Walls and Friends

Everyone hits a wall.Sometimes, the wall is very big, and visible from very far away. Big walls that you can see from far away give you time to figure out how to go around them. And if they don’t, you still have the time to build tools to climb over them, or dig through them.Sometimes the wall is very small, but catches you off-guard. It doesn’t take a lot to get around or over or through a small wall, but you’re not expecting a wall until the last second, and you don’t have any tools ready. Annoying, but at least small enough to deal with easily enough.

And sometimes, the wall is invisible.You don’t know a wall is coming until you run into it face first. You don’t know how big it is, or whether there’s a path around it. You don’t know what material it’s made of, so you don’t know what kind of tool would be best to climb it, or dig through it. Invisible walls were a pain in the keister.Especially since anyone else would just tell you to walk forward, because they couldn’t see the wall. Some people didn’t know about invisible walls, and thought other people just didn’t feel like moving on. Dealing with people who didn’t believe in invisible walls was almost more infuriating than the invisible walls.

Lamina had hit an invisible wall.It wasn’t the first time they had hit a wall, not even the first invisible one. That did not make it any more pleasant to smack into one face first.They had been focused on a wall in the distance - a big but very visible wall, made of a few different materials. A wall of Work, coming in their path soon in various forms, and needing various tools. Lamina had been crafting the tools to deal with the big Work wall.

And then they’d gotten cold-clocked by an invisible wall.It had knocked them from the sky, and the fall to the ground had hurt them a lot. Getting up would be a lot of work before they could even start trying to deal with either of the walls.And so for a bit, Lamina just lay there in the dirt, coughing blood with limbs akimbo, wishing that the wall wasn’t there.

A soft rustling sound from behind Lamina made them slowly turn their head. It was hard to see through the dirt on their glasses.Something poked at their glasses, fuzzy and bright, and when it pulled back there was a little less dirt on their glasses.In front of them sat a pig, wearing a crown that was too big and had fallen upside-down around its neck. It bore two balls of red and green, the same shades as Lamina wore.This pig was a friend, Boon. Lamina and Boon had been friends for a long time, and even though they didn’t talk as much as they used to, Lamina was happy to see Boon again.

Boon sat back on its haunches, cleared its throat, and started shaking the balls - pom-poms.“Ra! Ra! Sis-boom-ba! You can do it, La-mi-na!” The voice was rough and low for a pig, and a little silly in the way one sounds when one doesn’t care about sounding silly.It waved the pom-poms high, and it waved the pom-poms low, and it waved the pom-poms so strongly it nearly fell backwards.“Ra! Ra! Sis-boom-ba! You can do it, La-mi-na!”

Lamina stared at Boon.Boon stared at Lamina, and shook the pom-poms again.They both began to laugh.

And then Boon set the pom-poms down, and grabbed Lamina’s collar with its teeth. It gently helped Lamina roll back into a position that was a little more comfortable, laying down next to it.“Hit a wall?" Lamina nodded, sighing. "Want to draw. But I have to get past the Work wall, and there’s another one in the way.”Boon nodded solemnly. “Invisible. Hit a lot of those myself.”“How did you deal with them?”Boon’s piggy lips tilted back in a smile. “Got help. A lot of it from you.”

Lamina looked over at Boon. Boon looked back.“A lot of the days I was writing, I hit my own walls. But I would look through it, and see you waiting on the other side. And you were always so happy to see me that I just had to make it through the wall. And sometimes, you would help me through it, seeing things I couldn’t.”It was true. It felt like a long time ago, and no time at all.

“So whenever you want to get up,” Boon said, stretching and wiggling back onto its feet, “and take another crack at the wall, I’ll be here. You can lay down for a bit if you want, though - you hit it pretty hard. And I can wait.”Lamina watched the pig pick up the pom-poms again, brushing the dirt off them. Boon looked back, and wiggled them.“Ra! Ra! Sis-boom-ba! You can do it, La-mi-na!”

i saw an abba cover band tonight and honestly most of the performance was spent imagining what im sure is some absolutely insane interpersonal drama

#the performance was. fine the band carried it though #I JUST WORK IN ARTS AND CULTURE AND NOW IM A SNOB. I WORK IN A THEATER AND IN A LIVE MUSIC VENUE SO I HAVE OPINIONS. #their mixing was. strange right at the top one of the singers was clearly not getting enough of her own vocals in her monitor #FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY? HAZE NOTICE?? NOTHING???? #so her voice sounded really strained. which is something they should have fixed in soundcheck. #she slayed at the winner takes it all though ill give her that #this has just turned into me complaining but whatever #one guy on acoustic guitar who was doing The Least #the keys guy was pretty good #the other singer was. fine #the musicians though they really killed it theyre clearly insanely talented #and i just. why abba covers? i mean power to you chase your bliss and all that but they were clearly professionals and Really Fuckin Good #NO PRESHOW ANNOUNCEMENT EITHER. HOW LONG IS THE SHOW? IS THERE AN INTERMISSION? WHERE ARE YOUR EMERGENCY EXITS? #also i was a bit grumpy bc my voice is too low for a lot of abba :( and im not good enough to just. match the key or harmonize on the spot #except for the 'super trouper' bits i can do those #my tags are out of order and i cant fix them. goodnight.

Just judged a local speech & debate tournament and fuck me that took a lot out of me. Like I'm glad I did it cause I was invited and had a blast but fuck man I was there from 7:40am to fucking 7:25pm and literally judged 6 full fuckin rounds like man I was there all fuckin day and I'm tired. Thing is I completed when I was in high school (and placed at state every year to boot) and I know a thing or two about judging and what to be ranking these kids on, but I'm also a pretty easy judge to please. Idc about the content of your piece or little shit I can chalk up to you bein a fucking high schooler. Make sure your blocking is clean, your characters distinct and your speech articulate, and you're gonna get the 1 from me. It's really that simple. Where it gets hard on my end is where I judge a finals in Humorous interp and one girl's piece is just not funny at all but her blocking is amazing and she's super polished, and another guy towards the end if the round has great comedic timing but super needs to work on keeping his characterizations clean and more controlled. Like, it's The Funny event, but I gotta give more points to the girl who's clearly put more work into polishing her presentation over someone who's chosen piece just so happens to be funnier. But yea I'm glad i got invited and got to impart some genuine critique and encouragement since the circuit has been pretty lacking in terms of old talent teaching the new kids as of late. Like holy fuck there were so many kids that just didn't have the basic formatting, and I didnt wanna be that asshole judge who just writes "learn the basics. 7th" like I wanna be encouraging but you kids gotta get with your coach and make sure you know what you're doing, and GET THE FUCK OFF OF YOUR PHONE WHILE YOUR FELLOW COMPETITORS ARE PERFORMING

#speech #speech and debate #had fun though #also there was this trans kid who was super fuckin talented and almost perfect; i gave them i higher ranking and some reccomendations on #blocking so they could use more of the space between dialogue; but the room got stuck with this old ass guy as one of the fellow judges; and #he ranked them down HARD cause the piece's topic was on gay stuff; and they were trans. like fuck man your fucking ballots say to be #open minded and not let biases affect your judging. dude literally told me after the round #“yea i didnt like that gay stuff so i ranked 'him' down a bit” like fuck man #anywhozers. judge your local tournaments so kids like them dont end up with shit judges in finals.

billions(tm): it's incredible how we just provide a little snippet of material designed to be "guy we all want to push down the stairs immediately somehow" and through this amazing acting alchemy it becomes gold. electric. magnificent. we can't get enough so we will just keep writing this loser character and the actor will somehow keep bringing the dazzling transmutation through his ability

actor will roland: [is aware autistic people are real]

#this is at least half humorous in several ways lmao but also like fr... #winston billions #will roland has pretty much said he is aware that autistic people real. and not [ppl's utterly off the walls assumptions abt what Defines #Autism or what an Autistic Person is like and how you would Know] #i don't think that Billions(tm) would be very much better at that than re: say; taylor's being nonbinary (surprisingly alright yet. u kno) #quant kid 2 could've been anyone but writing Winston is like so certainly the common deal of the inadvertently autistic character #drawing from all the autistic people allistic ppl encounter all thee time without being aware & deciding they're annoying / jerks / too #weird to live too pathetic to die / grating nerds / Funnily Odd in a way you deign to merely raise an eyebrow or scrunch your face at.... #so on so forth. ''oh you know Those People we all know who are just Like That'' #and deciding they must be ''just like that'' b/c they're either too arrogantly rude &/or clueless / Unaware to be neurotypically superior #also do not get me wrong lmao big old proponent of Did You Know That? Actors Act. Now You Know #so of course yes will's acting is off the shits i mean here i am am i right. and he is using it when he is acting. #the acting talent Is off the shits. the tiniest moments they give him & he CRUSHES KILLS it really is amazing i'm not waving it off at all #cue twitter randos so betrayed when kelly aucoin is not dollar bill & is like ''yes in my acting job i'm playing this fuckin asshole'' #meanwhile i'm still following the interviewer who a) asked will anything abt billions b) talked abt the immediate striking intro of will's #as quant kid 2 And the immediate draw of / effervescent dynamic between winston & taylor. Someone Who Gets It #anyway it's like will can fathom that actually the people who are Always ''acting wrong'' w/their bad grating vibes no matter what they do #are not always Those People(tm) who We all know & loathe right....thee magic of knowing winston can be someone fully earnest #and of course always actually trying; & having perfectly comprehensible wants & needs. damn how's he doing that #bringing a certain je ne sais quoi to this Insufferable Loser Nerd material! so we don't mess with the process. #i.e. we will only ever let his role get dunked on forever b/c sure can't fathom anything else anyways. our Correct characters could never.. #only tuk; adjacent in wrong nerd loserdom; can be his friend. rian who is correct but zany with it can be his abusive friend

Roots is the best 😁 Thanks for updating even though you seem insanely busy

wow thank you for reading AND for your kind words!!!! 🤩 I will be less busy later this week once I finish moving, but thankfully the hardest part (writing the actual fic) was finished in the summertime

nowadays I just try to catch typos/fix errors/change sentences I hate/etc each week before I post. big BIG shoutout to the loml @volturialice for giving each chappy a look-through and catching all my bad habits so that the story reads soooo much smoother 😭 between her corrections and @perihelions-crew also clocking all of my typos/grammar fuck-ups, it's making roots my most thoroughly edited and well put-together fic i've ever written in my LIFE 🥰🥰🥰

#not only have I never written a big fic like this + written DRAFTS of a story before #but i've never had anyone edit/beta/proofread like this #and its SO HELPFUL oh my GOD??? #i'm learning that i love me a fuckin... passive voice and also i love to use the wrong its/it's #anyways having talented + smart friends who are willing to read your ridiculously long fic to help make it better is priceless baby #roots

Watching The Addams Family 2 (2021) and like, your main climax cannot hinge on the Addamses genuinely fearing death, y'all!!!

They are the ADDAMS FAMILY! At least 2 of them are dead at any given time! Pugsley died for 3 hours just last Tuesday! Fester has 5 necromancers on speed dial and it is unclear if he is dating one of them or one of their undead clients! It is unclear if Morticia is a vampire! Lurch is probably a zombie! Grandmama keeps resurrection tablets next to the Pepto in the medicine cabinet!!

All this is just off the top of my head - this isn't hard! Get it TOGETHER, YOU MINION-ASS ANIMATION STUDIO THIS WHOLE MOVIE WAS WEAK AND YOU ARE WEAK

I WILL SWORDFIGHT YOU AND WEAR A PINSTRIPE SUIT, AND THE UNEDITED FOOTAGE OF THAT FIGHT WILL MAKE FOR A BETTER ADDAMS FAMILY MOVIE THAN THIS SOULLESS SACK OF A FILM

#original #the addams family #like it's not the worst movie I've seen but then I remember the 1991 Addams Family movie and I'm like holy shit #how do you fuck that up that bad #this should not be difficult to do right The Addams Family is interesting even when they're written by someone mediocre #but this was just bad writing that probably got boardroomed to death by the studio #also does anyone else find this animation style really really unpleasant to look at? not quite as bad as The Lorax but almost identical #also the fucking product placement in this sucks so bad. it is not subtle it is not blending #this was just so badly written #the first movie was actually okay. mostly because of the creative animation. but this one didn't even have much of that. #also rip to the voice acting industry. I like most of these actors but there's no reason they had to be in this film #instead of real voice actors #fuckin pugsley at the end of the film going like huh what?? wednesday is gonna do me violence??? #like my dude you are pugsley addams read the wiki page ffs #also the fact that they set up this idea that your family is chosen and not by blood was really cool but then #at the end they're like oh no just kidding #blood is most important and we are absolutely wasting what was actually a very cool concept #so many talented people went to school for animation and then had to animate this horse shit #I was having a thoroughly mediocre okay time until the very end there when they really just shat the bed on their theming #which like Jesus Christ can you please just be obviously a bad movie at the start so I don't get invested?? #also the entire previous movie was very specifically about Wednesday making a friend and she isn't even mentioned in this movie #why do all the work of establishing an enjoyable canon and then just leave it in the dirt?? #and Wednesday is once again the protagonist which is fine but it makes it extra weird that there is no indication #of the arc that the entire previous movie was about. is it cuz it was too gay? or is it just plain incompetence? #maybe it's homophobia. maybe it's maybelline.

me before rigging a vtuber: aw man $200? that's probably reasonable but I don't have that kind of money :(

me, now having drawn and rigged the Same Fucking Model three times: two hundred dollars is not enough. you should be charging five thousand per parameter.

#live2d #vtuber #this shit is so fucking hard and to make it look GOOD???? skill. talent. practice. fucking blood magic. #true story #if I see anyone ever complaining about how much comissioning vtube riggers costs I will personally eat their kneecaps #you've lost your knee privleges. sorry! my kneecaps now #I tried to tell my dad about the Fuckin Bullshit live2d was putting me through and he had to stop me #because AND I QUOTE. I just sounded like some sifi insert technobabble here nonsense #and honestly. he's right. I barely understood what I was saying. #literally how do people make this shit Good. tell me your secrets. #MAKING A MODEL WHO CAN BLINK AND ALSO SMILE IS THE BANE OF MY FUCKING EXISTANCE. HELL ON EARTH. #I plan on making a youtube video documenting my journey for educational purposes because Holy Fuck #like. like. absolute Bare Minimum. how do you draw a model for live2d. #there's a ton of (really good!) videos about how to navigate the basics of live2d but. but. #I couldn't get anything about How To Draw It. #cause that's like opening an animation program and explaining how the pen tool works #except!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #anyone who already knows how to use it will Know and it's Basic and Obvious #but for someone just starting out that is a HUGE hurdle!!! #my first tip is to draw it like a paper puppet if you've ever made those #make sure EVERY moving part overlaps in a way that let's you rotate/shift it to the fullest degree #including things like The Nose or any scars/birthmarks/coloration #so that when you rotate the head/body/arm/Whatever *you can have those move seperately* #and not have to spend two thousand years carefully warping the texture to make it look like it's moving #I learned this. the hard way. #also don't make your first model with Cool Textures you will regret it #I used the watercolor brush cause it's pretty. never again. not for a Long time.
