those things is through battle
#thank you this has been the laziest media analysis post of my career#dbtag#media analysis#something something a game to goku is a threat to vegeta etc#there's a pinned thought here about how Vegeta also didn't learn about the dragon balls until he was ?? 30?? and so all loss is permanent#and goku has been familiar since he was ~12 and hasn't faced a permanent consequence since he was 10 years old and even then he got closure#sometimes I think about how Vegeta saw Trunks die and how Krillin was mad at him for reacting since they could fix it with the dragon balls#but Vegeta has very limited experience with the dragon so to him in that moment that was permanent and Trunks was Dead. Forever.#And we talked before in a 2am post about Vegeta having never experienced grief born of love and I stand by it because his feelings then wer#still very new and very odd and not something he'd accepted until that moment so it was raw power but not as powerful as it could've been#all this to say in my heart of hearts I think Vegeta deserves to retire at the end of super (if super continues) -- not as a warrior#but as an infantryman. he's a prince and now he's got his domain and his family and his planet to look after and I think he deserves#to go home and stay home and help piccolo bully gohan into training more often when goku inevitably leaves to hop the multiverse#geets wanted to take a sabbatical when Bulla was born but didn't get the chance because Freeza coming back freaked him out too much#but whether freeza gets a redemption arc or gets defeated -- Granolah's arc seemed to shift his perspective on being the strongest#and I just grips fist I just think it would be a really nice full circle for Vegeta to inherit his throne in a way he never expected and#finally get his kingdom to look after and protect in the way that he was looking forward to being king of his own planet all those years ag#Goku's got Broly and Jiren and Hit and all the others to keep him busy and happy now -- and if Freeza gets a redemption arc he'll probably#continue playing slap-ass with Goku for the rest of his life -- and Vegeta's got Gohan and Piccolo and Goten and Trunks#I just think them getting a nice bittersweet 'This is where we part ways' would be really nice for both of them because !!#They couldn't have done this without each other. They couldn't have known this kind of life was possible without each other.#So they swap lots and live happier than they ever imagined they could be#especially since Vegeta has proved to himself that he can close any gap Goku creates in progress that's not a concern anymore#And obvs the door's always open!! There's no point closing it Vegeta's tried the locks they don't work on Goku#anyway here's me putting the whole essay in the tags again#this isn't an essay as much as it is stream of consciousness tag blogging#anyway i'm too lazy to write fic or draw comics so we get ramblings instead

Pondering whether I should start working on writing another lengthy tutorial on the art of gifmaking/photo editing on Photoshop, even though there are already lots of tutorials out there and here for that.
But I'm also feeling more like... I could do a full-length tutorial (on GDocs maybe?) with multiple chapters, that's covering up the whole process from downloading/recording/ripping videos to installing & setting up Photoshop itself, to learning how to use a few basic tools and making your own coloring/recording actions etc. to finally saving and exporting your creations, ready to be shared here or on other websites/platforms.
I know Tumblr gifmaking is kind of a dying form of 'art' already: people aren't interested in it as much as anymore as they used to be, not to mention reblogging gifsets, and so many are also using mobile phones these days where gifs, at least on Tumblr mobile app, look blurry and kinda just really bad most of the time, so, I don't know. Could be pointless; a huge waste of time for me also.
On the other hand... I have a lot of knowledge from gifmaking and using Photoshop from the last 10+ years, at least. I have tried and used different tools and different methods, and figured out the techniques that work best for me, that help me create more things / a lot of faster. I've also come across and solved a few PS-related problems and glitches along the way, so maybe I could talk about how to solve some of those problems, too.
Could be an interesting writing project. For me, at least. To type down and put together all I know, everything I've learned during these past few years and see how far I've come, if not for else.
#personal#speaking to the walls here maybe but#yeah i don't know i've thought about it lately#it could be interesting#since tumblr has its own limitations and issues i thought i could post it somewhere else like docs#so i can always edit it afterwards as well#but yeah#i guess i'm saying here i could be typing one one of these days and if there are people who want to learn to make their own#from a scratch but don't know where to begin or what to do#or if you're more experienced but you still want to learn something new (maybe)#well. here i am i guess :D

the thing that's made me feel most like myself after weeks of bad vibes (seasonal depression) is impulsively buying a secondhand banjo online and sitting in my room drinking a cup of nettle tea and experimenting with random notes. i have never played a banjo before in my life but something about it feels very very right and i don't know what the purpose of this post was really other than to say:
a) you will feel like yourself again;
and b) there are parts of yourself you haven't discovered yet waiting for you. they'll be a fun surprise.
#like damn it feels so nice to play#even if i'm not good and i keep stumbling over where to put my fingers on the frets#and i can't quite get the speed i'm supposed to#it just feels nice to learn something new and make a pretty sound#i don't have a case for it yet so it's just propped up in a corner and i love it#i can't wait to play again tomorrow#nettle tea always makes me feel like me#i should harvest nettles again in spring and make my own#nettle talks

Well, I didn't get any writing done, but I did watch the Wiggles documentary.
#look it was a compromise!#i was babysitting#these children were cranky and driving me nuts#this gives them music and me a documentary to learn things from#bad news: songs in my head forever#good news: actually pretty interesting#i'm always fascinated by the fact that no matter how strange or niche a type of art is#there's always people behind it#with ordinary lives and thought processes that go into what they make#and it was fun to see the very sensible and human ideas that go into creating something so wild#this wouldn't have been quite so shameful except that i kept watching after the kids were gone#instead of writing anything

ugh I reallllyyyyy didn’t want to get in on this but like
The assumption that all atheists are people who’ve “never touched a religious text in their life” basically says to me you have a specific view of atheists and have probably not known many.
Most of them grew up IN the system and DO know the text and THAT’S why they walk away.
If you’re gonna make a whole post on ppl not using nuance with CR stuff right now the least you can do is use nuance yourself and not paint an entire group of people with a brush that TV taught you, or a bunch of white men into power *cough* Dawkins *cough* coopted a movement in a society where to not believe in god is synonymous with being immoral.
So just keep in mind, the representation of people without faith that you see on TV or twitter isn’t the majority and 9 times out of 10 isn’t correct at all.
thanks ^_^
#I learned a new word the other day#apatheism or something#b/c there isn't a word for what I am#but like I know that people who don't know what I am will paint me with the nuance-less brush of#oh you're atheist or whatever#but yeah#maybe also pick up on the nuance that Matt's putting down#that not all the Prime deities are the saammmme#can't paint them all with a brush too#just funny that so many people saying I want to be free to not worship anything rn brings so much ridicule#I'm sad ppl are taking a really fascinating complicated take on gods and such is being turned into this stupid fight#just BREATHE please#yes I'm sub-blogging a little b/c I don't want to get into it#I just want ppl to keep in mind that some people out there are ppl too#sorry I don't mean to go off but it's a sensitive point for me#something I never talk about b/c of opinions like that out there#can't wait to see my follower count drop b/c this sorta thing always does T_T#I just wanna be me and make the world a better place isn't that enough#Tria rants
