I FUCKING DID IT I MADE GAUGE ON THE IMPOSSIBLE FUCKING SKELETON SCARF FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU I WIN

#the original was made with a 1.5mm hook #the amount of people who have replicated her gauge with that hook size is... zero (0) #zero people #'it must have shrunk during blocking' girl it's a skeleton you would have noticed if it was 7' tall before you washed it and 5'7 after #i'm using SLIGHTLY THINNER yarn in fact #i'm an average crocheter #several actual tight crocheters i know tried and failed even at 0.75mm #i FUCKING got it #i'm doing this whole thing with a 0.6mm but i FUCKING GOT IT #(regrettably this yarn does not shrink when washed. at any temperature) #(mercifully it doesn't expand either but) #for reference of how stupid her guage is. you know. besides nobody being able to replicate it #the standard gauge FOR THE YARN SHE USED and ON THE HOOK SIZE SHE USED #is 30 stitches to 4 inches #her gauge is 46 stitches to 4 inches #yeah

You know those kids in class that are like, class clowns and misbehave, but are like super charming so they get away with it?

You know those other kids that are super introverted, have an attitude and a resting bitch face but are well behaved, and somehow, they always end up being regarded as the weird kids and terrible rumors get spread about them?

Bi-Han. Y'all are doing that to Bi Han 😭

Honestly after all the shit he's been through I also would have snapped if I had to a. Deal with Johnny Cage b. Deal with Kung Lao. C. Being reminded of my dad whom I don't like every five seconds

#no but seriously #i sometimes feel like we equate being mean or indifferent as a sign of being evil #he might just be stern. tired. or extremely introverted! #i mean he IS grandmaster. he has higher standards and has to deal with a lot of shit. i would be stern too #also I don't think having low empathy is something that would make you evil??? is a real normal thing #principally saying it because i have low empathy lmao #mortal kombat #mk1 2023 #mortal kombat 1 #bi han #sub zero #bi han mortal kombat #my take

all this talk about storytelling has made me appreciate just how many things i’ve learned how to create for my story! i was tired of throwing good ideas away because i thought they were impossible to create, so at some point i decided.. fuck it, i’m teaching myself how to recolor, make skin details, make accessories & poses, create & edit meshes, etc. so i just wanted to put some of my favorite creations in one place to remind myself how far i’ve come :’) and hopefully it will be inspirational for anyone who has also worried that you won’t be able to execute your ideas the way you want to! you can!! the sky is the limit!! and i’m always here to help if you need it 💖

#i seriously had ZERO of these skills when i joined simblr #but i took it slow and learned one thing at a time #that's my biggest advice for new people - you HAVE to take your time #i've seen so many people get overwhelmed and frustrated because they dive straight into the deep end #i wouldn't still be on simblr today if i had set any standards for myself on day one #or really any day tbh. i have no standards for myself i'm just here to vibe #it's a great way to be #bloopers

while i'm online i made this sim last night while trying to convince myself to become a black cas background truther

#river dipping #ts4 #my sims #any pronouns for them btw <3 #but i slapped a black cas background in my game and started to see god #it’s so sexy but i hate that her hair is blending into the background….. fr the only reason i don’t use black instead of white #i put my sims in black allllll the time and i don’t like when i can’t see them properly 😞 #how do the ppl who use black cas backgrounds do it........... maybe i just need to edit the preset i use #idk i will probably just go back to my standard white and icarus backgrounds <3 #anyway i have zero attachment to the sims i've been making lately so maybe i should just do a sim dump with all of them #there's a lot......... i don't post most of them kdjgnhk

There is one thing I will miss about nursing and that's cute accessories — aesthetic cheat badge cards, colourful torch lights, brain-shaped badge reels, rainbow lanyards, mini whiteboard markers, pronoun pins, handover notebooks with beagles and cats, crocs with medical jibbitz... Maybe I'll post my little collection before I give it away when I leave work...

It probably tells a lot that this is the only thing I'll miss

(And maybe the times when you give some extra time and attention to a patient during personal care and they tell you they already feel more like themselves a bit and get that new spark in their behaviour or trying to talk more when their family comes to visit... despite how unprioritized personal care is on neuro icu, or any critical care in general, I always found it to be very soothing and rewarding)

EMT/paramedic uniforms are nicer than scrubs (and more gender euphoric for me) though and I'd be glad to leave for a slightly less toxic field with slightly better pay and career options

#i saw some stuff in nursing and I don't mean the horrible trauma pts or psych pts or even the standard of care from docs #some of my colleagues have zero empathy and id not trust them with me or my relative #most are competent enough on the medical side (most...) but the way some nurses treat their patients as a nuisance is just heartbreaking #i think i'd go crazy if i had to do nursing for another year and watch it not being able to do anything about it #the lack of choice in pts' own care on wards is also horrifying #me posts

u ever hope an ex is doing good then hear about the direction their life went and it's all just fucking tragic

#i got A Lot of tea from my coworkers who used to b friends with her on lunch bc we share my office #and we went in complete opposite directions. she's changed so much it's kind of scary even to her friends #she cut off all her queer and trans friends and said “[her] values have changed” and agrees with things her idiot toxic boyfriend #says when it's like girl this is SO so disappointing i know u know better. you are so much better than this u deserve sm better than this #i don't know if she's actually gone Full Catholic but she's extremely family oriented n her family is Mexican Catholic iykyk #it was a big problem in our relationship bc I'd only get to see Other People once every couple of months 😓 #anyways new dude is extremely machismo and even by those standards he's Far on the aggressive side it's really scary #she even wants to get married and have kids but like the scenes he makes and the way he blows up on her and makes her cry #really hurts my heart to learn about. she's such a beautiful smart and sweet girl i was hoping she'd figure out what she wants for #herself after we split. and i don't wanna make assumptions about her thought process but it sounds like she got more reliant on her #fam not less to the point that even her friends were stressed about it and aksjdkak. i could see how someone who #has the energy and desire to go to Everything and gets along great w ur fam is nicer compared to like. #a trans woman who feels like a caged animal and is constantly begging for rest she never gets #but are all the sacrifices you're making worth it? there is zero “haha that sucks” it's just. tragic. u cut off ur childhood best friend for #being enby?? I'd imagine she doesn't feel “lonely” but god she sounds trapped and i worry for her #but otoh hearing who she turned into really gave me closure bc no fucking way would i want to date someone like this... #and that is a nice thing to heal inside of me albeit healing from something fucked up #just the thought of “maybe. one day” till y'all have changed so much u can't recognize and don't want each other #i assumed she wasn't the same person anymore bc i wasn't but hoped she changed for the better. but 😐 ig not. idk. #I'm gonna have complicated feelings on this all day im At work and can't focus lol

honestly a bit surprised jayjokes isn't more popular. like don't get me wrong i don't expect that it would actually be a mainstream ship in any regard but it's. definitely niche and more so than it should be. i mean come on guys... joker's bizarre affection for post-resurrection jason, the way both of their life trajectories were irreversibly changed by jason's death (and later resurrection + mental break), jason taking on joker's old identity and the surprising number of coincidental parallels between them as characters, the inherent homoeroticism of wanting to kill another person out of revenge etc etc

#outing myself as one of the like. twelve jayjokes shippers in the fandom #sjdhjhshffjhfk #BUT FR... #yeah it's fucked up that's the whole appeal #more toxic than batjokes by any standard. and that's why it FUCKS #this is gonna be a zero note flop post i can feel it in my bones #that's okay though i must speak my truth 🫡 #have a bunch of drafts abt this btw it's been rotting my brain #like a substantial amt of the fandom is fine shipping batcest #but apparently brutally murdering a 15 yr old w a crowbar is crossing the moral event horizon? #cowards. all of you. cowards #/hj /lh

very funny that one of the main responses to the lizzo fat-shaming accusations is “but SHE’S fat!!!” as if internalized fatphobia doesn’t exist. like, you do realize that fat people have had that worldview beaten into them by literally every single person around them their entire lives, and famous fat people even more so. celebrity body positivity is so frequently performative — less about genuinely feeling positively about your body and other bodies that look like yours, more about trying to claw your way to having value in the eyes of society through any means possible. it’s out of spite and the desire to fit in. it’s not about conventional beauty not mattering, it’s about trying to expand the lens of societal atttactiveness to include you. lizzo was never trying to dismantle beauty standards as a concept, as a hierarchical way of perceiving society, as a value system. she just wanted to be valued within it — and that’s understandable, because we all want that, we all need to feel desired and worthwhile and valuable. but the best way for an outsider to become an insider is to know the hierarchy inside and out, then to enforce it yourself. if you’re able to gatekeep beauty and value from others, that implies you have access to it yourself. the only way for fat people to be valued within modern societal beauty constraints is to carve out a spot within that hierarchy and guard it with your life. i’m sorry if this is news to people, but so long as our perceptions of beauty remain the same, fat people will never be viewed as equally human — and especially fat women will never be viewed as equally woman. our beauty constraints are premised on a dehumanization of fatness. there is no way to exist as a fat person within that sphere without perpetuating those constraints yourself to prove to skinny people that you deserve to be there. this is why celebrity body positivity is so infrequently helpful long-term or big-picture — it’s not about setting all bodies equal to one another, it’s about raising your particular body equal to those at the top of the hierarchy. so of course lizzo bodyshamed her employees, her backup dancers, her assistants — that’s exactly what enabled her to become a “voice” for “body positivity.” without a position of power in that hierarchy, not only would her calls for body positivity not be heard, they likely wouldn’t exist in the first place; how are you going to feel positive about your body in our ever-competitive pyramid of beauty unless you have people below you to feel better than?

#admittedly i don’t know much about the lizzo drama but i’ve just seen so many tweets flabbergasted that she could possibly fatshame #guess those people just buy into celebrity body positivity wholeheartedly #actually i don’t know much about lizzo in general. i just know that no popstar in our current society has a worldview unaltered by female #beauty standards and that very much includes her. #if your body positivity is ‘i’m sexy too’ and not ‘why is my worth premised on my desirability’ then it’s not actual body positivity at all #like you are still maintaining that the male gaze is the determinant of worth. you are not revolutionary. you are insecure #and SO AM I! like i’m throwing bricks from a glass fucking house. i am the same exact way like i have a lot of issues w body stuff and zero #‘body positivity’ to speak of. but i am aware of my internalized preoccupation with male desire i am aware that i have a skewed perspective #rooted in misogyny i am aware and working on it. so it just drives me crazy to see women clearly as insecure & focused on male validation as #i am framing their appeals to said male validation as body positivity. like you can’t heal if you don’t see the wound #idk if any of this made sense. whatevs sorry #just rambling here #but yeah no it makes perfect sense to me that lizzo would body shame #why? because that is the only way to feel like you belong in a system that inherently excludes you #lizzo #long post

The fact that Junpei proposed to Akane in ztd just baffles me every time I think about it like. He doesn’t know anything about her. They were friends for, what? A year? When they were kids. And Junpei never even knew she was an orphan or that she had a brother. Given just how important Aoi is to Akane and the massive role he played in her life, it’s very telling that Junpei doesn’t know about him. He also doesn’t seem too interested in Akane as a person. He only likes the idea of her, of sharing a bed or taking a shower together, but when she actually starts talking about her interests such as the titanic, he thinks she’s talking nonsense and only plays along when he doesn’t know what else to say. He also has this image of her as a damsel in distress (partially because Akane puts up an innocent persona to avoid suspicion) and he wants to play an action hero who protects her from seeing the scary dead body, completely oblivious to the fact that she put them there, that she wants that bastard dead. And how much does he come to terms with the truth after the nonary game? He feels betrayal, resentment, but he still proposes to her. He still spends his life chasing after her. He still puts himself and quark in a potentially dangerous situation in order to see her again. Junpei doesn’t have his shit together at all, he refuses to accept that the girl he liked as a kid isn’t perfect and has changed, has changed without him

#zero escape #junpei tenmyouji #my god this man. he really needs to get standards🙄 #im very conflicted about the choice to have him propose to akane cuz like on one hand #it really emphasizes just how not well adjusted junpei is and it sets the stage for how he is in vlr #and like i wouldnt want him to have his shit together in ztd in regards to akane he doesnt move on until after vlr #at least in that specific timeline anyway #but on the other hand the game just does suuuch a bad job with the proposal like its treated as cute #when it really fucking isnt its absolutely pathetic that junpei wants to propose to her after everything thats happened #and in general the scene where they get engaged just fucking sucks lol its so weird #i hate it so much goddddd i am not cheering when they get engaged i am seething with rage #cuz theyre ruining their lives cuz they dont fucking love each other or know each other!!! RAWRRRR #oh junpei you fucked up little man just let me. hold your hand 😩

TIL that gel nails are REALLY hard to remove. (Even the ones that don't really look like gel nails.)

Can I just paint over them or will that make things (look) worse??

Help???

#going on a business trip tomorrow and need to look semi presentable #and while the manicure still holds (and is apparently indestructible) my nails have grown out enough that it no longer looks nice #but my standard acetone nail remover makes zero difference #personal #seriously: help! #I would not have done this had I known that they were so hard to remove lol

Question to a fanfic writer: do you think that, in Marcille’s research ways *And* her love for romance novels… would result in her writing some in-universe fanfics of her own? Like, maybe she hypes herself up on something and get disappointed, or maybe she finds some character decision isn’t as ideal as she thinks it could be? Or it’s as simple as she wants to play around with the characters and see what happens?

I can’t help but imagine a scenario where she’s struggling with some romantic trouble irl and she’s struggling with deciding on what to do, but then the answer slaps itself upside her head when she rediscovers her fanfics and how she LITERALLY made a character or two do the exact romantic decision she needs to do? It would so silly but yet I can’t help but find it so charming. Hell, just the imagery of her writing romance fanfics of her own At All is just… delightful to me hehehe.

you know I've been rotating this in my head since I saw it this morning and. I went through a wild journey of opinions before I realized... Marcille wouldn't think about fanfiction like we think about it. In the modern age, yeah, she'd be a complete tumblrina -- but we're talking about a 17th century-ish fantasy setting.

Writing before the digital age was a physical commitment to investing ink and paper into your thoughts -- and this is even before mass production can make pens and notebooks kind of whatever to buy and use on a regular basis. I'm sure the situation wasn't dire, but I really can't see Marcille, perfect honor student, using her allotted supply of stationery at the academy on super frivolous things.

Fanfiction has been normalized incredibly fast in the past few decades. Think about now normal and popular D&D is nowadays compared to how much people looked down on it 20-30 years ago. Fanfiction was a freakass nerd thing to do until relatively recent history, something that was even considered offensive to the original creators.

Remember, we've already seen Marcille react to adaptations with disgust. She's kind of a hater and an elitist fan. She also considers herself a Reputable Academic. In a setting where a digitized culture hasn't reframed fanfiction as an act of appreciation and creativity, she would absoluuuuuuuutely think that fanfiction was complete loser shit.

If she did write anything about her favourite books... She'd. She'd be one of those assholes who writes huge scathing reviews of Dal Clan translations into Common. She'd be the fantasy equivalent of those Weebs/Japanese elitists on twitter tearing through every single localization choice in anime and JRPGs and being so so annoying about it.

If we're being charitable, we could say she'd be able to appreciate non-faithful translation choices that still do a good job of carrying over the original spirit of what was said. But I think we also have to acknowledge the possibility that, at her worst, she'd really really be like those guys who were malding about the Unicorn Overlord localizations so hard the (correction: Final Fantasy Tactics Creator, not the Unicorn Overlord devs) had to step forward and ratio them. (The silver lining is that she'd never get published in the arts review newspapers/journals that she submits her essays to. those poor editors just have to deal with her being persistent.)

#asks #marcille donato #dungeon meshi #im so sorry anon your idea was very cute and i know i wasn't supposed to take this so seriously but #god. the revelation hit me and i just cried laughing #she's so horrendous. i love her so fucking much. #i really do think the only setting she'd be able to write fanfiction is in modern aus #bc then she can just delete stuff she doesn't like and lose nothing but the time it took to write it #the problem is that she has the kind of perfectionism that stops her from doing things unless she can do them competently the first time #(gifted child syndrome) #but writing fiction is a skill. one that she would have to hone from zero. while not necessarily having natural talent for it. #her reading standards would be so much higher than her writing ability and she'd haaaaate that #... that said #i can see her absentmindedly dabbling in short form poetry in the margins of her journal #i think that's small enough of a scale that she'd accidentally do it a lot without thinking about it too hard #until she was actually half-decent at it one day #like... starting some years into the post-canon. this is crucial. she needs to chill a bit before this could happen
