#Scroll through and text and all that

[arlo-venn]

Now that marijuana is fully out of my system, the night terrors and getting trapped in nightmare loops for entire irl days at a time and the waking up kicking and screaming has returned! 🤠 And so far they’ve all been about the family that I am entirely estranged from for very good reasons 🤠 And my tics and waking seizures are making a come back! I’m having a lot of fun! 🤠

#I dream extremely vividly #I can read in dreams and use my phone like normal #Scroll through and text and all that #Phone calls are usually garbled but the rest is just like reality #I die in my dreams #I feel the physical pain #I feel them holding me down #I feel the wind on my face as I run run run from them #Woke up screaming for Tyrell this morning #Couldn’t stay awake and was dragged back into the loop #Kicked the fuck out of the shelf next to my bed recently #Woke up in a running crawl (right off my very tall bed) #Neck muscles enraged from the irl head flinging #At least the tics and neuro issues aren’t quite as bad as they usually are without weed #I assume because of the naltrexone? #which I will be out of soon with no $ to refill too :( #but low dose naltrexone does not help with the dreaming #only weed has ever helped with the dreaming #but hey I have been less nauseous these last few days at least #so that’s a win #idk what kind of tw to put on this post I’m sorry #I haven’t seen them in ten years irl #and now they’re torturing me every time I sleep #and it is so so so real #getting some dream things and reality things mixed up again #am confused #everything is a lot! all at once! always! #makes zero sense for stuff from compunding pharmacies to not be covered by insurance #makes zero sense for medical marijuana to be legal but not covered by insurance #compounding*

I LOVE the scene of Fig giving Riz a “thinking of you” card to Riz, giving the credit to Gorgug and THEN Gorgug giving Riz such a personal and heartfelt gift and tried to figure out what it was that Riz was talking about

I figured out why none of the fanart of Coronabeth Tridentarius seems right to me, it's cuz she looks like my friend Audrey who sat two seats over from me in torts class my first semester of law school

Audrey is the second-most physically attractive person I've ever seen in my life (first place goes to my appropriately-named college friend Helen, who I know mostly from burlesque club) (it was a lot, guys) so I really understand where Gideon was coming from. Like if Audrey asked me to participate in an inadvisable sword fight against someone way more practiced than me I would totally do it

#tlt #the locked tomb #coronabeth tridentarius #@ obies did y'all see Helen perform at all? it would've been your senior year #relatedly (comma) two of my coworkers (girls a lil younger than me) followed me on insta yesterday #after I followed one of them so I could post her eclipse pic and credit her #and they were apparently both scrolling through my posts and texted each other at the same time last night #cuz they got to my college burlesque posts and went 'oh shit' #keep in mind these girls know me as the assistant county attorney #when you get down to brass tacks (comma) I am their lawyer #they are used to me going to court and answering really specific legal questions about federal land patents #I am currently first chairing a lawsuit that (comma) while technically against the county (comma) #is really against their boss #and they look at my insta and see what I looked like stripping on stage in college #it was hilarious tbh #I spam

this post. this post is my villain origin story

because on the one hand i'm like yeah! i get it! and on the other hand hhhhhh the word "woobify" like nails on a chalkboard and the trust is not there anymore with people who talk about woobifying villains because sometimes that just means sympathizing with them or doing anything other than discussing their evil badness and yet this post sounds so reasonable, look, it's right there, "reasonable villain enjoyers" but who the fuck is that, it's the good villain fan/bad villain fan thing all over again, am i a reasonable villain enjoyer, well i don't feel reasonable any more i feel positively insane

and it's even more frustrating than the "liking villains is wrong and bad" people because this one comes with a superiority complex and obscure and ever-changing standards but also I agree because people can be really frustrating when they file off all the hard edges and it can make a character very boring but also what do you mean by woobifying op, what the fuck do you mean here, and what do all the people reblogging mean, because i damn well bet some of them are the "let villains be villains why does every villain have to have a tragic backstory smdh" people and I'm so tired of playing villain fan respectability politics--

anyway this post. is going to be the last thing I read before I snap.

#like i know the people i see reblogging it are probably...not thinking about it this much #and are people i generally agree with about how people flanderize characters and erase all the interesting things about them #in favor of making them 'soft' #but. BUT. #anyway i feel positively unhinged now time to go do something else other than scroll through my dash #important text posts #fuck the villain police #lise's aggressively bitchy opinions about irrelevant and unimportant matters

Hey, friends. Wanna hear something funny?

I got into a car accident today.

But I was very lucky.

A truck went out of control, slid sideways down the road towards me and hit the driver's side with its rear end, pushing my car against a wall for a moment, then spun around again and got stuck, fully blocking the road.

I'm completely fine.

Only a piece of shattered glass cut my finger. Except for that, your humble artist is unharmed.

This doesn't feel real

What a crazy day

#text post #please feel free to scroll past #I'm ruining the positivity of my page :( #I don't know why I'm sharing this #..or maybe I do #it's the aftermath of living through an experience perceived as near-death. oversharing paired with detachment. haha. #today I've gotten more support from everyone else than I've gotten from my parents in the last 10 years #and I'm still young. those 10 years aren't of adulthood. #trauma dump? sorry. #I didn't plan to turn this art account into a personal blog but here I am. writing THIS #this is unreal. insane. #however! there's a plus! this was my first ever car accident and it wasn't my fault at all! ha!

I am an insane attention whore. I dislike tumblr's reblog system cause sometimes your post is at the bottom of a reblog chain.

I hate that shit. I want my shit to be on top to bother OP or at least people see my shit over others 😡💢💢💢😡.

Anyone else feel this way?

#tbh it's really funny cause this is one of things that actually bothered me when I joined the site #Maybe not ever since I joined but early on #It's so funny cause I'm basically getting mad at one of the site's defining features #It's like getting mad at instagram for making their images so big #Anyhow ever scroll through a post and get this weird frustrated feeling when people are being very verbose with their reblogs and you ... #... have to scroll down just to get it over with or make your own post? Well I feel that way sometimes. This isn't me being mean and ... #... invalidating those type of posts it's just that it feels like I'm going through a growing wall of text. And I'm a selfish and ... #... narcissistic person who wants to ignore all that and post what I want to post because I'm evil 😈😈😈 #This is me being max petty 😎

Psychic: *reads my mind*

My mind: Ralof: Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush. Same as us, and that thief over there. Lokir: Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could have stolen that horse and been halfway to Hammerfell! You there. You and me - we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants. Ralof: We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief. Imperial Soldier: Shut up back there! Lokir: And what's wrong with him, huh? Ralof: Watch your tongue! You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King! Lokir: Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they captured you… oh gods, where are they taking us?! Ralof: I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits. Lokir: No. This can't be happening. This isn't happening! Ralof: Hey. What village are you from, horse thief? Lokir: Why do you care? Ralof: A Nord's last thoughts… should be of home. Lokir: …Rorikstead. I'm… I'm from Rorikstead. Imperial Soldier: General Tullius, sir! The headsman is waiting! General Tullius: Good. Let's get this over with. Lokir: Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me! Ralof: Look at him. General Tullius, the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this. This is Helgen. I used to be sweet on a girl from here. Wonder if Vilod is still making that mead with juniper berries mixed in. Funny. When I was a boy, Imperial walls and towers used to make me feel so safe. Haming: Who are they, daddy? Where are they going? Torolf: You need to go inside, little cub. Haming: Why? I wanna watch the soldiers. Torolf: Inside the house. Now. Haming: Yes, papa. Imperial Soldier: Whoa! Lokir: Why are we stopping? Ralof: Why do you think? End of the line. Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us. Lokir: No, wait! We're not rebels! Ralof: Face your death with some courage, thief. Lokir: You've got to tell them! We weren't with you! This is a mistake! Imperial Captain: Step towards the block when we call your name! One at a time! Ralof: Empire loves their damn lists. Hadvar: Ulfric Stormcloak, Jarl of Windhelm. Ralof: It has been an honor, Jarl Ulfric. Hadvar: Ralof of Riverwood. Lokir of Rorikstead. Lokir: No! I'm not a rebel! You can't do this! Imperial Captain: Halt! Lokir: You're not gonna kill me! Imperial Captain: Archers! Lokir: Argh… Imperial Captain: Anyone else feel like running? Hadvar: Wait. You there. Step forward. Who are you?

Is it just me or is there a trend of more and more "poorly written" fics?

I don't mean "poorly written" as in the story being bad or not engaging, I just mean that it'd get a bad grade in school because it doesn't have correct capitalization/punctuation/formatting/ect.

But fanfiction is NOT written for a grade, so authors can write however they want. Just, can anyone tell me if they think fanfiction getting more casual is a trend that's going to keep increasing?

I'm not against reading fic like this it's just that I find it very very distracting and tiring to try and read, but I don't want to miss out on good fics because I grew up with some elitist idea of what writing should look like or something.

#it's just stuff like #fics with no capitalization for example #or no paragraph breaks between paragraphs so it's just a huge bunch of text #Or not starting a new line when a new person starts talking #or missing punctuation and you're just supposed to intuit sentence flow ig #I'm seeing these all the time so there must be an audience #but just like #is this just the new writing style of young people and it'll be sticking around? #because I don't wanna miss out on good fics because I'm not used to the style #But at the same time- to my 32yo brain- reading a sentence of a written work with no capitalization or punctuation just reads like #the author doesn't understand the difference between texting and storytelling #which is jerky i know #But if it's like- the new style to tell stories through a more 'text message' casual style of writing #I need to get used to it and work on not scrolling passed automatically or immediately feeling dismissive towards it #if that makes sense #batfam #batman #andreil #aftg #those are the fandoms I've been in lately #And this is not directed at any specific fic or any fics specifically #fanfiction #fandom

this video will show a little more how the iron gall ink changes from a nearly sky blue to something much darker

#my art #my ninja tools and scrolls #iron gall ink #video #my jutsu #medieval folks used to use iron gall ink...the thing is that its very acidic so theres like. medieval texts? where all the words have eaten #through the parchment they were written on #so you have holes in the paper in the perfect shape of letters #and its still somewhat readable its just deeply weird #the stuff im using in this video is diamine blue black #though ive experimented with rohrer & klinger too #i like it and it has the same darkening capabilities as diamine but #its not NEARLY as waterproof...it comes up immediately when i try watercoloring over it #meanwhile diamine is waterproof and also unaffected by copic markers apparently which is pretty sexy

man the bg3 discourse is WILD on twitter, where do you guys find the energy

#ari.txt #text #refusing to use the name that billionaire rat gave it #but also i'm seeing people beefing over EVERYTHING #and also an opinion and the exact opposite of that same opinion two seconds later #in an infinite loop #it's all in extreme especially about the characters #tiring just to scroll through

For the first time in a long while, I got to go to a white elephant gift exchange this December! We had a low price ceiling and my practically wins out over any practical joke sensibilities every time, so on the designated shopping day I left my local overstock store with a nice chopstick set, some fancy (not at all mess-free) popcorn, and a dream.

When I was growing up, my mom was an intrepid homeschooling parent who loved event planning, valued cultural exploration, and had married into a Japanese family. Multiple times - sometimes in the setting of a multicultural fair, at least once as a kind of class party (with celebratory takeout at the end) - she faced teaching large groups of children how to use chopsticks quickly and with as little cost and cleanup as possible.

Her answer was popcorn! It's edible, so you get the full motion down, and lightweight but large enough for less coordinated sticks to pinch. It has tons of nubbins to grab and widely varied shapes to experiment with. Specifically, we used air-popped kernels, without oil or toppings, so when it gets overzealously crushed or bounces away and gets missed by a broom, it's basically biodegradable styrofoam.

What I'm saying is, this is my mom's fault. Other than the choice to draw so many hands in one afternoon on the same day as the party, while also baking a snack. That's all me. This primer was delivered in the format of a tiny booklet (if you look up an "eight page zine" that's also a method I learned from my mom, to turn single-sided misprints into notepads), with fewer jokes and tips than I'd have liked because I simply did not have time to transcribe a hashi rest fold or hairstyle. But reformatted (for Mastodon) it looks fairly respectable.

Lengthy image descriptions and full poster format under the cut.

[ID: A title page reads "How to Use Chopsticks" in all caps. The words "without too much mess" are between two straight, orange lines, which start with round points at the left, evoking chopsticks, and end in flared shapes of a silhouetted splash on the right. Below the lower line are the words "by CJ Gladback." All the text is in black, the background is white but appears light orange due to a repeating geometric watermark pattern of CJ's logo in orange overlaid on the whole image; her handle on most sites is included once on each of the following spreads: @cjgladback​

Next is the first spread of four illustrations with their instructions. On the left half of page are two line drawings of a right hand holding one and then two chopsticks, with the text, "The first stick rests on the side of your ring finger's nail and the flesh between your thumb and index finger. Your middle finger's pad holds it securely while it can slide against your thumb as your hand changes posture in use. The second stick is held between the knuckle of your thumb and the middle section of your index finger. This is the one you move to change angles; it may touch but doesn't really rest on the middle finger's tip." In orange, two arrows indicate the rest points for the first stick while small hashes emanate from the points pressed on the middle and ring fingertips and under the thumb's joint holding the top stick. On the right upper quadrant of the page is the text "Hold them close to parallel to scoop." A hand holds two sticks poked into a bowl of rice between the viewer and the palm; a series of parallel orange lines emphasize the space between the sticks. The remaining quadrant's text reads, "Press with your index finger to pinch firmly." This hand is holding an indistinct rounded shape in its chopsticks, with an orange arrow indicating the rotation of the index finger's tip to press the top stick's point toward the bottom's.

Next is the final spread of the pamphlet. The upper right text reads, "Practice with something medium sized and low mess like (air-popped) popcorn." A single piece of popcorn is held in disembodied chopsticks above a full popcorn bowl, with several kernels fallen to the surface below it. Text below reads, "Pick up your dishes to bring close to your mouth to scoop the harder to grab foods." An implied tilted bowl of food (fried rice or porridge with diced pieces) protrudes off the page, covering only the lower left corner. Close-up chopsticks have their points buried in the food and their lines fade out toward the right. The final black text, underlined by two orange chopstick shapes, reads, "but most of all, do what feels comfortable and eat well!" In orange in the lower right corner, the parenthetical "(and maybe knit a scarf)" is followed by a small orange drawing of a steaming bowl of noodles and sliced egg with a noodle line trailing toward two upward angled sticks with loopy hashes indicating knit fabric hanging from them.

The final image is the full booklet in its web format, with the three previous images from this post stacked vertically. Some orange lines have been added between what were pages in the print booklet, to aid reading flow. /end ID]
