So, I'm probs not gonna do anything too special for the anniversary this year. I just didn't plan for it.
But, I did recently make this sketch for a personal project I'm working on. Will I finish it? Who knows. Y'all should know better than to expect me to finish anything I start.
Hi! Your order from Dine 'n Dash is ready— we've sent our finest delivery driver on over with your food. See you soon!
Project JJ— now officially known as Door2Door (Thanks to everyone that voted!)— is something I have been meticulously working on for almost a full month now, and we're closer than ever to seeing its reveal here on my blog!
I am so incredibly passionate over what Door2Door has become in such a short time. Everything I have drawn and conceptualized for it is unlike anything you've ever seen on this blog before, so keep an eye out for its grand unveiling— you won't want to miss it!
Pepper scared the shit out of me by hiding in his molt-hammock for A Literal Week and I thought for sure he’d moltstalled but no he was just in there getting swole
I name all of my snake plants after Baltimore Orioles players because...I don't know why I do that.....anyway Adley (she/her pronouns according to my parents) and Adam Jones are making the trip with me but Chris Davis is TOO BIG FOR THE CAR and I'm so sad now. That was my emotional support snake plant through my FMLA leave. He has seen the worst of me (mental illness, forgot to water him for a month) and survived. Now he's like four feet tall and I have to leave him behind because he is so big that he takes up more than a third of my luggage space in the car 🥲 I took such good care of him that now he has to live independent of me. Goodbye Chris Davis I will think of you fondly as I encourage Adley to grow big and strong.
Not going to lie, I've been unsure how to feel about a lot of things writing, but I just made myself cry writing a character death that I've had planned since I plotted this novel out and that is reassuring to me for some reason.

When I find the energy to write a minimum of 15k words on the entirety of the shinobi system, Konoha –and its effects and byproducts–, Sasuke, his character, trauma, and his relations to other characters, Naruto and his flaws but also why his antis are –in my so very humble opinion– wrong and I don't fuck with them (respectfully), sns (not strictly through a romantic lens), morality in Naruto and the many themes it covers, and the "villains" and "heroes" of its world, plus all the brainwashing that has occured with essentially every other character all in one post in which all is beautifully interconnected-
No effects versus effects comparison for this video.
I sometimes feel like I'm at the point in my life where I can't learn any more new skills, but video editing always loves to prove me wrong. Just about every AMV I post involves trying something I haven't before, and this video is no exception. It's got glitching VHS effects, "expression shakes," eye-reflection zooms, and more—sometimes made without any tutorial to show me the way! Using what I know to apply effects I want to apply has been such a rewarding, powerful experience.
As a viewer, the highlight of the effects work in this video is likely the VHS look (which often involves actual VHS footage! That I... messed up with static recorded from my VCR and other filters to "look more like VHS footage"). But as an editor, my highlight is the amount of masking—the most I've ever done for any AMV thus far.
Two years ago, I never would have imagined putting together such an effects-heavy AMV, and it is beyond neat to me that creating this kind of fanwork is now in my toolbox. Video editing brings me so much joy.

hmmm should i go through all of the dramas and musicals and other dn medias to compare light's wardrobes there as well as from the anime and manga or is that too much work
will u be doing another zine restock?? I missed both 😭
if i run another zine it will likely be a pre-order (ive already done the maths... i dont have that kind of money for the plans i have) and i will most likely open up a small UGZ preorder or sale : )
i'm watching Apocalypse Now and had a REALLY funny moment just now where i was having a weird sense of deja vu (unrelated to the fact that i'd seen the movie before) about how some of the shots looked and then i remembered that it's because my senior thesis short film also used Zeiss standard speed anamorphic lenses.
The bright red glow of Raph’s ninpo illuminated the hallways as the building settled. The sounds of cracking and rumbling echoed through the building, like thunder in a rainstorm. It wasn’t going to hold for long. Dust from the concrete started to fill the space, making it difficult to breathe, and harder to see.
“Help!” A tiny voice called out. It came from my right, but I couldn’t see anyone. “Help! I’m slipping!” Slipping? Oh no, they’re holding onto something. They’re about to fall. Look down. There was a giant hole in the ground, and a small hand gripping the edge. The floor was barely holding on, and just above it, a support pillar was caving under the weight. That was a loaded space. He had to move.
“Kid, if you can hear me, I need you to let go!”
“What!?”
“Let go!”
“But- I’ll get hurt,” his voice cracked.
“You’re going to have to trust me,” I said as comforting as I could, “I’ll catch you, I promise.”
A chill ran up my spine as the very nature of the world felt colder and darker as that terrible purple monster returned to the corner of my eye. Something that always made me pause, just for a second and turn my head. Nothing. Nothing was really there. They weren’t really here. It’s just a mind game, a trick of the light, something I still can’t explain. But I could hear his voice. Whispering words that carried the weight of screams. I woN,T mÆKe Įt iÑ tïMe. I hAve nØ iDęa wHErë hĒ Įs. I dOn,T kńOw Whæt I’m d°1ng. Agh, this isn’t the time. The kid wasn’t letting go- but the massive pillar was and the ceiling collapsed.
“DROP! NOW!” The little hand slipped over the edge.
OKAY OKAY I'M GONNA POST SOME OF MY RAMBLINGS FROM THE GROUP CHAT BC. I'm SO EXCITED about what I fucking scored (these are just snippets I Talked. A Lot LMFAOO)
Okay. Context. Just one pic that doesn't do it full justice bc it has cool little details too (ESP: little straps near the waist that button/unbutton, EXTREMELY USEFUL AND IDEAL to carry my noise cancelors with) (will hit image limit so just saying Dude Trust Me)
Okay. GO
LIKE. LIKE. I went on a whole ass journey about this. The vest I'm talking about in that last screenshot is this really gorgeous handmade green/beige blocked w flower print (it's like. Femme Masc. To me) that I got at a craft fair, for reference! Something I Barely wear/honestly save for special occasions bc 1) the Collar I did not factor in The Collar BUT. I FIXED THIS. WITH SAFETY PINS. Honestly I don't know why I didn't think to do that sooner. And 2) It's... incredibly difficult to pair w my usual jacket. If not impossible.
THIS... CAN CHANGE.... like something I said that I cut out here is The Potential. Of customizing this jacket Intentionally. So that I can layer it in both directions -- worn on top of things ofc but FOCALLY. Easy to wear Underneath something.
IDK IDK I'M JUST SOOOOOO PICKY ABOUT MATERIAL AND HOW THINGS FIT so it's like INSANELY COOL. That I scored something Like This that fits Perfectly to my preferences AND is really good material ESP when I've been wanting to start a new punk jacket For Forever...... again, with more intention this time! I don't have any clear plans or ideas. But I am thinking about The Purpose of it, what I Want from it, and exactly How I want it. And going from there!
