LETS GO HALLOWEEN!!!!

do you find it uncomfortable when younger fandom members look up to you? or is it kind of an endearing thing

It's a little endearing but also I don't think I'm a very good influence on young people sometimes LMAO Like, oh shit should I put a weed/alcohol FAQ + surgeon general's warning on my blog or something?? hahah

I'm not going to, like, sanitize my personal adult spaces (this blog, Twitter) because younger people follow me—I'm not their parent, they aren't my responsibility—but sometimes I worry some young person will get offered weed/alcohol in a bad crowd and think about how much fun I seem to have with it and end up having a bad experience. There have been a few (rare) times where I've written a post and deleted it because of both how big this blog has gotten and because I know there are younger people that follow me lol

Just like... If you're gonna try drugs or alcohol for the first time, always make sure it's with someone you can trust on about the same level of feeling safe having a (platonic) sleepover at their house and remember that both weed and alcohol can take a bit to kick in so GO SLOW LMAO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD START SMALL LOLL & stay hydrated

Cigarettes fuckin suck, also. They taste bad, the high's shit, they're expensive, and it's a royal pain in the ass to break the addiction. Sol Radguy Blazing Gamer Tip: Don't even bother with cigarettes, you aren't missing anything

#asks #drugs cw #My dad's been a pack a day cig smoker for the last like 50 years and recently started weaning off them by switching to vapes #And I asked him how much a month he was saving now that he only had to buy one us$30 vape every 3-4 weeks instead of #7-8 packs of cigs every week #And he said something like $250 A MONTH. I was like holy shit dude that's a down payment on a new car every single year

Gideon Ladrón, Sage of Untamed Magic

Gaia Medea, Sage of Mischief Magic

#gideon has the arrogant trait from a new trait pack I downloaded and I just know he’s so insufferable but in a somewhat endearing way #him and acantha met in the realm when I opened up the game to make over the sages and….. #they’re basically already in love they both have crush first impressions #and find each other extremely attractive #we love that for them #and Gaia….. Gaia just hates everyone #but especially Gideon #they have horrendous compatibility #I had to turn off her height slider for screenshots but she’s like 6’4 #ts4 #ts4 spellcaster #show us your sims #ts4 screenshots #simblr #simmer

[bri-does-art]

i know this probably won’t do much, let alone anything at all, but i’m sorry for the stress this site has caused you and so many other creators here. i’m not asking for you to stick around on here, but i hope you know just how meaningful you and your art have been on here. you’re amazing. /pos

Hey, this ask has done a lot more than you would think. Thank you, you are very sweet. <3

I've kind of made up my mind about what I'm gonna do for a while now, but I've simply been... too busy and overwhelmed to take the time to let you guys know. I'm not going to delete my tumblr, there's just. Too much here that I don't want to lose.

So far the game plan is: keep my tumblr. But do not upload anymore art or writing on it - not because it's gonna get scraped, because it was already getting scraped anyway, AI company deal or not. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, unfortunately. I simply do not trust Tumblr with my data, if they're going to sell EVERYTHING, including private messages and such, so I'm not going to give it anything worthwhile to profit off of. Instead, I'm going to start uploading my art exclusively on Ao3, for now. I'll answer any asks I receive here on there too, as well. I'll figure some kind of system out. 🤔

The cool thing about uploading to Ao3 is that anyone subscribed to my profile or to the containment series I will make will get a notification anytime I upload something new. Having my art and writing in one place is likely going to be more convenient for you guys too, since you won't have to move across platforms to get the full experience. 😄It'll be different... but a platform getting too greedy for its own good won't stop me from finding ways to share my stories with y'all. I'll just find another solution.

(I've also been entertaining the idea of joining or making my own Discord server but. That one is a little more delicate. The idea of joining a server that has hundreds of members like a lot of this fandom's servers have, just. Makes me break into hives, lmao. (I am in the Ghost in the Machine fic server. I muted it an hour into joining, it was way too intense for me. |'D) That is way too many people, I simply cannot handle it. I'd be way more comfortable in a smaller group with a less rapid-fire rate of posting and conversation. I am also. Very picky about which servers I join, which makes asking for recommendations doubly awkward when I shoot them all down, haha... And making my own... Err, I can hardly keep up with a server I helped create for another fandom and mod for, I don't think I could handle two of them - I would need other people to handle the moderation for me, and I wouldn't trust just anyone to be a mod. I'd need to know them well enough to know I could trust them, and I... do not really know anyone in this fandom well enough to do that, sadly. I take server moderation very seriously, as someone who has had experience modding for forums back before social media was a thing. I do not know if that would make for a fun experience for everyone, and anyone who hasn't known that kind of supervised experience. It is comforting to me. It may be intimidating for others. So that's still a very hand-wavy, 'eehhhh' kind of thing still.)

All of this to say, that this isn't the last you'll see from me, far from it. I'll restrict my creative output to Ao3 for the foreseeable future, and I'll let you guys on here know when I make a new upload, so those of you who do not have an Ao3 account know when something new has happened.

So there you have it. 😊

#also just so y'all know #i AM working on the next CotA chapter #i am. about 40% done. #i needed to take a breather after that massive last upload and then life just. fucking tackled me lmao. #in order: my folks put up the house for sale. i have spent half of my weekends having to evacuate the house at a moment's notice. #so prospective buyers could visit. not very good conditions to write in. too stressful. #then i caught fucking covid for the very first time and had a BAD TIME. it took me weeks to recover. couldn't climb stairs for a while. #i think i still have episodes of brain fog 5 months later because of it. my body was really weird for a while after. #(writing is still a little hard after that. but i think i am slowly overcoming it. hopefully it doesn't show too much in the new chapter.) #random unexplained symptoms and more i will not share. then the holiday season came and went. #then we finally got serious buyers after months of having no-shows yank our chains and expulse us from our home for nothing. #the house is sold. then came the cleaning out and packing. we are nearly done and i am finally coming up to the surface to breathe a little #we are moving in a month's time so i might be a while before i feel stable enough to start posting a little more regularly once more. #so this year i may have to give mermay a pass. to my ENORMOUS chagrin. it's just not in the cards for me this year. ;___;) #but we are getting there. we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. and i am confident enough to say it's not a train.

Awsten Knight Hair (Two different files)

I started with showing Red & Black first as it's the latest but I made 17 swatches. I think I covered every significant color, skipping most Greatest Hits hairs as those are a pain okay, I am but a single person with GIMP. I did do the scene hair but I would like to some day do it on another mesh. I sorted and organized all my pictures of Awsten, over 400 btw, by hair color, to help me figure out the best examples of each, and to figure out which ones were just faded versions of the others, a few swatches are 'faded' colors, and which looked distinct enough to make swatches for. Green seems most consistent, I have the most pics of blue. Greatest Hits tricolor and red & black are my favorites. The blue is the first color that shows up on the swatches so the thumbnail shows blue hair to make finding it easy. I tried to mimic that the two distinct reds were not exactly the same. I've gotten way too fucking good at telling when a picture came from even if the color is gone from it. None of these are what hair my Awsten Sim normally has tho.

This is. I made this a couple years ago and never changed it from most outfits as it just makes him stand out and it took hours to make, I wanted to get the most out of it. Just one swatch here. Both of these are base game mesh recolors, so nothing else is needed. Standalone files. Also I went out of my way to grab werewolfy poses and emotions because I think it's adorable, okay. He's the least intimidating werewolf, but still my favorite. Forgive Jack's face and body and everything being in frame a lot I am playing as him.

just a reminder that being in an end biome makes the sky go black ^_^

[ID : a screenshot from minecraft, with the player standing in front of a build that resembles a mossy statue of a faceless head wearing a hood. the sky behind it is a dark purplish color, with speckles like stars scattered around. there is red text edited over it reading "dark sky around the secret keeper shrine", and there are red arrows pointing to the sky on either side. END ID]

[ID : a gif from minecraft of a player standing on a platform made of a gradient of moss, mycelium, and grass that has been retextured to be purple. they are standing on the purple side, where the sky is dark and the biome is labeled "end barrens", before they run to the other side where the sky grows lighter and the biome switches to "plains", before they return back to the end barrens side. END ID]

#i saw some people mention that the watchers are apparently connected to the end so i thought this would be inch resting to point out #even if they werent even just the idea of the secret keeper shine being in an end biome is ... curious #the shrine gets a lot darker if you get closer btw the screenshot is just from the intro where theyre standing on the edge or something #ignore my graphic design is my passion ass edit i thought it would be funny #the texture pack im using is better vanilla eff why eye #mods are journey map inventory gui and fps monitor #i needed worldedit to change the biomes but i had to use one of my preexisting modpacks bc for some reason i cant make any new profiles 💀 #life series spoilers #secret life spoilers #[.txt]

[Start ID. A drawing of two scavengers from Rain World, one labelled Sanic and the other one Shrek. Sanic's fur is light brown, with darker extremities, a messy row of pale green spines down its back, and bright blue eyes. They sit contentedly, staring at the screen, with a couple grenades by its feet. Shrek has pale fur, a green head, hands, and feet, and brown eyes. It's facing to the right, with their arms splayed out and an explosive spear on their back. Beside each scavenger are a few woefully-compressed screencaps of their in-game appearance. End ID]

An ode to these silly beasts, who accompanied me on my second visits to Industrial and Chimney

#peridots-art #rain world #scavenger rain world #...usually only draw set characters of games and not. creatures. so that's new for me #absolutely love specbioing these guys though!! buggifying them scratches the right itch in my brain especially when they could reasonably #be buggy in canon!! #bugs #clarification on the ''shrek is maybe two guys'' thing ahead. first we'll argue for One Guy #1. both found in the same region at the same time 2. remarkably similar coloring and mannerisms (seemed to be the pack leader) #and now evidence supporting the two different guys theory: #1. travelled with a different pack of scavengers the second time vs when i found it 2. second time had slightly duller colors and noticably #longer horns (without the little gradient at the end) #so now you see why i didn't notice anything wrong until after reviewing the screenshots. BUT!!! secret third option!!! #the first one with the short horns was found first when i was using the entrance-to-industrial shelter #and the one i mostly relied on for reference was near the higher shelter. shrek numero dos. the canon shrek. #but i have a screenshot of shrek 1 in the place shrek 2 was found. hanging out with one of shrek 2's pack members no less. #conclusion: ??? #ok now that that's ''settled''. don't let this all distract you from the fact that the simple act of SWITCHING TO THE SHADING LAYER #got me out of a four-month-long mental rut. i can't say that it was depression nor that i know anything about depression in the first place #but even if it wasn't very serious? it Sucked. even if it was just a nagging thought at the back of my mind my life was duller somehow #i started to feel a little unmotivated. lonely. anxious. like the days blend together. the things i liked weren't bringing as much joy #and all of that got worse recently. the main reason i haven't posted any art for like a month? art stopped being fun. #which is a TERRIBLE thing for someone like me who loves to draw so so much. so when everything that's been building up over the past months #just vanished completely? without warning? you better believe i teared up over a doodle of a scavenger for making me feel right again. #i'm overjoyed to be free of it. i'm hopeful again! i love myself again! i can fall in love with the world all over again!!! #i have no idea how this happened. but i have motivation and determination and i feel like i can change my life for the better now. if i try #maybe this was my normal but it's the striking opposite of what I've been feeling--i'm finally proud of my accomplishments! and of myself!! #which was something i couldn't say in earnest even before december. #and reader? i call you tag-wanderer for i have no way of knowing who you are. maybe a treasured mutual or maybe a stranger. but i love you. #and i hope you make your way out.

just finished the last step of decluttering my room 💪why did i have so much stuff 💪

#i started this project like #3 weeks ago? #all i wanted was a spot to put new books because of the b&n opening up in town #and that lead to me spending... so much time in clearing out cluttered spaces #and so much money in getting another bookshelf AND a more functional dresser AND a hamper/hanging rack #my sister got my old one its not broken it was just literally collecting dust and junk in the corner. i wasnt using it #new dresser will be coming in this week so i had to get it done #i took out...... maybe 5? 6? full trashbags of just stuff i didnt need and clothes i never wore #i found things from a decade ago. theyre gone now #spring cleaning came early i guess #i dont know if ive got hoarding tendacies or if i just. put things in boxes and forgot about them. but i gotta do better about that #ANYWAY my room is clean now and ive done minimal rearranging but the stuff i did move has made A Difference #this is both better for my brain and better for when we move out in the ??? future #less stuff to sort and pack

Reminiscing about my old diabetic bags </3

#smiles rambles #first diabetic bag was a black backpack #pretty big and a pain when I moved to highschool #cuz we couldn’t have backpacks on us first 4 years #it fell to pieces and smelled like pads by the time I went through it #then I got this awesom leather bag #which I really love and held together great #I just wanted a new one for college #which I didn’t like the other one #not enough pockets. the straps were bad #and overall a pain #next one was a camel pack which was great for hiking #and I really liked it #had a lot of spare #but carrying a backpack is inconvenient #i got a Lu Lu lemon bag for Christmas and because I no longer use the omnipod classic #k can fit my diabetic supplies in there #which not the ones I need can fit in there #don’t have a meter or syringes or anything #but it’s much nicer for quick trips #which I don’t really need all that stuff #if I need a longer trip I bring the rest of the stuff #but yeah #fun times #those bags went through it fr #diabetes talk
