#literally have to drop everything for geck... #like I'm gonna have to wake up make some calls send some emails research more stuff #figure out how to clean the tank then clean the tank the best i can then rearrange the decor so its better suited to its needs #THEN figure out the food situation cause what the fuck is THIS #THEN make a list of everything we need which btw #is everything but the fucking gecko #and HOPEFULLY this health check I'm organising doesnt turn up some fatal deficiency caused problems #I'm willing to deal with solving the various health problems it undoubtedly has already #provided i can afford a vet bill longer than my current lifespan #but i do have to deal woth the anxiety of a fucking fatal problem until i can get the checks done... #and make do with what I have for now #WHICH IS A WHOLE LOT OF FABRIC PLASTIC LEAVES AND NOT A LOT ELSE #i swear if my little guy has a serious problem i will never and i mean NEVER forgive my sister for this. #and my niece is on thin ice but only because she's 12 #'i just cleaned out the tank' NO YOU DID NOT YOU FUCKING LIAR #GONNA NEED A FUCKING HAMMER AND CHISEL WITH THIS OH MY GOD #my mum paid for this by the way. #this is supposed to be a late birthday present since we agreed i was gonna get a gecko for it #but put it off until i was on my meds #now I'm on meds. my niece wanted rid of her crestie and i have never regretted wanting anything more in my fucking life #what the FUCK okay??? #AS IF I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STRESSES MAN YEAH SURE JUST DROP A HUNDY FOR ANIMAL NEGLECT FOR MY BIRTHDAY #OH WOW THANKS THAT'S MY FAVOURITE #god... I'm going to bed... #and for the record my tag ranting is still not the fucking tip of this iceberg. #i am Overwhelmed. this isn't what i signed up for. #the joy of a new pet has never been more absent #this feels like a rescue or fucking amateur geck a&e #give me strength man I'm dying over here i would choose tubehell over this are you kidding me #hhhhh going to sleep. need it real bad. hopefully it recents my brain and makes this easier cause fuck me...

finished my first 3d model / render. it is a tribute to my favorite discontinued meal. this was created alongside a tutorial by @illusionofmana who also created the base texture (which i heavily altered) for this project.

#creations #blender #blender 3d #artists on tumblr #low poly #gifs #the actual product itself didnt come in a cup it came in a plastic bag thing #but i didnt just want to reuse the texture provided in the tutorial so i made my own based on the one provided #でもラーメンに比べて、うどんは番美味しい食べ物です。 #and thats a hill i will die on #xiv.txt

can we take a moment to talk about the straight up hilarity of tf prime's setting

i gotta be honest i have no idea what the deal is with the vehicons. i dunno if they're canonically sentient or not but for all intents and purposes their only real role is cannon fodder, so they're basically like... megatron's little roombas. except instead of vacuuming they do crimes.

but ASIDE from that. guys. prime has such a small ass cast. and like they hype everything up so much and the stakes are supposedly so high. BUT THIS WAR IS LITERALLY JUST LIKE 10 GUYS. AT LEAST G1 HAD LIKE PLATOONS. BUT PRIME?? THERE'S NO ONE!! THEY'RE FIGHTING OVER A WHOLE PLANET WHEN THEY LITERALLY COULDN'T MAKE UP A SINGLE AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS!!

#and definitely absolutely it was the right call #i mean prime would not have worked with a big cast #but it's still ridiculous #kinda begs the question how many bots there were on cybertron to begin with #idk i mean they're super long lived so maybe there was only like a million of em #but imagine if all of earth got wiped out #and all that was left was like #you #that bitch susan from work #your healthcare provider #a 14 year old #a badass biker lady #a construction worker #a plastic surgeron #okay i started this with one bit in mind but now im just having fun naming prime characters #and they all fist fight #you get my point #maccadams #hbrambles #transformers #transformers prime #tfp #ALSO!!!!! CAN I JUST SAY #i had to look up the size of a platoon AND a football team to make this post #so maybt it's not a very good analogy... :(

got rejected from a library position I was super excited for, how's your Friday going?

#I just want a job where i can help people #I hate working for soulless capitalists #But i keep getting rejected from jobs that are like #Useful and good and not capitalist hell #No i don't care about soda sales i care that we create so much waste plastic #And don't actually provide anything useful to anyone

Yarn art for Dogust.

#dogust #border collie #border collies #fiber arts #yarn #it's on one of those plastic grid backings #like an oval place mat shape #artwoodelf #i think this dates back to my early teens but considering the materials i still think it's pretty decent #could maybe use a line of lighter color yarn to delineate the tail and the top of the folded hind leg #and maybe a bit more detail to the flowers #but i was probably working with a limited selection of yarn colors back then #i mean i did the border edge in orange #which would not have been my first choice if i had other colors on hand #but does provide a nice contrast i guess #i have no idea why i would ever have bought orange yarn in the first place unless it was for some halloween project #dogs #dog

r is so unintentionally babygirl-coded like that is my babygirl idc what anyone says like you Cannot see him in all his 6-foot-tall-grandpa-sweater-tea-drinking-werewolf glory and look me dead in the eyes and say that you don't want to dip him into a pot of melted chocolate like a strawberry or lather him onto some toast like honey .

he is my babygirl and i think if i was an animal in a zoo enclosure. like a tiger or an alligator or some type. of predator well i hope my allocated zookeepers would hang him by the waist from a tree branch for me to jump and snap at like a chunk of meat that they’re not only trying to feed me with but that they’re also trying to use as a source of enrichment/stimulation for me

#this is what you guys do when you send me the asks really. providing stimulation for my enclosure thank you so much 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 #in my head always he is either wearing a conical paper party hat complete with elastic chin string or a little silver plastic princess tiara #that is so important to me. the thing you have to understand i think is that he’s not a real boy #he’s maybe a Quentin Blake illustration. but I don’t know #anon #telegram #r

I have the sacred artifacts (single use plastic straws from 2008)

#everyone say congratulations to Canada for banning single use plastics #I'm sus about how they're going to continue providing single use plastics for disabled people who need them #like they say they will but this is the same government that rolled out maid. so. :|

I saw the ask game but I have other questions. How do you come up with plots for stories? do you plan the plot out in advanced or start with a general concept/direction for the story and go from there? what about an AU catches your interest enough to write a story? have you always been passionate about writing or was it something that developed over time/later?

how do you come up with plots for stories?

usually they just pop into my head!! I have notebooks stashed all over the house and in my bags so I can scribble down snippets of plot or dialogue that comes to me, and my notes app is filled with little blurbs and plot ideas! I refer to those little snippets if I can't think of anything to write, but usually I don't have a problem having the plot just....come to me lol

do you plan the plot out in advance or start with a general concept/direction for the story and go from there?

it depends!! for the shorter oneshots I post pretty often, I usually just start out with the basics: which characters are involved, what they do, where they go, etc. as I write, the rest of the story starts to flow!

for the bigger fics, though, like the Pacific Rim AU and the zombie apocalypse fic I'm working on now, I do plot more of it out! simply because they're all so long, with so many characters and moving parts that it'd be impossible to just write and follow the flow! I usually start out with the general idea of what I want to write, and a few key scenes for each character/relationship arc, and then I start connecting them all together to form a general timeline! most of the smaller bits in between the larger arcs are written on the spot, though. I don't have the patience or structure to plan out everything to the last detail lmao

what about an AU catches your interest enough to write a story?

it depends!! if it's something I already know very well/am already fixated on, like Pacific Rim or RWBY, all it takes is someone (or myself) going "what would happen if..." and my brain takes it away. for other AUs that don't have a specific connection to me (like the zombie apocalypse fic), if I have a specific ship/character in mind, I'll be interested enough for the initial Brainrot, and if more ideas pertaining to the AU come to me, I'll start planning, but if they don't, the AU just sorta,,,goes dormant in my head. it's still there, and if anyone happened to mention something relating to it I'll suddenly start having thoughts again, but it'll more than likely just. stay in my brain and continue to be rotated like a potato in the microwave

have you always been passionate about writing or has it developed over time?

yep! reading and writing have always been passions of mine! I was creating characters since I can remember, and putting them in situations since I knew what situations were. I've always known that I'd want to be a writer when I grew up!

how do playlists contribute to your writing?

the VIBES, man. I listen to them while I'm writing, and if I ever hit a wall and can't write any more, I can just listen to the playlist while I do other things, and that'll give me inspiration to write some more!

do you use the lyrics as inspiration, mood setting, or anything else?

mood setting, mostly! I start making playlists after I've already planned out most of the fic, so I choose songs that fit what I've already written or what I plan to write later. the lyrics reflect characters, situations, relationships, or sometimes just the General Vibe of the overall fic. I also sometimes include orchestral songs in the playlists, and those just convey vibes!

Dead ass just had someone ask me if pads expire 🧍‍♂️

I even asked if they meant if they needed to be changed after a certain period of time cause they seemed unsure of their wording

But no, they just reiterated “if they’re left in the packaging for a long time will they expire”

No explanation as to what led them to think this or be concerned of the possibility just “do pads expire”

#jordans bitching again #work woes #I’m not strong enough to have two grown cis women ask me this #especially to have them then provide no context #do they somehow not know synthetic fiber plastic and cotton not expire #im too neurodivergent for this i fucking swear

"food items that humans find useful"

So at my workplace, we fund a Food Is Free shelf. It's the basics: take what you need, give what you can - our town has a high level of poverty, there's a cost of living crisis, be the good you want to see in the world etc etc.

Today we had a guy knock on the door and ask if we had a plastic bag he could use to carry a few things - I said sure, got him a plastic bag, and he started packing up his 2 rolls of toilet paper, his 3 or 4 foodstuff items. He said he'd been to a funeral out of town (1500 kms away) and spent his paycheck on fuel - he was only broke till Friday, he said.

And I said, well I'm glad we could help, it's why we have the shelf. We want the community to use it.

And he said:

But people ABUSE it! I've seen people take heaps of stuff from it - and they don't even have kids or anything. And it's fair enough, some people are struggling until the next paycheck, but other people just ABUSE it. You need a sign that says TAKE ONE ITEM ONLY or something. I've taken something from here maybe twice, but I've seen people coming round every week! I've even put stuff on the shelf! Yeah, you need CAMERAS or something. People abuse it.

So here is a man who is actively utilising a public resource that we created to support our local community...And yet he is so brainwashed by capitalism into thinking that people don't deserve basic needs - if they're not working hard, or maybe they're struggling but they don't have it As Bad as others, or they're using a FREE RESOURCE more often than HE thinks is acceptable. He thinks that we should use security cameras to crack down on people "STEALING" from the Food is FREE shelf. Like he's more worthy, like he's a better person, because he doesn't need as much help as others might.

Sometimes, when something is free, people might abuse it. But isn't it better to offer the support to people who need it? To offer an opportunity for people to get back on their feet (even if they're only broke till Friday)? To provide help, no questions asked and no conditions needed?

So what if people abuse it - isn't it worth it if helps someone?

#capitalism can die in a hole #people are fundamentally good and all they need to do is the basic resources they need to survive #still cannot get over the fact that we need CAMERAS to stop people from *checks notes* using a food pantry for its intended purpose? #anticapitalism #solarpunk #mutual aid #community aid #community networks #food is free #food pantries

my apartment does not have lights on the ceiling (15 foot ceiling) (loft apartment). where there IS a light is on the wall. the wall next to the ladder. the ladder that goes to the loft. the loft that I was climbing down from when I fell off the ladder (goes to the loft) and kicked the light (on the wall by the ladder) with my foot (fell off the ladder (ladder to the loft)) broke the light (light on the WALL) while falling off the ladder (loft ladder (EXTREMELY non-accessible) (highly unsafe while drunk or tired)) and now the wall light is broken and there's plastic shards in my heel .

#thankfully i never use that light ever because it's on the WALL and provides the most absolute dogshit lighting on the planet #still sitting there with plastic shards in my heel :/ #injury tw

"Our packaging is eco friendly because it's paper/cardboard with just a thin layer of protective material"

That is multi layer material. And that is unrecyclable. You replaced polypropylene or polyethylene terephtalate, the two plastics that we know the best how to recycle with something unrecyclable.

Now it is probably a bit better regarding the raw material used, but you destroyed the life cycle of the material.

Congratulations.

That is called greenwashing.
