#anyway I'm rambling again lol

[mimi-cee-genshin]

replying to your previous response about albedo: "He's actually so funny. Like how he casually slips in jokes and sarcasm here and there and even flirts."

do you think albedo had to learn what these things are (as normal human beings do while interacting with the world) or do you like to think albedo already sort of had it in him or something? idk, i was thinking it would be really funny to have albedo, fresh and new synthetic human, being flirted with and he's like 'what are you trying to do' only to realise it years later.

ugh. i need more albedo lore... haha -- @milkstore

Wait! I initially had no idea about this before because we really don't have a lot of info about his history besides his origins. But his reaction to being flirted with is so funny!!! I can see him trying to understand it and even trying it out himself.

Now my headcanon is that he has tried flirting here and there as a experiment and thought the reactions he got were pretty amusing. And over time, he learned that humans typically flirted with people they were attracted to, he became more careful about who he flirted with.

And now I'm thinking this could be an angst (with happy ending) prompt/idea of a girl from his past who misunderstood his flirting? And maybe she got upset at him and they had a fallout as close friends and then they meet again years later.

#ahaha.... #did I just come up with another story idea? #nope nobody saw that #mimi answers #milkstore #mimi's ideas #albedo x reader #albedo #(I'm only tagging this so I can find it again) #(just in case) #seems like I enjoy thinking of 'second chances' fic ideas #like the Ayato one a posted a while back #and the Kaveh idea I had but might not write #anyway I'm rambling again lol

I carried this thing for MONTHS with the EXPRESS PURPOSE of putting Raphael in it (knowing full well Larian wouldn't let me do that, mechanically) and I had one major miscalculation.

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #so like aliexpress used to have a terrible reputation in terms of like quality and truth in advertising and such right #but like. amazon and etsy are swamped with bootleggers and dropshippers now too #so I figured like. can't be any worse right? #besides I know how to double check descriptions and measurements and examine images critically #I've shopped shady sites before like back when banggood was the only place to get those cute diy miniature kits #(now you can get them at regular craft store chains which is Wild to me) #but I have never opened aliexpress because everyone was always just like 'Never Go There' #(but then again these days folks are doing massive temu hauls left and right) #(so clearly norms have changed even if common perception of aliexpress has not) #I open it up and I immediately find the rug I spent an entire day hunting for unsuccessfully earlier in the month. #and a ton of incredible bootleg kirbs. #and a style of hair clip I've been hunting for for *years*. #soooo I spent the entire day in a pastel fugue lol #(I have not spent any money yet but I'm probably gonna) #(so like I can't confirm that you're not gonna get scammed or whatever just like. use common sense.) #(don't trust sale prices read descriptions/reviews when available and try to avoid work stolen from independent artists) #(that's usually gonna be on printed stuff like phone cases and posters) #(and tbh I have no qualms with stolen official art as long as the quality is as advertised) #(but there's a big difference between stealing from Multinational Corporation and stealing from Some Guy) #anyway done rambling now <3

[baldandgay]

It's very unfair that I can't have other party members romance each other In my main game where my Tav is in a romance with Karlach I should legally be allowed to have Gale and Astarion and Shadowheart and Lae'zel romance each other like why? let me do it damn it

#it's not fair #i want everyone to be happy in their gay little relationships #(sorry Wyll but this is what you get for having straight man energy lol still love you tho~) #<I'm rescinding this tag because an anon reminded me just how fruity this man is and i'm sorry for forgetting lol #I mentioned it in my answer but I can really only see Wyll with Gale Astarion or Karlach and since Karlach is MY WIFE and I'm too deep in #the bloodweave it unfortunatly leave me with no one i feel suits Wyll #if any Wyll/Halsin shippers would like to make their case I'm here for it tho #pls convince me of these two i would love it (Wyll seemed kinda into it lol) #anyways... #Sophia talks too much #Bloodweave #Shadowzel #don't mind me rambling #just been thinking about this again #like in the baldur's gate at camp Gale and Astarion are camped practically on top of eachother and you're gonna tell me they're not in the #corner having a gay little book club???? #Also i just crave the enemies to lovers that is Shadowzel lol

[kirstielol]

tattoo day 2! what a difference in the pain and swelling with this one. i'm gonna talk about some perhaps gross stuff about the healing process so, a warning for below.

my last tattoo, on day 2, the saniderm (the clear bandage on top) was filled with so much excess ink and plasma it ended up coming off. and my arm was so swollen it was like a huge red balloon.

this time around there's almost no swelling, just a little redness, and almost no leaking. there's a little excess ink leaking in some spots, making some of the lines look a little wonky underneath the saniderm, but last time around there was so much leakage you couldn't even see the tattoo. seems like this time around i'll be able to keep the saniderm on for the full 3 days. so the healing process should be a bit quicker!

not sure if it's healing better this time around because my last tattoo was so black heavy or what, but i'm happy

#i love this tattoo so got damn much #also the mantis is a female! i took a closer look and counted the segments on her abdomen #which is accurate to the chubbiness of her abdomen too.. seems like a very anatomically correct female mantis #definitely glad i went to someone who loves bugs as much as i do #she also keeps spiders as pets! man it was just so nice talking to someone with similar interests lol.. none of my friends keep inverts #she said she's going to email me when this local invert seller we both frequent get these communal velvet spiders in stock #i didn't even know there was a species of velvet spiders that can be kept communally #anyway now i'm rambling #tattoo #100% going to book my next tattoo with her again though

[the-one-who-lambs]

A month or two ago someone asked me what the funniest comment I've ever received on a fanfic was and I didn't have the willpower to sift through all thousand and something. While rereading my old Narilamb series I found the one and only true answer.

#hannah's rambles #cult of the lamb #narilamb #this goes in main tag because this comment is a literary masterpiece actually #anyway i've been rereading because i totally nanowrimo-ed that series and while it is still beloved #and one of my favorites of my own works as well #i NEEDED to rewrite it so im scouring it for things to expand upon c: #got a great list so far!? #i'm adding at LEAST five chapters and expanding/improving the others massively #i saw this again yesterday and only remembered to post because someone i'm following got the same question LOL shoutout to bam and anon

[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]

ya joking about kentuckystroke is funny and all, but if we can be really for real for a second, drawing a connection between slade's character and the very specific cultural weirdnesses & religious... issues of rural appalachia is one of the most big-brained ideas in the history of comic books

it's only directly addressed like once & the rest of the time, it's just in subtle little references to a religious upbringing, but it's such an insanely perfect fit that all those disparate character traits i could just never really manage to find believable because there was no clear through-line or reason for any of it instantly added up like the second that fool started quoting the kjv from memory, everything about him suddenly made perfect sense

his weirdass "code" & completely amoral outlook on life has nothing to do with his brain being fried by being used as a human lab rat or as a way to rationalize murdering people for a living or whatever. that's literally just what growing up baptist does to a dude

#slade wilson #but 90s slade is definitely pentecostal because he had that whole thing where he went feral every now and then which is very penny #post-reboot slade doesn't have that kinda energy. he's just kinda tired and pissed and vaguely disappointed. & thats baptism baby! #if you have no idea what i'm talking about just smile and nod it's fine. and if you do i'm sorry about your childhood lol #anyway. this is barely a joke btw #reading the priest interviews got me thinking about it again.......... #i wanna make an annoyingly long post rambling about all the Implications & such w this one day #because it's soooososo good #the crunchiest character revamp ever & i'm never forgiving them for squandering it ! #(important disclaimer: i am from the area & say this all with love. begrudging love perhaps but love nonetheless. please dont be weird lol)

[shimenchus]

it's so telling when someone says radical feminism is "white woman shit" and you bring up the fact that in many places such as africa or asia, the only feminism that prominently exists is radical feminism, and for those places it's just considered regular feminism that you get told those women live in places that aren't progressive enough for them to understand their actions properly. to say these women are too dumb to realize that their beliefs are "bad" simply because they don't align with western mainstream liberal feminism is rooted in xenophobia and racism, not to mention a lack of understanding of the struggles and violence women from these countries regularly go through, which can range anywhere from fgm to men rubbing and wiping their cum on the back of women's clothes in trains. but of course, as usual, there's no intelligent response to this so you just end up getting blocked or get rape wished on you.

#my grandma was born and raised in south sudan she considers herself a feminist and her beliefs #along with all of the women she knows believe in what radfems believe in #being against things like surrogacy forced marriage harmful sex culture misogyny male violence and femicide #i live in a primarily hispanic/black area and literally the only people who try to push gender shit on us is white people #and if you say you don't believe in all that you get called an ignorant white supremacist #white people put the mirror down when you're calling non white people white supremacists #anyway today's rant is brought to you by a white guy who told me (a non white darkskin child of 2 immigrants) #that of course i didn't understand gender politics because i'm too privileged #and then went on to say women in south korea aren't 'booksmart' enough to realize their corset movement is a 'terf' movement..... #my mom always tells me do not engage with white people who want to play devil's advocate with race based matters #and yet here i am doing it again lol #/rambling

[strangefable]

what d&d class is your oc?

tagged for this uquiz by the lovely @jillvalentinesday, @cassietrn, @inafieldofdaisies, @voidika, @josephseedismyfather, @direwombat, @poisonedtruth, and @theelderhazelnut, thank you all <3

Ranger

You are a Ranger, an explorer of dangerous territories. You are fearless and cunning, traits necessary on your travels, but you tend to be closed off from others and overly pragmatic. Your connection with nature and skill with weaponry will carry you through most battles, and your sneakiness will let you avoid the ones it will not.

There isn't any other class that suits her. She's not got the magic for druid, but her fighting style keeps her out of direct warrior/barbarian types. Archery and nature, exploration and knowing the lay of the land, and using it to advantage? That's Micah. She's at home alone in the woods, but with party members she's off her footing, unsure how to interact or engage. Trusts comes hard for her, but a fearless ability to throw herself into danger? Yeah, she's got that in spades.

Rogue

You are a Rogue, a skilled adventurer who uses guile and expertise to your advantage. You are often seen as stealthy and precise, aiming for your opponent's weakest points, but you can master various other skills to aid you on your journey. While you tend to be underhanded and greedy, you can also be daring, clever, insightful and charismatic.

Sneaky. Underhanded. Guile. Charm. Greed. Loose Morals. What else could Lil ever be but rogue?

Artificer

You are an Artificer, an adventurer who wields science in place of magic. While your foremost trait is intelligence, you're built tougher than most others who place their faith in their brains. You are inventive, curious and occasionally reckless, all traits that get you both into and out of trouble on your adventure.

I admit it, I took the quiz for her a few times until it returned the right result. Intellect and knowledge, melding science and magic, those are Bright's Things. No matter how much the quiz kept trying to make her a traditional magic user, she's just not. She's extremely reckless, but it's not out of malice or a drive for power; it's simple curiosity. And a love of shiny things. She's clever but not wise; she's quick but not strong or nimble.

Paladin

You are a Paladin, a warrior sworn to an Oath, whether it be to a god, a king, an ideology or oneself. As a divine soldier, you are well equipped to strike down evil, but must follow a code of your choosing to retain this power. While you are limited somewhat by these bonds, you are also the most driven and determined member of your group.

tbh i've never considered what would suit Lore, but honestly? yeah, she's very driven for good, for what she sees as moral and right, for the betterment of the people, though i don't know if she could be defined as a soldier or warrior. she's about practicality and function over form or style, but she'd balk at the idea of serving a god or a king. her goal is always to help people, especially those who have no voice and no power. she fights hard, but she prefers diplomacy and compromise whenever possible, to save as many lives as she can. she's one of my purest, most good characters.

i realize i'm kinda late on this one, but i'm passing on tags, anyway.

[yukipri]

I feel like over the month+, I have like 1-2 hours a day max where I feel relatively awake, and every other hour I'm fighting bone-deep exhaustion. I'll bring it up with my doc at my check up on monday, but tbh i know the solution so idk if she can help

And I can work-work when I feel half-dead, or rather I force myself to because I don't want my cats to starve, but when it comes to creative stuff, it's like my mind is slippery sludge dribbling out my eyes...

The Solution, of course: just stop working 3~10 AM every day (and then taking a short nap, working during the day, and then taking another short nap, hours vary but repeat), and maybe get at least 6, ideally 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep at least every other day, ideally every day.

But do I see that happening? No.

Like rn I know I desperately need to edit fic and reply to comments and do several arts but I'm nodding off at my desk after boss DMing me work at 5 AM and dealing with repair people since 8:30 AM...

#YukiPri rambles #yeah the next fic chapter is long done #i just need to edit and reply to comments but that's like #5 hours at least of concentration and i feel more vegetable than sentient human #coffee just makes me sleepier #my hyper irregular sleep hours (i never sleep the same hours 2 days in a row...) means that even when i DO have time to sleep #i wake up/it's not restful #i've tried melatonin and sometimes it works but more often it gives me hyper vivid pseudo-dreams #stuff like i'm in my dream i hear my alarm go off i turn my alarm off while remaining in my dream etc it's dangerous #all of this also of course means i rarely have time to do my minimal exercise of a daily walk #and i'm lucky if i eat one full meal a day #it's like being in a perpetual state of awful jetlag #i feel like my body is not synched to earth and it sucks #do you think this is what inter-planetary jetlag is like bc that must suck worse than just timezones on the same planet #that at least has a consistent rotation u feel #hmm what was this post about again #lol disaster #anyway i think i'll take a 1-2 hour nap now so maybe i can do some fic editing when i get up #see i'm repeating the cycle again

[steelthroat]

Self-taught artist? Went to art school? Why not both?????

Artist who went/is going to art school, but teachers ignored them/are never in class/just care about their favorites so they kind of had to learn things by themself and then go crawling like a worm to the professors and ask "like this?" And they grunt and nod instead of giving constructive criticism.
