I’d love to think (or I’m really hoping) that Spyglass/Agent Smith and Victim have a sort of parallel father-son relationship like purple and mango but like the toxicity and manipulation is turned up to the max :p

You know what fuck it I’ll make a comic and post it tmmr watch out ya’ll

#ava #avm #alan becker #ava victim #ava smith #avm victim #ava rocket team #I’m working on the comic just u wait #I have now become obsessed with these two #animation vs minecraft #animator vs animation #ava fanart #avm fanart #like victim still wants revenge on Alan #and is willing to do anything if that means hurting others #just like king mango but like he doesn’t realize who’s he’s hurting the most #avm purple #avm king mango #avm king orange

opened up the scrying workshop, was presented w/ this dragon, and audibly went WOAH irl before rushing to save it + some variants (rust/tangerine/saffron, fire swirl)

#flight rising #didnt change anything besides changing their ice eyes to fire :] #i might be becoming a rust enjoyer....... rustpilling in progress #a lot of the orange range works really well for the secondary btw! lovely baby #edit: CINNAMON BLEND IS SO GORGEOUS ON THIS LOOK!!!

not to be a pretentious art grad student, bc I know most of the art tutorials that circulate the interwebs were made in good faith by self-taught artists, but nothing changed my perspective and use of color the same way reading "not all blues are cool, and not all yellows are warm" (that is, there are cool and warm colors, but every possible hue has a warm and cool variant), which I read in Drawing & Painting Fantasy Landscapes & Cityscapes by Rob Alexander. the book did not actually help me with drawing or painting landscapes or cityscapes, but it was packed full of the best breakdown of art basics that I've ever come across anywhere and still made me a better artist as a result

#being self-taught is tough bc there are a million different art books out there but like #some of them are actually good I promise #I know using online tutorials is easier and cheaper but sometimes an actual published book offers better advice #like it's a stupid pet peeve but I promise if you stop thinking of red-orange-yellow as warm and green-blue-purple as cool #color theory becomes so much easier #there's also a really great book about the science and cultural history of color called #The Secret Language of Color by Eckstut and Eckstut and this book is also super useful #like sure it's not aimed at artists but if you understand how light and color work on a scientific level it makes art easier #oracle of lore

I'm debating... changing some colors on Eldulis. :hear:

#not that i dont like orange but. it doesn't work as well and the blue is SO cohesive tbh... it's handsome. it's becoming. it befits him. #i think the blue would tie things together really well and help me figure him out more #but.... the cost. the price. well whatever.

How do you saturate and brighten your gshade without washing out or oversaturating your sims

#puffer talks #oOoOOOOO #i want to saturate it but i dont want everyone to become orange #i know i can reduce the red #and then the brightness works good for some sims and then turns white sims into lighthouses

i luv doing what i call "passive breakfast" which is rather than having something that i have to eat in one sitting, finding smth that i can just snack on and pick at for the first 3-4 hours of me being awake

#99.txt #becoming an adult means getting excited about shit like this #i really dont get hungry in the morning tho so its nice to not make myself feel sick by trying to eat a whole meal. #but also i dont have to run on empty this way #i realised after moving in with maddi that i really dont eat a lot at all...... #just since im fat ive been convinced my whole life that i must be eating way too much.... #the way my metabolism works is it wants a lot of snacks throughout the day and one main meal #i am somehow losing weight tho. not that i care much its just interesting #i think because im in england now stuff is just overall more healthy.... #its hard to find real sugar soda & even when it is.. the ammt of sugar is less than america it seems like #america will add sugar to the damnedest things #maddi says i have to put it back on so i dont disappear 💀💀 #also yeah with metabolism. everyone thinks fast metabolism is like. the only way to be. and if u dont have that its bad.... #and i really disagree #i think its just apples and oranges. whichever way you work just figure out how to accommodate for it and then its fine

standing on top of a brick wall explaining aloud to nobody in particular that n52 firestorm is a love story

#wtf gay little firestorms #'he's one half to your whole.' 'til death do us part.' the suit becoming orange when they work in harmony instead of red/yellow. cinema!

The thing about Silver naming a chao after its color but just kinda sorta “fancier” is such a me thing. Back when our cats first arrived at our house and they were just kittens (we had two at the time, but now we’re only taking care of one of them), I wanted to name the current one after our language’s word for “amber” because he’s orange… That was before we knew his gender though, and after learning he’s not a girl, my mom got to do the naming instead. Dare I say, my name was still better 😂

For pets it's easy, since they just simply don't care what they're called, haha. But I think Amber is a nice name for any orange cat, it's very fitting! ^-^

I was debating giving Lilac either a name based on a purple flower or a gemstone, but most of them tend to be on the long side, and I wanted something a bit more short and easy. Another contender was Lavender, but that was too long imo XD And I figured Silver would see no issue with giving his Chao a name after a colour, since the exact same applies to him, but Espio definitely has opinions on it as well. But sometimes you just gotta take the easy route and utilise what is right in front of you to give a name to your new pet <3

#most orange cats are males whereas well over 99% of calico cats are females because the orange and black genes are on the X chromosome #so for male cats it's a lot 'easier' to get one X chromosome with the orange gene than it is for females to get two basically #as for Chao colouration I do not know how it works but I do know they change colour if you pet them enough XD #Since Es and Silv are both heroes I figure Lilac is gonna become a light purple Chao very quickly! <3 #silver the hedgehog #espio the chameleon #espilver #I always wondered why Cheese is still a Neutral Chao like Cream what are you hiding🤔🤔 #lilac the chao

I’m not gonna say anything about the lawsuit because I think it is inherently silly (derogatory) but I thought we all agreed that it was bad to get the law involved in fandom stuff.

#Like we all put up with a lot of shit because it would be worse if we did anything about it legally #I thought this was agreed upon #we have to exist in a legal liminal space in order for fan works and stuff not to become a copywrite problem #and this is the same #if arguing about blorbo online becomes defamation we can't argue about blorbo online anymore #and that my friends is tyrany #Calm down chill out try my pattented ofmd cocktail: the calicobeard #bake a 40 orange cake remember how fun that was? #do that #ofmd #Our flag means death #fandom fuckery #I'm not worried no lawyer will take this #but come on

What a beautiful day to participate in democracy, eat a sausage and do a little thrift shopping, come home, hang out my laundry, put on the Transformers movie soundtracks, and re-arrange my hoard of plaid woolen blankets to accommodate their new hoardmates.

#The Transformers movie soundtracks remain the best movie soundtracks of all time this is the hill I will die on #also it would seem that I have finally begun to internalise the notion that I own enough plaid woolen blankets #because I only bought two today and I could have bought like eight but there is a set of criteria I have now #any old blanket I will buy if it is a decent size and in useable condition if it is under $10 #because I can tell myself I will use it for pattern testing even though as soon as it enters the hoard it becomes Precious™ #and then I can't use it for pattern testing because what if it turns out terrible? #but that little lie at the time of purchase is important #and I am willing to pay up to $25 if it is a colour I like or particularly unusual #and on rare rare occasions I will pay up to $40 if the colour is amazing #the ones I bought today were an amazing colour ($35 for a bright purple) and an unusual colour ($15 for a green and red but quite small) #also there were still a few in the boot of my car from last week when I bought 3 unusual pastels (yellow/grey pink/grey and orange/green) #the real problem is that now that I am working full time again I have much less free time for sewing #before I was adding three fabrics a week but using two #now I am still adding three and it is going to become a problem

Like I'm trying to not be openly pathetic on main but what do you know that translates to me barely being online the past week

Who'd have thought

#speculation nation #at least when my girlfriend was here i was offline for very good gay reasons #aka. spending time with her lol #but since then ive just been working every day and becoming more and more exhausted #and dreading the approaching date. i already almost cried today at the mention of an orange cat. #not even My orange cat. just. orange cat. #and cassy is so similar to him in ways that fucking Hurt. purposefully so. i wanted an affectionate cat. #but in some ways he really does feel like a nearly direct replacement. all things considered. #i accidentally wore the same outfit to pick cassy up that i wore on the day sammy died. realizing that was like a punch in the chest. #'but fanny it's just a cat. why is the anniversary fucking you up so bad?' #i grew up with him. that cat was my Brother. my companion. my familiar. #and no cat will ever be able to replace what he was to me. Never. #animal death/ #bc yea yea im the poor fuckin sod whose longtime cat died almost a year ago. i hate how much my brain focuses on dates. #negative/

Hey! Are there blacksmiths in your story? I'm a hobbyist blacksmith and I'm here to help!

Blacksmithing is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong because they don't realize it stuck around past the advent of the assembly line. Here's a list of some common misconceptions I see and what to do instead!

Not all blacksmiths are gigantic terrifying muscly guys with beards and deep voices. I am 5'8, skinny as a twig, have the muscle mass of wet bread, and exist on Tumblr. Anybody who is strong enough to pick up a hammer and understands fire safety can be a blacksmith.

You can make more than just swords with blacksmithing. Though swords are undeniably practical, they're not the only things that can be made. I've made candle holders, wall hooks, kebab skewers, fire pokers, and more. Look up things other people have made, it's really amazing what can be done.

"Red-hot" is actually not that hot by blacksmith terms. when heated up, the metal goes from black, to red, to orange, to yellow, to white. (for temperature reference, I got a second degree burn from picking up a piece of metal on black heat) The ideal color to work with the metal is yellow. White is not ideal at all, because the metal starts sparking and gets all weird and lumpy when it cools. (At no point in this process does the metal get even close to melting. It gets soft enough to work with, but I have never once seen metal become a liquid.)

Blacksmithing takes fucking forever. Not even taking into account starting the forge, selecting and preparing metal, etc. etc. it takes me around an hour to make one (1) fancy skewer. The metals blacksmiths work with heat up and cool down incredibly fast. When the forge is going good, it only takes like 20 seconds to get your metal hot enough to work with, but it takes about the same time for it to cool down, sometimes even less.

As long as you are careful, it is actually stupidly easy to not get hurt while blacksmithing. When I picked up this hobby I was like "okay, cool! I'm gonna make stuff, and I'm gonna end up in the hospital at some point!" Thus far, the latter has yet to occur. I've been doing this for nearly a year. I have earned myself a new scar from the aforementioned second degree burn, and one singe mark on my jeans. I don't even wear gloves half the time. Literally just eye protection, common sense, and fast reflexes and you'll probably be fine. (Accidents still happen of course, but I have found adequate safety weirdly easy to achieve with this hobby)

A forge is not a fire. The forge is the thing blacksmiths put their metal in to heat it up. It starts as a small fire, usually with newspaper or something else that's relatively small and burns easily, which we then put in the forge itself, which is sort of a fireplace-esque thing (there's a lot of different types of forge, look into it and try to figure out what sort of forge would make the most sense for the context you're writing about) and we cover it with coal, which then catches fire and heats up. The forge gets really hot, and sometimes really bright. Sometimes when I stare at the forge for too long it's like staring into the sun. The forge is also not a waterfall of lava, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Welding and blacksmithing are not the same thing. They often go hand-in-hand, but you cannot connected two pieces of metal with traditional blacksmithing alone. There is something called forge welding, where you heat your metal, sprinkle borax (or the in-universe equivalent) on it to prevent the metal from oxidizing/being non-weldable, and hammer the pieces together very quickly. Forge welding also sends sparks flying everywhere, and if you're working in a small space with other blacksmiths, you usually want to announce that you're welding before you do, so that everyone in a five-foot radius can get out of that five-foot radius. You also cannot just stuck some random pebbles into the forge and get a decent piece of metal that you can actually make something with, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Anvils are really fucking heavy. Nothing else to add here.

Making jewelry is not a blacksmithing thing unless you want jewelry made of steel. And it will be very ugly if you try. Blacksmithing wasn't invented to make small things.

If there's anything here I didn't mention, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.
