#I have a deadline for this one though

[wordsofwilderness]

Is it a bird? Is it a plane??

No, it's a new wip!

#Yes another one #I have a deadline for this one though #and loads of free time for the next few days #something is getting finish #one way or another #fic: valentine’s prank

[thresholdbb]

I've come back to Time and Again... it's a threshold day miracle!

#IT'S NOT DONE YET #yes I've been droning on about it forever and no one cares anymore very boy who cried wolf #apparently I mostly needed a deadline and new lightbulbs #but i remember why I abandoned ship #cosplay updates #time and again cosplay #I've been talking about it for long enough though like damn #not actually threshold for once #but it is our high holiday and usually I would point to a Christmas miracle no matter the time of year #ignore the wrinkles the iron lives on the other side of the house and the ironing board is disintegrating #the colors look so saturated :/ #I have a week and part of the roadblock is all the other projects I wanna do #my very cool 40 year old yardstick gave me a splinter #yeah I'm doing another so that I can go meet Kate Mulgrew it's a whole thing

Some more of that Chai joins Vandelay for half a day AU. Or just a picture of a kinda OOC Kale chilling if you wanna gloss over those comics. I'm still not sure if the colours are too garish or not.

These were mostly done with the premise of treating Kale's office like the hideout. I also really like how mundane, or familiar, the interactions between Chai and Kale can be in the game so I wanted to draw some stuff exploring more like that. But also, there's the ulterior motive of shipping so I included an out of context scene because I can't bother drawing the rest of it (though it seems like a huge jump in their relationship as a result. I think they're so big headed that they get stuck in a feedback loop of stroking the other's ego if an excuse comes up to do so)

#hi-fi rush #hi fi rush #hfr #kale x chai #kale vandelay #hi fi rush chai #hi fi rush korsica #i didnt spend any time finding a ref for kale's shoe sole so i made something up #besides that though i owe my life to all the uploaders of reference pics and interesting details in the game #sorry about the korsica comic i probably had no choice but to cram all those words into one panel. also i like the typo on that webpage #i gave myself an arbitrary deadline of the end of last month but found the pages to be too messy so i spent an extra week on them #whether that helped or not no one will ever know. i have to work on other things so im putting a hard cutoff now #i wonder if my want to draw perspective stuff freehand is a case of fearing what my limits may be or if its just a fear of the line tool #i adore that this game lets you add more to the music through your inputs (dashing on the beat etc) #just like the games i have thoroughly enjoyed from tetsuya mizuguchi #i seem to have too much time on my hands #thinking up scenarios is quick and easy to do while carrying on with the day to day #its when the brain decides you need to try to draw them that the problems occur #'tis mine

fuck it we bolas‼️ if you get me to 200 followers I'll write the fic that wins the vote

#i make yet anothet post just for me 👍 #qsmp #im committing to this either way #there is a deadline though you have until the end of the week to find me 7 human sacrifices (followers) or else i wont do it maybe #<- probably still going to do it #OH small heads up though! mangoball one will be centered around being funny and probably not fully in character #and the character analysis will be much heavier and more serious maybe it is qcharlie

pool scene but make it mermaid AU

#do I have a deadline tmrw morning? #yes #did I spend 45 minutes of my life working on this even though I'm behind on my work? #also yes #but i had a very good reason #and that reason is #that this idea came to me #from my sleep deprived state of delusional thinking #and I needed to have this done before my brain forgets about it #and this #is very!!! #important!!!!!! #my art #my stuff #one piece #pool scene #roronoa zoro #arlong #nami #mermaid au #zonami #zona #zoro x nami #nami x zoro #zoro #arlong park

I have three stories that I would like to write at least some part of before the deadline for the Inklings Challenge.

I am scrolling tumblr and obsessively looking up book recommendations online.

I see some problems here.

#adventures in the inklings challenge #i am having a scatterbrained week #so very tired yet unable to sleep #mind going off in a million different directions #unable to focus because i have an event at 7 pm #i keep trying to do inklings housekeeping and then forgetting what i was supposed to do #i would like a refund on this brain #at least the obsessive book rec scrolling could be useful for at least one of the ideas #so far the plan is: finish the short story that's been my main focus for the challenge #by just starting at the beginning and writing instead of trying to finesse old material into the new outline #try to write at least one scene that's more of a prequel to the other main idea #and if by some magic i have time left (where??? i don't think you understand the concept of linear time sweetheart) #scribble out a version of the third idea #oh wait there's a fourth one! #that's one's very scribbly though #that one could realistically be written in saturday spare moments #i guess the hope with idea 3 would more accurately be a hope to *start* so it's an unfinished story to write after the deadline #rather than trying to sneak in a new story under the inklings umbrella under false pretenses

Can I just say I'm so happy I came across your art again (I somehow lost you?) and I love that you're posting more here??? I love it it's so nice to see!!! Also I hope you have a good day~

it's good to be here and that you found me!! the reuploads come slow because I kinda forget + not sure how to arrange them. I'm a student on their final years so progress in art in general has been very limiting :') hoping I could do more though!

and have a good day too, thank you for the love <3

#qiiasks #tiptoze #deadlines are piling up on me that these arts are just stress relievers by indulging into my sillies #and i have the wackest ones kinda #though i do hope its safe too!! i never expected my humor to be received so well by others i thought i'm just weird haha #the art is just the icing on top <3

[toonagi]

and here's the rest of them

i managed a whopping 15 attacks this year! that's over double what i was able to do during my first artfight :D

in order (top left -> bottom right):

Tetris (EyelessPyro (artfight))

D-999 (Thestral (artfight))

Sun and Moon (@crabussy feat. @silly-solar-robot and @lunar-android)

#that one drawing of sun and moon took me like half of artfight i am not used to drawing ruffles ;-; #my hands are improving though!! i am improving at hands!! future toonagi human art? it's possible #i made that drawing of tetris today. race against the deadline #i've never watched murder drones or know anything about it but i had a primal urge to draw D-999. ROBOT DRAGON #anyway. woag....... gotta rest my hands now #despite the. uh. roadblocks artfight was fun :] everyone has such cool and creative characters #every piece of art or nice comment i got overwhelmed me with joy #like actually overwhelmed me. i have emotional dysregulation /lh #i didn't even get to draw everyone i wanted to #bobby fulbright tiger i will get you next year that's a promise #artfight 2023 #artfight team vampire #furry art #robot art #toonagi art

[yakool-foolio]

*coughs up a vague ditty about Lieu since I ended up writing about them for an exercise in my creative writing class*

#its honestly kinda helpful to have pre-established OCs when writing stories on a tight deadline #even if they're from another media #i still try to be as original as possible with my work since its my personal code of writing ethics #regardless of no one in the class even having half a clue what rain code is #i just dont personally want to feel like i have to stick to pre-established characters to write something i enjoy #i honestly love coming up with new characters and plots on the fly #its part of the fun with prompts since that's the framework so everything else is built around that instead #thats just a me thing though every writer is welcome to do their own thing #okay ramble over #rain code oc #sylvester nettle #my writing

I present to you: a budgie of motivation

Aww thank you, I feel very motivated ❤️

#asks #budgie #the biggest problem is that i have some stuff with close deadlines to do #so doing anything but that makes me feel guilty as hell #but hopefully i can finish that in the near future and be able to do something else with a bit less guilt 🙃 #though i really relate to that one post/tweet i saw about feeling permanently guilty since i was 8 years old lol

pros of starting to do hands-on stuff again after months of desk work: hardware waits for no one -> many short-term deadlines and clear goals / requirements

cons of starting to do hands-on stuff again after months of desk work: hardware waits for no one -> weekend work T__T

#though to be fair. i was doing a shit-ton of weekend work at times with my desk work too #last december i worked 22 hours one weekend #only to have my deadline delayed until march #the epic highs and lows of learning the ropes for vacuum chambers. #blondiepost

[hiraya-rawr]

today was the deadline of a research-heavy project. a project that ive been working on for the past week, even on my birthday. . . my group mates started working on the last few hours before the due time. i had to help them on their parts because they weren't answering the questions.

#needless to say #i was crying by the time we passed it on the very last minute #we couldnt even properly finish some of the other parts #i didnt tell them how i was feeling #i didnt want to dampen the mood?? #i just helped as much as i could so we could finish efficiently #i wanted to finish early because i have other deadlines to work on #they just #crammed it #i rly dont want to bring this up to them or anyone i know personally rly #just needed to get it off my chest so i can stop sobbing #to be fair #i was the one who made the outline so i guess that confused them #next time ill invite them to research together so we wont lag behind #im just feeling rly stressed about it #theyre good people though #next time i guess

I’m reminded of that post about how goths and people who wear only lots of pink are actually the same because “wearing only one color” is a specific choice in opposition to just looking Normal

I’m flying to a friend’s wedding today, and I recently acquired from my neighborhood free page a very pretty vintage suitcase in like a brocade upholstery texture in all of my good colors, so of course I needed a coordinated airport outfit à la Midge Maisel. You guys don’t know me, but I usually dress very put together, in what my sister calls Outfits, with a capital O to distinguish it from just wearing clothes. And since getting a full time job I’ve been slowly adding to my collection of vintage and 50’s-vibes clothes, because I just really like that aesthetic (my bridesmaid dress for the wedding is a vintage tea dress I got from Etsy. The fabric is in great condition but I had to reinforce pretty much every seam with my sewing machine, because the structural integrity of the original thread was breaking down, so that was an interesting learning experience).

All of which is to say that I Dressed Up for the airport in a vintage-y outfit that coordinates perfectly with some of the colors of my suitcase, and my hair is curled, and I have a vintage leather purse that my grandma gave me that matches her watch that I’m wearing and the shoes she bought me last summer at the same vintage store that my skirt came from, and a teenage-ish girl with whatever you call the 2023 teenage equivalent of emo/punk vibes, like the dark maroon mullet and not a lot of makeup and dark comfy clothes but like, very on purpose, told me I look cool when I walked past on the way to security

And like, she Gets It! We have different fashion goals but I think we put a similar degree of intention into the way we look compared to just wearing regular clothes. Which is cool! It’s validating. Not that I really need validation, but it’s always nice to get compliments, of course. And the way I dress is really not terribly distinctive most of the time, other than being Outfits and a little dressier than maybe the norm is, like I think most people who see me one time in passing would see that I look Nice but not necessarily see it as a cultivated Look. But punk mullet girl gets it.

#struggled with not sounding *too* pretentious here #I don’t feel pretentious but I have a hard time talking about like. specific choices and things in any detail #like to my friends I just said what happened with a picture of my outfit and was like ‘and she gets it!’ and they were like ‘yeah!’ #but to strangers I have to go into much more detail to get the point across #even though really it’s not like I’m putting all of that into it every day I just get up and go ‘i want to look nice today’ #in accordance with my personal fashion preferences #and then having to explain those preferences like ‘my name is alagaisia midge maisel darkness way and I’m wearing vintage whatever’ #i do look so cute though #i got these shoes last summer and then lost the heel cap off of one of them the very first time i wore them #finally took them in to have them fixed last week so I could wear them to the wedding #needed a deadline so that I would actually get around to it #i hate flying it’s really a testament of how much I love my friend that I’m flying #instead of driving ten hours to Nebraska #but it made more sense and to make sure i won’t be late or run into car trouble or anything #and I’ll stay looking nice right away instead of getting gross and sweaty in the car or having to change for bachelorette activities #i only know the bride so I’m definitely going to make a very specific impression on all of these strangers lol #i joked with my dad about adopting a trans Atlantic accent for the whole weekend just for shits and giggles #turns out you cannot do it over the top. have you ever listened to JFK’s ‘we choose to go to the moon’ speech #it’s very silly sounding #we had a good time saying things one might say at a bachelorette party in a goofy voice #‘we cho~ose to ohdah thihs maiule strippah… ahnd the othah things.. nawt becahse it is easyh.. #but becawhse he is hahd’ #highly recommend #mine #personal

i finally wrote an xword that i think might be nyt-submittable...i originally wrote it for the local paper though so i now have to go back through and rework the clues to take out the specific local ones and make some of the others harder. i know exactly which day of the week this would run in the nyt (if it gets accepted) because this type of theme always runs on the same day, so at least i know which clue difficulty to aim for, but i'm still finding it difficult to hit that precise level! i'm used to just making the clues as easy as possible because my local paper's audience is mostly people who aren't xword aficionados. i already reworked this puzzle a couple times based on feedback from friends and family but that was all still when i thought i'd be running it in my local paper. i kinda just want to be done with it but i've never had a theme and fill i thought were completely nyt-worthy before!

#i've been thinking that i would write a puzzle that was intended for the nyt from the beginning #but i never prioritize it because the local paper is actually expecting something from me and i have deadlines with them #so this might be the only way it ever actually happens #i feel kinda bad for the local paper that they don't even get my best work haha but also this theme would probably be too hard #for most of their audience (though let's face it probably all of my puzzles are too hard for various reasons) #aw shoot though i just reread the submission guidelines and they're specifically looking for themes OTHER THAN this type #hmmm #cruciverbs #i also wouldn't mind submitting this in collaboration with a more experienced constructor who could help me with the clues #and i imagine such people are always looking for greenhorn collaborators because it allows them to have >3 submissions #in the queue...but i don't even know how one goes about finding such people #if i submit it and they reject it no harm no foul EXCEPT that i don't know how long it would take them to get back to me #and if this isn't going to run in the nyt then i'd still like to run it in the local paper #but also maybe if they reject it they'll be like 'we don't want this but you seem to have promise so here's the email address of #one of our veteran constructors who would be willing to work with you on other ideas you may have' #i just made that up idk if they would actually do that haha but it seems plausible. and wouldn't it be nice? #i do have another nyt-specific idea that i've been spinning my wheels on for like two years #hmm hmm hmm. i think my best bet is still to rework these clues and submit it and see what happens #worst case scenario is they never get back to me. which is a distinct possibility given what happened with my #american xword puzzle tournament previous year solved puzzles (ie they never got back to me >:( ) #but that was will shortz. this is will shortz plus like 5 other people. he probably doesn't even see new submissions
