I love quick-pickling (pickles! tomatoes! peppers of all sorts!) and for a brief moment I was daydreaming about pickling-pickling, with a water bath and everything---but one look at how many different kitchen implements you need killed that dream very extremely dead.

#each day my bone-deep cheapness saves me from picking up Every Hobby Ever #instead I must content myself with Most Hobbies (and never finishing anything ever) #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

listen gallifrey is a nightmare death planet I have to believe that time lords can be easily converted back into terrifying apex predators if they spend a long enough time outside. like how domesticated pigs will revert to wild ones within a few generations

#they must’ve been crazy efficient predators before setting up their domes and nutrient cubes and such #they can sit still to grab passing animals like a net casting spider without even breathing for almost an hour #two hearts and massive air reserves they can chase for as long as they like #tapetum lucidum they can hunt at night #yknow in a quiet heart when some of the guardsmen join leela to hunt with the shobogans? I’m v attached to that #I think it’s still done recreationally even if it’s seen as kind of a weird hobby #and I think a lot of gallifreyan high cuisine revolves around fresh raw meat and organ meat. there aren’t a lot of cheap cuts on gallifrey

What markers do you use and what kind paper? The textures are so Delicious

Very basic paper, actually! I find I overthink when using expensive stuff and it makes my sketches worse.

As for markers, I use Copics! Not that this is an endorsement (my first set were a very nice gift), but I have really liked using alcohol based markers over water based ones; lovely texture, good blending, and less streaking. However, the price can be *brutal*, and you can very easily get by with other markers + pencil crayons.

#ask #art faqs #fancy supplies are nice but the dont really help THAT much for art skills. Consistancy and persistance does. #I balked the first time I needed to go in to buy a few new ones to fill out my roster. #if you are going to invest; my strategy was to make those fancy new supplies a reward for drawing X amount of days in a row #that way one doesnt buy a bunch of stuff for a soon to be abandoned hobby #Art is a relatively cheap hobby at its basics. You do not need the fanciest and most expensive things. #I think watercolour is the only exception for me; that paper better be high grade. The paint mix also matters #but I digress. Buy what you need and not what you want. Save your money. #Guilt will make you stop drawing. Hoarding supplies and never using them is wasteful #when I drop money on new colours I'm going in with a list of what I want #and looking through the swatchpad for hours until i get the right colour. #cant emphasize enough how fortunate I am to have been gifted my copics. I never would have bought them on my own.

So crochet anon update: I haven't done anything yet! I keep looking at starter kits at Hobby Lobby but haven't bought anything yet. I just haven't been in the mood to start a new project ya know? How is your crochet work going?

i get that!! personally i don't think you need a kit, you get more bang for your buck if you just buy yarn & a hook and start practicing chaining, single, and double crochet because there's literally an unlimited amount of things you can make with just those skills!

but anyway i actually finished my blanket, the one i polled you guys about!! here's a laughably bad picture of it because my camera broke so i tried to take a pic with my old phone from high school fjksjdsj i swear it looks super cute in real life you'll just have to take my word

i've also made 2 scarves, handwarmers, more storage bags made of cut up sheets, and i started working on a sweater and then i had to had to take a break from it, but i'm picking it back up next! 💖

#i personally don't shop at hobby lobby but it's a shame because i actually think their brand of yarn is really good 😭 #but i've been exclusively buying yarn from ebay / goodwill / my friends' scrap yarn etc. #because 1. i'm cheap and 2. i want to be the least wasteful i can be #and it's fun to stretch my imagination to make yarn work for me that i wouldn't necessarily have chosen myself #anonymous #asks #nonsims #brandi answers

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent

#I am still very into trash collecting at the moment and even went out and got one of those grabby sticks for cheap and a little #bucket I can carry around and put trash in. so I am going on walks in nature a bit more (not really to enjoy nature but more to play the #very fun Real Life Hidden Object Point And Click Game that is 'hunt for bottle caps and cans' .. but eh.. whatever gets me out of the #house lol).. anyway.. some nature places near water will have cool rocks #Which I know you're not supposed to take them and I MOSTLY dont.. but every once in a while it's like... when else will I ever find a #gouda rock... I have cleaned up 4 buckets of trash today.. I have helped the environment.. mayhaps.. i could take a One Single Rocke as a #treate... ANYWAY. but yeah. I don't know the names of rocks but there's a rock that's a matte muted marigold yellow sort of #color and I call them 'cheese rock'. I'm pretty sure this one is of the 'cheese rock' species but it just has weird brown coloration #like maybe it got stained or something on one side of it. Most of the other cheese rocks have no markings. though sometimes there will be a #auburn reddish sort of hue on a corner or something.. hrmm.. curious. I also got a Beginner's Hobby rock tumbler and some supplies #so I might try polishing some of the rocks from my enormous rock collection. even though they're all street rocks I picked up from sidewalk #and stuff. I saw a video where someone put random gravel and stuff in a rock tumbler and none of them were Stunning Gems or whatver #but some still turned out cool enough that I would be pleased with the result... OUgh.. I want to post more I need to like do costumes and #sculptures and stuff and be Active On Social Media and think about my Future and Career and how it always benefits artists to keep an #active social media or etc. but I just feel so tired and bad lately. I think the summer heat waves have really exhausted me. I also have #been trying to make new friends + on a weird schedule so I've been socializing and also watching media too much. I notice I always start #to feel this kind of unsettled stress of not making any forward progress in my life if I do that for too long. like 'Okay this week I've #done nothing but meet up with two friends & watch like 10 episodes of tv and only worked on a few projects on the side.. this is HORRIBLE!' #(ppl who follow me here that I talk to on discord: this isn't about you! Im specifically just referencing being tired of introductory talks #with a new round of random strangers during my Friend Hunt. Just clarifying so it couldn't be misinterpreted as vaguepost implying that I'm #secretly bothered by talking to you or etc. lol.. anyway) . Which I know to MOST people 'I talked to a lot of friends and watched some cool #stuff!' sounds like a GOOD relaxing time but.. to me it is not ghhj.. Those are 'external' focuses on things outside myself which bothers #me if not moderated. Like.. i MUST retreat internally to work on my worldbuilding and my own thoughts and etc. at very regular intervals or #it will really start to bear on me too much. Brain Mandated Hermit Isolation lol. Just being too detached from my world and stuff for #too long feels increasingly bad. PLUS. every day I don't make tangible progress towards my goals is a day wasted that I could have been #investing in my future by working on novels/games/sculptures/actual career relevant stuff. Not even in a Capitalism way i just genuinely #enjoy Completing Tasks & feel miserable if I don't for too long. EVEN the media I'm watching I turn into A Task since I rank in a detailed #google doc list after viewing lol.. Like EW movie too boring on it's own. NEED to turn it into something I can categorize and analyze ghghj #LOVE to make things more complicated than they need to be. like YAAAY organizational tasks! yaay meticulous sorting!! BOO ''mindless fun''!

I've made 8 jim lahey-style no knead loaves of bread, and 2 kneaded pizza crusts. Did way better on the second crust. Finally got a dough hook to fit my mixer off of ebay and today I'm trying a brioche 😬 I hope it doesn't suck!

I also did a whole wheat loaf to take camping but it didn't rise correctly and ended up super dense and weird (though not dry somehow?). Bfr got indignant after I called it a fail loaf and insisted on eating as much of it as they could stomach and cradling it in their arms every time I threatened to throw it away. I finally trashed it after they stopped paying attention.

#breadposting #bfr #for the no knead loaves i did an italian herb variation and a cinnamon raisin variation #both were ok! i am learning constantly! #i wanna do an asiago loaf and bagels and foccacia and challah and cinnamon rolls #bread is such a good and cheap hobby lmao

trying to second hand pill more ppl by posting my hobby collections that are 90% hauls from collectors selling their pieces, flea markets, n auctions. keep shit circulating. buy more used dvds. etc.

being a broke ass gamer is driving me 😀 C-R-A-Z-Y 😀

#personal // #I don't usually post personal rants but my god #FOMO's been hitting so hard lately #like everytime there are many AMAZING games releasing in a short span I get so upset #because I feel like everyone can afford having all these consoles. all those games #and then there's people like me who can't afford shit #maybe 1 game on launch day in a year #a whole ass year #the rest of the games we play are super cheap games we get on sale #*or* emulated games #I know this sounds like I'm being a whiny mf but being this broke is very disheartening #and it not only affects my hobby but also every aspect of my life as a whole #not being able to go out and have dinner with others #not being able to travel #to step outside #to buy cool gifts #it's so depressing #money does buy happiness #fuck anyone who says otherwise #and thank god we have good healthcare in Spain #or else I wouldn't be able to afford that either #I'm tired. that's all. #estoy loco. locolocolocoloco #I'm also still living with my parents despite my age #so nice.

all your merch !!! how long have you been collecting? do you have a favorite item?

asdfghjksks I am so sorry it always takes me forever to answer Asks 😭 I have no idea why but Tumblr literally never gives me any notifications when I get them and I don't even know they're there in my inbox 💀

But anyway, thank you so much 🙏

I guess, technically, I've been collecting (in general) since I was really young - the earliest that I can still remember is being around 8 or 9 years old and obsessively hoarding every single piece of Pokémon merch that I could get my tiny little hands on. I do not know why my parents enabled this, but hey.

I still collect Pokémon stuff, since I still adore the franchise just as much as I did back then. But nowadays I usually stick to the merch that you can find at the real Pokémon Centers. I do have this fat Pikachu from like 1996 though, and he's completely unrecognisable

To be loved is to be changed

Obviously, my biggest collection and "main" collecting target is Obey Me! and OM: Nightbringer merch. At this point, my Satan & Solomon collection has consumed my entire house.

Here's a video tour of my collection

And that's not even the complete collection in full - I still have merch that I've yet to unpack and display, and I still have merch that I bought/ordered online and am waiting to receive when it's delivered in the mail 🥲

Thank you so much for your kind words! Whenever people tell me how much they love my SoloTan Shrine, it makes my entire day ☆

I hope that these silly little guys that I like to fill my house with can continue to make people smile 💚

#thank you! #obey me #obey me nightbringer #omswd #obey me satan #satan #obey me solomon #solomon #solotan #solotan shrine #kirby's solotan shrine #honestly I am very very aware of how incredibly lucky & incredibly privileged I am to be able to have a hobby like this #importing official merch from Japan is not at all cheap #and I understand that most people wouldn't be financially able to build collections like this #I am incredibly grateful every single day that my partner and I both have stable jobs and income #and that our circumstances allow us to own the home that we have while still being able to budget for indulgences like this #it always makes me happy to know that my collection has brought people joy when they've seen it #and it always makes me so happy when people tell me how much they love it

Don't get cheap colouring books from Amazon!

I have a sneaky suspicion that they're AI Generated sh*t.

For example:

This book looks great,... Nothing seems untoward,...

Then, upon closer inspection of the pages inside, there are all sorts of weird mistakes.

But this is the biggest mistake.

Just what the f*ck is going on with these donkeys?!

"you're not special !!!" I'm actually part of the very small amount of people who bothered to go watch Scott Pilgrim in theaters - not even just once but three whole times - instead of letting it dramatically flop so... speak for yourself

#we are not the same #scott pilgrim #bee tries to talk #the only good thing about my teenage years was being able to spend all my life in theaters because the prices for kids were okay back then #and I didn't have any other hobbies anyway so #except drawing which is doable with cheap shit

A big dumb mech that only the kings of big dumb mechs could love. The annihilator is less a mech and more a vaguely mobile turret emplacement and I both love and hate it for that. Credit where credit's due this thing has a hell of a whollop that it packs but with a speed of 2/3 most assault mechs comfortably outrun it in reverse gear so good luck ever getting to actually shoot stuff.

#hobby #mini painting #miniatures #battletech #battlemech #mech warrior #mech #mecha #giant robot #annihilator #truly this thing out-stupids the urbie #at least and urbanmech is cheap and has jump jets #no idea if I'll ever actually field this big lad

got bad news so I bough Hades II in retaliation ✌

#personal #more like inconvenient news #but they will most likely fuck up my finances way worse than expected #so i of course did the reasonable and adult thing #got mad and bought a game #oof #back to saving like a madwoman again #and just as i got into the very cheap and affordable hobby of building gunpla #oh well. #snap back to reality ig

cecily's favorite hobby

She's surprisingly into gardening! She has a small garden inside the walls of the castle she grabbed for herself, where she grows various flowers. Was into growing medicinal herbs for a while, to trade for stuff like cloth and tools, but nowadays that's not really how medicine gets produced so she's not doing that as much.

She also makes her own clothes and stuff, but to her that's less of a hobby and just the only way she's ever gotten her clothes. Due to her long life doing handicrafts she's quite good with her hands, even if it rarely comes up

#oc lore #thankies for the ask!!! #answering totally unrelated stuff to what i asked to. get asks about it recently lmao #but i think about her hobbies reasonably often so #shes sorta grandmacore when you think about it.. #ilta points this out to her and she pouts the rest of the loop #also she likes taking care of her car herself. shes very proud of it #her piece of modern technology ^^ (like 20 yr old cheap car)
