15 Questions, 15 (or whatever) Tags

I was tagged by @kikiroo​ - thank you!!  *heart hug!*

1. Were you named after anybody?

Nope.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Um, I cannot stress enough that I cry at the drop of a hat in fictional situations (pretty much never in real life) so it was either Ted Lasso or reading The Celebrants by Steven Rowley, or it could’ve been The Emperor’s Bone Palace by Hailey Turner - I just finished that.  I can’t remember if I did or not, but I was so stressed out, I probably did, things went poorly for a bit there and I was a wreck.

3. Do you have kids?

I do not and have no plans to.  I’ve never wavered on that, I’ve always been very ‘who knows, could change,’ about it but so far: nah.  And I feel like if I had ever wavered, my sister having two pandemic babies and me being her entire village (I am the only relative who lives in the same state.  And the people who are best at babies do not live in the same country.) has nudged me more firmly towards: that’s really not for you, broh.  I love them to death but I am so glad I get breaks where I just get to be a selfish monster for seventy-two hours straight.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Neever.

5. What sports do you play/have you played?

I played soccer for maybe a few weeks in middle school and then I was like: this is just running, and running is so much worse than sitting, was everyone aware of that?  I’ll be on the bench if you need me. *throws up a peace sign*  Though I did just tell my sister that I would absolutely fucking kill at basketball against K-1st graders and I stand by that.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?

Sense of humor.  Honestly, I don’t know if it’s an ace thing or not, but I can’t even describe people beyond: heightish and hairish until you interest me as a person, which is usually because you make me laugh.  It’s kind of embarrassing sometimes because I really do not notice, and sometimes I’ll be asked to describe someone I’ve been in the vicinity of for, like, two months and I’m like: I genuinely cannot tell you a single thing about this person, I’m so sorry.  I just don’t track details.  That’s why I try really hard with names.  I can’t tell you what they look like in any detail (do they wear glasses? Have freckles? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), but I can tell you their name.  And sometimes that can feel like a superpower tbqh, because you know who people come to find out the new person’s name: moi.

7. Eye color?

Blue.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Oh scary movies, hands down.  They’re my favoritest things.  I regularly have them on as background noise.

9. Any special talents?

If I do have them, they’re a secret even to me.  I like to have that Kathleen Madigan mindset about it: “What if we’re all prodigies, but it’s just at something we’ve never tried yet? ... What if I sat down at a pottery wheel and made a cup and people were like: Holy Christ, lady, that is the most phenomenal cup ever made.”  It could happen!

10. Where were you born?

St. Pete, Florida.

11. What are your hobbies?

Writing, reading, tending to an imaginary beluga whale that lives in my nephew’s bathtub, creating to do lists over and over again that I have no intention of ever completing, and playing Pokemon Go.  There’s a girl at my work and we were the two nerds who were really into it, we would get together, do the fests and the raids and community days and such.  We have now converted half our workplace into either reactivating their accounts or creating them and there are now at least two more people who are just as - if not more - into it than we are.  (Like, they had to make a Pokemon Go policy because of us spreading it like a virus, lololol.)

12. Do you have any pets?

I have a doggo that I accidentally made obsessed with me and super introverted.  You know how they say owners start to resemble their dogs?  Nope.  I broke her and now we like to stay in, are wary of strangers, and essentially try to occupy the same space at all times - I blame COVID, honestly, we were both way more normal before that.  Or she was, anyway.  The good news is I can let her off leash ‘cause she’s going precisely zero places without me.

13. How tall are you?

5’

14. Favorite subject in school?

English in high school, Evolutionary Psychology in college.

15. Dream job?

I hate to say it but: I do not dream of labor.  Anything I’m passionate about doing, I would immediately tarnish by needing it to now be the source of my livelihood.  It would lose all its joy because I would put immense pressure on it.

Though if I could somehow make bank through sleeping? Yeah, that.

I don’t know who to tag because I feel like I’ve seen everyone do this on my dash so: um, whoever hasn’t done it yet and wants to - consider this me tagging you!

#meme answers #meme #if you've ever met me you're probably like 'how are YOU your sister's whole village??!' and like YEAH #i don't know what my sister's doing here tbh #she HATES cold weather but she wanted to leave dc and was like: where are you moving and i was like: #washington in six months and she was like: cool i'll go check it out with my boyfriend on a road trip #and then she got pregnant on the road trip and now they're married and live here lol #this is nOT where they want to be - either one of them #they want hot hot hot weather #(which i despise - my sister's trying to come up w a compromise state and i'm like: *gently* those are opposites my love) #they want to be in florida but i was like: dude you gotta homeschool if you go there #and my sister's already like: i don't like the american scool system in general so you're not wrong #and the draw there is my parents who...... do not like children and are not that interested lol #HIS parents are but they live in occupied palestine soooooo ???? THOSE are the options lol #(occupied palestine is winning just on florida politics alone ???) #not to say i don't ADORE them being here and wouldn't miss them like crazy if they left #but i do wish their bench were deeper than me bc i am already laying down and reading a book on there

Does anyone here draw in both desktop & mobile? I'm planning to get a galaxy tab at some point and since I don't really have any experience drawing on a (mobile) tablet, I'm curious abt how it feels to draw on one vs. drawing on pc w/ a graphic tablet 🤔

#once I have all my commission slots filled up that's when i'll buy one #i've been hesitating bc i'm not used to spending a big amt for something but honestly it's more of an investment than a simple want #my poor 10 year old laptop + monitor + keyboard setup is the 'pc' im currently using #both the laptop screen & keyboard isn't working properly anymore so i have a separate monitor + keyboard for it #it's pretty laggy most of the time #not sure how it's still holding up #ngl sometimes i'm worried it'll just give up on me & break at any moment #so I kinda wanna have a backup device #anyways! I get easily tired drawing on pc for some reason #I think it's bc i unconsciously tense my neck? whenever i stare at the monitor for too long #also my eyes hurt + the extreme hot weather lately is making me dizzy so i can't work for long periods of time 😔 #I see a lot of artists use ipad so i'm guessing drawing on a tab would also feel nice??? #also would that get you in the mood to draw more bc you can bring it w/ u anywhere? #i'm hoping to be able to draw more honestly..... #also the timelapse!! csp wont let me record timelapse on my current pc and idk why that is #might be bc im still on win 7 #HOPING i could post timelapse vids when i finally have a tab #tbh i want to get one asap (like as in rn) but I want to make sure I have enough budget first so im waiting for my comm slots to be full #bam blabs

in any human GerIta AU, DA ONLY WAY I can think of these two meeting is in central Berlin, early December, around 23pm on a Wednesday or Thursday…. Feliciano is on his way home from having a glass of wine with his friends at a bar, he’s in a good mood and despite the cold he’s wearing his long winter coat unbuttoned… he’s swaying on the sidewalk and suddenly slips and falls, despite the circumstances rather gracefully. Ludwig, the stranger closest to Feliciano, decides to step in and help the guy, simply bc Ludwig is a nice man and not at all bc Feliciano is hawt and sexy and looks like his wet dreams from high school (and also NOT AT ALL. bc Ludwig’s brain has been conditioned into thinking he only has value when serving others). Anyway, despite Ludwig’s help, Feliciano CANNOT get his balance locked in and keeps slipping in Ludwig’s arms, despite Ludwig having a literal iron grip on him ……. alas Feliciano ends up piggy back riding Ludwig, across frosty cobblestone streets lit up by Christmas lights strung between buildings where the windowsills r covered with snow and decorated with greenery ……. n the night is deep and blue and LOVE is in da air …… and from a bar, half empty save the middle aged regulars, u can hear smooth jazz as Feliciano drunkenly points out the directions of his apartment. Anyway this works for literally almost all time periods and I will NOT take any criticism . Talk to the hand this is how they meet as humans

#and Feliciano is like: bet u want my number huh when Ludwig’s drops him off #but in like a teasing n flirty way #n Ludwig wasn’t in for it for the number but HEY if the hot dude is offering why not #so Ludwig very shyly just: s-sure >\\\\\<‘ and Feliciano is like: HM… IDKKK I just met youuu #n plays coy only to toy with Ludwig n Ludwig falls for it #AT LAST THO Ludwig leaves with felicianos number and he’s so giddy about it #goes home and lays on his bed and kicks his feet while texting: the ride home was alright? #or no Ludwig would NEVER text first he’s a pussy #it’s Feliciano who was like: next time I’d like another sort of ride #or something balh blah sex joke obligatory nympho Feliciano moment #first headcanon post forever I’ve forgotten da format sorry if this is so incoherent lol #GerIta #I am locking in for this u need to get my vision of that cozy snow weather … the little lights everywhere ….. the Christmas decoration in #shops #DO YOU GET IT ?!?!?

unemployment hell 🤝

on all levels but physical I am gifting you a hot chocolate and a soft blanket, beloved

I would love nothing more

#my art #causeimanartist #drawing of me #thank you for the sweet message 💙 #I wish this was physically me but it was like 80 degrees today and I'm a sweaty bitch #I want sweater weather so I can look cute and drink hot chocolate from my extensive mug collection #have I ever revealed that fact? that I collect mugs? #99% of them aren't even for drinking - I have them sitting on my dresser and book shelves #holding trinkets and scrunchies #ya know - normal mug tasks #hopefully we both escape unemployment hell soon #I had an interview last Friday but then haven't heard anything since so :( #back to LinkedIn my fucking enemy #all it suggests to me are either legal assistant roles (never again please - I'm over lawyers and law firms) #or perfect jobs for me that aren't in my state #like sir #stop suggesting museum positions in dc #that's the wrong side of the country

#castform #:)! they're so pleased..! they like the weather… it's so pleasant right now… (VERY HOT) (NINETY DEGREES) (TOO HOT) #they're smiling… :)! they like something you said you were nice to them :)! #this pokémon has that gimmick where they like. change types based on the weather which is. like cool i guess i dunno if it's good #in competitive but i never used it personally. i feel like i always got it at too low of a level to want to grind it up #it's like ok. i feel like castform's moveset kinda has to be weather ball or whatever it is and then three weather setup moves so you can #actually use it and utilize the type-changing ability to its fullest extent. because if your opponent sets up weather then they're probably #already benefitting from it and you don't want them to benefit from it. because that means your weather ball probably isn't going to be good #against the theoretical opponent's type. and then it takes two moves to use any given type's version of weather ball so i just. don't #see how it could be that good. i will look it up on smogon cuz i imagine it's pretty decent in doubles bc then you can have the Other pokémo #n set up the weather so castform can use it but like if it's not even that strong to begin with #it certainly doesn't look it #yeah it's always been kinda mid it looks like. started off better around gen 4 and then just slooowly fell off up to gen 7 #dunno! still don't care a ton about competitive but i don't even care about this pokémon in not-competitive. sorry‚ castform fans

Ref and Alt version for the second one:

#nishikiryu #~ #gudnais (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆ #at first i wanted to do them because the weather was pretty hot and i wanted to do something funny for it #I forgot about it when it began to rain #But then when i started to draw I wanted the tatto to be peeling like they do when they are healing(? so thats why he is on his stomach! #edit #i also like to think that the one who spends more time on the others house is kr because nsk has a bath so he goes to shower #but he probably baths with water from the sink bc he seems like he would do that

So, by the way, does anyone have sources for really solid historical documentation on traditional outfits from the SWANA region, especially before colonialism happened, and very preferably from first hand fashion researchers? I'm trying to build myself a small collection to understand what the hell I'm doing when I'll attempt redesigning OoT gerudos a little (keeping some elements but making them les… Like This), but a lot of what I find is from european scholars. If you have any book or series or text or anything that you think might be a staple of that particular subject, I'm super interested!

#thoughts #gerudos #historical fashion #thralls of power #animatic project #there are iconic patternings and jewlery and a lot of emphasis on makeup and I think that's super cool so this will stay #and I'll try to make sure canon characters are recognizable + keep the Ocarina of Time Weird Character Art Factor #but overall I'd love to make it all just feel a little more consistent with their actual inspirations #and the climate/circomstances they live in #aka you're not protected against the sun + the cold + even that kind of hot weather #+ do you REALLY want to charge into battle belly soft and exposed #(also at some point there will be a time skip which means weeee!!! YOU get a makeover and YOU get a makeover!! everyone gets a makeover!!) #I'll do a huge concept art phase once I'm done with the current part

summerrr........ its not over in my heart...... (says this every year)

#octopath traveler 2 #octopath traveler ii #satsuhart #temehika #u can tell im a hot weather person cuz i dont think ive ever complained abt the weather on twitter during summer #meanwhile when its winter i DONT shut up #like i dont disagree that its hot. but its. better than the alternative for me #and i grew up in SEAsia so dont @ me #anyway i know theres a literal river flowing through ku but i dont think hikari would know how to swim #like it doesnt seem like an essential skill in the desert. for obvious reasons #and even so the ocean is like a whole different experience #i want to draw like a proper summer pic but oouuahg summer months passed me by... #also i was thinking abt the ending illust where castti is like smiling at hikari while he eats some berries she picked #its so...........mom looking at her kids eating well and being happy kind of thing #so yeah i think she'd murder watermelons for him #octo2

I just really need werewolf Kiri to chase me through a forest, is that too much to ask?

of all the questions i thought to trip me up with writing this story, the "did the ancient lost city of akkad probably experience much in the way of thunderstorms?" to be the one that i'd have to pay nasa for to read a paper of even passing reliability

#i figured ''okay well the generally-agreed-upon location is like. vaguely babylon-adjacent so start there'' #first hurdle is that there is a babylon in new york and everyone on google dot com is dying to tell me about its weather patterns #second hurdle is the clearly-ai-generated content #third hurdle is ''semi-arid climate with hot summers“ which is like. great! we're getting somewhere #and then you run into the brick wall of ''the climate changing in the middle east probably led to the fall of the empire'' #so like. what was the climate before then mister google dot com. what was the climate before. #i thought i knew what kind of climate these cities sprang up within. i thought i already had this knowledge. #i just want to know if thunderstorms were a yearly occurrence or more of a once-in-a-decade rarity! that's all! #why is this a complicated question!
