completely starting to understand why people avoid south park like the plague

this kid at my high school harassed another kid, who hid in a closet from him

and said “OH ARE YOU TOM CRUISE HIDING IN A CLOSET LIKE THAT ONE EPISODE OF SOUTH PARK”

holy shit. media literacy is down the toilet

#south park #rant #alt rambles #i hate this kid too #he was like #banging on the fucking door #it was… super annoying #also he won’t get like punished for it because he can get away with practically anything #i could write a list of weird shit this kid has done

heyyyyy reminder for other cane users.

don't forget that cane tips need to be replaced.

i've been using my cane for almost two years on a near daily basis and i JUST switched out the tip and

[image IDs in alt text]

the new tip versus the old tip. i'm not sure how clear it is but, YEAH, there's like. half a millimeter of tread left on the old tip, if that

the replacement was LITERALLY 2 dollars. i bought two to justify the four dollar shipping but. TWO BUCKS.

i had noticed that i was having slipping issues on linoleum recently, but i did not realize how bad the issue had gotten until the new tips came so. PLEASE check your cane treads and if they're notably worn out PLEASE get yourself a new tip they're SO cheap and the grip i get on the new one is INSANE

please don't forget to replace your cane tips!

as a bi person, the bisexual flag brings me infinite joy and always puts a smile on my face, however as a person who has a Passion for Graphic Design, that undersaturated shade of purple infuriates me when it's used digitally

like, on an actual flag - which was its original purpose - it looks great!

those look fine! lovely, even! with the semi-transparent fabric, the way it catches the sunlight, it looks beautiful!

but now look at how it looks digitally

the pink and blue are so vibrant compared to the sad, lonely lavender!

and let's look at this statement from Michael Page, the creator of the bi flag:

(sidenote: he created this flag in 1998, so if his takes on bisexuality is different from yours, it's okay to notice that! a lot has changed since the 90s when it comes to lived experiences and the way we describe them. but, it's also important to respect his thoughts about this and the way he presented them, even if today, we'd probably not say that bi people "blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities.")

so in pantone colors, the pink is 226 C, the blue is 286 C, and the purple of the flag is 258 C.

but...here's the deal

Michael talks here about how the key to understanding the symbolism is to know that the purple blends into both the pink and blue. and on a physical flag, I think you can see that!

but digitally, it absolutely does not blend. it clashes badly, and looks oddly separate from the other two colors.

which got me wondering...what purple do you get if you actually blend 226 C and 286 C?

oh! oh, my god.

look at that! look at how nicely it fits between those colors!

look at it next to the original color scheme! look at how much more vibrant the purple is!

and friends. this is just blending through rgb! you get even more purple variations when you use other color spaces!

let's compare all of them:

(top: original, lab. middle: lrgb, lch. bottom: rgb, hsl)

look at all of the different purple options you can get just by combining these two colors!

if you want almost too-vibrant saturation, you can go hsl, if you want something more relaxed that's closer to the original, you can go lab or lrgb. and if you want to split the difference, lch is bright and violet, while rgb is there with its saturated but darker purple.

anyway, I guess I don't really have a point here? this isn't so much an informational post as it is Me Getting Weird About Colors, but I think it is a useful lesson about how colors look very different on screens compared to how they look on objects in real life.

and sometimes, I think it's okay to compensate for that.

out of all of these, this is my favorite bi flag:

it's the one where the colors were blended in lab color space. for me, the lighter, softer purple is close enough to the original bi flag purple, while also feeling like a smoother blend of the blue and pink

but that's just me! and it might not even look the same to you, since every screen is different, because technology is a nightmare!

anyway, thank you for coming with me on this colorful journey! I will now retreat back to inkscape and make pained sounds about inkstitch gradients until something tangible pulls me back into reality

I will still be angry that when I posted a fic I got spammed with kudos by a web-crawler.

Then… months later, bots like chatgpt became super popular.

edit: This was on ao3, a website that refuses to leave beta so it doesn’t have to be monetized. A free resource.

#chat gpt #i hate ai #alt rambles #hi. this is part of the reason I haven’t even touched my fic #it killed my motivation.

Can't believe I'm seriously considering using this.

"It is a truth, often forgot, that the end is very rarely the end."

This was a fun lineup to do! The closeups are below the cut, and I've put design details/reasoning in the alt text. I rambled a bit this time, I hope people don't find that annoying.

#artists on tumblr #digital #sfw #lineup #alice in wonderland #alice #the mechs #the mechanisms #the mechs alice #tales to be told #i really put a lott in the alt this time. I just like talking about the thought process #also as mentioned i have worked on this bad boy intensely for like 3 days #sidenote!! did you know that if you draw the underlying anatomy #the clothes will look better? #wild. And totally unfair. because now i actually have to draw all that stuff #anyway I really want to draw Lyssa and Actea too. And Arachne and Athena! #annnnd i should draw the Puppetshades lineup. I'm tardy with it. #anyway. im in a talkative mood today. Tag ramble over!
