#3 pounds to go

[vinceaddams]

a fun thing you can do when you're a grownup is buy a bunch of ingredients and make 6 litres of spaghetti sauce in a big pot and divide it up into a bunch of containers and put it in the freezer!

#food #I used 4 cans of tomatoes and 2 small zucchini and a pound and a half of ground beef #and 3 bell peppers and a bulb and a half of garlic and 2 thingies of mushrooms and I think 5 onions? #I'm spaghetti sauce rich! I can have easy spaghetti occasionally for many weeks to come! #I was going to make it yesterday when I bought most of the ingredients #but then I realized the 2 cans of tomato I had in the cupboard were probably not enough #highly recommend making a lot of a freezable thing and freezing it! future me is going to be glad to have so much sauce! #cooking #I wish I had a cheese grater. I must get one

I'm still thinking about that post about how female characters and especially wlw and f/f ships are treated in fandoms because I got a reply that I deleted on my post about how all the Nein were big shippers on deck for Beau and Yasha that boiled down to "haha Caleb making a tower so the useless lesbians would admit they liked each other!" and it's like. He made the tower to Beau's orders. She had already asked out Yasha, who in turn had of her own volition written Beau a phenomenal, beautiful letter instead of a poem as recommended by Jester. This is factually incorrect and obnoxiously dismissive of a genuinely great dynamic and attributes all agency to a man. When you say shit like this you sound like you are Chat GPT. No new thoughts no time actually spent analyzing a relationship dynamic just "ooh i see a woman in fiction what is the phrase most associated with this ok done onto the next task".

#whenever i post like 20 times before 8:15 am like this you need to understand it's bc my dumbass morning person body woke up at like 5:45 am #and i was like well i'm not getting back to sleep and then pounded 3 cups of coffee in an hour #just to give some context #also if i delete a reply or anon know that it's because i wanted to reply with something like this and (usually) restrained myself #which is very hard for me as an annoying person #like. it is very difficult to articulate this without sounding like some kind of well I don't see gender asshole and that isn't what i mean #but if you can only talk about wlw and women in general in overused memes that weren't funny the first time #you're clearly not like. spending time thinking about them. you can see this with repeated phrases #like the reason why repeated phrases in fanfic or in academic essays are looked down on is bc it shows you're not fucking thinking #you just grabbed what someone else said and said haha ok done i'm gonna go back to a busy day of eating markers

i hope the kid who kept knocking on my downstairs window and ringing the doorbell as a prank has warm pillows for the rest of their life.

#hush n shush wifi #not brainrot #wifi's daily life #IT IS NOT HALLOWEEN YET!!!!!!! SAVE THAT STUFF FOR HALLOWEEN PLEASE!!!!!! #why? 1. it's annoying #2. the doorbell isn't quiet #3. it scared the shit out of me. knocking on the door is one thing but knocking on the window is another #since i'm nervous and slightly paranoid all the time it made me think that something BAD was going to happen #also doing it repeatedly either means you're going to eventually get ignored or get caught. think about it #grah i was doing something too but my heart wouldn't stop pounding #we good now tho my cat helped #anyways that's how my evening has been going how about y'all #good evening

many old westerns start with a custom title song with lyrics that very earnestly explain the entire plot of the movie that you haven't seen yet, and i think we should bring that back. no spoilers? no. all the spoilers. delivered right as you go into the movie through a pretty little country song with extremely on the nose lyrics that goes on for several minutes at least.

#a post brought to you by my delight at revisiting the opening credits of 3:10 to yuma 1957 #they didn't even so much as reference that song anywhere in the 2007 version iirc and it's such a waste. very sad #🎵 there is a looonely train / called the 3:10 to yu-maaah #the pounding of the wheels / is more like a mournful si-highhh #there's a legend and there's a rumor / when you take the 3:10 to yu-maaah #you can see the ghosts of outlaws go riding by (riding byyy!) / in the sky (in the skyyy!) 🎵 #which. honestly. i know what my post says but this frankie laine song doesn't even actually spoil the plot at all! it's just good! #it's just a banger that sets the mood and says the movie title a funny number of times. how could anyone not enjoy that #* #3:10 to yuma #3:10 to yuma 1957

Hi, uh, I was wondering if you remember a reblog (I think it was you if it wasnt you Um. Disregard this sorry) about small core workouts and something about their mother trying it and improving their health? Do you still have it? 😭 I have been trying to find that post everywhere (my bones… My Bones…!!!!!) so I thought I would ask you since I remember seeing your reblog it

If it wasnt you and youre like ???? to me rn super sorry whoa

AGH NO I ACTUALLY do remember this post but I also can’t find it Anywhere on my blog… BUT! If you’re looking for core workouts, I would recommend looking at Nerdfitness beginner workouts, as they’re about mid-beginner range and have different versions. Bodyweight for no equipment, hotel workout for little equipment and little time, etc. Or look into hybrid calisthenics and take smaller reps and work your way up? Argh im sorry I also remember this post and tagging it “find later” or “ref” but she is gone

#any circuit training is going to help your health! I would also pick up some weights — only what you can comfortably do 8-15 reps #of for now if you’re just starting. Like me I worked up from 3 pounds lol #body weight circuit training; weight training; cardio… all good to do #start with what’s comfortable and increase the difficulty by repetitions or resistance #ask #anon

Ch 529

‘What's this?’ Focusing his eyes, he saw that the imprint was left by a pen tip that hadn't been inked. As he traced it with his gaze, his eyes abruptly halted. "Yu…der." Yuder Aile. The moment he realized that the faint imprint spelled his name, an indescribable sensation surged through him, making his blood rush and his heart pound furiously.

#I was originally going to catch up with turning after my exams were finished #But thought that 2-3 chapters won't hurt anyone #And was immediately KO-ed by this scene two minutes into the new chapter #Why are they so ajshdbdbdbfnnfnfnfnfn #Kishiar doodling Yuder's name in the back of a diary like a school girl with a crush #Yuder's heart pounding furiously in response after finding said doodle imprinted at the back of the diary #I immediately had to draw it #Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #Looks like catching up with the novel will be left on hold again #orz #Turning #Turning novel #Doodles

not to be a dick but if you've been through actual university level art school and you still think that it's unreasonable bullying to be asked to push yourself or experiment with different art styles or to have aspects of your artwork criticised by people you asked for an opinion. what was the point of art school for you exactly?

when people say shit like 'my art school tutors told me my art was bad bc it was too anime and cartoonish ☹️' that may be true but I'm not gonna lie what I suspect happen is they told you 'you should work on developing a solid foundation for any art style you choose by pushing yourself to try more representational art Anne getting comfortable with ways of seeing and understanding images' and what you heard is 'NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO DRAW CARTOONS EVER AND YOUR WORK IS WORTHLESS'

and furthermore I suspect that you were really annoying in crits and took any even slightly negative comment or suggestion as a personal attack even though literally the point of art school is to learn to take and grow from constructive advice from your peers.

shout out to the girl on my undergrad who burst into tears literally every crit for three years even though about the nastiest thing anyone said to her was 'it might look cleaner if you rubbed out any of your pencil lines after inking and also used a clean rubber while sketching.' and guess whose art didn't improve at all over three years and whose technique actively got sloppier while other people were moving forward in leaps and bounds? yeah.

there were people who started uni as the best in the class and ended as some of the worst bc they just weren't prepared to listen to criticism or change how they did anything. and there were people who started out very mediocre and went on to produce incredible professional work to a high standard bc they listened and were open to change. and that's got nothing to do with who was more painterly and who was more cartoony or whatever it's just. when you ask advice and get something you don't want to hear do you chew on it and try it out or do you dig your heels in and do more of the same?

and like I'm not saying there's anything wrong with sticking to your guns and doing art the way you want to do art and the way that brings you joy. I'm just saying if you don't want feedback, teaching or advice on how to improve I'm really not sure what the benefit of art school is that you couldn't get several thousand pounds cheaper by staying home and drawing there.

(and I'm also saying if you come out of art school like BOOHOO NOBODY LIKES MY STYLE AND MY ART IS WORTHLESS you might. need to pull yourself together and say either I'm committed to this style regardless of whether people like it and I'm going to keep building on this style and make it amazing, or I want to make art that's more like the work people like and I value, what could I change to get more where I want to go? but if you lie down and say waaaaaah it's so unfair that my art is bad and everyone else is just more talented than me then bullshit. by the time you've graduated art school talent is not the deciding factor in the quality of your work. it's a question of your willingness and capacity to put the work in, take criticism, understand what you want to achieve, and slog through trying and failing to get a certain effect until it improves. professional level art is not an innate talent it's a trained skill, and some people might start further along the path than others bc of their talent, eye or training, but the distance between someone who's talented but unpractised and someone who's less talented but puts a lot of thought and work in closes extremely rapidly. it can be disheartening but if you want to do this professionally rather than for yourself you gotta feel your frustration, have a good scream and cry about it, then get back in to figuring out what you need to build on. bc we're all guilty of sometimes going HOWEVER HARD I WORK I'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS MY PEERS but no offence if you just lie down and give up where does that get you? if you just start going 'actually you should all feel bad for not liking my work more' instead of making your work more appealing or finding the right audience for it, that's on you not on anyone else. what was the point of art school????)

#needless bitching time #i just. i don't understand why you'd pay thousands of pounds a year to get constructive feedback #and then spend the year treating any feedback as a personal attack #save your money my guy of you want to do it on your own and you don't think other people have anything to tell you #then don't pay 6 grand a year to not listen to other people's advice #saw three consecutive art posts on here of ppl being like MY TUTORS TOLD ME NOT TO DO ANIME ART BC THEY JUST DON'T GET ME #WHY ARE ALL MY PEERS DOING BETTER THAN ME DESPITE US ALL GRADUATING AT THE SAME TIME #friends it's not bc you do anime art it's bc they tried new things and learnt new skills and you dug your heels in bc anime is What You Do #but like. successful cartoonists and anime artists are ppl who've at least had a crack at life drawing and realism #to know what they're stylising and how #I'm sure there's some teachers going NO ANIME EVER but I'm p sure most of your tutors were actually saying #don't just do anime bc it's what you know how to do. try other styles bc even if you're bad at them you'll learn something #it's not just anime like. ppl who come in only doing photorealism are pushed to stylise more. #you should be pushed out of your comfort zone. different styles. different media. that's not where you're being asked to END UP. #it's a LEARNING PROCESS #like a lot of my direct tutelage was like. pushing me to do looser more gestural blockier art #use an a6 piece of paper and a fat marker pen for life drawing #or no lines only blocks of shadow #or use a 3 colour palette with no midtones #or draw 30 thumbnails in a minute #and the art i made like that SUUUUUUUUUCKED. and it's meant to. it's not meant to be how you work from now on. #it's meant to help you identify what you're missing and where your blind spots are #and what you can incorporate into your work moving forward #red said

kinda fun to like. intentionally and actively re-absorb a previous hobby. i baked a ton in high school and always loved it. decided i wanted to bake more often again bc it’s fun and i miss it. and i’ve baked something every single weekend for a month :)

#tbh i don’t like eating baked goods as much as i like doing the baking #but i’ve chosen things each time that i do like eating #so i made like 3 dozen turnovers and froze them (so i can have a little pastry in the morning if i have an hour of time) #and then i tried this new recipe called tiger cakes and they were yummy #and then i made fancy macaron which i love #and now i’m making cheesecake #next weekend i’m going to make jammie dodgers. and the weekend after that probably chocolate marble pound cake
