#so this will be a bit of trial and error

Hey y'all! Do you have any advice about making smoothies? Like, what kinds of fruit and veggies go well together, what combos very much don't work, and especially if you have any advice on what frozen fruits or veggies work best. I am thinking about trying making smoothies but I know pretty much nothing about it lol
#the person behind the yarn#food mention#I don't even know where to start when it comes to making smoothies#except that I should avoid coconut (allergic) cucumber (possibly allergic) and bananas (sometimes allergic)#and that I should probably stick to frozen fruits and veggies as much as I can#because I have histamine issues#and while I tolerate some fruits very well#some fruits I do not#so this will be a bit of trial and error#but dang. I just really want to be eating more fruits and veggies before I end up with Yet Another Vitamin Deficiency#(my body processes several vitamins and minerals Very Wrong so I have to take...a lot of supplements)#(plus I am on medication to fix some of them that messes up other vitamins. it's a process)#and when it comes to ways to eat frozen fruits and veggies smoothies seem to be the best way#or maybe not best but most efficient?#I tried with non-frozen fruits and veggies but the produce in Tennessee goes bad SO QUICKLY#or at least so quickly compared to where I used to live#so...frozen! frozen fruits and veggies

remembering when gorb was new and resale value was through the roof (i believe it still is) and i was like i absolutely will never be able to buy this, time to bootleg a gorb

you wouldn't download a gorb
#this was quite a few years ago so i hope today it would be a bit neater but honestly who knows#i never really got a pattern made for this because it was all trial and error#so i never made any other orbs unfortunately. he's all alone. the boot gorb.#rookposting#last time i was in japan i saw a gorb for something like ¥30000#mamma mia that's an expensive circle

i rebound a book!!
when i made my ‘clothbound classics’ sticker designs, i found myself wanting to try making them in the real world, so i bought a bunch of art supplies and gave it a go. honestly, for a first attempt, i’m really pleased with how it went!!
if anyone seeing this wants to try bookbinding for themselves, i used the youtube tutorials by thatsmybookshelf over on instagram! i found their instructions really helpful and detailed, so even though i was a complete beginner, i got this result!!
#clothbound classics#coralie bickford-smith#the handmaid's tale#margaret atwood#bookbinding#rebinding#fanart#lj arts#irl crafting#there was a bit of trial-and-error#my die-cutter isn’t great with really tiny details‚ so the font's a little larger than on real clothbound classics and my sticker versions

seems I’m doing very little else but making up knitting pattern these days because the things I want don’t exist (or I can’t find patterns close enough to what I want) so now I’ve of course decided to make yet another one
#in my defense I found some lovely silk and cotton blend yarn in my local grocery store#that would be perfect for s light lacy type of cardigan thing for the summer#but I’ve just spent hours looking for a pattern and coming up empty#so. trial and error it is#I have two months to get it done the idea is to wear it to my brother’s wedding#I have an outfit but I have nothing to bring to put on over it for when the evening gets a bit chillier#deep sigh etc etc#anyway I didn’t even buy the yarn yet because I’m broke and waiting to be paid.#knitting

The forces of E.V.I.L. invade a shopping mall!
God, I just love drawing the goofs being silly, it’s like putting them in their natural habitat lmao
Eclipses design is still a wip, hence the full body elf costume, but I’m liking where he’s going so far!
I can’t wait to share more about these guys, I think I’m going to make an ask blog about them once the main fellas’ designs are finished! (So far the only ones left are Eclipse and The Boss, Ehehe)
[ID: A Magma drawing of Solar Flare, Bloodmoon and Eclipse from the Working for E.V.I.L. Au running through a shopping mall with stolen presents and Christmas decor. Bloodmoon is located on the far right, he is a red animatronic wearing a twin tailed jester hat covered in snowflakes, multiple belts, a ripped sleeveless shirt, devil horns and a long split tongue. He tilts his head back with a close-eyed, devilish smile as he squeezes a piping bag of icing straight into his mouth, he holds a present beneath his arms. In the middle is Solar Flare, a boxy orange and yellow robot with triangular shoulder pads and bent sun-like rays. They wear a set of deer antlers on a headband, as well as a small red nose. In their arms is a stack of wrapped presents that tip over. Their expression is blank, but they keep their eyes on the toppling over stack. To the far left is Eclipse, an orange and brown animatronic with small, thin rays placed between his larger ones. He wears a green and red elf costume, a black turtleneck sweater beneath, and a necklace that holds a star pendant. He looks horrified, as sweat drips down his face, he carries a large brown sack over his shoulder. Each character is outlined in white, in the background is a large Christmas tree and a visible second layer of the mall, with large display windows lining it. /End ID]
#the Sun and moon show#TSaMS#sams bloodtwins#tsams bloodmoon#sams bloodmoon#sams eclipse#tsams eclipse#tsams solar flare#sams solar flare#working for e.v.i.l. bloodmoon#working for e.v.i.l. solar flare#working for e.v.i.l. eclipse#working for e.v.i.l. au#my art#the sillies#love my boys#although I’m worried a bit about The Bosses’ design#They have a lot of moving parts so to speak#I’m worried that he’s gonna take more trial and error#or that I wont be able to accurately portray how they work in my head#but bah#we’ll burn that bridge when we get there

Mah boi Flick getting some shade B)
#the great artscapade of 2024#art#my art#Forspoken#Forspoken fan art#Forspoken oc#Forspoken original character#OC: Flick#got an experiment to do on Tuesday when I come back to this#normally when I shade I use a super dark blue and set the layer to multiply#and 69% opacity#but when I did that this time it looked muddy#so I did a hue/saturation/color shift to make the blue shading pretty close to Flick's base color only darker#so we're gonna see if I can color drop from the darkest part of the shading layer#or if I have to pick the blue color I usually paint with and try to recreate the HSV shift from memory#bc it's entirely possible that even the darkest part of the shading layer wasn't maximum opacity for what I use#I'm sure I'll find the right color to use it'll just take a bit of trial and error#on account of how I wasn't paying attention to the exact HSV color shift I was just eyeballin' it#but tomorrow we're back to Blender so who knows I may change my mind by then lol#and decide to redo the shading with a whole different color!#we'll find out together :D

I FORGOT THAT THE NEXT GUILTY GEAR X2 CHARACTER STORY MODE I NEEDED TO WATCH WAS I-NO…
I abandoned my girl I’m a fake fan…
#it wouldn’t have taken me so long to get back to it if I remembered that!!#the way I-no is written makes me so curious about her…#I’m not sure if her being a time traveler is relevant yet but it *feels* like it is#it seems like she knows what to do to domino affect things going the way she wants them to#and because of that I feel like she’s done a bit of trial and error with the people she’s interacted with before now#maybe even to the point that she’s gotten a little jaded and cynical#… if that makes sense?#my bad if I’m wrong-#I’m a fool. I know nothing. I may sound like a silly clown disclaimer as always#this is theory talk

Hmm. Do we think that New Age Nightmare could pull others into his shadows? (For transport, hiding, etc.) Because I think of it more as a sort of 'opening a rift into the dark itself and creating a very fast hallway the leads to the next rift' but it *looks* like Nightmare is melting because the corruption lags behind the force of his soul when he enters.
Of course, then, the next logical step is to think: If he *can* then how does it feel? Are Killer and Horror less bothered because their magical sensitivity is low to begin with? Are Dust and Cross overwhelmed with a barrage of information the second they enter the rift because the invasive magic is just too dense + strong for them to process? Would it kill a person if Night dragged them inside then left without them? (<- Would he run into their corpse later by accident in the rift or would the magic dump it elsewhere? Or consume it?)
Just a fun thought that's irrelevant when the magic fades. But there is 7 years worth of pre-fade where he's learning this!
#new age au#just thinking outloud lmao-#i like the idea that the others could have the magic +power of night shared with them in ways Night feels are almost mundane#like how he's unaffected by the rifts so he takes Killer through (he's just a bit dizzy)#but finds that taking both Killer and Dust results in Dust landing on the ground when they get through and coughing up#a lil marrow because On God that magic was trying to suffocate him. and Night being very overprotective and guilty of doing that#to Dust by mistake.#and Night forbidding Cross + Horror from trying it until they both volenteer so Night has a grasp on who reacts to what#and it's Cross who's obliterated this time. not as badly as Dust but it's pretty obvious...#just... these guys :] helping Night learn through trial and error cuz they're sturdy and also getting to see Nightmare in all#his glory + godlike power#Error never got a ride thru the rift. and Ccino wasn't very affected just like Killer so of course he was surprised w/ Dust's reaction.#spot q#<- dropping this in the schedule so I don't firget to post it

A hero is only as good as his weapons, so make ‘em count (Patreon)
#Doodles#Original#Another idea smol and I are working on together :D Been a bit!#She came up with the concept on this one and I fell in love with it <3 She's very cool hehe#If you're familiar with the game Minit it has Something of a similar premise - not the same strict time pressure but yes on the time loop#Y'ever notice how in some games it seems like the wandering trader or traveling shop seems to come upon you rather than the other way around#:3c Hm ♪ Wonder how they'd know where you were gonna be :3c#The crux is that you play as the weapons shop owner and you're responsible for supplying the hero and his team with weapons!#Except the BBEG has gotten wise to how the hero keeps defeating him and it sick of it - so the shop owner is cursed to be in a time loop!#I love the concept <3 It sounds so fun to play in and there's still plenty of room to think about the mechanics and how it would be played#As well as the art design! :D#We threw around some character concepts - she's really into Baldur's Gate 3 at the moment so of course they had some influence in hers hehe#Only got the starting party for the moment but there are plans for a full team of 4 plus the shopkeep >:3c And various other NPCs lol#A lot of the gameplay would basically boil down to being a bartering simulator hehe ♪#Very RPG trade-this-for-that style quests - under a time limit! Hehe#Since it's the type of game that pretty much requires replaying sections time-loop-style it's all about how quickly you can trial and error#And then hightail it to where you need to be lol#I think we were also tossing around a nap mechanic to skip right to the time loop reset in case you mess up a run haha#I gotta get back to Majora's Mask at some point I swear#We still have a good bit of concept work to do on the art side of things - she's also been really into pixel art lately and I love pixel art#I also managed to pick up a full release of one of the RPGMakers :D So that's an exciting possibility!#I haven't learned most of its ins and outs yet but I do know About importing custom assets at the very least >:3c#Same with Novelty and I haven't done that yet either lol - all in due time! I hope!!

little addendum to my last post.. since i'm in a pokemon phase atm I felt like checking in on my old dead deviantart page and uh
2015 vs 2024

9 years of art improvement wheee
#very convenient for me that i've drawn fennekin twice across a decade. the little fox baby just keeps coming back to me#i am so embarrassed of the older one and that's all that needs to be said#but also hey. beginner artists if any follow me. if you hear something telling u to do the black airbrush shading that's the devil speaking#you'll learn faster and get sm better results by looking at refs and challenging urself to block it in with a bit of trial and error#or you know just ignore me and have fun! but that's my unsolicited art advice for the day#i mean i got the shading wrong on the 2024 one too. the tail is Behind her it shouldn't have that much light on it compared to on her body#but it still looks nicer right :')

#okay not to be thinking about hetalia. Again#(but dec 20 is hetalia day For Me. and i just got that comment)#but god i really did go off with wdww#there's many. (MANY) instances of bits where characters are having a Feeling™ that i could write much better now#which is frustrating to see#but like. all things considered. not bad college me. not bad#i remember when i was going insane in germany i paid to have an editor look at the story#and they described the characters as having 'juvenile' emotions#and like that was harsh and it sure didnt make me feel good#but good god they were right#like i did a good job in the latest one shot i did for the zine. THAT is how the character's attraction shouldve been written#but instead i over use the word 'feels' and 'weird' and i just have to live with that#i learned a lot from writing these fics and ive learned a lot post them because of my critique group and professional editors#i wish i could magically apply that to them but alas. i will need to live with it#and resist telling people complementing them 'thanks but i like. i write so much better now!!!!!!'#anyway now im rambling.#miscellaneous#tldr; frustrated that i didn't really let the characters use words like fucking 'arousal' and 'attraction'#let's also blame this on me being asexual and having to figure out how to write about a feeling i dont have through trial and error but
