The LAST day of Hermit-A-Day May: ETHO!! I added sparkles because he gets to be the specialist finale guy

You should ALL go check out the Tiltify!! There’s only a little over an hour left to pitch in (as of my posting this) and there’s tons of cool incentives and prizes that you could have a chance to win if you donate! We met our goal for the month the other day and it’d be so awesome to see how much we can surpass it by <3

guess who got STRAIGHT A'S FOR THEIR FINAL SEMESTERRRRRRRRRRRR

4.0 GPA FOR THE SEMESTER, BABYYYYYYYYYYY

this raised my overall GPA to a 3.12. which it's a little sad that i'd been struggling so much prior to this past year (from unmedicated adhd & having to work a fucking job while in school) bc i probably Could have had a really high overall GPA. this past year proved that i *can* be a good college student. but Oh Well. i can be proud of what i've accomplished in this past year at least. and i can be proud of going from academic probation a year ago to getting straight A's in my final semester of college. and managing to raise my GPA up to a 3.12. still an accomplishment!!!

VOX MACHINA IDEAS THAT I PROBABLY WON'T WRITE, LOG 04

(I meant it when I say that 99% of my ideas gravitate around Percy, not that any of you are complaining anyway lmao)

Au where Percy, after being rescued by the fishermen when he escaped, manages to convince them to take him to Wildemount to contact the other branch of de Rolos in the other continent, but after some incidents with pirates/slavers and other tribulations, Percy gets lost and ends up in the Blooming Grove with Caduceus (maybe some god was watching over him for once?), he warmly welcomes Percy, happy to finally have some company after being so lonely for years.

Percy stays with Caduceus for like a year, taking his time to heal both physical and mentally, Caduceus teaches him about nature and how dead doesn’t have to be such a sad thing, while Percy teaches Caduceus about technology and how to do some fixing in the grove. They become very close, like brothers/platonic soulmates. Caduceus maybe even teaches Percy some of his peculiar healing magic? Percy may even start to learn some of the Wildmother lessons?

When Orthax comes to try to make a deal/possess Percy, Caduceus is not taking any shit from a fucking smoke demon stalking his little bro, that demon is not going to undo all his hard work so he exorcizes Orthax so hard that not even a speak of ash is left in the Grove.

Eventually a sign is given to Percy in the form of a dream that it is time to leave the Grove. After some sad days preparing for the trip, Percy and Caduceus say goodbye, promising that they will see each other again one day.

VM finds a slightly different Percy, less brooding, and more eccentric lol, kind of obsess with the beauty of the “dark side” of nature (as a coping mechanism) thanks to Caduceus teachings , like nature that handles the decay part of the life cycle, such as fungi and such, which would prompt even more BFF moments with Keyleth, but also make him hate the Briarwoods even more since vampires and necromancers go againts the natural cycle of life and death.

Percy is a little more trusting and emotional open to the team earlier on. He would still have some anger issues, but he’s seeking justice for his family and people instead of destructive revenge.

(I know, I know, Percy is OOC here, but I see a Percy that got to properly heal from his trauma and not be influenced by a literal demon would behave like he does when they went to the Feywild, a young man with shiny eyes, fascinated with the mysteries of the world again, and totally info dumping about his hyperfixations to his friends, more emotionally in tune with himself and not just repressing his emotions until he explodes in rage... most of the time, and I think it would be interesting to see how VM would interact with a mentally stable but still eccentric Percy)

TL,DR Caduceus gives Percy the therapy he always so desperately needed.

...

(also, to be honest, I started writing this one, but I stopped because I don't know how to write Caduceus, so far I just watched some of the more popular segments of him, but I don't want to start C2 until I finish with VM, so I need to read a few dozens of fics of him until I understand his personality, but I'm leaving the idea here because I would like to read au fics of Percy&Caduceus having adventures and how other authors would imagine how their dynamics could work)

im curious as to about how long each of your pieces takes?? it took me two class periods to be satisfied with the pinch pot we just made in ceramics class (though that’s probably also because im very much a perfectionist) so i can’t imagine how long a whole critter would take

it really depends!! some of them (unpainted, simple shapes) take as little as five minutes; some of them (large, complex shapes with very detailed painting) take as much as 10 hours.

I have gotten way faster over the years, though, so don't think I'm just some natural genius! the skills of sculpting build on each other. Just last year it took me three hours to make a simple fox, and now I can bust out a really nice fox (with toe beans!) in two hours. it just takes time and repetition to get there <3

and hey congrats on being in a ceramics class!! I hope you have fun with it!! If you like critters, I recommend stealing some of the clay and making some kind of toadish blob out of it and firing it in the kiln, as long as your studio masters won't get mad about it. the joy of making a lumpy little guy is unmatched.

examples of sculpture + time counts below the cut!

Little guys like this tiny cicada, which is a design I've done so many times that I can make them on autopilot, are in the 5-15 minutes range to sculpt. bunnies, chickens, wizards, and mini-cats are like that for me too!

but if I add the time it takes to paint them, even simple sculptures can end up taking much more time—for instance, this starry chicken took only five minutes to make but about an hour to paint.

then when you get into the more complex shapes, those can take a lot of time—this anthro coyote took me 3 hours to sculpt because it was a complex shape AND I was unfamiliar with making anthros so I was learning as I went:

and when you add complex designs to complex sculptures, you end up with projects like this peach-tree bear, which took three hours to make and five hours to paint, so that's eight hours in one sculpture:

and eight hours is about my limit for sculptures I'm going to sell. BUT. when I'm making things for myself, I'm willing to spend even MORE time on them to make them perfect for my own tastes. I tend to spend the most time on fanart sculptures—it takes a lot more time to make a sculpture perfectly on-model to a pre-existing character than it does to make up a whole new thing. So the sculpture that has taken me the most time so far in this batch is this JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fanart sculpture, Star Platinum:

three hours to make the body, seven hours to paint him—Star has taken me ten hours total so far!!

Reunited

akutagawa siblings + things you said when i was crying

Gin hadn’t cried in public when news of Ryûnosuke being killed in action had gotten to them, and neither did she at his funeral; he had been more like a ghost as well, holding onto Higuchi’s hand tighter than necessary and only processing half of what was happening at most.

They did cry in public, though, when rushing to the encounter of his very much alive brother after everything had ended.

“You’re fine.” Gin whispered the second both siblings collided into a hug, feeling Rashômon tendrils wrapping around their body at the same time Ryû’s arms did. “I thought I’d--” Well, ‘never see you again’ wasn’t exactly the best way to put it. They had somewhat met in the vampire army, which didn’t amount much since none of them had the autonomy to reach out for the other.

And not like there was any need to clarify either: their brother would understand.

“I did taste death.” Ryûnosuke replied, something which sounded worrying as fuck even while seeing him there alive and breathing. Tangible. “And feared it had happened to you too, before getting turned.”

Gin instantly shook his head.

“It wasn’t funny, but I didn’t get heavily injured before.” In fact, them being bitten had happened rather quickly, otherwise she might have had more time to… react, even if not fully prevent it.

“Good.” When they broke the hug, not moving away too much, Ryûnosuke fetched a tissue from one of his (new) coat’s pockets and offered it to them. And maybe not everyone would be able to see the emotion in her brother’s eyes, but Gin definitely could. How not to, when the two of them had shared their whole lives?

One time like six years ago when I was housesitting for my sister, I was taking a shower and the song He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask) by Alice Cooper came over my playlist. This is a song that was made for one of the Friday the 13th movies and I thought, “Ha ha ha, wouldn’t it be crazy if someone was here.”

And then that night someone broke in.

A couple days ago when Biden dropped out of the election and the Democratic Party seemed less like it just accepted the death of democracy. I had a moment in the depressive episode I’m currently experiencing where I was like, “Okay, maybe things aren’t so bleak.”

And then Yellowstone exploded.
