#theres so much that contributes to this

[salt-baby]

yes, doctors suck, but also "the medical ethics and patient interaction training doctors receive reinforces ableism" and "the hyper competitive medical school application process roots out the poor, the disabled, and those who would diversify the field" and "anti-establishment sentiment gets applications rejected and promotions requests denied, weeding out the doctors on our side" and "the gruesome nature of the job and the complete lack of mental health support for medical practitioners breeds apathy towards patients" and "insurance companies often define treatment solely on a cost-analysis basis" and "doctors take on such overwhelming student loan debt they have no choice but to pursue high paying jobs at the expense of their morals" are all also true

none of this absolves doctors of the truly horrendous things they say and do to patients, but it's important to acknowledge that rather than every doctor being coincidentally a bad person, there is something specific about this field and career path that gives rise to such high prevalence of ableist attitudes

and I WILL elaborate happily

#theres so much that contributes to this #and its such a traditional field that any change takes ten years to take effect even when its not as controversial as disability rights #ive no lost love for doctors as a whole #but the deeper causes here need to be examined to understand how this problem manifested and what can be done to fix it #disability #chronic illness #ableism #premed #medicine #salt baby talks

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...

...and also being able to read things like THIS:

#art #crochet #fiber art #described images #image description in alt #used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE #see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet #i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece #with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same. #i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean #plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece #one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it #*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost* #if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡 #i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting' #did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO #i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3 #i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to.. #...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

Tangentially related to some of the discussion i posted earlier but quiet literally the first RW Art Month i participated I did it completely on whim like, one day before it started. And I mostly did it because I hadn't drawn a ton of rain world and wanted to draw more. Fandom presence was a lot smaller than and I was one of a handful of artists who did the entire thing. Fast forward and I still do Art Month and I've gotten to work with VC directly. But it was quite literally something I decided to do completely on whim that set the ball rolling, and for something a lil more niche and certainly with a lot more dev/fandom art involvement than most. It's really random how and why you might get noticed more than usual, especially with the "toss it into the search and hope it pays out' mechanism of Socmed

#t.extpost #and im hardly the fanciest art month artist out there so it wasnt even about being a jaw droppingly talented artist or whatever #and while artmonth for rw is still given a huge focus its also a much much bigger thing now with a much bigger number of participants #which is cool! its awesome how many people i saw do most if not all of last art month! and VC is really good about not just repping the #most popular artists or fanciest pieces #but theres So Much More there now and while its great for finding artists its also impossible to get Everyone in there you know? #Although they absolutely try #And this is like. one of the most fanartist involved devs ive ever seen in terms of both celebrating the art their fans make and actively #bringing those fans in to contribute #and its /still/ hard to get going just because thats how Posting is #i used to be more of a hk artist which is both a huge fandom and riddled with stunning artists but theres So Many #and niche fandoms are niche so youre more likely to connect with people but less likely to see a ton of engagement regularly - #probably best example i have for that was being briefly fixated on patapon. #Its just messy to try and find the hack that sets you up #just have fun and jump around and make what you like #get a sense of feeling for your style and some people will stick around for that vs. strictly the subject matter #others will look up the thing you switched too and some wont engage #you cant really control it #so have fun and draw that thing you randomly thought about at 2 am that doesnt match your blog #draw for that forgotten rpg you liked when you were 15 or draw for the 70 player max steam game you played for this week #you never really know what will happen #but its not really worth worrying about what will happen either

Cannot overstated how gutting it feels to know how much of my life and charity has, in fact, gone to destroying the lives and personhood and ecosystem of Palestine while being told all my life that it was for the sake of MY people, that it was good, that Israel needs to exist. No it doesn't. It never did. Jerusalem is a holy site but it's not our site alone. For millenia 'israel' wasn’t supposed to be a place, it was supposed to be the people. I knew the Israeli government was held hostage by fascist ghouls, but I feel betrayed not knowing just how deep that bile runs.

But, well. Sitting here and being depressed about it won't help anything. I have no reason to support a country that does so many of the things to its native population that the US did to ours, that recreates so many of the actions that we promised would be 'never again', a country that was only ever an apartheid state at best. Healing the world is a core tenet and I intend to abide by it.

#spitblaze says things #i fuckin. sure hope i can anyway #its easy to be paralyzed and be all talk and no action #i. hope ive been uplifting voices and spreading the word enough #idk. theres always more i can do #im not writing this to be self aggrandizing or for glory or clout or w/e im just expressjng how i feel #knowing. every single fucking organization i have ever contributed to that claimed to help israel was only hurting palestine #idk man it kinda sucks knowing so much of what you were told was built on a foundation of fascist lies to start #but like i said! being said wont do shit #palestine

I'm delighted to finally post what I've been working on lately! I've gone on youtube and downloaded a bunch of mp3s of various unstreamable songs then cut them down from the videos into individual songs with proper metadata + album art so you can just download them all in one place and throw them into wherever you play your music. Right now I have various EPs, demos, and singles, but I will be adding unreleased live songs and debut/early/alternative/etc versions of songs later on!

(Also as a fair warning, the early ones sound really rough, but it is what it is)

#against me! #laura jane grace #feasibly i could tag Every Member From These Eras but like. anyone looking for them is probably in the am! tag already #what else to tag idfk #audio #compilation #my contributions #anyways next up is unreleased songs like untitled 2 #also maybe some rips of her soon-to-be-released songs bc im a real [ALBUM NAME PENDING] enthusiast #and like theres so many songs from like. late 10s early 20s that were scrapped so like MUCH to come #anyways im 50/50 on posting park life forever bc like. I Have No Clue Why It Was Removed From Literally Everywhere so like much to ponder #and being like a thing w her kid like idfk maybe they didnt want it up anymore yknow? #<- guy whos definitely not an over thinker #like obvs theres a rip on youtube but yknow

This is purely curiosity, but are you going to draw scaramouche's new design? He seems right up your alley 👀

ahhhh i DO love his redesign! and after finishing the 3.2 AQ, i rewatched his animated backstory cutscene and sat there sort of just marveling at what a wonderfully written villain he is (': i'm very excited to see where his story goes next!

as to whether or not i'd draw him, maybe not in full, but i had a charm idea i was thinking of lately...!! he's become an anemo guy i'm almost contractually obligated to do so

#ASK EVER #you may notice that i almost never draw solo character art #and thats bc i usually. only feel motivated to draw things i want to see depicted a certain way if i cant find art of it already #and theres soooooo much baller scara/wanderer art already!! #one can already feast without contributing to the potluck. there is a BOUNTY #so tldr dont need to draw scara everyone else is doing a 100/10 job of it already #the only exception to this rule is venti. i will always draw venti

Folks, can we please tag posts regarding current events? not everyone is in a space where they should be seeing content like that quite so frequently

#lynx thinks #there is obviously more nuance i could add to this statement but i tried tj keep it straightforward #tag your current events and news so that those who arent up to seeing more about that than they'd like don't have to #and i get it can sometimes be a privilege to avoid those topics at all if ever but like #the human brain iant designed for a constant deluge of depressing information #and some people have trauma that could be seriously triggered by some of these headlines ive been seeing #completely untagged stuff just being shared around. some posts dont wven have text that can be filtered either #even if you come up with your own unique tag for all serious irl stuff thats still better than leaving everything untagged #i genuinely can only stand to look at news articles for so much of my day before my mental health dives #and i cant avoid social media completely because thats where i network for my commissions #but i dont want to unfollow everyone that posts untagged things #tumblr can filter some things but if you tag stuff then theres a better chance of it being filterable #also on an unrelated note it's probably not a good idea to just reblog evwrything you see without vetting the source #you could accidentally be contributing to the spread of misinformation if you don't check the source before rebloggong #idk. maybe this is privileged of me to even ask. im just So Tired. every day it's just mote death and doom and im so... tired

Room anon

I guess I mostly meant furniture and colors! How you'd put that stuff together and all!!

I SEE I SEE, WELL,

for that I can say is that its really really important what the context is out there for the room, what the purpose it serves and if it has history its before, Its definitely also knowing your characters well and seeing how they would interact with the room, what their taste in furniture is, how messy or how tidy they are and what they usually do. The house is a reflection of the people in it, after all! but it does depend and there are exceptions in some cases. You gotta have a good grasp of what you want in your mind first and then work on iterations to get it just right, get the idea on paper as fast as you can(even if it sucks) and then do some problem solving and adjust as needed. its all very trial and error

↓ shitty little doodle

IN MY CASE, FOR THE GIRLS IN PARTICULAR. Apart of my process for making the rooms in their house is taking the trio's house and then changing the hue of the colors to fit their scheme and making adjustments to make it pleasing/to serve the style i want. their house is inspired by alot of kitsy 50-70s kitchens and interiors, but i dont avoid adding things that may be modern or from older generations because time is weird where they are, not because they actually live and take place in the 50s-70s. I would often collect refrences to the side and do research while designing things off my head, then make changes to make sure its all consistent etc etc

↑albums specifically for refrence

and ofc for technicality! when picking out colors you gotta know how to distribute the color hierarchy on your pallete well, it also helps to check your values and make sure the colors dont confuse one another in the house, (you can do this by adding a white or black layer on top of your drawing and setting it to color) making backgrounds is another thing and you have to know how to do that before you get into drawing rooms, except what i find is what you can get away alot with natural landscapes, rooms/interiors have specific design principles and a need for better understanding on perspective to work in your favour. You can start out by observing your own house/room and base it off of that !

TLDR IS ....... make sure the house looks lived in/consider whos living in it and the condition its in and design the house accordingly, Think about what you want for the house to look like and use refrences as needed, get a grasp on a few colors and build off of that and make sure the values are consistent and not jarring or clashing. THATS ALL good luck on your rooms friend

#puppetmail #SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG I FELL ASLEEP #Ill edit in photos for this soon to make it clearer and understandable #if theres ANYTHING i may need to explain or i missed something ill be sure to hear. not an easy task i think furniture may need its own - #- long text post #i think the best thing you can do is just be a little more observant to your sorroundings. It may not seem much but it helps!!! #THATS REALLY ALL also ive played alot of sims games in the past so that may be a contributing factor

person who provided the spare parts but not the energy cell to the charging station i gotta ask. why

#mine #like. dont get me wrong. idc. i have 500 of the bad boys. id much rather throw one of those at it than the parts bc i hate farming them lol #(i only have 7 crates on me rn and they all go towards making the beastbot powerpacks until i get my last goddamn MINI. UGH.) #but like. just why. theres the daily up to give you one if you dont have any. so. did you change your mind orrrrr #did you realize you didnt have enough empty cells to care? im just fascinated. #whatever it gave me another easy tick off my construction contribution achieve. 55 more to go... #which if u were wondering: yes i have been working on that exclusively with energy cells! ill worry about my 600+ more tinkering items late #stares forlornly at my 85 remaining ultrasafe transporters. why did i make so fucking MANY. i had over 100 at some point. thats- #over 100 crates. 200 cells but idgaf about that. but my craaaaates. all those spare parts?? #at least i dont have to make the time displacers anymore. eugh. hey why did this turn into me yelling at mechagon again. oops #anyway third day in a row of charging station being up. we love to see it.
