My fav Maritime Canadian phrases i used on the reg as a retail/food service guy
"It's goin'." in response to "hey hows it going?" or "Hey how are things?" etc.
similarly "Livin' the dream." usually in response to "Hey how ya doin'?" etc.
"Oh for sure bud." said without a single ounce of understanding or shits to give.
"Yeah no, yeah." used instead of just saying yes, for some reason.
"No yeah, no." used instead of just saying no, for some reason.
both previous phrases are used to express understanding or sympathy as well, no I can't explain how, you'd have to hear it being used in context repeatedly to get it.
Also, it doesn't matter how many times you say yeah and no together before the final word, because the final word is the sentiment of either agreement or not. I've had entire conversations with customers that has consisted of me just repeating "no yeah, yeah no yeah, yeah no, no yeah" for twenty minutes until I either agree with their final statement/request and send them on their way or say goodbye without any indication of a final word, leaving it ambiguous as to whether or not we agreed at all on anything.
"If I could bibbidi bobbidi boo it into existence for you I would happily do so, but sadly I'm not a fairy and don't have a wand." said in response to an outrages request/demand/question about a product, typically about something that we didn't sell or were out of. I don't know if this is Canadian or just a thing I started doing and everyone picked up on where I worked but I've heard several variations of it, including the more simple: "If I could wave a wand and have it for you I'd do that but I can't I'm sorry." and the angry blunt: "I'm not a magician, sorry." I like my version best because it always shocks them into laughing and immediately deescalates their anger as they realize how silly they sound demanding the impossible, and let me provide a genuine solution.
"You got it pal." Said in response to being ordered around when you're busy or annoyed, usually with the customer service voice/smile that barely conceals the boiling rage of the service industry under it. I never did as told if I said this, it's a polite go fuck yourself.
"Go on then." usually used to tell people to explain what their issue is with a blank expression. used a lot to deal with complaints or bullshit karens that you know is just being a pain to be a pain. usually combined with crossed arms or a jut of the chin at them.
"Ooh she's pissed eh?" only ever said about the weather or a machine, never actually a person.
"Ain't that a thing." Said in complete admiration for either complete stupidity or something beautiful. Be it your coworker/buddy scaling shelves to reach a 10lb barrel of something, or the sky turning purple at dusk, it was said the same regardless, in complete awe.
"Yeah that's uh... That's a thing." Said in response to the above, also in awe but also usually more tired as they recognize the danger of the situation or that they are in fact still at work for several more hours no matter how pretty the sky/thing is.
"Boy jesus get that fuckin' thing outta here!" often used for those birds that get stuck in big stores, but also just for literally anything that shouldn't be there or is annoying for the speaker. could be a pop-up on their computer for an error or a lawnmower driving through the front, equally pissed. said in one breath very fast.
"She broke." said about literally anything that isn't working immediately as expected or any coworker that's expressing extreme emotion, often laughter or sobbing. everyone/thing is 'she' regardless of gender.
"Now what exactly do you think you're doin' there bud?" Said to anything out of place in bafflement or in annoyance/outrage to someone doing something incredibly stupid when they know better.
"Aw no bud, come on now." said in absolute devastation.
"Work with me here big guy." said in prayer to any piece of machinery before trying to use it appropriately, as designed.
"We're gonna commit a few crimes but be back for dinner, yeah?" Said in prayer/prep to any piece of machinery before using it incorrectly on purpose. Also to coworkers when you're about to do something very unsafe that will piss off your more mature/responsible coworkers but you're hoping you'll get away with it. It's a confident phrase, said before disaster.
"Eh?/Hey?/Hah?" a sound just used to express deep confusion or sudden attention onto a new person you think has called you
I might add more as I think of them

I hate perspectives. I hate drawing furniture. fuck me I hate converging straight lines. I hate the rigidness of human design, specifically to draw. I hate taking a reference and having to figure out how to make that shape into a slightly different one because perspective. I'm dying

As a disabled person, I'm telling you right now:
Act disabled.
Stop telling yourself you're acting more disabled than you are.
Crawl to clean your room, use a wheelchair when you're "only" at level 3 pain, wear all the wraps and ice packs
Allow yourself to act disabled and you'll see that it helps you a whole lot when you allow yourself to use any and all tools

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

Yeah, that ain't it I think it's time to delete all my art here
@staff this is a bad decision! Tumblr is a home to many artists, artists who help make the site what it is. Way to screw them over.

Rats like me
Shout out the rats like me, crumbled under broken panels and disorganized furniture, trying desperately to survive on the scraps you've been given.
Shout out the the ghosts like me, haunting your own house because you've been told all your life you take up too much space, so now you try to be as invisible as possible, as often as possible.
Shout out the the magpies like me, hoarding away tiny trinkets and specks of joy into little bottles or pockets or boxes, hiding them to avoid the ridicule of your peers that will never understand.
Shout out to the rabid stray dogs like me, who learned to bite or die, and now find yourselves alone because no one wants to risk being bitten.
Shout out the the spiders in corners like me, you're some of the hardest workers, so skilled at what you do, they'd be lost without you! and yet everyone is afraid.
Shout out to the mudskips like me, never at home on land or in sea, out of your depth wherever you go, either drowning or drying up, but everyone sure finds you funny don't they?
Shout out to the polar bears like me, powerful and strong and from an unstable home, wondering if you'll ever find the next meal or the next day, or if your bed will still be there when you go looking for it.
Shout out to the coral like me, working hard to do more than just survive, carving and growing spaces to live in, taking along helpful loved ones so they're safe too, inevitably losing it all to the wrong types of folks or a shift in environment.
Shout out to the carrion crows like me, they have legends of you! In every one you are the villain, the thing that doomed them to falling, as if they didn't set themselves on fire and you just happened to be around to see the ashes.
Shout out the baby birds that fell from the nest, the deer foals whose mothers got shot by a hunter, the new born squirrels whose tree has been cut down, the baby whales beached listening to their mothers cry out from the water, the kittens under cardboard ten feet away from their mother whose been hit by a car; shout out to the lost and abandoned and systematically failed like me! It was not and has never been your fault. You were just a baby, what could you have done?
Shout out to the rats, the ghosts, the magpies, the rabid stray dogs, the spiders in the corners, the mudskips, the polar bears, the coral, the carrion crows, the lost/abandoned/systematically failed like me! You're just like me. We're all just like each other. We're never really alone, not if we don't want to be. Nothing will ever be easy for those like us, we will always be tired and angry somewhere deep inside, we will always lament the lack of justice. One day we'll build a world where no one else will suffer like we have, and we'll build it together, if only out of spite because sometimes hope is just too hard to grasp.
We can keep going, the lot of us, together.

Dragon Soul Kid
Inspired by the new IAP cosmetics from Sky: Children Of The Light! From the season of The Nine Coloured Deer. I know the horns are meant to be the deers antlers, but with the combination of last seasons guides hair it looked very much like an eastern dragon to me in a human kid form. So I played with a pretty design based on that idea!
