#however; hear me out here

[agrimmbrothersgrimmestgoose]

I just have to say, my Gender Expression is unapologetically Sanji from One Piece and Momo Chiyoda from Demon Girl Next Door (ESPECIALLY season 2)

(I tried SO HARD but I couldn't find a good pick of Momo's cat shirt, just know those cats are YING YANG CATS! yes I have an embroidery pattern I painstakingly made, yes you can have it if you want just shoot me a message (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♡)

They are just Butches your honor, but like my specific flavor of Butch and I love them and their fashion SO much

I deadass am teaching myself to sew partially cause I want better clothes w/o spending money AND cause I Need Embroidered Shit on my Hawaiian Shirts & They Don't Make Cat Graphic Tees Like Momo's But I Have A Needle And Hubris

Anyway, if you are looking for a sign to Steal His (your favorite character's look) this is it, don't let social rules stop you, you'll look hot as fuck

#sanji #one piece sanji #momo chiyoda #demon girl next door #am I insane? #yes absolutely no question #I have some projects on what I call my Hubris List #however; hear me out here #sometimes dressing in a fun way is super simple and fun #i added like 3 embroidery flowers to a sweater and BOOM i love that sweater so much more now #did you know that pearl snaps not only are super cheap they are really easy to install? #Im in the process of switching all my shirts to pearl snaps (cause I love them) #Pearl Snaps Are Queer Fight Me About It #ANYWAY! #I really like funky silly little outfits and dressing butch in a way thats comfy but still ✨fashion✨ #this post is mostly an excuse to chitchat about it XD and to motivate myself into finishing my tester Coveralls so i can make my Real Pair #(i just got some fancy table cloth material thats PURPLE BROCADE!) #gonna make some bomb coveralls >:3c

(SLAMS MY OCS DOWN)

I MISSED THEM SO MUCH YOU GUYS

Reynold, the ADHD human that he is, has a very hard time focusing on much of anything and the only way he can be considered "accomplished" in his former line of work (CIA) is because he knew. He knew he had to do the task as fast as possible before he forgot what he was doing.

Now he lives in another world and is basically the trophy husband to the demon lord and Reynold is like "this is amazing I'm adopting the whole entire demon army as our children". And the demon lord is like "you want to adopt my demon army" and Reynold is like "starting with your advisors, yes. those are our daughters now. I love them. I would literally kill for them."

And Sascha, the demon lord determined to NOT ACTUALLY FIGHT PEOPLE, is like please don't kill anyone. And his job is now "take care of the entire demon race and also act as impulse control to one human". Luckily his twin advisors love Reynold too and agree to help keep him in line in the world.

And since idk how much I posted on main and not my OC blog for the advisors, Melo (left) is mute and Lody (right) does the talking. They are able to share what they see with each other because of the pink/yellow eyes acting as like a gateway of sorts. So they're rarely assigned to survey the same area since if they're apart they can see twice as much and report on more in order to aid Sascha. (But at the castle they both like to stick together and trail either Sascha or Reynold)

#my characters #also since sascha is the demon lord he has the ability to turn into a biiiiiiiiiig dragon #its an ability only allowed to the blood line of demon lords and if the demon lord dies with no family #the ability manifests in a random demon and thats how the next lord is chosen #however ! since he found the twins on the verge of death and basically gave them both some of his essence/life #they are not actually related by blood but do carry some of his royalty #and can turn into big lizards and reynold loves this so much because oh my god thats so cute #they - as lizards - could crush his bones and kill him easily but hes like LETS GO TO THE GARDENS #AND SUNBATHE ON SOME ROCKS #and the twins are like .......................... odd priority but lets go #and so sascha will wander outside if he cant find the trio and yeah theyre normally just asleep on rocks #two big lizards and his husband just napping in the sun #after melo and lody are told to their faces by reynold hi you can call me mom if you want #they look confused but then later on lody is like HELLO MOTHER and sascha gets absolute whiplash when his husband beams #and turns to face his adopted children who just called him mother #like this poor demon lord is stunned enough by that but he was warned by reynold that adoption was non negotiable #so he is like understandably odd endearment moving on now #until he hears another of his soldiers talk about have you seen mom recently and is like #this human really is out here adopting the entire army and im really confused but its very cute and endearing

me: I just really want to live alone out in the woods without roommates

relatives and more outgoing friends: I don't know, that always sounds nice at first but it can get really lonely after a while. you might not like it as much as you think.

me: haha sure

me, two years into living alone out in the woods: ... yeah they didn't know what they were talking about, this is fucking great

#I don't have to share my kitchen I don't have to wear headphones I don't have to hear anyone else talking and/or fucking at night #I can arrange the living room furniture however I want and monologue to myself while I'm cooking #it's just me and a rotating cast of seasonal birds/fish #and the landlords in the yard but you can't have everything #I mean granted it would probably be better if I hadn't moved out here during quarantine because I'm basically feral now #but even so I regret nothing

ok thats it i literally need a new job now .

#i know i bitch and moan a lot abt my job. but not without good reason! #however i really want to get out of here now today. #fucking. supervisor who keeps telling me to do more as far as maintaining the coffee area #when 90% of the issues are actually fault of the dumbass stock traders we make coffee for who dont know how to make a cup of coffee #and cant clean up after themselves. and i get that its my job but this is also just fucking stupid #and normally she tells me this stuff in the area where i brew the coffee which is more or less away from people #its at least more away from people than the hallway where the coffee station is where people always are #which is where she chose to loudly tell me more things i should be doing #maybe don't fucking do that in front of the people i do this stuff for! now they think im a fucking idiot! #like that's just. idk kind of unprofessional to me like you don't lecture your employees in front of customers #if we're so concerned abt the appearance and image of the service we provide (which this place is concerned way too much with) #then idk maybe talking abt that kind of stuff should be done more privately. or at least quietly #like she wasnt yelling at me but like everyone around could clearly hear it #but like ive said before i cant standddddd this job anymore. #so i might apply for that store leader job at gregorys coffee #even though the work culture there seems like a different kind of annoying #id at least be making Much More and also closer to where i live so #i just have to fix up my resume and make it seem like i can handle more of a management kinda job

i am very relieved that i am not the only person who hears the words ‘family groupchat’ and immediately thinks “sounds fake, but ok”

like no judgment if you have them, i can theoretically understand their usefulness. it is still just. so divorced as a concept from my relationship with my family, like how can they guilt me about not staying in touch if they have an easy way of remedying that problem???

#ray.txt #it’s a time honoured tradition amongst southerners to name and shame the ones who have left the south for whatever reason #‘oh so-and-so #he/she/they moved out west/up north and we just never hear from them anymore #bless their heart 😌’ #or #my favourite #‘so are you finally going to come home for thanksgiving this year??’ i’m sorry but i AM home i am not on an extended vacation #i pat taxes here i have a mortgage i have family here through my husband this is not a holiday #but if they could easily answer these questions in a groupchat how could they shittalk and gossip about me at church??? #edited to add i guess they could still shit talk and gossip about me at church #however. consider that i would have to talk to them #to give them ammo for their shittalking and gossiping #no i think i will pass on the groupchat thanks

Trying? Trying??? By learning. By succeeding!

(about this and my text under the cut)

this is very nice actually thank you so much <3 <3 and like, i probably do need to give myself more credit in general but also i am still very much learning and stumbling and figuring digital art out (and for the most part it is so fun)

I’m gonna ramble about this a bit so bear with me and also i apologize lol, but that art was done after a month of getting increasingly more frustrated with everything turning out so badly and eventually realizing that I was trying to 1. copy a certain look/style that i’ve internalized is what fanart and digital art should look like and is very far away from my style/comfort zone 2. i was trying to do everything digital allows without being comfortable with it or understanding it

so (and this took me a month to realize ? ??) i did what i already knew from doing acrylic and oil painting in the past and could somewhat easily transfer to digital without having to know more than the basics, like i didn’t use a lot of the things digital provides or allows for. i used layers for my own peace of mind but without actually needing them and did some color adjusting (honestly, the color adjusting digital lets you do is such a blessing to me) but the only fancy way i really utilized the medium was making it a gif (which is so fun and a lot easier than i would have thought, like honestly watch me make any future art into gifs too) but there are so many things you can do with the medium with settings/effects, different brushes, tools to use in the process etc that i just do not understand what they are or how to implement them so i am very slowly learning digital art as a whole new medium rather than just being able to use it to adapt what i already know

#sorry you just wanted to say a quick thing and i went on a whole rant (welcome to my blog tbh) #like i'll watch tutorials and they'll be like 'and i just did an overlay and then a multiply layer in a good color (:' and im like ??? wdym #'a good color' what color is a good color? like i can put those effects on my work but that's just me clicking a button without knowing wha #will happen really and like i watch speed paints and see them do stuff and im just ? HUH? what was that and why? #i also do not understand a lot of these concepts with traditional art tbh like people will talk about under paintings and im like yeah sure #i hear you however i also do not- i just place a color where it should be and that's that which i know is why my colors often don't feel #cohesive which is also something i need to learn which is blah- im basically just saying i actually do not know any theory or technique #even with traditional it is all just vibes and hoping for the best which in the long run just makes me very confused about what i am #actually doing and not confident at all i'll be able to do it again so u know #we're out here literally just raw dogging art without any thought #but it's also just i do not need to do all those fancy things but i would like to understand them and i am excited to see my progress now #i just really had a shitty month of making ugly things up until now okay so i was a little fragile when i posted that #but people have been so so nice about it and ive been crying for two days straight #also people have been so lovely about the colors and colors are deadass the hardest part about digital like with paint you often buy a set #that already match and then mix them if needed and they'll look nice together but with digital you're just on your own- no training wheels #ask #anon

Okay, so I reblog a lot of SWVA Wildlife Center posts, and was surprised to find out they've been embroiled in legal battles for years now. Further investigation leads me to the following summary:

SWVA has been on in operation since 2000. They acquired and relocated to the Coleman Rd property in September, 2013.

The neighbours, the Seymours purchased a neighbouring property in 2008, and another in December 2017. Maver and Creaser purchased their property in July 2017. Disagreements have arisen over shared road use and other property concerns.

In March 2018, the wildlife center files for a special use permit with the County department of community development to build a raptor building/aviary for raptor rehabilitation. In response, neighbours request a determination letter from the zoning administration twice (March and May, 2018). They then appeal and challenge the determinations.

In 2018, the first lawsuit is filed, followed by a second lawsuit later in the year. The cited concerns were traffic increases, and light and noise concerns.

In 2019, they file for a third lawsuit, a defamation suit against the Center for a Facebook post about the timeline of events, including descriptions of aggressive and threatening behaviours.

In March 2021, the Roanoke County Circuit Court ruled in favor of the wildlife center to use a special permit — which was issued by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors — to build a raptor facility for large birds of prey. (x)

However, the Virginia Supreme Court has decided to hear an appeal filed in the case against the wildlife center and the board of supervisors by two neighbors of the wildlife center, who are looking to stop the construction of the raptor facility. (x)

On Jun 11th, 2022 the Executive Director of the Center states "To date, these cases have cost us over $140,000, and with this recent news we expect to spend tens of thousands more that we can ill afford on these unnecessary lawsuits." (x)

SWVA is a non-profit, volunteered-based veterinary/rehab facility funded on donations. There is no other rehabilitation center of this classification in the entire western half of Virginia and is only one of three facilities of this type in the whole of Virginia.

You can make a donation to them here.

(SWVA has a short post on their website about their side of the story. They also provide the 3 legal documents on the lawsuits available in their entirety on Google Docs.)

#anyone feel free to correct me or add any other information: this is my understanding from the lawsuit documents and news reports! #however legal documents can be confusing so im willing to hear out anyone who has any amendments to what ive said here #conservation #wildlife #donations #virginia

...  paperbacks or hardcovers ?

#hear me out: hardcovers no #i will buy them if i love the books so much that i just want them on my shelf #for the pretty pages or dust jacket #but i honestly hate dust jackets... nothing about them makes sense while reading #either you take the whole thing off or you crinkle and wear it out while you read #and then YA books never have like.. nice covers under the dust jackets so it's just huh #i am pre-ordering chain of thorns because grace is on the cover and i'm thrilled #bUT THE PAPERBACKS for this series are 10x better ... the spine art #the font size in the books is better imo too and i actually have seen typos in the hardcovers #but not the paperbacks?? #and i know publishers purposefully will wait like 11+ months to release the paperback version #so they can make more money off the hardcovers #but they're just ... not as good and i always end up selling my new releases and getting paperbacks instead #sighing here #and when it's a book you'd refer back to a lot it feels like paperbacks make more sense because you can wear out the spine #it shows less #however this is not to be confused with mass market paperbacks which are too tiny and impossible to read #⋆ 🦋 ◝ ooc. ◟ here to romanticize unhingedly.

[designernishiki]

hot take (aka headcanon) but I kinda think that nishiki and kiryu’s relationship pre-split wasn’t on both sides platonic/familial or fully romantic; I feel like nishiki had a thing for him (not sure if he fully realized it though) and that he had developed feelings for kiryu over the course of a good long time that were deeply confusing on their own, but even more so considering they would’ve been hard to sort out with what could just be attributed to close friendship or a familial-type bond.

and on the other side of this, kiryu was utterly oblivious and never thought to question what they had as being anything other than a close friendship or familial-type relationship or whatever it was being called out loud (we know kiryu, he’s blunt as hell and takes things at face value– not the best at reading between the lines) hence why the split between them, though both were clearly hurt a ton by it, hit nishiki harder and more acutely– because on top of losing the most important person in his life, which is bad enough, it would’ve crushed any tiny shred of hope he may have had to live out his long-time, perhaps even since-childhood fantasy of being by kiryu’s side forever as his one true confidant, in a more intimate way than as a friend.

#rambling #sad boy hours #this also ties into why I hc nishiki as being gay rather than bi for the most part (though both are absolutely valid and understandable) #won’t get into that here too much but yeah there’s just… a lot of tragic gay angst that can be associated with him and the way he handles m #(or doesn’t handle) their little… breakup and whatnot #and as for kiryu’s side of things. honestly if things went a different way than they did I don’t think something beyond friendship would be #out of the question. it’s just. I don’t think kiryu would’ve ever considered the concept because he’s so clueless #when it comes to relationships and romance and so on and furthermore because of the way he was brought up- which of course wouldn’t really #highlight the idea that falling for a guy (or vice versa) is even a possibility let alone that it’d be applicable to him and someone so #close to him and whatnot. learning about nishiki’s past feelings for him in a hypothetical post-kiwami situation I think would make #him short circuit. and to literally anyone else who knew about nishiki’s actions after the split and all it’d all click and make perfect #sense hearing that. but to kiryu it’d take some fuckin Time to process #I think the past would be in the past by whatever hypothetical future point this is but still its a lot to apply to some of the most #important and fundamental parts of/events of his life. hh. yeah. tack on some guilt if you wanna say kiryu would be with majima at that #point (however you define ‘with’– important part is It’s Not Straight) so the potential there- whatever it was- wasn’t totally nothing like #it would be if he was simply straight and thus it would’ve never been a possible relationship outcome #but. yeah. anyway. sorry I’m. I need to stop I’m going insane I think l #I hope I don’t sound too insane or controversial for this take gahdhshdh have mercy on me #it’s. it’s all just ideas. thoughts. in a game. in minecraft. etc #nishiki #kiryu #yakuza #long post
