A few silly little small sculptures that I made with some of the leftover clay from the main one I did recently

#sculpture #birds #neopets #sparkly little aishas my beloved..... #Though I actually kind of liked them with a matte finish more?? I wanted to try out making them sparkly and shiny..but #I think they might have looked better before adding all the shine. BUT I kind of like both. Maybe I should make two more that aren't shiny #just to have variation lol... an entire army of tiny aishas..... #The little house is so bad lol I hada headache at that point and kind of just wanted to get everything over with #(I bake the clay all at once so I had to get the smaller ones done to go with the main one) #and was like.. zero effort into making things line up or measuring at all. one window on one side is like twice as big as on the other lol #but I think from afar ifnot examined too closely it's still kind of cute. The birds were also just random like 'what can I shape out of thi #s small blob of clay I have leftover' etc. I did actually put irridescent eyeshaow on the pigeon but it just doesnt show up in photos ToT #The other bird is not anything in specific... some sort of random fantasy creature bird with slight purple on it's wings or something #The strawberry is exclusively just a quickly done accessory for the birds.. I wanted them to have a little meal to share #even though I dont know if birds eat strawberries #the last picture in the set is them all sitting on a shelf (the most well lit place I could find) but looks weird #since it has all of my avocado pit eyes in the background......... ominous backdrop for such peaceful little creachures.. #you kind of cant tell what they are from that angle though i guess lol

a little illustration for the «Captain Walton listens Frankenstein's story» scene

#me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic #(works for both of them tbh) #oh no it's scurvy time for Victor :(( #poor baby in the arctic #in fact i would like to try to draw more illustrations #i want to draw the same one but in a mirrored form with Clerval nursing Victor (you know the *parallels* and all that stuff) #have no idea how to draw ship cabin so it looks very random lmao #and OH PLEASE open the pic for better quality #frankenstein #victor frankenstein #robert walton #frankenstein fanart #gothic lit art #gothic literature

KHSFYITESFJKHKSD ok i DO understand the point being made and how the immutability of comics canon events seems to depend largely on how much a reader liked a given plot more than anything else, but Jason is like the WORST example you could use. Yes! The fans did literally kill him it was put to PUBLIC VOTE! Writing always involves the creation of conflict but Jim Starlin did NOT make that call unilaterally the crowbar IS in the reader's hand (or at least the voter's). Especially as modern comics increasingly lean on the 4th wall and include metatext as a plot point, YES there is ABSOLUTELY a reading where the writer and audience are as much "characters" as the city of Gotham itself even if we never show on-panel.

#literally superboy prime and gwenpool personify the principle you can't pretend no one reads that way unless you yoink the pen out of THEIR #author's hands!! the conversation passed you 20 years ago dude it's industry standard now better or worse #songs that the hyades shall sing #didn't reply on twt I'm not actually trying to Argue with slott especially as an unpublished nobody but. yeah dude! #man vs author comes free w man vs god & man vs self its english lit 101 #ok actually i *might* just reply with some english lit printout defining man vs author

the fact that steve harrington has such a fancy house but then just. doesn't have a porch gets me every time

#fun fact: right as i finished writing this post i thought someone was trying to open my front door #which was momentarily terrifying until i realised that was NOT happening #and then once i'd gotten over the initial 'oh fuck' reaction #i transitioned easily into sending my cousin a scathing review of the imaginary home invader #''now that the fear's gone im judging whoever this imaginary person was because who comes out all the way out here #to a house that's lit up like a fucking spaceship at fucking 8 oclock at night- so clearly SOMEONES HOME #and then they just go straight for the front door handle? like babe get better at your job.'' #''not only that but they didn't even commit- they tried the fucking handle once and then was like 'welp i give up' like ?? #if you're gonna end up all the way out here you gotta see it through you gotta try harder than one measly attempt at the door handle.'' #anyway yeah why the fuck don't the harringtons have a porch it's so funny to me #steve harrington #captain speaks

there is no real meaningful distinction between Art and Craft, however i personally can only do the type of Art that is also extremely Craft. i need to make physical things with my hands and use tools and manipulate little objects and hoard all the specialized knives. otherwise i will start biting.

#this is not remotely a value judgment; #digital art is SO cool and i really admire people who can do it #but whenever i try it is like. viscerally uncomfortable for me. #i feel unmoored #i need Things #the more physical the process the better #so the papercraft is Extremely good enrichment for scribes #drawing with physical media is kind of fun #painting and calligraphy are better #but things that involve construction or assembly are where it's REALLY at #especially if it's somewhat modular or repetitive #printmaking. papercraft. hand-sewing. book arts. #just give me your most fiddly and tedious craft projects #i miss typesetting. typesetting was lit. #thinking about this obviously because i had the most wonderful time gluing all those tiny paper fragments down #this is probably the neurodivergency.

I was writing a poem about love at school and a friend of mine saw me and decided to help me out. I am very satisfied with how it turned out and it is my favorite poem so far

(he didn't know the poem was about love btw, he just saw some of my lines completely out of context and just rolled with it)

#we were trying to out-absurd each other #I was like: bagels are better than donuts because it has a middle #and he was like: valid argument- unfortunately- SEAGUL #my post #sput chatters #my writing #charlie poems :) #i want my poem book to get famous in the future for the sole reason of archeologist finding this doozy of a poem #and future english lit student ripping their hair out trying to figure it out #i love my friends

Everyone stop what you're doing and go read KJ Charles. She is a master class in queer historical fiction and writing diversity authentically.

#kj charles #society of gentlemen #julius norreys is a goddamn delight #he could be the protagonist of an entire series #lord gabriel ashleigh you sweet good-hearted dumb golden retriever of a man i would die for you #i haven't read 'a gentleman's position' yet and maybe it'll change my mind #but for now I want to shove my foot up richard vane's ass and punt him into the sun #tiresome hypocrite #sorry alexis hall you've been entirely eclipsed #well no. alexis hall does romance as well as kj charles does regency politics #hall is great as long as he doesn't try to do historical fiction #a lady for a duke was so painful #kj charles did better regency trans rep with a side character than hall did with a protagonist #REAL QUEER LIT IS RADICAL LEFTIST AND POLITICAL #alexis usually keeps the politics on an interpersonal level at least #and knows to discards them entirely when he's writing escapism so that you DON'T end up with a casey mcquiston white liberal mess #but kj charles is the first time ive encountered political regency romance which makes so much sense because #inclusion and representation is inherently political #anyway im gonna reread this just to revisit some golden lines #''they weren’t going to succeed because there was maybe five of them could catch clap in a brothel without instructions.'' 😂😂😂 #knee of huss #queer fiction #historical fiction #regency romance #lgbtqia

Man I can't wait to have the drive to do things again.

#teruyo talk #my writing brain's 100% broken to the point where i've stopped trying for now #it'll come back (it had better) but waiting for it is BORING #at least i'm finally catching up on some media #drag race uk s5 is pretty lit

crying laughing @ this edition of le fantôme de l'opéra that my dad got me for christmas it's just. i don't know how to describe it. every page is a scan of a page of the 1926 edition, with like 1-2 inches of margin around it??? and the letters are so small and the scan is not of very great quality so it's kind of hard to see the words?? interspersed with scans of pictures but some of them are upside down??? there's one page where the scan didn't really work in the upper left corner so it's just totally black???

the back of the book says

Le présent ouvrage s'inscrit dans une politique de conservation patrimoniale des ouvrages de la littérature Française mise en place avec la BNF. HACHETTE LIVRE et la BNF proposent ainsi un catalogue de titres indisponibles, la BNF ayant numérisé ces œuvres et HACHETTE LIVRE les imprimant à la demande.

(my rough translation: This publication is in line with a policy instituted in conjunction with the BNF (National Library of France) for the conservation of important works of French literature. In service of this goal, Hachette Livre and the BNF are offering a catalogue of unavailable titles digitized by the BNF which Hachette Livre will print upon request.)

so like this is on purpose but i have so many questions. first of all why the margins. okay i guess that is my most important question. why not just make the book correspond to the size of the pages in the original? or, if the size of the book is fixed, you could at least size up the images to use as much of that wasted space as possible, no?

i want to say how ridiculous this is and how there's no market for it but there clearly is one because i asked my dad to get it for me! i'm the market!! i told him to buy this edition because it was the only french-language print edition i could find to buy in the us for less than $50 (outside of amazon because fuck amazon). but like, why is that the case? the full text of this book, in plain text which could easily and legibly be printed, is available for free on the internet. why isn't there some publisher who's just printing that out and binding it? seems easier to do than printing scans. not to mention a lot easier to read!!

(to see what i'm talking about, go to the hachette BNF webpage for this book and click on feuilleter to download a sample of the pages in PDF)

#is there like. some copyright reason??? i'm really baffled by this #i get needing to scan the pictures but the text??? #even if you wanted to preserve the page numbers and so forth i'm sure you could make that happen... #just print it in the same font with the same page size as the original. right??? i feel like i'm losing my mind here #it's just. this is an extremely famous work of literature and a manipulable printable plain text version is available for free #on the internet. why is no one printing that??? or why is everyone charging so much money for it??? #books #french #my posts #oftentimes when i'm trying to order a work of classic french lit from my local bookstore #the hachette bnf version comes up in the search results. and sometimes it's the only version that does #i've always avoided buying one though because i could tell there was something off about them. the covers look very... #idk. unprofessional? not unprofessional but clearly they are not important. no one is trying to make them appealing #so i was like. not at all confident that they would be any good. but i finally decided to get one because there were no other options #and lo and behold i open it up. and it's this. i guess i was right to judge this book by its cover #gonna try to read this now because i certainly won't be able to read it when i'm old and my near eyesight is bad lol #my near eyesight is already getting worse so i better get cracking

i should have known today was going to be f*cked up when i checked the Shinee tag before going to bed early this morning and saw that the unofficial sign merch for the fans going to the Japan tour with all five members had been pulled and replaced with official merch from SM that only had the three that are currently active. that should have been a sign from God that some f*ckass sh*t was about to go down the vibes were off

#shinee #minho #choi minho #taemin #lee taemin #key #kibum #kim kibum #i said i wasn't going to talk about this but ykw i have to talk about it. i am weirdly detached and i am grateful that i ate before i #saw that sh*t but i'm going to talk about it bc the more i think about it the more pissed i am #look. i'm at most maybe two or three shades darker than Minho. i have heard these kinds of comments from 'friends' in the past #and i'm not going to pretend that it didn't hurt bc it did. it did and you can see that it hurt him too bc he had to laugh it off and Kibum #and Taemin are two grown ass f*cking men who should know better. and as much as i love them i am thankful that their asses #are getting lit up on social media and people are talking about this bc it's 2023. you don't f*cking say that to your friend #this is the same sh*t they did to Haechan. we literally just had a reporter criticize Taecyeon's skintone at one of the press conferences #for Heartbeat a couple months ago asking if he didn't think he was too dark for the role there is still the trend of lightening #idols' photos in official merch and ones taken at fan events WE ARE STILL DOING THIS KIND OF SH*T #whatever internalized issues with colorism Taemin and Kibum have they need to sort it out. go see a therapist idk something #but don't take that sh*t out on someone so close to you you consider them family. don't do that #Jjong is looking down from his satellite disc trying to beat their asses and God is holding him back again by his collar #but just barely. the satellite beams are so the rest of the fandom can get signal to do their work and call out the bullsh*t #going to spend the rest of the day reblogging Minho sets listening to Heartbreak in between Mirotic streaming #and trying to watch the rest of SOTB. that's all i can do atp

Me with Victor Frankenstein 🤝 me with Light Yagami

*clenches fists* It's not about the god complex Oh my god. God complex is only useful in a Christian ish interpretation. But these characters care little about religion so "defying it" isn't their main motivation and shouldn't be what we use to describe their ambitions most of the time. Hannibal Lecter is more obsessed with god than these guys. There are other ways to describe ambition/wanting power. The issue isn't that they were trying to defy nature or whatever, the issue is that they didn't take responsibility for their actions/had a flawed ideology and literally killed people. Like I understand that it's tempting to say "haha this bitch crazy he literally thought he was gonna become god lmao what a freak" but that's not very accurate and extremely surface level. It was also exadurated in adaptions in both cases

#when I mean exadurated in a adaptions I mean the increased Christian symbolism in the dn anime when the characters are literally japanese #+kami isn't tge same thing as god etc #funny how people describe the guy who wanted to advance science and prove that he discovered the secret of life by creating a better human #and the guy who killed thousands of people to try creating a world without crume #the SAME way #death note #dn #light yagami #frankenstein #frankenstein or the modern prometheus #gothic lit #gothic literature #death note manga #death note analysis #death note meta #victor frankenstein #frankenstein analysis #the modern prometheus #frankenstein by mary shelley #mary shelley

AND YALL MY HAIR IS GROWING BACK!!!!! #i don’t just have lit tufts of baby fuzz where my hairline used to be #my hairline is SOLID NOW #and getting thicker everyday!!!! WOOOOOOO #also my we***t was stagnant for a while esp bc i was having a rough go with recovery but it finally went up #i am forcing myself to feel good about that!!!! bc truthfully if it stayed the same or went down; i would not be making progress #and i would either need to redo the week or reconsider treatment options #so i’m glad i don’t have to do that !!!!! #trying to remind myself that yeah i’m getting the we***t back #but i’m also getting my life back too #AND MY HAIR!!!!!! #very excited abt my hair

I made a really good gochujang garlic sauce from scratch to fry up the leftover ribeye in and nothing can touch me for the rest of the day hubris has for the moment conquered

#i just really love east asian flavor palettes but never had the opportunity to learn to cook them properly. my family never did etc #so ive been spending a lit of time trying to learn from friends and people online who are sharing their family recipes #or things they grew up eating and such thats easy to start with yk the basics to learn the flavor balances #im getting better at the ratios of soy sauce/gochujang/garlic/fish sauch/misc seasonings when i make noodles or eggs #this was the first yime doing it with leftover beef tho so im very pleased
