#still wanna take photos like this

[stuckinapril]

A niche goal for me in 2024 is to take more pictures. Your bitch literally has the opposite issue to everyone else. My whole life could pass me by without me taking any pictures

#like I just don’t think to do it #I’ve never had ig like that so I was never like. let me take an aesthetic photo of my latte for my story #and ik taking pictures for pleasure is a thing and I prefer doing it but I still don’t take many pictures like at all #so in 2024 I’m making it my mission to up the photo taking #I’m also genuinely bad at taking photos but I wanna get into photography anyway so #p

unrestrained sumBEAR fun

#yeah. yeah i am going with that #finally got around to taking photos when there was still some daylight left #sketch #fanart #i draw sometimes #because i was in the depths of misery at the office (i'm fine now donut worry) i was like hm. i wanna make plushies #but i have no clue whatsoever how i would even remotely approach either of their armours #but this would be more attainable...... (ignoring the fact that i haven't made any plushies since i was like 12)

#please be nice 🥺 #these are from December when I got to model for a local salon #since a couple of you said you wanted to see the final look #i still haven’t opened the Dropbox with the actual photos #i’m scared to look #it’s a whole disconnect with my body #nobody ever fucking takes pictures of me #so when there are pictures … it’s like i’m seeing what i look like for the first time #and i already feel so detached from my physical body because of chronic pain… body image.. etc. #idk y’all it’s… something i’m working on #a lot of it came undone last year #anyway #please tell me nice things in the tags and replies #i didn’t get to wear my blue power suit… but I felt so powerful with the hair and the makeup done #my hair is totally faded now and i’m trying to figure out what i wanna do now #i’m talking #lavender.jpg #femme #lesbian #femme4butch #femme4stud #femme lesbian

I think making phones with cameras was one of the worst decisions we ever made bring back cameras with no screens on them to see the picture while its being taken

#i dont take pictures with people anymore #and if i do its a selfie and seeing yourself while the pictures being taken is one of the worst things #i dont wanna focus on how i look i just want to be in the moment and have someone capture it #and i wanna have a pysical copy of that picture to look back on #i wanna go through photo albums #i wanna look at my wall and smile because i remember that moment #im putting pictures on my wall rn and i have nothing #i only have pictures from before like 2012? and very few recent ones but theyre all from one friend #shoutout to her for still sending me physical pictures <3 #i hate the rise of instagram and downfall of photo albums

Feeling another random burst of self confidence (probably due to lack of sleep honestly) so have a heavily made-up eye reveal I guess? 😂

#this is from my bridal makeup trial back in December #and tbh even though it’s not exactly what I wanted I still really liked it and the overall look looked good in my engagement photos #we’re gonna change a few things for the day of but yeah #no one asked but I actually like my eye shape for the most part #I feel like they can look kind of sleepy or a bit too small sometimes in photos where I’m not wearing as much makeup #or any at all #but I still like them especially since they look like that less often now #maybe it’s bc I’ve kind of grown out of that and I haven’t really noticed until recently #or maybe it’s just bc I’m getting a little better at taking photos lol #either way if you’re a teenage girl or a woman in her early 20s and you have these random but prominent insecurities like me #I just wanna say that you’ll get past them/grow into them #maybe it’s just those awkward teen years or maybe you’re not completely comfortable with how you look or taking pictures yet #but it’s okay you’re beautiful in your own way #and it’s okay to have insecurities too #everyone has them whether you realize it or not #I def still have other things I’m insecure about #but it’s important to talk and think nicely about yourself even when it’s hard #so that’s what I’m doing here #I’m gonna try to keep practicing that from now on #hopefully I can keep it up bc I really do think too negatively about myself sometimes

This reminds me of one of my first tumblrs. I started with erotic art, and ended up finding myself. I will be back here soon.

#ok a couple things #not scrolling yet #because I don't wanna get sad #BUT #well for one everything looks like a penis to me right now omggg #I have used my vibe a couple times but mostly I just sit in the feeling #also #I fucking forget how much I LOVE this industry until I get back into it #why do I DO this!? #I just got my boudoir photos back #they are so good #we slapped that shit together and I was a hot mess and they still look fantastic #it's really cool that we used the vintage camera and that they were developed by hand #I've almost gotten to the excited anticipation stage #I've never felt this disconnected #I wonder if my telepathy worked #lol #I am doing all of the things #because I know that's what he would want me to do #and for me too #but fuck I miss that man more than anything #I have really learned to be truly alone #good news is I like myself #so that's cool #bad news is that I need to feel like a hot girl again #that's only bad news because do you know how much work it takes to be a hot girl!? #but it's my favorite thing to do in the world #I have come full circle back to self 🧘🏼‍♀️💋

so i COULD review my blocking bc we have probably the first full run through tomorrow..... or i could review my music bc that needs a TON of fucking work and just like pray that future me is gonna actually remember to review my blocking during free block or collab instead of rambling about vat7k....

or i could do neither and make a cover of dead princesses go to heaven

guess what im gonna be doing

#marble musings #oh yeah should i do a tlt update #i feel kinda bad for doing one every day like i dont wanna be a bother #but there is new stuff!! #we started on the lotus casino sign and i still feel sawdusty :\ #(and also hoping nico doesnt think my lotus drawings suck---) #and i have a bunch of photos of my friend taking photos of stuff bc we're normal like that #the sets teacher was not v happy about how little progress we made but shhhhhhhhh #actually like all of the theater teachers think i should join sets bc im good at carpentry apparently? but im scared of measuring things #and also power tools #idk i might join next year but it conflicts with costuming TwT and costuming is easy bc i never have to make decisions-- /j #(also i never have to be covered in sawdust so thats another plus) #but i definitely wont be an actor #thats just too scary #and the shows arent great TwT #oh wow i rambled a lot #k ill stop now

#i was looking through old photos today. they where from wjen i was like 1 and it made me so sad #bc my mum would have been like only a year or 2 older then i am now and she looked so young #and now she has an abdomen full of tumors and blistered hands and feet. theyre prob gonna hsve to remove her bladder #but shes still very pragmatic abt it. but she grew up in a house where no one really cared about her feelings so she made them small #and now her mother calls and doesn't ask how her grandkids are doing and doesn't ask how her daughter is doing. im cursed with terrible #grandparents on both sides but i resent my mothers mother worse. though my dad said i probably wouldnt have survived his upbringing #and hes right. my nana has like zero empathy and cant cook for shit. idk how my parents r so normal but the fact i had a good upbringing is #probably the only reason im still here. and thats the other thing that made me sad abt the old pics. just looking at this little baby with a #fucked up head and thinking: in 25 years that kid is gonna b so broken down their not gonns kno what to do or how to fix it. idk whats wrong #with me. ive always been some stage of miserable but i used to b able to get things done. and now i cant seem to force functionality #and it sucks. bc im home now and i still feel like im cringing around this open wound in my chest. but whatever #as of today ive started taking ab1lify. hopefully it helps in the long term but in the short term it triggers my 0cd. which is not fun #its so frustrating. whatever. i also found out my eyes used to not work together. not enough to have a lazy eye but it was hard for me to #read and apparently my eyes were tracking at like double the speed of a normal person. wtf is wrong with my brain? also also my mum was like #yea i never would have guessed bip0lar but we thought it was something. autism i could see 100% but yea didnt see that coming. ao i guess #i brehave like a bit of an oddball. ans my nana would bother my dad to try to make me participate in church and my dad was like no. she #clearly don't wanna b here lol. ay. they did the best they could which i appreciate #unrelated

C through G got smudged and didn't photograph well (I really have to draw stuff darker if I don't want it to lose all clarity when it smudges, or buy better pencils I guess), and there's only so much I wanted to mess with photo settings tonight, but having never really tried to draw hands before, here's how it's going. I've been drawing these over the past week or so, I guess 11 in total since that's how many letters there are from A to P

she can be taught

#i feel like the photo manipulation did some work in the last one. like no way did I draw the O that good #or no you know what. it's more that the photo smooths stuff out because my phone camera just isn't that powerful #like in my actual sketchbook you see the pencil marks so much more #it would actually be nice to have a good phone camera #my husband's phone camera is probably literally 100x more powerful #maybe more. idk how you measure camera #but with mine it looks grainy the instant you zoom in a little. and with his you can zoom in soooo much #also wait i just wanna add. the quality is improving but it still takes so long #and if it's the first drawing of the day? spend forever just figuring out where to start. end up erasing all my initial line attempts #that's where i'm at now lol #took photos of my other drawings so i wouldn't have to start q

Y’all I’m not joking I’m Mad, like I could cry mad, for Quinta. I know as her fan and I’m sure for other fans this was a Big Deal. I’ve been watching Quinta since her first sketch on buzzfeed. I loved her and watched whatever she was in, and I and her fans have been waiting for everyone else to notice how fucking brilliant she. The excitement to finally have her up on that stage, recognized by the best in the Industry that Quinta Brunson is a fantastic writer, an even better one as a new name than writers who’ve been around in hollywood forever, was uncontrollable to feel. And for Jimmy Kimmel, to take away her moment? Her moment to bare her heart if she wanted, to bask in the glow of her hard work getting the recognition it deserves, was despicable. FUCKER decides to act like a DEAD BODY!? What is wrong with that entitled selfish man? Who does he think he is to act so rudely and immaturely towards a women he hosted? And is accepting an award for the first time for Her Show? It’s a huge deal for Quinta, sorry it’s not for you Mr “I’ve been (unfortunately) shoving my existence in the public eye for decades as a famous ass, so these signs of privilege and luxury don’t impress me” Kimmel. I wish Quinta stepped on your fingers and because you doubled down on your Stupid dead body joke you couldn’t move, and then I wish Zeus would just strike you down after, because fuck you

#emmys #quinta brunson #I legit wanna cry #like I want to take a pic of her acceptance speech #but fucking KIMMELS THERE!! #wanted to bask in her win #BUT KIMMEL WAS THERE #I’m not letting him ruin everything though she look beautiful #and I’m So so so happy for her and proud #and still cried happy tears even tho some were from frustration #and I will photo shop him out #and I hope Quinta ignored his ass and didn’t let him ruin her night #because she deserves so much for creating Abbott #a show that really inspires me and gives me hope for the industry #abbott elementary #tyler james williams #sheryl lee ralph #jimmy kimmel #janelle james #janine teagues #Barbara Howard #ava coleman #Gregory Eddie #emmys 2022

Growing up w no Instagram does SOMETHING to a bitch like I really get taken aback by how second nature it is for people to whip out their phones and take pictures of the most mundane things. Not because I judge them for it but bc apart from selfies, pictures w friends, and obligatory pictures on trips I literally forget to take pictures of my life period

#I’m not the kind of girl who’ll be studying at a cafe and thinks to snap a picture of my cute latte art #I’m never somewhere and go Ohhh this would be a good angle…. Like I just don’t do that #At first the way I rationalized it is I don’t wanna stress myself out taking aesthetic pictures but now I’m like #Compared to other people I don’t rly have proof of cute little tender moments #And one day I’ll be old and decrepit and I won’t have many of these diminutive memories still #So I rly wanna change that by being more intentional ab taking photos #And maybe sharing some of them SPARINGLY bc I want it to mostly be for me #But just making it more of a priority to capture little things I’ll look back on when I’m older #I think taking more pictures is part of my 2024 resolution anyway I just haven’t implemented it thus far

A sneak peek into a little photo shoot I did with Vastha recently! I'm working on picking only the best ones to post, but I hope you all enjoy them!

#vastha #miqote keeper of the moon #miqote #ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #final fantasy 14 #i am. so scared to be seen and putting shit in tags like this djhbgsjdhgbsjhdgbs s c r e a m s #yes my pics still (usually) have the ffxiv shit in the cornerrrrr #idk how to take screenshots without them and i really dont wanna go and struggle to edit them out #it really doesnt bother me all too much #when it does its minor and can usually be easily ignored so #also yeah.... the place of choice for this little photo shoot wasn't a coincidence looooooool

#i cant do it i cant any more im worn out!! and i know i have no right to be! #ive been worn out for a long time. i know everyone has. i know i cant take a break from the internet because Palestine still needs coverage #and now with the *drama* happening on tumblr. i dont want to tag it i dont want o be delet but you know the one #feels fucked to even have to call it drama but im one blog. im one little blog and im gonna be devastated if i get got for speaking out #ive had one blog removed by an authority figure it was soul crushing and i only had that one for like 3 years #this is over a decade of my life. if its gone my soul goes with it so i cant risk speakin out in any way that matters or is too conspicuous #but its all just too much. i need to go grocery shopping and it feels hard and bad. i try to come to my one safe place on the internet #to give me courage but its just post after post about more bad news. i saw a photo of a group of soldiers smiling and laughing #about murdering diabled people and taking their walking aides. i know the captions were people saying how horrible those soldiers were #and the active participation in ending diabled lives those soldiers had to take those photos and im just. why was it posted at all #we know the worlds bad. we know. why are you giving these people more publicity. i dont want to see that sickening smile #i just cant any more. i cant deal with anything its all too much its too much on a personal note and its too much internet wide #but i cant complain about it because im not the one being actievly genocided or harrased and i also cant leave because the people who are #need as much support as they can get and i want to support. i want to help #idk idk im crying im stuck i just wanna be able to get groceries but everything real life and internet is too fucking much

Whats a nice way to tell people that freaking out every time a massive corporation uses AI art and acting like THATS what shows they have no morals is silly.

#I dunno guys. #this is about the w/acom thing #Like is it just me or is it like....where was wacom getting the images- #-they used for their products before. Does it really matter theyre using AI generated stock photos now? #Also personally people have gotten so paranoid about AI I dont actually believe anythings #actually AI generated until someone admits it #Like Ill admit Im bad at being able to tell and I dont think staring at images trying to find #any inconsistency and taking that as proof the robots made it is like. actually a useful method here #I dont know I still am very apathetic to the 'its taking jobs from artists!' argument #Still of the stance those jobs were already gone/this was always #the direction the industry was heading #and people are focusing too much on the use of AI specifically as this grand evil thing #I do think it is gonna take jobs I dont know my point here is it still feels to me like #people are mad that theyre not gonna be able to be exploited anymore. If that makes sense. #Like these jobs already sucked and youre mad youre not gonna be able to be overworked instead of being mad about the way the industry like #Is. Like theres a reason these big companies are using AI it fits a trend but you just wanna focus on the AI use specifically. IF THAT MAKE #SENSE. SORRY. #Also not saying people should be thankful for AI taking their jobs Im saying talk about more then the fucking AI #Ok anyway
