#make things

[scalpelfightclub]

Make things. Make things that you can share with your friends and those you care for. I made, in a fit of brewing madness, a burnt mead (not actually burnt, just caramelized honey) and gave a bottle to my friends as a housewarming gift. 9 years later, on a cold winter night while we all ate takeout, my friend produced the bottle with a flourish and a smile. We drank delicious, smooth, caramelized and sunshine-y mead and talked about how things have changed, how we had changed, and how we care for each other. Make things and share them with people you care about.

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom If you engage in creative arts but get stressed out in the middle of projects, remember that the middle is the worst part! Things are half-done so they look weird. Go ahead and finish it. You're going to be so happy when it's done. And then show me what you made! emojis: smile with three hearts, black heart, blue heart, masked 2:39 PM · Nov 10, 2023

Learn to make things that AI can’t do. Do not just "expect" for things to work, learn how the work.

I’m sitting around, watching videos of Alan Menken playing the songs he’s written, and it really does bring back memories of seeing a lot of the movies he composed for on the big screen as a little girl.

Specifically, The Little Mermaid.

You don’t know frustration, until you are seven years old, and none of the other girls in the car on the way home from Brownie Scouts can sing “Part of Your World” on key or on rhythm to the cassette tape. 

But it’s that movie that made me want to make things. I wanted to sing and draw and write things. I can’t draw by the way, I am awful at visual art. But I’m a great singer, and the writing goes pretty well most days.

I wouldn’t have this drive to make things without those movies and those songs. And we can talk all day long about the narrative and thematic problems in old Disney movies until we die. As adults, of course we can.

But there is something about that music and those movies that really grips onto little kids in a very big way.

And I really, really want the little kids who are going to go see the new live action Little Mermaid to walk out of that movie with that same eagerness to make stuff.

Whatever, don’t listen to me, I’m old.

Fine tuning this pose for Calico Jill. I had the idea yesterday to add suspenders to her character design, and I like them a lot.

I think over the next few sketches I want to get better at making the fabric look fabric-y and the hands look more anatomically correct. I also need to figure out what I want to do with the nose/mouth area. One of these days I’ll look into hat designs as well.

My goal is to keep redoing this sketch until the different elements to it are up to snuff.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

#'your moon is here' things that make me explode like a supernova #UGHHHHHHH what if i was perpetually in your orbit. influencing the tides. protecting you from asteroids. and slowly drifting further away. #then you stopped moving and i was only pulse to your dead heart. orbiting you. right where ive been left. and so you started turning again. #ria.txt #personal #space opera au #(<- not about what you think is about) #hiiii this is gaining traction so glad we're all going insane :D your moon is here is SO fucked up. so good. #xkcd #randall munroe #space #moon #anyways xkcd comics are so good. entertaining witty and informative. check em out!

I heard someone call barbie disappointingly heterosexual and I've never disagreed with anything more strongly in my life

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

#your brother is a vampire. he's sitting across the table from you chatting with your mother about her day #and he's dead and he's gone and he's never coming back. #he laughs the same and he talks the same but his arm is cold when he grabs you in a headlock and your dog won't be in the same room with hi #he'll still hang around watching TV with you and give you wedgies and make stupid jokes #but you can't tell him about the bullies at school anymore because this thing with your brother's face will just find them and kill them. #and not even stupid fucking Jason deserves what the monster in your dead brother's skin would do to him. #your brother is dead and lost and right there in arm's reach and gone forever with no hope of ever getting him back. #i'm sure there are corollaries to be written about like ghosts and zombies but this is the one i'm personally hung up on recently
