I SAW YOUR POST ABOUT THE PSYCHOPOMP HELMET AND I HAVE TO ASK HOW’D YOU MAKE IT??

i wanted to cosplay her at some point in the future but i’ve never tried my hand at prop making or anything of that matter really so i can’t wrap my head around any like basic concepts to make the psychopomp itself 😭😭

sorry for taking abit to answer, wanted to make sure I was at my PC to answer so I can give Exact Images n stuff of what I got/used

warning: you're gonna need some serious power tools for this. alotta bits I had to get help from my dad bc he has SO MANY hobbies that involve power tools lol

For the base:

you need a good helmet. n finding one of those ain't easy, so you're probs gonna haveta Make Do with something you can cut parts off of.

I used something like this, but cut off the parts that jut out at the ears and the lip at the front. The internal bit that keeps your Actual Head from touching the Actual Helmet is VERY helpful bc (atleast w/ mine) it wasnt a layer of foam or anything that'd be finnicky, it was just straps.

theoretically could also use a cheap-y baseball helmet though obvi you still gotta Mutilate it

For the accessories™:

The antannae are actual extendable radio antannae I harvested from an old boombox n another thing, but you can buy JUST the antannae online

the megaphone/satellite dish bit my dad helped me cut n gut a car alarm type thing and attatch it w/ this silicone stuff he had on hand

And the headphone pieces on the sides are a set of vintage radio headphones I found at a thrift store. these to be exact (they're not v rare n go for 10-30 bucks on ebay)

Though any old, chunky headphones could easily work. These were just what I had on hand. And, as a useful thing, the metal prongs connecting to the headband were perfect to easily bolt in place on the helmet and keep them flexible for easy putting on and taking off. The little radio speaker-y bits on the outside I added my dad had laying around though obvi not 1000% Necessary

And that's all really for the easily bought supplies

The front plate is Literally just a chunk of sheet metal he happened to have on hand, and added the bolts to. The fifth bolt in the middle is the only Functional one that actually attatches to the helmet

And the bit keeping the wires in place is a piece of plastic we melted to shape, painted accordingly, then hot glued in place. Added the screws to make it look abit more Cohesive with the rest of it.

The staples specifically on mine are holes drilled then w/ v thin wire fed through and twisted and trimmed.

Some smaller seams n details I added with super glue since it gave a v subtle raised effect, and bc it cracked in shipping I had to super glue some of the cracks back together Anyways lmao

also had to do alot of spraypainting to get it the right color. Make sure to paint the "accessories" seperate before assembly bc trying to tape off everything could end up Annoying and that way the metal bolts and the plate can retain their orig metal color to add contrast.

Also make sure you get Matte paint, bc it'll look goofy shiny. Preferably something meant for outdoor use bc those will have the more gritty textures you're looking for n its easy to find.

For any extra scuffing n details I did some dry brushing w/ grey and black acrylic to add depth. Best way to do it imo is add some drybrush with a scrappy old paintbrush then wipe away some with a paper towel

or just use a paper towel with a v tiny, thinly spread bit of paint

Hopefully this helps atleast some!! If you need more detailed shots of my helmet for better reference just lemme know, I just dont feel like going to grab her rn for a photo shoot lmao

Good luck w/ your helmet!! n be sure to post it lots when you're done!!

It'll be sick as hell to see how your interpretation turns out!

just be careful bout wearing it too long

start seeing things you're not supposed to

knowing things you're not supposed to

#psychopomp #good luck w/ the helmet makin anon!!

sharing some of grandma's recipes 🩷 she's OUR grandma now. she tends to give simple recipes for easy bases - add whatever you'd like to them!

recipes:

- chicken noodle soup

- chicken salsa soup

- sweet potato curry

- gumbo

- how to make rice

- homemade bread. peasant, flat, and fried

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

- buy roasted chicken. place in pot with water filled about halfway up chicken. leave to boil for 40min-hour [good for walking away and doing things. boiling it makes it super easy to get the bones out. you can also just pick the meat you want off if you're in a hurry)

- pick out bones / add boneless meat to pot with water or broth from store (as much broth as you want)

- 1tb bouillon, bay leaf [i double this for stronger flavor]

- any seasonings you want. my personal favs are creole or yellow curry. parsley is delicious as well and discourages bad breath >:]

- veggies: sliced carrots, celery, chopped onions

- bring to a boil for cooking then turn down heat, leave for 10 min

- noodles! any that you want. grandma's favorite are egg noodles. cook until noodles are desired texture

great granny made this for my gma served on top of mashed potatoes

makes multiple servings! good for easy leftovers

CHICKEN SALSA SOUP

- saute / fry chopped onion in butter. add 1 pint water and 1.5 cup salsa

- 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1-2 tb bouillon, as much garlic as you want (i personally double this)

- when it starts boiling add 1-2 cups of corn (canned or frozen)

- add bite sized chicken. i always buy my chicken precooked bc i have anxiety about it LOL. cook for 5 minutes longer

serve with sour cream, chips, and cheese

SWEET POTATO CURRY

- fry 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped sweet potato together with butter

- add a little water (don't fully cover food) and cover to steam about 10 minutes

- buy bottle of red or green curry sauce. 3 tbs. or about half the bottle. curry paste or powder also works! use same amount and adjust as desired

- add 1 cup of water with 2 tsp bouillon

- i personally add some cooked shredded chicken and a bit of creole seasoning and parsley. not called for in recipe

- add coconut milk once potatos are fully cooked and soft

- low heat until desired temperature

served with rice and flat bread

COOPER FAMILY GUMBO

cook in a big pot

- 1 bag frozen okra. chopped or chop yourself. fry with small amount of oil until it stops being stringy. takes about 10 min depending on amount. add to pot after

- add chopped: onion, green pepper, celery (1 onion, 1 big pepper, 2 celery for base recipe. i do some spicy peppers as well. add more as desired)

- 1 24-32oz can of diced tomatoes

- 2tbs bouillion (i use veggie bouillion, meat kinds are good too) (grandma uses this for an easy roux replacement) (roux recipe: butter and flour in low to medium heated pan. mix until golden brown. add creole seasoning)

- about 1 qts of water (i personally love broth so i just fill until im satisfied) (i will also use 3 32oz containers of broth instead of water for flavor)

- season with parsley, 2 bay leaves, plenty of tonys creole seasoning (i also add curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and lemon black pepper) (creole is main soup seasoning for gumbo) (the brand is just Cooper Family preference)

- once veggies are soft add bite sized cooked chicken, sausage, shrimp (i don't usually include shrimp bc of texture. i use a cooked chicken from the store and just tear it up so it's stringy. creole or beef sausage is my favorite) (i recently found some dried shrimp at my store and added that, good replacement for texture issues)

serve over rice with bread. best breads are garlic french bread or flat bread. normal bread slices also work just fine

creole is a little spicy, so taste test for desired amount as you're adding

FOR RICE IF YOU DONT HAVE RICE COOKER:

- add 1 cup rice or more

- WASH! rinse rice in water, mix with hands, and drain multiple times until water is no longer milky colored (doesn't have to be 100% clear)

- fill water until it's a little above the rice. measure with finger, i usually do a little under the first knuckle

- cover pot and leave to cook on medium heat. if it starts to boil, immediately turn down heat to low.

- once all water is evaporated, add butter and salt! serve with whatever you'd like

for YELLOW rice add 1-2 tb butter and 1 tsp turmeric, throw in some fried onions if you're feeling fancy!

grandma liked adding 1-2 tb of ketchup and fried onions to plain cooked rice. said it gave it a great reddish color LMAO

HOMEMADE BREADS

PEASANT BREAD BASE RECIPE

- 2 cups of warm water

- for rosemary bread add crushed rosemary at this part

- add any seasonings you want or leave plain! either way is delicious

- 1 tbs yeast, 2 tbs sugar, 2 tbs salt

let rest until yeast is activated (looks sticky/foamy/expanded)

- add up to 4 cups of flour. mix each cup in as you pour, the dough will be sticky and can be mixed with a fork

- cover with cloth and leave it to rise. will double in size. i usually walked away to leave it for an hour, im not sure if it actually takes that long tho lmao

- preheat oven to 375

- get your baking bread bowl or pan and butter VERY well to prevent the dough from sticking. i tend to cover the dough and pan in butter. if you don't have an oven bread pan or whatever it's called (my gma called it a cereal bowl i DONT think that's correct hahahah), then a flat pan will work just fine! bowl is just for shape. gma divides bread into 2 loafs, i divide into rolls or flatten it for flatbread!

- cover again in rag and let dough rise a 2nd time before placing in oven

loaves take about 20 minutes, but just bake until bread is a golden brown :] grandma likes adding sesame seeds before putting bread in oven

recipe works for pretty much anything! pizza dough, loafs, rolls, flatbread

FLATBREAD

- follow peasant bread recipe up until the 1st rise of the dough

- butter or spray cookie sheet with oil, spread dough thin

- brush top with melted butter, sesame seeds, parsley, and parmesan cheese

- bake at 325 until golden brown

i personally add some sliced chery tomatoes, rosemary, cheese, and creole seasoning to top bread before placing in the oven. then more cheese directly after pulling it out.

FRY BREAD

- after 1st rise, divide and hand flatten dough into thin circles

- paint with melted butter and let rest for 5-10 minutes

- fill a pan about 1/3rd with oil, high or medium heat while dough is resting in butter

- cook in oil until crispy golden brown

delicious with curry or gumbo!

My #1 post of 2022

🎼 4t2 simmify music nook by myshunosun 🎸

happy friday! here is a wonderful set by @myshunosun, perfect for any sim but especially those with an affinity for music.

i learned a lot converting this set, from tackling my demons (slots), to adjusting the footprint, to finally adding shadows, to figuring out how to make the guitar amp invisible. speaking of the guitar, it’s cloned from crispsandkerosene’s acoustic guitar, which requires argon’s hack. the storage unit is cloned from thimblesims’ dawn living storage unit c. it has 8 slots, so i just duplicated the top middle slot to make up for it. i found if you want to add two stack of LPs on the bottom of the storage unit like shown above, its best to turn them around. it won’t flicker when moving the camera that way for some reason. that should be it, enjoy! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

files are compressed. polycount under the cut.

UPDATE 9/14/22: fixed meshes so you don’t have to find the sweet spot lmao. also fixed the mesh texture on the plant to be black (bc i had pink twice and barely found out myself). also resized the record player by like 1cm shh.

UPDATE 9/16/22: Fixed the storage unit from the first fix, oops!

POLYCOUNT :

storage unit - 212 [surfaces/misc. $600]

potted plant - 554 [deco/plants $200]

So I (finally!) bought a pair of really good noise cancelling headphones, and it has changed my life! It's the fanciest thing I've bought in years, so to recoup some of the cost, I’ve researched & written a little essay based on my experiences with extreme noise sensitivity.

Hypersensitivity to sound is something I’ve dealt with all of my life, but I only recently found out it's medically known a Hyperacusis. (Please note this is a separate condition from Misophonia.) If you consistently struggle to cope with noise, the info below could be helpful! I’m including a link to my ko-fi, and I will be answering questions in the notes.

(skip to the bottom to read fun facts about my tax return and/or street organs vendettas!)

DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional, this is based solely on my experiences as a patient, and on what I have read and been told by professionals. Please notify me if you have corrections or concerns about accuracy!

BACKGROUND: Sensitivity to sound is a common type of sensory issue. While anyone can experience such issues (most people, for example, might be bothered by loud music in a crowded restaurant), some people are more sensitive than others, to the point it becomes a quality-of-life aka a medical issue.

If you consistently struggle with environmental stimuli that other people aren’t bothered by (background noises, bright lights, certain textures and tastes, etc), to the point it causes daily discomfort or limits the environments you can be in, I recommend reading about Sensory Processing Disorder.

SPD and sound sensitivity are both super common in autistic folks (like me!), but allistic (non-autistic) people can experience them too. Weep, ye prisoners of mortal coil, for none are safe, nothing sacred, not in this thy most accursed tomb of human flesh!

Anyway.

SOUND SENSITIVITY or HYPERACUSIS: Noise issues are particularly difficult to navigate in a world that is increasingly...noisy. The relatively new phenomenon of constant overhead music in restaurants, grocery stores, shopping malls etc—all of this means that public spaces are increasingly inaccessible to people with auditory issues.*

As a kid, nothing quite triggered sensory overload/meltdowns for me like the constant exposure to noise I couldn’t control—the background chatter of other kids in the lunchroom, the constant noise in public spaces, being trapped in the car with the radio on.... I had so many fights with my siblings about the car radio, and who got to choose the music.**

But it’s not just loud sounds that are the problem. As an adult who lives alone and works from home***, I’m lucky enough to be able to avoid loud environments most of the time. This does wonders for my general levels of anxiety and discomfort. But even in a mostly controlled environment, I still experience problems. Because part of sound sensitivity is that even normal or quiet sounds can feel loud and intrusive. Here are some “normal” sounds that can cause me discomfort (ranging from annoyance to outright pain, depending on the day):

refrigerator/AC/ceiling lights humming

dishwasher/washing machine noises

ceiling fan making that damn ceiling fan noise

faint sounds of traffic

riding in a car

other people having a normal conversation in the background

someone talking to me in a perfectly normal inside voice

Unfortunately, even in a “controlled” environment, many triggering noises can’t be controlled. And many parts of life can’t be lived in a controlled environment. This presents...some incredibly freaking annoying problems. Luckily there are solutions!

Sorta.

There are sorta some solutions.

They are imperfect, but they help.

TREATMENT: And now I have something rather shame-faced to admit. In all the years of managing my symptoms, it never once occurred to me to see a hearing specialist for my issues with sound. I wasn’t even aware that treatment options exist, because none of my other doctors mentioned it. Instead, I’ve spent years finding my own coping mechanisms and tools, with help from therapists and psychiatrists, but without ever consulting an audiologist/ENT. It was only while researching this post that I found out that was even an option, holy shit.

So it turns out I am going to be making an appointment with my local ENT practice. shit.

Apparently treatment options include sound/acoustic therapy, systematic desensitization/exposure therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, sound machines, and other options that I had no idea even existed, goddammit.

MANAGEMENT: In the meantime, here are my current coping mechanisms. I’ve relied rather heavily on hearing protection, which is very useful when used in moderation. Unfortunately, it can cause its own problems: it’s important not to overuse hearing protection, because in the long-term this can increase your sensitivity. So again: a useful tool, but be careful not to overdo it.

With that in mind, here are some of the coping strategies I’ve used over the last decade to manage my symptoms. This is not a perfect system and you should contact your local ENT clinic for better, long-term solutions, but in the meantime here are some tips I use to just get myself through the damn day:

Regularly spending time in a quiet controlled environment, to allow my nervous system to decompress.

Wearing earplugs, (I use two different grade, depending on the level of noise prevention I need), and always carrying an extra pair in case I need them unexpectedly. I bought a 50 pack for $7 and put spares in all my bags and jacket pockets.

(I mostly use Mack’s Ultra Soft, but there are so many types and materials and brands, including foam, silicone, wax, custom moldable etc. Even if you have trouble wearing things in your ears, you might be able to find something comfortable.)

Similarly: hearing protection earmuffs, the kind used in gun ranges and on construction sites. I bought mine online for $10. they look like normal wireless headphones, so I've never gotten comments when wearing mine in public (other than “cool heaphones” bc i added skull glitter stickers).

Sometimes I wear the earmuffs on top of earplugs, when life is just too damn LOUD.

Listening to music w/ earbuds or headphones is a great way to balance out background noises, especially if you can find soothing playlists that help you concentrate. Also useful to put in just one earbud when you need to pay attention in class/at work.

Pro tip: if your hair is long enough you can wear wireless earbuds without anyone knowing.

White noise, rain noises, ocean noises etc can be helpful! Some people like whale songs although personally this activates my primal fear response

Active noise cancelling headphones: the reason I wrote this post to begin with—I finally bought a pair! As in, a really good pair! As in, a depressingly expensive pair with noise cancelling technology that actually WORKS, holy shit. I probably need to wear them a little less at home (bc overprotection causes problems in the longterm) but they have absolutely transformed my ability to go out in public and i never ever want to take these suckers off again please take a power screwdriver and nail these to my head, bury me in the sweet sweet shroud of silence. holy canoli and cream puffs I want to marry form a civil partnership with these headphones. Plus they have a bunch of features, like being able to control the level of noise cancellation, so I can hold a conversation or be aware of some ambient noise for safety reasons.

Oh, and also they play music I guess?

Sorry sorry I promise this post wasn’t supposed to be me shilling for Big Electronics. I’m just excited, I’m an excited flabby little ball of expired flubber. ANC headphones aren’t a perfect solution, and I still sometimes wear earplugs underneath, and I will always be uncomfortable some of the time, but for me it’s been a big step.

Unfortunately the cost of good quality ANC technology means this isn’t an option for everyone, and the (much cheaper) gunshot protection earmuffs I mentioned earlier still provide an impressive amount of protection and bang-for-your buck (maybe even an equal amount of protection, if you can find ones that fit well). But if noise consistently prevents you from enjoying public space and life in general, and you’ve already tried earmuffs & earplugs and find they don’t offer enough comfort/convenience/protection, and if you’re in a position to save up for a one time non-necessity purchase of $150+, noise cancelling headphones are an option to be aware of. (Please always check the return policy so you can try before you buy. I ended up buying and returning 2 pairs before finding what worked best for me. And please look for a retailer that offers an extended warranty. You want those motherforkers to last).

There are cheaper options available, including some under $50. The ones I tried didn't work as well as my hearing protection earmuffs, but some people report good experiences, so that is something to consider. it's always good to know your options! Passive noise canceling is another affordable alternative.

Medication: A final tool in my toolbox, which for me personally has helped as much as every other method combined. Like, a lot, it’s helped a lot. It turns out some anti-anxiety medications can also help sensory issues. There’s not much research on this, and I only discovered it firsthand when a medication my doctor prescribed for anxiety ended up significantly helping my sensory issues. I no longer need medication for anxiety, but my psychiatrist still prescribes that same medication off-label for my sensory stuff. Ask your psychiatrist to research your options (they will probably have to do some digging to find relevant research, but you deserve to know all your options, even the obscure ones). Fyi, the medication I use is in the benzodiazepines class, but there are other options for those concerned about dependency or side effects.

(I'm also told anti-anxiety supplements may be helpful, though I haven't tried this yet. If you're on prescription meds, always talk to your doctor about contraindications before taking anything over-the-counter.)

So there you have it, my main coping strategies for sound sensitivity! They are not a replacement for medical treatment (except that last one which is in fact...medical treatment), but I find them helpful and I hope some of you will too! I’ve struggled for a long time, and I’m very pleased to have reached the point where I can just do things in public. Eating out in loud restaurants? I can do that now, and even enjoy it, holy shit! I can comfortably travel in cars for hours at a time, and walk around shopping malls and grocery stores with overhead music, and, and —and just exist. It is so so freeing, to feel like maybe, after everything, you are actually allowed to just exist in a world that wasn’t really designed for you.

Again, be careful not to overuse hearing protection—the goal is to allow you to be less uncomfortable and to function better, but if you find you are becoming more sensitive to noise, it is time to dial it back a notch. Or maybe consider listening to music (at a reasonable volume) to block out background noise instead.

*(This also includes people with hearing loss and related issues, btw. While that’s not my area of knowledge, I would welcome it if any of my HoH followers want to share their experiences.)

**A sign of sensory issues that parents often miss is when a child complains about music being too loud—but has no problem listening to their own music at high volume. This is because music that is already familiar to the listener (and that the listener enjoys) is much easier for the brain to process, since it knows what pattern of sounds to expect. Loud music that they get to control can be soothing for people with sound issues, especially when it blocks out background noise and sensations. This is why repetitively playing the same songs can be a helpful form of stimming.

***(working on this blog, actually. since it’s my only source of income, my 2020 income tax return literally lists my occupation as ‘Tumblr Blogger.’ Oddly, my parent didn’t feel this achievement was worth including in the holiday family newsletter.)

bonus fun fact: Charles Babbage aka “father of the computer” may have been autistic and hypersensitive to sound. He definitely had a huge problem with public noise pollution, and spent his later year waging a war on street musicians (and organ grinders in particular).

(bc like, yeah. screw organ grinders.)

Sometimes when I’m out in public and the overhead music is particularly unbearable, I’ll take a moment to look up to the sky and scream out: “HE TRIED TO WARN US! THE FATHER OF COMPUTERS TRIED TO WARN US!!! we should have listened, sweet heaven we should have listened!”

except i don’t scream it, i say it very quietly under my breath

(i have issues with noise)

so yeah that is my short essay. and here is the ko-fi goal

k ciao i gotta go pick out glitter stickers for my headphones

#actuallyautistic #not a shitpost #holy shit how did i spend 3 hours writing this what even is my blog #this blog is supposed to be blue whale anxiety and uncomfortably sexy clown jokes #what am i doing #sensory processing disorder #sensory issues #mental health #actually autistic #NOTIFY ME OF ANY TYPOS #i proofread this 5 times my eyes weep an unceasing flood of blood and regret #adhd #actuallyadhd #autism #sensory problems

games ive been playing bc im a Gaymer™ (and some thoughts on them)

most recent update: october 20, 2022 added unpacking!!

games i’ve finished are above the cut, games i’m still in progress on are below so any trigger warnings on those are incomplete. please let me know if i missed any TWs on the completed games, and recommend some to me in the notes! if you need to know about a specific trigger for a specific game, send an ask/a dm/comment on this post! i gotchu!

TWs and commentary may contain spoilers. read at your own risk!

- What Remains Of Edith Finch (completed)

played on xbox

beautiful game

it’s well done and most textures are fucking flawlessly lit

my only issue is there are things that don’t come back that feel like they maybe should???

like, i was dicking around in front of the garage door before i went in on like my 3rd replay, trying to find things to look at that i missed the first few times, and then something clattered inside the garage and edith said “i heard something moving around inside the garage”

and like. holy shit?? holy shit. when i went in to look around there was nothing that had fallen over and nobody inside so uhhhh??

i Get that it’s a clever thing to make you go inside the garage.

i know.

but Still.

anyway wonderful game and its p short so aspiring streamers, this one is for you! its abt an hour nd a half/two hours worth of gameplay

TWs: death, grief, blood visuals, gun visuals, birth visuals(?? this one is more of a just in case), meds, alchohol, possible suicide (there’s no way to Know)

- Night In The Woods (completed)

played on xbox

this game is one of my favorites of all time

the characters are likable, the dialogue’s funny, the art style is SO damn cute, it has all these fun minigames, openly queer characters, catchy songs, a bit that might give you an extistential crisis, the works!!

it’s a really good game, my issue is there’s really no way to get everything.

you will Always miss something

the gameplay took me 12 hours to complete and i had watched playthroughs before so it’s a LONG game

but this is so high on the reccommended list

TWs: death, cultish behavior, christianity (this game is super cool about it tho, the pastor is a woman and she’s very “no matter what people believe in, i will help them”. yknow. like Actual christians), vomit, knives, derealization, depersonalization

- Knights and Bikes (completed)

played on xbox

this game is hella cute and it’s good to play with a friend! i played it once on my own and i’m currently playing it again with my sibling.

an issue with the multiplayer function is that it doesn’t splitscreen, once my sibling got stuck and we couldn’t progress onwards because the game wouldn’t let me walk too far away from her. makes sense i guess

the storyline is so cute and it reminds me of night in the woods(see above) someone in the comments of this post recommended it to me so💜💜💜 thank you.

all the game mechanics and race minigames are so good 10/10.

the artstyle? WONDERFUL. melza and nessie have the cutest little faces. i have a older sibling problem so they are now my younger siblings. i have adopted them.

captain honkers is my siblings favorite and she insists on stopping whatever plot is going on in order to feed and pet the goose.

nessie and melza are written like real kids and i applaud the devs and writers for that.

TWS: money issues, possession, ghosts, cuts and bruises that are kinda graphic but not that bad

look at this book i found!! it’s got cute art and everything!!! it’s a retelling of the story which i understand is not some people’s thing but honestly it’s great so far!

- Slime Rancher (story complete)

played on xbox

literally whoever developed this game went “so how cute can i make this” and then absolutely SMASHED that limit

i havent even finished the game yet but it’s adorable

my problem is how EASY it is to fall into the ocean and how confusing the map is

i keep getting lost so i wish i could put like,,,markers on the map?? or have the map tell me what slimes are in what region??

idk maybe i’m just dumb but i am very lost all of the time while playing this game

also the soundtrack is impeccable and it’s a very good game for chill streams

hey hi update i’ve finished the story part of the game. it ripped out my heart and stomped on it then wrapped it up in a pretty bow and gave it back to me. wtf.

TWs: there are monsters that try to eat you but you can opt out of having those spawn, flashing(dont stand too close to plort or food deposits if this is an issue for you! the little burst of light when you put something in tends to strobe!!!)

- Firewatch (complete)

played on pc

this game is absolutely hilarious

and beautiful!! its not necessarily realistic but everything has a style to it that makes my little gamer heart happy. i set a screenshot i took as my pc background and it looks very pretty

the music also really makes the game. it hardly ever shows up but when it does you notice!

everything is voice acted by the way, which sets up the game very well! i never once felt like they were reading from a script, and it made me laugh a ton, even when i was pretty scared.

this is kind of an extension to the TW list but if you struggle with paranoia and feelings of being watched, don’t play this game!! it relies very heavily on that mechanic to make you scared, which is good for horror but bad for people who deal with that every day of their lives. please be careful!

TWs: dementia, paranoia, death, animal death, corpses, cheating on a spouse (if you choose the right dialogue), fires, (brief) abuse mention

-emily is away (two storylines complete)

played on pc

honestly? not a huge fan of this one.

storyline 1: i chose to like. not stay talking to emily? it ended at 2006 if that makes a difference.

the entire game was just me going “so what is the most neurotypical answer i could give right now”

i like movement games so the solely text based game was Not as fun for me.

but whatever

ill probably play again and find out why everyone Really likes this game so much

okay storyline 2: i chose all the nastiest answers

wow shes not dating brad shes dating travis. weird.

also every time i insult her music taste i die a little inside thats so Mean

but its for resarch

i feel so BAD being mean to her wtf :((((

alright thats over and now i feel like a dick. thats enough emily for tonight i think

TWs: romantic breakup

-pikuniku(complete)

played on xbox

ever wanted to play a game where youre a jellybean with legs fighting against capitalism?

thats this

need a friend to take down the evil Sunshine Co.? its co-op! live your dreams of toppling capitalism with your best friend by your side

its pretty fun! if you like to have everything explained to you then this probably isnt right for you but thats ok

its a cute cartoonish style, very simplistic. like a less detailed night in the woods or knights and bikes! and yall know thats my JAM

lots of little side quests to do so enjoy running around the open world doing whatever the hell you want

TWs: at the very beginning the villagers are very prejudiced and scared of you, since youre a different species then the rest of them

-unpacking(complete)

played on xbox

ok this was cute

my little sister begged me to get it so she could watch me play it, since the youtube videos she was watching weren’t getting uploaded to youtube kids fast enough.

very soothing, i put on a youtube playlist as i was unpacking this persons houses throughout their lifetime and it was calming but also very rattling especially the college chapter (since thats a thing for me soon at the time of writing this)

the ending couple chapters i was like trying to puzzle together if the persons lover was a girl or not and results inconclusive, could be a guy very comfortable in his masculinity

ok while checking some stuff for the tws i figured out that its a girl!! yay wlw lets go

TWs: theres a chapter, chapter 2010, that sorta seems like domestic violence? the infamous diploma-under-the-bed chapter, where you can’t put basically any of your stuff anywhere, and after this chapter, lots of the characters things are damaged or missing, as if there was a big fight. could be reading way too much into it tho

- Spiritfarer (incomplete)

played on xbox

this game. this game. ive seen Nobody talk about it but it’s so cute!!

stella, the player character is ADORABLE, she’s so damn happy to be doing that job and hanging out with her friends!

its so cute her animations are my favorite thing!!

this game tackles grief and loss, mourning, death, and fear with stella and her cat, dandelion

its such a cute game and its based in greek mythology, you just get to steer a ship around and help out lost souls!!

also an adorable game for chill streams

TWs: death, watching loved ones die (heavily implied stella took care of her best friend in her last moments), ghosts, jellyfish(this isnt a typical tw but they feature prominently as someone’s greatest fear in the game so), storms

-Raji: An Ancient Epic (incomplete)

played on xbox

okay i’m not even out of the training stage yet and this game is a FUCKING DELIGHT.

music? 10/10. story? 100/10. graphics? 1000000000000/10.

the cutscenes are all done in this amazing puppetry style and aaaa!!!

if there is one game on this list i really want you to play, it’s raji.

it’s all about hindu mythology, it’s so so easy to follow along(even for me, who admittedly doesn’t know too much about most religions) and i adore it.

listen go download raji right now. i will fucking WAIT. just. please.

it deserves a lot of love and support

TWs: demons

- Journey To The Savage Planet (incomplete)

played on xbox

okay this one is significantly less wholesome than most of the ones here

i have maybe an hour put into this game?? and there have been 3 drug jokes, 4 different swear words, a heavy implication that you are a slave for capitalistic labor, and something that i’m like 90% certain was a sex joke.

so yeah

t’s a pretty game, but honestly it’s really just a horror game disguised as a survival game

the entire time i’m exploring i just keep singing “🎵i hate souuuuunddddsss, if i round this corner and hear a sound i will dieeeee, all sounds can shut up forever please and thank youuuuuu🎵”

so if that doesnt give you an example of what my mental state is playing this game idk what will

TWs: uh everything listed above, and also terrifying flying squid

- Oxenfree(incomplete)

played on xbox

i’ve watched a play through of this one already but shhhhhhh we don’t talk about that (also its not like i remember what happens anyway)

anyway i LOVE the art style.

it’s like a more simplistic version of night in the woods and y’all know that game is my Jam.

can you all tell gravity falls is my bread and butter because all my favorite games are about creepy towns and weird creatures

i’m not far into it and so far my only drawback is the clunky dialogue.

it just. it sounds Off. i don’t know how else to put it.

i like the radio function a whole lot though

plus the concept is sick as hell it’s literally the dialogue as the only thing holding this game back and not even by that much!!

TWs: grief? it’s been a while since i played i need to head back

- Hollow Knight (incomplete)

played on xbox

i’m honestly not sure about this one.

i’m notoriously bad at platforming games, plus i have no idea the story of hollow knight.

ive played for about 5 hours and i have zero progress.

this game is one that i would only reccommend to people who Know that they’re good at platformers and also are good at remembering where theyre going.

i’m still playing this one and struggling

TWs: all the npcs look like cartoonized bugs, and you have to fight your own spirit whenever you die

- Outer Wilds (incomplete)

played on xbox

this game is goooood.

it’s hard to do, but it’s a space exploration game and it’s Hella fun.

you do have to respawn alllll the way back at your starting planet and it basically rips away any progress you made, which makes sense for the story but damn it’s annoying.

the aliens are cute tho

and the soundtrack is still the only game soundtrack i’ve actually spent money on, because it’s good!!

if you do decide to play this, i wish you luck!!

TWs: none?? none i think??

- Unraveled (incomplete)

played on xbox

i’m so ashamed of this game.

it’s the cutest, most cottagecore-y game in the fucking World, and i rage-quit it

i fucking rage quit unraveled

this is my greatest shame

i’m actually gonna go look up a playthrough as soon as i’m done, because i want to see the rest of this game.

i’m stuck on like stage 3

anyway its a good game it’s just another platformer which my fingers do not appreciate

TWs: death, dementia, being alone???

#what remains of edith finch #night in the woods #slime rancher #spiritfarer #journey to the savage planet #hollow knight #outer wilds #unraveled #knights and bikes #games #video games #game development #raji: an ancient epic #oxenfree #firewatch #emily is away #pikuniku #unpacking #ori games

9 people I want to get to know better:

Tagged by @lethotep a smidgy ago, so lets do this

favourite colour: Blue, with purple as a close second - blue edges out nowadays bc I find more clothes I like in a wider variety of blues. Purple, not so much (it’s trickier, which is a shame)

currently reading: The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman. Went to 2nd & Charles this weekend and found this as a STUNNING semi-illustrated book (art by Elise Hurst) with glossy thick pages - it’s honestly the most beautiful and luxurious book I’ve bought in forever, and one of the more recent ones I’ve bought brand new (the library has reopened their monthly basement bookstore, ehehe). $28 smackaroos, but gods this satisfies my texture desires so goddamn spectacularly. Here’s the book if you wanna gander a little.

last song: Lend Me Your Voice, from the Belle OST. I adore this soundtrack like crazy, but wasn’t able to see the movie the one weekend we had showing it in town bc I had an allergic reaction which covered my body in hives and made my throat and face swell up and shut (allergist appt in May and two OTCs taken daily until the week before my appt, gods help me I don’t even know what caused this and won’t know until the appt TT_TT). And since I can’t find Belle on the High Internet Seas fcuking ANYWHERE, all I have is the soundtrack until fcuking MAY AGAIN 😭😭😭

last movie: Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. AKA, the movie that inspired that meme of adding “Title 2: Electric Boogaloo” to any silly or ridiculous sequel/sequel ideas that exist. It was so fcukin BORING, and felt like an anesthetized after-school episode of Saved by the Bell. Apparently they also filmed and released it in the same year as its predecessor, which explains... a LOT about this movie, actually. TLDR it ain’t good, nor is it even bad-good. Woof.

last series: The old Fleischer Studio Superman cartoons - surprisingly decent animation with a very gutsy and determined Lois Lane who saves herself a good chunk of the time, and a Superman that fights corruption in a few decently written episodes. BUT it’s also hideously racist towards... pretty much anyone who isn’t white, actually. There’s the WWII era racism towards Japan, but also African tribes, Egyptians, Native Americans - and there are entire episodes centered around Superman fighting reaaaaally awful groups of racist stereotypes accompanied by their equally racist champions/animal defenders. It ain’t great is what I’m sayin.

sweet, spicy or savoury: if I had to pick just one? Probs sweet. What can I say, I love my frozen coffees

coffee or tea: See above - Coffee coffee coffee babyyy~ But cinnamon plum tea is the absolute shit, 10/10.

And now to tag.... @sylphidine, @ksclaw, @returning-on-tuesday, @gretchensinister, @emeraldembers, @linddzz, @tejoxys, @random-sedan, @everystarstorm annnnnd anyone else who’d like to do these! Consider this an open invite.

Stuff I’ve found during my ~adventures~ in SimPE

I’ve been working since last year on defaulting all of EA’s ep/sp food. I’m improving textures etc (+ making them all vegan >:-D) and through this I’ve found some things I feel the need to share:

1. one of EA’s “foodplatterappetizer” has dog poo in it:

like? what even is that

2. EA accidentally wrote “ingrediants” instead of “ingredients” on the mac n cheese texture:

3. when working on my mail delivery default (which I’m hopefully going to share soon) I noticed that there’s English on one of the letters:

“certified mail“

4. this is legit EA’s onion texture:

I mean I knew it was bad, but that’s just plain sad..

5. there’s a texture for a single pea:

in what situation is this even being used?? I have so many questions

6. it seems EA originally planned on adding some sort of neighborhood “walking sim”:

lifo file:

7. WHAT EVEN IS THIS:

HELP.

8. huh:

???

9. what is this and why do I feel like I’ve seen it before:

10. and oh, nearly forgot, mby I’m late to the party but the bowls when sims are making cereals are completely white:

and taking the texture from the milk cartoon, like this:

idk why I found this so funny. I mean, EA know how to repository stuff, why didn’t they just keep the bowls as a separate group and then referenced them to their texture? Why choose to do it this way?? So that’s what I did bc it bothered me. Unfortunately I won’t put it up for download just yet, it will be shared when I’m done with defaulting all of EA’s food. I have more fixes to share..

#adventures in simpe #just me rambling #perhaps everybody already knows about all the things i mentioned here #then it's just me being late to the party haha :p

I love your new mobile header 🥰😍 I’m curious, how did you make it? Also your header graphics are always so amazing 🤩

okay so this is gonna be a half tutorial half dive into my psyche as i explain exactly how my header came into the world so for starters i knew i wanted to do a new years theme last year i tried doing like a confetti type thing blah blah blah didn’t love it so i simply typed in “new years header” into tumblr dot com and looked at what others have done most of them were like “may 2017 not suck✨” and um i believe in jinxes so um nope and really the only motif i vibed with was the clock so i was like okay clock meaning i should also do a piper-centric one for like. obvious reasons. time witch. and i found a clock i liked by googling clock png and then for the background i went to unsplash and searched texture i grabbed this one first

and worked with that i took the clock and put gold foil over it

which is super simple u just need to click clipping mask and then i went to pinterest to find a piper i already had a yellow vibe going w i liked bc my nye color associates are black navy and gold and i saw the promo photos for s5 in the gold dresses then i specifically googled that photoshoot and grabbed the largest size photo i could find erased out piper then put her on the thing next step was layering i wanted her to kinda blend into the background so the settings that i ended up w was multiply 65% screen 24% lighten 23% so the darker blend on the bottom that really works into the background and then some lightenting layers to really make her brighter and not like hidden in the shadows

and then i wasn’t jiving with the background so i ended up grabbing a couple more and then i ended up blending all three of then together with the paint on the bottom the bricks above on linear burn (with a semi opaque mask on piper’s face bc i didn’t want it too bricky) and then the third layer on darken above it and then i had become attached to the champagne color i flattened out the image using a color balance layer an exposure layer and then got back to the color i wanted with a hue/saturation layer specifically on colorize mode

and then i added a levels layer and two color balance layers on the top of everything to make everything really even and coherent also to steer the shadows more to the reds from the greens and then as a bonus round i was like. i’m gonna give piper angel wings. bc i wanted to. so once again i put the gold foil clipping mask on them and then i wanted them like Super Subtle i wanted to them to be like kinda an easter egg if u noticed them so they are luminosity 10% color 10% in a smart object w a dust scratches smart filter on em and put that smart filter on divide at 25% opacity and then copied the wings w lum10color10 so + d/sfilter ad but that on overlay 39% opacity. wallah.

if you want like a more in depth actual Tutorial feel free to shoot me a message i can go through more a technical explanation 💞💕 happy new year!

Okay so today we have a really substantial harvest, huge cabbage savoy, big tomatoes, lots of green beans, carrots, garlic, and a tiny cherry tomato. I'm going to do something I rarely do, make a lunch containing side meals!

Let's start with cabbage, I'm taking off the big beautiful leaves, I'm not going to mention how many bugs were hiding in there because it does not matter!!!! They were thrown out of the window and are out of my life.

I cut it up in smally pieces, I didn't use all of it because the head is so big, it could provide me with 2 more meals.

Even all the outer leaves + 1 third of the inside is enough for a full pot. I'm cooking these in water for few minutes only, so they get very soft and pliant, and then! I'm going to cut them in even tinier pieces. As tiny as possible. I want tiny cabbage. While it's cooking, lets deal with potatoes and green beans.

I'm so glad we all as society stopped peeling potatoes, for some reason as a kid I thought we HAD to, but apparently all these hours of potato peeling were for nothing bc peels are delicious lol. Without peeling it takes 2 minutes or less to cut up potatoes and go to town with them. 10/10. Also that green bowl is just leftovers to be composted or used for other purposes.

I got the cabbage out of the pot, to put potatoes in that same pot, covered them with water, and then I also put green beans on top because I wanted them steamed. When it all boiled I decided carrots should get steamed as well, and added them on top. I wrapped this up in a towel and left it for about 25 minutes. Now back to cabbage!

I forgot to take pictures of me cutting it into tiny bits, but believe me they're very tinily cut.

I put them in a bowl and you can see I added some bread crumbs, and I'm also adding flour, salt, garlic, onions, I cut the carrots in tiny pieces and added them too, and I kept adding flour bit by bitt until it absorbed most of the moisture and kept the entire mix together.

Then I'm making them into lil cabbage savoy patties and coating them in bread crumbs! They could also be dipped into aquafaba and then in bread crumbs. But I did not remember to defrost aquafaba at this point. So it's frozen in my freezer. So it's not a part of this recipe. And it never will be. Bread crumbs alone are enough. Moving on!

These are soo pretty when done! They're brown-greenish and very tasty! I fry them in only a bit of oil, I keep adding it every time I flip them so they still get the good texture, without absorbing too much.

At this point the potatoes and green beans were just about done. I picked the green beans out, and put them in the pan to get that leftover oil and spices on it. It's funny how we have fried patties here but most of the protein in this meal will still come from green beans. I put some margerine and parsley leaves and salt on the potatoes, to make mashed potatoes.

Remember that tiny tomato from the start? It founds its way into my salad. Bless.

In conclusion, garden food is great, cooking from garden harvest is fulfilling and wholesome, cabbage savoy is great, and listen I know I took a fancy picture on my kitchen table, with my lil arrangement of dried flowers that dried on accident bc I left them there for too long, but I am still a millennial, so be aware I'm taking this plate to my bed and eating it there while looking at videos on my laptop, like any other person would.

#cooking #is this recipe?#cooking from garden #garden produce #cabbage savoy #savoy patties #i had enough of food for 2 days from this lmao #i ate all potatoes and green beans same day but 8 patties!!#was enough for me to have sandwiches the next day #ah so good

Do you know how to cope with gener dysphoria because of the three friends I have I’m only out to two and one’s cis and as far as I know the other one doesn’t experience dysphoria so I’m just sitting here trying to forget I exist :,)

Unfortunately I am all too familiar with that experience, so I've got you covered.

>dysphoria hoodie- any good old hoodie or item of clothing that's familiar and you find comfort in helps for the days when you're just really not feeling it.

>experiment a little- it doesn't have to be big for it to feel good. Whether it means adding a beanie you dont usually wear, a pin, earrings/gauges, makeup (there are tutorials on how to make your face look either more masc or fem online, whichever you prefer), rings, anything. If it gives you some sense of comfort or even euphoria, do it.

>thrift stores- second hand clothing is cheap, often soft and worn in so you wont have to worry about the textures and structure of an item of clothing changing bc its already like that. Theres a lot of room to experiment with different styles or just get cheap ass oversized flanels and tshirts.

>music- I've found that there are some songs/bands that can make you feel really good and can be almost gender affirming. Whether that's a more mellow song about dysphoria, or mother mother, or the front bottoms, whatever. (Side note: 10/10 recommend Dysphoria by Saint Wellesley if you're looking for something a little more mellow, and heres the playlist I made for gender affirming shit- it's called They-Whore Wednesday on spotify)

>If possible, surround yourself with people who will validate you. Even if its 10 seconds of conversation with someone on the internet. I know of many people who have sent anons saying "hey, can you please type out a sentence or two using [name] and [pronouns] for me?" And I've heard back from them once or twice and apparently it really helps.

>take some time for self care. For some people that looks like bathing and face masks, but sometimes it feels bad and it doesnt help at all when you struggle with dysphoria. That's okay. Take the time to eat, drink, brush your teeth, if you haven't changed your shirt in more than a day then do so (even if that's just the one under your hoodie or it means putting one on under it).

>Once again, surround yourself with media and communities that support you. TV shows (POSE, Steven Universe, Queer Eye, even just shows you used to watch that bring you comfort), movies, music, books, fanfiction, etc etc. Anything that either 1) brings you comfort, 2) has characters that you can identify with, or 3) provides that sense of community.

>to add onto that; block out all the transphobic nonsense online for a while. Even if it's through a reaction video or someone sharing it and being like, "this is fucked up!!!" It still hurts to see the origin of that stuff, and you have every right to step away from that. You are not obligated to take down and/or educate exclusionists and transphobes.

>Fuck around with packing/tucking/binding/whatever and see if you like it (please for the love of god be safe while binding or tucking)

>remember that you're allowed to sit in that discomfort if you need. If dysphoria's telling you you gotta sit underneath piles and piles of blankets and just kind of exist for a while, then goddamnit you should let yourself do so.

>that being said, make sure you do get up and around every once in a while. Go out and get some sun if at all possible, make sure you're taking care of your bodily needs.

>hold your head up and walk whatever way feels affirming, whatever gives you confidence and fake it a lil til you make it. Ik it seems weird or untrue, but it helps.

>use lower or higher voices. There are many tutorials to learn how to speak in a higher/lower voice, just make sure you do a bit of research to make sure it isnt hurting you.

If anyone has anything I may have missed, please do add on.

#apologies for the fact that my playlist needs reorganizing #i hope this helps anon!#anon #ask #dysphoria /

THIS TUTORIAL IS SO LATE , but here we go ! it’s below the read more bc it gets rather long , but i promise it’s much simpler than it seems ! i am using my own psd for this , so it’s how i make icons using my psds , & it is in no way representative how everyone makes icons. i make icons as needed so i edited each cap individually & make icons from there.

1 ) step one. open up your caps.

2 ) step two. open up your psd. we’re gonna rearrange the psd a bit so it is easier to drag the psd over multiple caps.

open up the folders.

select the opt textures , psd , icon folder , & the two gvrph layers.

move them outside of all the folders so we can drag them by themselves later ( alternatively , you can always just move all your resized icons into the icon folder but doing so means you’ll lose the ability to easily adjusted the psd for each cap which is why i do each icon individually ).

3 ) step three. move the psd file down to the bottom so it’s in an easier location to grab.

4 ) step four. smart sharpen. go to filter —> smart sharpen & then follow these settings. for everyone icon you make afterwards , use the keyboard shortcut for your last filter on your device ( shown when you hover over filter ) to quickly smart sharpen each cap.

5 ) step five. add psd. select opt textures & psd. drag them over to your screencap.

6 ) step six. adjust lighting as needed. adjust coloring as needed. okay , so i picked a cap i knew didn’t need a lot of help , so for this cap all i had to do was open up the lightning adj folder , select the brightness / contrast layer labelled “ adjust this ” & move around the markers a bit. however , you could also do this by clicking the screencap & adding a curve layer right above the cap itself to adjust the lightning.

if you’re having issues with a scene being too blue / red , open up the coloring adj folder & mess around with the selective color & color balance layers found in it. if none of those do the trick , try adding a color balance layer above the cap. if a cap is too red , slide the marker to the blue to balance it out. too blue ? slide it over to red & yellow. color balance works using the color wheel , so if you know what color is opposite on the color wheel of the color you’re trying to get rid of , move the marker closer to that until it balances out ( if this doesn’t make sense , i can make a tutorial on how to color balance caps later ).

7 ) step seven. merge layers.

8 ) step eight. right click your cap. select layer from the background. click okay ( not needed if your cap isn’t locked ).

9 ) step nine. crop. as i said , i’m using my psd for this , so this is how i get my icon ready to put the border on. select the rectangular marquee tool , change your selection style to fixed ratio , & for this border i need the icon to by sized on a 50x65 scale.

select what area you want your icon to be.

crop.

10 ) step ten. resizing the icon. click image size ( i use shortcut keys & actions to do these last few steps so it goes faster ).

change the width to 50 & height to 65.

go to canvas size.

change the canvas to 70 x 70.

11 ) step eleven. adding the border. so select the borders folder , icon psd folder , & the folder with the layer mask.

drag them over to the icon file.

move the cap into the folder with the layer mask.

12 ) step twelve. now all we have to do is save. you can merge all the layers but that’s not necessary. click save as.

make sure that your file format is in png otherwise you won’t get the transparent bg. also as ps is being wonky on macs atm , make sure your file extension in the name is correct & matches the file format.

13 ) step thirteen. tada. you now have a lovely icon !

Hello! Could you share some psds, our tips etc that you use to edit? :0 Thanks in advance!

hi!! i’d be happy to share some tips!! this might be a bit long, i think i went a bit overboard…… i hope it helps a bit though… !!! also im assuming you have access to a program that can open psd files. and i use photoshop so i’m not sure this will be very helpful unless you have access to it or a program with similar capabilities..

i’ve made up a few examples (using the so what mv bc i just edited that) of how i usually go about editing, you can find the file here but i’ll explain a bit here as well!

0 : psd & general stuff

i feel kinda weird about this but i’ve included my psd in the attached file... if you’re going to use it i dont mind but please don’t say that you made it yourself, and a credit would be nice but i guess it’s not strictly necessary.

first of all, i pretty much always use the same psd with very minor adjustments. i do this to try to maintain a similar look to all of my edits & because i like this psd (i’ve been evolving it with minor adjustments every so often for years…). i always edit below the psd (as in the psd is applied over all the layers of my editing) and i usually edit with the psd on (i used to edit and then put the psd on after and that took so much longer because i couldnt see how the psd was affecting the way the image looked as i was working..)

this is basically how all of the psd files for my graphics look (usually with more descriptive names rather than numbers though), where each of the numbered groups is a graphic panel...

1 : colour correction

i basically start off by trying to normalise(?) the image as much as possible (trying to return the colours to what they would be naturally, without colour correction/filtering…)

first i use curves!!! curves are a lifesaver for me. most images/screencaps will have some kind of colour correction / filtering, i use curves to (somewhat) remove those effects. if you go here, i use the method described as “remove colour cast using auto colour” (except i basically ignore the steps 4/5)! sometimes this works, sometimes it doesnt… if the result isnt quite right i lower the opacity on the curves layer until it looks right to my eye.

if the image is still too bright/dark i add another curves layer with auto set to enhance brightness and contrast! and i again use opacity to make this look more natural!

if the image is still looking unnatural (usually this occurs on especially dark images, and the problem areas are usually on faces…) i use colour fill layers set to soft light or colour balance layers to adjust the colours until the image looks more natural? you can see this in group 8. yves face has a blue discolouration on it (if you untick the colour fill & balance layers you should see what im talking about), to counteract this i added a yellow/red layer and set it to soft light & then added a colour balance layer to make the image a bit more yellow/green. overall the image doesnt look exactly natural, but the colours are more smooth and i’d probably lean into the yellow/green tinge if i was making a graphic with this image!

2 : selecting subjects

there are so so so many ways to extract people or objects from images. i vary the method i use depending on the image in question and the effect im going for. i’m not going to explain every method because you can google “how to cut out an image in photoshop” and get some pretty good tutorials on how to do it in lots of different ways.

recently i’ve been using “select subject” (described here). you’ll likely have to clean up the selection using other tools such as lasso & selection tools, and it helps if you cut out a smaller square/area around the subject before trying to use the select subject tool. theres an example of this in group 9.

another method i use is selecting a range of colours from an image using “colour range” (described here). i use this to both change colours in an image and to remove backgrounds that are of a (relatively) uniform colour. you can see an example of this in group 10, i isolated the fire from the dark background by selecting the shadows & then inverting the selection but because olivia hye was also quite dark i had to select her separately.

theres no real easy or quick way to cut out things, it takes time and effort if you want it to look neat. but it really depends on how you want it to look and basically just practicing is the most important thing… over time it will get more straightforward and you will understand how to cut out different things depending on the image..

3 : colours & textures

probably my favourite part of editing! the fun bit!!

i’m not going to explain much of this right now bc i’m exhausted & i’m not sure how detailed this should be. but if you have specific questions i’ll be happy to try to answer them!!

anyway here are some basic notes on my editing style:

if i’m editing a music video i try to use other caps as textures, you can see this in groups 11, 14 & 15.

i like to layer different caps as seen in group 12

i use colour fill layers set to different blending modes (i mainly use soft light, color/hue, screen and multiply) as seen in basically all of the examples

i havent really put in any examples of this here but i use selective colour & hue/saturation adjustment layers to change/enhance specific colours

i have this one texture that i put on basically all of my edits, i’m not sure why but i like the way it looks... its in the “PSD + TXT” folder and its set to soft light & i put it on top of the psd bc otherwise the psd messes with the smoothness of the texture

(fyi,,, i shrunk the image size just so the file size wouldnt be too big and so the sitting kimlip is bigger than the cap it came from bc of that; the mv was in 4k so the caps were HUGE)

4 : other tips/notes......?

don’t get discouraged if you find it difficult at first

i’ve been editing for years and i’m still not that great and i find it hard sometimes but i do it for fun. i make probably 3 times as many things as i end up posting because i enjoy it and because i use it as an artistic outlet.

i hope someone found this useful? i think i went way overboard but i thought it was better to be thorough !! anyway i hope you have fun editing ! its always great to have more creators in the tumblr community!

hi! just wondering if you've done a coloring tutorial for how you colored the jason art by robles? it looks so amazing! 💞

i havent no, it’s pretty similar to my other tutorial here but a bit more extensive? idk doing another it’s fun

1. okay first of all i had to clean up the art bc it was like brownish and not clean enough to um color? so again, first u gotta make it black and white. I use ps5 in spanish so i’m using as many pics as i can as i’m not sure the english words lol

2. I’m not redoing this piece, just walking back my steps in the original one so sorry if anything is sssslighly different. Here, like many other steps, you gotta decide for yourself the settings and what looks better for you, as the art is different in each case and might need different settings. The point here is to make it as white / black as possible so it’s easier to color cleanly, but without making it super saturated (which could happen)

3. that looks fine, but it’s.. not as clean sharp white/black as it could be. So go down here (idk why it wont let me screenshot it >_>) and add a levels / niveles layer

4. looks like this

5. and again you gotta play with it yourself, testing what looks good for you. the goal in my case is to make it as clean as possible. My settings were 51 / 0,85 / 255

6. okay so next, there was a patch of like light that i didn’t like - the flash of the camera i think? the light of the room where the pic was taken? idk. So i wanted to get that to match the rest of the image. I selected it (here i saved the wrong screenshot LOL it ended up being a bigger selection)

7. and again down down there where we picked levels, we go to color selection i think?

8. and i used neutral +40 to even that patch out

9. as you can see it clearly looks like a square and there are parts that were just fine like they were

so with an eraser, idk what dureza is in english sorry but make it a low number, maybe even lower the opacity, erase around the borders of the darker patch to make it even?

i’m gonna be honest with you i didnt notice how uneven it still looked till now LMAO but its fine it doesnt have to be perfect, we arent artists we’re just making do

9. Okay i added another color selection or w/e layer, this time on black like this, and another one in white (that i didnt screenshot sorry) but was on -100.

10. OKAY NOW THE FUN PART!!! COLORS! i went over it on my original tutorial so i won’t be redoing it lol but its basically that + i added freckles which i genuinely can’t remember which brush it was sorry! but i found on deviantart.

11. I added this psd

12. now what i think made the piece pop up were the textures i used. First this one on Hard Light 9%

then i copied that one and put it hard light 10% (NO dont ask why i didnt just use one on 19%. the inner machinations of my mind are a mystery)

and then this one on overlay 50%

and that’s pretty much it?

i didn’t go over the actual colors because it’s literally what i do in all my pieces nothing different, but if u want to see each layer lmk and i’ll edit the post and add them.

hope this was hopeful.

#Anon #tutorial #loooong post is long #long post #instead of keep on studying i did this FUCK okay back to my geography hole

Fermentation of Winter Kimchi

My Chosen Food : Dong-chi-mi(동치미)

Finally, it’s time to ferment something and I am from the country with all kinds of fermented foods. The problem is, one of the most popular fermented food, kimchi, is too obvious and other types of jut-ggal(Fermented Seafood) is really hard to make anywhere because of typical smell during the process of fermentation. So, I thought about what I should make for a few days and that was the time when the weather started to get chilly. And there is a type of kimchi eaten during the wintertime called Dong-Chi-Mi which means ‘kimchi of winter’.

A quick menu quiz related to Dong-chi-mi during winter time. What is the best way to enjoy Dong-chi-mi during winter?? 1. Just eat it with rice as side dish. 2. Have it with baked yams. 3. Use the juice as a base stock for winter cold noodles. 4. All of above.

The answer is at the end of the post.

My Fermentation Method with Documentation

I could say basic method of Dong-chi-mi fermentation is quite typical, but each region in Korea has its own way of adding ingredients. I started off with a book called “Royal Cuisine from Joseon Dynasty(14C~19C)” which I got from “Institute of Korea Royal Cuisine” last year because I wanted to introduce something that is not widely known outside of Korea. However, after reading the recipe of Dong-chi-mi made in palace, I gave up for 2 reasons. First reason was, there were several ingredients which I did not understand even in Korean and I had no clue what they were. Second reason was that even if I knew what it was, they are not easy to find here in Canada. However, I could use this recipe as a base and mix with other recipes from different recipe books.

I thought of asking my mom for my family’s recipe but then, I remembered that even though Dong-chi-mi is very common in Korea, my family enjoyed more of white version of kimchi rather than Dong-chi-mi. So, I decided to search the National Folk Museum of Korea and luckily, they did have some more explanation about Dong-chi-mi. They summarized the definition of Dong-chi-mi as follows-“Dong-chi-mi (동치미) is a type of kimchi made from large pieces of white radish matured inside a full jar of salted water. In the section on the eleventh lunar month in the “Dongguk Sesigi (동국세시기, A Record of Seasonal Customs in Korea, 1849), the dish is listed under the name dong-chim, or kimchi made with small radish roots.” (Information from National Folk Museum of Korea, http://folkency.nfm.go.kr/en/topic/detail/3655 )

Dong-chi-mi is known as one of basic figure of kimchi and its record goes back to 5~6 century during Shilla dynasty(BC 1C ~ AD 10C). So, let’s bring up some ancient flavour of Korea back here in Canada!!

Dong-chi-mi Recipe & Processes

Ingredients

Process

1. Get a batch of white radish.

2. Take off all the stems and wash the radish clean.

3. You would not want to eat something hairy. Trim ends and cut off whiskers.

4. Get a stainless steel or plastic bowl and pour salt in. Roll radish side to side and let it sit for 6 hours.

5. After a few hours, waters will drain out from the radishes. Take them out and have them ready aside. To confess what had happened, I fell asleep that night and all the radishes had sat in the salt water for overnight!! (Hope it is not too salty...)

6. Have other ingredients ready. I just made carrot to flower cuts to look better.

7. Place radish in a big sized container over 6 Litre.

8. Cut pears in 1/8 size.

9. Pears in.

10. Cut apples in 1/8 size and place them in.

11. Cut lemon in 1/8 size and place them in.

12. Cut green onions in angles. Looking back from now, I think it would be better to add 2~3 more green onions or 6~7 chives.

13. Place green onion, carrots, garlic, ginger into the container add water. Some people use light salt water but I used fresh water this time.

14. We are in Canada!! I could have used Sprite but I added Ginger Ale for just a bit of sweetness.

15. Wrap it with plastic and put it away in your refrigerator or kimchi refrigerator if you have one.

After One Month of Fermentation in Refrigerator

After one month of fermentation(Oct. 22nd - Nov. 19th), I wanted to check and see how it was going. So, here’s what I have found out.

- To my surprise, nothing much is seen from the dong-chi-mi. - Dong-chi-mi is a type of kimchi which you drink the juice(or broth) with the radish and if the juice is too salty, usually you add more water before serving.

- Let’s take a look at the radish.

- Slice them.

- Have a bite!! and ooh~!! it is still not ready to eat!! It has good flavour but the juice and the radish is quite salty. I think it will be much better in December or January.

- But we cannot wait too long. Let’s try to make the clock go a bit faster. - Get those sliced ones in a small container with a 1/4 piece of pear and apple and add fresh water of 200 ml.

- Seal the container and I will put it in ordinary refrigerator. - Let’s see the result this weekend!!

Review of Dong-chi-mi

As I had said earlier, my recipe is combination of 3 to 4 recipes including royal cuisine recipe found in the book. Even considering the fact that you cannot get every ingredients ready here in Canada, I think it would have been even better with some more ingredients added. From the tasting 2 nights ago, I could say 3 things should be considered for the better taste next time.

1. Fermentation time takes longer than expected. Thinking the fact that kimchi is a food to eat for over a year, it may need a bit of more time to be served. Or maybe I should not put it in the refrigerator right after they are done.

2. Add more water for the base or maybe even use cold vegetable stock. I used 4 litre of fresh water and to me, it is still a bit salty. Dong-chi-mi is supposed to give the person freshness of cool radish juice, I think I could add some more water for the better taste.

3. I should add some more ingredients such as, - chilli pepper : it could give a bit of spiciness and better looks. + you can eat it - green onion : I should add more and give more flavour into it.

I could not do the exact sensory evaluation because it is not ready to eat yet. But I could finish it In short for the radish and the broth from 2 night ago. - Smell : It was still fresh but had a bit of kimchi odour, - Texture(Touch) : Firm but good enough to chew. - Colour : Colours have not faded away yet. - Taste : Can sense the good flavour but not ready to be serve and a bit salty. - Sound : Very crunchy chewing sound, thanks to the texture.

I really want to try dong-chi-mi with yam and cold noodles which I have not had a chance to for over a decade. Oh, so the answer from the first quiz is #4, all of above. I guess most of you might have figured it out already.

Now...How should I eat this dong-chi-mi??

The 100 Ask Game

I was tagged by the wonderful @thehundredtimesobsessed forever ago (or what feels like it, but I’m finally getting around to it today.

1. What Station on the Ark would you be from?

Probably Agro. My mom’s side of the family definitely has a green thumb.

2. What would you get arrested for on the Ark?

Umm...theft?

3. Would you take off your wristband when you landed on the ground?

No. No, I would not.

4. What would the Necklace Finn would make for you look like? (Clarke: deer/Raven: a raven duh…)

DRAGON! Dragons are my favorite. Followed by red pandas, but I feel like a dragon would be better (I already own a few dragon necklaces).

5. If you could resurrect any MINOR character who would it be?

Roan kom Azgeda - I miss him. <<< Same. Possibly Wells, but I became much more attached to Roan (probably because he had more episodes)

6. Create a squad by of 5 characters to go on missions with. Who are they?

Bellamy, Clarke, Raven, Monty, and Murphy. (This was basically pick your five favorite characters for me...)

7. What Grounder Clan would you belong to?

Podakru - the Lake People...I’m just going on that based on where I live, i.e. a place where there are lakes

8. What would your name be in Trigedasleng? (example: Octavia=Okteivia…just make it up!)

Shilbi, I think that’s what they’d do with it. I literally looked up to see if they even had a “sh” sound in their language; right when I was about to lose hope and resigning myself to “Silbi” or the like, I found a phrase with “sh”.

9. Thoughts on Finn? Some people hate him, and others love him, so I’m curious

I didn’t like him from the beginning. I didn’t hate him initially, but he got two people killed yet survived his own idiocy or taking off his seat belt. I thought he was going to be a detriment to their survival because he would take stupid unnecessary risks to show off.

10. Be honest. How willing would you have been to take the chip without knowing all the horrible things it does?

Probably not. My dad yells and me and my mom because we always need answers to motivations and the why of things. I don’t think I would put something in my body without fully knowing what it is and the ramifications of taking it.

11. What character do you relate to most?

I want to say Harper, but also some Clarke. In Harper, I see a lot of the traits I like about myself; in Clarke, I see a lot of the traits I don’t like about myself.

12. What character do you like the least?

This is difficult...I feel like it’s a cop out to say one of the villains of the show, but it’d probably be Cage Wallace. I don’t know who it’d be out of the people who are still alive.

13. Describe your delinquent outfit. (Would you wear something like Murphy’s jacket with the spikey red shoulder patch or have a trademark like Jasper’s goggles? Be creative, yet practical)

Charcoal grey jeans with a forest green v-neck t-shirt that has those criss-crossed strips of fabric, a dark brown leather jacket, and brown combat boots.

14. Favorite type of mutant animal?

...I don’t know...a mutant fox?

15. What would your job be on the Ark?

Probably like historian, archives, or teacher or something (based on my real life career path).

16. Would you have willingly pumped Ontari’s heart if Abby asked?

Yeah, I’d do what I have to. Probably would be admiring the ceiling as I did it, but I’d do it.

17. If Lexa wasn’t Heda, but she was still alive then who would have made the best commander?

I don’t know. I feel like it there was a more ruthless, battle ready heda, the 100 (and the rest of the Ark) would have been in a worse position.

Wait! An answer came to me when I was looking at question twenty: Lincoln! My friend and I liked to joke that Lincoln was one of the few characters with a head on his shoulders and realistic ideas and expectations for relations.

18. How would you act if you ate the hallucinogenic nuts like Jasper and Monty?

I’d probably just be giggling, at EVERYTHING.

19. How would you have dealt with Charlotte’s crime? A more John Murphy approach or Bellamy Blake approach?

Definitely a more Bellamy Blake approach.

20. Who should have been the Chancellor, if anyone?

Monty. Monty is another character who had a good head on his shoulders.

21. Would you have been on Pike’s side like Bellamy or on Kane’s side? Or Clarke in Polis?

Kane’s side. No question.

22. Mount Weather had a lot of modern commodities. (example: Maya’s Ipod) What is the one thing you would snatch while there?

Maybe a kindle if they had that. They probably would have different books than the Ark had, or the grounders. Give me all the books.

23. What would your Grounder tattoos look like? Hairstyle? War paint?

Probably a couple tribal tattoos on my arms, maybe connecting with something spanning my shoulders and upper back. Definitely ALL the braids; I already wear braids in my hair a lot, but I think they would just get more intricate for the grounder style. Some nice, swirling black warpaint around my eyes when I have to go to battle.

24. Favorite quote?

For someone who regularly collects quotes (though usually from books), I don’t actually have one. But a quick internet search and choosing quickly, I’ll say a favorite is, “I say, screw fear. I’m telling my own damn story.” (Bellamy Blake, 1.13). It reminds me a little of my one of my favorite song lyrics, “I’m the hero of the story; don’t need to be saved,” from “Hero” by Regina Spektor, which is actually a pretty decent song for the show.

25. If all of the characters were in the Hunger Games, who would have the best shot at winning?

I’m gonna go with Clarke. She’s smart and tactical and she does what she has to do. But if it came down to a straight up fight, probably Luna; she’d have the knowledge to survive the land and the talent to survive the fight.

26. Least favorite ship? Favorite canon ship? Favorite non canon ship? NOT INCLUDING CL OR BC OR BE

Miller/Jackson - It just came out of nowhere, with no build up, and I like to see how things unfold, especially relationships, and so I’m being stubborn about them trying to tell me it’s a thing. Zaven - All I wanted was for Raven to finally find someone who could make her happy and show her what she could should have. So, yeah, I’m in denial and not the happiest person right now. (I haven’t even watched the new season yet--I know, I know, I’m a horrible fan, but I was sick and then busy catching up on life--and this is something that got spoiled for me even though I’ve been trying to avoid tumblr for a week; I blame Critical Role for encouraging me to go on Tumblr last Thursday) Minty - I found the ship in fanfiction and jumped on board quickly and happily.

27. A song that should be included in the next season? If there had to be another guest star like Shawn Mendes on the show, who would you want to make a cameo?

I’m going with the song that I actually used as a title to one of my fanfics, “Heathens” by Twenty One Pilots. (I also just am bad at knowing songs, so this I’ll stick with what I already know fits with the story)

Celebrities, another of my knowledge downfalls--seriously, if you ever want a guaranteed win in a trivia game against me, go with Pop Culture as the topic.

28. What would you do if you were stuck in the bunker with Murphy for all that time?

Play card games? Drink? There wasn’t a whole lot to do.

29. Your an extra that gets killed off. How do you die?

You wouldn’t actually see me die, I’d just be one of the bodies bloody and lying on the ground.

30. A character you’d like to learn more about and get flashbacks of?

I think it’s actually Echo and/or Emori, both would be best; I’m curious about everyday life on the ground before the timeline of the show.

31. A character you’d bang?

Can I say all of them? If I have to select someone I‘d choose Bellamy, Clarke, Raven, or Roan. Basically the same answer as Toni. Ooo, I’m adding Lincoln to the list, too.

32. Would you stay in the Bunker? Go up to Space? Or live on your own in Eden?

Assuming I could survive it (nightblood), Eden. I need my green and I don’t mind being alone, though I’d probably still talk to the radio or the animals or plants.

33. In the Bunker, would you follow Octavia? What would you do to pass the time underground?

Yup. I’m a follower. Read, draw, think up stories.

34. What crime would you commit in the Bunker that lands you in the fighting pits?

These questions keep asking me questions with the assumption that I am not Lawful Good down to my core. I have no idea what law/rule I would willfully break and what the circumstances would have to be for me to do it.

35. Up in Space, who would you bond with first? Who would be the most difficult for you to get along with?

Harper, no doubt about it. Probably more so Murphy wouldn’t get along with me. He’d catch me making a face at something he said, and I didn’t honestly mean anything by it, my face just reacts, and he’d hold a grudge against me for a while.

36. How long do you think you would last on Earth by yourself?

If I had survival skills (know what to eat, how to find it, etc.) probably a long time. If I tried it at this exact moment, not very long at all.

37. When the Eligius ship lands what do you do?

Run, hide, observe, freak out. I don’t know.

38. Favorite Eligius character? Least favorite?

Shaw. (Why must all the good ones go?) Vinson, he was creepy AF.

39. Would you Spacewalk?

Assuming I could do it when it wasn’t illegal, yeah!

40. Would you prefer to eat Windshield Bugs, Space Algae, or Bunker Meat?

Windshield bugs. I was about to say Space Algae, but then I thought about the texture it’d be, and I’m pretty sure it’d be the texture that makes me gag when I try to eat it.

41. Would you start a war for the last spot of green on earth? What would your solution be to avoid it?

Yeah no, I don’t want to go to war. I would try to work out a way to share it.

42. Would you rather dig out flesh-eating worms or stick thumb drives into bullet holes?

I think I’d stick a thumb drive into a bullet hole. The first is turning my stomach to think about, but somehow the second isn’t doing the same.

43. Are you willing to poison your sister for the Traitor Who You Love? What would you do to stop Octavia?

Gut reaction against it, but that’s because I love my sister and she’s the sweetest. But if she did what Octavia did and had that personality, probably, as long as I knew she wouldn’t be killed by it. What they did seemed to work...?

44. Would you go to sleep in cryo or stay awake like Marper?

Sleep in cryo.

45. Who are you waking up first to explore the new planet?

Clarke and Bellamy, Raven and Shaw, Murphy and Miller. <<Same, probably Emori too, she’s resourceful.

I’m not gonna tag anyone because chances are they already did this while I’ve been avoiding Tumblr and so I missed their answers. But if anyone hasn’t done this and wants to, please tag me in your post! I want to see what other people have to say!

#the 100 #tag game #I'm such an awful fan for not watching the new season yet #I feel guilty about it #and I don't know if I'll be able to get the first episode done before the second one tonight #I already spoiled Shaw for myself #which devastated me #i was so so so excited for Raven to have someone after all she's been through #every episode and season for the pas few seasons I had two mantras #stop shirting on Monty #and stop shirting on Raven #I guess I got one of those because Monty got a happy ending #but first Finn being a dirtbag #then Wick disappearing off the face of the planet #and now this?#why?!?!#It almost makes me want to not watch #which is kind of where I guess I was always at #if I don't watch I can write my own happy ending for all of them in my brain #but if I watch I have to accept whatever trials and fates the writers give them
