#I'm kicking myself for not using Glaze on my art

[horce-divorce]

I know I keep saying I'm jumping ship but I gotta be real w you all, tumblr being simply no more or less trustworthy than any other big platform rn... kinda is what it is. and I do still prefer the UI/posting format/culture to anything else I can find. And as jv has said, the other, smaller/better/more privacy oriented platforms can't do much more to protect your posts, either. that's kind of on us at this point (as artists, i mean, to run your pics thru Glaze and uh. The other thing before posting). I do think cohost and pillowfort seem like hopeful alternatives, especially as homes for NSFW and in terms of better moderation. I do hope I see more people go over to those places, too. And im loving the idea to opt in to the AI scrape with stuff that will poison the data, even if it does shoot us in the foot long term. Please u guys it would be so so funny.

Since we know the midjourney deal will keep the site up for at least another year, I'm thinking I'll probably keep tumblr as home for my longer form posts and maybe even photography for the time being... and probably for the more frequent car life updates. Most of our followers are already either here or on, unfortunately, Insta, and that's certainly no place for art and long form blog posts. I see no point in going to WordPress now of all times, considering it's the same parent company/CEO/same issues. What else is there to do, short of hosting my own blog on my neocities? (Something I'm actually working on anyway!)

I will continue to voice my displeasure even as my mangy little claws cling to the last tip of the mast as this ship goes down, but all things considered, I think I wouldn't be hurting anyone but myself if I left tumblr now. If I was here merely for entertainment purposes I would quit in solidarity, but I'm not, my life and my boyfriend's life both depend on being seen right now.

So yeah that's all. Don't mind me kicking stomping whining about matt and whatever else, thats just the usual lmao <3

Hello! haven't sent a message in a while, but hope you have been enjoying a nice weekend \^o^/ oh and i saw u mentioned donuts a bit ago and was curious what ur fav kind is (personally i can't resist a good bavarian cream). Also unrelated but have you ever seen the show mushishi? I'd recommend it if you haven't. okay that's all have a good night! ╰(￣ω￣ｏ)

omg hii!! my weekend was ok had a good saturday and a not so great but over all ok sunday 👍 cramps kicked my ass and i stayed in bed all day yesterday but thats ok. i dont feel much better now but i am going to bed early tonight just to get some rest lol

today both my professors complimented my writing tho!!! my art history professor mentioned in class that I had written a really good paper and my writing history professor said he likes how i insert myself into my writing and how i'm not afraid of being candid when writing.. he was like i love when writers are vunerable, you really feel like youre getting to know them ( this was after he had us read out the essays about a city's birth and the indigenous people who lived there before... and I wrote half about that and half about living in richmond and how I teetered on the verge of becoming an alcoholic and how I chainsmoked out my apartment window and was extremely lonely to the point of hanging out at the robert e lee memorial alone in the dew covered grass at 3 am just to see the stars and how it grounded me when I was feeling especially fragile and untethered and how I would adorn my eyelashes in glitter to create my own personal constellations when i didnt feel like walking 30ish minutes to get the the racist statue LOL)

wow i got sidetracked real bad lmao.... as for donuts, lately I've been a plain old glazed girly. theyre basic but idk whatever. I used to hate them because of sensation of extremely sticky fingers make me feel like im get electrocuted but a bunch of tiny nails just underneath my skin... but now i like ok with it bc i love them so much. at the farmers market theres these weird big and skinny ones that are so fucking good. I'm really craving one right now. ....... i love bavarian cream too but I havent had a decent one in a depressingly long time.

ive never seen mushishi but ive added it to my list! ty!!

#norm.allie #asks #anonymous #my art history professors was like ok im noting going to “out” this student #but one of yall wrote a very good and insightful essay about this #i think i over share bc how little I talk to people and how i long to be seen LOL #like i didd it again just now #looked up my writing professors birthday and hes also a pisces.... lmao #im constantly writing like *teen valley girl voice* dear diary.......... #im constantly writing at least here like that one andrew garfield interview where he talks about soulmates #and doesnt take a breath at all LOL #in my school papers I use em dashes and other punctuation to help with the flow of it #god sorry for the novel i just love to talk apparently #college owns

PLEASE BY ALL MEANS PROPOSE, I AM SO READY 👰🏻‍♀️ *ahem* i mean *cooly leans against the wall with a rose between my teef* hey cutie ;)

wait no, i can’t i’m a poser:( it’s pathetic. i’m kicking my feet, blushing so much rn, the dumbest giggles, this is crazy 🥲 thank you for YOUR kind words, having your support means the world to me and i hope you to be the same for you <3

but it truly is so beautiful, i’ve recently started to love seeing peoples different mediums of expression, whether it’s fanart, series/ film edits, and pics of course!!! i hope that this is something that continues to garner joy for you as a hobby, i surely love it, and i’m glad others love it. you articulate that creativity beautifully and i hope looking back at this page, you’re proud of what you made. 🥹 anime is relatively new for me too, and i feel like i’ve learnt more and appreciated the characters though fics than i do from watching the actual show @gege you are no longer the artist for jujutsu kaisen after what you’ve done, enjoy retirement bb 🥰 

and yes PLEASE let me talk about strawberry soju for a sec, first of all you said you based this off a song, i’m only finding results for one song by jesse barrera. A VIBE, we love that. second off, i just need to get it off my chest, i love foodie sasha! third, personally i know you for nanami wips n fics, but what you write for other characters, ART🤌🏼fourth, anything you write i will eat up. shamelessly. just know that :) also yes, kbbq was a special occasion meal for us so yes i get giddy over any reference of korean cuisine!

lastly, i’m so happy to hear that you were able to get out of the house and spend time with those core people, i’d like to take this moment to invite them to our wedding 🫶🏼

i’m not ready for the finale, i’m still not over the fact that they glazed over bertholdt’s death and reiner’s (lack of) reaction, like what? i’m also still considering do i need to continue jjk? probably not, i was just joking about actually being a masochist.🫣 

nonetheless; love you my sweet daisy, have a wonderful day/night! 🤍

don't worry, I'm already planning our wedding, honeymoon, and early retirement ;) we're going to be so happy together!! 😭♥️

I will be your biggest cheerleader, I promise you! I love seeing how people express themselves through art. I've always been an avid consumer of fan works (fanart, fan fiction, etc.). I agree that these fics have expanded on the characters much much more than what we're actually given LOL. As much as I appreciate the universe gege has created, these fics feed into my obsession even more and I'll always be grateful to every single writer/artist out there that is contributing to this fandom (and all fandoms in general).

hearing your thoughts on strawberry soju makes me so so happy!! thank you again for reading it ♥️ foodie Sasha is canon, I always imagine here with a hot potato in her pocket for snacking LOL. I have written a lot of Nanami content, but Eren also holds a special place in my heart.

also, we're going to have such bomb ass food at our wedding - filipino and korean cuisine, can it get any better than this?!

ahhhh okay I won't say anything to not spoil you, but I definitely have lots and lots of thoughts about it. can't wait to hear what you think. AND I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS (regarding continuing jjk). Not sure why I'm putting myself through this pain and misery anymore! it's too much!! but the story and characters are so captivating, idk if I can really drop it completely. we shall see...

I LOVE YOU THEA!! hope you're having a great start to your week so far! 💗💗💗

I was out pretty much all day

So no art news, really. My dad did set aside the box of old packaged charms, so I do have some backing cards that are all ready to be cleared off and loaded with new charms. Unfortunately, he buried my stuff in a big way, so even I have no idea where more cards are, so I might have to just order new ones. Then, when I can finally unearth the old ones, I'll just have more cards. If I can make a thing of this, which is my long-term goal, more cards is better anyway. Besides, I wouldn't have to sell that many charms to be able to afford more cards, and my dad has said he'll try to get my stuff rounded up so I can go through it.

Tomorrow, probably between easter stuff, I'm going to pull the old charms off the cards and pull the hardware out so I can use the clasps and figure out what to do with them. Some of them are kind of okay, but some are just...... lacking. I don't think I've glazed any of my charms, so I'll have to find a good time to do that so I can get them ready to be photographed nicely for sale. I'm gonna start small, like I think I keep saying, on Facebook, so I can build those social connections. Maybe.

Anyway. So I went out to lunch with my younger sister and dad. My brother was more interested in spending the weekend with his Grindr buddy, and of course, my other sister had other plans.

My sister bought me this awesome slate roof tile from her visit to New Orleans which I can't get over. It's so awesome.... even if it is just... a knickknack. And a heavy one at that.

When my friend got home from work, she had news regarding the followup on my interview: "It's not a no, but she's going to keep looking." My friend's manager has no other prospects, but I'm not good enough because I don't have retail or management experience. Even though I mentioned I know how to reset a store. We talked about it at length. As for my lack of management experience, it isn't even in the job description, unless somehow, the manager crossed her wires about the position I'm pursuing. The position I want, the position I swear I applied for, never mind the position she might want me for instead, has no prerequisite for management.

I'm. The. Only. Prospect. I'm available. I have loads of experience. I told her, not as a manager, but I've opened AND closed. I have loads of experience stocking and resetting. I have tons of experience in a variety of customer service environments. I'm reliable. I'm a good employee. I'm a self-starter. I'm responsible. I merely haven't had the opportunity to manage in any capacity. I can do any fucking jobs you teach me to do. How fucking hard is it to sell jewelry??

Whatever. I'm not going to beg or bother for a job. Fuck it. I'm just going to fucking move on. I'm so angry because this is the closest I feel like I've gotten--I had someone on the inside who could speak on my behalf, someone in good standing. And now I'm the only prospect and I'm still not good enough and I have no idea why. Is it because I look like I'm an unstable prospect?? I would have stayed in Arizona, but my friend* was getting sick of living with me, and I wasn't really comfortable living with my friend's parents.

I'm so mad, because it was decent money, and I was starting to put my spare time into charms. At the same time, this friend was kind of ruining my money sense.

*My dumb, sentimental ass messaged a mutual friend, hey have you heard from asshole-friend lately, I'm concerned. Oh yeah, we chatted recently, he seems to still be living where you guys were living together. Oh. Go fucking figure. I fucked myself and he came out shiny. I mean, of course, overall, I'll have another gap in my employment, but at the same time, I am self-motivated. When he told me we couldn't be friends anymore if I kept living with his parents after they kicked him out, I knew. I knew. If I went back to Wisconsin, we wouldn't be friends anyway. I could've stayed, kept my fucking cushy gig, moved up, kept my studio practice invigorated. But fucking nooOooOOoooo I had to be all skittish and weird.

So................... I finally took my dad's advice. I applied to the company he works for, using him as a reference. Since you can't get a fucking job around here without a fucking reference.

Additionally, I grabbed an app at the place we had lunch. The guy puppyguarding the applications was all too eager to facilitate me in filling out the application. One of the associates we spoke with said they were desperate for help. I've worked at two restaurants and I'm familiar with lunch from the kitchen and the front-end. I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world to get another restaurant job. Honestly, people are always going to want or need to eat. I even got a reference at the restaurant. I literally don't care if there's a bonus or incentive. I just want money. I have goals, and I've already been tired for a long-ass time of being told, sorry, I don't like you living here anymore. Also, living in Wisconsin is not great for my health.

You know what though?

One good thing about all the junk I own, that my dad has been holding onto? I'm gonna fucking sell it, for like five dollars, give or take. I'll probably hold onto a few relevant things, like my jewelry toolboxes, tools, clothes, but I'll just purge and start over with pretty much what I have. I'm not expecting more than grown-up pocket change, but I don't really care. I just... I don't use any of it. I've lived this long without it. I'm trying to transition to a completely different lifestyle. I'm so serious about my lifestyle goals; I don't need a history of junk weighing me down and holding me back.

Honestly, I'll probably hold onto more of it than I intend to.
