#but the shopping part is fine

[vimbry]

this wasn't a recent dream, but I don't think I ever posted about the one I had where they might be giants were playing an in-store concert at a bookshop/supermarket, which was somehow 2024 and 2004 at the same time.

I could hear them playing and even see the band a little whenever I craned my neck above the bookshelves and crowd, but no matter where I walked, I couldn't find my way through the maze of aisles to actually get to where they were.

#dream diary #I've had like 3 stress dreams now involving supermarkets #I don't even find the supermarket scary #ok maybe a little scary when I get to the self checkout (and they've got those cameras now ew) #and I'm looking around at everyone like hm am I somehow making a mistake despite having shopped many times before #am I comitting any grocery faux pas somehow. am I being a person correctly is this how everyone scans their groceries #but the shopping part is fine

more keykid things!!!!!!!!!!!! The design's based on my original player character avatar i used when i was active on khux with a few swaps (mainly cause i had no idea there was a moogle headband lol)

#she's around 15 during khux #when i first made her she was a deliverygirl for the moogle shop hence the sack on her back haha #man i cant believe shes almost 8 years old now that's really weird to think about #also im an oldhead on khux i always thought the colosseum ranking outfits were so good but they stopped doing that on the first year i thin #so a lot of people missed out on so many good outfits and it made me sad #but they let you use any avatar part now in the offline ver so actually its fine lol #i had an alternate outfit i used that was just the ursus regalia armor bc i rly liked the lux particles #but thats not really a flex bc ursus was the lowest ranking union for the entirety of the game's lifecycle rip #i was in vulpes for the first few years but i switched over to ursus to get better ranking prizes bc i could be in a top 5 ranking union lo #anyways #im rambling in my tags oops #talking #ig #kingdom hearts #khux #keykid #oc

The great thing about being in charge of our own book design stuff is that we can, in fact, decide to go through a ridiculous amount of effort to create custom headers for every chapter.

We've gotten about two thirds of the way through Shadow Herald's headers right now. Downside; every time a chapter takes place in a new location, we have to draw that location. Upside; every time we draw a location, we can reuse it later. My gods do the shop interiors take forever.

#book design #writeblr #writing community #booklr #indie books #look we finished Charlan's shop today and it is very charming but it took us two days to do #only locations left in this book are the World's Wound and the interior of Silamir's temple #i think we're gonna . . . cheat a little for camp Veldin and either just reuse the (six different seasonal) forest BGs for full mileage #maybe add an overlay layer with a couple tents to make it Specifically Camp Veldin as opposed to just any ol' part of the woods #we will have to. draw the inside. of the Matrius' palace. and also the royal registry. #but i think the registry will not be too bad probably? #the question is simply where is it fine to cop out a little and where do we decide to doodle every object in a story despite knowing that #we will need to slap an unfocus blur + dents filter on anyway #it's necessary #because that is what ensures that the bgs are JUST bg and not making it hard to make out the PoV characters #o shit and we have to get Crislie a “:(” expression #Navaeli has a “:)” and a “:(” expression #Mep only has “>:(” because he is Mep and that is usually how he looks but i think he will get a “:(” too

sorry for ocs two days in a row have some babies from an adult's life time ago (aka 2005 I believe? is when I made them?)

#my characters #this plot was literally too many characters and so it basically become multiple plots #based on who it was the focus but it was all one cohesive .... mess. p much. #and if anyone cares the top two with black eyes are two thirds of triplets and technically very much side characters #the other one that i didnt even draw is part of the more main group lmao #and then the blonde girl judging the pink haired girls comment has a crush on the triplet i didnt draw but she scares him rip #white haired guy on the bottom who got threatened is honestly one of the funniest concepts i have imo #hes just a guy BUT hes also unlucky through life and so he walks into a fortune teller shop one day hoping to stop being unlucky #but when hes there he accidentally knocks a crystal ball on the floor that wasnt being used but was on display #and oops it had five souls in it and now they need a home so they take his body and can take control of it when they want #so hes got himself and five others trying to control his body which is really funny to me #he doesnt even HAVE a super power or strength like the others in the cast hes just a dude hosting five other souls its fine

I just got fired, but hey, I finally have some time for myself! :'))

Which also means I'll be able to draw more so uh... hurray I guess?

Sure, I did cry for an hour straight and I probably won't be able to get a job for another few months, but c'mon. I can draw lego people now. Absolutely worth it! /s

#bobi's personal bullshit #being part of the 85% autistic adults who are unemployed aww yeah... :')) #i love how some of my family members are like “just go to a factory!” #yeah i wouldn't survive a day as a factory worker but sure :')) #i wasn't “good and strong enough” for a shop worker but surely i would do just fine in a factory #this is one of those times where i wish i wasn't autistic...

I'm looking at buying a new prebuilt custom pc since my laptop is on the verge of taking the big sleep (as old ass computers do)

And as its showing me all these options for Memory cards and video cards and processors and shit I realize i have no damn clue what Any of these things are, What they do, and which ones I need

Like pls sir I'm a silly clown of an art student ive no clue what half of this stuff even means. Explain it to me as if I've never touched a computer in my life

#like pls i dont knoe the damn difference between intel and amd #i just need a system that i can use for vtubing and animation #thats all i want #pls #why cant it be easy #its fine that its expensive #but what the fuck am i shopping for???? QwQ #starr stuff #rambling #dont mind me #i COULD probably ask my brother #but he really wants me to just buy the parts for him to build it #like dude pls #just help

I can tell this playthrough is my favorite because I just spent 30 minutes buying dye for everyone's armor based on what I think they'd like to celebrate finishing all their personal quests. An in character shopping trip where my Tav was like, "We've come so far, and we need to look good for the ending! Everyone's getting new drip, my treat!"

Whereas last time, I didn't care about outfit cohesion in the slightest.

Anyway I'll be ranting in the tags about my choices if anyone cares.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #OK SO RAMBLING INCOMING #Shadowheart got custard and pink rose because she was tired of purple and black #and i thought something bright and fun would suit her #Karlach got boreal blue because blue looks good on her and she totally knows it #that one was mostly personal preference tbh #Astarion got lush burgundy because its described as being worn by wealthy people #and he has an image to maintain so of course #Wyll got faewild green and dun because he spends a lot of time in the wilderness #and it may or may not be a subtle message from my archfey warlock #Gale has dark amethyst because the man likes purple and looks stunning in it #Lae'zel got sinful red on bone white and i dont think that needs explaining #and my Tav Talice has peach and apricot because its a gorgeous color combo and i liked it #Halsin Jaheira and Minsc didnt get anything because they look fine as is #and also tbh they aren't part of my Squad #i love them all dearly but they're like the overworked parents and uncle for the crew #this was a Kids Only shopping trip

PLEEEASSSEEE look at my neopet's lookup i just spent way way way way wayyyyy too long on :3 https://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Pixelium

you can't see lookups unless you're logged in tho so screenshot under the cut but they fixed animations on lookups so it's kinda cool to see the very slight animation

#it took me sooooooooo long and i still wanna tweak it like maaaybe centering the egg and moving the text on the side below #did you know you can use :first-of-type on neopets but not :last-of-type? did you know you can't use position: absolute or relative? #except you can use those positions on like... shop pages and maybe userlookups #but not petlookups. anyway i also will probably put a bit of a bg in the back too #*new creative post tag here* #HI THIS IS 2 HOURS LATER THAN WHEN I FIRST STARTED MAKING THIS POST #I HAVE DONE MORE EDITS AND DETERMINED I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE TEXT BE BELOW THE TAMAGOTCHI. #maybe i should have done that part FIRST? idk. it breaks everything no matter what i do. whatever it's fine.

[visceravalentines]

do most people just hate their jobs?? bc I'm realizing my baseline for my job is a (mostly) manageable level of dread. and then sometimes it's good and sometimes it's worse. and idk if I should just accept this or if I'm doing something wrong

#it fluctuates so much too #ill go for stretches of being so in love with what i do and then the next week i want to set myself on fire #but like........most every job is stressful right?? for one reason or another #idk man i was just so zen and happy yesterday and now ive been at work for three hours and im having a slowburn anxiety attack #(enemies to lovers to enemies coffee shop au) #granted most jobs don't make you confront the crushing horror of mortality and grief so that's probably part of it but like #cmon man it's just death it's fine #idk whatever. whatever!!

phantom i am loving all this sasha and jon content mainly because i never really see it (especially solely focused on the two of them) you're really doing gods work here

As always, I get latched onto the most obscure dynamics and have to carry the tags on my back. I’ve latched onto the two of them separately like a strange puppy and so clearly the only solution is to smush them together in a fun silly complicated dynamic that I am so correct on fr. I am doing gods work indeed!!!!

#I think also a part of this is #I’m very aroace and like #I’m fine with romance sometimes but so much heavy romantic shipping will ick me out a bit #and so I’ve noticed a lil bit #that getting so attached to these smaller dynamics are a lot more palpable #it’s easier for there to be no content #than to fight against the current in a sea of only romantic shopping #shipping* #so like Jon n Sasha… I can do whatever i want and THERES not much I’m fighting against #idk it’s easier for me that way #rambling #phever dreams with phantom #asks #mutuals

i think milo struggles w finger dexterity and doesn't have very steady hands

#plus she stims and has anxiety amd drinks too much coffee... shaky mess #but i think its an autosm related issue #its also part of ehat made her a failure as a tactician tech step. her hands arent steady enough for the work #i think she understands the like. theory fine ! #i think in vms siblings au she could talk vanya through fixing things up when they actually get business at the shop #and she (as neil) definitely knows enough to have nerdy convos w dr mortum #but she cant do the work herself. well. not well/easily #(she struggles w the buttons on her shirt also. she Can do them and it doesnt take Too long but its not as easy as it is for other people) #milo park #op #fh

My god…this day…what a mess

#got into an accident and then got into another accident trying to get the rest of the way in my moms van while my car was in the shop #then my mechanic called and said the car wouldn’t be fixed today because the parts didn’t come in #due to the storm that made likely caused the accident in the first place #but work was fine and tomorrow I should get my own car back #on god if I don’t watch tv tonight I will perish #I’m gonna watch bridgerton and maybe also spy family #and then sleep sleep sleep

posting this here bc i have more followers here and maybe someone can answer ?? i have a laptop and i'm able to upgrade the ram on it. it's 8gb by default. i have another slot i can add more ram to. does the extra slot HAVE to be an 8GB as well ( to match ), or can i do 16GB w/ the default 8GB that's already in my laptop ?

#❝ ❀ ― 〈 out of character. 〉 #tbd. #[ i plan on just getting the 8GB but i'm asking about 16GB for future reference bc .. i was looking at a parts shop that sells parts #specific to this brand & model and they had 4 / 8 / 16 GB RAMs for this model so i'm sure a 16 GB would be fine ?? #but again i'm just asking out of curiosity ... ]
