#selfie bee #me telling a coworker who I have been working with for 4 months and whose name I do not know about my toenails #i'm sorry Tobias (?? Paul ??) it was the only topic I could come up with after I already told you about the big bird I saw in 8th grade #FRIENDS how are you!! :) how has the new year been so far!! #did you have a lot of snow on christmas! #we did and it was really fun! I had a very bad cold so I just watched the snow from inside but that was good too c: #do you have any plans for the new year? #i always have lot and most of the time I do not do any of them but planning is fun #this year I REALLY want to watch all of Star Trek ヽ(´∇｀)ﾉ #I would also love to learn how to make a handstand #imagine if you could just make yourself upside down #but it is a far away dream because honestly I am not very good at being usual side up most of the time either #but I will try probably at least 2 times to learn it ( ᐛ ) #maybe I'll finally finish that website! #new years are good and fun #it's wild to think about how much daily life has changed since last year but I feel just the same :) #who knows what this year will bring! #I hope I don't hit a pheasant with my car #I almost hit a pheasant with my car last year and the pheasant made direct eye contact #I wonder how he is doing today #since that moment I think about pheasants a lot #I knew they were real but I had never seen one #just to know they are out there is a mystical feeling #right know it is raining so all the pheasants might be wet #get dry soon pheasants!! #I don't think I've ever seen a wet bird either #I don't know what do do with all these birds thoughts #also thank you for the person who asked about my skirt!! ( ˊᵕˋ )♡.°⑅ #I've finished it and its really really bad #but I love it

I don't wanna go to work. I just want to write vampire smut, cook good food, and bake bread.

#i seem to only be able to write when I know i don't have the time to write #what the fuck is that about #neech's speeches #i did voice lines with my fiancé last night for his latest yt vid #maybe i should explore cooking on yt #good news is i finally started the actual sex scene this morning #just word vomitted 300+ words worth of smutty tension #jdkanskdk #sorry this is taking me so long #my mind has been a battlefield for the last month #also my work contract is up as of thursday so i have to find another site #i have enough saved to chill for a bit #i probably will #but still #that's stress #plus personal life bs happening ugh #I'm ok just really busy sorry

Character reference sheets and two frames from the animatic! :3

#work in progress #sketches #my art #a #qsmp chayanne #missasinfonia #qsmp #have drawn this kind of sketchy bits for like... maybe three scenes so far? like most of the frames for three scenes I mean #there's at least 20 scenes with their own moving bits and stuff so that'll be fun #but this is a nice start! and I really like the song and I like looking at my sillies so it's nice to draw too :) #started going crazy a bit after like two hours of drawing so I'm stopping for now and will continue next week again. Hopefully get another- #-- scene properly sketched out then #In other news I completed a small section (like less than a quarter of a page long) of my thesis and oh the feeling of accomplishment!! #it was a daunting part because I didn't know how to write it out but I did it!! Finally!! #and also had some trouble with translating my thoughts to english so I asked my mom for help and we brainstormed it :D #she's a great help with language stuff; both bc she's like generally good at english and also she's not dyslexic like me so that helps :D

I know this isn't the place to cry and whine but I just need to let out of my chest that I've been trapped for a while in a neverending chain of disappointments, and I feel like I can't take it anymore. But that's a lie, because everytime I think that, I can take another one.

#Like #it's cringy how melodramatic this all sounds #I'm aware of that #It's just #I've been taking so many shit for so long #and it took EVERYTHING in me to finally say #no #I'm sorry #but I can't do this anymore #and expected some push up #some fight #that they expressed their reasons of why they were making me go through this much stress #and they went like “oh okay no problem” #and it looks like good news #but they're not #because that means that it wasn't even necessary to put me through so much shit from the very beginning #and they did it anyway to take advantage of me until I couldn't take it anymore and #the worst of all #I had to say “thanks” #It was a 25 seconds phonecall and I had all this pent up energy #it took so much to gather the strength to say “no more” and for what #A 25 second phone call #and that's it. #Never knew I could feel so worthless in less than a minute #How fucking disappointing

Tfw you have to crawl out of artblock and fatigue because your new fave doesn't have enough content (I have to feed the fixation on my own.)

#the cloud can speak oh boi #good omens #doodle #so the good news is that I'm finally drawing again- the bad is that anxiety is still kicking my ass and posting is still horribly difficult #so I meme the pain away #also at this point I'm using him as my support demon #my favorite demon.. the sulfur <3 #<- me actually calling him Sulfur half the time and giving “Aziraphalala” vibes #No but why did I have to get attached to Furfur? I was doing so well with just caring about the main ones;; I was just swimming in content! #But nooo- lets get attached to the demon who has what? 30 mins of screen time in total? *Ugly sobbing* #I love his character so much though ougghh the costume design in GO is already something else but him? Idk I just want to frame him on wall

one of my biggest issues with new trek is that it keeps trying to make every season of every new show have such a monumental scale that it circles right back around to being irrelevant. there's always a huge evil plot to destroy everything in the universe slash starfleet (and the assumption that starfleet and the federation IS everything ((and that everyone should want to join)) is a whole other debate) and our rag-tag crew of misfits has to save the poor defenseless federation against all odds etc etc..... like i get it, big stakes = big action = big emotion. but it's too big. it's lazy. when "everything" is on the line, characters don't have to justify why they're risking their lives because, duh, it's obvious, they're doing it because they have to etc etc. there's literally no believable alternative in the narrative.

whereas a smaller scale issue (i.e. voyager stuck in the DQ, dealing with the cardassian occupation of bajor, and so on; still big problems to solve! but they don't affect the entire fabric of society) has moral gray areas and also specific goals the main characters should achieve other than just "save everyone in the universe". the characters could and did question their own motives and actions because there wasn't one right answer! the shows were about thinking about what the right answer was!!! how am i supposed to believe that the real treasure was the friends we made along the way if i don't care about the ""way"" in the first place????

#also just the constant 'oh no a super powerful Enemy is attacking all our carefully constructed moral goodness points!' #did we learn nothing from the xenophobic ent 9/11 fiasco #i'm just so tired of season finales that try to make me care about a fleet of spaceships getting destroyed in a giant battle lmao #rewatching picard and prodigy back to back and i feel like i've been bombarded with subliminal nationalism #i was so hopeful about prodigy. they started out SO FAR AWAY from the federation and this whole tendency #but no #again this is my old man yelling at the sky moment because this is just the way modern television is i guess #trek just seems to take it a bit too literal for my tastes #WHATEVER #a high definition voy or ds9 remaster would save me i think #i'm drawn in by the prettiness of new shows but then let down by the storytelling 😔

2023 in review! I made an effort to try more things and it worked mostly (at least for TV and movies). New things, new-to-me things, and new installments of old things all had characters to love even if I didn't necessarily feel fannish about them, and I'm hoping 2024 does, too.

#but yeah no I had a lot of fun with some of these #mp100 is now fully going down as one of my favorite works of art ever. i mean it. i'd stick it on a shelf with discworld. #trying Nida Manzoor's work was SO GOOD like if edgar wright knew how to make girls lovable I meant to only try one episode of WALP #and then I marathonned it all in one night right into the sunrise and I do not regret it #(look I love edgar wright but) #i had my issues with GO2 and Fionna & Cake and HxH (which I finally tried yes I am late) but still they had babies in them #one piece and the last of us did like major progress for proving those mediums *could* be adapted and not suck so seriously kudos #I didn't go into Barbie expecting it to Solve Capitalism and The Patriarchy so I appreciate what it did do #Nimona was just gorgeous #Across the spider-verse is so good it's hard to say anything about it #Peacemaker is obnoxiously good and Chris's breakdown near the end really got me #Bottoms & Marry My Dead Body & Ying-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity are just fun okay don't think about it #the strange planet show was sweet and peaceful to watch #and even with a 40% budget cut OFMD has my heart and ed is The babygirl of all time for me #thanks for reading these tags if you did and I hope you have a good new year #art i'm proud of

The huge irony in The Little Mermaid (1989) essentially being about a teenage girl who desired to be understood by those around her, so she went to a drastically different society in order to achieve that, and it's one of the most misunderstood movies that Disney has ever released. Disney Princess movies already get a bad rap, but this movie, in particular, gets the worst of it. It's truly amazing.

#disney #the little mermaid #meta #disney meta #txt #the reputation this movie has earned thanks to the pretentious dipshits who tore this movie apart for no good reason led to the stupid #useless changes in the dreadful remake #ariel never left her family or the ocean just for a boy she already longed to be a part of the human world #she had a WHOLE SONG about it well before she even laid eyes on him. jesus christ #eric was the catalyst. he was the final piece that united everything #he was like the bridge in this movie. he is a representation of the beauty (literal and figurative) ariel sees in humanity #but she also views him as someone who can understand her. that was the point of his character and the remake did not understand this #listen i know a lot of you are more into the “spiritual twin” kind of couple and that's fine #but they didn't have to have EVERYTHING in common in order for them to like each other #the point of their relationship is that they were indeed from different worlds (again literal and figurative) but he still seemed so close #to her #that was the purpose of his character. the final push for ariel to say “i'm gonna take the risk and go there” #it was about her wanting to be understood and that is precisely what eric provided #the new version just turned him into the male version of ariel which minimizes the point of his character #that's why their way of showing that he would definitely understand her but considering how ariel viewed the human world #she wouldn't have been as excited then lmao #if anything it'd been more logical for her to take eric away from there lmao #i went off tangent #but yes it wasn't just him tho he became a part of that desire. the piece that was missing. the final push

obligatory first post just so this blog isn't so damn empty, lmao old art bc too lazy to dig out something better haha Savitri (Azem) my beloved<3 (if this drawing has appeared on this site before, that was my previous blog, I had to remake for reasons)

#little Fire's art #final fantasy xiv #ffxiv azem #probably gonna leave it at that #I just don't like seeing an empty blog #makes it look like I'm a bot or something #I'm not #I am but a humble void creature #and what better way to make my new blog not empty than repost an old drawing of mine? #although it's outdated #but it was either this or risk being in trouble by posting light.png #which is even older #but it has the risk of not being tumblr friendly bc no clothing #I usually like posting it everywhere bc my girl Moirin #and it was my piece I did for playing ShB and that's my fav ffxiv expac #also my masterpiece #shading on that one was damn good #will never be able to do that again #although since then I've gained a liking to shading clothing #I should shut up lmao #I do like the version of this image with the description of her #but the text version is probably cringe #so I'mma just post the textless version

ever since we figured out my husband, his sister, and his cousins are all autistic, the possibility that i married into an entirely autistic catholic family where all of the older adults are undiagnosed is kind of objectively hilarious tbh. everyone's autistic drives compel them to need a bunch of alone time but everyone's catholic cultural mores compel them to put family first and repress the hell out of themselves. no wonder they're all passive-aggressive as hell to each other all the time and got mad at me when i didn't pick up on how to do "family" that way. i literally did get catholic religious trauma-by-proxy lmfao

#text #ik i haven't been on here a lot lately but my husband's grandpa passed away on new year's day #and that seems to have like... clicked something in both my husband's and my MIL's brains somehow? #(not that i'm saying it's a good thing he passed away. everybody liked him including me; he seems like he was a remarkable person) #like my husband was like ''oh shit vik actually is right about this neurodivergence stuff'' both in himself and in his family #and my MIL actually seems like she might have taken it to heart when i called her out for acting like a grown adult bully lmao? #like she hasn't apologized yet or anything. but now that my husband understands his own neurodivergence; #HE might be able to explain to his mom how she likely has RSD and i wasn't actually rejecting her #i personally struggle to explain this to her without freaking out that i'm not masking enough for her and/or getting angry :) #but ANYWAYS she did not yell at me at the funeral which is a minor victory for now lol #and the funeral was literally the day after my thesis proposal so i am exhausted af #(the thesis proposal went well too btw. i passed & will defend my thesis for real in a couple months; so i'll FINALLY be doctor vik!!) #so that's all the updates for now o7
