If you haven't already, please be sure to head on over to the link at the top and give the original log some bookmarks and likes! I only translated the comics from this log, so there are a few pictures that didn't have text to translate, which you should definitely go and look at!

Thank you for reading!

Finished scripting a short comic (its from Virtual Ground) with my OCs and I've made progress on the final chapter of the C Virus Fic (you're either gonna love it or hate it, maybe both, I put an awful joke in there)

I am now home from work and the ipad is charging so I can work on commissions AND I'm gonna keep writing the fic

fuck you shitty 2023 bad vibes you can't stop me

#you fucked me up for 6 months but you wont hold me back any longer bitch #shy talks #not art #I'm also pushing aside the paralysis of worrying that the fic wont be good enough for the time people have waited for it #if its bad its bad but its better than never written #i'm an amateur at best and its healthier that I resolve it rather than sit on it forever in limbo #at least I tried to make something and i'll feel happier with it complete

It's been a while and it's here again ! My little shop. There's a whole bunch of caejose to choose from.

If a piece you like; if something you want is missing from the shop, honestly, let me know and I'll add it for you ! I'm doing pre-orders at the moment so there really isn't anything off the table. ASK AWAY FOLKS :^)

also I haven't opened for every country yet, but for that too, if you don't see your location on the list, tell me, I'll check the deals.

Have a nice day !

#yep lmk if you need sth bc I'm figuring this out as I go #I'm trying my best but it's still pretty messy i'm sorry #it's because I am a big amateur #but I swear all the orders I've sent so far the people have been happy ! #it's 1 am what am I doing I need to shut this laptup and go to bed #i hope everyone has a nice day or night #artist on tumblr #shop #virgo thozul #i don't have much remunerated activity atm #(i'm doing ok tho ! i'm not in danger of losing shelter next month so don't worry #it's just another regular joblessness era)

npd culture is getting mad/distressed when you get an Almost Best thing but not the Best Best thing. (context: when i was younger i got a distinction in my dance exam but it wasn't a distinction with *platinum.* which is better. haunts me to this day)

#cluster b culture is #npd culture is #cluster b #npd #Mod Reef #anonymous #OH MOOD #my moment was pretty recently actually #the choir i'm part of went to a festival #and the ratings you could get were 1 - 5 with 1 being best and 5 being worst (with extra modifiers of + and -) #the choir we were part of got a 2+ #but the other choir (which we often go to places with and sometimes do stuff with) got a 1+ #and yknow i was already kind of pissed about our choir not getting at least a 1 #but the other choir (which is an amateur choir with people mostly just starting out) getting a 1+??? Such a blow to self esteem lmao #also one of the judges said our choir needs to be more expressive. my autistic ass not knowing how to emote with my face lmao #especially while already trying to focus on singing

Words are the closest thing to a way I can make sense of my somewhat-of-a-self-identity-crisis-but-in-writing thing, and even then it can only express a mere fraction of whatever it is that I'm feeling. So bear with me as I try to verbalise this in an at least semi-coherent way.

I've been trying out a variety of writing styles and techniques lately. I've been discovering ways to do more of 'showing' and less of 'telling'.

I like the indirectness of it.

Actually, no -- that's not quite it. That's not it at all.

I think I like telling stories obliquely and only providing vague details not only because I'm a lazy arse who has no idea how to describe things in a direct and clear way but also because-- actually, I have no idea how to explain this in a way that isn't incomprehensible.

I can't quite explain it, but I think I like stories that can only be told in a vague way, like providing the puzzle pieces so that you get to piece things together the way you want it. The resulting picture would just be your own interpretation. I just like being subtle and merely imply the meaning of some things so anyone can interpret my stories their own way.

No, no. That doesn't make any sense either, does it?

And that's only one of the many things I'm still trying out and working on!

It's just. There's so much to try! I don't even know what I want. I've said this in my recent fic's A/N and I'll just say it again here: I'm experimenting with different things in writing the way a child would mix soap and shampoo in a bath. Which is a waste of time (and of shampoo and soap, which clearly does not apply in this scenario, but again, really cba to think of a better analogy here) but I can't help it because it's so fun.

Sometimes I think I don't even *have* a style. Sometimes I think I'll never have one. But I dunno.

Just ignore me as I try to mull this over. I'm just 'in my feels' and screaming this out into the abyss that's in the form of my silly little blog. Thank you for indulging me.

#ramblings #writing #tw long tags #tw excessive use of tags to avoid adding things to the body of my post 😛 #my writing style is inconsistent at best #i'm only ever consistent in inconsistency #one second i'm a shakespeare wannabe and the next #i'm if douglas addams and terry pratchett had a lovechild #except it's less flattering than you think #three entirely different authors with three entirely different styles that i'm only a poor imitation of as an amateur author #yes i do know that #and the next moment i'm just a whole different person entirely #and i switch to whatever else my style is #but i *am* having fun discovering it all #there's just so much to try and i'm a little overwhelmed with it all you know? #i may speak as if i loathe having an ever-changing writing style #but in truth? #it feels very. freeing? i think #like i feel as if my writing isn't set to stone and i get to express things differently #depending on what i'm feeling at that moment #it's the freedom of self-expression except i'm not really sure who i am and what i want #and i honestly like just staying in this confusing grey area of 'what am i doing?' and 'what do i like?' #but simultaneously i *do* want to find out what style fits me best #i try not to think about it too much though #and just be a carefree little thing and have fun as i play around with words #i just wish i tried my hand in creative writing in a younger age #so i dont feel like a naive little young girl who doesn't really know what she's doing #shout out to my og followers for witnessing my growth from the very beginning of my writing journey #(admittedly i'm a little ashamed of that fact and how different i am from my early writing days now but i try not to hate myself for it)

me trying to design Maggie and Cellar as Welcome Home puppets

which became a color study that I don't think I still get

Clown doesn't use a lot of purple, unless it's for a highlight or for darker colors to avoid black. And then all of the characters have some kind of pattern on their shirts, which add a lot of color

It is so so good at being incredibly warm and friendly, and so so hard to replicate for me

#welcome home #welcome home arg #welcome home puppet show #welcome home oc #welcome home fanart #welcome home study #kinda??? #this shit probably looks amateur to other artists but I'm trying my best! #Maggie Magi #Cellar Franzia #they still feel very cold #and Maggie in particular is wildly out of place outfit wise #I wanted her to feel very fairy-tale-esque but it ended up being not fitting

the amount of times I've been (rudely) made fun of for using 3in1 makes me so mad every time I think about it.... bc like........ predatory capitalism will get you around every corner. I can't just be myself and be happy about it. tv, books, ads, family, friends, etc. everywhere you go. everyone's been brainwashed into thinking buying stuff and doing what rich ppl say makes you better. like idk I'm sorry but I TRULY do not care about materialism or looks. attractiveness to me, comes from confidence and a kind personality. it has nothing to do with how anyone looks, or what they buy and have. doing stuff to make YOURSELF happy is amazing. doing stuff to make a point to others that you're better than them.... idk man... seems like a waste of time trying to fill a pot that has a leak and could fully break at any time.

#listen #if you make fun of me in earnest #i will never forget it and i will think about it every time im reminded of it #like when I'm showering for example lol #im constantly worried theres something wrong with me #and that everything i do wrong could be The Thing #and i hyper criticize myself and remember everyones critiques of me #but all it does is make me feel so bad #like man idk.... im poor #i buy 3in1 bc i have great skin always have it smells good its cheap and it works for me #i want to stop feeling like im being bullied into having to change everything about myself #none of that stuff is truly fun to me bc no one does it for fun #everyone does it to feel better than other ppl and to compete and thats so exhausting to me #all the joy is sapped out of all hobbies once its made into a mean spirited competition For Me Personally #i could go on a whole other tangent about cosplay culture as well #and how ill just stop cosplaying if ppl keep taking the fun out it #its not about looking amazing and the best #its about having fun #the culture makes it so sad and miserable and unwelcome for poor/amateur cosplayers #or literally just ppl cosplaying for fun..... #tiktok cosplayers have been going off about this recently and i hope they rlly create a change in the community bc its too much #anyways back to ghe original point #i love joking around but making fun of me in a serious manner...... truly just sticks with me

I decided to compile the majority of the poems I've written this year into a chapbook of sorts, so you can now read Renewal here if you'd like!

#i may also post the individuals that i like best from it here #but i thought it the better option rather than spamming you #i'm sure the formatting looks extremely amateur hour but to my student's eye it's readable

ughh listening to victoria always makes me wish i was in a chamber choir again

#i mean i AM in a chamber choir technically #but it's on hiatus rn for the summer i think we're starting up again with the fall semester #and it's like. small informal amateur group #and we're not bad dgmw but. maaan what i wouldn't give to go back to the blessed one and a half semesters in freshman year #when we still had a proper chamber choir at my uni and i was in it. before covid ruined everything #easily the best choir i've ever been in and the most fun i've had singing in a choral setting i think #i think it beats out my allstate years too. cause as fun as allstate was it was also like 120 people #chamber choir was like. 35. and i loooooove love love chamber music #anyway. i like the group i'm in now and i think it's cool that we focus on early and renaissance music #like i don't think we even ventured into the baroque era at all last concert #and there really is some fantastic early choir music that survives #but i do miss being in a slightly more. idk. formal? official(tm)? chamber choir #with the early music yes but also more recent stuff. poulenc. rutter. whitaker. shaw... #oughh. to sing the kind of stuff that roomful of teeth does. that would be MAGICAL #sasha speaks

i'm of the belief that the neverending story movies were a mistake and abominations before god

#first i found them boring as hell as a child #second those puppets are awful #i cant believe i'm supposed to like falkor like no. that is a horrid monster #thank u to tobacco for the babysitter mv for proving me so correct on that #it's a rly good mv actually bcus it's kind of unbelievable terrifying #like sry to jim henson but the non-muppets puppets his studio made could be absolutely horrific #and i dont think their best utilization was in children's films #they r clearly their best when sloppily puppeteered by amateurs for horror and thrills in short form projects #also that big rock monster. uh fuck that guy too hate him #anyway i wrote this all to secretly endorse the tobacco - babysitter (ft trent reznor) music video thank u for reading

thinking of making a victoria sponge cake to celebrate the final succession sunday. the question is how can i write 'loony cake' on the top without confusing and scaring my non-succession watching family.

#i could do 'sorry your mum got sent to the booby hatch' but that happened to us so it might hit a little too close to home #also i'm an amateur baker at best and the recipe seems a little complicated so it'll probably be terrible

[changeling-rin]

Send the Chain into the Monster Hunter universe! What weapons do they take up and main? (Not counting Sword and Shield for obvious reasons. Charge Blade is okay but that's only because of the Axe mode. If it was just the sword and shield part it would be banned). I could see Lore blowing things up with a Gunlance to be honest.

I understand all these words separately

Unfortunately I've never played Monster Hunter in my life and I've also never watched any footage, so... you're gonna have to be patient with me on this one, gimme a week or so to research the weapons classes and I'll reblog to get back with you
