they're so silly 🥹

#warrior of light #Ardbert #fanart #speedpaint #i draw sometimes #Final Fantasy XIV #i wanted to do smth quick and easy and then got lost in the sauce anyway #(...that shirt.....) #and i don't mind doing it i have fun but also i feel like i don't have enough hours in the day for anything else #i think it's just that 1) it gets dark so early 2) walking nora takes so much Effort because eugh gross weather #so like. i finish work at 4 walk nora for 30mins-1h. draw for 2.5h and then it's time to emotionally prepare for walking nora again #and she knows like On The Dot when it's 8pm and time to go there is no fooling her #and then it's almost time for bed. i wake up early but these days i feel like i clip through the entire morning too #-points- it's The Dark again.

Updated the little relationship chart thing I did like?? A few years ago now? 2?? I think? Man. TIME keeps on GOING doesn't it!! ANYWHO- I thought it would be good silly fun to do a little "updated version" for the JodyCule! Now including Ulbrecht because congrats welcome to the party my big guy!! I did update some things on here, as time goes on the characters change and update with me and with how I want them to be...

Just silly fun nothing major tbh

#relationship chart #JodyBennet #UlbrechtRose #SoloDuram #PaisleyPriest #ask blog stuff #sfw #my art #digital art #scrafty #anthro pokemon #i did take out the ages and heights because uhhhh. I change those frequently! A bad habit I know but uhhh #I make a character when im like. 21 and then so I make the characters 21. but then I age and now im older than that character? idk feels of #one day I'll get a settled age down properly but until then I don't care I know the range and that's all that matters 2 me at this time #also getting older freaks me out and seeing characters being younger than me (that were once made to match my age) also freaks me out so!! #Jody's age has always been a vague Somewhere between 23-31 so like it isn't entirely crucial to the character that much I don't think #and don't talk to me about heights okay I dont care about it I know how tall they are and thats all that matters #'how tall is Ulbrecht' tall. next. 'how tall is Jody' short. next

hate 2 say it as someone tht hates time travel plots, but season five is 100% going to include it (or more likely some form of time manipulation) because there's waaaay too many references to time, the passage of it, clocks, confirmation from the duffers that "the upside down is stuck in time" on the day will went missing, will having always described himself as feeling "stuck" or "frozen", and it's the one final thing that the hawkins lab was studying (as mentioned in the stranger things bible) that we've yet to see in the show sooooo i gotta say that math really is mathing 🧐📝

#i don't think will's powers are related to time exactly -- i think it's more in the vein of like what joyce said #that emotions can make time move really fast or really slow and when will got to the upside down he was obviously terrified out of his mind #which goes hand in hand with him shaping the upside down. vecna manifested his powers and so did will bc he was scared n wanted to go home. #i think that's what's more important/fascinating bc it wasn't hawkins when vecna got there #it only became so when will got there and it's STILL stuck in the shape that he made it at the time that he made it #and vecna hasn't ever changed it so clearly that's not a power he possesses #but i wonder what else comes with his powers... and why didn't vecna kill him to absorb them? #why did he preserve him? what was the reason.... #has time stopped because will is still feeling the same emotions he felt that day? is the upside down stuck because will's stuck? #did will have powers before and that's why vecna stalked him? or was he supposed to open a gate like in s4 but then will's fear #unearthed his powers and suddenly that changed everything for them all? where much like with max - will fighting back is precisely #what damned him and sealed his fate? #i have so many questions how did he create an entire world what is it about him that vecna needed him alive for TELL ME DUFFERS TELL MEEEEE #anyway. time 2 take a quiz byeeee #mine

now I can see the whales

looming out of the dark

like arrows in the sky

I can't believe my eyes

but it's true

#ongoing gag where the crowd brings an inflatable dolphin and throws it back and forth during 'flying whales' #the quality is shit because 1. my phone is old 2. i bought the tickets like 2 days before the show because i didn't know if i could attend #and almost everything was already sold out. man i should've been down there getting beaten left and right by sweaty metalheads 😭 #anyway. mario plays the drums like a machine and was shirtless the entire night and when the camera was on him and we saw him through #the big screens let me tell you i was Looking Respectfully at the tiddies 💖 he put on our NT football shirt for his boat crowdsurfing bit #next tour I'm not gonna be studying so I will 100% take a vacation day and aim for barricade because I'm never getting assigned seats again #sorry but this is my Band of the Year in my heart even if wrapped says otherwise

what is my family going to do about the dishes when i move out. like this is insane.

#purrs #i understand that because im not contributing as much financially to the house + am not home most of the day doing dishes every night is a #fair reasonable way to expect me to contribute. but also i come home every day fucking exhausted and basically have to clean an entire day’s #worth of dishes (not allowed to leave them out to dry either i have to both wash and dry) for 5 people + put away all the food and #appliances + wipe down all the counters. like i clean up 5 peoples mess completely by myself. and it’s a lot and i constantly go to bed at #lkke 1:30-2am or later because im stuck doing dishes. my mom and siblings cook but they almost always do it together so it’s 3 ppl and then #i do this by myself and sometimes my dad helps me but he’s working all the time and all of his money is going to all of us so it’s fair that #he doesn’t have to help but. god. i have to be at work at 9 every day it’s not enough sleep and i am constantly late and so so so tired. #its 1:19am and i still have 2 sink fuls of dishes to do at least + have to put away all the food etc and it’s 1:19am. my body is screaming #at me to sleep but i am not allowed to leave it less than spotless. awesome #delete later #anyways yeah what i was saying initially is like.. what are they going to do when i move out and they can’t just leave the mess to me at the #end of the night. someone’s gonna have to stay up just as late to clean it all. lol #it takes me at least an hour every night to do all of this

As a 23 year old who used to read all day everyday when she was a kid but rarely does ever since she got her hands on the internet and videogame consoles and had to deal with things like studying and growing up and family shit I now know no shame or restraint when reading late at night because I am instead filled with some kind of pride and reassurance that "I still got it"

#i am sad that i am no longer that bookworm but at the same time i just cannot be bothered to start reading most of the time #it really takes the right book nowadays #and even then i just read an entire book in 2 days #while also having 2 unfinished ones on my shelf #because for once i was not final fantasy brained enough to read the damn ff7 book i am reading #i mostly read because i had to do something while hiding from my mom #and i was feeling miserable so embroidery or writing or even gaming was too much effort #and i was not final fantasy brained #but somehow i had had the clarity to bring my ereader so instead i read the second throne of glass book #shoutouts to my friend from uni who send me ebooks of the entire series as well as the entie court of thornes and roses series

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 15: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should purchase some new shoes for himself while he's in the city...

~

It costs quite a bit of coin, but in the end he decides that having a new sturdy pair of boots will serve him well on his travels. After he's done in the shop, he rushes back to the local inn before nightfall, eventually settling into a somewhat restless sleep..

The next morning, he orders some cheap vegetable stew from a food stall, then lounges in a park as he has his breakfast, watching the squirrels weave through flowering trees and birds pecking about in the dewy grass.. When finished with his meal (and sufficiently recovered from the emotional turmoil of burning his tongue on the soup), he quickly sells his old pair of shoes to a sketchy pawn shop before finally getting back to his journey...

By his calculations, if he he walks all day, it should only be two more sleeps before he gets to his destination, so he sets out to travel as efficiently as possible. He doesn't have the money to rent a cart, or the skill to ride a borrowed horse, but, he does have some fancy new walking shoes and a renewed sense of purpose. No more meandering through fields looking for flowers, napping in the shade, or scanning the ground for cool rocks.. He's going to focus this time!

......After a few hours, he comes across a broken down carriage in the middle of the road, with few people surrounding it, seemingly stuck trying to repair a wheel or something. It's hard to discern from afar..

Maybe if he helps them, he could get a free ride.. or some coins.. or make a new lifelong friend! Who knows? Possibilities flood his mind, this is what adventuring is all about! Wandering into interesting situations and making the most out of them!! .. But, then he recalls his previous oath.. he's supposed to focus today and not allow himself to sidetracked.. And who says he has the skills to help anyway? It could always just be a waste of time... Hmm...

What should he do?

Additional Information

the adventurer's current main quest: follow his map to reach the abandoned castle ruins and see the rare animal specialist about the mysterious egg he has

#paventure posting #poll #polls #choose your own adventure #GHWOOPPPs yeah it's been an entire month basically since the last one ghj.. I said I was trying to get back on schedule.. idk what happened #I guess I initially thought that april would be a less busy month but then it actually ended up being MORE busy with a ton of appointments #and stuff so then I had like no time. on top of trying to get a lot of other stuff done... so.. eughhh #I DO STILL want to keepon track of this more though. I want to at least get him to the abandoned castle so he can complete #his quest. I think like. the first poll a lot of people seemed to like and care about and participate in so it was kind of like 'oh! cool! #it can be a fun collaborative story with a lot of people!' but then gradually less people participate or care so then I kind of allow mysel #to slack with it as well liike 'oh its fine if I miss a day or two here and there' which then turns into a month when I have other stuff #to do lol. Because it does still take time. like maybe 2 hours to put a post together. even if the art and writing is relatively rushed and #quick. Especially since polls are not editable once posted so half the time is just proofreading the post and tags 15 times #just to make super sure there's no errors or etc. lol.. But trying to clear two hours of time during an already hectic day for something #that generally speaking very few people are engaged with or care about at all when it's meant to be interactive (like with normal art #or costumes or other stuff I do - low interaction doesnt bother me since that's not the point/it's not as relevant. but with an actual poll #you do want like.. the most poeple possible to vote on it etc. lol) so it's like.. ehhh #I was originally thinking like 'oh i could do this for an entire year and tell like a whole story and it'd be cool to see where it ends #up eventually after so long and the community kind of choosing the direction of everything!' but now its like 'well people care significant #ly less about the following polls than they did the first one so maybe not As Big Of A Thing but I do at least want to finish the current #thing going on' etc. I mean if in the next few posts it becomes More Of A Thing then it's very fluid. I could do it for longer #but with the way things are looking it's like. is it worth the time investment when i ALSO have 800 other creative projects I'm meant to be #working on?? etc. etc. ANYWAY though.. Still there will probably be at least 10 or however many more since there's still like 1-2 more days #before he even gets to the castle plus then doing things AT the place. #I want to continue his journey!!!!! I also have just felt sick and weird and so unfocused for a while eughhh.. sorry #OO I almost forgot about his injury from the fight. i had to just add it in the last moment lol.. SEE this is why I proofread 100 times #I can't edit polls so they have to be Correct the first time.. ueghhh

Various images from the past year or so... posting my evil little photo diary collections once again..

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. one of the billions of pastel sky photos I take and post constnaly because I'm obsessed with the sky lol 2. I got #a gardening mama (like cooking mama) game from a friend a few years ago and don't really play it that much since it's not #as interesting to me in some ways but.. I do like the graphics a lot. It'd be cool if in real life when you did something correclty a bunch #of little rainbows and sparkles appeared in front of you lol. 3. Everyone makes fun of me but this is how I like to have sandwiches #.. basically a salad in between two pieces of bread. barely any meat and cheese but then like 2 inches of lettuce and tomatoes and stuff.. #half an entire head of iceberg lettuce on one sandwich... the Cronch... 4. Weird little light colored spider doing a split on the netting #of this strawberry garden. 5. ice creambe... 6. tiny tiny babey strawberry son.. 7. Went to someone's house and they #had this weird channel (I guess for halloween?) where it was like 8 different channels playing at once and you could watch them all #simultaneously (I don't think this is the intended purpose of it I think it's more just to show what's currently airing) #but it's kind of surreal and interesting.. with how on tiktoc and stuff they have those weird sensory overhwleming #videos where its' like 3 videos playing at once with unrelated audio. I wonder if one day people will just watch 8 screens #of tv at once like this after everyone offically has only a 2 second attention span lol. To me its kind of hard to pay attention #to but is an interesting excercise I guess. Like it was a cool challenge to try to watch it all at the same time #8. THE temperature indoors at NIGHT during the late summer........... AUGH..... #9. a pleasant little breakfast of scrambled eggs with green onion. baked salmon. sauteed corn. and a few almonds pecans and pineapple #leftover from making smoothies with it the day before. I eat basically the same rotation of things for every single meal every single #day (like literally I have had the same exact breakfast for about 2 years with zero variation except for special occasion) so whenever I do #actually have the energy to make something different or I have some interesting food for some special occasion reason. I feel more #inclined to document it lol.. like.. oooooo...eggs.. Which are normal to some people. but to me it's like.. wow... revolutionary.. so #different from my usual Scheduled Bland Stomach Problems Safety Gruel lol. #photo diary #spiders tw
