can anybody help us out with food for a few days while we’re waiting for a rental/police report? we’ve been in a tight spot for over a week now, our fridge is acting up again, and we have no idea when this will get sorted out. I’m willing to do cheap sketch commissions, but fair warning, my tablet is acting up

anything helps, even just reblogging.

my PayPal, my Venmo

if you’re interested in commissions, please dm me on this blog or @cherimp3, thank you so much for reading

EDIT: someone let me know that my cashapp link is broken, and no matter what I do I can’t fix it so imma take it off the post jic

#pls don’t tag this #we r still job hunting but so far things have been what’s the word #not good. Chevys applied to a few places and I’ve been looking for places that could accommodate my disabilities but like #it’s not going well #I’m still working on the brush pack btw!! i just don’t want to accidentally make brushes with textures that aren’t editable/someone’s else’s #entirely #someone mentioned a patreon but I don’t have much to put on that yknow #and I’d rather never paywall my art if I don’t have to

we can fix volo but i don’t want us to

#redemption arc? mmmm only if it’s super interesting i guess #i would like his character to be explored more deeply but idk i’d rather have him nosedive even further into insanity #not even necessarily becoming more evil i just need to see him become a complete and utter mess of a human being #have something unnatural happen to him have him babble too much have him lose whatever final shreds of hope sanity or a decent life he had #he has very little going for him and i want to see him lose that too #also please tell us exactly what happened in his past to make him this way in the first place. it’s a necessity #we deserve the official volo backstory at this point so i don’t have to keep speculating #pokémon #legends arceus

If you’re so disillusioned with who Taylor is as a person and believes she’s changed for the worse, why are you still here as a fan? If you believe her “activism” isn’t up to your standards, are tired of her not using her platform, see her as an uncaring and callous billionaire, why are you still here and engaging in fan spaces if you’re no longer enjoying her and her work? Just disengaging completely if that’s the case; find something or someone else to pour your time and energy into.

#taylor swift #I’m sorry but Taylor isn’t an activist or politician follow the people who actually do that stuff if you’re looking for it #Taylor is a singer-songwriter she did not get into music to get into politics stop expecting that from her #like it’s not that hard to disengage if you truly believe she’s a bad person and isn’t the same person she was 5-10 years ago #don’t put expectations on people and place them on a pedestal because they’re never going to meet exactly what you want #it’s funny because people outside of the fandom view her ‘activism’ calls to voting as huge and doing enough #we’re the only ones harping on her to do more #if something isn’t bringing you enjoyment stop doing it #my friend and I were talking about Stan culture and stuff and agreed that people want celebs to speak out on issues is so they can feel… #morally good in supporting them and know that their values align and that they’re not problematic or whatever and that’s not a great… #mentality to have. like if people are only speaking out for the sake of optics it’s not genuine and doesn’t contribute to anything really #I’d rather celebs speak out about issues they have experience with and not regurgitating things to look good that they have no knowledge of

16 year old who's getting married back to report some relevant info about my situation 1 we're both 16 2 we both come from broken/abusive homes 3 I am partially crippled and mentally unstable and she is my care taker

see you on a true crime video in 3 to 5 years homie

#this is not going to end well #anon #look I don’t want to sound rude but like #you are not in a position to get married at your age and as fucked up as you are #also kinda uncomfortable with being sent this kind of thing in the first place #I am not trying to find out or get invested in your life so I’d rather you just not send me these kinds of anons

yknow I wasnt feeling like finishing my flower husbands essay (I feel less of a push to now that I dont technically Have To meticulously prove/justify my stance— people do just. agree with me now! which is insane) but I’m starting to think maybe it’s still needed actually

#I’m cautious because it was always a passion project rather than one of spite. I dont want to resume it out of spite #But on review of both my tag and recent fandom discussion of toxic fh portrayals… #having it all laid out in one place seems preferable to the sporadic posts in my tag. #I’d just need to adjust the hypothetical audience I am writing for a bit from ‘guy who knows about fh and is open to other interpretations’ #to ‘guy who doesnt know about fh’ #However a lot of joy I personally get from fh comes from my own somewhat fanon interpretation of it #(aka I like to imagine they‘re slightly more ‘’‘in love’’’ than they actually are shown to be. surprisingly) #actually. the canon speaks for itself in what scott does in the absence of it. I think I just need to refocus….. #…hey guys. do we think two essays with different focuses within the same document is a good or rational idea ? #bree barks so fucking loud

“Next time we meet, we might be enemies” “But for now, we’re friends” Inaki’s delivery hitting my heart strings

Ok no but the way Luffy’s face drops the moment he hears Koby say he’s not coming, and then a little smile appears on his face like he’s disappointed his new friend is leaving so soon but he kinda knew this would happen as well so he turns and only asks if he’s sure.

#other than the fact that Inaki always looks like he’s thinking and listening rather than Luffy’s head empty no thoughts look #which is difficult to embody in the first place #I’d say his portrayal is pretty good #I’m enjoying it so far #one piece live action #it’s campy and kinda doofy but I can feel h the heart and sincerity in the acting and the sets #one piece #spoilers #manga #anime

ATTENTION FRIENDS, FOLLOWERS, AND FELLOW REDACTED FANS!!

If you would be interested in having an OC brought to life in handmade plushie form, keep on reading

I did a LOT of debating about bringing this here, I kinda didn’t want these streams to cross at first, but I’ve decided it’s probably actually a good idea.

So. A few years ago I posted a tiktok to promote commissions I wanted to start doing, it went SUPER viral, 2 million views, and I had ~40k followers there. I got a ton of commission requests. An OVERWHELMING amount of commission requests.

I barely knew what I was getting into and after a couple years, the way I was doing things made me miserable. I haven’t posted to tiktok in well over 6 months (bc I hate it), and stopped doing commissions back in October. BUT. I want (and tbh need, things are rough for us rn) to get back to doing them. In a way that makes me far less miserable.

So I’m in the process of revamping a lot of stuff on my end, and want to offer to a smaller, more controlled group than the hoards of tiktokers, before I go back there.

SO.

I built my whole thing on making people’s D&D characters into plushies. But I can do any OC. I figured a lot of people in this fandom have specific OC listeners or even designs for canon characters, and that might be something people want.

Some examples, the first three are all my own characters, the last two I did for a friend.

I have lots of other examples if you’re interested I can give you more.

This is mostly just to gage interest for now, if there’s enough I can post full details. But my baseline price is $100 for the most basic, and increases with complexity from there.

If you’re interested let me know! And feel free the reblog but PLEASE I beg do not let this breach containment, I can’t do this again lol.

#marisa speaks #marisa sews too surprise #like I said just gauging interest rn #bc I’d MUCH rather get back into the swing of things with brand new systems in place HERE #than plunge right back into the lions den that is tiktok #grateful for it. I wouldn’t have been successful if it wasn’t for tiktok #but jesus christ #I’m not putting this in the fandom tag bc I’m terrified of it spreading too far lol

Also it looks like I’ll be taking ex-coworker out for pho this weekend, she’s never had it before :V if I’m being evil and strategic, I won’t tell her that it’s a cash only place so I can pay her back for the burger. but I suppose the fair thing to do is give her autonomy and fight over the bill on equal terms rather than having an unfair advantage.

#my ramblings #tbh it’s been pretty easy to cut takeout out of my spending habits #because I kind of hate ordering delivery #the food prices are jacked up AND you have to pay and tip the driver AND the food isn’t as fresh #I’d rather eat at a restaurant as a treat or eat with friends if it comes down to it #and also food is so expensive in the usa #I used to think a reasonable amount to spend on lunch was 10-15 and a reasonable price for dinner was 20-25 #nowadays the prices aren’t that… #any time I see the price of a cucumber roll I wince #that guy used to be $4 tops what do you mean it’s being sold for $5-6 #also also I never trust delivery from a restaurant I haven’t been to #in fact I barely trust delivery from a restaurant I *HAVE* been to #there’s a place that only does hash browns for the breakfast menu #like grated potato hash browns #I love when the potatoes are grated. I hate grating potatoes for hash browns but it tastes so good. #ANYWAY I paid the STUPID upcharged price for delivery #and it came COLD #so fucking mad. I’ll never order delivery from that place again. #I’ll go to eat tho I haven’t been there in a while #it’s a little fancy. not like folded napkin fancy but farm to table fancy. #eating out at a restaurant last weekend was like ‘yeah I do enjoy this :) especially going to restaurants I enjoy :)’

I gotta be honest, I’m not a big fan on the idea of “the turtle’s long lost sister”. Never consumed any tmnt media where the trope was shown and it always felt off since this sibling bond that the brothers have is one of my favorite aspects of the franchise, especially in Rottmnt. But I have a feeling that the rottmnt writing staff would’ve sold that idea to me incredibly fast.

That’s how much I trust these people to have a good written story. That’s what rise is about, mixing up the formula and doing it right.

#I’m not big on the idea of a lost sibling in general #maybe I’ll take it if the character was believed to be an only child but again im very picky about this trope #somebody also mentioned ducktales 17 May and June effect #they were an unnecessary twist so maybe the aftertaste is still there #but the way the sister character was carefully placed at the begging of season 2 #like wow the crew really knew what they were doing #I’d rather prefer if the main related family stays splinter Draxum and the boys #but if the writers still want to take that route I’m not judging the story I haven’t seen yet #rottmnt #rottmnt movie #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt movie #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles the movie #tmnt #rottmnt spoilers #save rise of the tmnt #save rottmnt #venus de milo #tmnt jennika

People on twitter acting like Shoma is gonna chuck Sota off the plane to worlds because he said the JSF’s selection criteria is bullshit are very ridiculous like it’s really not deep and their “criteria” has always been questionable and hypocritical.

#I’d rather people be like oh I don’t like him thus I don’t like that he’s saying it #cause if it was anyone else people would not be acting this mentally ill #as if we all weren’t gonna burn the jsf down for leaving mai off the worlds team last year #having someone who placed second at nationals as a second ALTERNATE for worlds is disrespectful #their highest scorer on the junior men’s gp not even selected for junior worlds as well??? #kao going to junior worlds after competing senior all season like girl #they just be doing whatever #but anyways #go outside and smell fresh grass #it’s Boxing Day go see your FAMILY #figure skating #jsf #shoma uno #japanese nationals 2022

me offhandedly telling a friend that i’d really like to get a few of the saw dvds from cex to add to my dvd collection but being unable to due to complications with being a minor who can’t by 18s alone, to which she responded “yeah but is it really a matter of life or death??” while i sat mouth agape gawking at the audacity she had to say such a thing.

#i beg your absolute fucking pardon have ASD of damn right course its a matter of life or death?? #hey it matters to me ! #i dont fancy supporting big capitalist streaming services by giving them hard earned pound sterlings to view a measly selection of movies #i’d rather buy second hand dvds #because a) theyre so much cheaper and b) dvds are just cooler #like yeeeahh pirating is easy but wheres the authenticity?? #its good when you want to check out a new movie or just slap on something silly #but if your watching a movie you truly love you want to honour it properly (with a flimsy disk with some pictures burnt into it) #yeah but some dvds have cool start up menus and extra content #i want a dvd room when i get my own proper place #its one of the few things keeping me goinf #anyway !! #saw #sawposting #saw 2004 #adam stanheight #i just want adam stanheight on dvd who the fuck am i actually kidding

do i post my long explanation of empathy vs sympathy re: roman tonight or is that just excessive

#like warning it is Long. will cut it down some bc i wrote it in a mad frenzy at 3 am in my notes app last night but still #tl;dr: roman is intensely empathetic and entirely devoid of sympathy. the seemingly contradictory displays of compassion vs disregard/ #cruelty are not contradictory at all and make complete sense if you understand the actual definitions of empathy and sympathy. i’d argue #that while rome’s capacity for empathy stands out in a show a #of people who are not prone to empathy his complete and total void of sympathy is much more unique in terms of humanity at large. it’s just #a show filled w cruel people so it’s less noticeable that the forms of cruelty he displays are rooted in empathy/lack of sympathy rather #than sympathy/lack of empathy like kendall and shiv (and just most people more generally) #sympathy is predicated upon difference distance and logical dissection of emotion while empathy is rooted in identification intimacy and #visceral experiences of emotion #you guys just literally do not know what these words mean. but that’s fine ! most people do not ! they are frequently confused and conflated #! that just doesn’t mean they SHOULD be. so . maybe i can help w that #also for further reading edmund burke is an absolutely fascinating figure to read esp his writings on british imperialism #although the term he uses is sympathy mehta & other later thinkers who have talked ab him have concluded that his cosmopolitanism of #sentiments/sympathy is much more like the modern definition of empathy (the words have shifted meaning slightly over the course of history) #or rather that the sentiment is empathy but the push to action is sympathy and combining together u get the cosmo. of sentiments #but basically burke is the founder of modern conservative thought basically. he is also the only british thinker who at the time of british #occupation of india actually spoke out against imperialism. this is because he viewed others not from a lens of sympathy/pity (feeling bad #for their plight) but empathy (identifying with their circumstances and placing himself within them) #love burke bc i find it so fascinating how someone i disagree with so frequently also holds a mindset that i value greatly and is anti- #imperialism despite everything else about him #kind of like rome in that sense. except rome’s sense of empathy is slightly broken because a) he doesn’t have any sympathy to supplement it #with and b) his visceral/emotion/gut instinct leading way of viewing the world + the way obscene wealth makes the rest of reality feel #fungible = inability to feel anything towards that which he does not identify #and unlike burke rome is too skewed by wealth and his upbringing to see resemblance in the masses and empathize w them #the other sibs function using sympathy and feel bad for the poor without having to relate to or understand them #but roman doesn’t do sympathy. he doesn’t feel FOR people he feels what people are feeling instead #but only so long as they’re seen as people. sympathy requires hierarchy so not viewing others as ppl v much allows for sympathy. #empathy requires some level of perceived horizontality so rome cannot empathize w that which is not horizontal to him #me: should i post this long thing? also me: posts another long thing in the tags that’s a long short summary of the much longer actual post #anyways. ahem. back to work
