#buying these right away

[crunchchute]

My Sam & Max cosplay I debuted at a local con during the weekend!

#wasnt wearing leg padding in these so sorry sams a bit skinny #sam and max #cosplay #crunchchute art #my art #i could remake the pants and jacket entirely but that would be quite hard actually. i suck at making jackets especially #so those are just thrifted and edited #lots of color differences that bug me but. oh well #pants and jacket arent that different but its noticeable in these pics #as well as maxs hands and feet. theyre slightly lighter as the fabric i used is better quality #but i ran out of the stuff i used on his body etc and i couldnt buy more from that store as they took their sweet time shipping the stuff #oh well. didnt make them for a competition so its okay #im my own biggest hater and my own biggest critic #at the end of the day i made a handful of people really happy and thats all that matters to me #gotta share them every chance i get as i usually just make a cos #wear it to the con and then put it on the shelf #but im too happy with these to just hide them away after #they need a good scrub and after that id like to bring them to another con. next main goal is viecc but thats just a maybe right now

ok I'm kind of curious about this:

For bonus points put the reason WHY you do or don't in the tags.

#I do because I don't like how new clothes feel - I wanna make them feel and smell like the rest of my clothes before I wear them #they could be dusty or something from being in a store or warehouse #plus if it's gonna shrink in the wash I wanna know right away #but I think most people only wash clothes before wearing them if they buy them used #poll

another thing about the assistant angle is like. being there when bakugou reaches the hero top 40 and branches off with kirishima and sero and denki for their own agency. it's a bit of a mess bc they're barely twenty years old but—you're his only employee. he can barely afford to pay you and he doesn't even really know what you're supposed to do besides answer the phone and he's so emotionally unavailable but you're there, every single day. friendly with his friends. sometimes you bring lunch in for all of them and it's out of your own paycheck and it's not the best but you do it, for them. he lets you make the schedule for two weeks and you fuck it up so bad, but eventually you get it right and you try to be so fair—and that's hard to do, in the pro-hero world. there's nothing fair about a twenty year old man with trauma up to his ears risking his life every night because he doesn't know how to live with just himself, as just a man and not a hero, but goddamn it if you don't try to keep it fair, for every single one of them. you're one of his emergency contacts. you pick them up in the middle of the night when they're all the way across town, in another district police department bc that's where they caught the guy and where they have to turn him in. sometimes you bring their clothes or costumes home and wash them bc they don't get the chance. like it's everything.

#it means so much to me you dont get it alfhduskqlq #you're away from each other for whatever reason and he doesnt even realize how much he depends on you #until he cant #just for that moment #he goes out of the country for an underground mission for two weeks and he's like #i need to call my assistant #for what bro ???? they're not here ????? #and he knows how to do things himself that's not a question here it's just — he's so used to having someone right there #someone that is not kirishima or deku #someone that know the exact scent of deodorant he wears and buys it when they're out bc it's on sale and they know— #—how quickly he goes through it #LIKE. DO YIU GET IT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. #IT'S SO PERSONAL. #IT'S LIKE I KNOW HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU BUT I'D PREFER NOT TO HAVE TO #✿ thoughts: bakugou

weird tangent of the day: witchcraft has a finance problem

I think there is a high probability that I would be a witch if I liked spending money. I've been leaning in a kind of witchcraft-y direction for about four or five years now. I currently attend a Quaker meeting but it's a very kind of new-agey, universalist sort of group where that kind of synchretism wouldn't be completely unheard of.

The problem is, modern witchcraft as a group of religions (I use it as an umbrella term that includes Wicca & others) is a religion that implicitly requires you to have things. To do a spell you need to have all sorts of items: candles, oils, crystals . . . things that I don't want to be spending money on when I could be buying other things I need and/or want. Even if I did have endless money to throw around, I live in a loft that's about twenty feet wide, and I have to go downstairs to get to the kitchen. I don't have space to store all of the things you're told you need to have to be a witch.

The things you need to be a witch have been a severe barrier to taking up the practice for me. And the more I sit in this, the more I explore also the thought processes of occultists like Osman Space who put forth systems you can use with only pen and paper, the more I have come to realize that motern witchcraft is a religion that, even if unintentionally, gatekeeps the poor and those living in high density situations. It's something I think modern witches need to reckon with.

Because I'd like to be one of you. But I can't if it means being told implicitly over and over again that I need to have all these things.

#witchcraft #wicca #paganism #if anything this is where christianity has it right #in most denominations you don't need to buy anything to believe in jesus #which i think has shaped my spiritual decisions as i move away from the church

Here’s a little doodle dump of Tonis I put together because I love him

#Trigun #Tristamp #Trigun Stampede #Trigun Fanart #Rosa #Tonis #Zazie the Beast #Vash the Stampede #Mishmashed whatever info on him across Tri-canons I could get ahold of with some of my own hcs #So he’s interested in sporting short spiky hair with an undercut like his 98 and Trimax counterparts did because #Tristamp Vash sports short spiky hair with an undercut and he thinks he’s so cool and he wants to be just like him #He asks his mom to buy him a real gun only to be told no like his 98 and Trimax counterparts did but he’s also asking for one #just because he wants to be more helpful to his mom as she’s progressing through her pregnancy and his dad’s no longer #around because he kept being utterly useless around the house up until the day his mom finally kicked his lazy ass out #by bringing in more or much bigger wams he ever could with his net and cage #But his mom still doesn’t want to because she wants to keep him as far away from the violence prevalent across NML especially #at his age as possible seeing as she explicitly told him to scram before going after Vash along with the rest of the town for his bounty #in Tristamp unlike in 98’ and Trimax where even the kids took part in the chase #Not very good at writing dialogue so I thought maybe I could just draw the gist of it instead dunno how I did there but that’s #basically what’s going at the bottom left and upper right corners

i know i say that atsushi likes to spend his extra cash on kyouka but i also dont think kyouka lives there for "free" like she could, atsushi wouldn't mind, but i feel like it makes more sense for her to contribute since its not like atsushi's rolling in cash

maybe atsushi wouald be hesitant at a 50-50 thing becuz she's so little and he cares so much about her but i dont believe its 0-100 ya know?

#like i feel like in fics there'll be throw away lines the author probably didnt over think about atsushi deciding not to eat becuz he spent #his last change on kyouka #i think kyouka would pull a 36th before she let her brother go hungry even for a moment if she had the money #which i mean she works a job so she probably gets paid #i feel like their financial burden is becuz they don't have anything ya know #like its different spending ur money on bills and food and shit vs having to buy furniture and get new things #like do u guys know how expensive a fucking mattress is #insane #what else #oh right its not becuz she would just let him spend all his money on her and be broke #and suffer #anyway i need u guys to put respect on kyouka's name and kyouka and atsushi's relationship

Ive somehow recently just been interested in cameras and photography when I’m really bad at taking pictures of people and have shaky ish hands.

Anyways people who know photography please share ur knowledge i am curious. Infodump to me in da tags or replies i would like to learn things.

#i’m fortunately responsibke enough to like not spontaneously buy a camera right away but just weird that my brain decided to fixate on this #but if you see me posting about cameras and asking questions abou them then know that it is most likely just a little phase and the effect #of me maybe being understimulayed or whatever jdkdj and trying to focus on something new like a new hobby #rants n rambles

one thing about me is when i was 12 or 13 i DID in fact go on itunes to buy dr who music and what i legitimately did was pick out several individual tracks SPECIFICALLY because they were leitmotifs. so i have literally just always been this way

#like literally went through and basically picked out one for each companion and then a couple others #including this is gallifrey and together or not at all lmfao #the former of which is probably the most useful to have in my arsenal of Leitmotifs I Know Like The Back Of My Hand because it has a LOT of #different parts that could be pulled in individually as a reference which can make it way less obvious #(which they did when we first get the master & 10 together but ofc i caught it right away last time i watched that episode because of how #well i know the whole entire track) #there were a couple other things i bought that werent leitmotifs i just liked them #and i question past me's choice to NOT buy the bad wolf theme (????? whats wrong with you) but yeah i absolutely did do this #i was SUCH a Normal Middle Schooler lmaooooooo #ari opinion hour #this is actually so fuckin funny

all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults

you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something

#yeah i have netflix on all day #i am quite literally signed off of work for the -rest of my life- #what the fuck else would you like me to do with my time when most people are in fact at work #or did you think i can't have the tv on and put laundry away at the same time or something #must i work on commissions on silence in a dour room to be perceived as an adult #anyway 'looking after yourself/your home/your pet' is not observable #to anybody who doesn't like ACTUALLY live in your house #unless you are extremely obviously NOT doing it #if a tree falls in a forest etc #owning a house? job. like not even 'in this economy? lol' #disabled people LITERALLY can't because we aren't allowed to have enough savings for a deposit #car? would you honestly trust me with a vehicle lol but also: job #you mostly cannot buy a car without one it's a requirement for the lease #otherwise you aren't 'trusted' to pay it on time #incidentally most landlords will also - perfectly legally - refuse to rent to you because you are going to be unreliable with the rent #which is being paid directly by the gov anyway like take your trust issues up with them bro #a family? if i get married or cohabit with a partner my income gets sliced in half #so to support even myself let alone a child would require. drumroll please. employment #savings? adults have savings right? yeah but unlike you i have a gov enforced cap on mine #'good furniture not shit from ikea' (someone has remarked that ikea furniture is 'college dorm-y' it's going here) #i mean do i have to say it

In the original Japanese version of The Thousand-Year Door, Vivian was written as a transgender woman, but that element of Vivian's identity was removed in the English localization, where instead of bullying Vivian about her gender, Beldam called her ugly. Now, when Vivian is traveling with Mario in Chapter 4's Twilight Town, it's revealed that her original backstory is intact: "Truth is, it took me a while to realize I was their sister... not their brother," Vivian tells Mario. "Now their usual bullying feels heavier."

🎉🎉🎉 diversity win! this game's minor antagonists are now transphobes in english as well as japanese.

#paper mario #paper mario the thousand year door #the thousand year door #ttyd #vivian ttyd #truly though this makes me so incredibly happy #ttyd has always been one of my favorite games of all time so to see the remake actually acknowledge vivian as trans #I could cry #I wasnt planning on buying the remake right away but now i just might have too XD

I had an interesting conversation earlier with a friend about the movie, because they didn't understand why I was so intrigued by velvets character "when she's obviously just a villain"

Because that isn't how these movies work and both of the green noodles are stressed out TEENAGERS.

And I love Veneer, he's a sweet heart, but he was also part in using Floyd's essence to make his job easier.

There is obivous issues from home coming in to play with the twins (?wasn't clear) plans to further their career.

And based on their suits..... I wouldn't be surprised if what they where doing was COMMON among musicians of their people.

Because trolls aren't considered a major anything in their universe, listening to their arrest charges, it made it sound like they got arrest for PET abuse and substance violations

Oh no yeah I was thinking abt that a lot, literally in the middle of writing a post about them for the au as we speak lol. I am CONSTANTLY thinking about how the bergens treated trolls as nothing but little animals for god knows how long, EATING THEM every year, keeping them trapped there...and those guys made peace with the trolls. The trolls LOVE the bergens now! And it hasn't even been that long! But Velvet and Veener have the hammer dropped on them SO hard for doing something very similar to one troll. Sure, they were frauds, and sure, they hurt Floyd and what they did WAS incredibly wrong...but the same time they're teenagers. Like. 16 at the oldest. And their parents are NOWHERE to be seen in current day. If they're alive, they clearly don't give a shit about their kids. It wasn't even jail they got sent to, it was prison, which is much harsher in comparison. Veneer is a sweet guy, a very soft-hearted kid who is a very good character as well. But like you said, he participated. SOMETHING had to be up with their upbringing. Veneer hardly spoke and looked panicked when Velvet flipped the table...and Velvet, who was probably what, 10? 9 maybe considering how small they looked? She flipped an ENTIRE TABLE with THINGS ON IT by herself. There had to be so many events leading up to that even at such a young age to cause her to have that massive of a reaction to a question as simple as "how was school today?" Like no way they had good parents when Veneer is obviously afraid of speaking out and Velvet has a whole airport full of emotional baggage that turned her into the person she is now. And they're not even 18 yet! What the fuck! Someone help these poor kids!

#trolls #trolls band together #trolls 3 #I love them sm you don't understand #I think Velvet might be older as well? Idk the way she talked made me think she was a couple years older than Veneer. But they also look- #-the exact same age. Maybe she's older than him by like a year? #They make her out to be the older sibling from everything I've seen #but she also doesn't rlly look or act that much older than Veneer. I'd buy that they're twins #it would also make sense for them to be twins more than anything because they're nearly identical. Like if you styled Velvet's hair right- #-and took away her makeup she'd be like. A *slightly* taller Veneer. #y'know what yeah I could get on board with them being twins

if i had a nickel for every time i became obsessed with a game where the main character was an android/automaton who was grappling with what it means to be 'real' in a world where they have to fight against their own kind and had a close relationship with an older man who serves as a father figure in their lives, i'd have 2 nickels - which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

modern games can try and scare you with as many hi-res zombies as they want nothing will EVER beat the sheer adrenaline of running your little pixel character away from another little pixel character moving at moderately high speeds. all my free japanese rpgs downloaded off the internet folks know what i'm talking about

#out of curiosity was checking if they were still up free #(they = the strange men series; witch's house; mad father; mermaid swamp) #and they still are! if nobody else has got me i know vgperson's translations got me etc #tho they are all available to buy now to support the creators #so that's cool #anyway: nothing will EVER be more stressful than the 'run away from your possessed friend knocking all the paintings down' segment #in mermaid swamp. tho the 'aaaaaaaaayya!' chase in mad father is right up there #vic talks
