and the jacket continues
#i'm making patches myself now#the back patch and 'this dog bites' i painted by hand#i also embroidered the little pride flags and the trans symbol.......#and painted the trans paw print over a year ago#furry#trans#pride#patch jacket#patches#this whole thing has been such a fun project since i started it and i love that i'll just be able to keep adding to it until it's full

life tip: if you're autistic about music PLEASE invest in a good pair of headphones. life fucking changing
#i have never bought something as expensive as these headphones i got today#but i've had them on for an hour and i just broke down sobbing#because i'm just working on my back patch stencil while listening to music#the quality is incredible and i feel more like myself than i have since i got sick years ago#it's such a little thing but i haven't been listening to music as much since moving in with ri#since. yknow. you kinda need to communicate and talk and you can't be unavailable all the time when u have a long term partner#also ri if you read this i'm in no way blaming you i hadn't realized i'd stopped until just now so do not feel any type of guilt about it#i don't even know how to explain it but it's like i was missing a piece i didn't know was missing#but god. my special interest is music. i keep forgetting.#and now the music being this close to me again and not from a stereo while i'm doing what little crafts my sick body can handle?#god. it's like a breath of fresh air. i need to put more effort into listening to music i don't remember the last time i felt like this#really felt bad about spending so much money on these headphones since we're still not anywhere near to being out of poverty#but god. god. it was so worth it.#genuinely haven't cried like this out of relief in a while#makes me really happy.

once thancred recovers enough to do his job again and they get over that First Time Back, post-ARR wolcred is just them hooking up whenever they're in the same place at the same time. which i'd assume is not that often, what with alphinaud dragging misha around for the crystal braves, and the newly summoned primals, and coils! and whatever else...
misha would take a lapse in action as an excuse to "go for a walk and get some air" (read as: teleport to ul'dah/revenant's toll and harass thancred for a night)
#nekh draws#ffxiv#art#nekh plays ffxiv#thancred waters#misha llied#wolcred#ffxiv wol#viera#slowly slowly getting through my sketch pile...#i haven't started 3.2 yet because i just have SO much art sketched and i know it'll do crazy things to me#i'm scared of it a little lmao#i don't even really care if these scenarios make sense as much anymore. i just want to draw them#do i fucking remember what thancred was doing in patches?#absolutely not. im making shit up#i'll catch myself getting too caught up in like. would thancred say this phrase with these exact words#i don't know this guy like that. who gives a fuck#if he's slightly out of character then that's just because he's my oc now /j#mishacred

Having a B3 overdose be like
#for the record im okay now#but an hour ago i thought i was dying of an allergic reaction#i felt like a vampire stepping out into the sun and catching fire#my whole face chest upper back elbows arms had red patches like hives#no itching no swelling no dizziness could still breathe and blood pressure was good#but i felt like i dived into a pool of lava#i seriously thought “oh shit this is spontaneous human combustion im gonna end up in a ripleys believe it or not special.”#“guess ill die!”#still monitoring symptoms in case i gotta hit the er tonight but I'm feeling better#ive been taking b3 for a long time and never had a response like this maybe my body is thinking fuck this shit we're done#i checked off everything ive drank and eaten today and listed my meds im confident its this shit#still gonna go to the docs tomorrow for a follow up#but if i can dodge a 10000+ ER charge to the medical debt i already carry imma do that#im too impoverished for the weewoo mobile guys#murica for ya#anyway if you take b3 watch your six on this shit#(i know i gotta take it seriously but seeing the humor and making fun of myself helps me cope)#magenta is my vent word

Sequence of Events:
> Got a new vest for Christmas (YAY!), planning on customizing it. The vest seems to be one of those fast fashion mimics of the punk "aesthetic", so it came w some premade patches (two easily removed, one is in a "ripped open" hole that I'm gonna make my first major target)
> I'm sketching out ideas in my notebook. Ect. No clean ideas yet. Something w teeth, though.
> SISTER EVENT. Been helping her move/set up her new place, so I've been knocked out of my usual drawing routine (which is fine! But...)
> YESTERDAY. AGONIZING. While I had time before helping again. The whole ass day p much. TRIED SO HARD TO ART. THE ART WAS NOT ARTING. IT WAS SO SAD. WASTE OF DAY WASTE OF MEDICATION. ECT
> TODAY. Since I'm out of rhythm/practice, I do something I literally NEVER fucking do. Which is proper artist warm ups.
> Since I'm still split/not sure what I wanna focus on (helping out again, earlier in the day this time), I'm working on that same jacket sketch page
Results?


Mmmeeeaaaawwwewwwweww................. a!
#my art#i literally never draw anything outside of The Character. or anything that's outside of the requirements to get to The Character#OCCASIONALLY i may draw myself but it's extremely few and far between esp nowadays. i'm just obsessed w moe now LMFAO#but these cats. are so fun. so moe coded....... to me.....#ESP the whiskers actually. giving moe scraggly bits of facial hair was literally one of the best additions ever. GAME CHANGING for moe#REALLY REALLY FUNKY AND FUNNY. BIT OF EUPHORIA TOO. like. my name (milo) is pulled from milo and oatis#one of my very first ocs was an orange cat named milo. no relation. direct inspiration. i was in kindergarten.#i feel like. i've come full circle somehow. I'M milo and this is my oc moe. who's extremely cat shaped actually#IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOAT CODED. THEMATICALLY. and i think the facial hair lends itself to that too#but it is undeniable......... the cat presence here.............#any which way i still have no idea what i'm gonna do to kill time. i feel like i can't get too involved.....#may just troubleshoot my new vest. figure out how to make that rectangular patch hole work the way i want it to.#one day.... i'll draw again....... i Want to..........#<- says this as if that's not what i'm constantly doing at all times

The golden dice are mine!
Gods, never again. xDDD
#bg3 playthrough#never again will I submit myself to honor mode#i might play a custom one that is similar in difficulty#but one save only is just too stressful#especially when your efforts let you reach act 3#now I need to put this game down for a bit#(I started Shadowheart origin playthrough just to showcase the dice :P)#on the other hand I truly had fun playing#the ending kinda ran away from me#what was supposed to be the happy ever after with Lae'zel became the ultimate sacrifice ending#i wanted to make Karlach illithid but that option bugged out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#so in the end Gale blew up the brain#Lae'zel left with Orpheus#Madoc would not take risk of living as a mind flayer and took his own life#Karlach died#didn't get to see what happened to any of the other companions#it was a very bittersweet and significantly different ending than my other playthroughs#i have to say I'm satisfied#now let's give this game a rest till patch 8 is good and settled

it's a very slippery slope settlement building in fallout 4, just adding a bit of storage very quickly and suddenly turns into a completely decorated house.
#fallout#all i wanted was to add a box..#and now I'm patching all the holes in the wall and roof#although I may just get a mod to do that for me..#and by 'get' i mean make myself

video called "pirate shirt tutorial that actually makes sense" with a thumbnail clickbaitingly copying bernadette banner's style, which does the exact same thing as bernadette banner's video but more confusingly and without a diagram in the video itself, also failing to understand that bernadette banner's channel is primarily a history channel and not a sewing tutorial channel so telling people they don't have to hand-sew the pirate shirt or they don't have to thread-pull is unnecessary because bernadette banner literally said "do this however you want, i just do it this way because it's how i learn about historical dress practices" in her own video. couldn't ask for better youtube entertainment
#source: i'm an idiot and i've made two of bernadette's pirate shirts and they're fantastic#understanding that her diagram is not a pattern but a guideline on how to make your own pattern#is like. not that hard to get. she gave her measurements and then explained how to get your own#to be fair!! everyone learns differently! there are many comments saying that this other video made sense and helped them#which is absolutely fair and good. more knowledge is never a bad thing#it's just the presentation of this other video that i find so funny#'yes i CAN explain how to make a historically accurate men's shirt better than the actual historical dress historian'#[footage not found]#just the way of explaining the shoulder seams...........so much more confusing than bernadette's diagram#also calling the reinforcement patches on the neck/cuff splits??? useless/pointless??????#sorry i want my garments to not fall apart because i can't afford really nice fabric lmao i will be reinforcing those points. thanks tho#also 'no one is talking about neck gussets i couldn't find any info' HUH ???#i just want to know if they looked anywhere besides youtube because there are absolutely people talking abt neck gussets#i should not be such a bitch about this. it's not that big a deal. again in the end: more people sharing knowledge is Good#but my friend!!! come on now!!!!#aster chat#ah fuck lads i want to make another poet shirt because that's exactly what i need going into what i'm sure will be a blazing summer#another long sleeved shirt with three yards of fabric to smother myself in#that do Not go with any of my work appropriate trousers

but i'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#personal#hahaha i used up all my credit card points on it so in total it only cost me $200 and it's an embroidery/sewing combo#so i'm just gonna treat it like i got a cheapo sewing machine and allow myself to spend the $200+ on software possibly#unless like i can use 2-3 years' ago's brother software#i gotta look into it more.... maybe take a trek into long island to joanne fabric cuz the little old ladies there would know#i wanna learn how to make iron on patches of my art#especially cuz like (obviously it's what i do for a living) i know how to make production ready vector art files#the thing is i know what the 10 years ago machines + softwares worked together#cuz my first job EVER was selling sewing supplies LOL#(which is so odd cuz i work in apparel now like... hahaha thnx mom)#((ironically my great grandparents on my mom's side... both sides had apparel custom stores... one was a millinery and the other costume#jewelry... so i have all sorts of nice vintage stuff from the 20's-40s <3))#BUT now i don't have to go to my mom's whenever i need a machine now!!! whooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been listening to "Athena, The Tireless One" for the past three days whenever I'm doing... well, anything, really. I believe the addiction is terminal but also it's helping me be so productive- LOL. "Why is game OST so good" part one million.
#at this point I'm probably going to make a dance mix ffxiv playlist for myself#menphina's theme- return to oblivion- and now this#the drop on the Hic Svnt Leones callback of the melody is INSANE#hope everyone else is still just as insane about this song at this point in patch cycle#ffxiv#ffxiv endwalker

Alright boys pack it up no more rain world posting new oni dlc is coming out in less than a week
#rat rambles#oni posting#rain posting#I jest I will probably still be posing some rain world stuff if I get around to designing more guys#but I can already feel the oni brain coming back and am half tempted to do one last comb through the files even tho I know itll be#pointless because the full dlc will be at my fingertips very soon#to be clear I 100% will be combing through the data of the full release too but thats a given#calvin my boy pls make it in pls don't get scrapped pls my boy#oh now that we're getting close Im gonna let myself talk abt this just this once but if you care abt potential spoilers stop reading#anyways so last I checked where the duplicant descriptions and stuff is stored there was an additional new duplicant named calvin#now I wasnt able to find anything else referencing him from my admittedly not super deep digging but he was there#I did thoroughly look through the spritesheets tho and hes definitely not there from what I could yell#or at least he wasnt when I checked idk maybe they put him in during one of the patches for some reason#but yeah I hope he makes it in despite all the specific advertising of them adding one new duplicant#its actually these descriptors that have been making me not wanna talk abt calvin dupe too openly as if he does make it in its probably#going to be a pretty big spoiler for a bit?#ofc if he is a secret of sorts then he wont be for long but if he is meant to be a surprise I don't wanna scream on the rooftop abt it#but I do wanna have proof that I found him before hand it he is a surprise I need to feel cool and special for looking at one file <3#yknow what I think I actually am going to pop open oni and tripple check that I'm not missing anything#I was playing rw a lot to cope with the dlc not being fully out but at this point Ive finished every campaign except saints#and saints is being a buggy bastard for me rn and keeps repeatedly softlocking me so Im giving up on it for now#like just this morning I did the entirety of the hunter campaign in like 2 hours I have so little left to do#if I do decide to replay a campaign tho it's probably going to be either gourmands or spearmasters since theyre my favorites to play as#idc what anyone says Ill always preffer the spearmasters story to rivulets I adore them both but ppl do not appreciate spearmaster enough#like every person Ive seen play it sees the ending as disappointing and I wont stand for it its high-key my favorite ending#now thats entirely because Im a moon enjoyer and a tragedy enjoyer but still I will always lose my mind over moon's final message

!!! I made a patch!! From my cross stitch!!
Made it for my partner to put on their stadium bag when we go to the Fall Out Boy concert next month.
Cause I'm really the FOB fan but they love the Emo's Not Dead dude on YouTube so it seemed fitting.
#This is the second concert we've ever been to#And goddamn it's expensive#But I have been saying for years that I'm going to run out of time to do it if I don't do it now#Cause the band will break up#Or someone will die#And then I'll be super sad I never saw them in concert#So we're going!!#And I'm going to make myself a FOB patch#don't worry

So my mom's birthday was this week and I flew down with Patches to visit her for a few days. Patches, while a verified hater of the airport, really loves my mom's place because there are so many more closets to explore and birds to watch and cobwebs to dust with her stupid little face.
My mom also goes to bed earlier than anyone I know, so for the evenings it was on me to monitor Patches' activity. And she's very good. She's 99% good. She's 1% "could use improvement" good and the 1%, which I'd forgotten about, is tomatoes.
Patches will leave most things alone. (And by "alone" I mean she'll absolutely bitch slap them onto the floor, but they will leave the ordeal with just as many or few surface punctures as they had before the encounter started.) Not tomatoes. Patches has it the fuck out for tomatoes.
So when I noticed her batting something around on the ground I realized that my mom had left a sole, roma tomato in the fruit basket on the counter and it was now experiencing the life cycle of a pingpong ball between Patches' paws.
I take it away from her, like a fucking evil woman, and now I'm like "okay actually, where do I hide this." See at home I have an anti-Patches cabinet, which is for things that have no business living in a cabinet but which WILL have business dying at Patches' hands if left accessible. And this is WEIRD to have such a cabinet but it's my own home.
I'm scanning my mother's cabinets going "is this weird here? can the tomato go in my mother's dish cabinet?" And I briefly consider sticking it in the fridge, as a normal location, but the audacity of altering this tomato's ripening process is an audacity I do not possess. So I go with cabinet. I go with the first eye-level cabinet, which is the coffee mug cabinet, which is perfect because the tomato will not be lost to cabinet purgatory there, since my mom opens it every morning for her coffee. I will simply tell her in the morning that the tomato is there.
Next morning. Seeing as my mother goes to bed at the butt-crack of dusk she ALSO gets up at the ass-crack of dawn. This means I trail down like 2 hours after her with my work laptop and Patches. This is also now her birthday. I'm sharing the sofa with her for a good 15 minutes when I think to myself I'd like some coffee, and I remember I put a tomato in the cabinet. I tell my mom as much. I put the tomato in her coffee mug cabinet.
And the look I get is one I can't really figure out on spot. But she says "Chrissy this is the best birthday present you could have given me" which is a very weird response to the already weird statement "Oh you probably saw, but I hid the tomato in the coffee mug cabinet because Patches has it out for tomatoes."
So I do not at all know how this makes for a good birthday gift. My mom tells me how a week or two ago, she came home unloading groceries. At the end of putting everything away she could not for the life of her find her phone. Absolutely nowhere. She pinged it from her iPad and it started singing. From the fridge. She opened her fridge. Her phone was in the fridge.
A couple days later she lost Ash's collar. Spent three days looking for it. Couldn't remember where she'd taken it off or what she did with it. Showed up in the grass when she remembered she took it off to let him play fetch in the lake.
And then this morning, her birthday morning, she came into the kitchen, made her pot of coffee, opened the cabinet to fetch her coffee mug, and found... tomato. Singular. Tomato in the cabinet. Tomato she had no memory of placing in a cabinet. Tomato she could not possibly fathom having a reason for being in the cabinet.
She was like Chrissy I cried. She was like this is it, time to send her to pasture. She's a harebrained old lady now and there is no coming back from this. She's the lady who accidentally puts tomatoes in the cabinet. Awake before God, standing in the kitchen, signing her life away over this tiny roma tomato. (Roma tomato with little cat vampire teeth marks in it).
I was like oh. No. I put it there. Because Patches was going to commit war crimes against it. I put it there because I did not stop to consider "Will finding a single tomato in the coffee mug cabinet somehow be the very specific thing that undoes my mother this morning?" I put it there out of careful consideration for the life of this tomato, and with no consideration for the extremely esoteric way that a tomato in the cabinet could be received like a horse head in the bed, Godfather style.
We made a salad with the tomato. Happy birthday Mom.
