#or a lack thereof

[abby-howard]

Hhhhiii genuinely can't stop thinking abt you and art and also Scarlet Hollow specifically and I have so many things I wanna ask, so sorry for being a bother!!! I'll stick to the two most burning questions right now, which are: do you have any time left to draw leisurely for your own pleasure behond the games and other projects (or maybe leisure drawing is for other projects in and of itself??) AND when you draw sprites for the charactera in SH, do you also draw their legs beyond what is shown on acreen??

Have a wonderful day and may your wrists be free of carpal tunnel!

Aw, thanks for being so invested in our work!!

My leisure time is indeed full of other projects right now 😅

I usually work every day of the week (every time I've tried to institute a "weekend" it lasts for maybe two weeks before I have some new deadline that steals it from me,) so leisure time is between 7pm and sleep, and currently I'm spending that on the fun parts of a work project. So it kind of feels like I'm not working, because I'd use that time to draw, anyway.

I alternate what I spend my off-hours doing based on what I spend my on-hours doing. So if I'm in a writing period, I draw at night, and when I'm drawing all day, I often write to cool off. That sometimes even includes non-work! Like fanfiction, which I find to be a great way to hone my prose skills.

Also for anyone who hears this and feels like they need to be doing more: don't be like me, I'm exhausted 24/7 XD I want to take more breaks but I don't know how anymore. And I gotta finish all these projects before I die!!

I still can’t forgive criminal minds for using a quote about a gay man struggling through internalized and societal homophobia for an episode centered on SEX OFFENDERS. Like seriously wtf

The proportional size makes me think viola, but the high register of the accompanying, not particularly moving sounds in this file point me towards violin.

Until proven otherwise, I am going to assume that the connection was just lost, the bathtub fell and blocked Gwib in his universe, and over in TT's universe, she is choosing to spend the last two minutes before her other self is terribly murdered by falling space rocks... playing the violin competently but not enjoyably. I was being kind of flippant, but maybe everyone's time management skills are just awful, and that's just something that's true about all, or most of the people in this world.

Come to think of it, even Gwib's exalted father is making short weird trips and not going to work, so I may really be on to something here.

You ok? Is it over?

*no one is visible, perhaps they're still submerged, if they're still there at all. it continues draining, but it's painfully slow, nowhere near the speed at which it had flooded in*

Low maintenance? More like no maintenance. Bitch I'm falling apart

Last three days of the year (I think) and I am. Not thriving. I am sick. My haikyuu is dying. My sleep schedule is slowly turning to shit. But!

This means delicious angst when I write the vitya fic so I’m not that mad about it

Heard a country song where this guy's like, "these rich people don't understand working people's lives, they don't know how we're suffering. People are going hungry and they're

giving food stamps to fat people"

seriously

seriously

my friend, you were so close

you were so close to getting it

why are people like this???

[marisatomay]

I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m advocating for casual cruelty or whatever but something that grates so much about this current social moment is how many people are incapable of saying they dislike something or someone without cooking up some higher morally correct reason for their dislike. Sometimes you just disliked a book. Sometimes you don’t “get” an actor or a musician. There’s nothing morally wrong with your girl’s fuckass boyfriend he’s literally just annoying and you’re annoyed that you have to pretend you like him when you know he’ll be history in six months. It’s fine. You don’t need to justify your dislike.

pinkie asks a question

also cursed spike my gf added

[just-a-joey]

what do you think a swap/killer version of chance would be like?

Shark like.

All the scars on him are blue and his new adrenaline rush is killing people (the spectre and death fucked him up.)

Oh yeah ITrapped successful,y killed him in this Au. Sword through the stomach.

Killer Chance still has the gun. It could fire or not fire in the game.

He can also travel in the ground and pop up somewhere randomly, either right near a survivor, on top of them or on the other side of the map. Also slashes with tail ig idk man I just like the design.

Sex positivity is also about not calling Ace people prude and using virgin as an insult 👍 hope that helps

Lena losing her patience and furiously berating Gwen for potentially endangering the staff members of the OAIR is quite literally the opposite of how Elias ran the Archives.

Elias used the Archival staff—as well as his Archivist—as pawns that can be readily replaced as needed. His patron offered them minimal protections at best (the Archivist’s privileges notwithstanding), and even then, he would never actually intervene to save any of them if they were in danger, much less take precautions to protect them at their headquarters. They are used as bait, as sacrifices, as currency, as objects. The listener knows, eventually, how easily he could discard them if his plans called for it.

But Lena. This episode showed us that Lena keeps her entire organization running through keeping her subordinates hidden, safe, and unnoticed by the Externals. It’s quite clear through her conversation with Gwen that such a safety risk has never happened before.

As far as we know, Lena has successfully kept all of her employees alive, watched them come and go, bemoaned the turnover rate, and then got them to look the other way while they documented and dutifully filed the horrors.

But most impressive of all, she’s kept her real work hidden from her subordinates, and her subordinates hidden from her real work—a feat Elias had no interest or desire to accomplish.

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.
