#seems a good start to the month

[afanofmanyhats]

So I have a theory.

The figure in this picture has a strikingly similar build to the Turaga of Mata Nui. Even the pickaxe seems long enough to be a badge of office. Canonically, it's a Matoran. However, the entry of the Mask of Undeath on BS01 (which this person is wearing) has this line:

"While undead, the user will lose all illumination in their eyes, making them empty and black."

That fits the description here. If this was a Matoran, I'd be surprised if the powerless version of the mask would retain the empty black eyes. So this has to be a Turaga right? But what is a Turaga doing in Karzahni? Much less a dead one?

Maybe this is Lesovikk's Turaga. Admittedly we don't have any information on them, but I think it would be a fitting end for someone who consigned their whole population to Karzahni to end up there themselves. Maybe their last goal, in a moment of clarity, was to get their Matoran back. Maybe they perished along the way, at the claws of Karzahni's Manas. But they kept going. And when they arrived in Karzahni's court, there was nothing there for them. So they remain, unable to leave and fulfill their duty. Karzahni probably "fixed" them in an attempt to revive them. Because that would be his greatest achievement, wouldn't it? To fix death, the ultimate endpoint of his position?

But it failed. And now an elder's husk wanders the sands.

I was reading a sci-fi book featuring Russain cosmonauts and the book mentioned the phrase 'Ни пуха ни пера'. I was tickled by the similarity to 'break a leg' BUT it has a call and response ('Go to hell' or 'to the devil with you') - who doesn't love call and response??

Heavy, you'll get a more playful response when Medic isn't hyper-focusing on the days battle plan.

#tf2 #tf2 fanart #tf2 medic #tf2 heavy #tf2 scout #tf2 spy #tf2 demoman #the book was moonseed by stephen baxter it was pretty good but i mainly enjoyed it as scotland got blown up #medic is so rude...i'm so sorry russain speakers if this is off and wrong. i started this a month ago and it seemed like a good idea then #and now i just wanna post and be done. stephen baxter don't lead me astray #but imagine heavy teaches everyone and they all chant 'go to hell' before fights #and the other team hears this through the shutters of their base......'boys they're doing that thing again'

had the unique experience today of being lucky enough to win a plush kirby prize in an ichiban kuji that is Perfect for holding on my lap while I watch things on my laptop, while the something that I was in the midst of watching today was the seemingly most R-rated show netflix has to offer

this on its own is not much of an issue, except for the fact that due to this plush's design and how i had my hands folded over it it looks like kirby is watching along as well, leading to a particularly fascinating contrast in media consumption- here's a visual aid I put together demonstrating this phenomenon:

#it's such a good plush for folding your hands over because it's mostly a big plush rectangle #kirby is just Also There #anyways i clearly thought it was funny enough to share lmao #but Yeah finally saw the fun animated samurai show people were talking about months ago lol #it was pretty entertaining! def leans a bit towards the game of thrones side of things in terms of excessive sex and gore though #also the constant random fast travel the villains seemed capable of was Very funny #like here you have a protagonist on an absolutely breakneck pace trying to reach their goals #and meanwhile the villains get Constant updates on where they're at via apparently teleportation #once it's obvious the story is more interested in having fun then making sense everything starts clicking #doodles

I don't wanna go to work. I just want to write vampire smut, cook good food, and bake bread.

#i seem to only be able to write when I know i don't have the time to write #what the fuck is that about #neech's speeches #i did voice lines with my fiancé last night for his latest yt vid #maybe i should explore cooking on yt #good news is i finally started the actual sex scene this morning #just word vomitted 300+ words worth of smutty tension #jdkanskdk #sorry this is taking me so long #my mind has been a battlefield for the last month #also my work contract is up as of thursday so i have to find another site #i have enough saved to chill for a bit #i probably will #but still #that's stress #plus personal life bs happening ugh #I'm ok just really busy sorry

congratulations to Mme. Pascale Leclerc, who has surely just experienced both the funniest and most unhinged weekend a mother could ever have. Dear fucking christ, I hope your middlest son brought you a bottle of champagne for yourself, ma'am.

#kazoo noises #charles leclerc #cl16 #monaco gp 2024 #zoomies posting #sports posting #like man. where to begin. one of your racecar children is back in town for the weekend. he has yet to have a truly good work #weekend it seems in town. now this year. we're feeling ourselves a bit. we're feeling optimistic even. and then ur son becomes talk of town #because he keeps doing fucking bits on twitter about adopting his coworker who is friends with your youngest son. this goes on long enough #for actual reporters to comment on it. no one is willing to blink first so by friday night we've yes-anded ourselves to a grandson #(congratulations mme leclerc) #things go well. and then at qualifying they go DAMN WELL #BETTER THAN EVER REALLY! but man. im superstitious. i dont trust shit until its over and the dust has cleared #(the adoption jokes have continued by the way) and MEANWHILE everyone is eyeing that starting grid. were humming. we're making vague hand #gestures when commenting. we're all thinking. Maybe? (the streets can hear u tho. keep it down) #race starts. lap one CHAOS. so many fucking crashes. i'd faint if i had a child even in karting honestly. #(every parent in this sport deserves a prescription for laudanum) #but he's not in it. hes at the front. and he. well. he just Stays There. Through It All. and the laps tick down. until the race is run. and #there he is. your middlest son. cross the line and into the books. first place. home town. what curse indeed. thats your boy!!!!!!!! THERE! #they play the radio of him winning and the audio is peaked because he screams out so loudly. you can hear the water in the laughter. #later theres gonna be videos and photos taken of him pushing his boss into the harbor and diving right in after the man. those photos are #gonna be fucking studied in photography classes one day. and STILL! everyone involved with that goofy joke about him adopting his coworker #(who. despite all the silliness of the race stayed second place and got a podium) is still carrying the bit like a baton relay. Do you have #him over for family dinner? might as well add a plate i guess! people are joking about your youngest son having two nephews? a dog born #maybe a month ago and a man born about... what twenty three years and about a month ago? fuck it! family dinner #sorry this bit got away from me but as someone who loves my homecity and my mom so much it might actually be like. #a visible growth inside my body if they do an autopsy on me at time of death or like. my love will eat me alive. sometimes the charratives #gets to me #anyway cheers mme leclerc i hope you party so fucking hard this week

Woah, Me jumpscare

I was doing stuff continually from yesterday to earlier but I’m back now

Finally finished these things: a Starcatcher Susie and a B-Sides Hatzgang. Might attempt to digitally color the Hatzgang at some point.

Epic Story Not Clickbait: Back when I first started the Susie one, my friend asked me what I was drawing, and I tried explaining as I always do, and at the end of it she just went “So she’s a furry”

And of course I just laughed like “What” and then “Are you calling Pump a furry”

And then she went “Wait no- a veggie”

And I laughed harder because that’s actually perfect I think (imagine it… veggie conventions) and then she said “WAIT NO NO a fruity”

And I wheezed like “Are you calling Pump gay???”

AND HER RESPONSE WAS A VERY DODGING-THE-QUESTION TYPE YES

#I mean they seem like they could be a bit more than friends…” #I was gonna start complaining about how the sun came out only when I was about to take those pictures #But apparently my drawings in the sun actually look like. really freaking good on camera #I mean Tumblr’s gonna ruin the quality but like that’s nice to know #spooky month #spooky month susie #spooky month hatzgang #spooky month roy #spooky month ross #spooky month robert #friday night funkin #fnf #spooky month pump #fnf starcatcher #fnf b side

I am once again job searching.... I am beginning to think capitalism is simply not for me. also do you know much easier my life in the bay area would be if I had any kind of skills that would transfer to a corporate or tech setting

#or was willing and able to move out of the bay area lol that's the other one. but that's a way more complicated discussion #but like imagine a world where i have a job i tolerate and isn't soulcrushing that allows me to make money...wow... #my work experience is like 1) public and academic libraries 2) human trafficking survivors 3) religious settings #AND LIKE OBVIOUSLY I CAN SPIN ALL OF THAT #but sometimes i go on teamwork and i look at sports jobs and i'm like. i could do that #i would be so good at social impact shit #but broadly if i was a hiring manager in any corporate setting i'd see my work experience and go. that's a hot mess. absolutely not #which i have found libraries and nonprofits are a little more tolerant of a chaotic resume.....alas #anyway if i seem insane in the next couple of months. it's bc my org is in a state of decay and i am not committed enough #to stick through to the end and/or be fired when we start losing funders. god bless bake on #fresno oilers.txt

[lesbiciousbeginnings]

It’s crazy how much having a leader who gives positive reinforcement, shows reciprocity and thankfulness, and is present changes the dynamics of a team

#mine #the team has really needed these things and after nine months in this role I’m starting to see consistent results #like ​one of the expectations is that everyone calls out on the walkie when they take their breaks #and I tell my team members to ‘have a good break’ in response and they seem to have realized that they won’t get a ‘have a good break’ #without doing it. and now it’s not an issue I have anymore with my team. and I’ve heard people from other departments wishing that THEY got #a ‘have a good break’ too

........creachure

#cats #his eyes are always so big and weird he no longer looks like a cat anymore sometimes.. in a way... #it's hard to understand.. complicated vibes on this boy #his summer sprawl (laying flopped out on the floor weird because of the heat) #I AM still trying to get some costumes done and also post another poll advtnure so I can finally finish it lol #the weather this month has just been soooo.... There was the heat wave and then after like 2 days of coolenss where I was like 'ah! finally #I can be productiv!' but just as soon as I had recovered from the heat.. it got hot again ghhhh #currently sweating inside. I actually had to leave my doctors appointment early today because I was just so so warm from #sitting in the car and the fac tthat half the buildings still do not have their air up very high and etc. and I felt so nausous #and flushed and started to get back and stomach pains for some reason.. Which I guess is good in a way to further confirm to doctors that #I Have Something Wrong With Me lol (most normal people should not be this heat sensitive I think) but is also still a little stinky #because I still payed a copay for the fulla appointment time but cit it short by leaving 15minues early.. grrr #ANYWAY. It seems like recently it's just hot all the time but it will ocasionally tempt you with a cool day of reprieve BUT don't let your #guard down! because as soon as you start to think 'hey things are getting better! :0' the sun will be like NO actualy. scalding temperature #be upon ye.. #Which of COURSE. I would rather have hot weather with little breaks in between than just constant hot weather. 100% definitely. #but it just always makes me sad because I get my hopes up lol.. JUST as I've recovered from the past heat and am So Ready To Start #On All My Things now That I'm Not As Sick And Hey Maybe It's Even Cool Enough To Do A Costume! .. my hopes are dashed #.. woe and so on and so forth. . Which I am stil managing to get a few things done but just.. not the things I really WANT to do (costumes. #sculptures. edit videos. etc. ). #anyway.. look at son.. If nothing else I still have lots of cat photos.. my sole productivity offerings to the internet online world

NaPoWriMo #37: A poem where the speaker is compared to a character from myth/legend

I love crawling out of the depths, opening up tumblr, and seeing your art. I love it.

it is quite interesting how social media can fall to the wayside, and people on the internet can just disappear forever if they really wanted to! I admit I struggle to keep up with "public accounts", they are uniquely stressful and I solute your hibernating tenacity. always lovely to see you resurface regardless, thank you very much for the lovely compliment...

I will say in case any of my dear followers were wondering where i've gone for the past month and a half, for weeks i've been pondering how to even broach the enormity of the topic that is: I made the mistake of thinking about my most favorite character for more than 2 minutes in one sitting. I intentionally go out of my way to avoid this and have many strategies to evade this occurring because every time I do enter a sort of hermetically sealed mental chamber where it's just me and him and his life and I begin to ignore all points of previously established social contact and also my health indefinitely. It's difficult to convey the emotional experience of this or its psychic magnitude. and it's hard to say "guys i really love this character!" because that's just words. you can't see it. the 10 years of obsessively thinking about some guy so intensely on&off cyclically until you've made 20 different worlds he's living in... how does one convey the depth of these without artistically depicting them as you see them to be...? i am trying to figure it out. currently planning a longform comic for my favorite and several smaller comics for others, but logically an individual can understand this takes a while... he and I have had multiple rendezvous over the past decade and I wish I had more "historical" art to show but for many of these years I have been a bit too physically disabled to draw, the past several weeks have been spent attempting to recreate his ideal form as he exists in my head. he is starting to come around!

I typed up three separate disquisitions last month to try and explain my feelings on him and none of them felt like the proper vessel to communicate this concept. which is likely for the best. the obvious answer is "just draw him". fine with this being the case, difficult when I have so many drawing ideas I'm now sitting on 100+ works in progress and they just keep accumulating since my brain generates these like an old laptop you leave in the corner of your room to mine bitcoin. in a way I'm content with this being a very "personal" experience thus far, shared with me and those in my inner social circle (really cannot emphasize to my readers enough how fandom can poison your constitution without self-checked moderation). however... I yearn to meet others who are as passionately involved with him as I am, because I think we could coalesce our ideas, and passion, into something beautiful...

^dio brando

#lucy art #might seem humorous to you that I get so emotional over dio brando every day that I get nauseated and sometimes cry. but tis my atlas #i could not tell you if jojo is actually good by the way outside of sbr which is the best part objectively #dio relapses occur ~once every 2 years and whenever they do i reread dio the invader thirty times and nothing else in the series #hes the only character ive ever bought merchandise for..I hated history until I met him now i can't read any kind of fiction but historical #sorry by the way to use your innocuous compliment as an excuse to talk about dio. wish it was not contrarian to my nature to just make #''posts'' publicly unprompted. i prefer to journal... i don't know how active I will be after this post even. will likely just go back to #sitting with him in a dark room until I finish any/all of the projects I've started #which is mildly unfortunate since I love to collaborate in the marketplace of ideas... my compatriots are out there somewhere #jojo is more popular than it was ''back in my day'' i don't know maybe some of you guys like it. asks always welcome lord knows #I've already pestered my friends with thousands of words about him already over this past month #sidenote: sasha askblog is not abandoned + never will be... it is a fun side project. like many things in life. much planned for him too

idk guys im starting to think that having a good thing going and feeling like im actually living a Life only for it to come crashing down almost like clockwork every year is starting to have some kind of lasting effect on me! not sure how many more times i can be tripped over until i stop knowing how to get back up! well thats not true i will keep getting back up forever until i die because thats the only thing to do, but come on. will it ever get easy.

#this is mostly about my career bc im always ignoring the incredibly specific pattern my personal life seems to follow lol but good god #literally since i started working every single year things get so fucked and i have no control over it #and i know i chose an unreliable kind of field to work in and this specific time/era is esp bad but for fucks sake. #too much to ask for to be on solid ground for more than 18 fucking months i see #and then my parents wonder why my house is still half furnished. or why i dont Meet Someone #girl i dont even know if im gonna be in the same country in six months and youre telling me off about not having a dining table. ok
