#six months challenge

[ihaveadisorderortwo]

Six months to change my life. Starting today I want to change my life. I want to be more fit. I want to not get winded as easily. I want to feel better in my clothes. And feel better about myself.

I know that it will be hard and I will have setbacks, especially with my health issues, but I'm hoping that this will improve my health. So I'm ready.

fucking hate it when people who are hateful little bigots make posts that are completely irrelevant to the thing that they are hateful cunts about and those posts are actually really good but i know they want me personally actually dead and in the ground so i cant be like Yeah

#red rambles #terfs stop making posts forever challenge but also especially can you not do posts that make a perfectly salient point about like #people refusing to engage with languages that aren't their own bc i KNOW that's going to be an in-road to 'transgender is just an american #concept and theres no other cultures with more than two genders' (factually untrue) 'and thats why transphobia is the only #globally acceptable movement' (hateful bigoted trash nonsense) #but like americans refusing to even make the slightest attempt to understand anything in any language that isnt english drives me insane #Google translate is right there also if its six words long and four of those words are english loanwords or cognates i do expect you to jus #use your brain and get with it lmao. its not hard #i was talking about this with a friend like a month ago. how it drives me insane how some of the people around me just refuse to pick jack #anything up and get with it

BEFORE & AFTER COLOURING CHALLENGE 🎨

Tagged by @sophsun1 thank you, darling!

I often forget to save .psds of my work because...eh it takes too much time and interrupts my workflow, so usually I only save the first gif in a set to save the colourings in case I'm interrupted or occasionally if I have one clip that I want to split into two gifs, and even then I often forget.

Colouring is the thing I struggle with most (waves in colourblindness), so I don't actually know how much of a difference my colouring makes, though I tend to enhance those aquas and oranges cause blue's what I see best, and I just like orange.

I'm incredibly bad at tagging people, so tagging @astarionisms @edjerse @mulderscully if you feel like it, and then anyone else who sees this and wants to partake, consider yourself tagged.

#my gifs #colouring challenge #tag game #farscape #the x files #firefly #deus the dark sphere #the fall of the house of usher #I genuinely think that bad blood one is my best work #and I'm incredibly proud of the crichton one specifically because that weird pinky orange filter was a pain in the arse to colour #if I hadn't lost literally all of my gif folders from before six months ago I'd have included the farscape through the looking glass set #where I completely removed the blue filter from the scene #because that's maybe the colouring im most proud of just for the sheer effort it took

FUCK.

So I wrote an entire essay explaining this character but Tumblr was a bitch and erased it so now I have to start over (whatever I'm not mad I'm not mad I'm not mad)

Some of you will remember that a while ago (like in May-) I made something called a "character theme challenge", where I posted a character theme from their series ost and asked people to reconstruct the character based on the theme. I posted this in like. June. And then didn't write the post revealing it. Oopsies. But since it's the last day of the year I figured some closure is in order. (Better late than never, right?)

Here is the post in question.

The character this theme is for is:

Norman from The Promised Neverland!!

How do I begin to describe Norman? The 14 year old sacrificial lamb who carried himself to the altar. Something the main trio in The Promised Neverland has in common is their tendency to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their siblings, but what makes Norman stand out is that well. He's good at hiding it. He hides his emotions and pretends all is fine when in reality he's dying inside. As soon as he's away from earshot of the other characters he breaks down. Which can be heard in this song in the form of the calm, melancholy melody that slowly builds up and explodes with emotion. Its bittersweet, because while Norman himself believes he can't be saved, all he needs is one single lifeline to keep him going. He truly wants to live. The violin and piano also add a feeling of grace, which is perfect for his M.O. He does things with careful planning, always thinking five steps ahead and taking the safest route, which is a contrast to Emma and Ray who do things a bit more impulsively.

@demon-sterrr participated in this challenge, and they were able to identify the tragedy in the theme, as well as the underlying hope present. They also mentioned the song reminded them of water, and gave their character a lotus theme :3 (which although it doesn't have a lot to do with Norman, it is similar to his blue-white color palette, which is interesting):

This was closer to the character than the other character theme art trade I'd made, and I think that has to do with the fact 22194 uses more traditional instruments, so it's closer to what you'd expect.

Thanks again to demon-sterrr for participating in this!!! (I know I took ages to post this haha. But it really was super interesting!) And happy New Year, everyone!

#sorry again about this thing taking like six months to post lol #i kinda uhh #forgot about it #but yk what if people show enough interest maybe i'll do another one #but i think i prefer it as an art trade thing instead of an open challenge thing #its a bit less work yk #the promised neverland #tpn #tpn norman #norman tpn

April Wrap Up ✨

I have my iPad back, I can get back to books I really really really wanted to read, but I had a hard time picking up some books bc I was too focused on fanfics (I blame Ben Barnes). As always, spoiler alert just in case.

1. Circe - 5/5

LISTEN I AM A CHANGED WOMAN. I HAVE NEVER FELT THE FEELINGS I FELT IN THIS BOOK. My heart broke and restored at the same time, I was sadly happy, happily sad. Like... I felt my heart physically rip with the last chapter. Madeline Miller is already the owner of my wallet, I will pre-order everything she writes and I will cry when the time is right. I think I liked this more than The Song of Achilles...

2. As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow - 5/5

I was halfway through the book and I cried 4 times... FOUR TIMES AND THE BOOK WASN'T OVER. The plottwist made it a 5 star immediately. I remember thinking "this better not happen" and BAM! my world changed. The romance was just so innocent and beautiful, and then you had the most terrible things happen 2 lines later and you came back to reality. It makes you think of the world and what really matters. And the book is so hopeful. I love it.

3. The Six Deaths of the Saint - 4/5

The only reason it is not a 5 star is because I NEEDED MORE. Bro this was so beautifully written. I usually can't stand 2nd person POVs, but in this book it had a purpose that left me SHOOK. The way the violence and war was written here was beautiful. I need more.

4. The Year of the Witching - 4/5

A friend told me to read it. I loved it. I was shooketh by it, and I want more. Bring Lilith to ANY book and I will read it. Ezra is literally the bestest man I have ever read?? Let me marry him?? I was kind of expecting a non-happy ending, but then we wouldn't have a sequel. ALSO *spoiler* I would have let everyone die and join the witches with the condition that Ezra stayed alive.

5. The Midnight Library - 3.5/5

Ngl, I read this because of BTS, but last time I did that I found one of my favourite books so I had to read it. It made me understand the song Zero O'clock better. As for the book itself, it has an interesting concept, but it made me have mini existential crisis? Which I didn't like?? It did feel like a help book but I was not the target audience for it, it was good, but it is not the way I see life.

If you're thinking about writing a post about sexual assault as it relates to the characters in your favorite piece of media and you don't have that expertise, can I suggest:

✨ shutting the fuck up✨

Now with the added benefit of NOT harming ACTUAL people to prop up your favorite character!

#every six months #I have to say this every six months #if it's not: Rhys asked for it #its: Gwyn is too fragile #or my personal fave: men love when hot women come on to them so Lucien wasn't assaulted by ianthe #YOU HURT REAL PEOPLE WITH YOUR BRAIN DEAD TAKES SHUT THR FUCK UP #Acotar read another book challenge
