Day 21/October 21: Day of the Departed || Reminisce (??)

GRAHH ITS STILL THE 21ST SOMEWHERE i’m apparently using morrotober to try new things this one’s a new lineart brush that i’m sorta warming up to and the POSE and the BACKGROUND and the LIGHTING i’m surprised i finished this at all tbh. and also new morro design

bg lineart and sword vs neither plus the green ghost fog thing i do basically if you zoom in really really close the lines aren’t smooth on the lineless bgs but icba the pedestal can be chipped or something. i kinda like without the sword and fog cause it gives him a more isolated feel yk (that was my original idea lmao)

this one’s my attempt at funky mannequin hands

#i was sorta going for a reminiscey vibe #if you squint he’s looking at the sword #at least that’s what i tried to do #i’m pretty sure reminisce is looking back on good things tho so maybe not #i just now realized the sword would make more sense facing the other way but whatever we ball #alo if you see this these were the hands i wanted to do w your dtiys but i couldn’t figure it out so i stuck the sword onto him lol #SPEAKING OF HANDS I DID THEM MYSELF WITH NO REF AND IM KINDA PROUD OF THEM #LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW IMPROVEMENT BABY #at least i hope these things are kinda one and done #I ALSO DID THE POSE WITH NO REF although that one may be evident #i actually did everything other than the bg with no ref #i was coloring the bg in the dark so i hope the colors aren’t too wack i just eyedropped and prayed #the texture is weird idk how i did that #deadass i think i was coloring for like 5 hours straight #i actually kinda like the fog thing the outline reminds me a bit of the preeminent #ninjargon just says morro if you want to know about that #ninjago #lego ninjago #morro ninjago #ninjago morro #morro wu #morrotober 2023 #morrotober2023 #morrotober #ninjago dotd #day of the departed #i had more doodles and a comic for previous prompts but i got intimidated by the comic and got stuck doom scrolling instead #i’ll finish them when i have the time #and pick my ass up to tackle the comic #maybe i’ll just post it for myself instead of morrotober

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: 1, but only if it's very soft.

RANDOM FACT: Iris is really sensitive to textures and physical touch. It makes finding outfits a little difficult for her, considering Ferelden (probably) doesn't have a lot of great options in the way of textures, but because of that she got pretty good at making alterations to outfits. She is generally touch averse, though with permission, which Alistair is sure to always ask for, she's usually fine.

i still feel like the money from the egg figures is gonna go to the eggmins, including lumi and shade and anyone else that has left/been fired [maybe with the exception of like, flippa and tilín’s original admins since they were only there for less than a month but who knows]

like i agree that the way quackity is going about things sucks, with his mindset being that because he doesn’t want to make promises he can’t keep he won’t say anything at all, but i don’t think it means the eggmins won’t be paid. i’d assume, based on what he’s said, that he’s waiting to see how much money the merch makes before he promises anyone any amount of money. which again. is dumb, because if that is the case he could still just Say That. but i don’t think it’s a baseless assumption at the very least

#.txt #discourse #qadmin situation #sorry if this is worded weird i’m like half asleep rn #i’m still keeping optimistic #i know quackity has fucked up a lot and will probably still continue to do so for a bit #and it is very frustrating #but i can also see that he’s trying #i think he needs to shift his mindset a bit and work more on actually talking to people #even if it’s just telling them to hold tight while he works through things #honestly if things don’t improve within the next few weeks i’ll probably get a bit harsher #because like. c’mon man. i know this is gonna take months to sort out #that much is obvious #but if he can’t at least improve communication soon it’s like #there’s only so much benefit of the doubt i can give #but for now i’ll hold on to hope that he can fix things #idk i have a lot of thoughts on this situation that i don’t think i can get across correctly #i’m not letting quackity off the hook but i’m also willing to give him more time before i start saying he’s like #an awful person or whatever #i mean i don’t think he is regardless based on what i know of him but ykwim

well at least my shift today is only 6hrs and my shift on sat is only 5hrs <- guy who is pointedly ignoring the 10hr shift she has tomorrow

#the caffeine lowered my pain a bit at least 👍 didn't really improve my brainfog or tiredness but that adhd for ya. I'll take what i can get #maybe I'll cave and get some gas station coffee drink later #also i am Not taking melatonin again tonight i have had it with the stress dreams lol. I'll just take an edible and hope for the best #maybe I'll even make it past 8pm tonight... #doth oversharing hour

ooh BIG FAN of the legendaries looking like they'll all be located across different areas of paldea rather than being confined to one place like it's been since usum

#bwark #sure they're not exactly hidden but i at least got a bit of that with the treasure quartet so i'm fine with this #it's an improvement for me either way since i love actually seeking out legendary pokemon by exploring #also looking like there'll be more content for koraidon and miraidon YIPPEE #the dlc is coming out the day i get paid so um. hope my payment doesn't arrive late lmao

hello! can i request a short angsty fic where shouhei and his s/o gets into an argument, but it ends with a happy ending with some non sexual intimacy (i.e. wrist kisses, etc.)? I figured that i send in too many smut related asks, so trying to switch it up here lmaoo

You were doing everything you could to breathe properly but still your breaths came short, gasping. You were not going to cry. Not again. But still, the rasping of your breath could be heard, along with the patter of your feet as you paced incessantly, your feet wearing metaphorical, circular tracks around your apartment. Your eyes stung from trying to hold back your tears.

All you could think about, all you could focus on was the hurt you were feeling, the fear and worry that you’d messed everything up. Your mind kept picking apart every word, every action, every moment of the fight that had just happened in your apartment. You and Shouhei had always had a pretty solid relationship, honestly. It was so rare that the two of you fought. When you did, it was always about the same things, but those fights were always more arguments. They came about quickly, or so it seemed, but they always blew over quickly too and the two of you went back to having fun, to being in love.

But this time? This time had been different. So different. This fight had started about one of the things the two of you fought about most, which was the amount of female ‘friends’ Shouhei had around him and how you always felt they wanted so much more than friendship from him, your fear that he would spend enough time around them to realize that he wanted them more than you, that he’d realize they were prettier, skinnier, smarter, somehow better than you and you’d lose the man you’d grown to be so desperately in love with. And it had started as an argument and it had seemed like it would blow over, would end in the way all your other arguments had, with nothing really being resolved but the two of you just moving past the problem and continuing on, just being together and finding the happy.

Maybe that had been the problem, that the two of you always just kind of moved on. Maybe all your worries and fears had just kept building, never really finding solid answers, never really seeing a chance. They’d just grown and grown along with your jealousy and hurt feelings and tonight? Tonight, you hadn’t been able to just drop it, to just move on. Yeah, you’d kept picking and picking, you’d kept at the subject, but you’d needed Shouhei to change something, to actually hear you this time. So you’d gone after him like a dog after a bone, and the argument had grown to a full blown screaming match. And now? Now you were stuck here, replaying the argument over and over, scared to death that he’d left you for good, that in the end she really had managed to end your relationship.

“I just want you to listen to me for once!” you remember yelling, throwing up your hand, standing in front of him to block him from leaving the living room. You couldn’t remember the last time you’d felt so frustrated but that stupid bitch had been texting constantly and this was an ongoing issue you’d tried so hard to bring up before, for it always to get pushed aside. You weren’t spending another night with your lover with him constantly being distracted by that damn phone and her messages.

“I am listening to you! I listen to you every goddamn time you bring this up,” Shouhei had replied. His own voice was raised, his body tensed, and you could see the anger and how hard he was trying to keep it back. “I keep telling you over and over that she’s just a friend. Just like all my other friends you’re always complaining about. I mean, for fuck’s sake, it feels like I can’t have anyone else in my life without you throwing some kind of fit about it.”

“Don’t you dare accuse me of throwing a fit, Shouhei Akagi! If you would listen to me and actually hear what I’m trying to say, you’d know that’s not my problem at all! Stop putting words in my mouth!”

“What is your fucking problem then because I’m listening and that’s all I goddamn hear, y/n!”

“My fucking problem? My fucking problem is that instead of being with me, you’re always off with some other bitch! Even when you’re with me, she’s always fucking texting you. All I want is to spend time with you and actual quality time but you’ve been ignoring me all night because your stupid phone is always in your hand!”

“Those other ‘bitches’ are my friends. Am I not supposed to have friends now?”

“Oh, that’s such bullshit. She doesn’t just want to be your friend! She’s always all over you whenever I see the two of you together and she texts you constantly. She wants to be way more than just your friend, same with the rest of them, but you always make me feel crazy whenever I try to explain that to you.”

“Some people are okay being affectionate with others. It doesn’t mean they’re looking to hop on my dick, you know? For fuck’s sake, y/n, you’re being crazy and really controlling and I don’t like this.”

“Affectionate with others? Oh my god, Shouhei, I know you’re not always the quickest to pick up on things but are you so fucking stupid you don’t see it?” you’d screamed, angry tears falling down your face.

You remember that was about the time that his body had tensed up, his face had fallen into a stony, still blank slate. You knew that was when you’d crossed the line, but you just couldn’t handle it anymore. You hadn’t been able to control your temper and had said way harsher things than you’d ever wanted to. But once the words were out, you weren’t able to take them back, as much as you regretted saying them. Shouhei had pushed past you with a muttered “I’m not stupid”, and you’d yielded to him silently.

The sound of the door slamming as he’d left the apartment had sounded so very, very final. And as you reheard, replayed every word, every last moment for what felt like the millionth time, you finally stopped trying to hold back the tears. They came quickly, brutally, wracking your body as you stopped pacing, allowing yourself to sink into the couch. Your body curled up around itself as the sobs shook your frame, as your heart ached, and the force of your crying seemed almost physically painful. You weren’t sure how long you laid there crying, but at some point, you cried yourself to sleep.

It was the sound of your apartment door closing quietly that woke you back up. Terrified of facing Shouhei after everything that had happened, you curled in even more on yourself, eyes closed tight, pretending hard to be still asleep. He seemed to buy it too. Or at least, you thought he had up until you felt his presence over you. The sound of fabric shuffling, the sound and feel of him settling on the floor beside the couch seemed to echo through your being. You felt his soft touch, a hand coming up to brush hair away from your face. His fingers only touched your skin briefly before they alighted somewhere else, his fingers tracing the curve of your jaw, running along the length of your arm. You could feel him moving before you felt his warm lips against your forehead.

“Shouhei?” you questioned softly, barely a whisper. Your eyes stayed shut tight, your body so tense it was a little painful as you worried about seeing him, not sure if you’d like what you’d find.

“Yeah, it’s just me. Don’t worry…didn’t mean to wake you. You can go back to sleep, I’m okay just sitting here.”

You felt his lips once again, this time on your cheek. Then again on your bare shoulder.

“I’m sorry, Shouhei,” you said, your eyes fluttering open enough to just barely glance at him. He didn’t look angry, not at all, but the worry remained.

He didn’t reply. You felt instead his hand come up, his fingers threading through yours, holding your hand. He lifted it up, kissed your knuckles, turned your hand slightly to press a follow-up kiss to the pulse beat in your wrist.

“I didn’t mean it, you know,” you tried again, a little louder. “I said some horrible things and I just…I didn’t mean it.”

“I know,” Shouhei said quietly. “I know you didn’t.”

“Please don’t leave,” you said, tears once again starting to come. Shouhei’s other hand came up, brushing the tears away.

“I’m not going anywhere, doll. Except maybe bed…it’s way past midnight, Bandou and those games of his have exhausted me. We’ll talk tomorrow, promise, but for now…Come to bed with me? Hold me and let me cuddle you?

You nodded. How could you do anything but, with that offer on the table. The making up and communication could happen properly tomorrow but for tonight? For tonight you could start the making up in a completely different way.

#thank you so much for sending in this ask #it's so cute and wonderful #this probably isn't the greatest #dialogue is horrible #i sure tried #wish I could have done better #but the tank is a bit empty sorry #hope it's at least passable and that you enjoy my dear! #i definitely think he ended up dropping that friend #that bandou and some of the other boys talked to him #and things improve #because one fight doesn't make a terrible relationship #they definitely make up

Putting my journal down realizing maybe I shouldn't make a written plan to socialize more efficiently

#.txt #Is efficiently the right word. Diary entry incoming. #Going back and forth in recent days with feeling okay with one sided social stimulation and that's just kind of how my brain works #And recognizing I will not look like a well rounded person because I'm not able to maintain other people's interest in an acquaintanceship #It is likely. At least some part due to like labor isolation and all I do is work I do not have life events to interest people #All I can talk about is video games but incredibly limits the social pool because I like bad games. #And also to some degree distrust and the assumption my presence is unwanted. Which I've been working on a lot! #Today in particular is probably just a bad day. #And I have been very focused on life plans for the past week or so which has become very daunting #Planning on starting a business this year. Which is probably why I'm stressing about being able to reach people. #As it will become financially relevant and not just a personal failing I have accepted. #Reasonably it is probably a therapy thing to address being so afraid of other people. But I do not want to go to therapyyyy I'll do it. #Myself. #Normally. #Not dipping into woe is me I have no one territory at least as bad as I did when I was younger. Recognizing a pattern that I am enacting. #My responsibility to improve. Yada yada. I just wish it was a bit easier to feel my like. Presence. #And the constant improvement mindset straying into never good enough is very difficult to avoid. #And it's not a matter of being a good enough person to have close relationships. But I think its easiest to ascribe personal failure #When you are unable to do something. Well the most likely culprit is probably never leaving the house and being undiagnosed. #Which I can arguably do things about. #Also I'm tired. But I'm going to work on my resume tonight anyway and hope tummy pain passes and maybe talking to people will be easier #Another day.

"It was distant, it always was. That smile, that look, that vacancy-- Justice blamed it on the weather. 'Too cold to move my face,' the bee would half-joke, half say as an admission. Something about it was more than a lack of internal temperature regulation. No matter the weather or company, Justice's glazed expression never went away."

banter ✨ sorry

don't be sorry!! banter isn't my go-to podcast but i do put on an episode every now and then, i prefer the older episodes over the newer ones but it isn't a bad podcast or anything. like i think george karl and sapnap (knn? or is it banter trio idk i use ship names for /p too who cares) work so well and it's partly because karlnap are in love and knf are both menaces and snf are snf lmfao i know a huge criticism of banter is that the three of them don't have that much chemistry but they DOOO and they're all friends who make each other laugh and they say dumb things because they can be stupid together and i seriously cannot wait for the day banter makes its comeback and there are more new eps because i would cry they're so special to me AND TO EACH OTHER like george always gets his fond little eye crinkles when he smiles and sapnap does his head shake with the smile where his chin kind of dips towards his chest a little and karl fucking giggles like there's no tomorrow. i love them so much #SHOOTERS4BANTER

#like ok yeah i definitely think there's room for improvement but i don't hate it or think it's bad or anything i listened to every ep #back when they were at least semi-regular #i think karl and george are more suited for podcasts than sap (he's quieter and doesn't really have a lot to add - which isn't a bad thing #it's just a bit unorthodox i guess) and banter itself has huge potential that i hope it lives up to but it's not bad at all #DON'T BE SORRY NEVER BE SORRY THIS BLOG IS BANTER FRIENDLY 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 #i just outed myself as a banter enjoyer 😭😭😭 #ask #anonymous #✨

Ok so I need to rework my Wendy skilltree concept because klei heard ppl complain abt the combat and went alright then time to completely rework combat but very slowly one update at a time so no one realizes until we straight up give Willow spells

#rat rambles #starve posting #this is abt the new dst beta btw willow and wigfrid are getting skill trees #now I have complicated feelings on parts of their skill trees but this is a beta so Im fully expected attempted improvements at least #<- this is mostly abt the beefalo stuff on wigfrid's since it just feels. so out of place with the rest of her skill tree #but burnie desperately needs better buffs especially since youre required to take a lot of them for the lunar and shadow branches #I also have some complicated feelings on the direction theyre taking the comabt but at the same time it is a necessary change #but at the same time one thats only necessary because of them deciding to take a more boss heavy approach to game progression #basically this is their attemtp to get out of a whole they dug themsleves in #which means that as time goes on dst is becoming less and less of a survival game #which some ppl might like but its still a bit disappointing for a game that caught my interest because of the survival elements #its not terrible tho it just means that the devs have decided upon a new direction for their game to give it more heavy story elements #most of my main issues have come from how clumsy the change has been and how it very much means we're losing the original feel of the game #but original don't starve still exists so its not like I think its the end of the world that theyre differenciating the two more #anyways since the devs are clearly trying to make actual combat classes a thing within dst I think this completely recontextualises things #as in I have to throw all of my past predictions and expectations out the window and look over everyone again taking thin into account #since now theyve shown that theyre fully willing to make completely new mechanics for these skill trees including straight up magic #which reminds me god I hope they dont give wendy spells or some shit #I really really REALLY want wendy's skilltree to mostly focus on abby buffs and sisturn buffs #because if they dont thatll just completely fuck over wendy's whole playstyle and I desperately dont want abby to become obsolete #I also need them to give the sisturn actually good buffs like for the love of god pls its only worth anything in super early game #at Least make the boosted abby regen a worldwide buff it wouldn't even be worth using most the time still but itd be Something #also god Im so scared for walter skill tree. please have it not fall into the same trap as his base kit of being too all over the place #the wigfrid beefalo branch is what makes me worried since thats a very concept over function thing already #same with like. most of wormwoods skill trees #tbf they fixed at lot of the weird wormwood stuff and hopefully they'll fix the weird wigfrid stuff too #most of willow's problems just come from the bernie skills being too weak which is especially funny cause previously burnie was the only #notable stength willow has pre tree #I mean tbf burnie has always been the weaker support between him and abby (imo) so its not like hes been like amazing anyways #but willow is just such a nothing character that burnie is basically why you use her

After re-reading the manga I think that things really started to pick up/improve after volume 4 and when they really start making headways in their relationship although there was that one moment and I can’t remember if it was volume 4 or 5 but where kurosawa randomly pushed adachi against the sink and I was like );£:£:? cause adachi said it made him uncomfortable😭 but overall I’m in Love with volumes 6-10 and I do think it’s 1100% worth continuing

oh god that scene i hate it so MUCH dont get me started?????? it was actually vol3 so before they even got together which makes it so much worse imo, and theres this one line which is like "plus im nice" (as a reason for why adachi should be focusing on him and not rokkaku) in the manga which. kurosawa ily but shut the fuck up genuinely.??? only letting it slide (barely. like its on the thinnest goddamn ice) bc he was drunk and didnt rlly say any of that shit out loud but good lord its still so weird why did that moment have to be like that eugh.....

#i was really hoping it wouldnt be in rd but sighs...... at least theres not that dumb as hell line there #yeah going back to read the early parts of the manga its Really rough at some points (theres bits i regularly skip over bc no thank u) #but it def improves as it continues i feel like sensei really started taking things seriously after vol6- #-so the plot feels more grounded??? i think . which i do appreciate #but rip the magic shenanigans from older volumes tho they were so funny i miss them too #my answer

#found a picture of me in a dress from last year #and realized i tried that dress on the other day and have a photo that looks almost exactly like it #same pose and everything #checked the date and realized that i took them (unknowingly) almost exactly one year apart. the difference is only like two or three days #and its just weird cause like. ive lost a fairly significant amount of weight since then #and what they dont tell you about growing up not skinny is that if you do lose weight at some point and become smaller #it doesnt necessarily feel good?? yknow? like in your brain i mean. #i feel so incredibly weird about it. especially seeing the side by side. #and its also not that i think that i wasnt pretty even though i was not confident in myself at all. cause i was! i think i was at least #and i think im pretty now too. but i think the feeling of weirdness comes from the fact that most people would look at those photos and go #'oh you look so much better/healthier now!' or something along those lines. #like other people would see me now as an improvement rather than the exact same guy just at a different stage in my life #does that make sense?? i hope so #its hard to convey this idea #idk. its weird. i like the way i fit into clothes better and i like the way my body handles my chronic pain a bit better now #but i feel a lot of guilt for thinking that way because i have quite literally never looked like this before #and if im happiest with the way i look now then what does that mean for the body i had my whole life before this? makes me sad a bit :( #ive always wanted to love every version of myself #but god it is so hard to do that when fatphobia is raging and rampant literally everywhere #aiilov-personal

Sometimes I see some high level taiko techniques and part of me can't imagine being able to preform at that level but then I remember that I have so many years in my life to play like sure it may not be for a long time but why couldn't I get there eventually? Even if I learned it just isn't possible I'll still become a better player than I am and I'll enjoy the time as well so I don't stress over it

#ive already learned bits i thought i couldnt get my head around when presented with them #i haven't been playing that long but i know im improving so i just tell myself that that shouldnt stop at least not for a while #like maybe ill hit a wall eventually but i just gotta play and play #and maybe ill be older than others who play at the advanced level cause itll take me a long time but thats fine #i don't really compare myself to others negatively i just personally hope yo be a good player #talks

also something something frozen 3 & zootopia 2 (read tags for more of my thoughts)

#rubys clown thoughts #ive seen frozen 2 for myself... it wasnt too bad. and in some ways improved upon frozen 1. but also. idk how necessary it was... #and now we're getting a third one whopeee do you think people will actually get excited about this one #zootopia 2. i mean. at least we're getting another furry film from disney. thats nice #lets hope it doesnt drag back its shoddy race allegories back into this one... #irdk how to feel about furry films trying to make a statement on race issues... its defo a bit iffy

They should invent a knees that don't hurt

#speculation nation #imm in bed so it's not bad rn. just some lil tingles #and i think that MAYBE it's possibly a little bit better than this morning. but im not sure. #i'll see tomorrow. really hoping there's at least some improvement. #i really do not want to live with bad doll joints for very long.

Moving day is tomorrow, which means a bitch (me) is about to have spotty internet for a few days (to about a week).

So in preemptive apology would anyone want me to post a dialogue scene from near the end of my fic? It’s not plot relevant so it won’t be spoiling anything and since the fic is only about half (2/3rds maybe?) done, dialogue is all I have for it. But it’s a (potentially?) funny little chat between Will and Dustin.

(Also if u don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, the fic in question is a sequel to This fic that I wrote about a month ago /shameless plug😌)

I hope you’re all doing well!!

#Vee asks a question #tbh this scene is one of the first bit of dialogue I wrote for ST #so I really want Someome to see it #*someone #in truth this trip is gonna take about two and a half weeks bc of all the stops but after the first week internet should improve #I’m hopeful that the internet-less time will help me to finish my fic but I’m also not crossing my fingers #but at the very least it will give me time to Rewatch stranger things so #i have absolutely No Clue how long this fic is bc again halfway done and it stands at 9k #but I refuse to post it until it’s finished I won’t make the same mistake I made for my last two chapters fics i wrote #shut up vee #vee attempts to write #also idk who is even awake bc Timezones #so even if this post doesn’t get much interaction I might still post the snippet #it’s pretty short so #long post #byler #bc it’s relevant
