weed brownie that turns you into the ancient greek amphora version of yourself

#Ultrakill #minos #sisyphus #king sisyphus #king minos #id hesitate to tag this as their ship name but it is kind of gay to eat a guys weed brownie.#also it was hard for me to find an appropriate ancient greek depiction of sisyphus i was comfortable using #and im not even fully comfortable with this one!!!#but uh anyways yeah its greek blackfigure pottery and most of the figures skintones are that color on the pottery which makes it feel more #ambiguous than the paintings i found where hes like. white. i know greeks were a majority white population and its only nowadays that #more awareness is brought to the fact not all greeks where white but anywaysssss #the tldr is i was struggling to find an ancient greece depiction of sisyphus that wasnt like. a white guy jumpscare #that would be a little funny though. weed brownie that turns you white. scary

Hello! I've been kind of vanished, and I'm not confident I'm fully back yet, but I'm feeling noticeably less frazzled, and I'm ready to start catching up on the backlog of what I've been doing! To start with, I went mad with my new homeowner power and decided to paint a room. And then I decided to paint it a WILD color. And then I decided I also wanted to learn how to panel a wall. All by myself, with a hard deadline before my aunt gifted me a pile of old furniture that was going to take the room from empty to full. It was very cool and fun, but oh my god

Also, most of the paint work quality in my home is uhhhhh indifferent, so i had some fun soeed bumps like having to cut an old mirror off the back of my door and finding at least two color strata of it being painted into place (even after filling and sanding and priming and painting, i can still see the shadow, but that's a problem for future me to continue addressing). And I picked a REALLY dark green. I knew that taking a dark color back to white would need a lot of coats, but I.... did not consider that going from white to almost black would be equally bad, even with toned primer.

If I was doing this again, I think I would have attached the paneling after that first coat. But I think I was still underestimating how many coats it would take to darken bright white material, even with sanding for better grip. And the caulking almost broke me! My secret strategy to picking up new skills is always to underestimate how complicated they are, then power through on pride and stubbornness, but this tested me, haha

But I really love it! It's been done for a few weeks, so I've been dragging furniture into the room and steeling myself to drill holes for the curtain rod, and the Horrors have faded and I'm considering painting another guest room. I adore this color (salamander) to pieces, and I still have another gallon, but I'm not sure I want to commit to all this again. But.... the effect is soooooo restful, and it looks SO luxe, especially with the colored outlets and wall register. It's not going to be in my next paint project, but it may come up again!

#crafts #me home #painting #sure why not let's use that tag for all kinds of painting #i have these lovely wood floors and wanted them to pop #i love it they look great but for the love of god montressor #also the struggles of threading flexible 12 foot molding pieces into my little five seater #they fit if i wrapped them around the back headrest but holy shit there was a moment i thought I'd have to cut them in the parking lot #but i broke the seal! I'm now basically an expert!#im not an expert the genre of shortform videos where pro painters dunk on each other's technique is actually kinda disheartening 🤣#but it turns out it looks good and i love it!#my laundry room sink will never recover

(aka poster series?) and the other one is by engaging in Ideas (generally posts. or memes/incorrect quotes/etc.)#had a really really interesting convo with a friend irl about fanart and fandoms. they were really active for genshin and stuff and so the #experiences between large and small fandoms were fascinating to compare.. i think i prefer the .. intimacy(?) of just doing what i obsess #over instead of looking for the statistics and clout and notes now. the art i make feels more meaningful and intentional that way.

Sapphire's beef

I don't think sapphire likes mother geneieve all that well after all she can and is protective of her peers she hates the fact she would try to intervene with someone who's trying to keep Sliky happy Sapphire won't allow that to happen again she wasn't there to help her last time she won't allow that to happen again

It's funny Sliky and Sapphire have sorta the same trauma both had terrible mother's and ended up fighting and killing them except of course saphs mom wasn't a wendigo she's fought one but they weren't related

Fun fact: Sapphire is in disguise which we all know she's a demon however only non humans, ancient creatures, the dead, or other demons can pick up on the fact she's a demon in disguise beta wally is the exception because somehow he is

I'm not exactly used to drawing mother geneieve just yet much like silly I'll have to get used to it

With all that aside mother geneieve belongs to @silky-silks the artwork in the fourth picture also belongs to that mutual

Ooh! If they do get married beta Wally could officiate the wedding he's technically a priest

#sorry for my endless rambling for this post #but this was the surprise i had planned it would've came out sooner if i didn't struggle #but ha! i did it and sapphire is finally back #with a edited design #i would have drawn bubble as well but i forgot #sapphire dearest #oc art #drawing ocs #ibs paint x #digital illustration #demon oc #deer oc #eh I don't think sapphire likes talking with mom's of any kind if she has a bad feeling about them #this one definitely

i dusted today.

the alarm to clean went off, and i got up and dusted until the 20 minute timer went off. turns out in that time, if i'm focused, i can do nearly the whole upstairs.

it's such a little thing, but we have to be kind to ourselves, you know? even if you little thing today is just getting out of bed, or brushing your teeth, or breathing for another day, we should be proud of ourselves.

maybe it really does get better

#love yourself through it - especially if it's hard #genuinely thanking every kind soul that left so much helpful advice for me #therapist and i are working on finding an app next as i find i struggle with breaking big tasks into small pieces #and the overwhelm causes The Stuck so... we're making progress lads #it's been a lot of fake it til you make it but hey.... maybe that's all it takes #just keep saying it'll get better til it does #if you need someone to say they're proud of you /i'm/ proud of you #proud of me too actually.... which is weird #anyways enough rambling i need to go pick up dog food and paint chips

Only Emil could talk about falling in love with a girl in a way that somehow makes him sound more gay than before.

He first starts talking about meeting this girl, his "Beatrice" right after leaving off talking about how he's salty about how when he tried to write to Demian he never heard back. When describing Beatrice he repeatedly refers to her as having boyish features. When he tries to paint her the first attempts fail, and when he finally does end up succeeding at painting a face that "pleased him", he realizes it looks like Demian. And then, despite the influence over his life he claims she's had on him, he gets so caught up in musing over the painting and thinking and dreaming over Demian that he completely forgets about her.

#demian #emil sinclair #max demian #beatrice #demian chapter 4 #I know the painting has more meaning than what I've stated #and that there can be other reasons why he struggled to portray Beatrice #but put on top of how he doesn't get involved with girls like his rowdy friends do #even though he lets them drag him into alcohol smoking and all other kinds of vices #and the way he's got such a strong and intense friendship with Max Demian #who's clearly had a powerful influence on him and who he repeatedly longs for over the course of the book #it just makes you go 🤔🏳️‍🌈
