#i wouldnt complain about that

[tickfleato]

sucks that you cant like, casually bitch about certain mental illness symptoms or coping mechanisms or whatnot because regardless of emotional investment level it would count as Venting or Traumadumping or would cause people to get Excessively Concerned. like you gotta slap 5000 "i'm not gonna do anything stupid" disclaimers on it.

#i mean i wouldnt publicly vent about it anyway. but you know. in general #tick biz #indirectly complaining about the thing i want to complain about #by complaining about the fact that i cant do so without upsetting people

EDIT: PENCIL HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING AGAIN!! Thank you to those who donated, you have my ENTIRE heart for now and always

Hiii I’m back to bother you all again with technical difficulties. Long story short, if I have diagnosed the problem properly, I need a new Apple Pencil! And if I’m wrong I’ll need to replace both my pencil and the iPad itself!! But (and I am sure this will surprise no one that’s read this far) - I have no money 🥲

This isn’t quite a 100% necessary expense. I still have a handful of job applications sent out that are still waiting on replies, and hopefully I’ll have some more income sooner rather than later - but since comms and art have been one of my main sources of income this year, this is gonna be a decent problem for a little bit 😅 in the meantime I’m going to reach into the void and boost some stuff and offer additional ways that maybe I can earn some money for the month!

So if you do happen to have extra cash, some ways that would help a ton: my patreon (this month’s star tier sticker is going to be an aftg mermay design of some sort or another), my etsy, my kofi shop, or plain old kofi donations. But I also wanna be able to sweeten the pot a little, so there’s more!

I’m selling a couple original pieces over on kofi as well, including Raven Kevin, the Jean & Jeremy piece, and the og mermay comic from last year 👀

I’m taking low-stakes sketch commissions, also on kofi! For 15usd you can drop an aftg/tsc sketch request, and if you want to be tagged when I post it, leave your url as well! Additional characters for a little extra, and you can drop specific reqs - give me thoughts, ideas, meme redraws, outfits, or ask for a specific scene or specific au of mine (sure is a good month for mermaids 👀). I’d also take requests of my own ocs, but unfortunately for these kinds of sketch requests I won’t be taking others ocs.

All that being said, of course I understand if donating isn’t possible for you rn, so I’m not trying to make you feel guilty about scrolling past lol. If you’d like something free to do you can also just leave a nice comment or tag on something I’ve drawn to get my mind off the issues 😅 thank you so much to all you lovely people who support me in every way, it’s literally my livelihood and makes me so happy every day to make you happy, so! I hope you all have a wonderful time zone, and I hope you’re as excited for more merms as I am 😌💕

#again. i wouldnt complain about going over the goal #for reasons of idk if its only my pencil not working or the ipad and pencil itself #and also for reasons of groceries are expensive #and i would like some lmao #not art sorry guys #how else do i tag this. #commissions #kofi #idk guys you dont have to do anything 😅 but its better that i ask yk

my current theory is that PJO TV is gonna go the exact same route as the movies:

Movie/Season 1 - The writing is meh and is criticized alongside the heavy deviations from the original series. Some people are staunch believers that it is too harshly criticized for being a derivative series, and they're probably right to some degree. As a stand-alone media it's somewhat confusing without original context and generally received as Medium-At-Best, but not the worst thing ever.

Movie/Season 2 - The writers respond to criticism by making changes recommended by feedback to the first [season/movie]. These changes to be closer to the books are generally regarded favorably. The second [movie/season] is regarded with little fanfare. They solve too much way too early on and essentially kill any chance for them to continue the series, but set up a continuation anyways by introducing Thalia. They announce plans for the third [movie/season] and everyone is confused.

Movie/Season 3 - Is announced but never comes to fruition and everyone is kind of relieved by that. Also I personally hope Disney+ will be dead by this point. Maybe Netflix will pick it up to go with the TKC movies. I dunno.

#pjo #riordanverse #pjo tv #pjo tv crit #bonus comparison [movie/season] 1 - people complain a lot about Annabeth casting and those people are generally regarded as assholes #but otherwise the casting is largely seen as perfectly acceptable and often good #select scenes from [movie/season] 1 and 2 will be regarded as individual gems and agreeable deviations from the source material #often in part for being funny. such as ''this is a pen'' - medusa in general - Percy new yorker moments - ''dont walk on my roof'' - etc #we're gonna get s2 and Leah's gonna get the blonde braids everybody's been drawing Annabeth with a la Annabeth becoming blonde for movie 2 #< that tag is sarcasm but also i wouldnt put it past them to do that. it would be wholly unnecessary. but they did it before #tbh 90% of this is just me hoping D+ dies within 3 years #you can tell they're really banking on PJO propping it up

can't believe sp's book of kdj comments from twsa was leaked

#i saw this and was reminded of him #kdj number 1 yjh fan #this reminds me of the time in the dark castle arc #where yjh is talking to lsk and lsk remembers the times where dokja would visit her in prison and talk about twsa #and how kdj would complain that yjh was a psychopath and always used people to reach his goals #but he said the story wouldnt continue without him #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #omniscient reader #kim dokja #yoo joonghyuk #joongdok #dokhyuk #orv spoilers #(?) just in case in the caption

thursdays are meaningful again (magnus protocol)

#babble #im having a good time #purpoesfully avoided like everything possible until listening to it. 0 expectations. big fan of colin and ive worked with alices. id love t #pick apart how in two episodes her verbal approach to work is established but i dont have the spoons. shes not just anti capitalist shes. #shes like a teenager about it. how do i explain that better #complaining and continuing on because the idea of The Great Chain is immutable to her and she comforts herself with platitudes and thinking #of things unseriously? which is normal. not ideal but normal. its a coping mechanism with living under capitalism #and putting sam between her. serious gwen. and colin off like. eating a keyboard and weeping in his spare time. i like it #i wouldnt be surprised if sam and alice broke up because of her unseriousness but i like her so much.ive been her. #she and colin work at the same chain restaurant shes on register colin is a dishwasher and their bond is unbreakable. to me #bit unsure if any of this makes sense. eh. #tmagp

[aquarterasian]

honestly i love that precure is super simple and doesn't have a solid plot and maybe even has massive plot holes like who gaf im here to watch cute girls fight monsters and be silly

#precure #pretty cure #like obviously precure has its deep moments #and i have had complaints about certain plot points before #but overall it really doesnt affect my enjoyment of it #hugtto is my one exception #i think everyone is allowed to have a season they dislike. for fun #but even then im not gonna attack people for liking it bc i know its meaningful for a lot of people #im just here to have a good time im not gonna complain about like. scenarios that are so stupid they wouldnt happen in real life

[vigilskeep]

whats up with how they treat mizora in general btw. hard to feel inspired about finishing the game when every time i looked in on my brother’s playthrough of act 3 she was in the fucking camp ? i would feel sick the whole time i was there

#bg3 spoilers #sorry to only talk about bg3 to complain but what the hell genuinely. #yes i would love to spend the whole later part of the game with the creature whos been preying on and torturing my friend since he was 17 #leering over his shoulder constantly in my own fucking camp. that sounds like a fun game experience i wouldnt resent at all

[oftenlyshitposting]

make natasha's sabine wren speak bits or phrases of mando'a for the next season of ahsoka or next mandoverse project challenge @ hatman filoni

come on like i just wanna hear her

slip back to her native tongue whenever she's frustrated or excited,

muttering mando'a slangs whenever she's thinking,

cursing at an enemy in mando'a to confuse them,

and maybe even offer some mandalorian wisdom or comfort to ahsoka or shin

the potentials are there!!!

#sabine wren #natasha liu bordizzo #mando'a #mandalorian #ahsoka series #ahsoka #star wars #oftenlyspeaks #MANDO'A SPEAKING SABINE WREN #WHEN #give me sabine speaking in mando'a NEEEEOOOWWWWW #natasha has this thing with her voice and her enunciations #i think it's perfect for speaking mando'a #also i would literally fucking melt if natasha as sabine just speaks in mando'a #screamibg crying hurling my guts out #literally if that happens i wouldnt ever complain about anything

[husband]

I took her to the Vet for a check up/fecal test and yeah she did have worms :) and then when I got home my neighbor called and said her owners where posting on nextdoor looking for her, so thankfully she wasn't one of the byb dumped dogs but i still think it's weird to have left a malamute puppy outside in the Texas heat with fleas and worms while you're at work all day.. we found her early in the morning and they weren't home and posting about her missing till nearly 12am.

anyway we gave her back to her owners after the vet... hope not to see her running around in the streets again because this is the 2nd or 3rd time shes been seen running around the neighborhood. unreal.

#prattle #maybe people will think im a dick for this but i didnt really want to give her back lol #was talking to them about the worms and they said they planned to get around to it.. #i just dont know why you would get a probably around $1000-$1500 malamute and just leave it outside #if you work early morning to late evening why would you get a dog #the other dog the adult husky that was running with the puppy also had a ruined coat and was bone skinny #im probably being a dick but if not for my neighbor setting me up i wouldnt have responded to their post #i work with dogs a lot and have a special interest in animal care so its really irritating to have to hand a puppy back to that situation #i just hope they meant what they said and are going to do better for her #though i guess i just like to complain

[arsenicflame]

ive had to step away from all the analysis of the finale because thinking about it for too long it fills me with such a [rage? bitterness? frustration? all of the above?] the likes of which ive genuinely never felt for a show before

ive cared about media before. ive been disappointed by media before, but i think the difference is i haven't put my faith in media like i did ofmd- and the more time passes the more i feel fucking stupid for putting that faith in the show in the first place, when so many of the things coming to light now were already there

i cant think about it too long else it makes me so fucking sad, and im tired of analysing it to bits because its not going to change anything, theres no way to fix any of this, no way to find a spark of light in it, no way to come back, to resurrect the show i fucking loved.

im sure everything everyone is saying is well thought out and nuanced things but for the sake of my own enjoyment of this fucking show i have to just not engage with it anymore.

#the last post was the exception to this and its only bc that segment of the interview was directly on my feed #like im sorry if you followed me for my serious takes and now youre getting silly goofy dude #but not taking this media too seriously is the only way im coping rn #ikyk ive talked your ears off about my relationship with fucking show and the fandom in the past month but. but #nyxtalks #ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd critical #like. the serangela break up Sucks and i could yell about it forever #but in the end i dont think i really went in having faith that marvel wouldnt fuck it up #and thats the difference here for me #the faith i did put in. and the way i see how that i shouldnt have #ill still complain. but i dont have the energy to read them or try and write them in a way thats in any way fact checked or nuanced i just #i need to complain but i need to keep my love for this fucking show i. need to #again. ikyk. so. silly hours. ignoring s2 hours. making up that fictional man hours. i gotta #also please enjoy nyx tries to label an emotion and fails

[tittyinfinity]

Imagine being so fucking stupid that you think hitting a kid will make them stop hitting others. Why the fuck do you think they're hitting other kids in the first place

#just deleted a facebook friend over this #complaining that her toddlers wouldnt stop beating the shit out of each other #and then i saw another post of hers talking about how it's okay to spank toddlers when they make mistakes #they're TWO #they don't know why you're hitting them they just know they're being hit #their brains literally can NOT comprehend that their action was related to what they did #and by the time they do find out all they know is ''dont do this bc ill get hit'' instead of ''dont do this bc i know why it's wrong to do'' #ughhhhhh #.bdo

my coworkers are being turbo transphobic and literally refuse to listen to answers to questions they fucking ask argh!!! I can just tell you!!! I can just answer you!!!!! I have answers!!! to the ridiculous questions you ask in a mocking way!!!! if you listen for one second I can just fucking explain!!!! 😡😭😡😭

#they ask why would trans men NEED tampons for men since they are WOMEN why cant they juat use WOMEN ones those stupid silly women ugh #they keep coming back to the topic #and im like hey they are not women ^_^ and try to explain the concept #in easy kindergarten terms like hey you know how you wouldnt want to buy pink girly items because you are a (cis) guy! well #and them im cut off with more transphobic shit before i can say anything else #my coworker literally said her son told her and her husband they were playing spin the bottle on a school trip #and she asked so did you kiss any girls? and he said #sure when it landed on a girl then i kissed a girl (implying he also kissed guys) #and she said her husband was so shocked because hes conservative #while she said she just ordered the son not to say anything else #and she tells us 'i think he was just testing us or something' #wtf. i said well okay maybe he was testing your reactions and now hes not gonna tell you shit anymore #and she went like hm 🤔 #also the irony of saying her HUSBAND is conservative while she fucking. misgenders trans men all day and jokes about gay men constantly #in a nasty way #all of them do #im so tired #she complained kids nowadays are so caaual about gay people #and i said okay well i love it personally they should keep it up #and NO ONE at the table supported/agreed with me #sorry i am on a work trip and suffering #transphobia tw #neri stfu

Sobbing real hard :')

I still think Mirage #10 is the best one, but #11 is the amazing continuation that doesn't fall behind at all. April is always such a sweet character and Mirage April will always have a special place in my heart

#tmnt #vicky watches tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt mirage #tmnt comics #tmnt april #my top three aprils are 03 april. 90 april. and rise april #but without the og we wouldnt have the other ladies. and i love her #AND IM SO EMOTIONAL OVER HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TURTLES IN MIRAGE 😭 #i think it gets even sweeter in the future and i cant wait for it #I also appreciate that they took the time to be like this was a very traumatic thing for april to go through... lets explore it #colossal side eye to 2003 (which lets remember its my favorite iteration so i can complain about it lmao)
