had crippling artblock since december but at least i drew jmart as hollow knight characters
#also since i drew this on my sisters phone i had to send it to myself by email#so it might have been a little crustied (crustyid? crusty but as a past tense verb) then#and then (obvionsly) i uploaded it here so that probably crusty'd it even more#i might make this into an au maybe#anyway jon is a moth because moth!jon#and matrin is a beetle because i thought him and bretta should be the same species and shes a beetle#also i found some beetles that are fuzzy on their bottom and i figured that would work for martin#(alsp dung defender who is probably based off of a dung beetle is fuzzy underneath his shell)#(this is way too many tags)#tma#martin blackwood#jonathan sims#jmart#the magnus archives#(also kinda funny but my human martin and jon designs are actually the same height)

KING OF BULLSHITTING???? ily scott#this issue's a treat in general both for The Drama but also theres a moment where scotts like#'i thought the weather didnt affect storm' like Scott. charles' reaction is my favorite shit too he's literally going to lose his mind 😭#you raised the boy the hell you gettin mad at him for !!!!! ridiculous. i love them. //sobs uncontrollably//#we will be ignoring this adding context to the beginning of 309 ok i like this issue more than that I SWEAARRR EAJVKLJA moving on..#anyway. i think my spring break's started? i think??? i asked The Aforementioned Professor if we have class thursday#cause besides that all my other profs said 'yeah we're not having class that day have a good one'#and as a result i think im misremembering him Also wishing us a good break so im being annoying and asking !!!!#SOOOO if i hear back like Tomorrow that we don't have class then Yay... if not... then i mean thats ok i like the class....#anyway bye im gonna catch up on some work now that i have time !!!

Never getting over Fulcrum being a project manager...
Idk why, but something about that is so funny to me. Not just because the title of "project manager" is inherently kinda funny for a Decepticon, but also because-
1. It's vague sounding and hard to explain irl because it technically exists in multiple fields, like healthcare or manufacturing, which surely translates into canon in some way.
2. In canon, it's simultaneously a really mundane, innocuous sounding job, yet it's also a super morally awful position to reside over depending on the context. (*cough* forced colonization and cyberforming *cough*)
And 3. It solidifies the fact that behind all the surface level militaristic work we get with both the Decepticons and Autobots, there's also Cons and Bots with "normal" jobs in both factions.
Like, sure yeah we get scientists and doctors, engineers and programmers, but usually in big important or warfront positions. (For plot reasons, understandably.) But it's also really funny and interesting to think of those that worked background positions, or minor jobs.
Like an Autobot working in their equivalent of an HR department, or a Decepticon who runs one of their outpost's or starship's kitchens.
Just all the pre-war jobs that didn't just disappear with the war, but instead evolved to exist within the factions.
It's particularly funny with the Decepticons though, because it could be a super mundane job or situation, but because it's them, it has to have an air of ~e v i l~ to it, either legitimately and/or merely for the vibes, like Tarn's "performance reviews".
#theres this one comedy thing. a think its from that like. puppet comedian dude??? cant remember the name rn-#-buts theres a bit about a person in the crowd being a project manager and how silly the job sounds#at some point the person the project manager is with gets pointed out when the comedian asks smth along the lines of-#-''is he a project you're managing? he looks pretty managed to me.'' smth smth. thats fulcrum and the scavs to me#idw fulcrum#fulcrum#mtmte#tf idw#idw tarn#tarn#transformers#maccadam#Decepticons being cartoonishly evil while doing mundane shit will never not be funny to me#'i need to send an evil email to my evil boss about an evil supply chain issue involving my evil workers evil rations and evil mail'#<- fulcrum#sorry. yes he is a tragic yet simultaneously silly guy. but i will never not shut up about his stupid awful job#''he's a project manager!'' oh yay :D! ''he's overseeing the destruction and forced cyberformation of a whole planet'' ...what#not saying he deserved being turned into a bomb. but i think a solid uhh maybe 1000+ organics get a free chance to spit on him or smth#get his ass lmao. i swear hes one of my favs. its just he is objectively an asshole. and i must speak on it bcs i love him#sort of unrelated. but along the same vein of jobs and positions in the Decepticons. ive been trying to puzzle out Krok and Fulcrum's ranks#and. it might not be accurate. idk what sort of ranking system bullshit is going on in canon. so im going off what i know#but. im figuring krok was some sort of warrant-esque officer? aka. he was a general solider. who worked his way up through skill to NCO-#-then specialized in strategy to the point of becoming a warrant officer for strategy and studies. so. higher than NCO but lower than CO#so on the other hand. fulcrum is a CO. bcs he wasnt a solider. he was a technician. but also in advanced management. so. CO???#for irl comparison. NCO/Warrant = worked towards over time from low ranks. CO = fast tracked bcs of formal education or smth#(take the irl comparison with a grain of salt. im not an expert on that shit. i just considered becoming a CO bcs of pressure once)#((CO in this context stands for commissioned officer. not commanding officer btw. so. its like management shit))#(not that i think cons have commissions or anything. just using the terminology as a place holder or smth ig)#who outranks who is debatable bcs canon doesn't specify rank. but if going off this as a basis. fulc would outrank krok by a technicality#but. assumedly. battle experience is seen as more impressive and noteworthy to cons. so its more likely krok outranked fulc bcs of that

On one level the book is about the life of a woman who is hardly more than a token in a great epic poem, on another it’s about how history and context shape how we are seen, and the brief moment there is to act between the inescapable past and the unknowable future. Perhaps to write Lavinia Le Guin had to live long enough to see her own early books read in a different context from the one where they were written, and to think about what that means.
-Jo Walton
#thinking of how her last four novels between 2004 and 2008 show a progressive blossoming of interest in classical literary traditions#following nearly half a century's worth of a career where she seems to actively avoid the influence of classical or medieval europe#idk. but i think this explains annals of the western shore as much as lavinia.#she gets so interested in what it means to share the same stories across space and time (and class and gender and nationality)#to be united in a community by having the same poetry#and in such an obvious way thinking about classics as a discipline is an incredible way to work through that#and i do think its an interest that must come out of having witnessed her own work unite people in community across time#if you're talking about the way stories and poems bring people together across time...#i read the texts passed on to me by renaissance humanists and 19th century philologists and byzantine monks and late antique scribes...#and they're the same across time and space but they're also not#and to have seen her own work reach people across space and time and be the same but also not... that must have been incredible#so: did living long enough to see her own early books read in a different context and to think about what that means#drive her to think about classical literature as she clearly was for the better part of a decade?#mine#reception#anyway i gotta think about this and email [redacted] tomorrow

ur probably sick of seeing posts like these but i just want to sit here and muse about how, well, i enjoy tumblr #mytumblr not just because of all the obvious stuff like how it’s not run on an algorithm, and because it’s one of the only social media that i don’t have to jump through hoops to use and that isn’t phone-exclusive (for me)
but i think my favorite thing has to be the askblogs, and running one. which is weird, because if you asked me as little as 3 years ago what i loved most about tumblr, i’d probably say “uh, looking at owl house posts, i guess?”, it’s weird because i never actually planned to make one and created it on a whim based on a few random people’s tags, and even then it was made mostly as a joke. i just never thought about it before—i grew up with askblogs, an era of tumblr that was truly as magical as it was catastrophic (as all things that get vaguely popular), but i never thought about making one because: it’s a commitment, it seems like a lot, i’m inconsistent, how would i draw for it every single time, etc etc all that good stuff
but then i just made it. and fuck me is it the most fun thing ever. it doesn’t have to be consistent. it doesn’t have to be perfect, or polished, or anything really. it just has to be. to exist out there in the world and be open to messages. the most it has to be is loved by me and by u guys.
and that’s the thing! the best thing—i love involving u guys in my writing, pushing the characters in one direction and then the next, seeing where that takes us (because i don’t always know either, that’s what writing is all about babeyyy). i love that i don’t have to just post the most important plot beats one after the other and have the story be done there. i love that i get to weave the development through vaguely connected, sometimes relevant but sometimes completely random joke asks. that i don’t have to write a whole ass novel of build-up or draw everything as one long-running comic just to make my characters feel like they actually exist and react to the things around them, that they’re not just here to get from point a to b. and i love that you’re all part of it. the story seriously just wouldn’t be the way it is without all of you guys who are always so curious to ask something, or call a character out (depending on how much they need to be humbled COUGHHHHCOUGHHHHH)
so yeah, i’m just forever grateful for all of you and for the fact that tumblr allows things like these to happen. i have no idea what other site could possibly offer the same sort of experience, or anything similar, but i am just forever in love with the fact that it’s something you can do here. i wouldn’t trade it for anything. what a cool fucking thing to be able to do
#i suppose if tumblr ever truly kicks the bucket you guys are free to send me emails with questions to my ocs#we can still clutch.#crammerposting#i just love the format? medium? so much it feels perfect to me#i dont know what i’d do otherwise#a long as fuck one-big-narrative comic sounds exhausting and so does like…a fic series#theoretically you Can make them work in the way you want to but…idk….i really enjoy these lil distractions#of the characters getting to talk to you guys and not just thinking about their problems 24/7#and u guys finding misc stuff out about them and just having fun with them#it really gives room to breathe! it’s probably not impossible in comic/writing form but i think it’s the most feasible in askblog form#and obv running an askblog is also demanding and tiring. i am just one person with two hands fucked up health and limited time/energy#who is somewhat winging the story direction but that just adds to the fun#there have been months where i was so burnt out on my ocs i didnt even want to be reminded of their existsence#(that’s just a normal part of roleplaying as your characters and thinking about them for months on end#sometimes i wanna do other stuff toooo)#and things have been slow because of all of those factors#a year ago i thought we’d be way further in the story by now#but that’s ok :) that’s the thing i love about doing this. it’s completely freeform. there’s no schedule. no limit. no consistency#just me and yall and my characters who suck. and we all get to make fun of them for sucking#but yes even though things are slow and i’m sort of struggling to make a comeback. i still love all of it so much#i love that you guys are always there for it. that you wait so long and always offer the same amount of enthusiasm. you are all really#patient and lovely#i guess that’s another thing about tumblr. the communities you cultivate here are dare i say awesome👍

Update; I got back into working on charms today!
I had a busy last week or two and hadn’t really had a chance or the energy to start drawing this once since i finished Ayda, for reasons that frankly are a bit boring to go into detail about here, but I’m excited to get back into the swing of things now!
I’m really quite happy with his wings so far, i think i figured out a good method for drawing them >:3
#My art#my charms#my wips#wip#Grian#grian fanart#grian hermitcraft#not tagging more than that I’m too lazy and it’s a wip anyways#But my point!! Is that the hermitcraft and life series grian designs are in the works and i hope to finish them in the next few days; if-#-not then some time next week#Then that’ll be the first 10 complete! I was planning to order the first batch of stock then#I still probably will but I also haven’t entirely figured out what to do in regards to international shipping; haven’t had a chance to go-#-to the post office and ask and the USPS website is IMPOSSIBLE to fucking navigate or find answers on and there’s no fucking email where-#-you can ask questions it drives me NUTS#But anyways. After the grians are done it’s a BIG MILESTONE!!! And I’m excited!!#Afterwords I’m gonna do Mary Ann Scuttle and then Pearl (and the other Joels); I’m gonna keep following ‘most requested’ for MCYTs but-#-after Mary Ann I’m gonna finish out the Bad Kids set before moving on to other NPCs#Just because i want to put them under the same listing so i can sell the whole set discounted :]#EVENTUALLY the lifers and hermits will probably end up in two big groups like that too so i can offer other discount sets for them#I’d love to have Imp and Skizz as a set discounted; I’ll prolly do some others too#But yeah :} I’m excited!! The ball is rolling again!!

My department had a meeting with IT today about the new contractor website that will be launching soon and IT was like "We know the words are different, but they'll understand, surely" And I had to say "Yeah, some of them will understand, but I had a contractor call me by his own name today and another sent in a receipt for bananas* so I would not bet on all of them understanding". If we have large quantities of people using an interface we have to make the interface as clear and unambiguous as possible. If it's only a few people, we can teach them, but it's a lot and some of these people are uncomfortable with even using emails, we have to be as user-friendly as possible *we do accept some receipts for reimbursement for job-related expenses, especially for safety-related expenses, but this was neither
#the person behind the yarn#tj talks about work#the contractor who called me by his own name emailed me:#'hi [his own name]. Do you have a phone number? I forgot my receipts'#and then I called him later not knowing it was the same guy#and he was like I emailed you to explain and asked you to call me!#and I was like no???? no part of that email explained ANYTHING#I wasn't confident he was even trying to email me specifically#I did reply to the email but he evidently did not read my reply#the IT guy seems to have trouble wrapping his head around the idea that people can be not-tech-savvy

if you have a good vibe/kind thought to spare and could send it my way. i'd really appreciate it.
#saying goodbye to my friend murphy tomorrow#i'll be okay. it's the right decision and i'll get through.#life is just going to be really hard and sad for a while#i don't want to talk about it in any detail but i feel like i have to say it out loud#and i have this paranoid anxiety thought that's like if I don't tell people he's gone they will ask about him#snd I won't be able to handle that for a little while#I don't need acknowledgment or sympathy. I don't need to talk to anyone. I don't need cheer-up fodder#so no need to send me anything or talk to me about it really i promise#just if you can take a second to love and appreciate the animals in your life. that would be really nice.#you don't have to tell me about it it would just be nice to feel there's love out there#writing this all out is making me feel so stupid. i've deleted and rewritten several times#but i gotta because it would be a lot worse if i was worrying about not talking about it#so yeah. no need for likes or comments or dms or asks or anything. just give someone some love for me ok?#murphy is the senior yellow lab you may have seen me post pics of sometimes. he's my parents' dog but he's my buddy.#and he's gotten me through a lot. like a lot a lot#and i'm going to miss the hell out of him#and i'm so worried about my parents. they're going to have a much worse time than me.#and they don't need anything else on their plates right now#it's just everything you know?#and all at the same time too. 2024 has been just one gut punch after the other#so yeah. if you could give your pet a hug or a treat or a scratch or take them on their favorite walk. that would be awesome#this was good actually typing all this nonsense out helped a little. still don't want to talk about it but at least i have ideas for#the 'leave me the fuck alone' email i'm going to send everyone tomorrow at work

So I have been having A Time the past couple of weeks with my statistical tests for my thesis project, and had to call yet another meeting with my advisor this Friday after running into another problem (after both staring at it for a bit, she has told me to contact the author of the program that I'm using).
...somehow I don't think that it's a good sign that she suggested that I take a week's vacation once I get past this latest bump in order to get some space from it to make sure I don't have any other concerns.
#grad school#first I found out that I was doing the wrong test#which turned into a frantic attempt to figure out the R code#then the R code only worked for one population but not the others#my brother helped fix the code#thought that I checked it to make sure the numbers were coming out the same#turns out I fucked up but didn't catch on until I had done the several hundred other files#anyway email will be going out on Monday#hopefully that gets resolved soon

you know, i always find it really funny when dudebros complain about syndicate and odyssey being too "jokey" or not "taking its characters seriously" or whatever…
like, did y'all collectively sleep through "it's-a me, mario!", "i meant besides vaginas", ezio inventing the latte, bartolomeo's... just... *gestures vaguely* entire character, etc?
like, it's fine to have preferences of course, i myself prefer a more serious and grounded tone, but these are usually the same people who tout the ezio trilogy as "peak assassin's creed", call ac1 a glorified tech demo and hate on connor for being "too serious and boring", like? make it make sense!
#asscreed#ac syndicate#ac odyssey#dont get me wrong#i do have problems with syndicate and even more so with odyssey#but it's not the tone lol#honestly i think kassandra is the protagonist that's the most similar to ezio if you really think about it#but bc she's a woman she's suddenly 'overpowered' and 'unrealistic'#yall don't remember the insane things that ezio survives in revelations do you#speaking of which#been replaying the ezio games lately#and i have something to confess...... i really don't think ac2 is good#ac brotherhood was a BIG improvement#in terms of story pacing for one (none of those insane unmotivated time jumps... well aside from the strange montage at the end)#and the characters are a lot more fleshed out (probably bc there aren't like 20 of them)#and the handling of female characters is MUCH less egregious#maybe bc there's only really claudia and caterina left LOL#lucrezia is a little annoying i guess... but she gets a pass bc she's cesare's sister and really they're the same kind of crazy lol#and hey we actually get to see how dangerous sex work can be and how it's not just a way for sexy nuns to give inner peace to men#even cristina gets fleshed out!#and i like that we get so see ezio being a little bit of a selfish prick in her missions#and making bad decisions in interpersonal relationships#at least i THINK that's what we're supposed to take away from it... but who knows maybe it's just supposed to be a tragic love story...#i hope not.... i hope the player IS supposed to think that ezio's treatment of her is bad. otherwise.... :/#sorry for rambling#guess im just kinda surprised by how much i enjoyed brotherhood#it had been a long time since i last played it#also the modern day is really good!#that you can talk so much to everyone and also being able to read their emails and the mundane banter... idk i just think its neat :)
