#I hope their year is fucking amazing

[kedreeva]

Went out to see my mom today, and we dropped by Michaels to pick up canvases for Artemis paintings, and I got some new paint colors while I was there.

Also got a few of those clear glass ornaments that you can put stuff in yourself to make into something? I'm thinking I might see if I can put some eye feathers from my boys in them (I mean I know I CAN I just don't know how good it will LOOK), with their names written on to remember them. If it works well, I might offer some up for sale, too. Stan's eyes are always so full of love with their little white heart in the middle.

We also ran by jo-ann fabrics and grabbed some Very On Sale fleece ($4.25 for almost 2 yards, which made 6 large square hammocks and 4 corner hammocks and one long, rectangular strip I'll use across the cage), and she sewed me up some quick rat hammocks for the boys. I forgot to grab some kind of ribbon for the core attachments, so I'm gonna drive back tomorrow with a loaf of fresh sourdough to trade for another few minutes with her sewing machine.

WHICH IS ANOTHER COOL THING. I gifted my second sourdough starer to my SIL (@teameagleworks) for new year's, leaving me with just Tex for now (bless, Tex is enough to take care of rn). Who!!! is finally ready!!! to start making actual bread. So tonight I let Sark pick a recipe, and I mixed it up in a double batch so I could have one loaf for him and one for my dad. It didn't take much starter, which was cool. Fingers crossed that it comes out okay tomorrow morning.

#stories about ked's life #personal #breadventure #peahen paintings #my family #also shout out to the kid behind the counter at joanns #I hope their year is fucking amazing #because it seems like they might need it #i brought a tiny spatula to the counter but it didn't have a price tag #and I checked the shelving and the other spatulas #like I looked for one with a tag or a barcode or ANYTHING #ANY indication so I could quote a price #I wanted a measuring cup sized spatula #and when I apologized and said I couldn't find a price #they just looked at me for a second and then said #well then it's free because I don't care #and put it in the bag #and I feel that buddy #good luck with the rest of the retail year

the recency bias in the f1 community is insane actually

#this is mostly regaring the comments i’ve seen about how ferrari are going to regret signing lewis over carlos for next year #like have people just forgotten everything lewis has achieved in his career??? #even last year! he came in third in the driver standings! #like #how can people compare carlos and lewis now and think that it’s a compelling argument #??? #the ferrari is literally the second fastest car!!!!! #but no just cause he has had trouble with his car in the last 3 gps he’s ’washed’ #let’s just disregard the fact that the merc is a tractor in disguise right now i guess….. #please be so fucking for real right now #formula 1 #f1 #lewis hamilton #this is not me being anti carlos btw. carlos is undeniably an amazing driver and i hope he gets a good seat next year #but please. we’re only 3 races into this season #we still have a long way to go #just chill #anyway #just had to get this off my chest

Lookin' at Askr's injured art and realizing it's basically just him with holes in his spandex........ thank you FEH for this one thing...

(also I normally draw Hrid and his attempts at adopting siblings so happy holidays to Hrid, he gets to be thirsty as a treat.)

#fe heroes #askr #hrid #amazing how both of them show up late in the book and then just fucking go away #hrid is only mentioned in the past summer tt as like oh man i sure hope we get to see hrid next year (SAME) #and then askr just fuckin dies #also pretend there is a follow up to this im too tired but i was gonna draw #hrid talking to fjorm saying i know hes a god so it makes sense but his abs are godly #and fjorm is like please go away i dont want to hear this just go away #anyway time to log in daily for orbs and save for ny hrid so i can try to fully merge him cause he is sitting at +8 #then i think its time to put feh down for a bit im just getting so tired of it #even the recent units i pull get outdone nearly every banner and its just frustrating for a casual

pspspsps porretta besties from the dark place who refused to bring this song to its end here's a little something for you. 🎙️

#it'll take a while until I finish the extended mix but of course I had to start from this part #you can tell the man have been practicing - Dynamite was amazing and so fun but sounded like he didn't sing for a while #and out of sudden had to film his performance in a rush because it was pretty chaotic back then - or maybe just wasn't for his range #now it's clear that he had time to work on his singing voice and feel more comfortable with the songs #plus it sounds like he had fun recording them - at least I hope so since everyone seemed genuinely happy to be back after 13 years #and istfg I can hear him singing the final chorus as well (liiiiight / niiiight / to the suuurfaaace) but I couldn't find the files #but I didn't find Door and OGOA vocals for it either so it's all probably mixed in a single file which is the one we heard in the cutscene #love him love his voice and I'm happy to have experienced this level (the entire game actually) blind #his performance was spectacular (the drowning video is still in my mind since my first playthrough but hey that's for another post) #anyway #someone give this man a Pixar villain to VO PLEASE #and that fucking bass btw I love it #Matthew Porretta #Old Gods of Asgard #Herald of Darkness #Alan Wake 2 #Remedy Entertainment #🎮 #tinyclowntent #audio

To the best friend I could ever wish for, thank you for obsessing over this ridiculous man and our beloved Monkeys with me again @sorethpid (Please don't repost my art!)

#HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYY #I'm not late but I'm late I'm sorry #Also sorry for worrying so fucking much abt this drawing like goddamn #but I do hope you enjoy how it came out #drawing the monkeys again after all these years is like coming back home after a long trip #and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you #cheers to us finally having the experience of attending to one of their gigs and seeing how amazing they are #I'll never forget that day and I'm so glad we did it together #NOW ANOTHER #AND I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST DAY #Alex Turner #Arctic Monkeys #TBHC #tranquility base hotel and casino #my drawings #gabifalcaoart

i just rememberd adhd meds exist and now im upset because i could have that if it wasn't for that freakin neurologyst we went to see that told us it was impossible that i could have adhd because i have good grades in school. literally the ONLY question he asked me and immediately said it was impossible. we spent like 5 minutes there. he could've at least... explained something???? anything?????? and now i'd feel bad about asking my parents to see another neurologist because that costs a lot of money :((

#now im just unable to concentrate on anything and feeling very worthless #ok gonna start rambling here a bit #vent? -> #i'm just not good at anything except drawing. everything is hard and i don't think i'm capable of getting a job and contributing to society #in any way except drawing. my self worth is being held almost entirely by my ability to draw. #but i'm also incredibly slow and unproductive and it's so hard sitting down and starting a drawing and finishing that drawing #drawing is the thing that makes me feel alive and feel good about myself so when i can't draw i just feel really awful #i just wish i could concentrate and work and be productive man. why do i have so much stuff going on in my brain. why is everything so hard #sadge 😔😔 #ok gonna try to draw i hope something cool comes out or i'm throwing my computer out the window and playing videogames #oh also another neurologist once told me depression can't be caused by school #i'm pretty sure it can but idk im not a doctor #what is up with these neurologists man #i know it's gonna get better tho. life might suck but i *am* a teenager and it's only gonna go up from here. #im still learning about myself and stuff. also no school next year that's gonna be awesome #don't wanna end on a sad note bc life is good actually #and i'm fucking amazing at drawing

[weightless-feathers]

Well, Merry Christmas!

They're gay your honor.

I wanted to redraw the drawing I did last year for Christmas, I guess it could have turned out better, but I didn't want to be a week late lol.

Have some time-lapse bc why not.

#robot trains #illustration #robot trains kay #robot trains alf #humanization #kay x alf #kalf #I hope all of you are having an amazing Christmas and end of the #year :P #Also it's very fucking late here I should sleep.

Being a human is literally like this weird combo of being okay and not okay that goes on forever except there is also death

#(i'm fine) #(personally) (mostly) (really) #this has just been an absolutely terrible year for our planet and its people and animals #and it's fucking insane that as an american living in relative safety and comfort and experiencing the pleasures and guilt of that... #...i can experience this horrible yet ENTIRELY SURVIVABLE blend of acute pain over so many things at once #including war and genocide and the utter hopelessness of that #and also things like being really really sad that matthew perry's life was so hard and he died #and also so many bad and weird things have happened to family members this year but we mostly have the resources to come together and deal #which is amazing and bolstering and exhausting #and my brain still has space to be excited about writing and numb to writing and angry/impotent about writing #desperate for feedback yet private and retreat-y and weird #always hoping to hit upon The Perfect Thing :-/ #and i live in a place that basically is not a democracy any more and also the u.s. is so cursed we've never been what we said we were #so a lot of my own perceived safety is incredibly fragile #but still so much more solid than what the people i am mourning for had #and none of the comparisons make a lick of sense and are in and of themselves deeply unfair #to the point that it's humiliating to feel guilt (making it about me) and simultaneously humiliating that i don't feel guilt *constantly* #and i have therapy this week but also this deep sense that while my therapist will be a fine person to talk to it will feel unuseful #i've always been a muddle of optimism and pessimism and i am very adamant that life is super beautiful and this is precisely why... #...all the violence in the world is so brutally devastating #it's just that the casserole of all these thoughts feels increasingly horrible #and feeling that way is 100% sane #and even intersectional frameworks and intentional attempts at gentleness only get you so far in the grapple #for meaning and for ideas of what to do #so i end up contacting my reps about various awful things #and zooming in and out on my fixations and having excellent days and terrible days #often dependent on what feels like a camera setting i only partially control #and i'm sure i'm not alone in feeling embarrassed that deep empathy and grief for people i've not met somehow ends up being... #...at least a sliver about ME and my little world #about me

[campingwiththecharmings]

rereading the hunger games series for the umpteenth time and one thing i always lament them omitting from or changing for the movies was those little details that show you just how fucked up the capital is. things like making the mutts look like the dead tributes, to the point where you wonder if they used actual pieces of them. things like them making those same mutts slowly munch on cato, dragging out his death for hours just for the sake of drama. it took so long for him to die that katniss actually feels bad and shoots him out of mercy.

#there are more things ik but those are the two that always come immediately to mind for me #because we are supposed to be afraid of the capital/snow #and don't get me wrong they do a pretty good job of making snow scary in the movies #and donald sutherland is amazing in that role negl #but those little things they changed always get me #because they're just SO fucked up #i still remember the first time i read about them #and they've stuck with me all these years later #idk why they changed them #maybe it was a ratings thing #or maybe it was just for time #like they didn't wanna have to explain it #but i'm still bummed they didn't include them #hoping someday we'll get a fan director's cut ala peter jackson's lotr #ignore me #idk what this post is it's just something i thought of lmao

guys i have been in a state for days. i am giddy i am gasping for air i am broken inside i am blushing i am sweating i am twirling my hair i am suffering i dont know how to deal with the very real possibility that nandor has loved guillermo for years and has been restraining himself, feigning aloofness, keeping his distance, because all these years he understood that maybe guillermo would never be ready for vampirism - and maybe hes been so depressed in the latest years because hes finally found someone he wants to spend eternity with, and he strongly suspects he will spend eternity missing them instead

#i truly truly truly dont know how to deal #this season recontextualised the whole show for me #if i shipped nandermo before now i am absolutely batshit crazy about them and its all i think about #wwdits #wwdits spoilers #what we do in the shadows #nandermo #this is just speculation but i just - i feel it in my bones #like fuck imagine having been alone for 800 years. fuck. imagine losing lover after lover and being kind of a disaster at romance actually #imagine finding someone you so easily connect with and theyre so amazing you love them so much they can even hold their own against you #and fuck they like you back. and then you understand that they are too fundamentally kind to be a monster. #and its like a fucking stake through the heart its like youre made of glass and youre shattering #i hate this and i swear to god. they need to end up together. not just to end up together #they need to spend the rest of their lives together and ideally eternity tbh #i dont care gizmo you get over the killing hangup and have nandor turn you and spend eternity in #bliss and shenanigans. like man. man. man. i love how this season turned out i really do #but i hope its more of a ‘he had not thought it through and wasn’t ready and also we need to have nandor do it fr’ #anyway nandor becoming human is also ok but i really hope that they find a way to navigate guillermos inability to kill #like. nandor killing for him or him robbing blood banks or him only hunting predators etc #or him feeding without killing people #just bc i still really like the concept of them having so much time together and their time together not be limited #i feel like after all those years pining for one another. they deserve that

I got into a car accident yesterday and my very fucked up car is currently parked in front of my apartment and when I was coming home from work today (in my rental car) a kid that lives in my apartment complex who I've never met stopped me and asked what happened to my car. I told him I didn't look before I turned and got t boned (figured it might at least teach the kid to be responsible when he's old enough to drive you know?) and he told me that his friend got into a car accident last year and went to the hospital. I told him that really sucks and I'm sorry to hear that. And he told me that he's glad I'm okay. And then he ran back to play basketball with his friends.

#I'm emotional in general today for obvious reasons but I keep thinking about that kid and tearing up #I hope his friends okay. I'm amazed that he was so kind and caring to a complete stranger. #I'm sort of worried about how comfortable he seemed talking to a strange adult but we are neighbors and he was in view of his house the #Whole time so that's probably fine. #Also for the record I DID look before I turned. Not hard enough I guess. The other guy was speeding but I should have seen him #But since I was talking to a ten year old I figured it was best to 1) take responsibility and 2) show how dangerous irresponsible driving #Can be to you know. Model good adult behavior to the best of my ability. You know? #Anyway I'm fine. I probably have whip lash and my car is fucked but I'm not seriously injured #And neither was the other driver #So I'm focusing on that. #I won't know if my car is fixable until Monday but my parents helped me get a rental and everyone involved is safe #Idk I'm rambling. It's been a long couple of days.
