found out while putting together matthias's oc page that his name has the exact same etymology and meaning as theo's name...

i’m sure this is information matthias is very normal about…

#theo is in fact a gift from god so jot that down ! #river dipping #i've been throwing myself into oc stuff bc i'm not doing hot mentally which is... tbh when i do my best writing 😭 #none of this is new tho i wrote the bios and 'at a glance' intros months and months ago when i first made an oc page #which is why i do plan on rewriting them but for now i'm leaving them like this... so i guess the echthroi page is done? #obviously echthroi has more characters than this but i haven't taken new screenshots of everyone yet... #i put the gray cas bg back in my game a few days ago only to completely forget i wanted to take new headshots for the oc page 😭 #like these are just placeholders... i want the backgrounds to match the oc page. oh... or maybe i could just do transparent pics? #i think i remember vyx made a post abt how to do that... will look into that when i open the game again. rn i'm at my keyboard 🧑‍💻 #like i am writing new things! started a google doc for theo yesterday and have been writing on it here and there since then #i've already cried in there... lmaooo. i like oc pages for sure but i think a huge google doc is what i really need to keep track of things #i drop so much lore in tags on here and it's like! river write that down somewhere else or you'll lose it 😭 #like i fr have never actually written down any of the info i've shared on here. i've just had all this oc knowledge stored in my brain. #so i went through and copied over a tonnn of tags and posts i've made into google docs but i just know i'm missing things i've probably #said in the tags of their core tagged posts... 🧍 if my blog didn't have so many posts i'd have an easier time going through it but 🤷 #and on top of that i've been making a bunch of posts about theo and matthias on my main acc. which is like 🧍 well great now there's more #i'm gonna lose track of...... i fr have gottt to get into the habit of actually putting things down in theo's google doc!!! #i'm just trying to figure out the best way to format it all but i've downloaded a few templates that i've been messing with. #...anyway. if it isn't obvious i'm trying to get back to posting on here. i'm opening my inbox now with the intent to just. #sit here in my inbox until i can get myself to reply. lads... avpd is actually so torturous i'm not kidding. #i feel like i'm dying trying to get myself to interact with people sometimes even despite how badly i want!!!! to interact!!! #theo and me and our avoidant trauma responses holding hands and skipping around together

RESIDENT EVIL → THE WESKER FAMILY

To the public, little is known of the families behind some of the world’s most renowned bioterrorists, but the question remains: did they play a role in causing their children to walk down the path that they did? Or are these individuals simply ambitious criminals with delusions of grandeur?

For Diana Wesker (née Afanasyeva), her introduction into the bioweapons black market trade was upon discovering her employers were using her research into limb regeneration with salamanders to further their experiments in creating enhanced soldiers, instead of developing human therapies with which she was recruited for. Although the prospect of using biological weapons in the military did not appeal to her, the concept remained fascinating for her own selfish endeavours. Born on the 27th of October, 1963 in Sydney, Australia to Russian immigrant parents, Diana had harsh expectations placed upon her at a young age, ones that no matter how hard she tried she could never live up to. Her mother, Tatyana, was an unfeeling woman, absent for long stretches of time with little regard to how it affected her daughters, much more concerned with her craft as an accomplished opera singer. Viktor was no better. A strict man whose role as father and ballet master blurred, he pushed his girls to one day follow in his footsteps. Whilst Sofia enjoyed ballet, and went on to become a professional ballet dancer, Diana’s heart was set on going into the field of biology. She wished to make a name for herself, separate from her family – to which she succeeded.

Diana was married to former U.S. Marine, Dave Monroe, for only a year until he was declared dead in 1992 after succumbing to injuries sustained in a horrific car accident. Foul play was ruled out while Diana played the role of the grief-stricken widow, but in reality, she had snapped after years of mistreatment at her husband’s hands, and opted for something she could pass off as an accident to be free of him. For years she believed he was dead – and he was, legally – but that proved to not be the case when he found his way back into her life again in 1999. Unbeknownst to her, she had been lied to by the police and coroner, who were paid off by her employers when they took Dave’s body for themselves and used him as one of their first test subjects in developing supersoldiers. Before he could ever hurt her again, Diana’s second husband, Albert Wesker, tracked the man down, captured him and tortured him, before allowing Diana to get her violent and bloody revenge.

The origins of Albert Wesker’s involvement in bioterrorism, alongside his twin sister, Alex, are much different than that of Diana’s. The two hail from London, Canada, but unfortunately, they hold no memories of their lives there, nor what happened to their biological parents when they were eight years old. Agents of Oswell E. Spencer, an aristocratic billionaire and eugenicist, took the twins from their home and executed their parents as per Spencer’s orders. Albert and Alex were then placed in a home funded by the Spencer Foundation where they were given new names and a privileged upbringing. They had access to the best education possible, free to pursue whichever field they decided, but it was by no accident they both went into virology and bioengineering; at home, their adoptive parents – agents whom they believed to be their real parents – instilled them with the beliefs of Oswell E. Spencer, harbouring disdain for war and pestilence, and believing humans to be an evolutionary dead-end in need of a rebirth. They were only two of the hundreds of children “adopted” as part of what is known as Project W, a plan intended to develop an advanced race of human beings. The most promising candidates were headhunted by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, the twins amongst them, where they went on to create bioweapons for the company founded by none other than the man who had handpicked them for his plan. The final stage of this was to infect the thirteen Spencer saw fit, however, only two survived; Albert received the intended effects, now possessing superhuman abilities, however, Alex was only offered more time to live due to her terminal degenerative illness.

In the summer of 1995, Diana was working undercover within Umbrella to gather development data on their projects for her company. Here, she had a chance encounter with Albert, an intelligence officer at the time, which permanently altered the course of her life. The two were never seen far from one another’s side, marrying in 1998, and they went on to become notorious in the bioweapons industry. The development of the Uroboros virus was where things took a turn for the worst. Although Diana’s infection was successful and she bore abilities that rivalled her husband’s, the plan itself did not succeed as they had hoped, and almost cost Albert his life at the hands of his former subordinates.

Now, they work within the shadows, with Diana declared missing and Albert believed to be dead. Their legacy, however, lives on with the mark they left on the world. As visionaries in their field, they influenced bioterror attacks carried out by countless individuals and organisations. In turn, they also inspired others to fight against such atrocities. One such person happens to be Albert’s son from a former relationship, Jake Müller, whose existence he was unaware of.

#mine. #oc: diana #pair: ewskers #click for better quality cause it's large & tumblr ate it ♡ #hii so happy birthday diana !! queen is 60 today :] #um. there's no template cause i made this from scratch...i couldn't find any i was vibing with so i was like you know what lmaoo #i'm sorry for the essay...it was meant to be just a short rundown of the family but well...that happened. typical leah fashion... #oh and guys. did you know that there's a limit to the amount you can put in one blockquote? that's why the rest is just left like that caus #i didn't like how it looked with a blockquote each paragraph...cause the spaces between were unever. you understand 😔 #with the tree i was also going to include weskids adoptive parents but i couldn't figure out how to arrange it all & make it look nice !! #cause i also wanted to have spencer in there as well cause he's a big reason why the weskids are the way they are...was maybe gonna include #sherry as well. like connected to jake (hehe) and then do her parents too but that would've made things so wide & it's already big enough #yes. i hc that albert & alex are biological twins. just for clarification there :] i don't think i added anything else that isn't canon or #implied with canon. cause the weskids were put in homes (or at least whatever ''controlled environments'' means) where they were monitored #by umbrella but were unaware of it. so yeah. i don't think i really changed much there !! #honestly i could've kept rambling cause there's alex's whole situation. there's my lore with jake's mum. there's way more with the ewskers #but it's already so long & i can't be concise so there's that lmaoo oh also diana's grandma. so much stuff #also meant to say the weskids birthday in that ramble. it's january 15 1960 :] they are capricorn sun leo moons but alex was born earlier s #their rising signs are albert is a scorpio rising & alex is a libra rising !! #had to redo the image cause typo on diana's birth year for some reason lmao so if that messed up the formatting i will sob

Unfortunately all chatgpt is good for is interview/job application stuff which I think says a lot about the hiring process as a whole

#wrenfea.exe #as an actual artifical intelligence? no its horrible bc it really ISNT one #its a writing synthesizer it generates writing based on data searches and boundaries from training #thats what a neural network is its a very convoluted input-output sequence #it has no capacity to understand the meaning behind what it generates #it is simply generating the specific things that the user is looking for #the job interview process has become so robotic and automized that ai fits in perfectly #but employers HATE that people are turning to chatgpt for cover letters and interview answers #so it was fair for them to use filtering programs to accept/deny applications before it got in front of an actual human being #and its ok for them to use ai and pre-written formats to make job announcements descriptions and interview questions #but god forbid we are forced to use those exact same tools to get a humans attention so we can get a job and not starve #pushing aside the whole copyright debate on chatgpt and the environmental impact of its power usage btw #im soley analyzing how its become commonly utilized on both sides #by interviewer and interviewed #the mechanization of the whole process is now on both sides #it just seems very inhuman.. #its also how some people have figured out how to somehow become employed multiple times by the same company due to lack of human oversight #and how automated theyve made their hiring process #probably should have made these tags into a separate reblog oops #also disclaimer do not cut and paste right into your application materials bc chatgpt often just lies #also many places now can tell you used chatgpt due to how similar its answers are #i only use it to make a template and see how things can be phrased to be more professional and buzzwordy #id never use it for something actually creative #and dear god do not write academic essays with it #i tried using it to supplement my own cover letter template but it was too robotic even for a cover letter #it is very good at accessing and summarizing publically available information #thats all it does not make sure the information is true or good

[callia-evergreen]

god i really want to get back into making cosplay/costume stuff but everything sounds overwhelming i dont even know how to articulate why its just. i havent actually done it very much and its hard

i usually get my mom to help me figure out how to do this stuff but its like. she has a full time job and even less of a clue than i do at making this kind of stuff. (other than sewing which she has mostly just made clothes)

id love to try to figure out how to do this stuff on my own or maybe find some people to actually help or at least to takl about it with or SOMETTHING but theres like. not really a community locally and im betting that even if there were regular meetups id do a horrible job of actually showing up if it wasnt something mandatory like school

i feel like im always overestimating how much i can do and how well i can do it and so even when i make something cool its still sorta frustrating.. and mostly its just so much work and then i get relatively little use out of it too

i dunno i have several projects i still need to finish and many many more that ive never started. lol. but i still feel like maybe it would be cool to try to do something. i feel like i want to make some dragonish type thing like horns or tail or something but i feel like i dont know where to start. maybe horns would be more doable cause tail seems like it would need a whole fuckin thing underneath to stay on, and apparently people just use headbands for horns? ive only ever made small forehead horns but big ones would be cool maybe but they seem difficult to balance and have them stay on

sorry this is probably hard to read but i just need to type this shit out somehwere to actually think about it i guess. screaming into the void or whatever with the small chance that someone might actually see it and maybe be able to offer some advice i dunno.

i know theres templates online for some of this stuff but it would be nice to be able to figure it out myself too. to be able to make stuff in more specific and different shapes and stuff

#just feeling really frustrated about random shit and i think trying to do something like this might be fun and maybe help a bit #but at the moment all its doing is making me more frustrated #its like i can picture some of the steps but mostly its just like. start -> ???? -> end steps -> finish -> fun #and thats Not Helpful #and all the videos i can find are just like. here print out this specific template and fucking. glue it together or whatever #and im like thanks i kinda figured thats how you would use a template but i kinda wanted to make my own #bleh blech idk i deserve a tail and horns and wings. optionally when it would be fun and when they would not get in the way #ooo also fangs and claws #technically i have some vampire fang caps but they dont fit very well and they make me feel like im wearing really itchy dentures #i need to refit them again sometime maybe #also i really should redo my nail polish. that might be good #something something visual of having claws without them actually getting in my way #anyway.

Killed my fursona again, now they're haunting me by giving me dead mice and birds

Also I had an idea for a combat trick and I decided to make it a monster hunter card

#asks #custom cards #amazingly there's only 1 monored instant that gives reach: Academic Dispute #plenty of green reach instants but a sore lack of red ones #this is a straight upgrade over Sure Strike but that's fine because Furious Bellow is too #a slight upgrade #also i'm really satisfied with Geist of Gifts #i feel like all it needs is an uncommon stamp and it'd fit right into Crimson Vow #cost reduction and scaling buffs are dangerous so i made sure to balance the p/t and cost appropriately #and 3 mana feels perfect #you can play it early to start playing good auras or you can play it late to help cast disturb cards #also as usual i had to make sure i got the templating right on Gift of Memories #it counts the total number of 2 different kinds of card in 2 different locations #how in the world is that written? #do you use and or or or and/or between the different kinds of cards? and what about between the different locations? #luckily Beacon Bolt exists so it was an easy copy-paste #ALSO Magic Set Editor (the card creator i use) sometimes ends up putting rules text or flavor text behind the power/toughness box #it's been an issue a few times but i finally figured out how to fix it #normally the font size is automatically as large as possible and shrinks to fit in the text box #but it doesn't consider the p/t box so it ends up making it too big #but i found where i can set the font size manually! #so Geist of Gifts uses a font size of 13.3! perfect! #AND you set the front and back separately so Gift of Memories is just set automatically

New Character Just Dropped!

Say hello to Kai! You might remember him from the bonus in the date comic, he runs Yu-Lan's New Kaineng shop while she's away tending to flowers or with other business (which is quite a bit).

He'll use his strong plant magic to make himself legs out of vines when he needs them, but doesn't do it often because: 1. He's lazy, and 2. He doesn't really like to be seen with them in public since it makes people think he's a Speaker.

#gw2 #my art #Kai #His main moods are tired and apathetic #which is I think just what happens when you are doing customer service for Canthan nobles #he still likes his job though #I gotta make like a template of his tattoo I can just warp on him #because man I made it a bit hard to draw #I just gotta figure out the rest of the flowers on it #and how to draw all of them

finishing up this year's fic log and the total has come out to 3.2M words spread across 202 fics and 75 authors!!! that's more than double the amount of words last year.

despite my best efforts in the second half of the year, dsmp remained my most read fandom with 2M words and 73 fics. followed by hermitcraft with 645k words and empires with 465k words

here's a fun graph of how much i read per month :] horror fact: in april i read 22k words per day on average, 14k in december. thank you to the authors who made that possible <33333

#i still have to do the tags/characters/relationships i am like FOUR months behind. sobbing #i might just. not. idk #i also plan on sharing an updated template bc ive made some changes to mine to make it better #in my personal opinion at least #i just want to figure out how to fix the way fandoms and tags are counted #currently leaves something to be desired #it would also be REALLY cool to make a year in review dashboard #NOT sure how to do that - the layout of it at least. i can do the formulas no problem probably #ANYWAY. #authors ilove you i love you forever #author mutuals i love you especially

Month 7, day 20, happy moon landing day!

In other news, I added a sprinkling of new characters today! A, O, S, k, p, and : 😊

Tomorrow I plan to translate the Strength, Justice, and familiar monuments to get a bit more of my capital letter roster fleshed out (mostly from the familiar monuments; you'll see what I mean when I post the translations ;3 ). The lowercases are probably going to be hard to come by on these plinths, unfortunately, so I'll have to free-hand them with reference to the books and Cuff scans.

naaurr all this talk abt art size and resolution had me looking at mine in my piece i’m about to post and i Thought the procreate canvas template i’d been using for the past few arts was default set to 300 dpi but it’s set at 132 dpi ?? :( 

#i mean they say like 72 dpi is good enough for just posting and i didn't plan on printing any of these but :( :( :( #need 2 figure out how to make my own square template bc i like this size for these little arts but i want the right resolution #arting adventures #vic.txt

Flag template creators, Could you possibly make versions of ur templates that u can simply edit/color in programs like mspaint & paint 3d? I only use mspaint + paint 3d to make flags so I csan't use them if they're psd files d:(

#Ikd how to use other programs- paint 3d n mspaint r very simple to use for me. #The other templates I use r from a da account n their templates r all editable on both of those programs #as well as 5000x3000. #THAT IS. A super big file size so i understand if people don't want to make things that big but as someone #who uses that accounts templates it wuld help a lot if others were tht size. #it means i can create high quality pngs of flags #also no one has to do thuis obviously- i think i am the only person asking for this? HJGKFDSHJG SO. #i rly wanna try and learn how to use other programs but they're so much more complicated n i just can't figure #them out.

Hi, would you ever consider uploading the PSD of that pairing template, if you didn't already? I keep seeing people talk about it and i don't know if you published it or not, i can't seem to find it at least :( it'd be a huge help because this thing is so hard to edit!!!

hiii omg i can definitely figure out a way to upload it (that's like safe and secure lmao) some time today!! i had just sent it to some moots through dms, but i can definitely do that, and i'll like reblog the original post and add it to that!!

#asks. #anonymous #i really went a bit nuts with that huh because i sort of need to do that with every template before i make things so i like *know* things #are centered and can be easily edited. i'm normal i swear!!! but yes idk if sharing through google drive to like strangers (if i post it #right?) is the safest cause like my email is right there?? idk how that all works. so i will figure something out!! #but all credits go to rosenkow!!! i don't want credit at all because it's all their idea and design and i only recreated it with layers so #i don't want to be credited for it!! and i can't reach out to them anywhere to ask if it's alright to share it cause idk who they were or #any of their other accounts so it's rough there but i hope they are okay with it and if they ask me to take it down then i will!!
