under the cut is more doodles of arakawa in his coat(s) and sawashiro doodles cause Lol

#rgg #ryu ga gotoku #ryu ga gotoku 7 #yakuza like a dragon #yakuza series #yakuza 7 #masumi arakawa #jo sawashiro #snap sketches #ive been telling myself for months to make color palette refs for these knuckleheads #and while waiting for The Time I Should Leave For Class i started doodling the arakawa sheet #and then i finished that and was like 'oh hes a bit lonely now aint he' so i went and did sawashiro #great opportunity for me to fix some colors too... ill prob revisit this thing like 90 times just to update colors down the line #its what i do with my other chara ref sheets #the art old as hell on those but i keep the colors up to date.. lol #also can i legally bully myself on this post. speaking of colors. i really forgot jo's tie is more of a pink than a red. STUPID ASS #i love makin refs like these... makea me feel like im workin on a show or somethin.. teehee.. #also Dress-Up-Doll kinda vibes... teehee 2x #i prob wont post any art that actually fts sawashiro's body moles but i mean. might as well share the refs #just so its not Arakawa And His Fifty Coats And Pinkyless Hand under the cut LOL #abt arakawas coats tho im debating on mixing in which ones i draw yk.. like the scarf look will be like. early 90's #then the coat we see him with in y7 is mid-90's onward. to be cute yk. we'll see how i feel down the line we know me im fickle lol #also yeah i purposefully left the tail of sawashiro's tattoo: its just supposed to be a ref of how his tattoo is positioned #and while adjusting the tattoo i remembered an ask someone sent me bout ichis tattoo... lol.. #cant believe anon didnt have to send me that reddit link we coulda just waited until this summer to see ichi's '''''full tatt''''''' HELP #STILL NOT OVER IT ok im done here. bye #an aside though for some reason arakawa's jawline feels diff compared to his 20's onward #idk if its cause of the ref image i use's lighting that makes 20's arakawa's chin more squared compared to the rounder shape he gets #mysterious.... oh well was tryin not to think too hard bout it since these arent supposed to be super detailed #just colors and whatever

my how to write a short story video hitting the algorithm and gaining 4.5k views in a month is soooo important to me like that “formula” is one of my best pieces of writing theory I’ve put out!!!

#that video FLOPPPPEEEDDD when it came out which I didn’t rlly care abt but I kinda did cuz I put a lot of effort into it LOL #BUUUUT goes to show how random algorithms are! #it randomly hit the algorithm in May and TOOK off in august! I think I posted it in December !! #like what’s most exciting isn’t the views to be clear lol BUT the fact that more ppl know this writing theory #I’m so passionate about it I shared it with my workshop & my prof asked if he could share it with the intro writing class LOLLL #Rachel really should be a prof but I hate academia bc the institution is racist and ableist etc & I would die <3333 #I EXPANDED on what was in the video ACTUALLY I should post the updated memo here!

The fact that you can just write words.. and then post them… the internet is a beautiful animal

#I’m a little bit sleepy #if you can’t tell.. #sighhh I should probably sleep early tonight #big (stressful? hopefully not) day tomorrow 🥲 #mostly just worried about the doctor’s appointment #and I have to share more about my project with my multimedia class which is. embarrassing!

Why do people around me expect me to support and respect sex “work”. It’s not a real job and it’s disgusting.

#Like congrats on being a sex toy? #☠️☠️ #Congrats on supporting the sexualisation of women and girls? #How people are communists & marxists yet support it…I don’t understand #mine #Sex workers are not like baristas or electricians and they should stop acting like they are #They don’t share the same protections and privileges for a reason #They’re nothing like that and they’re not as needed lol #It’s not hard being a sex toy like it’s hard doing manual labour #At least manual labour is rewarding #Plus #You’re a middle class liberal cracker in a first world country. Shut the fuck up please. #They’re made to be outcasts of society. Acting like they’re just like all workers does more harm than good

Ugh.

#wow. #I should not be mad at my ex-best friend rn but #already he’s acknowledged my sister #who isn’t even in the same class as him #more than he acknowledged me in the first two months when we SHARED A CLASS #UGH #feeling really hurt rn why is he like this #I probably shouldn’t be surprised but #come on dude #you’ve talked to my sister more than me #the only time you’ve talked to me since graduation was to invite me to your birthday party which I couldn’t make it to because work #(not that I know if I would’ve wanted to go anyways. it probably would have been awkward cause he probably invited my ‘replacement’) #silver rambles #vent

People thinking they can poke holes in the quality of the media I hyperfixate on puzzle me. Dude, I know it's trash. I know it's mediocre-to-actively bad. I know it has the nutritional value of Fruit Loops. That's why I hyperfixate on it. If it was actually good it wouldn't produce the kind of under-the-skin irritation only scratchable by 738274 fics, fanedits and meta. I'm not gonna apologize for it.

Of course people who hyperfixate on this trash thinking it's good is a whole other class of animal. That probably belongs in a zoo.

#insert CW show here #I wonder what it would be like to be in a fandom whose source material is actually good #like LotR or Alexis Hall or Discworld or Leverage #although I've blocked some of those tags because their fandom's avoidance of discussing their problems at all #the blind worship of their creators and general superiority about the ''goodness'' of their source material #is a lot more insidiously toxic than having to share space with J2 truthers #fandoms of trash media are a lot more open to criticism of our source material and creators #exception being RWRB fandom #but that's down to it being somehow annexed entirely by Swifties #they're the class of animal I'm talking about #supernatural #DCU #harry potter #DCtv #flarrowverse #BtVS #DC comics #should put Bones in here but the show was testing my cringe resistance even before I quit by S6 #imbibing copaganda is one thing but completely disgracing the field of anthropology is where I draw the line #same with Queer as Folk #like enjoyable for its time but I can't sit through it at all now #sometimes I do want to apologize for my hyperfixations #knee of huss

"Biden is only trying to get aid to Palestine and asking for a ceasefire as a PR move to get re-elected."

Uh.... Yeah.

Duh.

That was kind of the ENTIRE point of every US protest asking for him to do those things.

Protestors were literally saying, "Hey, help Palestine or we're not going to vote for you."

And what? Now you're fucking mad that he is starting to listen? Your mad that the protests are working? You're mad that Biden is doing the thing you told him to because he's afraid that we'll all do the thing we threatened to do if he doesn't?

I just... I legitimately do not understand what these people want.

Do you want Trump as president? Because he's sure as hell not going to help Palestine. You want the guy who's doubling down on his support for Netanyahu in office? No. You don't.

Do you want someone who isn't Biden OR Trump in office? Welcome to the fucking club. Do you happen to have ANY candidate who has pledged to do ANYTHING to help Palestine AND who has any hope of beating Trump? No? Then this isn't an option. Find a new plan.

Do you want to pressure Biden into doing what the majority of Democrats want him to do and supporting Palestine? (i.e. the ONLY plan that has any hope of actual success?) Well congrats. It's working. WHY ARE YOU MAD ABOUT THAT?

I don't give two shits about Biden's moral purity. He's not my grandpa. Not my problem. I don't care what he personally feels about the situation in Palestine. I do care about him putting his political power behind ending a genocide, and if we as the citizenry have to actually put OUR political power to use to force his hand, that's fine too. That means the system is working. That means that even when we don't have the ideal candidate, our voices can still be heard.

WHY ARE YOU MAD ABOUT THAT?

#biden #us politics #like I get why people are upset about the way Biden has been handling the situation #I get why people are passionate about this issue and I get why people are furious at the US's completely inadequate response #it's a fucking genocide #It's not good #but the goal should be ending the genocide #period #that's it #and if that's your goal then the BEST hope you have for achieving it is shaming Biden into taking action #The best hope you have is convincing Biden that he will lose the presidency if he doesn't step up #So that's the plan #And it's starting to work #So if you're mad about that then you either care more about purity culture than ending genocide #in which case... shut the fuck up #Or maybe you just have a different plan you think is going to work? #in which case please share with the class because I am confused as shit about what you're trying to do

wtf why is it only thursday. thats fucked up :[

anyway fun lil quizlet streak that idk why I’m even keeping at this point

#quizlet #shitpost #is there a world record for longest quizlet streak #google won’t tell me shit #I’m also a “top creator on quizlet” somehow #it might be bc I make so many fuckin quizlets for basically all my classes #my mom said I should make people pay to use my quizlets but I think that’s fuckin stupid for two reasons #one: I make the quizlets for myself and I might as well share the profits with the people who’ll take it #and 2. I’m pretty sure my classmates (some more than others) would rather fail the class than be bothered to pay for study resources lol #so I just make the quizlets for the classes I can and share the profits with the people who can be bothered to study #thers also this entire next process of bullshit where I import the quizlets into blooket (knockoff kahoot but honestly better) and hand type #all the wrong answers for each question #and if I want to combine blookets (ex. combine chapter blookets for the final) I get to individually copy paste everything again on the #stupid iPad that hates everyone in this school 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉/sarc #bleeeeeh #and cramps make me wanna explode into the sun #kabom 💥

VITD Sims Lookbook: Alice

And finally, with Victor and Smiler done, we finish off with some looks for our lovely Cutter, Alice!

Alice gets straight into the custom content with one of her everyday outfits, wearing the blue swatches of the 1890s Working Girl set by @vintagesimstress! And unlike the last time I showed her in this outfit, this time she has the apron overlay to go with it. XD Looks good on her AND gives her the proper working-class vibes!

For bedtime, Alice gets a pretty nightgown -- and much like Smiler, while they're not era-appropriate, I had to give Alice the cute bunny slippers too. XD What, we know she likes white rabbits! If I remember correctly, that nightgown is a dress that comes with the Cottage Garden Fan Stuff Pack made by @plumbobteasociety -- I thought it looked nice as nightwear for her.

For that semi-formal party everyone's going to, Alice gets a Realm of Magic top and skirt that make her look at least somewhat respectable. While I think the outfit as a whole is a little pale, I really wanted to use that top on her -- I think she looks good in it. And the skirt ended up working with it pretty well (which is good, because it took me ages to find one that actually went with the top. Some of this shit is HARD to match, let me tell you!).

And for a formal occasion -- well, unlike the boy and the non-binary person, Alice doesn't need to rely on CC here. Get Famous provides a beautiful Victorian dress for her to swan around in! (Though I should probably download a few for her anyway, for variety's sake -- or at least a couple of hats that might go well with this outfit. Head looks a little naked here!) She looks ready for a day in Brightstone, doesn't she?

Okay, admittedly I didn't intend this outfit as an athletic outfit, just another everyday one (though I suppose Alice COULD wear it for working out). And this Cats & Dogs dress is probably a little too modern to fit the proper BITD vibes. But I really like it for the simple reason the patchwork skirt looks like something Alice made herself -- finding and saving up scraps of fabric so she could have something else to wear besides her iconic striped blouse and black skirt. And you can't deny, it DOES look good on her!

And finally, for those chilly days, Alice gets in on the cozy vibes with a cherries-and-flowers theme -- the sweater (and I believe the skirt) is from Cottage Living, while the hat is a recolor created by Plumbella (from "illegally downloading clothes for my sims," in this SimFileShare folder (as you might imagine, it's the one called "beret")). She looks pretty comfy -- and those boots were definitely made for stomping around the streets in the snow and rain.

And that's that! Hope you enjoyed this look at what my VITD characters would probably wear in their universe. Next time (after Valicertine's Day), we're back to the Chill Valicer save for store shenanigans and magic shenanigans! See you then!

#sims 4 #cas looks #fashion #alice liddell #valicer in the dark au #I do find it amusing that Alice's outfit selection has the most CC in it #but she DIDN'T need a CC Victorian dress thanks to Get Famous #but yeah probably should get her some more Victorian dresses at some point #the main problem is that most of them are upper class dresses and she is not an upper class person #but a few fancier formal options would be good #really like the 1890s working girl set for her though thank you Vintage Simstress #and the patchwork dress is very cute on her #though maybe if I could find a separated skirt I could pair it up with a more era-appropriate top #and you've probably guessed that cherries hat is one of my favorites for her #which is why I was shocked to discover I DIDN'T have the download link at hand while making the post #I knew it was a Plumbella creation but it took me a while to track down the video where she made it #and from the the SimFileShare link where she shared it #like sheesh what the hell me #but then again I think I downloaded it before keeping better records of what was in my game #just glad to have the link now yay #might do another one of these at some point #still thinking about doing that VITD-inspired save file #so I want to make sure they all have plenty of clothes :p #queued

#mason hewitt #teen wolf #mason hewitt aesthetic #mason hewitt moodboard #teen wolf aesthetic #SO. there are so many things mason could be. and he doesn’t necessarily have to choose any of them either which is so beautiful i think #so anyways <3 he has like two PhDs but that’s not even important #he lectures and every class he’s ever stood in front has been delighted to have him some students even get obsessed #anyway he’s more interested in writing. he’s the expert on all things supernatural in the us basically #and he is able to collaborate with other learned supernatural experts #they publish papers on the supernatural mainly about shapeshifters #but they also expand into other lore #his most successful endeavor though (and the one he’s most proud of) is making the knowledge they’ve all acquired accessible to everyone #like transcribing and translating and putting into layman’s terms all things supernatural #it’s not easy at all and not everyone thinks they should be doing it but he’s so proud of it #supernatural literacy is his passion and he’s made it his life’s mission to educate as many as he can #anyway idk i just think he’d want to share all his knowledge #and he’d use all that knowledge to help people. #twgs #i’m always normal about him. #<— LMAO OKAY SO I WROTE THOSE TAGS WHEN I MADE THIS A WEEK AGO #as i said i didn’t like this enough to post but whatever here it is (gnashing my teeth. feeling exposed and vulnerable) #i also love how i make so many errors in my tags aaaughdjdjd

#so i survived my 1st week as a phd student. it's interesting. im not sure how i feel #the negatives are that i forgot how much stress being around people causes me. as a research assistant i was able to be on my own schedule #and go into the lab at odd hours so i never had to see anyone. but now im in classes and teaching and have a shared office #classes are tolerable stress wise so long as im sitting on an edge. i only feel a lil like im dying. teaching makes nauseous beforehand. #which is odd bc im not really worried while im doing it or before im doing it. i thibk its just that i have to interact ans i kno im a #mediocre teacher bc id rather die than do the back and forth of asking questions and u should teach interactively #i like to break down complex idea and help people with problems but i was not build to teach in classrooms. i get knocked off points when #i give class presentations bc i cant make eye contact lol. so that'll b annoying this semester. and its just so hard to function in an #office space. idk its weird like i dont even feel it that much while im there its just like a flashing *i need to leave* alarm. and then #when im alone its like a physical weight off of me. and i cant tell if thats what's draining my energy or if ive just cycled into a low #energy lul bc im just like. i wanna sleep. and for me thats always a sign that somethings wrong. i dont feel that bad mood wise but its #like there's a rock weighing me down as im trying to tread water. so those r the big negatives. the positives r that #i do enjoy being back in school. i love the structure of it. but im also self destructive abt structure so well see how it goes. but my #lab mates seem nice as does my advisor. i feel a bit bad bc ill have to learn genome stuff from the ground up. and today i was trying to #convey ideas to him like an insane person. bc i dont have enough background to talk fluidly abt my prospective project and i have a picture #of what i mean but not all the details. hopefully i made some sense. i think the idea is cool. and thats the other really positive thing. #the papers i have to read associated with this project r waaaaaaaaaay more interesting than anything i ever had to read for my masters. like #they're the types of papers i would force other ppl to read for lab meetings. so im optimistic abt not hating it by the end haha #yay for being excited abt science. but i guess thats the other thing i feel bad abt. like im interested but haven't read a lot to prep bc #i cant express how difficult dyslexia makes things but also i cant control how interested in things i get so i bassically banned myself #from reading papers im actually interested in like 3 years ago bc in retrospect i was prob going thru a hypomanic episode #and i was like reading papers abt microbes in Antarctica all day and not working on my stuff. and i just remember walking into the lab at #like 5am to trasfer alage with tears streaming down my face bc i was just like. i cant have this nice thing and b functional. it has to stop #so i just created this weird barrier in my mind where im not allowed to read fun papers. so its odd to b reading them now for work. its odd #also i was walking to my office worring abt things and then i saw some moss growinf around the edge of the sidewalk and it made me wanna cry #bc i am an extremely normal individual. i have normal feelings abt photosynthesis. but anyway yeah. its been interesting #hopefully ill stay optimistic. next week we have a orientation for new grad students. and i might have to drive like an hr away. hate that #the driving i mean. not the orientation. that should b fun #unrelated

#anyway i'm drinking a bottle of prosecco my colleague gave me for tutoring her kid in creative writing for free #it really should be shared with someone but i'm lonely #also my colleague sent me her daughter's report card for english and it was really sweet to read #her kid edits her own work and helps friends edit their work and explains why she's making those edits #and i feel like that's my impact in a small way #so while the creative writing classes with her feel more like fun than they do teaching her stuff #there is some learning happening #and genuinely i do think she's developing better skills #she's only 9 but she's so smart
