#Two weeks of work well spent

[drawsmaddy]

[ID: A digital illustration of Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, Maya Fey, Mia Fey and Dick Gumshoe from Ace Attorney. Phoenix and Edgeworth stand in the centre, back to back but looking over their shoulders to smile at each other. Maya leans around Phoenix, grinning at him and Mia stands behind Maya, smiling at her and Phoenix. Gumshoe stands behind Edgeworth, grinning with his eyes closed and looking a little sheepish. Behind them all is the courtroom and various pieces of evidence and items from the first Ace Attorney game fill the space around them along with confetti. In the middle, behind Phoenix and Edgeworth, are a defence attorney's badge and a prosecutor's badge. End description.]

Happy 21 years of Ace Attorney!!! (and 21 years of me in two weeks!)

#ace attorney #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #maya fey #mia fey #dick gumshoe #my art #oh boy this took a while (rip to all the hours i spent on this that probably should have spent on uni work (-▽-'')) #i had to limit myself to just the first game or i would've spent forever drawing everyone #sorry pearls franziska trucy apollo klavier and ema i love you so much #i suppose i could have fit ema in here because she is in the first game but oh well maybe next year #also yeah ace attorney came out exactly two weeks before i was born! can't believe this game is older than i am even if only by a tiny bit #actually i've seen nick's brick of a phone so i can believe it

Unga bunga these take 3 hrs to make

#Artfight #Art #Hollers into the sky I'M MAKING AAART #Glad I still got it #Also was on vacay for the first two weeks of AF so thats. Great #Is it update time? Sure here's a quick life update #So I work at this tiny mom and pop shop right. Because they were so small they liked to take advantage of their workers #Aka me and literally 2 other people ever. I've been here for a year lmao #I always knew they were suspicious but it really came to a head when they accused me of stealing money #Btw they issued me a 1099 (the wrong tax form) so they already stole from me #I talked to the bank and had the delightful experience of slapping their account across the face with my guilt free hands #Metaphorically unfortunately #I'm gonna quit this week. I'm tired of these people. The drama was fun tho #Let's see. Ah! I just passed 1 1/2 years of Sky the other day! #More than the game itself I've become engrossed in the modding community hahaha #It's the weirdest little cranny of a fandom I've seen for such a large project #It's basically ONLY passed via word of mouth. And there's all sorts of fun drama happening within the discord(s) too #Idk this is just so funny to watch. Might get banned sooner or later but oh well. I've spent hundreds #It's their loss 🤪 and mine. Mostly mine. But also their loss 🤪 #.... You know. My blog is small enough that I could post some funny stuff that I don't dare post anywhere else #Hehehuhuhu I just might. I have a lot of videos #OH SPEAKING OF VIDEOS I'm thinking of cleaning up all my old vids and publishing em to youtube #Apparently I just never did that #May as well dust off the ol' tube of yube and my handful of subs #I'll just post the unfinished ones unlisted as well. Why not! #Till next time. Hopefully soon

laying down by a brook with one hand in the water like some kind of tragic prince , , , , , ,

#my break is now over and tomorrow resumes the final hell rush before the end of the semester #well i say break but in all honesty i spent 90% of it working or being so so scared for my car #i did get a little time to clean my room finally and turn into gelatinous ooze #though now i am The Slightest Bit Scared that i have gotten too oozelike and will not be able to fully reform into a functional being #in time to deal with The Horrors #(read: two intensely busy weeks on internship as i basically take over for my mentor all day) #(on top of the big portfolio assignment that my (project) partner Still Has Not Done Anything On) #like as long as i do my part i’ll get a B in the class no matter what but #aheem heem #my gpa that i worked so hard for….. i don’t want it to disappear……. #aaaaa it’s just hard to focus when i am so so tired and really just want like 5 solid days of No Thought Just Video Games And UTAU Dev #before getting back to my own big deadlines #i am looking at this document that i could probably write in 20 minutes but my brain is just. fried meat. #or more precisely i think i can get this done in an hour but Everything Else This Week? #i think i would have an easier time chewing shoe leather than getting my brain to do it all #if it weren’t for the fact that i would Literally go broke if i did not finish all this next semester #i would be soso tempted to take another semester off #only this time for my mental health………….

First night went okay. I just had a hard time falling asleep because I was covered in goosebumps. Heat can cause more skin irritation, so the specialist advised me not to turn on my heated blanket.

Today will be another 'sit as still as possible on the couch and crochet to distract myself' kind of day.

Countdown: 22 hours until removal of the patches.

#allergy test #birthday was... well- my friend and even my dad thought my birthday wasn't until today so they almost forgot to congratulate me #i miss birb and babe too.. i won't see them until thursday or friday because i have to go back to the specialist tomorrow & thursday morning #i'm staying at my parents' because the hospital is closer to them #they were working as well so i spent most of my birthday by myself. i won't celebrate with family until the weekend & in two weeks #it didn't feel like a joyous day- let's keep it at that #sorry for the tag rant #xoxo

#I know I'm likely catastrophizing and also that a day or two won't make a difference #But I noticed a lump a month or two ago and then dismissed it as not a problem #I cannot remember why I did this. Like did it go away? Did I forget? #Either way I noticed it again today. Spent twenty minutes trying to reach my doctor's office #Before I was fully losing my mind (it's terrible on a good day to keep hearing 'we have a patient portal!' and 'we do urgent care on week!' #Once a minute.) And had to hang up and roll into work 30 minutes late #Just tried to call them again and they are at lunch #Like!! I just want an appointment and for someone to tell me it's not cancer or do a biopsy if it is #Because the internet suggests it could very well be cancer!!!! #And I'm limited on what else it could be based on symptoms so like. I'd like to speak to a fucking doctor #So I can know for sure #Either way I'm starting to investigate a new practice because this one has reassigned me three times in 1 year #So I want to try to find a place that is more stable and doesn't have 20+ minute wait times to speak to a human #Update that I called again and had to hang up after 20 minutes waiting for someone to answer #If the bridge weren't an issue I would show up in person #Anyways I'm now hoping to get through at another place and switch PCPs because this is unacceptable #Even the 'are you sick and need to get in today' option had a 10+ minute wait #Why even have a phone

doing things outside of your usual is such a humbling experience...

#lizzy speaks #to those who are curious what prompted this: my friend and i are collaborating on a video essay together #we picked it back up a week and a half ago after it laid in limbo for a month or two #and we're currently in the phase of editing it together (scripting + recording the VO is done) #and MAN. my respect for people who work on scripted/informative content just shot up through the ROOF #most of my experience with editing comes from footage first and then edit down approach (rather than creating/gathering visuals to uplift- #a written script) and it's. well. they engage with very different skillsets i think #my friend who i am collaborating with is very amused at me because this is not her first rodeo. meanwhile me as a first-timer. #i am telling her about how i am losing my mind over my editing timeline having gaps of footage because i couldn't think of anything to put #for certain portions (or i just didnt feel like looking through preexisting footage on the internet and dl-ing it) #and she compared it to 'telling a kid whos going thru puberty that its normal' EKLHFGLHH #im ngl the way i have spent like maybe 10 hours today off and on looking up footage and fact checking the splat artbook is so. explodes #it makes sifting through an 11 hour batch of footage of me playing big run sound like a cakewalk in comparison LMAOO #anyway if you read this far thank you :D i hope that in 2024 i can continue to be humbled in trying new things #and i highly encourage others 2 do so too! try a new method of approaching something or do smthn slightly adjacent to what you do! #tis a good learning experience and also makes u very appreciative of the things that are out there methinks #im literally only editing an 11 minute segment or so idfk how people make those 1+ hr video essays LIKE HELLO??? ESP IF ITS LICENSED MEDIA #HOW DO U GET ALL THE FOOTAGE FOR THAT. U MUST BE REALLY HYPERFIXATED AND DEDICATED TO THAT. DAMN. anyway. have a good 2023 everyone!

Peace and love on planet earth???

#The couch pic was yesterday #Lasted five minutes before Silex started smacking Sornette and Sornette gave up #But the bed was today and they spent the Entire afternoon on the bed together #Friendship??? Maybe??? #Sornette #Silex #The last two months have done their best to be as shitty as possible and I'm genuinely not doing good #But these two bring so much joy and comfort every day #Even when Sornette pees outside the box and Silex destroys the wall #They are the best companions #(well wife is the best companion but wife can't work from home all week so ;p)

The first is a sword with a hooked blade pointing upwards, the second is a hand with magic curling up out of it, the center is a castle with wavy lines extending from it into a dark sky, the third is a beaker with steam curling up from it, and the last is a shortsword pointing downwards. The sword has a few dark red shading lines. In the lower right corner of the fanmix cover is the title, "heart of my own," in dark red medieval calligraphy font. End Additional Image Description.]

One more thing...

Check notes for previous instalments

'Okay, so where do we start?'

The witch says, 'There are two main things in our control that influence the weather: changing air pressure and humidity. Now, everyone does it differently but there's really no point going beyond collecting three things: hot air, cold air, and humidity.'

'Just those three?'

She scowls at your interruption. 'Wind, hot and cold days, clouds, rain, or lack of any of these... you'll find by and large that they start with those three things.

'Those will be enough for now. You'll need to collect multiple samples - for your induction ritual, your work, and my retirement.'

She briefs you on what you would need to do to collect each sample. You'll be following her on jobs and watching how she does her work.

Hot air: The witch would create hot air when warming up an open space or creating wind. You'll have to follow her along and scoop some hot air up before she pushes it out to where she wants to create wind.

Cold air: On the flip side, the witch usually creates cold air to stop winds from forming. This is usually when there's a forming storm that needs to be tampered down. You'll need to collect the cold air she disperses before it mixes with the warmer air.

Humidity: You'll collect water vapour before the witch creates rain. You'll have to scoop up some samples before the vapour forms into clouds.

'I have a job to do this morning so you'll be coming along to collect your samples starting today.'

Heads up we'll need to go through all of these, I just thought it would be fun to give y'all the reigns on which order we do them.

#polls #cyoa #i spent well over a week researching weather for this! but i am also not a meteorologist! so if i got something wrong #sorry to all my meteorologists out there i love you! #i have two of three of these planned so far so! interested to see which way votes swing #also congrats to everyone who participated! you all chose the quickest path to getting the old bitch to like you #sorry for all the exclamation points i swear this isnt a work email!

going to try writing sprints to see if they make me want to die any less than normal writing

#.txt #do you guys remember two months ago. when i said. oh. i'll do nanowrimo. and hopefully i'll get back to where i was with writing in high #school! i.e. writing like once a week at minimum and feeling like i'm gonna crawl out of my skin if i don't write. well. IT WORKED. #it's just that I forgot the sheer amount of time that is spent staring at the screen wanting so bad to write but not being able to

[nejackdaw]

Thinking about that time in our first campaign my character's dad (adoptive, a very important baron) almost died.

Apparently, he was supposed to. He was not supposed to survive contact with the lich. Don't even ask me how or why we got to the lich, genuinely all I remember is panicking because all of a sudden he had like five hit points and as the party schemer I had two thoughts that erased my awareness of everything else: (1) MY FUCKING DAD (2) THIS LICH IS GOING TO KILL US.

See, my job is finding ways to get us out of things, and as a wizard, I was well equipped to handle that. Except thought one, "MY FUCKING DAD," took priority over EVERYTHING ELSE. My little wizard was orphaned and down his only brother. This guy was all he had. His whole world. World's #1 dad.

... And the lich almost one shot him. He was collapsed on the ground and struggling for breath. This did not register as a cinematic moment to me because I was PANICKING. We roll initiative.

The lich rolls highest. I'm frantically looking through my notes to see what's available to me. Tries to kill me, too. Counterspell.

My turn. Throwing ALL CAUTION to the wind, plan only vaguely half formed, I run up to the baron and tell the DM I'm going to drag him back to the party.

"Your speed is halved from carrying him. You can't make it in 15 feet."

There's dead silence. Everyone is waiting for my response. Seconds of silence. "What are you going to do?" (DM speak for "please hurry up.")

"... I'm a tabaxi. I can make it in 30."

I double my movement speed and drag him back there anyway, to the confused relief of the party. Our sponsor (MY FUCKING DAD) is safe for right this second, but how are we going to fight a LICH?

"Anything else?"

"... I have a scroll of teleport in my bag. And I'm within 10 feet of everyone." Most importantly, I'd DUCKED BEHIND A WALL OF BARRELS AND CRATES so the motherfucker couldn't see me to counterspell.

There's dead silence for a few moments. The voice chat proceeds to blast my eardrums with excited cheering and laughing. The DM and I both pull up the spell. "Roll for it. Where are you going?"

"Home."

I roll a 99. We vanish from the lich's lair and are deposited, battered, bleeding, without guidance, in the charred, crumbled ruins of what had been the baron and I's residence. (It had not been that way until very recently. It was news to me.) There's relieved silence. There's an emotional reunion in what remains of our living room. I cast Tiny Hut in a defensible corner of the ruins after we all chat and we get what sleep we can.

(The DM would later confess that the baron wasn't supposed to survive and he had to change his plans now lol. We were supposed to be cut off from all resources at that point. My dad showed up in the final fight since he'd survived TWO murder attempts [ig the BBEG was the third lmao] and, well. I schemed then, too.)

#dnd #LET ME TELL YOU #the utter SILENCE. after 'you cant make it' #my heart was POUNDING. there was NOTHING to me other than this situation i was blind to the world #the DESPERATION when i remembered im a tabaxi and YES i COULD #but there were still other variables i had to account for #positioning. THE LICH. would the spell even work? where would we end up? we were out of almost everything #would i just drop us into another danger and it was all for nothing? #UGH #'i can make it in 30' i have never sounded so determined about ANYTHING in my LIFE #other schemes include 'suggest spell the enemy wizard give me his spell focus' #(he was too high level for us to fight but they wouldnt run. session ended mid combat and i spent the week plotting) #(roughly the decision was 'well he thinks were friends [charmed] and im ALSO a wizard so he wouldnt see an issue') #(dm had the spell wear off as soon as i grabbed it and we. two WIZARDS. played tug of war with the staff) #there was also 'i dont think we can destroy this magic rune about to explode but i can turn the table its on to ash' #not to mention 'hey i dont think we can fight that giant. phantasmal force loser' (we were in a narrow mountain pass) #(we were apparently supposed to fight him. the dm just had him show up when we went to go BACK through the pass) #update: it was phantasmal KILLER not force. i needed the fear effect so we could escape. i got the names mixed up #also i won the tug of war and proceeded to never use the magic item #now. the fully charged staff of power. well. thats a different story #rip the bbeg #oh this is. a long post i should add a read more #also on the slim off chance one of you recognizes this post no you didnt im not here

Weirdest feeling ever

#no i have stuff to do and i have to study but im kinda having an existential crisis so hm #im going to leave taiwan in about two weeks and im so conflicted on how i spent my time here #i have the feeling that i didnt see enough or did enough while i was here and met with friends #but at the same time i know that lots of time i genuinely didnt have the energy for it and its so hard being away from home #esp since i miss my bf and my family like crazy #at the same time i have family and friends in taiwan as well and i also want to spend time with them but the family is so draining #and its just slowly hitting me that many things i do here will be the last time i do #like being at that bus stop or walking down that street or seeing that building #like i know its coming to an end and i will and can probably never return to this specific point again #so im just. just trying to comprehend whats going on vs what i should have done #all the while wishing that i was back already so i can eat my mums food and see my dad in the garden #and my siblings playing video games together and my friends in our city #and i want to be held by my bf so much. these months have felt like an eternity #but i also dont want to leave taiwan bc it was a really nice time here that felt like being in a little bubble #when im back im going to have to work and focus on my bachelors and deal with family #like im really really torn about how i should feel and if there is a way that i can feel #so kinda wanna just bundle up and do nothing but i have my final on friday so i cant #rea rambles
