Me, writing the parts of my fanfic I want to write: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, trying to string those parts together into something that resembles a narrative: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

#writing #i have just spend an entire ten minutes thinking about the plot/structure of my fanfic and i am in agony #(possibly. it's also possible it was only 3) #usually i just write a bunch of scenes and then force them to go together like a chimp doing a jigsaw puzzle #you'd be surprised at how successful i have been at this #anyway for reasons i can't do that this time plz pray for me

You know what, now that he's back I'm gonna say it:

For as good a Showman as he is, when it comes to his actual chosen profession of a show creator Mr. Puzzles actually kind of sucks.

-He can't handle when things go off-script even slightly, which is ironic considering his four greatest successes came from giving the crew (or a related character) a prompt and just sitting back and recording the fireworks.

-Everything always has to be about him, even when in-context it really shouldn't be.

-When he has full creative control over the crew he has NO UNIQUE IDEAS. Everything he makes is a blatant rip-off of another show that only gets elevated to affectionate parody thanks to the very cast that he chose explicitly because he believed they sucked and wanted a challenge.

-Speaking of which, he clearly doesn't know quality when he sees it and either severely underestimated them, overestimated himself, or both, because it took them less than ten minutes to match and surpass his precious Five Stars.

-The five stars that took him most of a movie to get AND, need I remind you, THEY EARNED FOR HIM UNINTENTIONALLY!!!!

-It's clear from his monologue at the end of today's episode (and the fact that the episode exists at all) that, despite claiming otherwise, he has learned nothing from his defeat.

#smg4 #smg4 spoilers #mr puzzles #puzzlevision #mario the exploro #he should be on broadway but noooo he Had to get obsessed with network television and a random gmod animator #i know the puzzlevision episodes are good but i attribute that to the crew's acting skills. not mr puzzles' “creative” decisions and writin #i know once upon an smg4 wasn't ripping off anything specific like the others were #but i still count it since it's basically just a bunch of fairy tale tropes haphazardly stitched together and carried by the crew's comedy

I'm frightened of you knowing who I am but, could you possibly give me your frank frankly theories pretty please idc if you only have like 2.1 I want them regardless of how many you have.

mayhaps?

ah man i wish i had some to give! i think all of my Frank theories (at present) are tied into other theory posts! he simply doesn't have a lot to chew on yet

#unlike say - wally or eddie - he doesn't have a lot of incriminating information #there's a bunch of little puzzle pieces: #the multiple hims in their house on the map / not having a backstory in his bio / im sure theres more but i cant recall it rn #but the little things we have so far are - imo - so disconnected thats it like. man idk what to do with these yet #i can very lightly speculate that he'll probably play a big role in 'looking behind the curtain' as it were #just since he's the serious Knowledge Guy #and i can imagine that out of everyone he's most likely to pursue the truth if he starts to Notice that things arent what they seem #i also imagine that that miiiiight clash with wally? #cause if frank goes 'holy shit none of this is real' its also likely that he might try to tear down the illusion / something similar #meanwhile wally seems deadset on Restoring the neighborhood and keeping things the same #could be conflict there! wait does that count as a theory? i may have lied to you #sorry my thought process works best when rambling - constant stream of thought can knock new things loose up there yk yk #rambles from the bog #homebogging #wh speculation #and dont even worry about it - i dont even know who i am! i know no one and nothing and everything is a nebulous void!

Clary!! I had a dream with her in it (among other nomai) and I remember very distinctly that she had beautiful hazel eyes. So I decided to give her a design to go along with them!!

#outer wilds #outer wilds clary #it was a very cool dream (a few ow base game spoilers below!!) #generally outer wilds themed. same vague loop stuff #i had to dive down into this deeeeep ocean that was really vibrant with so many vivid colors #and navigate my way through reefs and crevasses and caves to reach a structure in the depths #it was like the vessel in general design #and i had to go through a bunch of black hole warps and find my way through the structure #puzzle out how to find the way forward #that kinda thing #and at the end there was a black hole warp way above me #and when i jump in i was taken to some kind of limbo #a room in stasis outside of time and reality #and a bunch of nomai were there!!! including yarrow n clary (they're the only ones that were identified) #none of them knew how long they'd been there or even really how they died #but ultimately the purpose of that limbo other-reality was to make a new world and a fresh start #idk i found it intriguing #faux art

Hi my very favorite quilter in the entire world! I have a question (a few questions). Weighted quilts are a thing? If weighted quilts were to be a thing,how could one medium level deamstress with absolutely No quilting experince go about making one (making five or seven, if possible)? And, also, where do you get quilt top ideas or inpo? I love love love absolutely all your quilts, the scrap one in particular reestructured my ideas around scrap fabric and the importance of garment care

Good luck on the house repairs by the way

Hi!! I am so flattered to be your favorite quilter! This got long so it's below a read more

Yes, weighted quilts are a thing. I personally haven't made any, but I think there are two main ways to make them (I'll tag @creations-by-chaosfay to chime in if she wants to, she has a lot more quilting experience than I do and if you like my quilts you'll like hers too). 1. Add polypellets (or other weighted beads like them) to each square of the quilt as you make it. I think you'd need to enclose most of the outer edges of the quilt sandwich before you start quilting the sandwich together, put some beads in, quilt them into one square, more some more beads in, quilt the next square, etc 2. The easier but not as heavy option: extra batting would make the quilt heavier, and I think flannel is heavier than quilting cotton, so an all-flannel quilt would have some weight to it, especially if you use flannel for the batting too. I know some of my quilts have ended up pretty heavy, even if they aren't technically weighted blankets? If I remember later today I'll weigh some of my quilts

As for quilt top inspo, I have to admit I usually don't follow other people's patterns for quilts. I mean, I have followed some, like the cat quilt and the Postcards from Sweden quilt, but a lot of the time I just find fabric I like together, decide what size I want the squares to be, cut out all the squares, and go from there. The triangle quilts I've been working on recently are a case of that going wrong: I should have chosen a pattern because I laid out the patches like I do for my usual plain patchwork quilts and very much dislikes the fabrics together lol. Most of my quilts are just me dividing the quilt space into quadrants and trying to distribute each color of fabric as equally as possible across those quadrants The scrap quilt was me deciding what size finished block I thought would be easily divisible so I could cut out different sizes of scraps (12" finished blocks), and deciding on the two different 12" blocks I wanted (one made of 2.5" strips, one made of 6.5" and 3.5" squares). After I'd decided that and slowly started accumulating blocks, I learned about crumb quilting, so some of the scrap squares are crumb quilted from tinier pieces of fabric Wait I almost forgot to add: I follow a few quilting blogs here on tumblr, and regularly look at patterns they share. I also sometimes google "free fat quarter patterns" or "free baby quilt patterns", and go from there. For me personally, the part of quilting I enjoy is usually not the intricate tiny patterns, so I usually don't buy quilt patterns, but I have a few paid patterns I will be buying eventually (the Exploding Hearts quilt and the dog in a sweater quilt off the top of my head) Thanks! I am hoping the house repairs turn out to be not as bad as they thought they'd be

#long post #ask away! #quilting asks #some of my quilt inspo is also just that I like math #so sometimes I decide what size finished quilt I want #look at the fabric I want to use for it #and do a whole bunch of math repeatedly until I find the size blocks I want to use #it's like a puzzle! enrichment for my enclosure

So not sure if it was asked before (my apologies if so) but after rereading Faking it I’ve been wondering if what happened to Ford would have happened to Dipper if they were to switch places. Like you mentioned in the fic how Dipper realizes that the main advantage he had and the reason he wasn’t tricked by Bill is that he, as opposed to Ford, knew that Bill was a demon from the beginning. So my question is would Dipper be able to see through the flattery and lies quickly enough on his own or it would be a case of pure luck as it was with Stanford?

This hasn't been asked before, and it's a nice question!

Ford and Dipper are both intelligent. They're both ambitious and clever! But Ford's... a little more full of himself, and less emotionally intelligent. He saw Bill's arrival into his life, took his pleasant polite demeanor at face value, coveted the power and intelligence and thought: Great! This is amazing! With this creature working by my side, I can do amazing things!

Dipper in the same situation would think: Great! This is amazing! ....wait a minute. 'Great' stuff never happens out of nowhere, or at least not for free. What's the catch?

Where Ford's ambition shows him vast opportunity, Dipper's cynical nature outlines all the possible traps. Even if there aren't any there! He'd be much more of a skeptic when it came to great stuff just. Being handed to him.

Overall, Bill could have fooled Dipper - but he would've had a harder time of it.

#answers #Though that's not saying much. I imagine for Bill fooling Ford was a piece of cake #Ford was just too caught up in the enthusiasm of SCIENCE and being GREAT that he was blind to the subtler warning signs #Dipper can be fooled too! But he'd be more of a puzzle #A temptation could work on him as long as he knew what the downside or catch was #Makes it look more realistic and honest #It also gives him a Known Problem to work around and preoccupy himself #Honestly Bill's best tactic to take would be offering all the great stuff he offered Ford #*And* mention he's a demon #Or some other downside like 'once you learn X amount of things I'll own your soul' #Which is a lie but would also get Dipper calculating how *much* he could learn before said soul being taken #Trying to figure that puzzle out would keep him well distracted from a bunch of other stuff #While Bill could then create Other more Sinister problems that Dipper wouldn't think to look for #But if Bill started out with simpering flattery and sweet talking and being Nice (fake) and Polite (fake) #Dipper would have been paranoidly fending him off with a broom within the hour

[irate-pirate-bi-27]

The correct statement is "Precisely two of these three statements are false".

Explanation:

If "Precisely three of these three statements are false" were true, then all statements must be false, including "Precisely three of these three statements are false". If the statement is false, it cannot be true. It's a contradiction.

Likewise, if "Precisely one of these three statements is false" were true, then two of the statements would have to be true. Only one statement can be true at once. Therefore, this statement is also a contradiction.

That leaves "Precisely two of these three statements are false" as the only solution.

#poll #polls #logic puzzles #my maths professor got us to do a bunch of these questions and i realised this one would be perfect for tumblr #id be interested to see how many people can figure this out #reblog to grow the sample size plz :)

According to xlbs on weibo in the photos deciphered Long Ge appears to be imitating the “dancing bread” scene from the 1925 Charlie Chaplin film “The Gold Rush”). Coincidentally, Chaplin & Long Ge share the same Birthday (4/16), too). See Source Clip here

And he’s wearing the hat because this was taken when his head injury was healing allegedly

#zhu yilong #朱一龙 #朱一龍 #���일룡 #please stand by for the queue #Zhu YiLong loves puzzles ya see and he loves testing xlbs with cryptic photoshoots like this …this is so him coded … #you can search the film name and this is the scene that comes up too xD dancing bread on two forks #ain’t he clever #the answer is yes he is…he makes his fans think and go on movie treasure hunts #and if it weren’t for him …I wouldn’t have gone to 3 film festivals last year and seen not only his movie but A BUNCH so ahem thanks laoshi

[oh-meow-swirls]

was looking through old posts and i'm surprised to see that i seemingly didn't have any commentary on anything in 3 in chapter 7, 8 or 9, the posts related to 3's story go from "my first reaction when i saw yopple-bot was 'i love you. but also you are definitely the boss for this chapter-'" to "i have been in hell all day. hell being bada-bing tower." funny to me cuz those chapters are like, the best ones sdfkljsdfjfsdkjlfsdjkl-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw3 #i love dukesville. yo-kai watch wild west. though also everyone in bbq talks like they're in the wild west- #i don't blame myself for not having any commentary on hazeltine mansion tbh. it sucks ass. i mean it's kind of fun but like #god is it annoying. i think using the mechanic of switching between nate and hailey for puzzles is a cool idea but. bad execution #very bad execution. it is so annoying #especially the section where you're in the basement and have to use the drill a bunch #... why are there prison cells in the basement anyways??????? i just realized how fucking weird that is- #i'm mostly just annoyed by the dining room puzzle tbh. i KNOW the fucking answers but verygoodsir is an ASSHOLE for some reason #and won't let me choose the FUCKING CORRECT DOORS #3's so fucking amazing tbh. i really wanna replay it soon. don't wanna have to delete a save file though #wish 3 had three save files like 1 and 2. i get why though i mean it's the biggest 3ds game klsfdjfskjfsdjksdf- #i wanna like. actually use my originyan for once. i might just end up using nyases ii instead tho fsdkljjdsfjskd- #i love every chapter in 3 after nate and hailey meet tbh. the bestie moments are so good #though also i don't think it was an amazing idea tbh. it means there's six main characters after that point #sometimes one character will go several cutscenes without talking at all. it's usually buck #he doesn't have any dialogue during any of the key quests in new yo-kai city. which is pretty amusing admittedly #i think the writers just forgot about him or something fslkdjdfslkjfsdljkdf- #i think my favorite thing related to that is like. during the stuff in bada-bing tower komasan and komajiro are there too #but they don't have any dialogue. which makes it seem kind of pointless #i get why they're there plot-wise but like. at that point you should either have them leave before you go to bada-bing tower #(esp since they don't end up in the ufo with everyone else. idr if there's a reason for that there probably isn't-) #(i think i slightly blocked out everything in bada-bing tower cuz it is so grueling) #or just. give them dialogue??? #i love 3 and all but it definitely has some problems- #which is why i'm so excited to rewrite it <3 for both of those reasons. i can fix things. and also it's the best game #just. full-stop. not just the best yo-kai watch. i just think it's the best game ever #that title changes based on my current biggest hyperfixation though sfldfsjdkslfdjkfdj- #i think i'd say my overall top 5 is like. yo-kai watch 3. deltarune. ummmm. fantasy life is up there

Heya, I've been following for a bit and I really love your art. It inspires me too do art as well. Like wh art! Also cause I've always loved dragons. But anyway, I'd like to ask if you have any art tips? Like how you do fur, body shapes (human or etc), showing movement in drawing, etc, etc. Thanks for being awesome and have a lovely day!

hmmmm my best advice is to keep your pencil/penstrokes Gentle and Sweepy! when you press hard and make tiny lines instead of longer, lighter ones, your art will be more rigid. ya gotta loosen up a little!

also - and i will Always say this again and again - build up your visual inventory. study photos, real life, videos. especially videos. it helps you really See how animals (including humans) are put together, how they move, the squish n stretch, etc.

and! this may be a Hot Take idk! but you dont need to learn anatomy, at least not in the "take a real life class and once you can draw an accurate to life person/animal, you can stylize" like hmmmm no. try to visualize things as Puzzles! at least that's what helps me the most! everything is just a bunch of different shapes pieced together into a whole. once you understand that, it gets easier to play around with fluidity and style

#it also helps speed up the art process imo #instead of drawing One Big Thing #you're drawing a bunch of Small Simple Things! #but yeah dont overthink it. dont deathgrip your utensil. swoop your lines. puzzle pieces. #rambles from the bog #OH ALSO LINE OF MOVEMENT KINDA FUCKIN WORKS WHO KNEW!!! #i usually draw the head and then the line of movement and Assemble my puzzle following that #i hope this helped at least a little! have a wonderful day/night as the case may be as well! #ALSO IT DOESNT NEED TO BE HYPER REALISTIC OR ANYTHING #unless thats what youre going for! But! go for as much stylization as you want #who fuckin cares! there are no true rules for art! #any and all 'rules' are more like guidelines

whiny life rants (feel free to ignore)

Sister came home yesterday. Good because - I get to be with her; we finally did our gifts exchange (we waited for her); I love her very much and it just feels right when the four of us are together. Bad because - since her boyfriend came as well, we have to share a room, which means no alone time; our parents try to cram as many activities and Things during the days she's here as possible, so I also have 0 free time aka I am unable to draw and paint or even turn on my pc. I will be fighting for a bit of time tomorrow cus there's so much I want (and need!) to do.

There are a number of unanswered messages mocking me, plus all the reading content I have yet to catch up. I hate it. I pretty much just catch up as many things as I can in 5 minutes whenever I can, but of course my phone decided to be stupid and die on me. I just LOVE spending money that i had specifically put aside for a MUCH needed pc upgrade, to get a phone of all things 🙄

Also we're having our second round of family dinners/stuffs and my people-tolerance is dangerously low. So yeah. Blogging to stay sane. We had to do a little shopping today and I was so close to bite someone's head off (and not in the fun sexy way). Too many people too much noise too much everything. I am supposed to go to a friend dinner party on Saturday, but I'm seriously considering bailing (again) because I am so physically drained and I know I will be a drag to everyone. And I just can't deal with all the job-hunting questions right now, so I might just stay in and use my sister as an excuse lmao.

All I want is one afternoon by myself, so I can mope around properly and paint, and I'll be alright. But who knows when I will be able to get it. Anyways.

#i can't wait for the holidays to be over #i did get a very cool Tiny Plants botanical lego set that has a bunch of very small parts and looks very time consuming #i can't WAIT to put them together. it's like a puzzle but better (i LOVE puzzles i love order i love organising. it's so relaxing) #darya talks to herself

[nerdie-faerie]

Currently thinking about the last time I met up with my college friends, and we went around the table reintroducing ourselves with names and pronouns, cus it gets like that. And every time it would come around to me, I would deflect and distract instead of answering because I hadn't actually figured it out yet. It's coming up on a year since then, I still have no idea what the answer would be

#Queer gang #it was literally this time last year cus it was the last time i went home for winter break that i saw them all #i panicked and got distracted the first time i was supposed to introduce myself despite the fact theyre the last people who would judge #but were a bunch of very easily distracted fckers so it wasnt even that noticeable that i hadnt answered at first #but then one of them realised id never actually introduced myself and i cant even remember how i changed the topic #but someone would always realise in the middle of someones story so id just redirect the attention to what we were already discussing #to buy myself time to think but i never actually came up with an answer and im stuck on a coach rn so my brain has all this time to think #and im just. its been a year since that incident its been several years since i started to think maybe my gender didnt entirely fit #but every time i try to figure it out like a puzzle like i did with my sexuality the first time i realise i dont really have an answer #its not that i feel that something else would fit better and i cant figure out why it doesnt feel right in the first place #is it because i was raised hyperfeminine despite growing up predominantly around brothers? #is it because tradition gender roles dont fit anyway when yoyre queer because so much of gender is tangled up in sexuality? #is it because im taking too much of a theoretical/whatever approach to it when i know gender is predominantly a social construct? #is it because its just not that deep and i dont care? or do i care and i just havent figured it out yet? idk
