Throwing a paper together just days before a conference, the grad student rides a turbulent wave of shame and exhilaration.

mercy and compassion

She recalls the first encounter she had with death. 

It was not during the war between the two countries, nor the game strung in her courting partner’s hands, but a bird on its back with its feeble legs curled up. She had been no more than seven or eight years of age where the weight of death’s curl could not reach her. Rinea had knelt down and scooped the lifeless thing into her hands. Digits brushed over its feathers, beak, and talons. When it did not stir, suddenly its stillness and absence of heat settled in her palms. She frowned. She had been summoned back to her parents and the bird back to an embrace of weeds and loose dirt. 

“Hm,” her father sighed deeply, the same sound he made when something went wrong. 

Eyes stared into her own then seemed to glaze past her into their yard when she told him of her encounter. His arms uncrossed and foolish as she was, she thought for a moment he might place it on her shoulder. They occupied themselves with a scroll left on the table instead. 

“That’s just the way things are. It was too weak for this world, so it died. Leave it there, other creatures will make use of it.” 

Then, a few years later, when she thought herself wiser and smarter, another bird had been found. She had been with her father this time. An eagle lain on the dirt still writhing and twitching. A hunter’s arrow lodged in it and carried its plume and flesh with it to the other side. Fear struck in its still, glistening eyes as if it had been pulled from a cruel painting.

“Are you certain we cannot save it?” she asked.

“Save it? Execution is the mercy we grant it.” A light ring of metal unsheathing scraped against her untrained ear. Its handle is pressed into her palms and the weight of his hand is on her shoulder now. “Go on.”

She must have made a face for his only response was, “This is for your own understanding of how the world is supposed to work.”

No harvest supplied from the earth, thus weaker prey must be caught. That was all they were, prey. 

Death was inescapable, but she vowed at the time that it would never be met by her hands.

#tw death #tw animal death #(( hi sorry this is feels like a random drabble but i was thinking about it since drafting a reply yesterday )) #(( think of it as a preliminary to development later ))

Mega Man 10 features a triad of playable characters— Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass. Unlike the former two, Mega Man 10 was Bass's first 8-Bit outing (Not counting his very minor cameo in Mega Man 9), and his faux NES sprite is... off. It's not a bad sprite by any means, but his color palette and posture being much too close to Rock's never quite sat right with me.

But what would Bass look like in my spriting style? Well... here's your answer! ✨

#Star's Art #Mega Man #Rockman #Bass #Forte #Sprite Art #Coolness #I've had a Bass sprite sitting around for a long while now— since about 2019 I believe #I've been meaning to post it for just as long but I knew I could do a smidge bit better than my first iteration of the sprite #So I made a few alterations to his posture and height and it was much closer to my liking! #I realize I could have saved a color by making Bass's armor a solid black rather than the usual deep grey #Though seeing as I went into this with the 'Mega Man Ultimate' spriting style in mind... six colors isn't too crazy #I mean. Just look at Amazon Man. His sprite uses six colors! #Even now I think that the above sprite of Bass that I drew is amidst one of my best character sprites #It feels a lot like a demake of his appearance in Mega Man 8 in particular wherein he has SO many good sprites #This does in fact mean that I'll eventually get around to respriting the rest of Mega Man's main cast in my style #I have preliminary drafts of just about everyone already drawn. All that's left is to touch 'em up!

i got a comment on my fic yesterday that inspired me to stay up until 4am and write 1.5k words despite my cold and my clogged sinuses which are both kicking my ass rn.

like i mean, before this, i was definitely still working on the fic, but focusing more on the outline and plot beats of the overall story. so yeah i def still haven't abandoned it, but that one comment made me remember like, OH SHIT i have to actually write a proper chapter and put it into prose instead of just vague bullet points sitting in my docs folder LMAO

anyway i love you everyone who is following my fic, everyone who has left kudos and comments, and everyone who has supported my writing in general. I LOVE YALL

#i think one of my biggest obstacles as a writer is that i get too stuck in the outlining/drafting phase #like it's the case for my novel (the one with my OCs) as well #like i start tweaking things too much while still in this very preliminary stage #that i forget i need to actually like. write the fucking thing LMAO #anyway yeah thank you to that one commenter but also to everyone who leaves comments #yall make my day and motivate me to keep writing fr fr 😭😭😭💞💞 #shut up haydar #hmm maybe i should make a tag for #on writing.log #a new ember taimizu fic

[wildflowercryptid]

insta seems to be confused as where i actually live, which is both a blessing and a curse, bc it'll give me targeted ads for things that i would definitely go check out if they weren't states away.

the major reason why i say it's a curse is bc it just served me an ad for a frog & toad art exhibit that's not even remotely close to where i live and i'm just supposed to keep living my life knowing i can't go to it.

#I WANNA GO TO IT SO FREAKING BAD UGH!!!!!! #i don't think it's a traveling exhibit either so i doubt it'd end up in the museum local to me #i'm in anguish i bet they have preliminary sketches and drafts on display too.... #there was a curious george exhibit at the local art museum i got to see and it was so freaking cool i want more exhibits like that.... #i guess i've gotta carry on my day i've still got packing to do #mj.txt

🍄 Update 🍄

I’ve decided to add a little wiggle room to the “2 characters per media” rule, to allow for more mushies to compete. For example, there will be 2 characters from EarthBound, but also 1 character from Mother 3, 2 from Plants VS Zombies, 1 from PvZ: Battle for Neighborville, and some others.

The reason for the update post is I’ve been wondering how to handle Pokémon in this situation. Since Pokémon had so many characters with votes all over the board, it would overshadow other mushies to allow them all to compete, but also I don’t want to cut them out while other shrooms get an exception.

I currently have an idea for something in the works to possibly handle this, but I wanted to get feedback from y’all on how to handle this.

#mushroom madness #Pokémon #poll #only 1 day for this one cause I want to get the results before I start drafting preliminaries

I'm not getting drafted!!!! WOOOOOOOO

Israeli Parliament Set to Discuss Legalising ‘Death Penalty Law for Palestinian Prisoners’

look up the conviction rates for Palestinians

look up how many and for how long Palestinians are held without charges, without bail, without visitation or access to lawyers

this is absolutely a prelude to formalized mass execution of political prisoners

#they banned the death penalty in the 1950s and now they're talking about bringing it back specifically for one ethnicity HELLO???? #free palestine #palestine #israel

Mammon helps out with the House's budgeting as well as managing finances.

It started when he found Lucifer's notes on the expenses when they moved to HoL. Diavolo was generous enough to give them a monthly stipend but it was the brothers' first time having to deal with something like this. In the Celestial Realm, they really didn't have to spend much or ask for much. In the castle, everything was provided for after a simple request. But now they're on their own. Still with Diavolo's support of course but far more independent now.

So Mammon sits down on Lucifer's chair and starts poring over the papers. Lucifer's already got a preliminary budget drafted but it's not that thorough. His brother doesn't go out much with needing to juggle caring for everyone as well as fulfilling duties for the Demon Prince so some of the estimates are way off especially in terms of cost. He doubts his brother knows market prices for things like toiletries and groceries.

Time passed (that Mammon wasn't aware of) and he was waist deep in the process of fixing the budget. Lucifer eventually comes home and sees him at his desk and making a mess (in his opinion) of things.

"We're gonna need a bigger allowance." Mammon looks him dead in the eye, ink stains on his hands and papers filled with scribbles and calculations.

Lucifer makes the smart choice of shutting up and listening to him.

Over the next few days they manage to come up with a more feasible and more detailed budget plan for the family. The only thing left to do is to send a formal request to Diavolo to request a more flexible amount for the stipend.

Does this mean they all (Mammon especially) become more responsible with their finances? Of course not! It's just that Lucifer now has a more detailed report and estimate of everyone's spending! Mammon's transaction history and his maxed out Goldie. Levi and his online shopping for games and merch. Satan buying a cart full of books as well as random ingredients he may or may not use for curses. Asmo and the long bill for clothing, makeup, shoes, accessories. Beel being the reason the allocated budget for food is more than half of the stipend. Belphie and a purchase list of questionable but exorbitant items.

And of course Lucifer splurges here and there. Do you think this man buys anything cheap? NOPE. It has to be of good if not the highest quality possible. He justifies that it's a one time purchase (but the price tag is still hefty and how long do you think that item will last given you live in a house full of gremlins???)

"Here ya go, Lu. This month's summary."

"What do you mean we had to pay 40,000 grimm for damages to property?!"

@meanbossart & i have actually been longtime comic collaborators for about 6 years now (sheesh!); i typically do story + preliminary page drafts, then he does inks + colors/tones, & then i come back in for spot cleanup + speech bubble lettering. theres obviously wiggle room & we've bled over into each other's "roles" tons of times lol but thats usually how task delegation shakes out when we do our thing

heres a snippet of a violent action sequence from SORTIE 1: BETHANY (sept2021, we're 3 books in out of 6 or 7 on this project), & as you can see we clearly have a one / yuusuke murata dynamic going on LOL. RJ's the stronger illustrator while i adore working with the sloppiness & energy of The Sketch, and i really love comparing the starts to the finishes & seeing whats been improved upon vs what bonkers sketch aspects have been preserved lol

ORIENT her more thoroughly than a man on health and safety rules, plant layout and production, company policies, job techniques.

Give her a preliminary training course to get the feel of work.

Relate her job training to past experience, usually domestic--interpret machinery operation in terms of household and kitchen appliances.

Arrange for continuous upgrading and train her for higher grade jobs.

Use community training facilities when necessary--trade schools, vocational classes in colleges and universities.
