#libra.txt #my friends mean everything to me #i wish i had photographic evidence of our friendship though #to look back later and go 'that's us! we had fun together! we loved each other!' #i need to find a cute little photo album too.... #i've had one since i was a wee tot but it's coming apart :( #also if any friends just want to send pictures to add to my album feel free 👉👈 #since it is unlikely i will ever travel to meet most of you 😔 #but despite the distance we are friends and we love each other

something about baji, chifuyu and kazutora working at the same petshop, senju and sanzu being a famous youtube duo and getting along and izana, kakucho and the others helping children in rough situations makes me so emotional

#they all really found their vocation and happy ending #i'm so happy for them #also hanma being a freelance photographer is iconic this would make such a fun hankisa au #anyways i love this manga so much thank you wakui #i just wish naoto had been made justice #tokyo revengers spoilers #tokyo revengers

ok here are my best pictures ^w^

first three are before the total eclipse began. the first two show the umbra crossing before the red starts really showing up. the third one was like right before totality began (theres that little bit of sliver of light left on the bottom still). then the last one is shortly after totality began

#brot posts #astro posting #eclipse #photography #i wish i had researched how to photograph an eclipse prior but. well. i didnt #so theres a ton of things here that are making me wince that i wish i didnt do but like #the eclipse is a transient event i was just trying to get pics at all #normally you dont take exposures through a telescope. or at least not my kind of telescope #(mine does not do autolocking and tracking) #youre supposed to take a video and then take the pictures from the video (ideally by stacking but im not that advanced yet) #but ! if i did it that way then like. the red didnt show up at all #and it just wasnt focusing right because of the fog #so i had to do exposures to get pics #but that makes the pictures. SOOO grainy (as seen in the third and fourth ones) #second one is weirdly enough my best LOL #i didnt do an exposure there bc there was still enough light left that it was flooding out my lens even without the exposure #same for the first one #also im still debating with myself the right course of actioj for that stage #i forgot my moon filter for those which means i couldnt capture the details of the lit part. and also the lit part kinda floods out the #rest of the pic #but in hindsight. wouldnt using the moon filter made seeing the umbra harder ??? #which is like. the goal of eclipse photography? #so im. hm. still debating that

I listened to Cody Fry’s I hear a Symphony for the first time and proceeded to fall down the spectacular rabbit hole that is his music. and oh my goodness I am in love. his voice is like a showtune—a love letter to every one of my favorite songs from my favorite musicals. the video for waltz for sweatpants made me want to dance and cry! I don’t know how I’ve never heard of him before but my heart somehow recognized his voice immediately.

#cody fry #waltz for sweatpants #photograph #i hear a symphony #musicals?? #music #artists #art #musical #songs #multi instrumentalist #I low key thought these songs were covers from musicals i have not watched yet but nope! #they’re his and I wish I had a full musical to watch and fall in love with #it has to be the incorporation of all these instruments you just don’t hear often in mainstream music. #I must have forgotten. #how could i forget #mine #me #late night thoughts

it strikes me as so funny how many people record concerts on their phone. You know that footage is gonna be shaky and blurry as hell, and there's gonna be like 200 uploads just like it you could watch instead while getting to actually enjoy the thing you're watching. People cannot help themselves. They gotta put that shit online just to prove to people they were there.

#sometimes I see something beautiful and I'm like wow I wish I had my camera to photograph this #but with time you realize that sometimes beauty can just exist in a fleeting moment and then pass #and not having record of it doesn't make it any less important or impactful #why do we want to record everything #is living in it not enough

Psst. Who wants to see my costume? Behold, my take on Morticia Addams!

[Image attached: It's Jess! Instead of having xir bangs black and the rest blonde, all of it is black. Xe's wearing a rather fancy form-fitting dress. It reveals xir shoulders and a tasteful hint of cleavage, and the sleeves drape down from xir elbows in dramatic ripples. Xir makeup is done darkly but pretty conservatively.]

Dress:

#basil's bhalloween bash #personal ghost posts #{ {{ This post's images also brought to you by the mun having a great many fancy black dresses. #I wish I had more flattering pictures of the dress but alas. The full-body photographer was drunk off their ass. <XD #queued #{{ Queued this one because I'll be getting in costume to hand out candy to trick or treaters right when the Official Party Starts! #I'll have my phone with me outside but I can't guarantee I'll have much time to check it. #Also I wanted to make a Pokemon pun for Morticia Addams but 1.) I couldn't think of one and 2.) The Addams Family is ICONIC #and it brings me joy to imagine they exist in the Pokemon world too.

it begins

#i saw some cool sunflower runner on pinterest but i wanted it to be a whole queen size quilt sooo #nothing that me and the grid tool on procreate can't handle #as you can see i uh ran out of yellows and the dark saturated blues about halfway through #so i tried to slowly fade into lighter blues #is it a little weird? yeah #am i going to be occupied and cozy during the fall and winter months? fuck yeah #my plan w each quilt is to try a new type of stitch/shape/process for each one #like ive never sewn triangle blocks before so we'll see how this goes. it should be the exact same in theory #i also learned that when the quilt is bigger than a baby quilt it is fucking hell to lay it all out like this #my back hurts lmao #also the pins are because i needed to scoot the whole thing so now i get to unpin the whole thing :) (<- not excited) #i wish i had more browns because i think the browns and yellows look nice but oh well. next quilt #anyway. time to get this fucking thing off my floor #i will not be laying it out like this in the future bc that was TOO much #i will take photographs and import them into procreate like a normal person

My housemate reminded me of a flashbulb memory I have that I really wish I had a photograph of because it would be a magnificent image to inflict on the internet at large with Zero Context, but I'll try to describe it here, and then draw it after dinner.

Image Description:

As seen from about three feet off the ground: Interior, the den of an american suburban house built at the height of the atomic age and still decorated like it years later. There's dark wood paneling about halfway up the walls that offsets the almost neon pink-orange light of late sunset visible through the large window. Every object in the room is highlighted by the last of the sunlight. The only other light in the room is a TV set that was manufactured the same year Howdy Doody debuted on air, now broadcasting PBS Newshour in black and white.

Closest to the viewer, there is a small end table with a Nearly Full Martini glass, and a Half-empty glass Martini Pitcher, indicating that two of the five martinis it holds have been poured out.

Just behind it, an old man sits in a chair that was bright green and yellow when it was new but is now more Grellow. The man is in his mid-sixites, somewhat heavyset, with a full head of snow-white hair and thick glasses. He's wearing a dark brown tweed suit with leather elbow patches, and a white cotton button-up. He's watching the news with a calm and dispassionate demeanor. Tired, but still engrossed with the world's events. He's wearing dark brown penny loafers and garish argyle socks.

Behind him is a couch that is a matched set with the armchair, with the same Grellow chevron pattern, but there is a very large crochet afghan that has been spread out over the back to be decorative and maybe protect the couch from it's current occupant: a 120lb Wolf Hybrid.

She's seated lengthwise on the couch, like she had also been watching PBS Newshour, posed like a sphynx. She's close in wieght to the man, and definitely taller than him if she stands up, with a dark gray agouti coat and a bit of white countershading from the trace of domestic dog in her. She's turned her head to the viewer, bright yellow eyes focused on them, and the fur of her head and neck haloed with the sunset. She is pleased to see the veiwer, which means most of the teeth in her lower jaw are visible in her canine grin. The effect is very menacing if you don't know her.

Clutched rather neatly between her front paws is a second, identical martini glass, only not nearly quite so full as the old man's.

Little things adults and older people can do to help younger people and children feel included, safe, and respected as an equal individual:

Ask before touching the young person - even for hugs. Ask before you take pictures of them, and let them see photographs of them before they are printed or sent to others (even family).

Apologize when you are wrong

Ask for a young persons thoughts on a subject, then engage with them after they have spoken

Demonstrate behaviour you want to see from them (see: apologizing). Say "excuse me," say "thank you," say "please" to them

Validate their feelings, even if they don't know how to express them just yet

Remember that this is the first time they've been alive, and that you've had way longer to "figure it out"

These are some things I wish other adults remembered when engaging with young folks. We so often forget what childhood felt like and how unfair it all was because we were often awarded freedoms as adults that we never had as children. These kids are equal to adults, and they deserve the same courtesy, respect, kindness, and understanding we give to other adults.

#youth liberation #the first point was something i had SO many struggles with #i would have breakdowns because i was scared my picture would be taken without my consent then shared to others #i took a picture of my younger brother with his permission and i let him decide if i could send it to our dad... #...because it felt so scary when people did that without my consent and i would NEVER want him to ever EVER feel that because of ME... #...and it turned out that we had a really positive engagement and he was happy and excited with the picture! because he was informed! #and i think that made him really happy and brought us closer because he felt safe because he knew he was respected as a human being #that stays in my head a lot. i want him to never ever feel how i did as a child. he is such a cool kid :)
