I HAVE STOLEN THE GENDER

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.

and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.

And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.

something that kinda ticks me off in the bug community is when people act like a bug has to be a useful part of the ecosystem to deserve to exist. Like for example whenever mosquitos get hated (like where people are like we should kill mosquitos entirely) people's responses are always "well mosquitos are actually polinators and do..." like. yeah i get that but just bc they are helpful isnt what gives intrinsic value! its really annoying to me, because the response to posts like that (the hating of bugs) shouldnt be "oh but its helpful!" it should be "damn. thats honestly a really weird thing to say, and the fact that you think we should eradicate an entire species (weather or not its "annoying" or "scary") off the face of the planet is a huge red flag to me, an annoying/scary individual."

like thats actually horrible of you to say.

Canada Post Strike 2 electric boogaloo

well it's gonna be as clear as it possibly can until there's more overall coverage on the situation

but for now I've put the entire store into vacation mode

what this means is that you won't be able to buy items such as prints, stickers, buttons etc from the shop

BUT

if you're determined enough, you can still communicate with the shop in order to set up custom commissions that we can eventually run through snap ship for shipping (hopefully) or wait til the strike clears.

Cuz like I can still WORK on custom pieces even if they can't be put into the mail quite yet

I've still got a market booth at the night market (415 king st, toronto) 4 out of 5 weekends in june (it's open friday saturday and sunday afternoon/evenings) so if you're LOCAL then you can skip the shipping nightmare entirely and just come by one of the weekends and pick up your stuff that way

but for the most part I'll try to focus more on streaming and maybe digital art in the meantime!

I'm on twitch at

for saturday streams and potentially more game streams

there's a ko-fi shop that has cross stitch patterns, pay-what-you-want colouring pages and other such miscellaney

and a patreon if you just feel like tossing a handful of change upon my person in order to support the daily calligraphy cards that get posted as free requests

oh also if you're already a patron feel free to show up to a stream and be like "hey can I get a custom card?" cus I will do that for you

I feel like Skyfire/Jetfire would be one of those accounts that posts really random shit, like the oddest questions for random bots to answer (as shown here with Skywarp) and the Decepticons always find ways to make it weird

Was listening to music after studying today, so I figured I'd draw some tiny maglors to round out the day :)

Emergency Commissions

One of my checks was a couple of days late last week, and the more lucrative of my 2 proper jobs has given me only one day of work this week (seems to be system issue?? I'm waiting for a reply from my higher up, there seems to be a queue of sorts) I have no idea when I'm going to get my check this week, either. Although it's supposed to come in on Tuesdays, I have heard from coworkers it is likely to be delayed again. On top of all of this, I have had wifi issues for a week, and I work from home.

I was already going to have to do some commissions to make rent this month before the reduced work hours and wifi issues. I have to pay rent on Saturday, and I do not get a grace period. I cannot emphasize how screwed me, and both of my disabled roommates are if my check doesn't come in on time, which is apparently not likely to happen.

I am setting this goal for $600 which is how much I am going to need for rent if my check does not go through in time. I will update this post accordingly, and turn off rbs if I get my check before rent is due, but tbh if i thought that was happening I wouldn't be making this post.

Anyone who help with this can contact me at my art blog @theartistrans for art like you see above. There may be a bit of a wait because I have 2 jobs and this, but I will mail you the piece if you pay the shipping also.

Dm me for proof or more details. More details are also in my tags.

My brain malfunctioned and I was digging in MTMTE the whole day, forgot to blink, kicked pillow 8 times and was talking with my reflection 6 times

Ended up with 60+ screenshots of nerds being socially awkward/abnormal/straightforward because we use books to talk, not people, silly, cool or sweet, or just facts ahah
