#not to say that art is an infeasible career

[bright-and-burning]

thank u for the tag @monacotrophywife this took. too long to get around to lol

15 questions !!

are you named after anyone? my govie name no but eve yes! it’s my great grandma’s. my dad’s family has a kind of idk policy where your first name is Yours but your middle name is from somebody else. so my siblings and cousins and i have Original Names (not original as in like mackayleigheey just original as in not somebody else’s already. bc believe me some of our names are BASIC) and our middle names are all from grandparents + further back.

when was the last time you cried? i’ve been on the verge of tears a LOOOOOT lately. and i shed like five tears last week. but like Really cried was like january 11th ish when i moved out. i’ve had this stuffed rabbit since i was ~2 and my parents bought a perfect duplicate like the second month id had it bc i was so attached that they were like. we can NOT lose it and not have a backup (despite this i called both the same name). so i packed up one rabbit to take with me to my first solo apartment as a Real Adult and left one in my childhood bedroom. and that fucked me up soooo bad lol like the idea of here’s kid eve and here’s adult eve diverging paths… anyways.

do you have kids? i fuckin better not

what sports do you play/have you played? soccer, taekwondo, dance (ballet and tap for ~10 years) if you count that, running, a little bit of figure skating but like bootleg (aka my dad teaching me or me teaching myself w second hand skates) uhhhh. i feel like im forgetting something. oh gymnastics when i was very small. they had a lot of like, free/reduced cost sports opportunities for poor kids in my city so i’ve done a lot of things lol. owned a lot of second/third/fourth hand sports equipment over the years. if you’re in america (i cannot guarantee this exists anywhere else) and you’re in need of expensive sports equipment for cheap (or you’re looking to donate old sports equipment!) find yourself a play it again sports they came THROUGH for me and my siblings as a bunch of athletic poor kids

do you use sarcasm? frequently irl. probs less so online bc i don’t feel like it carries very well lol

what is the first thing you notice about people? hair!!!!! but otherwise it varies a lot. my favorite way to interact w ppl for the first time is to find something to compliment them on so i’m usually scanning everything to find like, oh they’ve got cool hair, cool tattoos, funky shoes, a fun patterned scrunchie, whatever.

what is your eye color? i Technically have heterochromia. but mostly green, i just have one solid brown stripe across my left eye

scary movies or happy endings? i don’t like Most Horror in general (tho i do fuck with a psychological thriller or black comedy movie a la the menu or last night in soho) so i’m gonna say happy endings

any talents? is it rude to say lots. lol. painting is probably my most “surprising” one. i can also still passably tap dance despite it being nearly 10 years since i stepped foot in a real studio. speed reading is another one; for some novels (shoutout pratchett for writing the world’s most readable and engaging novels) i was averaging like 550 wpm

where were you born? los angeles, baby. city of angels. la la land. tinseltown. etc

what are your hobbies? i am very good at picking up new hobbies and very bad at sticking with them for very long (until i get reinvested for like three weeks before dropping again etc). right now probably baking is the big one? writing. i’m trying to get back into painting this week actually!! we’ll see if i succeed

do you have any pets? my apartment is unfortunately pet free :( but my family pets are WONDERFUL. i have a dog who is a pitbull-corgi-mutt (so literally picture a corgi butt, legs, and the floppy baby corgi ears, plus a fat pitbull body, skull, and smile), and an orange cat :)

how tall are you? 5’0 on a good day

favorite subject at school? MATH!!!!! god bless math everybody. i had optional math homework in high school and sometimes when i was really annoyed w my other work i would procrastinate by doing the optional math work lol

dream job? i mean if anyone wants to step up and be my patron so i can oil paint photorealistic fabric folds all day… no but uhh what i do rn is my “realistic” dream job. my unrealistic but still technically feasible dream job is sports analytics. and my totally infeasible and impossible dream job is Art.

i’m gonna be honest i am so deeply behind on this that i think everyone has done it already. but if you haven’t and you’d like to, please consider yourself tagged <3

#tag game #not to say that art is an infeasible career #just that i like art and data equally and have not had like basically Any training in art #so obviously i chose the thing i liked the same amount (data/math/cs) that i could turn into a career significantly more easily

... who wants to remind everyone during this holiday season to try and reduce your consumerism to large chains and corporations as much as possible - they're evil and greedy, and don’t deserve your hard earned cash.

I’m not saying don’t buy gifts or give gifts around this holiday season - but please look into the options you have before you head to a corrupt store chain to purchase your presents (if you don’t plan on just stealing shit that is)

Some tips to help you reduce your consumerism:  

Shop at local shops/small chains in your area - while small businesses may be more expensive to shop at, it’s still a better moral alternative than SlaveMart™ if you really must have a specific product to give your loved one (that you are unable to steal without getting away with it if stealing is your game)

Buy things online from artists and makers on sites such as Etsy - seriously, it’s not that hard to find a link to an artist’s Esty page on this hell site. There are a lot of cool things on there made by hand with love by so many people - and you’ll be supporting a starving artist in a time where art as a career is becoming more and more infeasible due to the rising costs of living under capitalism

BETTER YET, if you are artistic, you can try your hand at hand making gifts! A little DIY can go a long long way - make someone you love a scarf, some socks, a hat, a no-sew blanket, some hand carved kitchen utensils, or an infinite number of possible things you can choose from to make. Go nuts, get inspired (and once again, try to get your arts supplies from local shops if possible)

MAKE FOOD. Honestly if you know how to bake you are a god this time of year. One of my fav parts of the holidays are the platters of holiday cookies and cakes and pies - and I know i’d be absolutely stoked if I got a whole holiday pie just to myself as a gift. And if you bake/cook regularly, odds are you already have everything you need to make some holiday treats already in your kitchen.

You can also balance all of this out by taking your loved ones out for some free entertainment this time of year. Go caroling, go to a Christmas tree lighting, go sledding in the park, go ice skating (if you live somewhere that gets cold enough for lakes and ponds to freeze over) make snow men, have a snowball fight - sorry for my lack of knowledge involving the holiday traditions and activities of people who celebrate other winter holidays like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. I’m unfortunately not capable of providing ideas of activities specifically involving those holidays (and if anyone who celebrates those holidays or knows more about them, please post some ideas in the tags/replies)

All in all, just remember that together we can end Capitalism. Happy holidays everyone. Keep fighting!
