Eggtober 25 Imposter or “The Egg Plant” Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush. 17 Colors, 40 minutes. Did you know the Eggplant, was named that because when the Brits first encountered it, it was a smaller pale varietal that was the shape and color of an egg? The reason Eggplant (or Aubergine as some call them) are known by the wider western world to be big purple phallic things of emoji fame is because, well, the purple ones have an attractive color and a higher yield because the fruits are bigger. So we just kept the name for the initial variety and slapped it on the big purple things we started growing and it stuck around to the point that we basically don’t even see the namesake variety anymore and it took me some embarrassingly long number of years to learn that Eggplants got that name for, well, an obvious reason. But that leaves a question... Is the eggplant in my painting an aubergine? Or is it an egg that someone “planted” there to bamboozle you all? Is the title leading you to an assumption? Or is the art? A very tricky art for a very tricky holiday coming up. I have something special planned for Halloween, but this was going to be my Halloween entry before I came up with a better idea. A trick and a treat, so to speak. It was always my intent to be cheeky on at least a few of these, but my intent was to have as few inedible eggs as possible (for example, a Fabergé Egg would be intricate and exquisite to paint, but the restriction to eggs that are edible not only spares me hours of learning to paint filigree, but also challenges me to come up with an edible egg every day. Similarly, while many eggs in their shells are quite interesting to draw, including some famous video game eggs, I feel like it would be a bit cheep (haha, get it? Cheap? Bird pun?) to just... throw up a robin’s egg one day and an ostrich egg the next and keep just relying on the shape and shell color to tell you something.) All manner of eggs are a decent challenge, of course, and I would never disparage anyone for doing an entire eggtober of just eggs in their shells, but as Eggtober was primarily inspired by @quezify and his fried eggs, I wanted to stick with that edible theme. I may even come back next year and do an Eggtober just entirely of eggs in their shells, or entirely inedible eggs like those of video game fame. But I promised myself that for this Eggtober, I would strive to do nothing that wasn’t an incredible, edible, egg. So whether or not this egg is an imposter, it should be perfectly edible! As always, big thanks to the Egg Master, @quezify for all that is Eggtober.

heres my oc for today, shī tóng, hes a guardian lion brought to life by a wealthy dragon household, but when his other half died (guardian lions almost invariably come in sets) he left to go wander. he was almost consumed by his own magic in grief until he came across two kids, one of whom had the ability to cancel out magic for a short time. long story short hes a dad now.

being a mentally ill woman fucking sucks ass around misogynistic men you just confirm everything they think about all women is true and you become a being with less sentience than a dog to them

#absolutely no respect towards you as like a thinking human being #my brother is extremely this way and he treats the 19 year old MOUTHBREATHER teenage boy here as more of an adult than me it is absolutely #bonkers how he fails to grasp simple concepts and can barely string a sentence together and he gets manly one on one talks w my brother #and i get like eyerolls and smirks and scoffs #for i am a creature ruled by emotion and they arent bcs anger and rage and apathy aren't emotions for men

#konan #and nagato #man i.....just have to post the entire panel #because it gets me in a way you can't understand #this is the first time we see nagato as an adult and he is looking Bad. like real bad #look at him. the exposed ribs. the cheekbones. the thin frail arms #but of course look at the Fucking machine #i love that design man it rocks. it's sturdy and menacing and it is DEFINITELY a walker given the way it has leg-like things on the sides #and i also love the chakra receptors on his back. like it gives him some kind of unholy halo or wings do you get me. #nagato is to me the perfect image of the “man who became god” phenomenon #and now on to konan which is the cherry on top of this pic #it's the way she's touching the side of the machine in an affectionate way. konan loves nagato. she loves him a lot. he is her only friend. #and he is the only reason why she even bother staying in akatsuki!! i have no doubt that she is some kind of caregiver to him #given his frail health and that is personally a very important thing to me the mod. #there is so much love behind that simple gesture. this is one of my favorite panels Ever. #there is a sentence that more or less goes like “god is your best friend” #konan doesn't sees nagato as a god like the ame citizens do. she sees her friend. #ok im done

can you remember being born? were you born at all

#my art #kuron vld #vld kuron #vld #this is sorta a companiom piece to the haggar one i posted recently #also. just now realising the perfect timing of posting that drawing on MOTHERS DAY of all possible days #i swear i didnt plan that. didnt even cross ny mind?? but its neat ig #this drawing is pretty simple but i really like how it turned out!!! #it was meant to evoke those infographics of human fetus development #its wrong. there should be middle stages between a fetus and a fully grown adult man. but theres nothing there. #like. he had no childhood or anything. he just woke up as a full ass guy. theres no middle point between a mindless clump of cells and him. #no infant. no child. no teenager. just kuron. #this is wrong and unnatural and it shouldnt have happened but it did #the part of him that looks the most alive is the bloody arm. his life depends on it. hes nothing without it. #sigh. i have so much to say abt this piece and i feel like its pretty barebones and simple tbh #but i still cant put into words what i mean!!!!! i am trying and failing!!! argghhhhhhhhg. whateverr #i have THOUGHTS about this but a weird ramble is all youre gonna get folks. maybe one day il write a small coherent analysis of this thing #he will never escape haggar. he was not meant to. hes asleep and clueless and hell never wake up #he wont ever become more than what was planned for him. and he doesnt even know #blood #gore #i guess. not really gore. more like viscera and flesh?

if youre over 17yo and you cant cook youre useless

#the amount of people in my generation who will get GENUINELY FLOORED if they see someone cook boxed mac n cheese #to the point where it is notable if someone cooks. #like it isnt a 'oh thats something everyone does. why are you mentioning that you drink water' #people freak out and act like you just revealed you have x ray vision and can fly. #it isnt cute for you to not be able to cook. #and i hope you know i am always imagining how you will slowly starve to death in an apocalypse scenario bc you dont know #how to heat something as simple as a can of beans to safe temperature #like seriously grow up #it screams entitlement and ineptitude #it's horrrrrrible in urban environments but even in rural areas you still find people who only know how to pop a ready meal in the microwav #they genuinely consider that cooking. #like. #actually. #inept adults #new tag dropped lol #it is kinda cool how im seen as godly just for doing the bare minimum every single able bodied human should be able to do

I've been looking at the way I drew ninjas before, especially Jay, and what's changed the most is that I went from drawing Jay as a young adult in his 20s to drawing him now in his 30s.

And I blame DR for that.

And also my Dad Jay AU

#btw I hate my previous designs for the ninjas #They are so simple and practically all of them looked the same #I am happy to be updating my hc on their designs in my elemental animal forms series #Going back to the original post #it's much more fun to draw all of them as adults in their 30s than as teenagers

Small rant in the tags!

#FUCK andrea wagner #like wtf??? #i know a few people are leaving the securitywaiter dreamtheory because of it #but personally I'm just saying nuh uh. I simple do not agree with Ness being a teenager. #He's literally played by a guy whos almost in his 40s. #so no. I am not leaving. I simply not going to look at that. #To me it's the mpreg in the fasbear frights. #or fucking fazgoo. #i simply don't vibe with it so I will not act like it exists. #also I don't know when the book was written but to me? It feels like Ness was changed after the fact to mess with the shipping. #And just. No. I do not agree. #I will ship these two middle aged white men. BECAUSE THEY ARE LITERALLY FUCKING MIDDLE AGED WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ANDREA WFTUDYGUW #btw I'm not like /mad/ this is just.. #so fucking annoying! #Scott and co. didn't do shit when people were shipping adults with dead children in this franchise but now that there is #(Within the narritves people are writing) TWO CONSENTING ADULTS now is when you pull the plug? #(I do not BELIEVE that this is what actually happened but it is suspicious!) There (to my knowlege) isnt a reason for Ness to be a teenager #outside of all this #anyway. Wack. #merry christmas #securitywaiter #ness the waiter #dreamtheory #mike x ness #fnaf #five nights at freddy's

Travelling back home tomorrow hoping for a smooth groove

#i did have a really nice week last week but now im back to everything feeling busy #(its not really that busy) #and oh i miss being slow like idk ever since i was a literal child doing ONE excursion weekly #for an hour #always felt like such s draining burden #and tbh i would like to know why thst is because while it's easy to see as poor habit as an adult reinforcing itself #as a kid i was always made to do things. see people. #i did a summer camp every year at least during the day #i did sports i went hiking in forests #but i remember so distinctly like an age where i stopped asking my parents to try new things #because i would get so excited!!!! but then every week it would become this overwhelming presence #despite being something that i actively enjoyed #and it eventually felt so awful i was like okay no more wanting things you dont use them wisely #like ouch yeah actually that's a big one. wanting things usually wraps back #around to shame or guilt just about always #anyway how is this relevant to travelling? #it's just that i have to travel tomorrow and i have a doctors appointment Friday i have to go to in person #ive changed beds ive slept in 3 times in 5 days #and all i can say at the end of it is that even these little things are JUST enough to be on edge #to feel like im putting my hands over my ears and closing my eyes and pretend nothing bad is gonna happen #even thougu DEFINITELY something bad is going to happen #but of course it doesnt because this is all benign stuff ive done a trillion times before of no note #crazy how complicated it can be to be a person #it is why i dream of living in a small village where i am an apprentice tradesperson and i live simple house #and the house you can walk to anywhere you need to anywhere you need in an your #but no one is that urgent about anything anyway. #beautiful little place that has never actually ever existed for anyone in anytime #but i am still wanting to scream and pull my hair out just asking why why cant everything slow down and be smaller

need to make an HD 2023 version of the Retail Robin meme at some point. so I can make memes of the daily occurances of dealing with the public.

Customer: *puts card into pinpad and does not do anything but stand there for a full minute*

me, wondering if the pinpad froze again: "Does it have any questions on the pinpad?"

Customer: "No."

Me: "oh, it must be frozen again--"

Customer: "It's just been asking me if I want cash back."

Me, internally, 'yeah, that counts as a '''question on the pinpad'''''

Customer: "But I don't want cash back."

Me: "if you look at the touch screen, there will be an orange button right there that says 'no'. You can press that to go to the next screen."

Customer: *hits button*

Customer: *continues standing there not doing anything further for a full 30 seconds*

Me: "Annnd does it say anything else, or does it just say 'processing'....?"

Customer: "Now it's just asking me for a pin."

Me: "In that case you can enter your pin to run it as debit, or you can skip the pin and run it as credit by hitting the green enter button."

Customer: "I don't want to use my pin though. I want to do credit."

Me, repeating, "Okay, to do credit, all you have to do is hit the green button."

Customer: "this is too complicated."

Register: *error noise-- transaction has been canceled due to timing out-- which is around 3-5 minutes of inactivity*

Me: "Okay, the register timed out due to inactivity, if you could remove your card and re-insert it for me--"

Customer: *rips card out and shoves it back in* "This is too complicated!!"

Me: *stands up, leans around register, confirms "no cash back and credit, right?" *and presses the exactly 2 buttons that it takes to complete the transaction and has the card processed in 2 seconds* "Okay, go ahead and remove your card."

Customer: "Don't I get a receipt??"

Me, pointing at the printer which is audibly and visibly chugging away: "As soon as it's done printing, yes, it takes a second,"

Customer: *ignores me and reaches over to the register printer and physically rips the receipt in half and almost jams the printer trying to yank it out before it's done*

Me: *has to open up the printer and carefully extract the other half of the receipt and reset the roller*

Customer: "Why is this taking so long??"

#walks works #and the worst part is this interaction happens multiple times a day #with full grown adults who have been using pinpads and card payments for a full decade or more at this point (2 decades? 3?) #this is not fellow neurodivergent people either #I've had plenty of people either teens or twenties or IN THEIR 80S tell me they've never used a card before and that they need help to run #and I am more than happy to walk them through how to use it and they're always happy to follow directions #but no. gotta get the 5-10 40 year olds who refuse to follow simple prompts for a thing they do every single day #and then get mad at me for it ''taking so long'' my guy you are the problem here

what is even the point of having so many tiny OCs if I can't indulge the single most basic wish fulfillment of 'be held very gently in the arms of someone much much larger' through them smdh

#I mean I guess mel gets held technically but it's not warm and tender it's just of a matter of simple practicality #and like it's not even-- like-- #this is not a problem solvable by 'well I can do whatever I want' none of my little guys even POTENTIALLY have anyone #I am a simple woman I just want to bed down in some sort of cozy burrow and/or be gently but bodily Held whenever I'm sad #ALAS I am a decently Large adult human woman in real life and not a hobbit or perhaps an anthropomorphic mouse of some kind #about me

i have a very peculiar life where i've often, due to chronic illness and the resulting reclusive tendencies from said illness, just plain not associated with people of my own age on a regular basis for months or years at a time. but when i do go out, i'm, like, not an unattractive or socially unsuccessful person. well i'm not necessarily socially successful but i'm not unattractive. and i'll look back on like a certain period sometimes and realize that i had a lot of people trying to pursue me romantically, and i'm like "hey what happened to that? its been such a long while since anybody asked me out........."

"oh yeah i dont leave the house"

#at my work i am the kid between kids #i am DEFINITELY too young to be considered to strike up a workplace tryst with lol. at least relative to my coworkers #most of my coworkers are women anyway #im one of the only 20-somethings who works in the entire district too. #tales from diana #not necessarily to say that i desire to be asked out in fact im very uncomfortable w it naturally. as an aroace person #who only ever has the pleasure of letting people down. #when i was a teenager though (especially before i realized i was aroace) no one ever asked me out #i felt very undesirable/unnoticed bc of it. in retrospect ppl did find me cute they just didnt talk to me. #i was kind of unapproachable. if i want to be really cruel to my teenage self then i could call her a pariah. #whatever ppl thought of me... nobody talked to me. and i never talked. plain and simple #then i entered the young adult world and it felt like everywhere i went there would be some man i hardly knew #asking me out when he had just learned my name. very strange to me! #im like why should you do that? i realize it's bc these men want a girlfriend #& they see me & i seem pretty & nice enough. theyre just like 'she will do' #no i wont! lol #sometimes i think like 'have i changed? that hasnt happened in quite awhile' #yes that kind of thing has ceased to happen since ive ceased to hang out w new ppl. #in the past year especially ive made more deliberate attempts to extricate myself from various social spheres #and i dont see really anyone socially except for some friends ive had for years. #if one of them were to suddenly express romantic interest in me. well. boy would that shake things up! lol #they know me though. they know i dont love.

first chapter of my lil prpr drabble series is complete and im VERY EXCITED to write more of this...it's a very low effort fic for me so it's not gonna be super plot driven in the hope that i can write it more easily and frequently. but im still Hype to write more of it so i can finally start publishing some chapters. gonna be so much fun

feeling....hehe

#i am a BIT nervous due to the fact that it will be rated M #but sometimes u have to branch out of ur comfort era and write something that has a lil bit of thirst #it's not necessarily for seggsy reasons just adult jokes and themes bc theyre adults #it'll kinda be like a simple suggestion but just slightly more unhinged #text post

You know what this site needs? A specific way to filter specific tags from specific blogs. I don't want to block the entire #blorbo tag, and I don't want to block/filter [insert person], I just don't want to read anything [insert person] has to say about #blorbo.

#and i'm sure there are other people who have no interest in reading anything I have to say about blorbo either! #it could be such a specific win for us all! #hellsite #musings #anyway it's fine i am an adult i can simply roll my eyes and move on with my day but what is the fucking use of technology #if something as simple as filtering with two conditions is not readily available on a website that you can pay moneybucks for

Oh did something happen with Jon Anderson???

Nothing happened to Jon Anderson, it is what people are DOING with Jon Anderson.

#to keep things simple #not a fan of how prog fans (in particular on tumblr) infantilize him #or just treat him like some kind of uke anime boy #when that is a real life person yk an adult man #while it is fun to talk about his general whimsy and pixie-like namastae nature there is more too him yk #he's a control freak and perfectionist and a kind of goofy stoner who was described as being horrendous at organizing himself #anyway I am no authority on real life ppl I just get annoyed seeing ppl flanderize him like he is some kind of cutesy anime boy #call me a hater but it is exhausting #asks
