"What a lovely little bride I'll make, my dear I'll look divine"

So here's the next addition to my personal signature dolls to celebrate my 10 years of repainting: Vanessa!

This time I tried to somewhat recreate the look I once gave her back in 2015, but using the new Vanessa doll from last year.

The old one found a new home long ago and was the very first one to do so! Due to this milestone Vanessa sure deserved to be part of my personal lineup :)

Hope you like this new take on an old look :3

I hope you are as excited as I am about this anniversary year and let me know your guesses on these signature dolls or which past doll of mine you'd like to see again :3 . repainted with high pigmented artist acrylic paints // hair restyled // before doll: 2022 Shop Disney 12" Deluxe Set Vanessa doll

evolution of how men and i interacted at my different jobs so far

doing exact same work and being physically stronger than some of the men > men start lifting things for me and shooing me away when i try > guy held open a door for me and after i said thanks he said i’m just happy to be ur knight in shining armor today

#personal #granted last one i was on a scooter for a broken foot so like context #but still crazy my first job we all did the same jobs #like granted some were only for people literally strong enough #then next job men start just #lifting stuff for me #like not even heavy stuff but also heavy stuff #if it’s even a little heavy men at home depot will just grab it from you immediately a good chunk of the time #if they let you even get near it #now granted also very common a dude ignoring you struggle and then rip a nail out like avoid eye contact #dude and chicks to be clear but we’re talking dudes #then now #nothing super weird actually to report gender wise nicely enough #only thing is maybe sercuity telling me i should be smiling but i think i missed the end of a joke #but he’s a nice guy anyway so like no biggie either way which sounds bad but like #it’s just not that deep i don’t see this dude super often and it’s a usual quick hello how are yous and asking how im doing foot wise he’s #nice plus he said i look like some celebrity my first day i can’t remember her name and i’m not re asking #no idea where this was going but there we are

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

#rambles '24 #ok to reblog btw #all my posts are ok to reblog #if not i would make them unrebloggable lmao #edit: i am a fool #i said that thinking this would maybe get 5 notes or something #and now we're here lol

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

#personal #goncharov #woke up at 3am to write this now im gping back to sleep goodnight.

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

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

"Flipping your fins you don't get too far, legs are required for jumping, dancing. Strolling along down the - What′s that word again? Street!"

I told you in my last post we'd have something to celebrate this year. In fact there are quite a few things to celebrate: Frozen turning 10, Disney turning 100 and - drumrooooll! Me, repainting for 10 years :O can you believe it? Time truly flies and it doesn't even feel that long. Sure I took a couple of breaks in between but yeah, in the late summer of 2013 I repainted my first doll ever. Maybe you remember that one, maybe you don't. But don't worry, we'll have another look at the first one soon :3

To celebrate I chose dolls from the past 10 years that I kinda consider my personal signature dolls. Either they have a significant backstory attached to them, they mark some kind of milestone or they simply have a personal meaning to me.

I'll either create an entirely new version of each of the chosen dolls, like with Ariel here, or I'll try to recreate the look of the past work which will be fun :3

There won't be one doll from each year, simply because I don't see the need to update dolls from the more recent years. But there will still be two newer ones that will get another version :)

For now I'll focus on that plan but depending on my state of health and how far I progress with the anniversary dolls, I'd also love to repaint one or two entirely new dolls like Asha from Disney's upcoming 'Wish' (looking SO forward to that one 😻). I might also consider doing a new tutorial later this year as well as a give away if we reach the next instagram milestone 😏

I hope you are as excited as I am about this anniversary year and let me know your guesses on these signature dolls or which past doll of mine you'd like to see a new version of :3 . repainted with high pigmented artist acrylic paints // hair partly rerooted & restyled // before doll: 2022 Shop Disney 12" Deluxe Set Ariel doll // clothes: Designer Ariel doll fin (waist fins added) + Simba Ariel doll seashell bra (repainted)
