i'm SO down bad for durge/wyll where they both are each other's support through trying to be more than their patron's pet

#bat plays bg3 #wyll #durge #i uh may make a durge just for him bc #i have a LOT of feelings about durge who #was the WORST person ever #then after being lobotomized comes back trying to be the goodest boi #and falls in love with wyll and karlach bc ot3 #but durge who is a people pleaser #and trying to figure out if they're actually good or just trying to be what will keep wyll around #it's the former but #identity crisis is just so fun to think about #and then wyll who cannot see the worst in durge #even when it's laid out in front of him #and like durge very viciously going after mizora for him #and who often asks wyll abt his dad and how he wants that reunion to go #and when it happens just #quietly watching w hackles raised making sure it happens the way wyll wants it to #they're ulder's worst nightmare #bc even though they are the goodest they can still be VERY duplicitous #they would start petty squabbles and enjoy the drama with a little giggle #like that cult leader charisma would come in clutch dealing w high society #and i could see a good resist durge doing petty manipulative shit so those gatherings would be entertaining when they're necessary to atten #bc after coming back from the hells with karlach fixed #i imagine wyll and durge would visit ulder regularly between whatever heroic shit they're off doing with mama k

Parents get sooooooo mad when anyone even remotely implies that if we know it negatively impacts adults then it’s probably quite detrimental to the health and development of a young mind to stick an iPad in front of a child any time they show signs of Behaviors. “Are you calling me a bad parent?” Yeah. I am.

#‘if you don’t have kids then you don’t get to have parenting opinions!!’ #well—as a former child of parents—

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

#this is just me ranting sorry #im very tired and hungry #and i want to sleep but brain go brrrrr #well i used to be nice and smart and now im neither of those or however the song goes #pretty sure he was exaggerating cause looking back. it was good. but some of the wording was a lil wonky #adhd #actually adhd #executive dysfunction #actually neurodiverse #adhd paralysis #adult adhd #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #adhd hacks #academia #neurodivergent #adhd skill regression #confessions of a burnt out gifted kid #<< i guess #former gifted kid #burnt out gifted kid #gifted kid burnout #realizing i sound rly pretentious here sorry -- formal speech patterns i picked up as an autistic child and never put down again haha

guy who's stuck in a timeloop for so long he stops wanting to leave it. guy who started out trying to escape but slowly grew used to and became comforted by the familiarity of the repeating day. guy who is no longer who he was before the timeloop. guy who is offered a way out and violently refuses it because he can't leave, doesn't want to leave. guy who escapes the timeloop by chance or force or accident and doesn't know how to live anymore. guy who keeps going through motions that don't match the situation and keeps having conversations that aren't actually occurring. guy who panics every time he realizes he can't predict the next instant. guy who left the timeloop but still lives with it.

#the cryptid speaks #time loop #ik there's been talk of the trope '[x] never left the timeloop' but what about [x] who never Wanted to leave the timeloop #like astronauts who come back to earth and keep trying to let go of things midair #former timelooper who is still expecting to know your next sentence; to predict the next major event; to survive everything

Look at this cool new t-shirt I made for fans of Abraham Lincoln! I made it on my own time, with my own resources, and without any affiliation to existing public or private institutions concerned with history, education, hospitality, culture or retail. You can find it at my new Threadless shop or directly at bit.ly/imissabe

#abraham lincoln #abe lincoln #i miss abe #other important disclaimers include that this is about the assassinated former president of the united states of america #and not about the assassinated former prime minister of japan #i figured the top hat would make that clear but as long as im covering my own ass i should make sure to bring that up too #anyway the art is all original #and the phrase is not trademarked #and it is available in a wide variety of sizes #and on a wide variety of products

Presenting: King Sidon, his wife Queen Yona and his boyfriend Link.

Yona is very supportive of everything except Sidon forgetting his ceremony cues.

(I had an atrocious week and TotK has been coming in clutch for keeping me sane.)

#totk spoilers #loz totk #sidlink #link x sidon #totk yona #totk link #totk sidon #tears of the kingdom #I love Yona I adore her design oh my god #If I were to create a Zelda-sona it'd basically just be her with different clothes so I'm contractually obligated to love her #But Nintendo trying to give Sidon a case of the not-gays with her is hilarious #The man greets his fiancée like a coworker and then turns around to explode with adoration over Link in the same breath #This is either a Lavender Marriage or a case of 'every royal Zora finds Link irresistible'. I like both but prefer the former #Like. Yona meets Zelda once things are settled and gets all flustered and tongue tied #and neither Sidon or Link have any idea what's going on because they share 1 braincell #which is used exclusively for fighting really good #sharky art #zelda comic

What happened to your Society6 store? It seems like there's a lot less designs available than there used to be. I was hoping to get some tapestries but everything is gone...

Wow! This ask made me go check out my Society6 shop — and you’re right, it’s pretty much all gone! So, here’s the story on that for anyone who hasn’t heard:

Society6 decided that their outsized profit from artists wasn’t cutting it — they now require artists to pay a monthly subscription for the privilege of letting Society6 profit off of them, while foisting additional shipping fees onto the artist and reducing their payments on top of that. I had heard some months back that they were planning to switch to a subscription model, and it looks like since I didn’t pay up, they permanently deleted everything except 10 random pieces of art from my shop. They did this without notifying me at all (classy!) after years of making tens of thousands of dollars off of my work — but weirdly, this is kind of a relief for me?

My cut of Society6 sales were already a laugh even before the proposed changes (I make more money from someone dropping like $20 at my personal print shop than I do from someone buying $100+ of my stuff from Society6) but the tapestries and blankets were so cool and I loved how much people enjoyed them, so I kept my art available there. They've deleted nearly all of my work now, so I'll go finish the job and close out my account for good.

Anyway, it’s disappointing, but Society6 has chosen to suck profoundly at this point in time. Totally scummy treatment of the artists whose work is the foundation of their entire business model. I’m lucky enough to have a supportive audience and never relied on Society6, but I feel badly for artists whose livelihoods have been impacted by this. (If you’re one of those artists, know this: you deserve better compensation for your hard work than what S6 is giving you!)

OK, with all that said — I’m bringin’ tapestries back, baby! They can’t keep this cowboy off the range! Right now I’ve ordered samples from some different places to compare quality, and once I’ve settled on a manufacturer I‘ll be making them available at my print shop. I’ll post on my socials when I’ve sorted it out!

#jentalk #society6 #i mean it's now owned by a former Ticketmaster exec #shocker! hahaha #at least he's consistent about working in the 'extorting artists and their fans' field

the hollywood studios are the dumbest people alive bc now every american city with a large film/TV industry (LA, NYC, Atlanta, etc) are going to be overrun by grown up theatre kids (professional writers and actors) hanging out together in public for months on end with nothing to do but emulate newsies. whole american cities are about to look like the inside of a suburban dennys at 11 pm on a saturday after a high school musical closes. they have trapped millions of people in a hell of unimaginable proportions.

#wga strike #this is a joke the bad part is that they are not being paid a living wage #also i am a former theatre kid ok i can make the joke #sag strike #writers strike #original post

Have you drawn Vittorio before? I'd like to see what he looks like pls.

Vittorio's design has given me more trouble than I expected, I'm still not sure if I'm happy with his looks. He's Machete's trusted personal secretary, a small and modest but resourceful and resilient man. I think he's somewhere in his mid 20's.

#he's mixed breed with strong spitz influence #maybe some papillon type of lap dog in there as well #I'm not sure where he's from #former accountant #his uneasy personality and humble origins mirror Machete in a way #probably one of the reasons he ended up hiring him #Machete himself was his age when he was in a similar situation working as Pope's assistant #own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #Vittorio Tomassetti #Vaschete lore #fic Separation #fic A Voi
