It truly is god awful to have a new friend message you and ask how much you charge to shoot an event, like a baby shower, and then have to gently tell her you're not that kind of photographer.

#personal #i hate hate hate when people see that i have never shot an event before ever #aside from sports #and then ask me to shoot a baby shower #do you see a single photo on my page/profile that resembles that type of work?? #just because im a photographer people assume id shoot anything #no! #i have a comfy little niche and i want to stay there thank you #you couldnt pay me enough money to shoot a wedding #i should have just given her an outrageous number to see if she would bite #but i know her and her husband dont make bank so unlikely #tbf i have shot ONE baby shower before but it was my idea and for a close friend at the time #but also none of those photos exist on my photography page or anywhere attached to my name #because it was like 8 or 9 years ago

Completed the Shenkuu Stamp collection some time ago, so it was only fair to draw my girl Mirsha

#neopets #neotag #neoart #vin doods #gnorbu #drawing this was actually really fun in a way that when i was looking for references i didn't know she was such a lesbian icon #not surprised but hey lets cheer for the lesbian alpaca! #I'm not as happy with the colors as I thought #I'm a bit rusty in just really warm colors without it looking burnt for some reason HJSD #but looking at pictures of AC teams have made me really fall into my old virtupets fix #i love everyone so much on that team and not really that many ppl play for it #i still remember winning a long long time ago and was completely blown away as it was basically just 5 ppl in a forum going mad #i just really love the designs of most of the players on all groups?? #i don't even like playing in the AC that much i just love the characters LMFAOO #i think i still remember I drew fanart of Sela and the gelert from the darigan team when i was like 8-9 and submitting in onto deviantart #and getting hate comments probably like 8 years later because i missed his wings or i made them too small or sth #that was hilarious thinking about it now but it did made me hate the darigan team for that year SDHFKSD #ok this is too long it always ends up wit me just rambling #I love my boy XL Striker 3.8 and Sela #ok nobodys reading uhhhh #send me an ask with the weirdest emoji out of context if you've read this far tbh nobody cares by this point HJSKSFD #idk if ill draw someone for the AC team everytime i complete a stamp collection but if i'm feeling like it maybe #or if they're requested tecnically #thats it bye

Various images of things

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. PIBBINS.... cheering clapping hooting hollering glorious applause everytime I see a pigeon in public #2. Birthday card that I drew for someone. .. kittys... #3. 2023's annual haul of tiny white pumpkins.. i get at least one white pumpkin every year around fall when they have pumpkins in stores #because I just love the color and texture ... bright white and smooth and cold and round.. kind of like a volleyball or something #4. A brief adventure into watching big brother (only earlier seasons of course as I hate all reality shows post like 2013 or something when #they became overly focused on social media and overproduced memeable phrases more.. like even though ALL reality shows have always #been extremely fake and annoying and mindless it's like..... newer stuff seems A Different Kind Of Fake or something) since whenever #I'm sick sometimes I find weird mindless things like that to watch (that one time I had bronchitis I watched all of Flavor of Love in my #half awake illness stupor and now everytime I heat up canned minestrone soup (mostly all I ate that week) I think of flavor flav since #thats just a weird brain connection I have now lol) ANYWAY.. I was sick and watched like 2 seasons of this and then thought it was too #uninteresting and obnoxious to continue (more like 1 and a half since I skipped the rest of one once only boring people were left) BUT this #one guy had a very mischevious looking face and he also said a few things (like the above captioned speech) that sounded like dialogue #some fantasy character would say.. so I took a screencap of him and edited him into a mischevious wizard i guess.?? idk I was sick lol #~your little friend has a poisoned tongue~ is just a very unexpectedly serious sounding wording for some random normal #frat dude looking guy to say while casually chatting on a reality tv show in like 2008 or whenever that was filmed lol #5. FLUFFY CLOVERS!! I'd never seen them be furry and soft before?? inchresting.. #6. Noodle sitting in bed with the cat figurines looming above him... the council of kittys... #7. McDonald's full breakfast platter + asparagus + strawberries & cream (also of course this is old and I am now boycotting mcdonalds etc) #i try to group the images somewhat consistently like.. winter stuff with winter stuff or summer stuff with summer stuff #but I have so many random pictrues floating around on my computer that I never post that sometimes some are not organized or just #thrown into a set because there's nowhere else for them. Like the pigeon picture is from like 3 years ago for example lol #8 & 9 - I think I've posted these before but I just find them very interesting looking flowers. whenever they happen to be blooming #I'll pick up a few when I'm out on walks or etc. ... poof ball looking things #photo diary

you know the thing that’s actually really great about polls on tumblr is that it’s bringing back a lot of the engagement that has been missing in the last few years. people are reblogging these posts, sharing the content they’re interested in and adding their commentary in the tags. there’s not as huge of a discrepancy between the number of reblogs and likes. idk about the rest of you but i’ve seen a lot more of this since polls were introduced compared to even a month ago and i hope this continues even on posts that aren’t polls.

#it’s wild because like 8 or 9 years ago the number of reblogs on a post would often surpass likes #then the rise of the algorithm in social media apps started bleeding into tumblr and all people would ever do is like a post #but that’s not how tumblr works and it’s like screaming into a void when you tell people otherwise #never forget how people straight up would be offended when you tell them they should be reblogging posts #but now we’re going back to how tumblr is meant to be used with reblogs and comments in tags and i’m really happy about it #sometimes i think things and post them #tumblr #polls

Very unfortunate that I am a very slow drawer because I am also very impatient. Why must it take 1 million years for my drawings to manifest

#Adding this in retrospect: I'm so sorry. There's so much tags under here. But I think it's interesting stuff so #Doesn't help that rn I'm trying to do a lineup of my 4 main ocs that I hope to make a comic with someday... #I have done a lineup of them in the past (that I haven't shared publicly) as very tiny + basic but bc of that. Not a lot of features. #So I'm trying to do a proper lineup now. This will be my first proper full body drawings of them :3 #I will probably show it off when I'm all done because I've been drawing this so far for 8/9 days. And I'm not even half-way done #BUT YEAH. AUGH. I'M DYING OUT HERE. #I'll probably post it on my art blog which is gonna be funny bc I haven't drawn a lot the past 2 years ESPECIALLY last year #BUT in the past year I have still been Trying a lot. And Learning a lot. #And so while I only posted 1 drawing in 2023 on there. 6 months ago. That was a HUGE leap from my previous drawings #Both in regards to skill and developing my style #And I feel like this drawing. From there. Is ANOTHER huge leap in both of those things. And I'm so excited #Iron text

also. realized last night

#i converted to islam on november 2nd so many yrs ago now #there goes another year of being muslim alhamdulilah #... its been so many... like.. 8 1/2 .. 9? somewhere around there #its so odd to me to even call myself a revert by this point. im just muslim 🤷‍♀️ and frankly basically the same apart from some minor #things from other balkan muslims 🤷‍♀️ #ive always held a bit of a dif. relation too tho from other reverts ive seen even from the beggining #hmm. its certainly been a journey for sure which im very thankful for. ive changed a lot ive grown a lot etc #but at times i do remember what it was like at first. not even bc it was islam in particular but because #feeling god in your heart truly for the first time after years of studying theology is...... #something... #very very similar to doing psychadelics for the first time #.... people get confused at times why i never waiver on islam even tho i will critique things and dissect things and this and that and even #tho ultimately i believe in the truth of all religions bc there is only one god. different paths to same goal #but this one will forever have my heart

Ding dong it's mental distress time

#Soon I'll make a sideblog where I can rant and shit and keep this one for music related stuff so I'll stop being so annoying on main #But for now #I feel so shitty lol kinda saw it coming kinda did not #Like yes I'm overworked cause I have been studying pretty much all day everyday since Monday and I also have studied a lot these past few #weeks #But at the same time I've been studying less than I usually would #Like I took two weekends off for Christmas and new year's eve #And I've never allowed myself to relax this much around this time because I always have exams in January #So basically I guess allowing yourself to spend time with your love ones for like four days isn't that crazy but I still feel like I've bee #Been very self-indulgent #And also the fact that I'm like almost getting enough sleep #Not studying past 8 or 9 pm #And allowing myself around 40 minutes of exercise a day makes me feel like I'm not doing enough #Like I don't feel like I'm studying enough unless my life is becoming as unhealthy as it could be lol like either I'm doing nothing but #study either something feels off #So yeah I'm very tired but like #Not derealisation kinda tired you know so I don't feel like I'm suffering enough to complain or to be allowed to expect a passing a grade #Which is fucked I know #Like I'm almost nostalgic from two years ago when I was studying all day during winter break and emptying bottles of rum in my room #At night to help me fall asleep #After studying real late #Anyway that's not how I imagined the #College life #also this way of studying led me to burnout the next semester #like I passed my finals but it was the lowest point for my mental health #and then i could not study for a whole semester and I failed #So like I know I shouldn't study more because I can't take it and it wouldnt work in the long run but I still feel like a complete failure #But nvm sorry goodbye

Me, trying to remember to use CBT: Would *you* be mad at someone for doing xyz? No? Then they probably arent either!

#thinking of the time I almost got into a car accident #someone was doing 35 on a 50 mph main road #and I wanted to see if I could pass because there was a gap about 8 or 9 semi trucks infront of them #in the second it took me to look in the rear mirror #they stopped on a dime #no reason #and this is a dry and clear as fuck day in the spring #so there is no weather #so I pulled into the shoulder to avoid hitting them #and the person behind me honked #and this was a few years ago #and i'm still sitting here like 'were they mad at me?' #answer: probably not #they were probably mad at the guy who stopped on a fucking state highway

these ocs are really developed for ocs who don’t have names KJFLDSJHKDL

my witch woman and her friend from work~ she doesnt have a lot of friends ‘cause she has trouble expressing her emotions but these two ended up in a cubicle together and her coworker doesn’t mind talking about different species of frogs with her so they’re pals

#art #ocs #oc art #traditional art #watercolour #i desperately need to name these guys. witch woman. coworker. the cat man. all NAMELESS #because im a cruel cruel oc creator.....developing everything but leaving them all unnamed hjkfdldfhKSDLS #also unrelated but i recently had to get some new india ink cause my old bottle finally gave out #(it was nearly 8 years old and only had a few mls left so one day i opened it and it was completely separated and dried out RIP) #and like so i used to use speedball india ink all the time but then switched to kuretake because the speedball bottle is evil #(it WILL mysteriously splatter ink everywhere while also drying the cap to the body) #and like i think those inks are basically super comparable like straight up almost the same #(its india ink so i mean. theres not much to mess up there BUT i have had some really shitty india inks before!!) #(hated the demco stuff cause it didn't flow well on dip pens (too slippery?) and both demco and higgins was too gray) #(i need my india ink to be BLACK like WHY would i want dark gray india ink when i can get the same dark gray from markers) #(i use dip pens and india ink BECAUSE i want the waterproof darkness only carbon water and shellac can provide hejfdkslflhjfkdls) #but now that my kuretake ran out and buying it rn would be super hard (i was very lucky and was able to get it for like 9 bucks years ago) #(but now i'd have to pay like thrice the price and wait super long orz) so i went back to speedball despite their wretched bottles #and now that im using it again after so long using kuretake i am noticing some interesting subtle differences #like i said theyre both just as good. speedballs bottle sucks. kuretake is a bit thick sometimes. pros and cons lol #but interestingly i forgot about how speedball dries so like. convex? like they both dry shiny (thats da shellac baby!!!!) but kuretake goes #like pretty flat? while speedball feels more raised and ever so slightly more shiny? ive also noticed the watercolor like slides off it #maybe speedball has way more shellac? its not bad its actually kinda nice. bottle still sucks tho. hopefuly i can transfer it to another LOL #anyway this has been. impromptu ink reviews with your host bmpmp3 thank u and goodnight

Trying not to resent my roommate/coworker for things that are not in faer control but damn if the things aren’t making my life harder

#I’ve already done this rant in tags before scroll back if you’re curious it was like two weeks ago #almost nothing has changed except fae’s been late to work ever single day for the past two weeks #including today. i knocked on faer door at 8:55 to make sure we could leave at nine. not awake. #i leave at 9 and work for an hour mostly doing cleaning in the lab because it takes two people to do most other things #i come back at ten to check up bc I’m like. did you fall into the toilet. #knock on the door again 10:05. wake faer up AGAIN #i say ‘we have to go collect samples and I’m leaving at 10:30 with or without you’ #because I’m a little pissed at this point #and at 10:15 the fire alarm goes off (no fire it’s been broken) #so I go sit in my car instead of in the lobby. because it’s loud. #at the Stroke of 10:30 the door to the building opens and put comes roommate. #carrying a cat kennel. with a cat in it. to go get samples. #we go get samples. the cat yells the whole time. it’s annoying and I turn the music up because at least that’s noise I can control. #(we were collecting crabs and I caught all of them because fae didn’t want to touch the seaweed) #roommate turns the radio off because it’s too loud so we just sit in silence and cat yowling. #get back at noon and that’s all the work for today apparently so we go home. fae gets back in bed Immediately #and I do not hear from faer until 9:45 pm. #fae had a zoom meeting at 3 that’s already been rescheduled like twice #and has another one tomorrow that is somehow exactly at high tide. which means I have to get the samples myself. in a canoe. #so like. i think it’s not unreasonable of me to want a 21 year old coworker and roommate to also help with being a functional adult #and not have to have me drag faer along like a middle schooler #also I do all the cooking and fae has the AUDACITY to complain #in summary #I’m pissed but I’m not gonna say anything because I’m afraid that fae’d kill faerself #so! having a great summer so far #shush up jj #personal #mine

You ever just hear a song from ages ago and go "oh, this is inscribed much deeper into my psyche than I thought."

#nirvana by mucc #i saw there was a bonus episode of inu x boku ss that i had never seen on a streaming site i use #and was like “i can't remember the anime all that much but it was cute enough and i just need a lil something while i drink my tea” #and then the opening kicked in #and it hit so god damn hard that i started trying to figure out what recent animes it must have been recycled into #because it felt So Fresh in my brain that I MUST have heard it recently #but nah #then proceeded to watch the episode #and i basically remembered character faces AS they appeared #like i knew the main 2 without needing to see them #but could not have described a single other cast member until they appeared and I went oh yeah that guy was here #and no way in hell do i know anyones names #i watched this anime maybe 2 times 8 to 9 years ago so that makes sense #but then the music #i could still half sing along and even where i didn't know the works i knew where the key change would kick in and when the beat would drop #it was just ingrained #which is wild cause its only a 12 episode series that I again stress I cannot remember the plot of

sleepy mr baby + other random misc images

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. Interesting formations in the bottom of a cocoa powder container #2. more pressed four leaf clovers for the year. found all in one day #3. The picture is so blurry it's hard to tell but it's a DOUBLE clover! I've found multiple 6 leaf clovers before but usuall #y they're connected much higher up where the leaves are and sort of look like one clover. Where this one was like... connected lower down a #the stem and so it literally just looks like two 3 leaf clovers merged together. #4. Love his silly sleepy stretch bapy face #5. An interesting new matching card game thing that I tried playing a while ago. Another into my ever growing giant collection of #games that I rarely have the chance to actually play with people lol.. Current favorites are Bethump'd With Words. Tapple. Lowdown-Go. #classic Boggle and Scrabble and such. This one I think is just called 'SET' ? #For any fellow ... boardgame lovers?? theyre not really boardgames.. But when I say 'card game lovers' then it sounds more like #I'm referring to people who like to play Cards - like rummy or king's corners or jacks up or etc. And I dont mean playing cards type #games. But then if i just say 'Game lovers' then that sounds like video games... hrmm... terminology.. ANYWAY #6. PIGEONS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.. spotted..!! clapping cheering sobbing at their beauty so on and so forth #7. back at it again..I know all of these images look the same because I get the same exact order every single time I go to zero dregrees lo #. but it IS all separate occasions. I allow myself to go one single time a year (pretty expensive like.. $12 for the garlic noodles I think #or even $15. And probably $7 for a drink. so it's a very rare treat). (Garlic noodles with beef. matcha bubble tea. coffee bubble tea. pina #colada smoothie thing (not alcoholic). strawberry cheesecake milkshake.). Funnily looks like I'm just reposting the same image though lol #8. Random picture from that other costume I did a while ago after I had taken the wig off and my hair was sitting funny #Like a pta mom manager side bang sort of look but also with clown makeup lol #9. SKY.. very pale blue and white... perfect.. #photo diary

A list of things I’m frustrated by:

#1. my right skate won’t fucking tighten right it’s being stiff so I can’t skate properly again. they don’t fit right but I can’t do shit now #2. I’m not enjoying ice hockey as much right now bc of that and the people being. not annoying but. I’m disconnected from them #3. feeling disconnected from everything because of the residual barriers I put up but also the ones are just There bc of outside forces. #4. of them the disconnect that comes from not like loud music/crowds/drinking when you’re at uni. #5. the fact that the friends I have most access to I largely don’t like that much bc half are straight and southern and rich and annoying #6. the fact that a different group of friends basically just stopped talking to me and honestly didn’t really want me around that much anywa #7. the fact I don’t care that much about that. any of that. and I’m not Cool with not talking to them anymore but it’s just Happened yknow #8. the fact that’s a significant portion of the queer people I know here. and the others aren’t people I’m anywhere near as close to. #9. the way it’s my third year here and a bunch of people are graduating and opportunities to meet new people went to hell like two years ago #10. i Can meet new people and in fact am even now but everything is so much effort #11. how that’s probably how it’s gonna be the rest of my life bc being an adult sucks. I’ll get Maybe one more shot at meeting a bunch of #people quickly if I do a phd and move but that’s hellish for other reasons and I lose a lot in doing that. but I lose a lot no matter what #12. graduating sucks and so many of my friends are doing it this year. I’m not but next year will suck bc of flatmates and everyone missing #13. feeling on the edge of hockey friends bc they’re fucking hockey players and make dumb fucking jokes. and how I can’t do that #14. anxious isolated gay boy I was never gonna be cool with that and there was never any way I could’ve been on the team #15. the fact I decided not to go for the team partly bc of that and the fact I dont regret that decision. bc I like ice hockey but I couldnt #17. knowing the answers to most of my problems bc I’m at That point where I have the self awareness and maturity to some extent to see #exactly what’s going on and what’s up with it and the right way to go about things. and still feeling the fucking feelings anyway #18. the weird fucking position I occupy both w queerness and the north/south thing weirdly where I’m gay+northern + surrounded by Not #and neither feel like they belong to me. distinctly Other but not in the right way and both sides see that. always a little off #19. being socially aware enough to see exactly where things are awkward or done badly but not knowing in the moment how to make it Not #20. the way the shit The Asshole said abt my anxiety has stuck with me so much and I still think abt it all the time #21. the way he was my fucking first. a lot. and then did That to me and there’s been nobody since and that’s fine but see point 17 #22. the way shit is slow to fade both with Him and current guy (very different things that are fading) even though both are fucking dumb #23. current guy being the fourth and should know bettering and knowing that’s bullshit too and I hate it. gonna start biting #24. not having the means time or opportunity to meet other people instead. and feeling dumb abt wanting to. and abt not doing some stuff #25. the fact this list is long enough that I’m gonna run out of tags and there’s still more but it’s 4am and I’m done #luke.txt #I’ll be fine once I’ve slept on it all. I should do something abt this probably but idk what right now and I should sleep mostly so. night!!
