#that I anticipate to find

[reginrokkr]

One partial less, one step closer to freedom! Today's partial went well, not as well as the others did but it's good enough. Since we're on those days™ when we don't do anything in class, I came home earlier so I had more time to relax. Meaning that I have plans to tackle down those 5 drafts that I have pending to deliver once I come back from doing some exercise with my father. In the meanwhile, since it's Munday, you can send me anything from thingy #1 and thingy #2 and I'll answer those too! ♥︎

#◟༺✦༻◞ what lays behind the mantle of faux stars ┊ooc.┊ #soon I'll taste the freedom #from ending with the finals hell #that is coming next week #but since I've been studying hard for these partials #it's like I have half the way walked already #so it'll be just a matter of revising a bit #to remember past content #oh and I'll be able to play a bit through the 4.4 patch #on Wednesday #which is great too #I'm rubbing my hands at the juicy lore #that I anticipate to find #I might play B.aizhu's quest tomorrow #since I was told that its content might be related #but today it's writing time #to not keep you peeps waiting too much #as I'll probably fade a tiny bit during next week

Oh look, it seems everyone has been opted into the unfortunate "experiment" now. For everyone who has been blissfully using the old UI up until now, welcome to hell :)

Do you not like hell? Do you want to leave and crawl back up into the sunlight of the old UI? Well, have I got a link for you! A beautiful tumblr user (who is not me) has gone and fixed things beautifully for you already: https://github.com/enchanted-sword/dashboard-unfucker

You will need to have Tampermonkey installed on your browser of choice, and once that's done, just go to the github link above, and peruse the readme to install. And voila! You have your old dash back!

The authors of XKit Rewritten said during the experiments that at the time, since this was an "experiment" they weren't going to implement anything to revert to the old UI (although who knows if they'll do it now). And the dashboard unfucker has worked beautifully enough for me to where I genuinely couldn't tell if they had ended the experiment or not.

#EDIT: pinning this for a few days so muts can find it if needed #EDIT: but also because i'm muting notifications because my phone is now dying #i foresee me possibly having to mute the notifications on this post #but whatever #(update: my prediction came true faster than i anticipated before i could even fix link mistakes or typos 🤷‍♀️ SORRY) #(when posts you make for your muts get a little further out than expected) #psa for anyone who the new ui winds up bothering #here's a way to basically revert to ye olden times

oh btw just in case nobody ever told you. just because your life looks different than you thought it would doesn't mean that your life is bad or wrong or disappointing or less than. sometimes things aren't good or bad. sometimes they're just different

#ok to rb #just thinking a lot ab expectations n things and realizing that even tho im experiencing a Lot of suffering i can still find happiness #and even if it isn't the life i anticipated it is still MY life. there is always good in it. i will never stop searching for it #🍜 #🦠

[carlyraejepsans]

i unironically block and avoid anyone who interacts with callout posts btw. unless the post contains information about genuine real harm to real people in unequivocal terms, with solid proof and context that cannot be chalked up to misrepresented friendship drama, i go scorched earth on the notes. the amount of potential harassment and harm they can and HAVE caused in the past, especially to minority groups, trans women in particular, is beyond anything that can ever justify their existence. they're a petty, childish—frequently wrong!—thoughtless and cruel way to "spread awareness". grow up.

#so yeah. 99.9% of the time if someone finds out i randomly blocked them it's because of this #every. single. time. i was ever pushed to the point of publically and openly calling out someone's behavior i ended up regretting it #even as i remained 100% in the right. because despite the other person's actions being wrong i found context to their behavior #either because they were hurt before or they had been stalked or they were much younger than i had anticipated #and the issue could've been resolved a hundred times better if we had just dealt with it in private. eye to eye. without making a spectacle #and without causing unnecessary harm and stress to each other

In case you want some cool news, they were studying subglacial rivers in Antarctica and stuck a camera in there, and there were a bunch of little guys wriggling around!

Here they are, if you don’t want to read the rest of the article:

https://youtu.be/D_aoRYNnKCs

They are like 500 kilometers from the nearest daylight, way further than the animals in the deepest parts of the sea, but they’re still finding enough nutrients to get by!

A loud ass explosion just happened and the whole building shook. And while getting my dog from under the kitchen table I saw smoke coming out of neighboring buildings. There were two explosions actually, and my friend from across the city heard them too but only several seconds later due to sound delay. We heard them almost immediately because of how close they were. There are more missiles in the air. The air raid has been happening for hours already, and we had one earlier at night as well. It's 8 am right now. Cities like Kharkiv (north-east), Lviv (west), Odesa (south-west), Dnipro (south-east), Khmelnytsky and Vinnytsya (west-center) and Kyiv (north-center) were targeted and damaged. I think I'll update later, either with more information or just to say that the air raid is over and that we're ok

#i knew this was going to be a hard night because I had a huge mental breakdown but I thought it would be just nightmares #but I also anticipated this happening because russia likes to kill people before new year's eve #and also partly because fate always finds you in a tough spot to help you find out that there is a rock bottom underneath a rock bottom #ukraine #war in ukraine #stand with ukraine #important #russia #russia is a terrorist state #fuck russia #war blog #russian war crimes #kyiv

Are you planning on doing some KND redreaw screencaps? It can be from any episode, mainly the ones you like. Also your artsyle's cool I love it

I'm not really as big on DOING screencap redraws, but I enjoy seeing other people's! :> Idk, for me, I try to draw pretty close to the show's style, so doing a screencap redraw just seems like it wouldn't be that interesting coming from me.

But, I did one just for you :> I was originally going to do a different episode, but upon rewatching the end of INTERVIEWS I had to do this one. I took some liberties, like shoving them closer together, I hope that's okay lol

Also thank you so much for the compliment!! 💖

DIABOLIK LOVERS DAYLIGHT Vol. 7 Mukami Ruki Animate Tokuten Drama CD: “Sleeping Together ★ With Vampire"

Audio

No, not that kind of sleeping together.

...And yet somehow not really the other kind either because despite it's title there is LITTLE TO NO SLEEPING TOGETHER GOING ON AT ALL except at the very end TᴖT TᴖT TᴖT My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Ok ok I'm obviously being overdramatic. Misleading name aside the CD is enjoyable and cute just...not at all in the way I was expecting (that being something akin to the Sleeping Vampire Scenario from Vandead Carnival but, alas, no). But oh well, I got to hear Ruki be all deredere towards the end so it's fine I guess lol

Ideally I'd create an actual translation to go along with this (I might do so sometime in the future, unless someone more competent does it first) but for now I've put a summary of the story under the cut. I ask that you please have mercy on me though, I am not used to writing this kind of stuff and it probably shows >﹏<;

Regardless, I hope you enjoy ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉ ⋆⁺₊☽⁺₊⋆

[Disclaimer: I always allow my stuff to be used for translation purposes, as long as I am credited. BUT DO NOT REPOST THE AUDIO ON ANY WEBSITE WHATSOEVER. I bought the CD with my own money and as such this audio belongs to me.]

Summary ~*×*☆*+*~

[Please note that there may be mistakes or I might've misinterpreted parts of the CD. I apologize in advance (╥﹏╥)]

The CD starts with Ruki encountering Yui, who is carrying an unusually large package. Curious, Ruki asks her what she's doing, and learns that Kou has tasked her with delivering the package to him (Ruki). Ruki is somewhat perplexed as he doesn't recall requesting anything of the kind. Yui suggests that it might be a surprise gift, but Ruki is skeptical. He wants to ask Kou directly but is reminded that he is currently away on a location shoot. With a resigned sigh, Ruki decides that he has no choice but to open the package in Kou's absence. He asks Yui to hand the package to him, and then invites her to come along to his room to find out what's inside. She eagerly accepts, and they head off together.

In Ruki's room they take a seat (on what I assume to be the sofa) and open the package. Inside, there are various wooden pieces resembling parts of something, along with a letter from Kou. Ruki reads the letter aloud and it's revealed that the package contains a (*drumroll*)... puzzle! And not just any puzzle but a ✨️3D puzzle✨️. In the letter Kou encourages Ruki and Yui to assemble the parts together to discover what they will form. Since he's got spare time on his hands Ruki decides to have a go at it, with Yui joining in.

After a while of working on the puzzle, Ruki asks Yui how her part is coming along. She shows him, and he comments that she's doing better than he anticipated. He helps her out with some difficult pieces before instructing her to continue on her own. Yui asks Ruki if this is his first time putting together a 3D puzzle, and he replies that he's tried some before, but that this particular type is new to him. Yui is eager to learn what it is they are building, and Ruki, not wanting to dampen her anticipation, pretends he still can't quite figure out what the finished thing will be either (awww ♡). Ruki suggests that rather than moving their mouths they should focus on moving their hands as with their current pace the puzzle won't be finished. He reasons that the faster they move the sooner they'll have their curiosity satisfied. Yui agrees to work faster and Ruki promises to do the same.

They pick up the pace and eventually the puzzle is done. The assembled pieces have formed a small foreign castle, and Ruki reveals that he suspected as much from the start. He surmises that Kou must have remembered their expressed desire to visit such a castle after seeing one by chance on one of his TV shows. Ruki acknowledges Kou's attempt to make the two of them happy in his own way. He praises Yui for doing a great job despite not knowing what they were actually assembling, noting that the part she made fits perfectly into the castle.

However, there is no response from Yui, causing a puzzled (ahaha) Ruki to remark on her lack of reaction to something she had been so excited about. Turning his head to the side to look at her, Ruki discovers that she's fallen asleep with her head resting on his shoulder. He comments on the privilege of such a sleeping position but acknowledges that it's understandable she'd fall asleep since it's past their usual bedtime. She had seemed so engrossed in their work that he didn't notice her drifting off.

Ruki carries Yui to his bed and gently places her there, saying that she should have just told him that she was tired. He realizes that she likely made an effort to stay awake until the end, though she ultimately fell asleep. Deciding that it would be a good time for him to go to sleep as well, he tidies up and hides the little castle under the table, so that he'll be able to see Yui's reaction to it in the morning.

Returning to the bed, Ruki asks Yui to scoot over to make room for him, but she's sleeping too soundly to hear. He lies down next to her and (in true Mukami Ruki fashion) begins observing Yui's sleeping face. He notes how relaxed her expression is and wonders if it's because she's tired out from using her brain (lmao rude). Ruki then ponders what kind of face Yui will make when she wakes up—will she feel guilty for falling asleep before the puzzle was finished, or will she be surprised and embarrassed to find him laying next to her? Regardless of what her reaction will be, Ruki knows that it'll be enjoyable to witness. But he's certain she'll be happy once she sees the completed puzzle and admits to himself that he really wants to see that expression on her face. He's aware that it's out of character for him, and thinks that he might even have trouble falling asleep from the excitement (asdfsdjfj this is too fucking cute I can't)

Ruki decides that he should thank Kou for the useful gift by making him his favorite food for dinner tomorrow. The mention of dinner causes Yui to stir (what a relatable Queen), and Ruki teases her for being greedy. He assures the still-sleeping girl that she doesn't need to worry; he'll make her favorite dish as well as a reward for her hard work on the puzzle.

The CD ends with Ruki saying how he looks forward to seeing Yui's reaction the following day.

TM anime ad bumpers : o

(clips from TM49 and PAL22 respectively.) the way austin says "the TWILIGHT MIRAGE" in PAL22 got stuck in my head & then i went on a search for a clip with a similar vibe to cut these together

#twilight mirage #fatt #friends at the table #tender sky #signet #rosa art #shoutout to cassie and andy from the fatt.wiki discord who helped me find the fatt logo font(s). and also the angle AND letter separation #though with clip studio paints dipshit text tool i couldn't really do that. but i'm saving the info...! #this is for the vault of anticipation episode btw. to me. and i did draw it #another idea i had in december and could not do then #i am posting this now bc its so far down my drafts i don't wanna scroll down there a third time

WTF... it’s The Day That’s In It and we may as well get this over with. :)

For 24 hours (...or no, let’s tell the truth: actually until local midnight on the 30th, because what’s the rush? -- and also, there’s always somebody finding out about this kind of thing a bit late...), get our whole DRM-free Ebooks Direct ebook store (35 novels and short works!) for USD $44! The info's right here:

https://bit.ly/WholeStore44ForCyberMonday

(...And then I can sit back and stop worrying about the fecking Marketing Season, and get back to writing and cooking.) 

(...Actually, I tell a lie. My true intention for “after I finish work today” is to activate one of these lovely gifts I’ve been sent and completely flood my screen with crabs. And then screencap the results and post the video. ...So as soon as this post achieves (picks a random number) 250 reblogs, I’ll do that.

(So go forth, y’all, and act accordingly.) :) 

#Cyber Monday #sweet Thoth but I'll be glad when this is over #both on the giving and receiving end #fooey #or indeed #pfui #ebooks #ebook sale #yet also #CRABS #so many crabs #I wonder how many crabs you'd have to load to break the function #someone on staff will have anticipated this #surely #...LET'S FIND OUT #FOR SCIENCE!!!

Thorns

Pairing: Malleus x Riddle Notes: This is for the fifth day's prompt ("Thorns") of the 2023 TWST Rarepair Halloween event. This is LATE, but is getting posted. It's also only... vaguely about them, being more of a general poem reflecting two similar, but opposing individuals.

Both different, yet connected; closely tied. Secluded wither, but supported, thrive. With feelings neither one could ever hide, Together, rose and blackthorn feel alive.

They cling, and twist, and grow in in their own way: The blackthorn takes his time, he ripens slow, The rose, instead grows fast, then wilts away. A balance - summer's heat, and winter's snow.

Both sharp and fierce, though softness also lies Within; a berry dark, a flower red. Their thorns and prickles choke, but too, growthwise, Protect. Their love not harsh, but sweet instead.

Two lovely boys, just like the flora strong, Root in each other's hearts, their whole lives' long.

I sincerely believe that institutionalization is a deterrent for healing. The state of many institutions is incapable of handling people in acute need, and more often than not, we are traumatized from institutionalization because of this reality.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #institution tw #mental hospital tw #like i was not able to heal when i was being treated like a prisoner plus being aware that the hospital could NOT handle a trans patient #it was humiliating and i am not and won't be the only one with this experience #i may have spoken about this before but i was reminded of this so. and i'm not digging through 1000+ posts to find it #because searching for posts on a blog is so hard and i wish staff would finally fix it #i anticipate this being probably a controversial take... but i just don't think i can be convinced otherwise #before i was in a hospital i thought they were good. after i was in one i realized that that wasn't necessarily reality

Would you mind if I drew this art in my style? (This is so beautiful, btw, it broke my heart!)

Permission is *always* granted to people wanting to do redraws! I am so touched you liked it enough!

#ask #finding art I liked and attempting to redraw it was one of the best ways for me to understand and learn all the art fundementals #even if it was just part of the piece - It was amazing to see take apart the scene and rebuild it! #(I am also a bit of a motorhead so taking things apart to learn about them is in my nature I think.) #So - while it is also so extremely touching to be the artist on the otherside of the inspirational wall- #- I am also so respectful of the process of art! I truly hope you have fun taking my piece apart and rebuilding it! #even if you keep it to yourself! Just knowing you thought about it is a high hounour B*) #(If you *do* end up posting it please feel free to tag me/dm a link. I will be vibrating into walls in anticipation) #((and thank you for the kind words on the piece. I promise I did have fun despite my agony in the tags))
