#and that’s barely hyperbole

Do you take commissions? If so, do you have a commission sheet? I’m sorry if this is an annoying ask I just really love your work lol

not annoying at all! i really really appreciate this a lot, thank you!

i have done commissions in the past on other platforms, but for now i am not taking them here. i'm not saying that i never will, because sometimes life is.. you know. Like That™️. but for now i'm steering clear of it to try and keep my passion up! 👍

#i also frankly think- and i don't say this to be rude- but i think that most folks in fandom would think my work is overpriced #because i charge somewhat more professional rates. still not a living wage. still not what you could get as a non-freelancer #(deleted a lot of rambling about prices here but if anyone does want to hear it i can go into it sometime) #kirby characters are generally far more simplistic so it would be a whole different pricing bracket #but i think expectations in fandom seem different to an original content community where people are doing this for a living #the one person i've commissioned in fandom i was so shocked at the rate i paid like... 500% what they asked me. #(that is not hyperbole. i 'tipped' 400% and it still felt like the bare minimum. you *must* tip undercharging artists.) #anyway. i have a lot of thoughts about monetising my art but at the moment this is still a no. i'm sorry! #i do really genuinely appreciate it though! if i ever open them i'll be sure to post here about it! #i'd also like to do art trades a little more regularly in the future (not rn) ; so there's that too? but we'll see. again i'll post about i #starflungs personal tag

When one of your favorite indigenous creators for some reason signs an open letter applauding and urging yet more genocidal measures against Palestinians:

#ofmd #our flag means death #taika waititi #taika waititi israel #free palestine #free gaza #israel palestine conflict #palestine #I'm barely be hyperbolic here

god I forgot how much staring at a screen for all my waking hours fucks me up and makes me miserable

#my eyes hurt so bad and my brain can barely form words #and I'm terrified to face my teacher tomorrow after she. did what she did two weeks ago #I'm safe please don't worry but #oh boy #there's a reason I have PRE BOOKED THERAPY for tomorrow after school #that's how fucking scared I am #and #the workload #is literally impossible to manage or complete as a disabled autistic person #not a hyperbole I have tried I have put every bit of energy I possibly have #including energy for. getting ready for bed or talking to my loved ones or masking or just going on a WALK #into homework. and it's still an impossible amount of work that I am Never able to complete by the deadline #hate being this way #hate teacherfs who traumatise me for being this way #has happened my whole fucking life and I STILL feel like a little kid every time #vent tw #listen to my gibberish boy #vent #this sucks. sorry you had to read this

gotta say it is a wild ride being aroace and having parents that don't love each other. You're just vibing, you see a husband see his wife and kiss her in greeting, think to yourself "??? that was unprompted why'd they do that", and then your parents tell you they're breaking up and you realize oh actually maybe couples actually do kiss and that's not just a movie trope

#i'm barely even exaggerating #whole ass thought kissing was just like an obligation #like ''when ur a couple you kiss to make it official. and then u do it gaain at the wedding'' #didn't even really think you did it outside of that #ig the nature of not seeing romantic love and not experiencing it yourself means most of your perception of how it works is from media #i always thought it was just insanely exaggerated #i had that same realization as jaidenanimations #where i was just listening to pop music and had a whole ''wait this is. people actually feel like this? it's not just hyperbole????'' moment #still weird to me #existenceunrelateds #aroace

if you would have told me that this was going to be the result of making a madcom self insert I would have called you a liar to your face. But here we are. (joke suggestive copypasta)

hr guy was screaming crying throwing up when I told him I wouldn’t be at the evening part of the xmas social because the date changed and I have a life outside of work and now he sends round the details for the unavoidable lunch part and despite me giving him my dietary requirements well in advance on his request there is simply nothing I can eat. like even ditching the vegetarianism I am allergic to everything on this menu.

#wwolf.txt #also like man I don’t drink and I hate people and I have a fatigue disorder. spending a Tuesday night watching my horrifically drunk #colleagues scream-singing to bandoke makes me want to die and that’s only barely hyperbole. #like. this guy really grinds my gears because he’s so AGGRESSIVELY nice it circles right back around into being super counterproductive and #irritating. #like when I started I saw pronouns were optional on our HR profiles- so I didn’t include mine because I didn’t know if other people would #and I didn’t want to put myself at work by being the only one to do it. I didn’t know the vibe. DAY ONE he’s like ‘it’s optional but 🔫 PUT #IN YOUR PRONOUNS WE ARE TRANS INCLUSIVE 🔫’ like you actually have a trans employee and you are speaking to him and you are also directly #stressing him out by doing this :) #and then recently he was coming to my office and was like ‘let me bring you something!’ and I’m sitting here like. one I am uncomfy with you #spending money on me and two. I have Severe allergic reactions and I don’t know or trust you. and three I brought lunch today because I’m #broke. so I’m really fine. and me being like ‘thank you for the offer but I’m okay!’ just led to back and forth and back and forth and #‘[insert coworker name here] never refuses my offers’ like… #ugh. he just drives me up to wall. #oh and don’t call him HR because Humans aren’t a ‘resource’ he’s in ‘people’ #🙄🙄🙄

my parents & the church: You have to have iron self control. Remain celibate! Do not give in to sexual temptation! Keep even your thoughts pure!

me, an asexual: ... okay?

my parents & the church: Wait, what?

me: I'm happy being single too.

my parents & the church:

me: Yeah I'm just gonna live alone, make art, do some good honest ranch work, take care of my pets, and maybe travel some.

my parents & the church: gasp—YOU CAN'T REMAIN UNWED!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION FOREVER!!! ADMIT IT! YOU'VE ALREADY FALLEN!!!

me: Actually I—

my parents & the church: SEXUAL DEVIANT!! SULLIED WENCH! THE WORST PERVERT SINNER OF ALL TIME!!!

me: but... oh never mind. By the way I'm gender queer. Non-binary.

my parents & the church: we knew it. Being queer means nothing except having TONS of weird sex! ALL THE TIME! We knew you were LOST! WE KNEW!!!!!!!!!!!

me (stage whisper): Should I tell them? Nah. I'm not gonna tell them.

I miss my boyfriend so bad it's not even funny anymore. He told me the other night that I look like I would make a wet slapping noise if I fell on the ground

you don't even know how much strength it takes not to post seven emo bullshit vent posts in a row every time I open this site

can you gif jd protecting dom from gunther last night?

My sibling in Satan, I'm actually kind of offended that you assumed I wasn't already doing that.

Am I not ½ of the JDom Council? Have I not fed you well these past months? My feelings, they're wounded.

having a day when texture is a big part of my sensory overload and the feeling paper is too much and too weird that i can feel it in my body is unfortunate when there are 700 pieces of mail for me to sort through

#that is barely a hyperbole btw that just my job #i cant do this

i madw this blog. initially to get better at drawing because i didnt really stgart drawing at all really before dndads so i really needed that push to learn and get better, yknow? but oh my god my work schedule is making that so close to impossible except at a glacial pace so instead im going to carry the weight of being one of the two lincoln stans alive and im just going to post lincoln facts every five minutes. sorry

#talking tag #i still want to get better at art i still want to keep practicing im drawing a big assthing right now #but six day work week ten hour shifts and still barely making what i need for rent........... #in 30 years when i figure out how to draw a face THEN you'll realize #saying i didnt draw at all before dndads is hyperbole but i definitely didnt post anything ever and it was just doodling and shit #BUT HEY! FREDDIE WONG RETWEETED ME AT ONE POINT .THATS MY JESUS MOMENT

Remember folks: If you try to discredit or erase Douxie's Romani heritage, I will fling you into the fucking sun.

#tales of arcadia #toawizards #hisirdoux casperan #being very hyperbole here but it's the idea that counts #and that is it's really shitty thing to do this as Romani people barely get any representation #Even if there wasn't enough time to address the information in the show #it's still was intended to be a part of Douxie's character #and we shouldn't forget that #this post wasn't really made in response to something #more that I've seen this happen more than once #which y'know isn't very plesant to know but it is what it is #vanilla rambles

So I’ve never read or watched Banana Fish nor do I ever have any intention of reading/watching it

But I just found out how it ends and I’m FURIOUS

#i watched someone’s reaction to it #but he stopped at episode 12 #so i read the wiki page #bc i was curious about how it ended #and let me tell you #i am absolutely feral #i barely know these characters #but fuck the person who wrote this #and ok that’s mostly hyperbole #but still #ash had the most tragic backstory #i have ever had the displeasure of learning #and he fucking DIES at the end? #whose bright idea #was to kill off a protag #after also giving him the saddest backstory #if you’re gonna torture a character that much #At Least give them a happy ending

being right about everything

my entire family: Of course we know what's going on! Better than you do, you young leftist fool!

me: Oh? Where do you get your news?

my entire family: What? We don't waste time watching news. That's all lies anyway.

me: I've caught you watching the evening news. Gramps in particular likes to do his own commentary every time they report a crime committed by a black man.

my entire family: That doesn't count.

me: So what are your opinions on this pressing political issue?

my entire family: Our opinion is that you're a stupid and ignorant deranged child for even worrying about that. It's definitely not a real problem because we've never heard of it.

me: Because you're insulated from most economic and political issues by wealth and race and you don't... pay attention to news.

my entire family: Never! But we know. We know exactly what's going on. MUCH better than youuuuu do.

me: Perhaps if I presented you with some new information—?

my entire family: AAAAH No! Shut up shut up shut uuuuup. We hate talking politics! Besides, we already have the only correct opinions about every topic known to man.

me: And where did you get those?

my entire family: *spluttering—turning bright red* Our opinions are ENTIRELY our own!

me: Oh because it sounded like you were quoting [this exact] right wing radio show or podcast verbatim.

my entire family: Honestly we barely listen to them.

my mom specifically: I've actually never listened to tr*mp speak. He's so annoying.

me: Well I did. For years, and every minute of it was the purest misery but here, let me tell you about the things he said and did—

my entire family: All you heard was the liar leftist news telling you what he said.

me: I. personally. watched. MOST. of. his. entire. speeches. and. other. countless. stupid. media. appearances. to form my own opinion based on the man's own words and actions.

my entire family: why would you do that? See, that's insane person behavior. Jeeze stop caring so much.

me: YOU voted for him twice. And you'd do it again!

my entire family: You bet your bottom dollar

#barely hyperbole #most of this is actual quotes #I kid you not #save me from my family #gosh darn conservatives #ignorance #us politics #let the sweet release of true madness take me

Anyway had an absolutely horrifying experience last night and yes it was genuinely traumatizing and tbh I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep in my room without fear again and my anxiety is through the roof and I've been SO productive at work today trying to distract mysel and not cry. But like. I will not go into detail, it will suffice to say it involved bugs and specifically, those nasty house centipedes, which I'm more afraid of than anything in the world, even spiders

#whatever you're thinking i promise you the reality is probably worse #franposting #bugs cw #genuinely i need to bleach my whole body and burn down the house and never sleep ever again #NOTHING IS SAFE #my SANCTUARY SAFE SPACE (small private barely 100 ft room) #has been ruined. genuinely #genuinely afraid to be in there rn #its SO STUPID bc its like #a bug. cant hurt me. BUT I HAVE A PHOBIA #tbh. mice would be better. a rat. a snake. #idgaf bugs are the fuckin worst #idk how y'all who live in places where roaches are common survive #i have seen one (1) roach in my whole life and it wasnt even in a house and i live in fear of them #tbh. tbh. tbh. I'm genuinely trying not to cry bc the work day is almost over and im afraid to go home #ik that sounds hyperbolic but pls believe me for once i am being dead serious i am so genuinely anxious #like rating my fears. theyre all intangible existential things+ bugs with too many legs + claustrophobia #THOSE MF CENTIPDES THO #why Do they EXIST
