#having done the math

[unrequitedloveletter]

me when I realize that when I start working, if I go the way I plan to I will learn what it means to experience burnout in it's truest form

#cal talks #I'm taking the year off so that I can work and build up enough in my savings to at least be able to manage a semester of living debt free #my plan going in is to work a hell of a lot of over time #which I know is gonna burn me out (working twelve hour days and then sleeping twelve hours doesn't sound like fun but oh well) #BUT I have a shit ton of saving to do and am trying to fast track it #having done the math #in order to get all of the tech-y stuff I need I have to save roughly 4.5k after taxes #BUT I want to save closer to six thousand because then I have a teeny tiny bit of wiggle room #and if my math is off then the 1.5k cushions however much it's off by

#selfie bee #to be honest my stage 2 was just drawing the same picture of Helena Bonham Carter everyday #I still have the folder #friends not only did I drive a BIKE recently I also drove a CAR #all on my own!! （*´▽｀*） #It was very scary and I cried a few times but I did it #in the beginning I had to do a few night shifts in a different city and there was to other way to get there and in the end it was fine #I wonder what other things I am scared of are secretly fine #phonecalls? math?? （●´･△･｀） #I am actually avoiding math right this moment #I've decided to learn how to sew a skirt and did you know that sewing is secretly math #I did not know and now the skirt is very short and the living room is covered in yarn and I have not done any actual sewing yet #but I will do it and maybe its just like driving and you just have to cry a little and then it will be fine #the only truly bad thing that happened while driving is that I got into a thunderstorm one time #and it was night and there were 300 trucks going to opposite way #I tried to focus on the Lizzo song on the radio but I was also crying #if you were a truck driver and you saw a woman 2 months a go at night driving a car crying while singing Juice! Juice! (´；д；`) #I'm fine I hope you didn't also cry #have a nice day friends!! #I hope you're doing well!! ♥ :) #I will now go back to the skirt

I had to…

#I should be preparing for my math exam but here we are #when I tell you I jumped up and ran to my room to grab my iPad #I have no doubt someone else had done this but I had to draw it for myself #I should have drawn eclipse with both…maybe later #crunch art #silly bots #sb daycare attendant #sb sundrop #sb moondrop #sb sun #sb moon #dca fanart #dca doodles #dca fandom #sundrop #moondrop

day 99

i have NEARLY finished the skirt for my ren faire fit i just gotta get a few finishing details added and also get the undershirt bleached (bc i got a bunch of makeup on it at last years fair and shit Stained) but THEN i can show yall the final fit!!

#day 99 #year 5 #aradia megido #homestuck #its gonna be cute #i was so fucking stressed abt this one because like. #i bought my fabric and i was like oh yeah dude this is toooootally more than enough for a circle skirt #went to finally cut things #realized i only had enough for a half-circle skirt and it would end up with a bunch of weirdly-shaped scrap at the end #(ie i would have to do a bunch of weird piecing to make the waistband and pockets and such) #and like honestly a half-circle skirt was NOT enough volume for me i need my skirts swooshy #so i was like well. okay. i think i can optimize my fabric usage more if i draft a paneled skirt #but this of course required..... Math. #and unfortunately. i was an art major. so. there was a lot of struggling #BUT I DID IT. THERE WAS STILL A LIIIIITTLE BIT OF PIECING THAT HAD TO BE DONE BUT IT IS MINIMAL AND CAMOUFLAGED PRETTY WELL #and also this is for a ren faire primarily bc i dont wear a lot of skirts in day-to-day #SO. economical fabric usage is absolutely period accurate. even though none of the rest of my outfit or techniques are. #basically all thats left for me to do is add pockets and the closure at the back #i meant to add the pockets as i was doing the main construction but i got too excited and forgor #so theres gonna be some seam ripping but nothing too bad

Brennan: this is a non-ferrous metal

Me, working on a PhD in materials science: huh, interesting, no iron. Presumably he’s trying to imply it’s non magnetic, oh yep bronze, non magnetic for sure. Is magnetism a type of damage in dnd…? I don’t think magnetism has ever come up in Dimension 20 before…

Emily: oh so it’s fey-

Me: You fool, FErrous doesn’t mean FEy, it means - oh…Right. Fairy rules

#fantasy high junior year #fhjy #Also I set a timer and did the essay test and even typing I only hit 236 words. #I focused on not having robot principals and mitigating the impact of evil faculty #The math one can be done in 2 min. But I panicked and didn’t use algebra the 1st time.

every time I draw pannacotta fugo in sketches he’s always just holdin papers n shit 😭

#he has so much paperwork #like it’s always no matter what whether it’s pre-VA or post-PHF bro is always holding paperwork #tax documents and shit #even though he’s like 16 #Bruno lets him do it because if he doesn’t have paperwork to do he starts going insane #symptom of academic trauma #fugo when he has time off: im going to do Math. i will not be taking a Break. i do not Need it. let me do Taxes. #He’s always found passed out in the office #lil guy doesn’t know how to have fun on account of all the PTSD and other issues #doing paperwork IS how he has fun #Bruno’s like I’m worried he’ll wear himself out if he doesn’t have time to relax. I’m not giving him any paperwork so he can take a break #and abbacchios like you and I both know he can’t do that. the kid will start killing people if he can’t do paperwork. #just give him the income statements or some shit he’ll be fine. #bruno gives him a crossword book and it keeps him occupied for like 3 hours #but the second his break is over he appears at Bruno’s location and is like I’ve done the crosswords. I need to do Work now or I’ll explode #jjba #vento aureo #golden wind #amby yells #pannacotta fugo

here the drawing I've been sort of live posting about. my ass cannot decide on the final color assembly so you get two versions, pick your fav

#sonic prime #cant wait to see what this kid has cooked up in the grim #ough january cant come faster #jk jk it will be here in like..two weeks felt time watch #the trailer gave me the much needed motivation to bite through shading the tails. you see I still have no clue how to shade metal #possibly never will #just like math #imma just put lines there and hope they look good #also yes drawing witha a color palette is my new fav thing #is so fun #but so diffucut to hold myself from wanting to blend the colors #sharp color contrast isnt my thing but it looks sooo pretty when done right #idk if its my case tho #ill see in a feew months from now on #miles nine prower #nine the fox #mah art #me does arts #actually finished doodl

Someone did insane math to verify a minor detail on my fic.... And it didn't have to be me....??

#a little creature #dungeon meshi #i want you to know. i am holding you. so gently. #thank you. you have literally confirmed my best case scenario. the peace i feel is infinite and vast #not only are the measurements ideal #the math has been done based on canon material so even if new extras prove me wrong the fault does not lie with me

[floralfractals]

Hi everyone, I wanted to write a quick update to you guys :)

I made this blog in March of 2021. At the time, I followed my first math course on fractals and dynamics, and had just discovered a tool to make my own awesome fractals. This blog started out as a place to share the art I was making as a coping mechanism during covid, but as I quit making them after a few months, this blog died pretty quickly. In 2022, I decided to start posting regularly again (mostly just shitposts though), just so that the effort I put into this blog wouldn't go to waste.

Then, in the beginning of this year, I started writing my thesis. I posted one (1) shitpost about him (my well-known and popular son), and got 10s of thousands of notes. Every morning I would wake up to another crowd of people who loved the graphs, or were baffled by them, and I got showered in asks to elaborate on him.

Truth be told, 2023 has been a very heavy year for me. A lot of things happened in my personal life, and I lost a dear friend to suicide. It became so difficult for me to keep writing on my thesis, and the project that should have been finished in June this year has now been taking 4 months too many. My mental health has suffered greatly, I haven't been able to take any breaks, and life has just been generally difficult. I have spent nights not being able to sleep because I wanted to finish my bachelor's thesis so bad, but my supervisors would keep demanding more work, more edits, and more drafts. At some point, I even considered quitting my studies and finding a job.

The community has helped me to keep going. Mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike who sent me genuinely interested questions, made me laugh in the notes, created fanart (??? I'm still baffled by this but the people who did this are the coolest in the world) and generally made me feel for the first time that mathematics isn't a universally hated subject. On some days, the only reason I was able to keep going and the only thing keeping me from experiencing burn-out was the support I got through this blog.

Today, 10/12/2023, I turned in my thesis. Thank you so much for your support!

#my sickly son #math #literally thank you guys so much #this isnt a goodbye or anything its just me being sentimental lmao #ill be able to start posting about other things in the future #probably less things about my sickly son and more idk fun stuff about dynamics/fractals/probability #maybe ill get into fractal art again now that i have the time #right now past me is drafting this after one of the lowest days ive experienced in a few months #just as a reminder that i will be able to post this at some point and i will be done and i will be able to call myself BSc #disclaimer the supervisors did ask for more work but it was also bc my thesis just Was Not That Good for a long while #had to fix a looooooooot of mistakes #no shade on them i love my supervisors a lot

ALOS 200 DTIYS!!

@morrogatari HOLY FUCKING SHIT IM FINALLY DONE HERE IT IS CONGRATULATIONS ON 200 OKAY TIME TO YAP

its not as interesting or dynamic as the one i showed you earlier but okay let me explain this. so i have her holding her hands up to her eyes in the see no evil gesture right BUT you see how shes still looking through her fingers BECAUSE you also said she still sees everything. boom best of both worlds or whatever. i wanted to add the blindfold so i sorta have it covering her mouth alluding to the speak no evil gesture?? idk i just wanted the funky eye blindfold. i tried to make it look directly at you AND shes also looking directly at you cause she sees everything,, you see what i did there,, uuhuuhhh you see. i dont really have an explanation for the glowing eyes in the bg i just thought they would be cool and i did end up covering her dogs i aint learning how to draw bare dogs. i also tried to make it a sort of higher angle her robe and the hair behind her is spread out on the floor i hope that came through. one thing im unexplainably proud of is the chains LOOK AT THEM

AND THE FABRIC SHADING I THINK I CAME IN CLUTCH its a little messy cause i could not find a reference for the LIFE OF ME anyways more versions below of course

no shading and without the black hands and legs cause lowkey i forgot they were darker until the end

also look at what i was fucking doing with the rendering. i don’t know where i learned this from but i set it to overlay (the orangey one) and i just put more green over top

AND in true jello fashion

here’s my camera roll 💀

#IM SO SERIOUS WHEN I SAY I WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN CAUSE I WAS DONE #GRAAHAHAHHHH ITS NOT EXACTLY THE VISION PERFECTLY BUT ITS STILL NOT BAD HEY #ive been working on this for. how long #a month maybe right when you posted it when was that #to be fair i hammered out a good portion of it in like two days and then didnt touch it for weeks #like last time lmao #i dont know anything about the fic so unfortunately i cant hide more references in there #i got nothing to say in the tags this time ive already yapped everything out #CONGRATS AGAIN ALO!! BIG TWO ZERO ZERO #i have another math quiz tomorrow lmao #ninjago #lego ninjago #the preeminent #ninjago the preeminent #ninjago dtiys #alo200dtiys #eyes cw #idk just in case #jellos scribbles

It's kind of hilarious how The Long Winter goes on this extended tangent where it ties itself in knots explaining how Almanzo illegally filed a claim at 19, but it's okay, because the law is stupid and Almanzo is really responsible and totally deserves to run his own farm, so this is much more moral than those guys who are filing claims legally and then handing off the land to corporations...

And it's all completely unnecessary, because the real-life Almanzo was a few years above the 21-year age requirement, and this plot problem only exists because they aged Almanzo down because they didn't think children's book audiences would accept the ten-year age gap between the romantic leads.

#the long winter #little house #laura ingalls wilder #i've done the math on farmer boy you're not fooling anyone #usually i'm very sick of people who insist that the books have to match history #these are not supposed to be the real people just fictional characters heavily drawn from real life #that doesn't stop this from being funny though

finally got around to drawing them all! I played through isat recently and I’m now obsessed <3

#in stars and time #isat #siffrin #mirabelle #isabeau #odile #bonnie #okay artist notes time yippee #I was gonna draw loop. then I looked at loop. and said no <3 #this is my first time drawing pretty much all of them except for sif and odile #I have doodled odile extensively in my math notebook taking notes for statistics. we love to see it #gotta say. hate how I drew isabeauuuu #the more I look at him the more I think no!! he doesn’t look like that!!! #but I just want to declare this particular thing done and move on #and draw him better next time :) #his hair is such a pain. how do you draw that #oh #kris’s art #I forgot that part

What is your favorite number or sets of numbers, and why?

#NO! STOP USING IMAGINARY NUMBERS #This is REAL Math done by REAL ponies #Yes please give me the square root of a negative integer #Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged #YEARS of multiplying #yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for taking the limit of n to infinity #LOOK at what this pink pony is demanding your attention for #Hello I would like e to the power of i times pi please #They have played us for absolute fools

3 more days of class remain! After I finish these last 2 problem sets all I have left are finals :)

#3/4 of the way done with the math set #truly the final stretch #time for the end of term motivation boost #hopefully if I finish soon enough I can get the acm final out of the way this week while I’m still on campus #that way when I get home I’ll only have the neuro and bio finals to take #can’t wait to see my cats again #side note my hair is reaching scruffy emo lengths #I should get a haircut soon
