Modern technology in one story.

Today I bought myself a new WiFi adapter for my PC. My old one is like 18 years old, could legally drink and also was crooked from birth. Which made it impossible to screw it securely to the case.

So I'm reading a small booklet how to connect it properly (always do it, even if you think you know it). Taking out the old one. Connecting the new one. Turning on my PC. It has no idea what even "network" is.

Okay. Back to reading the booklet. It has small coquettish text "now look to the other side ;)". On the other side is the internet link to the driver download page. Which is cool. I can obviously download it. WITHOUT THE INTERNET YOU KNOW.

Turning off the PC. Connecting the old adapter. Turning on. Putting the link in the browser. 404 page not found.

Okay. I can use google. Found the site. Found the drivers page.

Clicked the link. It leads to Intel site (mistake). It redirects me to a "we are not working with russians, go fuck yourself". I JUST WANT TO DOWNLOAD FUCKING DRIVERS (please read it in the same cadence as 'i just want lunch!' from subway rant).

Okay, turning on the VPN. Downloading the drivers. Installing them. Turning off the PC. Swapping the adapters. Turning on the PC. It finally works.

Trying to screw the board to the case. The screw is bigger than the hole. I can't screw it down. Just like the old one

Curtain closes.

#look if you buying A Thing #it should work from the box #you know plug and play policy #or include an installation disk #but modern computers don't have disk drives so fuck us all #i dont give a fuck add a flash drive to the box #i should not seek the drivers myself #and download it from the site of A DIFFERENT COMPANY

yesterday i got jumpscared at work by sudden bunny rescue operation, if anyone has bunny tips beyond the reddit intro threads thatd be deeply appreciated?

we're planning to bring the little guy to a rescue i trust if we end up being unable to provide for him, since finances are tight rnow. but we're gonna be holding onto him for a while either way since the rescue is far away and i want him to be comfortable in the meantime.

or yknow. if we foster fail id like to know some tips directly from people and not just via researching guides and forums, ik some things you only learn from experience

old picture of bnnuy in question ^^^

#petblr #rabbits #rabbitblr #also i do have a room that my cats cant get into while were at work so bun does have a secure place to live #hes most likely neutered but we dont know for sure since he was actually rescued from a different person before #but hes apparently very calm and only thumps when hes mad about someone being up too late and disturbing his bedtime #so i imagine he is #i had three guinea pigs when i was younger and i did a lot of research on proper care for them #but i never did look into rabbits much #so i know i need to pick up timothy and get some fresh veggies for him every day and pick up some oxbow pellets #but like. do i need to put up curtains in my sunroom for temp and light control? its air conditioned but is that enough?#should i wipe the tile with vinegar and water to get rid of any cleaner?#i have cloth puppy pads but i know rabbits chew on anything #so what do i cover them with to protect bunny? where do i get bunny safe pads? tractor supply?#WHAT DO I USE FOR HIS LITTER BOX #hhhhhhhh.#MY FUCKING BOSS ASKED ME IF I WANTED A TURTLE LIKE TWO WEEKS INTO MY EMPLOYMENT TOO #MY AUTISTIC ANIMAL LOVING SWAG IS BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE

will say an idea im invested in on that note is the idea that ppl in the circus had super mundane jobs irl. like even in c&a they just had normal people jobs. i think making the people who end up there be super painfully normal and just. people. really sells the tragic elements of the show

Taiya Hando in Bakuage Sentai BoonBoomger 01x48 Your Handle

+ bonus

#boonboomger spoilers #bakuage sentai boonboomger #gifs.taiya #boonboomger #super sentai #taiya hando #bun red #userdramas #umbrella.gifs #tokuedit #please do not repost #umbrella.edits #umbrella.posts #i like taiya a lot he's one of my favorite reds and one of my favorite guys from boonboomger #a lot of things about him are conveyed subtly and i like that a lot i like how he keeps things to himself but if you pay close attention yo #can put pieces of him together i like that he is passionate and clearly cares but has a flawed sense of what he should be as an adult #he's always wanted to grow up but in doing that he boxed himself in and became more isolated than he was even though he reaches out to #people doing your job and being kind to everyone is not the same as establishing strong bonds and personal relationships #it's really interesting to watch taiya be so willing to help others but not ask for help himself it's as if he has grown to believe he need #to be a specific type of adult but he doesn't expect the same of others and it's interesting to see the others reach out to him and #show him that he isn't the only one who has to put in the effort and he's not the only one who wants to help but they need to #communicate so they can work best together and get more done in a new way i just think taiya has a really interesting arc #from someone who's playing his role and trying to fit into it perfectly to someone who's still trying to be flexible but needs time #i like taiya needing time i like that he doesn't change overnight and that he'll probably always be a little hesitant when it comes to #certain subjects but he's trying i like that he's trying and generally i just relate to taiya so much #he deserves love he deserves support he deserves to be able to reach his dreams and i cannot be happier to have seen him grow #i just really love taiya :)

Hello! I love your work esp your comics and am wondering if you have any tips on drawing architecture and backgrounds? 😇

the only tip I have for drawing backgrounds is get comfortable drawing boxes. you can figure out how to draw just about anything if you can draw a box. what's a street and all the props on a street but a bunch of boxes on a perspective grid, etc.

additionally

-Framed Ink/Framed Perspective for learning about compositions

-the Etherington Brothers' tutorials is a great place to start if you're just getting into the backgrounds/environments game

-Thomas Romain's tutorials/art advice

there's also a bunch of great tutorials on youtube on the subject of background drawing depending on what you want to accomplish!

#my thing about architecture is that sometimes you just gotta sit down roll up your sleeves and do it #translators note: do it = observational drawing and then make creative decisions from there #<< this is largely my approach for learning a lot of things. master studies of the titans of background illustrations too #many a terrible attempt to study AKIRA's backgrounds exist in my older sketchbooks before i realized i should break things down into #boxes haha #ask tag #even now i tend to take the shirow miwa approach to backgrounds lmao (minimalist backgrounds) because i kind of #find doing prop work tedious

I am a vet student, and I had a patient today who looked like Machete! Made me think of your boys. Also, I get a kick out of the small animal veterinary surgery textbook, because there's a Vasco-like dog on the cover.

.

#it's still immeasurably funny to me that #people are out there looking at various things irl and thinking ah yes it's the dog from tumblr #it's just very sweet #irl vaschete sightings #answered #districtfourmermaid #also this may be a weird thing to say but my irl circles aren't particularly varied #all my friends and family work on educational and creative fields #so whenever an online friend/mutual/follower mentions their job and it's something other than art and education #I find that genuinely very cool for some reason #I think 'oh neat somewhere out there is a (insert literally any line of work) who likes my silly dogs' and feel oddly warm and fuzzy #maybe it's just a sign I should try to socialize out of the box more

#i dont think im a bad person. i dont think i behave in ways that are especially terrible. i dont hate myself. but i do believe i deserve to #suffer. and im not sure how to align those incongruent ideas. its hard to articulate because a lot of my rigidity stems from restrictions #without cause. i don't do things for a specific reason. im not afraid that if dont do specific things it will cause bad things to happen. i #behave in specific ways because thats what i have to do. thats just the way it is. without reason. without cause. like im getting dictates #from some higher power. a lot of my restrictive behaviors manifest in a sort of religious way. not in a religious trauma way. the church i #grew up in was all love thy neighbor and not fire and brimstone. its more that this rigid views is deeply and profoundly rooted in how i #belive i need to behave. i behave imperfectly. i make mistakes. and there has to be a consequence. i have to suffer. and thats just how it #is. like preying for forgiveness or committing self flagellation. i repent through self punishment. and when i try to imagine why i do this #all i can think about is being a little kid. praying before i went to bed. not aloud. the prayers i kept silent. that nobody would get sick #and die. that all the kids in childrens hospitals would get better and that nothing bad would ever happen to anyone. i had a pretty idealic #childhood. it was stable and my parents loved me a lot. i was never really bullied in school. my family was comfortably middle class without #money troubles. and i guess i find that difficult to contend with because i didnt do anything to deserve that. it was just luck. and why #should i have that when other ppl dont? but random things dont happen to you because you did something to warrent them. thats not how the #world works. so maybe im seeking to balance the scale. maybe im trying to pay for my good luck because it makes more sense that way.#sins must be punished and good fortune must be paid for. but only for me. i am an isolated entity controlled by an angry god.#and again. i dont hate myself or thing im a bad person. it only seems fair and correct that i should suffer. thats just how it is.#and how do you classify that? its a rigid worldview that sprauls out into restructions and compulsions. a lens warped from through #existential fear? the rot from which 0cd manifested? a set of restrictions born of aut1sm? i dunno. it doesnt really matter but i try to #classify anyway. maybe it doesnt fit neatly into one box. so it goes.#just stupid bullshit im being forced to deal with now that im basically in triple therapy lol #unrelated

will they ever make a How Its Made episode on fursuits

#the grips of creativeprojects have their hold on me and im seriously debating whether i can pull it off #i wanna... i wanna make a cardboard magikarp costume for halloween..... i think i remember someone did smth similar #they made a ghastly costume and wore fishnets. sexy ghastly.. maybe its bc im fond of yuru kyara costume designs #i think i have the right equipment but ive never done smth like making a mask other than using a cardboard box.. so the sculpting #feels a little daunting #in the throes of fursona design hell rn so i should probably do that first. its probably a tiny dog with a 'true form' which is a really #big dog. like kerberos from ccs yk?? i always imagine myself as this tiny little thing but i always liked the idea of something bigger #hiding inside like a cicada skin. like some sort of angel in disguise.... except its this big terrifying creature (affectionate)#im also designing my brothers quackuza stickers rn though im so behind ive been working on this thing for months #yapping

Idk, the first ten minutes of my shrink appointment yesterday were about how I've had no motivation to do anything and have been in a bad slump these last few weeks that I've not really been able to get out of because my health tanked hard. And then the next 40 minutes were about Karl Heisenberg from Resident Evil 8.

And her trying to figure out why I like Karl Heisenberg or if there was any deeper meaning to my recent fixation on karl to which I could only respond "I like that Hes old, looks gross, and also like he smells bad." bc I could not explain it any better than that.

#like most of that time was spent talking about resident evil lore and how much i hate EW as a character. I dont like him #Mia should have been the protagonist of 8.#'Im on the verge of mc fucking loosing it and the only joy these last few weeks has come from re8 fanfiction'#'Why the fuck is that?' 'No clue. Im just fascinated with one specific gross man' 'Here is a picture of Sturm. I hate its boss fight but #love the concept of Sturm more than god'#anyways people who have opinions on me as a person based on my work #Feel free to Psychoanalyse me to your hearts content in my ask box #it will not offend me and i think i need to hear it to get a good grade in therapy #i will be showing what you say to my shrink like its a fucking report card

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.

#it wouldn’t have to change any of the actual plot of the season. except MAYBE amy’s choice but even then i think amy’s choice would be the #one episode where they should be adults. if only for the half where they live in a village in that dream.#because that’s the kind of future that children would dream up. they live in a little cottage and nothing ever goes wrong and their best #friend visits them all the time even though they’ve grown up.#they aren’t actually adults there just children with an idea of what they should be as adults and acting accordingly #and it would still end the same way.#but idk its just. rory’s 2000 years waiting for amy inside the pandorica is already tragic. yes.#now imagine its a kid. a kid in a little roman soldier helmet who will never grow up. who will not leave his best friend.#he loves her and she’s more important than the whole universe and that sort of love is supposed to MEAN something in a fairy tale!#its supposed to melt the ice out of hearts and transform people from stone.#and what that love means here. is that he will have to wait 2000 years. a child and a box.#little rory and the amelia who followed the doctor’s letters to the pandorica. and she doesn’t recognize him again.#and amelia in the pandorica… 2000 years a child trapped in a small box waiting to be rescued.#s5 is already fucked for them but it could be worse. it could be so much worse.#and it would make the doctor choosing to take her place in the pandorica to save the universe later even better.#because who else but the doctor would put the fate of the universe on the shoulders of two children and realize much too late what a #monstrous thing he’d done. and still have to hope. have to hope. that amelia would remember him fondly enough to bring him back to reality.#the logistics of all of this would have been a pain lmao. child labor laws in acting and all that.#BUT. hypothetically. it would have slapped.#doctor who #amy pond #rory williams #<- also this entire time ive been referring to him in my head as rory pond so much that i fuckin. forgot his actual last name.#and then like if you want them to be adults in s6 or whatever you can just timeskip to them getting married and still have amelia remember #the doctor there. it would work. it would.#amelia pond au

“why would elaena marry a dornishman when they’re nasty evil people who murdered her poor innocent brother daeron”

maybe because once elaena grew up she realized that there were better ways of bringing dorne into the realm than violent conquest, and that daeron got the death he deserved from not just a nobility that is valid for fearing subjugation from valyria but also a smallfolk sick and tired of these people showing up every few decades to set their principality on fire, and put aside any anti dornish sentiments she may or may not have harbored as a child to see the way her family had directly attributed to their suffering, eventually even falling in love with and marrying a dornish man??

also, considering daeron ii attempts a type of proto-reparations act in bringing dorne into the kingdom, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that someone as intelligent as elaena would recognize the inherent racism in the targaryen conquest of dorne and especially considering the very loud anti-dornish, deeply anti intellectual faction in the blackfyre rebellions, realized they wouldn’t be kind or understanding of an intelligent woman like herself and had no interest in herself or her daughters (of which she had four!!) getting shoved back into the maidenvault again?

like, daeron i is on some andrew jackson manifest destiny shit, and if it makes me an asshole for thinking “god i wish someone had merked jackson before he genocided & displaced my ancestors, good on the dornish for realizing you can’t negotiate with imperialists” than i am perfectly comfortable being considered an asshole right next to my girl elaena.

#everyone discoursing about the young dragon. listen. they should have tortured him before they killed him too.#anti daeron i targaryen #valyrianscrolls #anti house targaryen #idk just in case. clearly i’m not anti everyone i’m complimenting elaena & daeron ii #elaena targaryen #daeron the good #daeron ii targaryen #getting on my soap box #dorne #also when i say ‘my ancestors’ i mean that jackson passed the indian removal act specifically to remove my tribe (and several others) bc #white people in the midwest didn’t like that we wouldn’t leave.#my tribe managed to work somethjng out and only had to move a couple miles away from our homelands. others in our area were forcibly mkced #*moved. look up the potawatomi trail of death. they marched them thru illinois’ capital. dozens including children died.#also read about the fort dearborn massacre. and rising up from indian country which makes the argument that it wasn’t a massacre #but a battle bc white americans had been raiding potawatomi villages for weeks. so the potawatomi struck back and people to this day insist #it was a massacre just bc the potawatomi were better at fighting than the americans. nah.#u don’t get to wage a war of conquest on an innocent and indigenous population just to turn around and say they were mean for fighting back.#i’m sorry i woke up today and decided to choose violence. i’m in an awful mood aksjdjd

bruh I just deleted threads

#people are such horrendous misinterpreters over there #folks love to call tumblr the site where no one has media literacy #lemme tell you how wrong you are compared to threads #I first of all made a post saying for people to stop harassing authors when they don’t like their covers or titles #because they’re decisions made by the publisher #got hit with all the whataboutisms #yes yall obviously if the book is self publishes #the author is the publisher and therefore makes those decisions #then I just made a post about how I wish book boxes would instead of picking books based on projected marketability and popularity #to pick them based on who needs a cover redesign #and got comments from people being like that’s not true because I have NEVER heard of most of their picks and that’s annoying to me #personally #like babe they’re still picked based on publishers telling them their lead titles and projected sales and trends #as well as what they think is good of course and what fits the boxes market #it’s also why harper voyager books get like multiple editions all the time #some of these publishers have specific connections #and then an author retweeted and assumed I don’t know that books are picked in advance #babe I’ve worked with book boxes and am currently working with two #I KNOW #I’m sure illumicrate is done with 2026 picks or wrapping them up already #my post is not ignorant of that fact #it’s suggesting that books shouldn’t have to be in book boxes the month they come out!#in fact I do think book boxes should release special editions after release more often then not #also sorry plenty of book boxes do this right and do pay attention to books that will likely get less love #and therefore are likely to get worse covers #such as fox and wit #such as rainbow crate #such as satisfiction #the authors post didn’t piss me off as much as a comment to it saying I was rightfully corrected but whatever #i’m so over it

yesterday it was very cold so i skipped gym but! today is even colder and it has been raining since the early hours in the morning!! but to the gym must we go ):

#i haven't felt motivated much about working out but i am still doing it because #sulking in bed isn't very good for the mind and i can do it anyway before and after the gym #i guess the frustration comes from the fact outside the strain of working out i miss the good old feeling of good aching you have the day #after i excercised so the impression is that i am not doing enough and it's all pointless ):#anyway i should change my workout routine next week and i hope it will be more interesting!! also i could start doing boxing once a week #which i really want to!! but i think i'll wait some more and build better endurance and flexibility before trying #notes of a countryside dandy #i was watching bruce lee movies so i want to try martial arts classes too (except i want to do judo) but same concept i want to get better #at being normal first and then look forward to being kicked in the ass elegantly (':
