#not fallout #kal talks #ok to preface this is a POSI VENT #it just might get a little heavy #i tend to be a Little Personal on here and im going to be a lil more personal. im thinky thoughts #but man... its been a year since literally the lowest point in my life #like last march. i will say. was... really bad for me mentally. i wont go much deeper than that but maybe some of you remember. #im much much better now but i will say i was a little wary as this month and anniversary approached because i was afraid basically #(the actual anniversary passed last week and i didnt notice) #but ive managed to do soo much growing and healing from where i was last year like it is honestly astonishing #im definitely not the same person i was when i couldn't even honestly confront myself #in a way i think what happened last year was one of the best things to happen to me #it doesn't mean that nothing bad will ever happen in the future but it does mean that i survived that and i can survive whatever else #happens too #healing isnt linear i know that. like obviously im going to have setbacks and some days im incredibly whiny and bitchy #like October/November were suuuper hard on me mentally #but again - still here! #still alive and still putting laundry away and taking baths and reading books and doing art #And its almost SUMMER again! #and god i want to live this summer. #and its kind of funny how...when you think you want to die just saying thr words 'i want to live' feels like...idk. it feels like something #but i want to live #and i want to go hike at zion and i want to eat watermelon and i want to sit in the sun and paint red rocks #i wanted to die last year and it felt so real i could have but im still here and i want to live and do things while im here #that's all i guess #life's hard. its a bitch and then you die. but there are some pretty good parts to it too and every summer i remember why

“it’s just a warmup sketch,” i say to myself. “i’m just gonna warm up on shading and coloring. i’m just warming up on anatomy.” my spine crackles from sitting in shrimp stance for 2 hours. “just to warm up.”

#dairydraws #epithet erased #molly blyndeff #prison of plastic #jelloapocalypse #epithet erased prison of plastic #eepop #digital painting #molly is really fun to practice drawing hair on but i do kinda feel like i’m fighting against the skin tone in her ref whenever i draw her #i don’t even necessarily feel like i favor warmer or more saturated tones in general but idk #something about the color in her ref doesn’t mesh right with my painting style #i should try painting her lit in cooler toned light that might help #i was drawing her crying and then changed my mind #but i forgot to erase the little snot bubble. so i guess molly has a runny nose #the reason i got so carried away is almost definitely because the cafe im in is playing such slow relaxing music #i usually listen to pretty upbeat stuff when i draw #and it motivates me to go fairly fast. but i was just kinda enjoying myself and going with the rhythm of the lowfi beatstrumentals #this is a great cafe. the masala chai here fucking shreds #it’s so cardamom heavy and baby do i love cardamom #you know a tea at a cafe is good if drinking the stuff leftover at the bottom gets a lil grit in ur mouth #molly deserves a warm cup of masala chai frankly

I just want to say, everytime the notification that ypu posted pops up, I find myself running to tumblr with such fervour I thought i held for only running to hear my fave song on the radio. Just want ya to know that :3

Hearing that makes me feel both glad and a bit guilty :'> On one hand I'm flattered you care about my rambles enough to have notifications on, but I've developed a habit of responding to a lot of asks and I'm already worrying I might be clogging people's dashboards with them ´v` If you truly look forward to my posts and don't mind getting spammed with notifications then I'm happy they brighten your day!

#I think most people follow for art and I'm sorry if my constant askposting gets on your nerves #this has become an extremely ask heavy blog #I feel lucky about there being people who actively want to ask questions and talk about my characters and art #or just share random little things they figured I might find interesting (I do) #so I try to respond to as many as I can but I can see how it could get overwhelming #answered #anonymous

WHY ARE YOU SO EVIL!!! /POS. ATTACKING YOU.

Xemnas and Xigbar for 37 if that number hasn't been done? If it has, how about 74?

no puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal // ay, todo lo que he hecho por ti.

[ID: a mostly black and white drawing with a purple overlay of xigbar and xemnas shown from the hip up on the left side of the image. the background is black and has some diagonal lines with a bit of transparency on the right side. the shadows are harsh, with only a bit of light falling on their faces.

they stand before each other turned to the audience. xigbar, holds the handle and the middle of No Name before him, head tilted down as he looks to the audience. xemnas stands a full head taller behind xigbar, his left hand held some distance below the bladed tip of No Name, his left eye is covered by his fringe.

xemnas visible eye is painted ochre with a white pupil, while xigbar's eye is white and gold. The eyes on no name's handle and the gazing eye on the blade are a vibrant cyan. the caption reads the spanish lyrics "i can't ask a simple mortal for a forever" and "oh, everything i've done for you." /End ID.]

06-07-23 Why Patagonia helped Samsung redesign the washing machine

Samsung is releasing a wash cycle and a new filter, which will dramatically shrink microfiber pollution.

Eight years ago, Patagonia started to study a little-known environmental problem: With every load of laundry, thousands (even millions) of microfibers, each less than 5 millimeters long, wash down the drain. Some are filtered out at water treatment plants, but others end up in the ocean, where fibers from synthetic fabric make up a surprisingly large amount of plastic pollution—35%, by one estimate. Fragments of your favorite sweatshirt might now be floating in the Arctic Ocean. In a collaboration that began two years ago, the company helped inspire Samsung to tackle the problem by rethinking its washing machines. Today, Samsung unveiled its solution: A new filter that can be added to existing washers and used along with a “Less Microfiber” cycle that Samsung also designed. The combination makes it possible to shrink microfiber pollution by as much as 98%.

[…] Patagonia’s team connected Samsung with Ocean Wise, a nonprofit that tests fiber shedding among its mission to protect and restore our oceans. Samsung shipped some of its machines to Ocean Wise’s lab in Vancouver, where researchers started to study how various parameters change the results. Cold water and less agitation helped—but both of those things can also make it harder to get clothing clean. “There are maybe two ways of increasing the performance of your washing machine,” says Moohyung Lee, executive vice president and head of R&D at Samsung, through an interpreter. “Number one is to use heated water. That will obviously increase your energy consumption, which is a problem. The second way to increase the performance of your washing machine is to basically create stronger friction between your clothes . . . and this friction and abrasion of the fibers is what results in the output of microplastics.” Samsung had already developed a technology called “EcoBubble” to improve the performance of cold-water cycles to help save energy, and it tweaked the technology to specifically tackle microfiber pollution. “It helps the detergent dissolve more easily in water so that it foams better, which means that you don’t need to heat up your water as much, and you don’t need as much mechanical friction, but you still have a high level of performance,” Lee says. The new “Less Microfiber” cycle, which anyone with a Samsung washer can download as an update for their machine, can reduce microfiber pollution by as much as 54%. To tackle the remainder, the company designed a filter that can be added to existing washers at the drain pipe, with pores tiny enough to capture fibers. They had to balance two conflicting needs: They wanted to make it as simple as possible to use, so consumers didn’t have to continually empty the filter, but it was also critical that the filter wouldn’t get clogged, potentially making water back up and the machine stop working. The final design compresses the microfibers, so it only has to be emptied once a month, and sends an alert via an app when it needs to be changed. Eventually, in theory, the fibers that are collected could potentially be recycled into new material rather than put in the trash. (Fittingly, the filter itself is also made from recycled plastic.) When OceanWise tested the cycle and filter together, they confirmed that it nearly eliminated microfiber pollution. Now, Samsung’s challenge is to get consumers to use it. The filter, which is designed to be easily installed on existing machines, is launching now in Korea and will launch in the U.S. and Europe later this year. The cost will vary by market, but will be around $150 in the U.S. The cycle, which began to roll out last year, can be automatically installed on WiFi-connected machines.

#microplastics #textiles #laundry #environmental #science #patagonia #samsung #i'm. so excited. #also i HAD been silently judging patagonia a little for their heavy use of synthetics but. they ARE walking the walk actually. #(will say that ime the feel of natural fibers is just. better.) #(like. wool has an astonishing ability to keep you warm-but-not-sweaty at a bizarrely wide range of temps) #(whereas like. the synthetic fleece tops i still have are like. immediately cozy‚ sure‚ but you WILL get sweaty if you get warm) #(like being in‚ you know‚ a plastic bag!) #(so like. even if they Fix the Microplastics Problem i have no regrets abt switching my allegiance to woolens) #(but. still fucking THRILLED they might fix the microplastics problem.) #does make you feel like. i'm unavoidably a humanities person but. what are humanities ppl doing that matters this much. #like fundamentally if you really want to do good in the world you probably SHOULD become a scientist of some kind. #that said‚ science would almost certainly not be improved by my participating in it‚ so like. what can you do. #really hugely awed by & appreciative of scientists tho. #anyway. obvs this is really just a press release and we gotta see how this plays out but. #!

the school arc to me is so good because it drags ciel out of his position as a powerful figure and literally places him in the shoes of the person he could have been. the circus arc ALSO drags him out of his position as big bad queens watch dog/head of the phantomhive estate but the school arc feels like a mockery of a future that never was. this is what he could have been had his parents not died. and even then its NOT because he will never be that kid.

he never was.

Starting to think I might have accidentally become a baking wizard?

#winged a GF carrot cake recipe for christmas #just winged a modification of that recipe (so that I can cook it in a loaf pan as opposed to a 9x13 cake pan) #and aside from using a bit too much carrot (was worried the batter was going to overflow the loaf pan) it appears to have turned out great? #may need to tweak the sugar ratio a bit but still #it's gotten to the point where i'm like ''eh looks kind of dry let's throw in a couple tablespoons of orange juice what the hell'' #and...like...it works? #anyway we'll see for sure tomorrow #i made it with cashews instead of walnuts/pecans and brightened the flavor with some orange zest and orange blossom water #i am excited #personal #(PS: my GF baking secret is buckwheat flour #like you obviously can't use it for everything because it's a very heavy flour with a distinctive nutty flavor #but subbing it for part of the flour adds a really gorgeous stickiness that really helps things from getting too crumbly) #EDIT: couldn't resist and had a little slice and it is fucking delicious #was worried i should have added more sugar but in reality i might be able to cut back on it a little in future batches? #anyway omg so good and that isn't just the glass of wine talking pfft

Hey guys, Knox here *waves*

I’ve come to the conclusion that I am, in fact, majorly Burnt Out. I have been for a while I think, so I will be taking a break from Monkie Kid and fandom content in general until I’m back on my feet.

I’ll still be watching the episodes, but I won’t be doing any reaction posts or analysis 

My ask box will be closed 

I may still be creating some sort of content for myself but there’s no guarantee I’ll be posting it regularly 

I won’t be consuming other people’s content or art or reacting to them on tumblr much or in discord servers

I need to put some distance between me and fandom stuff and take some time away from creating and posting and consuming as well (even though I honestly haven’t been doing much of that in general at all lately anyways lol cause. y’know, burnout lgbsdl;kfmaew).

I won’t be completely gone. You might see me around a bit every one in a while. I’ll probably be answering the asks in my inbox that have been accumulating over the last while here and there, though some i might just straight up delete, (I apologize if you never see  yours answered.) I’ll be lurking more in servers than being active from now on to avoid burning myself out more with responding to every single message as I have the habit of attempting to do, but I’ll still be around. 

Feels kinda sudden, but it’s been a long time coming honestly lol. You can only go outside and lay on the concrete driveway for seven hours so many times before you realize you might not be all the way there bgkafmowe 

Wanted to thank y’all for your interaction, your asks, the tags and reblogs, and your support in general. It’s been lots and lots of fun and I hope you continue to have fun and have lots of good days. If anyone who knows me (i.e. mutuals, friends, buddies) needs me in servers feel free to @ me (my replies might be slow) or dm me personally <3 Responses to DM’s on tumblr will be slow. Please don’t DM me if we’ve never spoken before unless it’s important, thanks. 

Guess I’ll see you around o7 

Until… later. Yeah. Until later y’alls *waves* bye!! 

#knox rambles #but yeah might drop some little tidbits of stuff as i go and chill #but basically just gonna be on semi-hiatus again for a bit #i actually haven't really read or even looked at any monkie kid content for... well months #not even cause of spoilers it was before season 3's release #I'd look at what my friends would send me to support them and stuff but even that was rough bgkfmowe #not because it wasn't good or i didn't enjoy it but because I literally really am burnt out and even focusing on my own stuff is difficult #hopefully a break will be good for me and I'll be able to like... #get back into doing the stuff I love for fun and have it not be so heavy or hard anymore #in any case I'll see y'alls around! Take care! <3 #also @ my discord friends n fam #u can still send me stuff and ideas i just can't promise I'll react to it give ideas back or be as hype as i usually am gbsdkfmowe #not for a while anyways #love and adore you guys

hes so corny im gonna thr*w up

#the im him phrase is soo dumb #if ure gonna get a hand tat at least make the pain worth it like wtf is this #the im looks like ja wrote it with the other hand #in a sign my yearbook sharpie #also my personal opinion.. u cant get tats if ure thin as a stick #u gonna start blending in with ur surroundings and look even thinner my onion #idk maybe ive just seen too many trashheads #( not crackheads necessarily. they just do a lot of everything a little lighter then some heavy stuff) #it's like adding shadows to a painted tree like #😭 stop #bigger with tattoos is comforting to me but skinnier is scarier #i think my mental is flipped from how a middle class might see it #or a city person where big scary dude + tattoo is a death warrant for u or whatever #but those are usually the chiller ones unless they have an average bald eagle then they might be racist

Well fuck now I wanna write a few thousands of words of Niffty and Husk kicking so much ass.

#i got a little too wrapped up in a part of the one fic that was just supposed to be a bridge for time passing #but then i made a shark and nifft got excited for some possible murder and like how can u say no to her #it probably wont happen #cause i know what energy and memory are like #i just want her to go fuckin full throttle. like millie in the one episode of helluva boss where the door closes and reopens to a massacre #same energy #n husk is just like. walks up hands on hips heavy sighing and being mistaken for a washed up loser #and then just flexes that little bit of leftover overlord power #gettin a bit more intimidatingly tall #growling and his eyes get all fucken glowy and its like oh shit ok maybe hes not a total pussy pun intended #and then just a limb goes flying out of the alley way followed by screams and growling #and bro just walks out and readjusts suspenders and grabs niffty's hand and they go get fuckin icecream or something #and bring alastor a handful of teeth or something as proof of the problem bein taken care of #when im on desktop i might steal all these tags and make it a proper post #txt

This may be a good and normal thing but I have absolutely zero regrets about having purchased the laptop last night. Like all day yesterday and even as I was buying I was going oh god should I should I not but now I’m not even having second thoughts about the huge display lmao

#SO FUCKING GLAD that I actually did some extra research rather than just going meh the one I looked at before is probably better #I think it was a SIGN that I got paid a little early for the month’s work and then like the day after the laptop I bought went on sale #(Didn’t actually pay immediately so I didn’t USE any of that money but that is besides the point) #Only with the reservation of man… it’s big… and heavy… and REALLY huge and that’s bad… #I HAD deep down been going ‘man if only there was a bigger laptop with the same specs as the one I wanna buy’ #And then!!! This baby pops up!! With a big display and BETTER specs!!!!!!!! #Cannot begin to express my excitement at playing Real People Games like that hasn’t even been a POSSIBILITY #Stray is at the top of my list right next to ranch of rivershine #And also probably Elden Ring that shit looks NEAT #(Also yes there is a catch and a reason this one is cheaper even though it’s better! The one I was planning on getting had an OLED display #This one’s just a normal good old LCD display. But in all honesty that is ABSOLUTELY a sacrifice I’m willing to make lol) #z talks #not horse game #Also the fact it’s not currently in stock so I’ll be waiting almost 3 weeks for it also very much feels like a good thing #Like. I have a Date on which I can expect to Receive It. And that means I have a very set time frame for the stuff I want to do to prepare #(mainly organise my cloud storage to make sure everything’s where it should be) #(but that’s a bigger problem than it might sound like because I have a LOT of files)

dad for one but with rei...

Could you like, imagine if Rei was his daughter he didn't know what to do with, she's strong and cold but doesn't particularly want to be a villain, and he doesn't much want her to be one either, not in any way that threatens his stuff or her life at least. But then he hears Endeavor's been looking around for a match and he thinks "oh, there's no way he's gonna fall for an ice match right, he knows that would end awful right" but uh he fell for the match and the fake family in need and Rei's beautiful but aloof air, so,,, why not stick with it and see where it goes? it'll be good blackmail material, right? and its not like his daughter has a life of her own, or anything. he can bring her back to the base after and no one is any wiser, and she'll hate heroes even more and- kid?? and a second kid so soon? does she just want to get it over with? well seems like it's working, his underling tells him Touya is having problems with his quirk, but now instead of divorce and setting himself up for blackmail, Endeavor just keeps trying?? now four grandkids?? and Rei, showing her nerves on the phonecall with him for the first time in years, tells him that Touya tried to kill his baby brother and this one actually had the quirk Endeavor wanted and AfO thought impossible?? AfO decides nows the time to collect his family back and gets Touya before he can completely burn up, but Rei realizes she'd rather have her kids stuck with Enji than AfO, so she chooses to burn Shoto's face so Enji keeps him close and sends her away and??? i dunno she just hopes everyone forgets about Fuyumi and Natsuo because they're safer ignored and neglected than anything else???

#i dunno might be fun to play with in a universe similar to blade's naive melody #which i havent read yet because i want to wait until its all up for my own mental wellness due to some heavy themes #but that i love already anyway #hm yeah Rei hit with the stick is interesting #definetely feels like afo playing a long game that he hasnt actually fully thought through himself right #he's both a chessmaster and building little towers of blocks to knock down #or heck maybe Rei told Enji the truth #and she was institutionalized to keep her from being too close to any secrets but not put her in jail?? or smth?? #and they just. never told the kids anything #thats if you want to play it close to canon anyway #if you DONT oh hoho #there are many options #perhaps Rei arranging the match on her own to try and get hero help and just telling her dad its a villain scheme #but then idk enji doesnt believe her? because afo is a boogyman story?and she was too convincing with her fake family actors? #or does believe her idk #maybe rei thought the perfect quirk would draw her father out to where enji would see and believe her??? #actually everyones playing chess and blocks now #just chaos #except the todo kids who seem all completely unaware #it'd be funny tho if afo tells dabi hes his grandpa and dabi's like 'i could not care less man' #afo: oh. i thought i could manipulate you that way #maybe he still thinks the irony of afo's grandson and nana's grandson on a villain team together #not that they're very good teammates but still kjhghjk #anon #pocket talks to people
