˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥

pairings: corpse husband x reader

warnings: angst, cursing, drinking, smoking, violent language, and minor mentions of anxiety.

summary: i can’t make summaries rn hhh just read it (:

“Sean, there is no way in hell I’m going!”

“Oh, come on, Y/N. It’ll be fun!”

“That’s what you always say!”

“Ugh, you and Corpse are so stubborn. At least I was able to convince him to show up! You know what you need? To get out of the house more often and come hang with us.”

“Uh huh, yeah, y’all have fun, I got some stuff to finish.”

“Yeah? Like what? Your ten hour nap?”

“HEY! Excuse me -”

“7PM, [club address], you’re showing up.”

“Sean - !”

With that, Sean hung up. You let out an exasperated huff, crossing your arms and pouting like a toddler who was just denied a toy. You were invited, or more accurrately forced to celebrate whatever the hell Sean and his friends achieved. With lives like theirs, it seemed like there was always something to celebrate.

You, on the other hand.. Well, you were just little old you. You met Sean by mere chance. It’s a very long story, but you shared some things in common, like your love for video games. However, that was about the only thing you could relate to with Sean and his little friend circle. You were more passionate about writing, as well as reading short horror stories.

Now, that’s where you clicked with Corpse Husband.

He was an underrated YouTuber, whose main uploads were narration videos on creepypastas and horror stories. That’s until he blew up with his Among Us gameplays, collaborating with big names like PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, and CrankGamePlays (EEF!!!).

You met over an Among Us stream with said YouTubers and immediately hit it off. You shared a dark sense of humor, love for horror, and music. You knew of Corpse before, but only then did you discover that he produced music, which you absolutely enjoyed (and blasted in your house for days on end).

When you found out you lived not even twenty minutes away from each other, you’d occasionally meet up, mostly at his house considering he only went out once in a blue moon. You’d sometimes even spend the night at his place, staying up late, gazing up at the stars, getting deep into conversation and opening up about things you never blurted out to people. But when you were with Corpse, everything just came naturally. You felt safe with him, and hopefully, he felt the same.

Night approached, the clock striking 5PM. You figured you’d get ready since Sean was dead set on you coming to the party. You showered, did a minimalist glossy makeup look, and chose an outfit, which consisted of a half neon green and black skirt that stopped mid thigh, and an oversized distressed band tee which you tucked into your belt. You slipped on a pair of ripped, striped thigh-highs with mismatched colors, (white stripes on one and neon blue on the other), and your platform boots that made you look like a Bratz Doll. You didn’t bother with your tangled hair. You teased it with a brush but didn’t put any effort into styling it, since it’d get messy anyways. To finish your look, you clipped on a choker and dangled a couple of layered chains around your neck.

Corpse would tease you, saying you had a “dog collar”, but you knew he secretly liked it.

All dolled up and ready to go, you hopped into your car and followed the GPS to the address Sean sent you. Drunk couples stumbled out of the club, dates headed inside, and old wasted guys were thrown out. Oh boy, you were not ready for this.

You were the anxious, anti social type. Not because it was edgy or cool, but you simply didn’t know how to handle social situations. However, it comforted you to know Corpse would be there by your side so you didn’t need to chat and flirt with strangers.

It’s not like you wanted to meet anybody new, anyways. Though nobody was aware of it, you had feelings for Corpse. Cliche, right? You knew you shouldn’t have, but you developed feelings for him. It made you feel strange and weird, considering you haven’t caught feelings in a while.

You came up with the bright idea of slowly drifting away from Corpse to maybe help de-escalate these feelings, but you were going to run into him at the club, so what the heck.

You headed inside, your eyes scanning the crowd and pushing through, searching for your friend group. You spent a couple minutes cluelessly looking around the club, but to no avail. Then, it was as if a light bulb clicked on over your head; you never thought to phone Sean.

“Ugh, I’m so stupid.” You reached into your purse to get ahold of your phone when a pair of strong, manly hands and cold metal which you assumed to be rings wrapped around your shoulders, gripping you tightly.

“Boo!”

You felt your heart stop and ran out of the man’s grasp, spinning around to look at who it was.

“Oh, did I scare you?”

The man’s deep, monotone voice rumbled above the sound of the music and shouts. Then you recognized that unique and distinctive voice.

“Corpse!! What the hell?”

His nose and jaw was covered by a black mask, with a print that looked like Frank from Donnie Darko, which was also Corpse’s signature look, seen in his channel art.

Despite Corpse being a faceless YouTuber, only very few people have seen his face, including you and Glam&Gore who he featured in his narration videos. You thought he was very handsome, his baritone voice matching his appearance. You had to admit, you were a little disappointed he chose to wear a mask. You loved seeing his facial expressions, especially his precious smile that would light up the room when he’d let out little fits of laughter. But you got over it and respected the fact that he wanted to remain anonymous.

“You dickhead,” you scoffed, smacking Corpse lightly on the shoulder. Corpse towered over you, looking admittedly both intimidating and seductive. If you were a stranger, you’d probably be running off, but you weren’t scared of Corpse. He was a big softie and a teddy bear.

Corpse chuckled lowly, slinging his arm over your shoulder and leading you to Sean’s group. He was protective like that, even if you were just friends. Now you could see why Sean, at one point, speculated that you and Corpse had a thing going on.

“So, Sean forced you to tag along, too?”

“Pfft, yeah, that’s Sean for you.”

“Hey, there’s my favorite couple,” Sean joked, patting your shoulder. You rolled your eyes at his drunk antics.

“Shut up, don’t make me choke you like I hate you,” you mocked in return, eliciting a fit of laughter from the group.

“Remind me to never hang out with you losers again,” Corpse mumbled sarcastically under his breath.

The night went by in a flash. Sean, Thomas, Felix, and everyone else was blackout drunk. Luckily, Mark was there to assist them. Since Mark couldn’t drink, he would be the designated driver that night. Corpse hung out by himself, sometimes getting approached by women who he politely turned down.

You, on the other hand, were downing alcohol like your life depended on it. For you, it would take more than the average number of drinks for you to get wasted.

“Y/N, don’t you think you should slow down?” Corpse questioned cautiously, resting a hand on the small of your back.

“Does it really look like I’m thinking right now?” you drunkenly slurred, following with a giggle. You waved to the bartender, calling for another shot, which he slid over to you, but not without hesitating after noticing your state. You pushed Corpse off of you, probably more harshly than you intended, and took the shot.

“Okay, Y/N, fuck this, I’m taking you to my place. We can’t stay here and you certainly can’t drive back home when you’re drunk,” Corpse scowled, stepping closer to you. Again, you shoved him back.

“No.. No..” You sighed, holding your pounding head in your hand. “Don’t do that.”

“Do what? Y/N, you’re drunk -”

“I’m not letting you of all people take me.”

Corpse blinked. “What does that mean?” He knew you were drunk, of course, and you were probably just blurting nonsense.

All of a sudden, tears escaped your eyes, racing down your blushy cheeks.

“No.. I’m so sorry. It’s my fault.” You began to shake and tremble as tears started to uncontrollably spill down your face. Corpse didn’t waste another second to take you in his arms, hushing you. “Your hugs are so warm.. I hate it. I hate feeling this way. It’s all my fault.”

“What did you do, sweetheart? You can tell me.”

Your heart ached when you heard his pet name for you.

“I think I may like you more than you like me.. I-I didn’t mean to! Please don’t leave me. You’re all I have,” you sobbed into his white tee, clinging onto him. “I love you so fucking much, it hurts. I shouldn’t have!”

Corpse stopped for a moment, processing your words.

You.. felt the same?

Corpse had to tell you. You were drunk, but he needed you to know.

“Y/N, I -”

Suddenly, you had a moment of clarity. Realizing how close you were to Corpse, you backed away, wiping away the mascara tears under your eyes.

“I - I think I had too much to drink.. I just need a smoke..”

Without giving Corpse the chance to protest, you ran off into the crowd, struggling your way through.

Corpse began to get worried when you didn’t come back. He waited impatiently on the barstool where you left him, anxiously playing with his rings.

He was just about to get up and look for you, when he caught a glimpse of you stumbling out the exit with another man who guided you, gripping your arm tightly.

Corpse fumed, his face going red and heartbeat speeding up. He went after you, knowing damn well you didn’t know this man.

The man took you to his car, placing you atop the trunk, your legs dangling over the edge. He stepped in between your legs, caressing your face. Everything was a blur. If your mind was clear, you wouldn’t be stupid enough to trust this random guy, who was probably ten years older than you.

“You’re too pretty to be crying,” he whispered, leaning in closer to your face, until a yell stopped him from proceeding any further.

“Hey, asshole, she’s drunk! Don’t you fucking touch her!”

“C-Corpse?” You hiccuped, hopping off the trunk to get a look at the approaching figure. It was indeed Corpse. His eyebrows were pressed together angrily at the sight.

“You know this dude?” the man said loudly and smugly, just to get a reaction from Corpse. “Relax, my man, I’m just tryna take this pretty girl home.”

“Well this pretty girl happens to be mine, and I won’t let you take advantage of her,” Corpse growled.

You stood by the stranger, clinging to him as you watched Corpse’s face twist into an expression of heartbreak when you didn’t budge. He then noticed the bruises around your arms and wrist, supposedly from the man’s strong grip. He was unbelievably furious.

“Ha, doesn’t look like she’s your girl anymore.” The man’s lips twisted upwards into a devilish smirk, only pissing Corpse off some more. Oh boy, was he ready to snap. He reached into his pocket, when..

“Wait,” you managed to slur out, breaking up the argument. You reached out towards Corpse like a child. His facial expression immediately softened. He gave you a loving smile and immediately took you into his arms, holding you protectively.

“Now, I suggest you get in your car and never come back,” Corpse threatened.

“Oh, yeah? Or what? I’ll kill you and take your girl, you motherfucker!”

Without hesitation, Corpse took out his switchblade, looking the man in his eyes.

“Say that again?”

You watched as the stranger’s whole tough act fell apart. Without another word, he ran to the driver’s side of his car, fumbling with his keys.

“Yeah, that’s right,” Corpse mumbled, not taking his eyes off the man until he reached his own car. You held his hand the whole way, processing what had just happened. Corpse noticed your distant expression. You got into his car, shutting the door and slumping back into your seat. He tore off his mask, taking in deep breaths to calm himself. Then he looked back to you.

“Princess?”

You looked to Corpse, your eyes teary. “Hey, Corpse.” You didn’t seem to be as drunk, your mind a lot clearer after the incident. “D-Did you mean anything you said back there? About the..”

“About you being my girl?”

Corpse took your hand in his, squeezing it comfortingly. He leaned forward and cupped your face with his free hand. “Absolutely.”

With that, you leaned towards him, hesitantly pressing your lips to his. Your lips tasted of alcohol, but Corpse didn’t care. He was admittedly taken back, his breath hitching, but he released the tension from his body and kissed you back, pulling you over to the driver’s seat atop him. There wasn’t much space, forcing you to press closer to Corpse, deepening the kiss.

Still being a bit drunk, you were clumsy and kind of ‘out of it’.

“I’d hold onto something if I were you,” Corpse mumbled, breaking the kiss momentarily to guide your hands to grip his shoulders. But you were impatient and reconnected your lips with his, no doubt causing him to blush even more than he already was.

You couldn’t help yourself and giggled into the kiss, causing Corpse to chuckle along with you, departing from the kiss again and resting his forehead against yours.

“I’m sorry, you’re just so fucking adorable when you giggle.”

You hummed in response, offering Corpse an innocent grin as you pecked all over his face.

“I’m so glad you’re mine.”

ANIME & MANGA I HAVE BINGED IN THE LAST MONTH: May 2021

I've Been Hunting Slimes for the Past 300 Years and Now Ive Maxed Out My Level: incredibly long name aside, cute af slice of life that suffers Same Face Syndrome. I'm still happy to watch it because of how feel good and fluffy it is though, Im probably gonna forget about it in two or three years tho. 8/10.

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro: I found out this was a webcomic first and suddenly all the HORNINESS made so much more sense. A Femdom, Degradation, Humiliation, Dacryphilia Bullies to Lovers story disguised as a high school rom-com which, I'm not going to lie, misses SKEEVY CITY by mere inches on a regular basis. However, I'm a Dom/Switch and this entire relationship sets off my dom brain center like New York City just shy of midnight. So if you're into that sort of scene, this anime is for you. If not, it's still fascinating but you're probably gonna be a little put off by how mean the Girl!Bully is to the guy MC. Unless you find out something about yourself, in which case, congrats! Stay safe, sane, consensual, and learn about the traffic light system on top of safe words, I promise you'll have a better life in general after that. Still Ongoing, currently 10/10.

Fruits Basket: IM GONNA CRY I LOVE THIS ANIME SO MUCH???? The original anime came out when I was in... I think middle school and my parents were really strict on what I watched so I never got to experience the first wave and I never bothered to watch the show ever after I moved out of the house years later. However, now that I'm much older I honestly can say this is one of my favorite anime to date, and all the characters are charming, lovable, with their own problems that I can connect to or sympathize with, and I love the MC which is always a treat tbh. Except Akito. Akito can suck a sandpaper dick. I'm only on S2 tho so no spoilers! Anime 11/10.

Monster Girl Doctor: went in thinking it was gonna be a monster girl who's a doctor with a homoerotic assistant (her name is SAPPHY okay sue me for thinking it) and ended up watching the entire dubbed harem series. Honestly, I've seen worse and this one has consistent follow-through on interesting characters and backstory enough for me to shove aside the blatant under-monstrousness of the female monsters and the harem-ness of everything else. Dubbing is honestly really good, which is a treat, and the monster designs are not the worst and the MC is tolerable. Honestly, I don't mind having watched it! The mix of cgi and the traditional animation together work pretty strangely though, and it often doesn't flow super well. 7.5/10

So I'm a Spider, So What: Dubbed version which honestly isn't that bad. Took me a bit to get into it, but after realizing that it's got a mismatched timeline a la The Witcher, it made so much more sense. Heavily done in cgi, and you can definitely tell between the 2D and 3D animations, but not the worst in the world. I went in not expecting much but it ended up being an Issekai I can stand and even enjoy. On god has a decent story... with the spider. I'd be a liar if I didnt say I skipped some of the human parts just to get back to the best part of the show. 8/10.

Somali and the Forest Spirit: I'm so fucking nostalgic for this thing it makes me want to go and hug my dad. About a human girl under threat of being eaten with a monster-dominated world. Very obvious "humans fear what they don't understand" message but instead of the humans learning tolerance it's what happens when they get annihilated first so like, kudos for the mangaka for having the guts to do that. I cried like a baby regularly. It's really good, I watched the dub and ID WATCH IT AGAIN!!! 9/10.

To Your Eternity: Oh my god. O h my g o d. Fell in love on the first episode, ngl. About if an immortal being learned how to be a person from scratch. I love it. HOWEVER. Keep a box of tissues on you at all times because you're gonna need them. I'm only on EP7 because that's all that's out right now but just know. I love it. Not for everyone but certainly for my "what do we define as human and the human condition" ass. 12/10.

Those Snow White Notes: A sports anime without any sports. About shamisen playing which is cool because I never realized how cool this instrument was??? Its neat af. OP1&2 are by Burnout Syndrom so know theyre fire. Gonna be real, its pretty alright, but not extraordinary. You can tell they were using the characters as archetypes rather than actually characters which kinda kills a lot of the emotional value you could've had, but I'm still gonna watch it. It doesn't make me cringe as hard as other sports anime tho so I consider it toptier in that regards but if you're a big sports anime fan you might be bummed out by it. Every single musical performance is INCREDIBLE tho. A solid 8/10.

Toilet Bound Hanako-kun: THE ART OMFG IT'S SO GORGEOUS. Listen, if you took coptic markers and gave them an animation budget with some manga panel direction thrown in there, that's this anime. It's beautiful. Gorgeous. I'm in love with the aesthetic every second. Story? Really good. Characters? I love the MC and his evil little twin brother asshat. Demons? Not super imaginative but I'm carrying on happy as can be anyways. Dubbing? A bit shaky at times but I found the voices charming if a little off for some of them. I'm already waiting for the second season with popcorn at the ready. 10/10.

Prison School: I watched this directly after Hanako-kun and it was like I got slapped in the face by sweaty unwashed titties and some fedora wearing schmuck's piss kink. No character is likable or redeemable. I finished it, but at what cost? 2/10 and only because a character shit his pants and I laughed.

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle: watched this right after Prison School and it was NECESSARY tbh. Its so CUTE and honestly, im not even kidding you, the fucking funniest anime I've seen in months. I watched the dub and the VAs are having the time of their lives working on this anime not just giving it their all but literally just going ham. Its great. If I read this im sure id be bored outta my mind but the VAs giving it a joyous performance make it an insta fave for me tbh. 9/10.

Sk8 the Infinity: i watched the dub with my bro and I can confirm that its a spectacular show because we both loved it and we have vastly different tastes. Incredibly SUSPENSFUL AND STRESSFUL for an anime about skateboarding but we finished it in a single sitting tbh. The last episode is not dubbed for some reason but we still loved it. Like if Free! was less obnoxious but the only fan-service here is Joe ♡ a beefcake who owns my lesbian heart. I think there's exactly one named female character tho and I legit couldn't tell you what it was if there was a gun to my head. So, over all, 9.5/10.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: I'm going to be entirely honest, I went in thinking it was going to be a boring isekai of no value. I was right about the Isekai part. It was honestly pretty interesting and focused on nation building like you're playing civilization rather than the usual "Get Stronger" narrative or "Get Some Pussy" narrative most isekais take which is delightfully refreshing. Granted there are flavors of that in this which means it doesn't alienate the big isekai watchers out there, but it's not the whole dish and it doesn't make me want to cringe the same way others do. You've got a slime MC just vibing and building a nation of monsters nbd. Does lose points for making the female monsters more humanoid than their male counterparts but makes them back by only doing perfunctory fan-service and nothing that makes me want to cry... except the butt sumo episode but in fairness it was all a terrible dream. Literally, the MC refuses to dream anymore after that. solid animation, decent voice acting, decent story, made me realize how HUGE this is in the Light Novel community???? There's like 18 fucking novels and that's WILD. 8.5/10.

MANGA:

Spirit Photographer Saburo Kono: a one shot special by the mangaka of The Promised Neverland! Honestly a really delicate touch of both super creepy and really touching, and I'm not gonna lie I'm bummed that this isn't a bigger project but the single chapter makes it a good taste for their style. I've been wondering if I wanna read/watch The Promised Neverland and now I think I will. 10/10

Deranged Detective Ron Kamonohashi: from the mangaka of Hitman Reborn comes this Sherlock and Watson derivative! Not even 20 chapters out yet with a sort of spotty schedule, I honestly love it even thought it's exactly as you expect. HOWEVER. Kamonohashi the "Sherlock" character uses mental pressure to kill all confirmed murderers and it's up to Toto the "Watson" character to save all those people before Kamonohashi kills them! It's just recently introduced a "Moriarty" family of crime lords (not a big spoiler don't worry it was obvious) so the tension surrounding Ron's past is amping up rn. Personally, I think the art is GORGEOUS, the characters engaging, and the story quick enough to keep my interest. Most mysteries are solved within a chapter or two so you're not stuck 20 chapters into one locked room mystery which is just peachy tbh. RN, 10/10. If this gets an anime, I anticipate a legion of fangirls who ship the two main characters along with their many friends. I've been alive too long to believe otherwise.

Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro: Yeah I read the manga after I watched the show. A slower build than the anime, but it works for the format, if theyd done the same with the show then I don't think it wouldve done as well. Honestly? Cuter tbh but just as horny. You dont start really LEARNING about your character until like, chap 65 tho and no real "drama" happens until like 75. A good chunk of the chapters are like 8pgs so its a breeze to get through. I love these slow burn idiots of the century. 9.5/10 because you can DEFINITELY tell the mangaka does hentai too.

Yugen's All-Ghouls Homeroom: one-shot by the mangaka for Food Wars, it's no wonder there's this constant perviness from the MC, a guy who can see and exorcise spirits. Takes place at an all girl's finishing school with KICK ASS monsters tbh, kinda bummed its not longer. The MC? Blatant monsterfucker who is also a CONFRIMED monsterfucker???? Idk i vibe with that single emotion. Everything else is hit or miss. 7/10 for monsters and cool concept, lost points for the MC very pointedly being okay with admitting he'd wait for the teenagers to be adults tho. Creepy af. Could live without that.

Hell's Paradise: I finished the entire 127chps in 3 days and I was really enthusiastic about it 90% of the time thinking about how deep it was and then I actually thought about it and I ended up being very neutral about the whole thing tbh. The art is fantastic tho, but DEFINITELY deserving of the M rating. Tits. Tits everywhere. But not tits to be ecchi over, no, monster hermit tits on beautiful women-ish figures. Now generally I give that a pass but a huge theme in the story is that men and women are "no better than one or the other" but like, lady tits are what you see 99% of the time. Men tits are few and far between. I call bullshit on most of the "deep" themes is what I'm saying, so it's like the mangaka was trying for those deep thoughts but missed the margin a little too far for my preference. That being said, the MC is a married man who loves his wife which automatically makes him my favorite character so like... idk so many good things, so many misses, but overall really spectacular themes and imagery. Unique but classic all at once. It's getting an anime and I have NO IDEA how much censorship they're gonna be doing but they're going to be doing SO MUCH. Oh yeah, and one guy is a plant/human hybrid who fucks a 1000 year old plant-hermit which makes him a canon monster fucker. And one canon non-binary character who I, a nonbinary, actually like. So like... gosh I've got mixed feelings. 8.5/10.

Choujin X: From Sui Ishida, mangaka to the mega hit Tokyo Ghoul comes this brand new manga!... Of one chapter, lol. Not really binge-y because it's just the one chapter out right now but I'm already keeping my eye on it. The grasp on anatomy in the art is PHENOMENAL and you can see Ishida flexing his art skill which is great. Can't give a true rating but I'm giving it a tentative 9/10 because I'm excited to see more.

Shag&Scoob: technically not a manga, its an ongoing webcomic I binged an subscribed to in one day and I just think it deserves more attention. Starts off funny with "what if Scooby Doo had a gun" and has been led to "what if all cartoons are aliens that survive and receive their powers by the humans that love them in an epic war with Martians." On god, its good. I finished the current series in a couple hours so it's a breezy read, highly recommend it. 9/10.

To Your Eternity: Yeah I watched the anime and then finished all current 143 chapters in like 3 days. GOD IM WEAK. I don't buy physical manga unless I know I want to remember the story forever and I'm already budgeting for the current books out. Yeah, this is a good series. That being said, definitely not for the faint of heart or those who suffer under common triggers like suicide, molestation, death, etc. It's all framed as bad and necessary to the story don't get me wrong, but it's there and has lasting affects on the characters. Incredible story telling by the creator of A Silent Voice. Keep tissues nearby at all times. 12/10.

Survey #385

“I am a human being, capable of doing terrible things”

Who in your family has been married the longest? (and how long?) Uhhhh. I don't know. Do you take your shoes off when you come inside? Yes. What’s your favorite movie series? I think Shrek when you consider all the movies' (well, I haven't seen the last one, but...) quality. No memeage here, I just genuinely love Shrek, haha. I would say The Lion King, but miraculously when you consider the focus on meerkats, I actually don't like 1 1/2 much. What was the first color you ever dyed your hair? Hm... I think I got purple highlights? Do you want to move anytime soon? Even though we haven't even lived here a year, yes. I don't like living in an urban area, and I also reeeeaaaally don't like our family friend being our landlord. I know that sounds very weird, but she's just a very controlling person who forcefully inserts herself into my family's lives now more than ever, and I have a pretty deep fear that a potential argument finally erupting will lead to us being kicked out. I genuinely don't think Tobey would ever do that, but the fear is still there. How good/bad was the quality of education you received in high school? Average, I guess? What was the most interesting year of your life, and why? "Interesting," maybe... 2017 or 2018? I learned a lot about myself in that time range. But at the same time, my life was (and still is) VERY uneventful. Just a lot of mental stuff went on. What was the first social media site you ever used? Myspace. Do you have any exes you really regret dating? REALLY regret? No. I wish I'd never dated Tyler, but it's not a massive regret or anything. He was still a cool guy that I have a few nice memories with. Have you ever lied on a resume? Or even in a job interview? Ha, I'd definitely stretch the truth about being more of a people-person than I am. I couldn't go too far with lying, though; I'm just not comfortable doing that, 'cuz like, they're gonna find out eventually that it's not true. Of all your friends & family, who has the most nicely-decorated home? Maybe my friend Summer. Her room has always been super cool. What brought about the end of the worst relationship you’ve been in? Apparently, not talking to him every second of every day two weeks into a relationship was a no-no. Where was the last place you spent the night other than your own home? The sleep study building or whatever it's considered in the medical plaza. Do you have any step- or half-siblings? I have both. What do people always seem to think is weird about you? The fact I don't watch TV. Do you ever braid your hair? It's way too short for that. Even when it was long, I didn't do it frequently at all. Is there any certain style of architecture you really enjoy? Roman, in particular. What was the last thing you gave up on? uhhhhhhhhhhh If you watch Parks and Recreation, who is your favorite character? I don't. What’s the last DIY project you did, if any? If you can’t remember, what’s something you’d be interested in doing? I'm not really into DIY stuff, honestly. I'd rather just buy products that were made better than I could, or commission someone who can. What's a song that makes you feel happy? I dunno. It's rare a song alone makes me happy. What is your favorite clothing store? Rebel's Market. How did you meet your best friend? YouTube, back when it was a more social platform. What is something you do well? Catastrophize any situation. Assume the worst of everything. What's a good idea you've had recently? Probably to re-engage with a calorie-counting app I used to use. I'm back to trying to use it consistently.

Little things that I do to improve my comics workflow (keeping in mind I currently use CSP EX)

Making quick toss away references for my shading and light layers that I want to keep consistent (color swatches with notes written to the side for opacity and blending mode) so that I'm not looking back at the layers themselves over and over (believe it or not it's actually a lot faster to have something to quickly color pick from in a separate file!)

Attaching all the eraser tools I use most often to the same hotkey so I can cycle through them using E (and similar tricks, but for me the eraser thing is the big one that works the best that way)

Cel style shading and then blurring and soft eraser when I want more subtle shadows; I often draw the shape of the shadows on and use the fill tool to block in, then adjust from there

Putting my preferred fonts in their own folder in CSP (did u know u can do that)

Being physically comfortable! This may sound obvious to some people but literally the major reason I've been keeping up with art better lately is because I set up a sewing table for my laptop in my living room last year lol

Using the line tool and shapes tools wherever you can get away with it

Color pallettes yes I talk about that a lot but I cannot stress it enough

Idk maybe this is something everyone does but when I'm flatting, I start by making a mask of the negative space in a panel with the wand tool, invert, hide the lineart, and then make a white or off white fill to start with before filling the actual flats. Making a full silhouette like this prevents that thing where you'll be using the fill to put down flat colors and find that you can see the background through the flatting layer, and anything you need to fix and adjust will show up bright white. I've been doing this in different art programs since probably 2008 and there's a number of different ways to get finer control over it.

On that note absolutely fiddle with your fill tool subsettings in CSP there's a lot you can do with it

(feel free to ask me for clarification or example pics on any of these if you need? I'm not taking photos of my sewing table rn tho)

@hurlumerlu replied to your post “Usopp be like "give me a sec *becomes a Christ figure real quick*”

wow did one piece become good again ?

Well that’s a tough one.

For context, I’ve been watching One Piece for like, a year. But when I was in high school I had caught up with the manga reading scanlations for a while. So when I started the anime, I picked it up at that part of the story, having a working knowledge of what happened up to that point.

It ended up being “I’ve seen Luffy build relationships with and hiring the ppl that end up being the definitive crew of the Sunny”, which kinda feels like Past Me invested the energy and time to read the setup to the actual story so I didn’t have to.

So I can’t tell if someone who started watching One Piece from the beginning of it would feel the same way as I do.

Let’s talk vibes and mood first.

In my opinion: One Piece is good. It can get proper silly sometimes and feel over-the-top, but it embraces it and makes it fully part of its own vibe and style. The universe is consistent, and the story never backs down on choices it’s made before. One Piece may be silly and over-the-top, but it’s unapologetic. Which I’ve been enjoying very much so far.

Now, about the storytelling.

Here again: I’d go with yes, One Piece is good. Eiichiro Oda knows pacing like the back of his hand; some of the best applications of “if you don’t know what to write: what’s the worst thing that could happen to your characters rn? make it happen” I’ve seen are in One Piece.

Also, despite all the silliness, the story feels real for a very simple reason: stuff that happens isn’t forgotten. The eye lost in battle is lost forever. The scar stays. The characters you’ve met in this arc will not disappear at the end of it but might pop up again later. The character motivations stay consistent, even when they evolve.

When it comes to the art style, it’s a bit more nuanced.

I like it. But this one can really be all-or-nothing I feel.

First of all, I gotta address the elephant in the room: The women are basically drawn as stick figures, with boobs twice bigger than their heads and waists smaller than my wrist. Yes. And it only gets worse as time passes.

That ain’t great.

That aside, the art style is very characteristic, especially for a manga, borrowing a lot of elements from cartoons (the main character IS made of rubber after all, so the stretches and squishes of western cartoons feel right at home here). Characters have flashy, colorful designs and it doesn’t shy away from going bonkers with body shapes: round, square, triangular torsos; huge characters and very small ones, pole-thin ones next to balloon-like others (also I’ll take fat characters being balloons in a world where all traits are exaggerated over the countless anime/cartoon/tv shows where they just don’t exist).

To a question like ”That character is important and strong and respected and kinda legendary how can I show that?”, One Piece boldly goes “Well that’s obvious, make them 1.5x bigger than everybody else”. That level of unashamed do-it-like-15yo-you-would’ve-done-it design really appeals to me.

Now, it’s good to keep in mind that One Piece is still a mainstream piece of media and has the flaws we’re used to see in such works — it’s no FMA:B.

There are pervert characters, boob zooms as jokes and stuff like that. There’s a whole ISLAND whose inhabitants are caricatures of trans women.

But also, the women actually have backstories and motivations of their own? They’re fully-fledged characters with their own personality and don’t only exist as men’s sidekick.

And the most transphobic-caricature-like character’s whole point is that “queers are amazing and strong”?? and the ““““romantic”””” main char that gets disgusted by those “men in dresses” actually has an arc where HE starts to wear a dress and makeup and enjoys being a woman?? But it’s still drawn in that hairy, bearded, “ugly man in a dress” caricature-like style ???

Overall, trying to ascertain just how problematic One Piece is is.... confusing. It’s bad in some ways, but keeps surprising me with actually nuanced takes on other stuff. It’s problematic, but it’s not a trash fire, I guess.

So yeah. That’s my opinion on One Piece.

#hurlumerlu #replies #i'm so sorry merlu #you asked a simple question and i wrote you an essay #i've been thinking about my enjoyment of one piece a little these days so ig your question provided an outlet to put words on them thoughts #i'll post more info on Christ!Usopp on another post if that's what you actually were curious about

i started thinking about that gay bastard oc of yours. platano. can u tell me about him

omg u wer thinkgin about platano..... mr banana man... mr 4011. i am obsessed with the banana code srry i just got back from work (it was good :-D)

any way. um. im going below the cut. he kidnaps people and he murders people and i hate him because he’s also a massive weeb so. hm

HISTORY OF PLATANO... yea his name is spanish for banana

his father, pablo, will probably get a name change someday but i literally never think of his father since the only thing he did in platano’s backstory was disappear

since platano’s world has characters based off like. fruits and vegetables (there aren’t really any limit to what the characters are based off of. it was in my lazy google translate name phase so we have like... a gay character named arcenciel who becomes dadlike through my powerful canon-changing touch. also arcenciel wears the colors of the rainbow as often as he can i haven’t figured out a good design for him since i’m not used to using more than 5 colors. he also owns a hat factory)

i think arcenciel and platano are friends they met when platano was like. 17 probably and arcenciel would be around uhhhhh ummmmmmm 21??? idk man but in canon he’s probably around 30 . yes i m saying “in canon” because i wrote a really dumb and horrible story back in 2018 arcenciel used to have HUGE internalized homophobia and i turned that into a running joke and i dislike that so that’s a reason why i’m not sharing the fun little story i wrote for my friends

(the best part of that story is when arcenciel threw his light-up rainbow heelies at platano, thus starting the boss fight which the main cast LOST.)

ok back to the topic at hand. platano.

i have a whole doc named platano where i just wrote drabbles about him so i’m going to summarize them

the first one was his friend, percisi (my only cishet oc he’s very short and very aggressive while also dressing in a soft-colored turtleneck since he’s based off of peaches) using a misunderstood form of satanism to summon satan. guess what percisi and platano summoned satan for. it was a manga update! wow

i won’t say the mangas name it was an inside joke

so platano was like “hey satan can i have this manga now please please” and satan went “sure just kill people for me”

that determined platanos job for the next 7 or so years <3 wonderful.

(it was basically me writing a backstory for a scene to happen in the main writing i wrote for my friends. he killed someone because someone else in the building was trying to summon satan. very confusing but okay i guess.)

i think right after that i wrote about platano meeting his boyfriend, sage, for the first time. i have horribly mixed feelings about their relationship since it’s very. Hm.

so platano kidnaps people to watch anime with him because all his friends left him and his best friend, mangue, is too busy being a dictator over the Land of the Fruits. i shit you not fruits oppressed the vegetables. i wrote that dynamic between the two because i was learning about the revolutionary war in US History. something like that at least

(the Land of the Fruits is not the official name)

on the topic of kidnapping people. guess who his favorite person was. sage. it was sage. so he tried to take sage often but they probably discussed Proper boundaries since everyone else tried to run away. hmm i am now going to write a bit right now

“Platano,” Sage started. “Why do you keep kidnapping me? It’s rude and I hate it.”

“What else am I supposed to do?” The yellow-haired fool leaned on his sword, digging the tip deeper into the ground.

“ASK ME IF I WANT TO HANG OUT??”

“I can do that?”

“You keep making my dads worried.” Sage looked around the area, fidgeting with his hands.

“Oh. Okay. Want to hang out? Watch some anime?” Platano paused for a moment, but managed to say “Maybe kiss?” before Sage got to answer.

“I- KISS??? We can watch anime together. We can go now.”

Sage ushered Platano through a portal as fast as he could.

His dads were never worried.

hmmm maybe that’s alright idk i’m a little tired so it’s probably a little out of character. sage probably isn’t that loud but i think it was trying to be the dynamic of “oh, we’re not dating” when they kiss every sunday at 5 pm by a romantic river scene

he’s a character who is, at his very core, horrible and bad. he is portrayed in a way i DESPISE but i’m too lazy to correct it. his interest in sage actually started with me going “hmm i think platano would draw sage like this” then sauce giving me fun facts about his oc, sage, yea sage is sauce’s oc <3 epic win . so sauce gave me fun facts about sage and i was like “time to doodle these in platanos ‘art style’” when in reality it’s just the mockery of people just getting into an anime art style, with the chin so pointy it could cut a cake

i might reread my old writing from 2018. i gotta agree with the judges for that year i did not write very well

it mightve actually been made in 2017 which would be FUCKIN CRAZY im gonna check rn

yea it was started in 2018. february 14th... huh . finished it completely in june of that year it was 41 pages total and it’s not even double spaced how did i write something without double spacing it

OH MY GOD BOB IS GOING TO HIJACK THIS RANT JUST FOR A LITTLE

so bob is a fluffy little anthro cloud with a grey top hat and bowtie. he is amazing. i love bob. bob is another one of sauce’s character and mangue (mentioned earlier) was made by my friend jamie

(you can always ask for their tumblrs but i’d ask them if its okay to share their tumblrs. i might just look at them and reblog their stuff cuz i like their art!!! maybe jamie posted a drawing she made recently on her blog but tbh i don’t think she would she’s more of a twitter user)

ok so im skimming thru UMG which is the story it stands for “Universe of Magic Gardens” and it was originally made for a prank on ponytown so people would go “what’s UMG” and my friends and i would be like “ur mom gay xDDDDDD” or something like that . horrible but i’m glad i’ve changed from . that.

here’s a bit i actually like AKLJFISJFIO

“What the actual FUCK, Ilkie?!” Arcenciel cringed in fear. “Put it back- it’s too ugly.” He pointed at Platano, whose arms were crossed.

why is it bolded. anyway.

i just saw a part where eau used y’all... water cowboy moments <333 i really need to make refs for all of those old characters. all of my umg-related characters have to be my oldest-living ocs.

i cant believe this is making me genuinely reread my old writing just to go “WJHFSIDAJKSFIOJ WTF????”

some of the lines on it sound like something you would hear on like. a school bus or somethin

looking at umg like “wtf how did i add so much Meat to this writing” bc most of my writing now is mostly quotations to progress the story (like the quickie i wrote earlier. i could add meat to it but im tired lol)

OK THIS IS MORE GENERAL BUT MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS WAS WRITING HAIKUS FOR PORTALS. after you visit a place enough times it’s kind of just an instinct to open a portal there so you don’t have to recite a haiku

uhh ok here’s another bit becuase im feeling like living la vida loca. ur biggest regret should be “can you tell me about him” by this point bc i’ve written too much to go back now

He landed on his face once he was outside of the hat. Meko quickly walked over to the guest room, opened the Portals for Dummies book, and flipped to a page. It looked devious.

“Banana, mango,

Each tasting amazingly.

A taste of evil.”

Meko did the dance on the page, it consisted of something that looks like it’s from an anime. A portal opened, the familiar scent of bananas and mangoes coming from it. With some hesitation, Meko stepped in. He quickly made it so only his head peeked in.

it wasnt bolded this time but i like it bolded. ok i understand how i added meat it was just shitty expired meat ALKFSJSHDAIUJKFEIODSJAK . it wasnt even that much meat DAMN. it just looked like more.

actually that’s all i will write. i could do more w platano but yea at his base he is a blonde twink who kills people because he wanted a manga but now he’s friends with a dictator. woo! wow. amazing character writing. i cant wait to get motivation to rewrite everything and make platano a good villain (he will still be very interested in anime sadly. idk why around that time i liked making characters who were obsessed with anime i didn’t even watch it much myself. i think it was because i wanted to put capes on them)

#I REALLY WENT SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC #like i went broader then refocused in at the end #so if you want the basics its just. right at the end #my brain's out of work mode now it's going into the deepfry machine #melon-official

Nursing Homes vs Assisted Living Communities

Is a nursing home your high-quality choice for senior care? It's critical to understand that nursing homes and assisted dwelling centers are becoming extra alike. Often those who initially search for a nursing home determine that assisted living is a better fit. Here we take a look at developments in offerings and costs for each kinds of dwelling arrangements.

The phrases nursing domestic and assisted residing middle have distinctive connotations. Although the two styles of senior houses are becoming greater alike, their class names still matter. Facilities that offer “progressive care” can fall into each groups.

Assisted Living Centers

Assisted dwelling centers fit many people's needs, often providing extra services than people assume.

With assisted living (as with nursing domestic care) residents can get private care assistance inside the regions of bathing and dressing, meals, medicine management, transportation, stepping into bed, and more.

Residents can get help with laundry, housecleaning, paperwork and different chores.

Compared with nursing homes, assisted dwelling centers cost much less and allow extra freedom. Planned sports are probable to be extra enormous and lively. However, as compared with nursing homes they aren't as well equipped for clinical care.

Generally the federal government regulates nursing houses, and states alter assisted living centers. Federal regulation stipulates that nursing houses need to have RNs on responsibility at all times. This isn't continually a requirement in state-permitted assisted dwelling centers.

Nursing Homes

Nursing homes value extra due to the fact the care is extra intensive. For example, residents in nursing houses are more likely to apply wheelchairs or be bedridden. And even though humans in assisted care might have dementia, people in nursing houses who have dementia generally tend to have greater superior symptoms. Overall a nursing home is ideal whilst someone can advantage from consistent tracking and care from registered nurses and different scientific staff. As defined below, nursing houses have become greater like assisted living communities. A trend called “culture trade” is making nursing home atmospheres greater domestic-like.

Progressive Care

Progressive Care: Sometimes people choose nursing homes due to the fact they count on wanting reminiscence care or different superior care soon, and they'd rather not relocate twice. A better solution could be deciding on an assisted living facility that offers “innovative care” or “a continuum of care.” A resident can start out inside the assisted dwelling place of a domestic, then move simply a quick distance if extra extreme care is wanted later on.

Culture Change Nursing Homes: A stereotype of nursing homes is that they sense institutional, or impersonal and bleak. The concept has a organization foundation in reality — yet in recent times many nursing houses are warm, personalised and high quality environments for citizens and staff. An enterprise aim called “culture exchange” enables provide an explanation for the transformation. Compared with traditional nursing homes, culture alternate nursing homes give residents greater freedoms. For example:

Residents can pick their very own bedtimes although end-of-day private care assistance is needed; bedtime doesn't observe a strict schedule.

Other examples are multiple choices for sports and mealtimes.

Residents would possibly additionally have the ability to decorate their rooms with furniture and art work from home.

Culture change nursing houses also assign the same employees to the identical residents for consistency and comfort. Sometimes this is called “character-centered care” due to the fact it's targeted on what's nice for individuals, not what's easiest for managers. Residents have a greater feel of manipulate and independence, and this may impact their general well-being. Population size also can powerfully affect great of life, as it shapes a man or woman's sense of network. Many culture exchange nursing houses therefore institution their citizens into communities of 20 humans or less. Each micro-community has its very own refrigerator for snacks, and probable meals are organized with the institution's workforce for a homelike atmosphere. Also for a experience of network, each day bulletins are brought in man or woman with the aid of a acquainted workforce member, now not impersonally over a PA system. Besides taking a individual-focused technique with residents, culture trade nursing homes take care to sell personnel empowerment. This can result in decrease turnover quotes and happier workers, similarly improving citizens' experiences.

Nursing Home Costs

Compared with an assisted dwelling network, a nursing domestic expenses approximately double. This is due to the fact the everyday resident needs a better level of care. The charge is calculated at a day by day rate, then elevated for month-to-month billing. In 2016, a GenWorth observe located that the median month-to-month costs at Medicare-licensed nursing houses have been approximately:

$6,850 with a semi-non-public room

$7,seven-hundred with a personal room

Rates may be a whole lot better too… and looking beforehand ten years, GenWorth expects that the typical resident will in all likelihood be charged more than $10,000/month. Obviously, dwelling in a nursing domestic charges more in keeping with month than what the average American spends on rent or a mortgage price. Fortunately each person has a charge solution the usage of non-public or public funds. You can jump beforehand to learn extra approximately deciding to buy nursing home care.

The fee of a nursing domestic live is generally covered via coverage whilst the stay is for rehabilitation. Medicare pays for a nursing home live if the resident is anticipated to return home within a three month period. Once an person needs long term or custodial care, health insurance no longer pays for the person to live in a nursing domestic.

It fees more to stay in a nursing home over an assisted living facility due to the fact extra care is provided. In an assisted dwelling facility, meals are provided, medicine reminders are given and people have the help they need near via. The workforce to resident ratio can be pretty low, as residents frequently don't want a whole lot assistance at all.

In a nursing home, the extent of care is lots higher. Residents of a nursing home want clinical care, medicinal drug control and hands on assistance with the sports of day by day living. The personnel to resident ratio in a nursing domestic is more than in an assisted living facility. This increases the value dramatically, as the staffing wishes are pricey for the facility.

When you want a higher level of care whilst staying in a nursing home, which include dementia care, the price of staying within the a nursing home can growth significantly. If you will be paying privately for nursing domestic care, locating the maximum cheap nursing domestic in your location will be vital to your budget.

Nursing Home Payment Solutions

Staying at a nursing home within the US costs roughly $7,000 consistent with month however we see masses of nearby variation. For examples of extremes, in 2017 the standard fee was about $150 in keeping with day in Oklahoma and about $800 consistent with day in parts of Alaska. Nursing domestic prices are also shaped by using the resident's room setup, the facility's amenities and the extent of care required… but in any case, the lifestyle isn't cheap! How do people pay for nursing houses? Ideally meeting with a monetary guide first, individuals and families locate answers with personal and/or public funds. Especially while a spouse's living expenses need to be considered too, it's very clever to get expert guidance. Here's an introductory manual to fee answers.

Private Pay

Nursing domestic care is expensive. Therefore it's commonplace to pay privately at first, then flow to Medicare or another funding supply. The main gain of paying privately is flexibility. With Medicare and other taxpayer-subsidized packages, seniors have fewer picks due to the fact nursing houses can restrict their numbers of publicly-funded enrollees. For this reason it's important to recognize the accepted payment setups before deciding to move into a given facility. Sources of personal price range could be financial savings or cash from cashing out IRAs and different investments. People additionally borrow from lifestyles insurance rules, sell their houses, and get opposite mortgages as explained below.

Annuity (Savings)

Planning ahead for long-time period care, someone with financial savings should buy an annuity. The underwriter receives a lump sum of coins and then issues everyday monthly bills to the person following retirement. The individual can use these payments for a nursing home, a vehicle payment or whatever else. The main gain of having an annuity is financial discipline. The annuity forces savings to be stretched out over time, and ordinary payments are guaranteed. Additional blessings of annuities are:

Savings placed into an annuity are shielded from attention on packages for authorities aid

a person who lives long should draw more from the account than they placed in

The main downside of annuities is that cost is misplaced in commission and annual charges. Also, penalties are charged if funds are withdrawn early.

Life Insurance

A complete lifestyles coverage coverage (but now not a term lifestyles insurance coverage) can be tapped for long-term care bills. However, this of direction reduces the financial gain for heirs. Three techniques are:

surrendering a coverage

selling a policy

converting life coverage to “lifestyles guarantee”

First, an entire existence coverage policy may be surrendered to the provider. This way that the company buys the coverage returned from the policyholder. However, commonly they'll pay just 50 to seventy five percent of the face price. Similar terms are provided for the second approach: promoting the policy to a “life settlements” enterprise. Again the typical offer is set 50 to seventy five percentage of the policy's price. The lifestyles settlements organisation keeps to pay the coverage's premiums until the policyholder passes away. The business enterprise then receives the economic payout. Life insurance conversion to “existence warranty” is a 3rd choice designed especially to pay for long-term senior care. Like life insurance, life assurance includes a savings assure plus an investment portfolio. Life coverage conversion accounts might give much less for senior care but hold a death advantage (inheritance). The advantages and disadvantages vary from character to man or woman. Meeting with a economic advisor might be worthwhile.

Long Term Care Insurance

When a person is planning well earlier to pay for senior care, buying long term care coverage can be a smart circulate. It lets in extra freedom of desire compared with using Medicare and different public packages for nursing domestic payment. People buy policies that pay anywhere from about $2,000 to $10,000 per month. To protect against dramatic market changes, inflation protection can be protected with month-to-month premium payments. It's essential to recognize that long time care coverage guidelines range in phrases of whilst they'll pay benefits. Generally to receive payments for nursing domestic care or assisted dwelling, a person must want help in at the least two ADLs or sports of day by day dwelling. A doctor's announcement of this need is needed as a part of the claim.

Renting Out a Property

When a senior leaves their old living area empty, then renting it out with careful management might be a treasured supply of profits. Turning a domestic right into a condominium would possibly turn out to be a permanent supply of earnings for the family, or just a transient supply of earnings until the house is sold. Ideally any condominium arrangement will be made whilst the home owner is still a able decision-maker. For a loved one to take over, that individual will want legal guardianship or power of legal professional over the owner of a house.

Bridge Loan

Bridge loans can cowl people's living costs as they await a property sale, pension payout, or other truly guaranteed supply of earnings. A bridge loan is a short-term loan but often the first payment isn't due until 90 days after signing. Common loan lengths are from three months to two years.

Reverse Mortgage Loan

While a bridge mortgage can assist at some point of a pending domestic sale, a opposite mortgage mortgage facilitates maintain the home till the second one spouse actions out or passes away. The loaned cash can help pay for nursing domestic care. The maximum loan amount available is based on domestic equity. The gain of the usage of a reverse mortgage loan for nursing domestic payment is covering housing costs at once. However, when the second one character no longer lives within the domestic, mortgage payments turn out to be due. Often heirs opt to sell the belongings alternatively than maintain payments.

Medicare & Medicaid

Medicare and Medicaid are taxpayer-funded programs that assist seniors pay for nursing home care. Both packages are constrained to human beings with considerable economic want. Medicare is typically confined to medical care for shorter time periods. Medicaid helps cover custodial care. It's feasible to be eligible for both applications at once. Medicare nursing home coverage applies to financially eligible people aged 65 and up who meet all three of those criteria:

to begin with require a hospital stay of three nights or longer

require professional nursing or rehabilitative care as judged through a physician

move to a nursing domestic within 30 days of hospitalization

Without hospitalization, the individual may be eligible for Medicare domestic nursing visits instead. When a patient is eligible for Medicare nursing domestic care, the program may additionally pay the full price of nursing domestic take care of up to twenty days.

Medicare will also supplement a live for a further 80 days (for a complete of 100), but the affected person has a co-pay of more than $150/day.

If psychiatric care is needed, the period of care with Medicare supplements may be further extended.

Medicaid, on the alternative hand, helps pay for long-term personal care (such as help with bathing and eating) in nursing houses and different settings. Because Medicaid is in part nation-run, eligibility and advantages vary by using location. You can see the state-of-the-art country government policies at benefits.Gov. Tip: Shifting one's economic belongings ought to carry Medicare/Medicaid eligibility. For example, when planning for senior care extra than five years in advance, someone should lessen their assets in a “Medicare-friendly” manner by means of shifting a belongings deed to a relative. A man or woman could also set cash aside for funeral costs and it won't count number as an asset, not like if the cash had been kept in savings.

RN Portfolio #7 - Period style

Selected Design Periods from the Mid-19th Century Onwards

Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau was fashionable towards the end of the 19th century, up until WWI. The style is very ornamental with an asymmetrical design that has sweeping and rhythmic long lines holding the design together. It often includes naturalistic elements such as plants, making use of lines and forms reminiscent of vine tendrils. Insects, especially insect wings, are frequently incorporated as well. Designs were often colorful and playful.

Pictured below is a pendant that can easily be recognized as Art Nouveau. The figure has an asymmetrical pose that ends with the dress turning into rhythmic and sweeping lines. The figure is also framed by insect wings.

The following pictures show the interior of a mansion in Russia designed by the famous Art Nouveau architect Fyodor Schechtel in 1900-1902. Looking at the staircase there is a rhythmic flow, wavelike and pulsing downward, again the sweeping lines are seen to be a very prominent feature. Naturalistic elements are found throughout the house as is typical of the style. A lot of sea life is incorporated, such as the jellyfish light at the end of the staircase. Other animals that are featured are the lizards at the top of a column in the last picture. Note the rhythmic form of their poses with the tails ending in tendril-like curves.

Art Deco

Art deco was a style that emerged after WWI and when Art Nouveau was considered old fashioned. The style used geometric forms often designed into bold patterns that created visual drama. Characteristic patterns were stepped designs and starbursts. Colors were bold and metallic finishes were often used. Below is a picture containing examples of characteristic Art Deco elements, one can see various designs of starburst and step-like features consisting of clean geometric forms.

The following picture is the top of the General Electric Building designed in 1931 by architects John Walter Cross and Eliot Cross. One can see the geometric elements that create patterns throughout. Even the faces of the characters near the horizontal center line of the picture are made up of geometric forms. Looking to the sides of the faces, the building has a step-like structure.

Art Deco is still considered an elegant and timeless design today. Pictured below is a modern room decorated in the style of Art Deco. Metallic finishes are used throughout the room along with geometric patterns such as those seen in the mirror. Increased use of mirrors is also a design characteristic of Art Deco.

Deconstructivism

Deconstructivism is a style that started in the postmodernism era in the 1980s. It challenged the characteristics of typical design, and what is considered form and order.

In challenging form and order, deconstructive architecture appears like controlled chaos, where the skeleton of the building seems distorted. There is often a surprising fragmentation of a design with unexpected twists and turns.

Below is an image of a geodesic dome home, a design with natural stability and which appears solid and sturdy. The images following is the deconstruction of a geodesic dome created by architects Kristopher Tejlgaard and Benny Jepsen in Denmark, 2012. One can see the fragmentation of the design, it has unexpected turns and to a degree may create a feeling of instability, a typical characteristic of deconstructivism.

ok so new goal list!

.) clean my room like just completely deep clean it inside and out particularly my closet which has been a tangled mess for far too long! and just organize things and make sure not to let a mess pile up

.) the ongoing never ending goal of trying to consistently wake up early... now that i dont have classes i really have to watch and manage this one cause i dont wanna slip even deeper into being a lazyhead -_-

.) not waste too much money from now on but also when i do make sure to like not lean too much into one particular area! like lately ive been buying games n stuff but i gotta balance it primarily between games and music but also pedals and dvds. i guess those are the four things i desire the most lol. -_- dvds and pedal less and dvds the least i think but ive been eyeing a lot of dvds lately like those nice jackie chan ones that have the cover art be faithful to the original while having english subtitles and the english name right next to the original. they also have some dvds like that of akira kurosawas movies i found sanjuro and yojimbo online like that too which is cool :) and w/ pedals i mainly wanna get the tremolo and phaser pedal cause theyd be great for me to mess around w/ :) but rn i think my next thing i wanna get is outrun on pc engine cause im worried the price’ll keep rising and ive never had outrun on a console that isnt handheld i rly only played it on 3ds lol which is like a perfect port but itd be nice to play smthn like outrun especially with the nice speakers hearing the music liek that.

.) go driving more! i need to get my permit but rly all i care abt is just being comfortable driving and like not relying on having someone giving me constant directions all the time.

.) practice music more and like for real! like i need to practice and not just mess around. like i need to write sstuff more consistently or atleast write stuff of higher quality and like get more skilled and comfortable w/ improvising. i think i have most fun on the bass even tho i play piano the most. and i rly need to spend more time on the crumar organ cause i love the sound of it but am not at all like comfortable improvising or messing around w/ it i have difficulty finding the write sounds on it and get all tangled up in the drawbars and what the nicest sound is to play chords n stuff. but i also wanna get a phaser and tremolo cause i think those could sound real nice on it i think. i also think tremolo would be great for the bass and am interested on what phaser would sound like w/ my playing style on it. also wanna get a wah wah cause thatd sound great on it if i practice but i think ill put that off again cause the other two pedals would be better since i can use them on multiple instruments for sure. ah also itd be great to dust off my old casio and use phaser and tremolo on it cause i already loved playing the casio cause i could get such dreamy sounds on it already and imagine w/ those two @_@ wow!

lately ive had my inspiration back for game development but tbh ive always been frustrated at my lack of finished projects and since i haven't worked on anything in a while and i'm frustrated with certain technical problems with my main project, i've decided to put that on the backburner and focus on a much smaller project for the time being.

as such, ive dug up an old project that i quite liked and that i've gained a bit of motivation for, and ive been polishing some stuff up and one thing i've decided to do is change its aesthetic to something better and actually consistent. you see, most of my projects in the past have had wildly inconsistent art styles, due to my lack of art skill leading me to just throw whatever art assets i could get my hands on. which looked awful, to say the least.

anyways so i've been playing around with applying a retro art style based on NES resolution and color limitations, which i figure will give me enough constraints to use what little art skills i have to their fullest potential. plus im on a retro kick rn i guess

ive applied the graphical changes ive made so far to this old room from the earlier version of the game. does this look okay?

Don’t mind me just find more random questions to answer to distract me until I’m tired enough to sleep.

How many times each morning do you press the snooze button? I don’t usually have to set alarms these days.

What time of day do you like to shower? Night

When you go out to eat, what sides do your order with your food? Usually no sides because I’m not rich and if I have to pick between a side and a dessert I will get dessert.

What do you spend more money than necessary on? I’m bad with money, toys probably, or clothes. I buy second hand, but I shouldn’t be buying anything that isn’t specifically planned in advance right now since I need to save to move.

What video game or computer game are you best at? I’m really bad at games, so maybe Sims 4 or something. I like games, I play them when I have the energy, I just really suck.

How do you normally come across new music? Spotify, sometimes my Fiance.

What do you keep your keys on? A turtle keyring.

Is your favorite color different than your favorite color to wear? Not really, I wear a lot of pastel colours, and they’re my favourites. Although I also wear neutrals and black if I’m doing a different look since my wardrobe is like 4-in-1 because I’m a million people at once.

Do you buy books or get them from the library? I used to read all the time, I’d go to the library and hire like 7 books and go through a book a day. Now I can’t concentrate so I just don’t read. I have several books in my posession that I need to read though if I ever get better.

What section of the food pyramid do you neglect the most? I say fuck the food pyramid.

Do you check PostSecret weekly? I have no idea what that even is.

What do you use your stovetop for most? Sitting things on. Or pasta. I made hokey-pokey the other month though to use up the last of the syrup someone bought.

Do you notice the impact of the economic recession? Yes, I saw so many posts on Gumtree of people having to give up their pets for financial reasons and it was really heart breaking.

Would you enjoy living somewhere where it's sunny all the time? Absolutely not. The sun gives me headaches and migraines.

What is it that you always seem to lose? My will to live xD Honestly though I lose like everything because I have to keep my entire life in a single room of my parents house rn.

Have you ever broken any bones? One, because I couldn’t handle the thought of going to work. I’m more prone to tendon damage.

What is your winter coat like? Which one? I have a mint green one which is waterproof and fluffy inside, I have a brown duffle coat one that flares out a bit, and I have a grey long coat. I also had to declare bankruptcy.

Do you keep dirty clothes in a hamper, or on the floor? Both, I have a system.

Which decade's music do you like best?: I can’t pick.

Can you focus on studying if there's music on? Yes, as well as I can really focus in general.

In what types of situations do you demand absolute silence? When I have a migraine or sensory overload.

Did you do well at fitness testing in grade school? NO. PE is the only class I failed.

If you had to choose a wardrobe to steal, who's would you pick? No, I have worked hard on mine to get it to the point its at.

If you had to pick one thing to bring back from the 90's, what would it be? Most of that stuff has already come back in one form or another, or never really gone away. Like you can get the toys second hand, furby has been rereleased like 3 times, clothes you can also still get second hand and the styles are pretty easy to copy anyway.

What about the 80's? Same as above.

Do you share any of your music taste with your parents? I share parts of my music taste with pretty much everyone, I have a really varied music taste, there isn’t a single genre I can say that I hate all of, there are ones I’m fairly unfamiliar with but I always loved music so I like a lot of it.

Could your parents tell when you would fake sick? I was sent in whether I was sick or not so there was no point in even trying. Only way I was allowed off was if I literally threw up in front of them which didn’t happen much, or the few occasions where my allergies gave me conjunctivitis.

Do you own more shoes or less shoes than the average person? More.

Do you still have anything from when you were a baby? I have a Quasimodo plushie that I had when I was like 3. My parents always threw everything away or gave it away so I don’t even really have baby pictures, except like one I got from my grandparents place when they died.

Are there any stores that send you e-mail newsletters? A couple, but that’s just from buying things in the past.

Do you think people overuse the word "random"? Now not so much, but back in the 00s and early 10s it was used a lot more.

How often do you floss? Never, my teeth are a bit overcrowded so I can’t fit the floss in without pain and bleeding.

Do you use hairspray much? Never, I used it for a couple of stage shows I was in when I was a lot younger and that was about it.

Who is your favorite painter? I don’t really have one because there are so many, if I’m picking out of just the really famous ones then either Monet or Van Gogh.

Are art museums interesting or boring to you? Interesting

What subject in school do you feel is the least necessary? PE needs significant changes to be at all worth the cost of running it. Once I hit my 20s I found out that there actually are some physical activities that I enjoy and missed out on. I think they should make it more free-form, if the concern really is health then surely letting people find and do the fitness tasks that work for them is better. If I’d been brought into a gym with actual gym equipment and they explained, okay, this does this, and this does this, try things out with a spotter and see what you like and what works for you, I’d have been much better of and have had some degree of physical fitness by now. They could also have offered option modules where instead of forcing everyone to do the same shit they let you pick, then I’d have been able to do yoga and dance and skipped out on the team sports they were pushing that literally lead to so much bullying and injuries because it’s about being competitive so they can send they sport inclined kids off to do competitions and win the school more money for the sports department and it’s a big nasty cycle of, damage some kids in favour of others, and lie to them all while making it compulsory for several years. Sorry this is a big ol’ sore spot with me because it is hugely indicative of many of the issues with many school systems in general, and while kidding on it’s for the youth, is actually just hurting them. FUCK.

When you were a kid, what games did you always play on the playground? I had like two modes, there was the days where people would play with me and we’d mash-up characters from the shows/movies we were watching (mostly charmed, totally spies, and xmen) and play as them in this whole made up world. Other days I’d walk around the tennis court trying to stay on the lines if it was empty or I’d just walk around the school daydreaming.

Do you enjoy power outages or do you get annoyed? I’m scared of the dark so I’m more afraid than annoyed. If I’m in the right situation it can be okay, but I never am because I don’t live with my Fiance and we can never afford candles.

Do you know how to use an ATM? Yes.

How about write a check? No.

Are you in to your heritage much? Sort of, not of my specific family, but Scotland’s cultural history and the like is interesting.

Are you pretty politically correct? I resent that term, it’s like the term “cancelled” where some brat decided to make it into something controversial to be nice, and considerate, and tactful, or to hold others accountable and expect them to hold themselves accountable. These are basic things you should be doing, do you need to use slurs? NO what are you losing by not using them? Nothing. What are you gaining by using them? Nothing. We gain nothing as a society by being intentionally offensive or winding folk up. You’re not thought provoking, we already came to the conclusion that certain things are shit, the next step isn’t to continue with your jokes, it’s to stop that shit and do the right thing to the best of your ability. FFS what does it cost people to just be nice? NOTHING.

What is one fashion trend you'll never understand? Some of the shoes the now are, lumpy and weird? Like they stick out in places I can’t imagine being practical. Also mullets.

What do you wear when you exercise? Ummmm depends what I was wearing immediately beforehand, if it’s fine then I just stick with that since I don’t do anything especially heavy-duty. If it’s not, I just grab some sort of top and shorts or leggings, whatever I put my hand on first honestly. A lot of the time I’m just wearing onesies with little monsters all over and they’ll do the job so I just stay in them.

What is usually the last thing you do before you go to bed? It varies, sometimes I put on some rain sounds or something. The only consistent thing is that I have to go to the loo whether I need to or not, that’s one of those things I assumed literally everyone did but it turns out they don’t and I just held onto the methods that were used to toilet train me as a bub xD If I’m alone I also have a system I have to use to check the doors are locked or I can’t sleep and have to get back up to check, but I don’t have the house to myself that often so...
