Once again frustrated by how Difficult it is to do very basic tasks

#this is not even about executive dysfunction today #today i'm annoyed my phone simply won't make calls and every pharmacy i have contacted charges $100 for the covid vaccine #they're paying these kids $13 an hour obviously they haven't heard about the cdc program #they don't like train you on that stuff i get it #it's just. i would like a vaccine to put off getting covid again thus putting off the disability i'll eventually get from it #given enough times it's bound to fuck me up for good i'm just trying to make money until then #but it's just hard. everything is hard for no reason #i could just pay the $100 i guess it's doable it's just a bummer #i'm trying to save up to get out of this state give me a break i am very tired

once again screaming crying throwing up about the fact that infinity train was prematurely cancelled despite being contracted for 5 seasons.

#infinity train #like i really really want all 8 seasons. & i really really want present day!amelia and all that would come with that (e.g. hazel and grace) #but i feel like i would be so much more content with the show's cancellation if we had the bow on top of it all that was the amelia season #because she was the villain from s1 #the fallout of her villanry births the antagonists from s2. #she appears again in s3 having moved on slightly and changed her outlook. thereby creating a somewhat optimistic outlook on the end point of #her story #and s4 shows (in parts) her descent into villany. #she's been the main reocurring presence in the whole show and her train motivation (unbearable grief) and villain arc are the most #complex the show would've handled #i truly believe that if they had been allowed to make it it would have served as a perfect ending to the show #because she's been built up for so long and because the writers would've had so much material to work with AND detail to pay attention to #it wouldve been spectacular.... and everything they wanted to explore in later seasons wouldve been so good too #(older tulip and revenge and acceptance of something as complicated as alzheimer's disease) #(and i also think it wouldve been neat for them to show us a glimpse of 40 y/o rymin cuz those boys have major issues still when they get #off the train #and so id like a snapshot of them in the future that shows they worked things out) #yeah. justice 4 infinity train justice 4 amelia hughes. i want to fuck that 60y/o deeply evil woman so badly and i need her back in my life

Comments like these make me so happy!!! I did months of accent training for Fletcher. I'm always worried about misrepresenting accents so I obsess over getting them right, I'm so happy when they pay off.

#I'm kind of insecure about doing accents #Probably because I get so pissy when people mess up a Castellano accent #so maybe I'm projecting #but it motivates me to do accent training before attempting any accent that isn't my own #so I guess it pays off #escaped audios #blue Infinity #escaped audios fletcher

I am currently going thru every chapter from the beginning so i can gather screenshots of everyone's emotions

Even tho i BET one of u hyperfixators already has an entire library all cleaned and ready for use

But i'm gettin some fun outta reliving the old days so who am i to deprive myself of some choice🤌👌nostalgia

#i was brainwashed by the yakumond core. i thought they were always peaceful and sweet together #LIES. LIES FABRICATED BY OWN WISHFUL THINKING. yakumond's first meeting was a Fight ready to break out #yakumo going DONT BULLY EIDEN and edmond going BITCH DO NOT GET IN MY WAY #and eiden going GIRLS GIRLS PLEASE LET'S ALL JUST BREATHE AND CALM DOWN OK?????? #it pays off to revisit canon #my mind warped yakumo into the softiest squoshiest nothingbaby in canon's absence lol #i forgot that he actually stood up for eiden this early in their relationship. and so vehemently too #also now that everyone is fully voiced i can train my vocal...identification?! #i rly cant tell the difference between voices well. i try to guess who says nucarnival! on the game's opening screen #i can only ever pick out aster 🫢🫣💦

I ended up experimenting to see what he would look like sans black outline, I really love it actually. But, I'm unsure if I like it for the overall game aesthetic- Not sure if it will be enough of a contrast for them to pop out without it. We'll see-

Either way I love him

I'm going to give him an idle animation once O is in bed <3

the possibility of pixelated arguments is now reachable

#twotalesgamedev #sga #radek zelenka #2D #being trained in art and animation is really paying off right now - who knew I could actually use my degree - certainly not me

[awkwardee]

tell me that i’m cutthroat

#pact #pact web serial #pact wildbow #wildbow #blake thorburn #my art #fanart #i'm really really fucking happy with how this came out #and so my training arc pays off #blake #otherverse #killer in the killer in the killer in the mirror oh o oh oh o oh

[carlyraejepsans]

....i took the wrong fucking train

#I HAD TO TAKE THE REGIONAL FJSJFJSKFKSK #accidentally took the highspeed one (which was 30 minutes late on the same rail AND at the same time as mine) #and i paid ANOTHER ticket bc my only alternative otherwise was getting off at the next stop #and google said the next regional train there would pass tomorrow morning #except i looked at the official site closer now and THAT WAS STRAIGHT UP A FUCKING LIE #MY REGULAR TRAIN WOULD GET THERE COMPLETELY NORMALLY #AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANY MORE THAN I DID OR GET FINED #*AND* NOW I HAVE TO GO TO FUCKING MILANO CENTRALE TOO AT NIGHT i am going to kill myself

[stuckinapril]

might have a parisian girl era soon. we’ll see

#uncle who lives in belgium knows i graduated a year early + currently studying for the mcat #and he’s practically begging me to visit him in belgium and study there #and belgium is only around 2 hours away from paris so you best believe id be taking the train there every day #the thing is i study full time & only have a minimal part time job on the side so he and my mom would have to foot that bill #and idk i’d feel so bad. i’m already so spoiled. like i never had to work a day in my life but im 21 #it’s very much in arab culture to spoil the daughters like this but still !!! #it just feels like i have to put my big girl pants on and start saving + relying on myself more & more when it comes to that #so that’s probably what i’ll be doing. plus i have research + my neuro internship here and i cant just drop that #but once i get a research publication in a few months + save up my own money im seriously considering j putting myself on a plane & going #i’m sure he and my mom would have no problem paying but it feels wrong. this is one thing i rly wanna pay upfront myself i think #but if i do manage to pull it off it’d be so cool bc i rly wanna see him #and i rly wanna bust out the 8 years i have in french #p

WHOS READY FOR SOME CENTENNIALS!!!!!! unasked for explanations below once again

This set of designs is different from Ryan's because i basically just traced my old sketches and redid them digitally to give them colour so there are less design details (sorry lmao)

ANYWAY continuing with the "time-accurate" clothing choices, I'm hoping it's more obvious with loey and neas this time. You have no idea how RELIEVED i felt when i saw neas' third overhaul was in the 2000s. I love details but I have been working with suits for like 30 designs by now.

Because I did these back in october I don't really have proper ref images but if you googled men's fashion for each of their respective eras you should get pretty good results and if you don't im sorry💀

Not sure if it's obvious but they're supposed to "age" with every overhaul, yea im aware my ability to draw people older than 40 is nonexistent-

On that note, I have a more in-depth hc for how the "human" of an engine appears which would explain how loey and neas can "age" but the short version is the "human" is a combination of the maturity of an engine's mentality and the engine's actual age

I do not know enough of the Skarloey Railway lore to back my headcanons but I hc that during their early days, the SR was more strict with appearances, hence the suit jackets and whatnot (kinda like how RWS SR engines all have the same livery)

Towards the SR's later days, the change of directorship and the increasing diversity of their rolling stock led to much more relaxed regulations on appearances. The jackets that the overhaul 2 designs are holding would look similar to the jacket that overhaul 1 loey is wearing, which would bear the engine's nametag and the signature red shoulder pad designating an engine's gauge

Also the nametag and specifically the number badge were details added later when I finished my handel and petah designs, yes I love it a lot that's why i mentioend it.

Overhaul 1 neas is particularly different from overhaul 1 loey because for one they're two different decades, but also the time between his first and second overhaul was when neas had to run the line on his own (not to mention the world war woah...)

I haven't really figured out specific height hcs yet but neas and loey are around the same height as each other but grow a tad with each overhaul

ok das it for this one i think, thank yall for the wonderful reception of ryan im so happy yall loved him😭🥹also thanks for making it to the end next time it's probably gonna be handel and petah<3

#ttte skarloey #ttte rheneas #ttte humanized #ttte #i was working on and off this for a whole ass week thats why this took so long #that said im thinking of throwing duncan in a blender (uncalled for???) hes like a squeaky toy #capy's graffiti #pictures in the reception hall #capy posting #also i was rewatching slotlt the other day and like. its actually ridiculous #if thomas' drivers had any will of their own none of this would have happened #unfortunately that little fucker was driving around helping some guy dig at like. 4am and the drivers were just like aight cool #and you KNOW they were in there cuz they were there during the entire end chase scene #like they HAD to address that by showing thomas' crew jumping out before he fell into the sea #also ryan during the chase scene. “hey mr crew i know ur off work but im really worried about my train friend can we go for a drive :(” #and those crazy bitches said YEAH SURE AND THEY WENT #LIKE IS THE PAY THAT GOOD???? #dont get me wrong id drive around with ryan at 2am any day of the week but like #so much of the cgi era's events were dependent on the trains' crews having 0 autonomy beyond driving an engine #and i just think thats so hilarious

Spent two years being afraid to try bridling Stevie again because she used to flip out so badly (with or without a bit), so I just rode in her rope halter

Stevie: hold my beer *self bridling in two sessions with literally no issues*

Gonna keep practicing with this cheap cavesson before I try her custom-made sidepull, but I never thought we'd get this far, let alone so quickly 😭

#my horse #stevie #now to be fair i think it wasnt a bridling problem #it was a lot of little triggers that were all activated by the motion of bridling #ive worked on those little triggers every single day for the past year just passively handling her #and it's really paying off #and i have also learned sooooo much in training in the past two years now that im finally working with her every single day #i both love and hate that the training problem is almost always the human lmao

[pikslasrce]

im going to do it for real this time (drop out and get a job)

#my bro got himself a job at some idk tech startup that works w u.s. moving companies and theyre still hiring so im thinking like #what the hell ill give it a shot id have to get training first anyways so if i dont like it ill just say 'this isnt for me buh bye' #and i mean. i could always quit after a few months etc. but uni?? im quitting that shit for good i am NOT coming back... #ill just wait till october and then just. not enroll for the next year.. #which also gives me time to use the lovely student benefits (health insurance) before i drop out... #ive been putting off making those appointments so like. best to take advantage of it while i still can #and also the plan is to take a graphic design course or sth so i can have at least an online certificate or sth for employability #so if all else fails im going into graphic design and illustration NOT CLICKBAIT. hopefully some ppl i know could even get me into somewher #hashtag networking pays off #piksla.txt

#man past hyperfixated on eomer me would have been over the moon with a never before seen bts photo #and that a little more of the lotr fandom is paying attention to him now whereas his tag used to be just tumbleweeds a few years ago #i still love my og blorbo just not with the toe curling enthusiasm i used to have lol i miss it!!! #i dropped off the eomer train too early. maybe it was because i felt like i was the only one driving it but you cant help what your brain #- wants to fixate on sometimes #and now i'm fixated on my own oc lmfao
