October 6, 2024

I’m still adjusting to this grad school and unemployment life. It’s been a month and a half now I should have adjusted by now. You’d think that right? Still haven’t adjusted. Feeling very lost and confused right now but I’m learning and growing and hopefully things start to lighten up soon.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

#also theres no one good place to learn this generally ive picked up yhe knowledge by asking questions #or reading through catalogues. paying attention to the words used to describe clothing styles i like

i firmly hold that it's my duty as a reader to believe it when an author tells me at the beginning of the series that the dragons are gone forever and never coming back. but god it's a struggle sometimes.

#that is: i don't think it's fair to hold that kind of genre knowledge against a specific instance of it #not even because while i've read hundreds of bad fantasy novels someone else might not have read any #but because hm. 'the dragons are gone' is the foundation of a kind of feeling - discovery; renewal; awakening -#there's not a way to get the feeling later on without laying the foundation #so even if the foundation feels like busywork for me the reader #it has to be there in some form or other

Stargazing, at the edge of the unknown.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen qing #wen ning #animation #This was another fun experiment that I learned a lot from B*)#I think that stargazing was something WWX probably took for granted in his first life.#Namely that - despite seeming like the carefree type - he probably didn't have the patience for it.#Why look at the sky when there are so many other things to do at night? It's not like the stars are going anywhere after all.#And when he's in yiling...well he has far to much to do inside his cave or on night hunts to look up at the boring dots.#He's a moon guy - but only so far as 'is the moon phase bright enough to read under tonight? is is dark enough to sneak around?'#It's probably only after the end of untangling the web of secrets and murders in his second life -#-that he realizes the beauty in just...taking a moment and taking in the sky with someone by your side.#Luckily for him the high altitude and cold air of a certain cloud recess makes for excellent start gazing conditions.#Wen Qing would be in the know on what the constellations are. Almost entirely because Wen Ning kept asking her.#As an older sibling you can A) Lie or B) Delve deep into research to claim your throne of 'the knower'.#I have knowledge about many things because I craved being 'the knower' as a youth. Now I don't know anything ever.

TWO strawpages requests cause I thought it was funny they were next to each other, someone just really wanted them to cuddle

#tf2 #red oktoberfest #heavymedic #heavy weapons guy #tf2 heavy #tf2 medic #medic tf2 #heavy tf2 #I was looking for cuddling poses and the first one appeared and I knew what I had to do #also I think Heavy would love to read with Medic because he always has his own insight that probably clashes with his more academic #knowledge but would absolutely feed into his own #more personal views #does that makes sense #idk #does that pose even count as cuddling #idk either

sometimes, you wake up and your first thought is "I cannot be a person today." often---most of the time---you have to then get out of bed and proceed with being a person, regardless of your feelings on the matter.

but sometimes, occasionally, once in a while....it's nice to email your boss, get back in bed, and go the fuck back to sleep.

#in my defense I do feel like warmed-over mud. but it's the kind of feeling I could push through if I really needed to.#I just decided that there wasn't much of a point.#not on a random friday. I will try again tomorrow.#(sidenote: once you start paying attention to your brain it's amazing how patterns emerge.#for example - guess how many books I've read in the last 48 hours. now guess when I did this last???)#(.....that said some of them were quite good.)#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

I don’t think we’ve ever seen you draw knight of dawn before 🤔 what are your thoughts about him? Or take?

I've drawn him a couple of times, just really little/in the background. but I should draw him more, I love this guy a lot! I have many, many thoughts about him and the way he parallels Silver...and also I think it is extremely funny that his ghost is stuck in a ring. especially considering where that ring has been for the last 16-ish years.

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #don't mind me just killing time waiting for maintenance to end so i can stick my face directly into 7-12 #i mean i'm on the record (read: constantly posting) about how much i love the whole tragique backstory behind mal's birth #and. look. hold on it's a day ending in y time to be embarrassing about anime characters online again #no but really i love him. i love how he's such a vague figure but also the way his and silver's stories contrast #i cannot articulate it very well but just #i love how he's essentially like...bad end silver #he let himself go along with the big evil plan because he wanted to save his dad and not betray his king and all that #and when he finally did take a stand it was too late to stop the worst of it #meanwhile silver was immediately like NOPE WE'RE NOT DOING THIS #silver is NOT going to end up slaying the dragon thank you very much #me kicking my stupid little legs in glee over it all #and! the retrospect when you realize! that he was the one leading silver around lilia's memories!!!!#he is so happy that silver and lilia have each other!#he's so happy for them!#i want to put him in a can and hold him in my pocket for 16 years #also: his ridiculous hair. it's so silly and so good.#may vil never meet him #the knowledge that there's someone with naturally gorgeous hair who has somehow done it even dirtier than silver would destroy him

"girlfriend" (more ab rielle here)

#twisted wonderland #thought ab it for a very long time. rielle would be cv tetsuya kakihira 100% (my deluded fancast) isnt it so fitting????#anyways he's very interested in human customs and the idea of “dating” but has 0 knowledge outside of the romance novels he reads

coping with the fact that i can't read the latest volumes because the translation isn't caught up yet by violently drawing them for 3 days straight

#satogiri shuumei #hanae yuuma #tanigami shizuku #satogiri soumei #crossplay love : otaku x punk #crossplay love #nekuyan #Josou Shite Mendokusai Koto ni Natteru Nekura to Yankee no Ryou Kataomoi #kiyoart #don't look at me I'm obssessed with them😔#I've been reading their story since the first volumes and so much has happened since then #i read up to chapter 100.5 but someone translated 110 and #I'm missing so much context before it in 10 full chapters but i have an idea of what happened and it's making me go insane over them #my personal headcanon and honestly biggest hope is that when they come out to each other they help with each other's makeup #don't look too much into what i drew i have zero makeup knowledge im afraid #sigh..... doing all this instead of working

we don’t talk enough about dipper reading about billford karaoking, F&ford sharing a bed, and the whole weird ass love triangle ford found himself in pre-betrayal

#dipper probably: ‘omg new author content!! the pages were ripped out so it’s probably forbidden knowledge- this is gonna be so awesome!!’#dipper after reading them: ‘…ok when ford said bill had been inside him i had another thing in mind…’#gravity falls #billford #fiddauthor #billfiddlesford #ford pines #bill cipher #dipper pines
