#i havent hit it in ages

[vanillabat99]

Just a heads-up that the queue might run out in the next day or two!! I haven't been finding much to put in there and I've been doing a lot of sleeping lately, so it's been falling behind. I need to go through my following list and clear out inactive pages and try to get things going again. If you have any blog or tag recommendations, I'm all ears!!

#also if you have any art you wanna share feel free to send it my way so i can put it in the queue!!! #i cant believe i used to plow through 50 posts per day and still hit queue limit... middle school me was built different #i dont think queue limit is even a thing anymore or at least its more than 300 posts i think?? #i havent hit it in ages #but yeah if you got blog or tag recs i would love to hear them!! #i was thinking of digging up my old 'interact with this post if you want me to draw your icon' post too. #that post was so much fun. shoutout to that one person with a guy fieri icon. you intimidated and inspired me. #idk if theyre still around. if you are reading this i want you to know that you are on the top of the list for whenever i revive that post. #its so wild to think that some of yall have been here this entire time. like you have watched me grow up online. thats so much. #ANYWAYS. queue is empty. my phone is dying. i love you. i have laundry to do #batty blogging #text

#furry #furryart #furry art #furry artist #furry artwork #furry oc #wow i havent drawn comic stuff in ages. i might dump some of the old concept art here at some point. maybe itll motivate me to start drawin #it again. i still do love the golden pine theatre comic #i did revise some of the script though but that was a while ago. the beginning got a decent overhaul. plus some designs got punched up. #Theres more i wanna fix and change but im still waiting for motivation to hit me #and if i start posting the comic again itll be as i feel like drawing it rather than weekly. Also might switch from webtoon to tumblr for #posting it. but eh who knows im just rambling here

saga of "what if spader was Unnamed Baby". i dont think he is cuz he isnt the same color. but it would be, really funny. it would add such a fun LAYER to his reactions to dark magic AND TO PEP. “THOSE ARE ALL RUMORS. but he WAS a powerful dark wizard” <- guy whose siblings actually got cursed by that guy.

#spader even has blonde hair. in bufos beautiful mind. #ok stop talking. shakes myself. #adventure time #distant lands #spader #peace master's kids #blaine #peppermint #digital #thats everyone. back to talking. #he just has such Younger Brother energy forever. to me. i dont know what it is. #small and annoying. dresses all puffed up and talks like a little twerp. glob i love him. can someone throw water at me #i havent looked at a picture of dragon kid in months uh oh. i hope he hasnt deteriorated in my mind into a real monster #pretending any inaccuracies are bc by the time he hits this age hes just Changed. Aged. #this cant be real bc it would mean spader is raised by peace master and that would make him sooo weird. and hes not weird just insufferable #this isnt how i actually think his life is. i just think its funny. #you know what. #au #there.

I'm piggybacking a bit off of the last ask of asking for writing tips but I have an odd question... Am I the only person that struggles actually PICKING a book? It's the absolute bane of my existence because I feel like I can be so picky... Don't get me wrong, I love being a bookworm, and I'm trying to get back into reading physical books but it's so difficult to find a real taste of what the book is like without being completely spoiled or something... I miss when backs of books had an actual summary and not just NO.1 NEW YORK BESTSELLER!!!! It's so frustrating... I've been trying to get back into it by re-reading fond chapter childhood books read to me (The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane & A Wrinkle In Time). But at the same time I'm also trying to get into more "adult" books that isn't... Well, you try googling "adult books" and see how that goes, I didn't think too hard about what a poor decision THAT was. But I'm working up the courage to read Cat's Cradle right now to start with "Classic Authors" I guess!

Anyway I'm rambling here, I guess my question is... How do you pick out the books you read? I don't really have friends that read many books to recommend to me :')

Thank you in advance, Bog! I hope you get a callback from that interview soon!

no ok actually you've mentioned something that's been bothering me for a while - What The Hell Do Y'all Mea, Books Don't Have Summaries Anymore???? i have not once in my life found a book that didn't have a summary. i was in barnes & noble recently and everything i looked at had a summary. i have literally never seen a book without one in my life of reading & looking at new books on a regular basis

softcovers have theirs on the back. hardcovers are on the inside of the sleeve - lift the cover and it should be printed right there on the inside flap! summaries aren't legally required but both the author and Especially the publisher(s) know that no one's gonna buy a book without a summary. trust me, all books worth reading have a summary. if a book doesn't have one, it's probably not worth your time anyway. you just gotta know where to look!

so my answer to how i choose books... i read the summary lmao. if it seems interesting, ill either write it down to get later or ill get it there and then.

Before the summary though, i look for any titles that jump out at me from the shelf. then i look at the thickness. i like a bit of meat in my literature, so i tend to shy away from thinner books. thicker ones grab my attention more easily. then i look at the cover - if it interests me, then ill read the summary. i don't have specific tastes in title or cover. as long as it makes my brain "hm" thoughtfully, ill take a gander!

and really, if you have access to a bookstore (chain or not, ive found plenty of bangers in tiny used bookshops) or library, the best way to find a book is to physically browse. even if you dont buy anything, you can take pictures of books / write them down to buy online. but going to the store lets you search them out, examine the length, cover, title, summary - and easily put it back on the shelf or keep it. i hate shopping online bc there's ads, you can't examine the product, nothing really stands out since it's all portrayed similarly, there's limited pictures instead of the physical thing, and photos can lie.

plus, everything is (typically) meticulously sorted by genre & age range. when you go into a section with literature aimed at adults, you'll find exactly that instead of smut novels lmao. real life bookstores can be more accurate than online searches. & there's just something so good about walking through shelves, searching for that one book before you know it exists, smelling the paper... yeah...

#like for example i recently bought priory of the orange tree #ive been wanting it for a while and havent read it yet since im finishing something else #BUT! i remember when i first saw it #nothing had gotten my attention for a while #but then i saw the thickest fucking book ive seen in ages - which was automatically very sexy of it #and then the title was unique - priory of the orange tree??? whoah! what the fuck does that mean!!! #so automatically there was the interest of neat title + a new word that i get to learn + the implications of the word now that i understand #and then i picked the book up and it was deliciously heavy - & there was a Dragon on the cover. which. YES PLEASE #then the summary was fascinating!! the book was immediately seared into my brain! im very excited to read it #so thats a highly successful example of my book choosing Process #it checked all of my boxes so it was a win #most books dont check all of my boxes but as long as it hits most of them im down to clown yk yk #but yeah im picky too so! nothing wrong with being picky or having high standards! #rambles from the bog #my shelves are fuckin Full of books ranging from 'it was ok' to 'I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL WHO WILL LISTEN' #and then i have a drawer filled with books that i just could not care less about / dont like #but dont have the heart to throw away bc. well putting a book in the trash kills a part of my soul #i need to donate them... #but yes! i hope that helps! #and Thank You! i hope i get a callback as well...

also lowkey kinda wanna write a fic at some point thats like. implied to be an older reader (like 95z/96z liner since it'd be svt specifically) whos never had a lot of experiences ppl mark down as 'normal teen experiences' (first kiss n whatnot) for whatever reason. and its not like a 'ohh im so nervous ive never been kissed' but reader just kinda being like 'yeah im doing shit on my own time. i dont wanna rush it, but can we take stuff slow as we figure this out together?' and its just reader and whichever 95z/96z guy figuring out this relationship together. maybe reader mentioning they've had relationships once or twice before but it didnt Feel right and they didnt wanna just kiss someone for the sake of saying they've kissed someone, etc.

#wooahaes.txt #like idk i think it bothers me a lot when some ppl like... try to spin shit like 'if you havent done (x) by (any age) then ur hopeless' #like who cares babe! i used to be like... severely insecure abt the fact ive never been on a date or kissed anyone #and now ive just kinda hit 23 and im getting into a mindset of 'ill do it when IM ready. not when someone else expects me to be' #and theres honestly nothing wrong with that? #like. for anyone who needs to hear it regardless of age: anyone who shames u for the experiences u have or have not had is Not worth keepin #around in ur life!! the right ppl (platonic or romantic) will accept u as u are <3 theres nothing wrong with wanting to be ready

Ik my period is on the way when i find myself hiding in my room bawling in silence because my mom shot down the idea of starting a compost bin for the garden she Theoretically gushes about but Also shuts me down on getting started every time i try because shes confinced im just going to abandon it like all my other projects. Bc the fact that shes spoken to me like that my whole life couldn't possibly be a contributing factor to my lack of motivation to do anything. Lol

#horse.txt #vent // #im just. tired and sad #its really hitting right now #because i havent been able to scream in ages i think #and also the nature of the situation itself #she complains about me not doing anything and then shuts me down every time i share an idea i have #i dont know what shes expecting. i dont even know what im expecting anymore #there's not even a point in complaining its not like shes stopping me i can still just Do it but. idk #i wish i didnt have to do everything alone

redraw/ redesigns of some old ocs (evelyn and rita!) i did as a warm up!

close ups/ side by side under the cut

(2018-2019/ 2024)

also these silly old women are in love! :]

#these are some of my oldest like actual ocs with story and stuff i have em since 10 i think!! #but i just havent drawn em properly since 2019 i think #i was hit with a wave of nostalgia and started looking through old sketchbooks n such and i really wanted to redesign em! #it looks that i aged em up but they where supposed to b old (i think evelyn was supposed 2 b 50 and rita 52 aa) #also some rambles abt em srry #evelyn is a retired adventurer and con-artist (not really retired from that one) she collects magical artifacts and resells em #or often bootlegs magical artifacts and resells em #rita used 2 be a fairy but lost her wings she and evelyn used to b adventure partners in their younger years but they had a bad fall off #she is now a magician and also a rival of evelyn's business of selling magical artifacts #okay that's it abt my silly ocs srry 👍 #worm out!!!! #oc #oc art

yall ever uhhhhh have a fun lil brain moment about how you spent your whole childhood assuming you wouldn't make it past your mid-20s for one reason or another and now you're 24 and you [have to/get to] live and you don't really know what to do with that

#kaylee.txt #tbd / #it doesn't help that bc of the way the last few years have been i keep misremembering my own age as already being 25 #which automatically sends alarm sirens ringing in my brain lmao #i think spending a few days w (mostly older than me) comic artists in the woods has mostly dispelled my complexes about 'oh god i'm 24 and #havent hit xyz milestones yet i'm never gonna be successful/happy' (objectively a dumb complex to have) but it seems its been replaced by #the new complex of 'oh god i made it to 24. next year im gonna be 25. someday im gonna be 35 and then 45 and 55. what the fuck.' #which is very 'yes thats how time works congrats' of me but u know how it is with brains

i think the fact that there just isn't daily aubreyad posts definitely makes me react more extremely when there is something new.....

#i think about them everyday. help?? #look a talking muffin #patiently waiting for my monthly new fic in the master and commander - all media types tag on AO3 #i HATE that i havent been able to fixate on anything new since 2020 just nothing has hit that nice spot in ages #and now im stuck with these niche old man sailing books #think of it as rotating in my mind and it gets faster and faster and every time there is a new post or fic or art or whatever #it slows down the rotation a bit. but because there isnt much talk about it. it just gets faster and faster #and then when there is something new they crash at extreme speeds. making me crazy #anyway. jack aubrey
