#you are the NEATEST

[vinceaddams]

a lot of people, when they start learning how to sew, will see instructions about pressing carefully and staystitching and basting and grainline and machine tension and such, and will go "ehh, I can ignore that and save some time" and then later they'll go "why do my seams look so bad? :(" and. well.. that's why.

#and that was me to some degree for a good long while #mainly with basting. god I hated basting for so so long #but now it's my beloved way to the nicest neatest flat felled seams. basting is good! #I also stubbornly refused to learn to use a thimble until I was forced to for work #and it turns out thimbles are great! #sewing #I never skimped out on ironing at least! you NEED to press your seams dammit! #I also don't usually do staytstitching because it's not necessary on my 18th century tailored & square cut things #but for stuff like rayon summer nightgowns with curved necklines and armholes? IMPERATIVE!

one of the many ways which life is so unfair and cruel to me is that i do not have cool spidery elegant handwriting . in heaven (where i will go after i reanimate reagan's corpse just to kill him again) everything i write will look like field notes from a lesbian dowager with a suspicious interest in poisonous botany . and between the maddened sapphic scrawlings in the margins (where i am writing poetry about birds and nuts) there will be little watercolor diagrams of flowers also. and oh gosh so fine these little flowers will be

#i write like a dad :/ #all caps. extremely neat #when i don't write like that it's fucking illegible it's useless #it looks like a middle school kid trying out their emo font #ps i have TRIED to practice. i spent all of middle and high school practicing !!! #you think this gay ass of mine paid ATTENTION in class? #i STILL sometimes do calligraphy drills. it don't HELP #the capital letters are the neatest / least annoying i get :x #also @ that one person. yeah i have arthritis and carpal tunnel lol im in constant pain #BUT NEVERTHELESS I DESIRE SPIDER FONT!!!

I need to remember that I can't be seen in public after going to Taco Bell.

I enjoy Doritos Locos tacos (almost a given; how can any joy-loving omnivore not appreciate the absurdity of taco innards sheathed in a giant nacho cheese Dorito?). But I forget, in between visits, the way their shell trades festive coloring and snacktual authenticity for structural integrity.

I hunch over the to-go bag as I eat my bright orange prizes, like a possessive squirrel with a penchant for drive-thru meals. But each taco starts crumbling the moment I lay eyes on it, and the bag somehow fails to catch most of the food as it falls, leaving that job to my shirt and pants (and, on one memorable occasion, my bra and one sock). As each shell expires, it leaves me with a handful of unprotected taco matter, which I apparently proceed to smear on my face, according to the car mirror.

I was supposed to go get my passport photo taken now, but it will have to wait another day. I don't have a strong sense of shame, but I can't bear to walk into Walgreens looking like I barely survived a taco tornado.

#doritos locos tacos #(supreme) #my fast food beloved and nemesis #i wish i knew how to quit you #or at least remembered to bring an extra set of clothes #to be fair to the tacos #i'm not the neatest eater to begin with #my bff eats them without a mess and doesn't understand what's wrong with me #taco bell #op #toasty life

So I really like the idea that Strays in the Tron universe (programs that have lost their disks) gain the uncanny ability to find large pockets of wild Energy at will. Maybe as a last ditch effort by their corroded programing to find a way to save themselves?

Could also mean that they know on instinct when they’re near a User, because (1) they give off incredibly amounts of Energy naturally and (2) if we wanna get really angsty about it, maybe something in their innate code tells them, “This one can fix you. They can help you find yourself again.”

#babbles #tronblr #probably one of the neatest things to come out of uprising for me are the strays #i think its intriguing world building and also so so full of potential #and i bet in this scenario the reason strays arent used as an energy finding resource #it’s a mix of prejudice and fear. and also strays don’t have a long shelf life do they? even with energy a plenty no disk means you’re #walking around as a useless interface with no purpose and no memory #can programs create their own disks? makes me wonder what the occupation would have done with a diskless beck #on the flip side strays developing their own society hiding just beneath the other is really cool to me #like nobody realizing there are as many as there are #brought to you by ‘ive been thinking more of that au where alan goes to the grid to rescue a kid sam that found himself in there and its set #in the uprising era’ and my biggest scalp scratcher is ‘okay where tf is sam’ #and there’s something about nobody knowing where he is bc he’s actually found himself amongst a colony of stray programs that i love

[indecisive-dizzy]

Any Howdy ideas to share? /nf

Oh I have So Many ideas. Pulled out my notes for this! Gonna start with family bc I've been wanting to share.

Howdy is The middle child. This man suffers from middle child syndrome big time, his parents hardly acknowledge him unless they're complaining about his career choice/comparing him to his siblings.

Speaking of! He has 15 siblings! They have names and traits and I wasted So Much Time on them! So here a list from oldest to youngest! as well their jobs

Heather- house wife w no kids. married big rich

Huntley- restaurant owner w multiple locations

Hailey- successful crafts/furniture business

Hayden- same business with Hailey

Heath- plane engineer

Hector- commercial pilot

Henry- big industry CEO

Hannah- chain store assistant manager

Howard "Howdy"- You know this one!

Holland- part-time job hoping

Harrison- college student

Harvey- college student

Harwin- college student

Harmony- student

Hope- student

Holly- student

3-4, 5-6, and 15-16 are twins. 11-13 are triplets. I don't have ages bc they need to be reworked. Yes all their names start with H. I thought it would be funny but it was Not Worth It. /hj

Back to Howdy! He loves all of his younger siblings. He's not as close to his older siblings with the exception of Huntley bc I love him. He actively dislikes Henry and Heather bc they belittle him a Lot.

Howdy, Hannah, and Holland were The trio of the family. Howdy is closest to these two.

He was also hugely involved in raising/taking care of the little ones. He was the only one that could get the triplets to take a bath in a reasonable amount of time with little mess/fuss. No one knows how he did it.

Stepping away from family!

It's so easy to make Howdy laugh. He makes a big deal out of jokes and having a good sense of humor, but he'll laugh at anything! He just hides this fact to save himself the supposed embarrassment. He almost Laughed Out Loud at one of Frank's jokes! Frank Frankly! The Unfunniest Neighbor! The memory haunts him. /j

Cuddle bug. Someone please hug the caterpillar. He just wants to give his loved ones a big squeeze and in some cases never let them go (cough Barnaby cough). If you fall asleep against him he will cherish the moment but will playfully complain later.

Cries if/when anything happens to the shop. Water leak? Sobs. Stain? Inconsolable. He loves his little shop so much.

He may scam people but he's really not in it for huge profits. He's just like that. Refuses to Ever open another store. There's only one Howdy so there will only be one Howdy's Place!

Oblivious but falls in love easy. He won't realize he's in love but he always falls first. Just give him time to realize it.

Will flirt with his partner but flusters when it's returned.

Despite being a workaholic, he gets plenty of rest and is pretty good with self care! He finds it very important to be well rested and healthy if he's gonna work so much. He also sleeps like a rock.

I have this idea to specifically contrast with Eddie! Who does Not know when to stop working. Howdy complains often of Eddie's sleep schedule (or lack thereof). This had led to Eddie being forced to nap in a big armchair behind the store counter on multiple occasions.

Howdy has essentially adopted the neighbors as family. Except for Barnaby I guess bc he's in love with the big blue dog.

One the youngest neighbors. He refuses to acknowledge this as he's had enough of being the baby brother thank you very much.

oh golly this got long very quick.. so that's all for now! 😅

#i could literally keep going #i have so many thoughts about his family and their dynamics #as well his interactions woth neighbors outside the shop #thsi caterpillar is just alfnsckajkdfjja <3 <3 #Fun fact! He's what got me into Welcome Home! #I was watching the first GTLive about wh (don't come for me plz) #and when he pulled up Howdy's character in the neighborhood page i Lost It #I literally heart eyed and screamed #I thought he was the neatest fella! The Character Design Ever #I proceeded to consume as Much Information as possible about Welcome Home #Then Eddie stole my heart- #srry Howdy but have you looked at the mailman? #anywho! Thank You for letting me go off about the big bug man. #im gonna go eat leftovers and think about him <3 #dizztalkstoomuch #neon child #welcome home #howdy pillar #Pillar Family #<- bc i may talk more about them #omg i forgot to mention everyone's a butterfly but Howdy. #theres lore to that but i don't want to make this post longer. #if u want the details and lore just send another ask! I can give angsty lore! #please ignore every typo. I'm on mobile and fixing tags is horrendous

[threadbaresweater]

Unfortunately for you Lin, my dad was a truck driver for most of my life and I’m here to fuel your brainrot. Please don’t kill me

So what kind of truck driver would you think Arthur is? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say livestock. Cattle and hogs, that kinda thing

He’s surly and a little dirty, always smells like animals to the point where you want to banish him to washing his coveralls at the laundromat. He definitely fudges his logbook and may or may not be committing tax fraud on those 1099s.

He’s got pictures of you (and any wild and feral children you might have) littered throughout the truck. Taped to the dash, hidden in the visors, on the fridge, stapled to upholstery that surrounds the bunk where he sleeps less than he should. Maybe a homemade ✨magazine✨ made specially by you under the pillow.

If you’re not in the truck with him, you’re on the phone with him for hours on end. Just talking about whatever. What he’s seeing down the interstate, what you made for dinner last night.

If you do come along, you try to make a point of getting in on the heifer hauls. Why? Because pregnant cows are cute as hell. And calves are even cuter. While Arthur is running around getting the tracks and gates lined up to the trailer, you’re just hanging out by the little calf pen, petting their snouts and heads while they try to eat your hands.

Nights are spent together on the bunk that’s really only made to fit one person and watching shitty B grade horror movies on a 15” tv screen. Stale microwave popcorn and smooches and giggles abound

Anyway sorry and you know what? You can actually kill me lmao. I might deserve it. Calf thing is a true story of mine lolol I love cows. This ended up being a lot lmao

is it weird that I'm tearing up over this? you've added fuel to an already blazing inferno, and I'm SO unwell over this idea. I can picture the cab of that truck so clearly I can almost smell it- cigarettes and cow shit and straw and stale popcorn. everything is covered in a thick layer of dust and grime. there's gravel stuck in the floorboards and the controls and the wheel are so dirty it's hard to remember what color they originally were. his seat is torn and some of the stuffing is visible, and there are cigarette holes and straw wrappers and empty 5 hour energy bottles in every nook and cranny. there's a topless hula dancer on the dash and receipts stashed near the windshield.

he always brings something back for me and the kids, some little keepsake from a roadside souvenir shop. we have all kinds of jewelry and tchotchki littered throughout the house from every state. and on his most lonely nights when the need for each other is mighty strong, he'll video call from the bunk, but not before making sure all the windows are covered and he's tucked away from any prying eyes at the truck stop.

when he does come home I make him go straight to the shower and I'll put his clothes on a heavy duty washer cycle while the kids are running feral through the backyard. we sit down to a family dinner and end the night with a little bonfire and smores in the backyard, and after the kids pass out he shows me just how much he missed me.

he sleeps like a rock- well past noon the next day. and then it's on the road again the next day before the sun comes up.

#my uncle was a truck driver for most of my childhood and he always brought stuff back for us #he loved his trips out west and would show us the coolest pictures and find the neatest stuff #leigh I'm in love with you did you know? #arthur morgan #truck driver au

[callisteios]

I ended up with "god of longing for connection", which is funny given my current situation (housing/attempting to get comics into animation etc) and I'm noticing that some others are getting deep sea god (when they're actually studying the deep ocean as their major) etc... so my q is, are you somehow an ancient greek oracle pointing things out using modern technology to see what the mortals do with this knowledge? (Also thanks for a fun quiz)

you're going to get a long answer for no other reason than I'm at work and I hate my job. sorry

like way to long. i am so sorry.

So.

personality stuff

I'm going to say that first and foremost I am a massive skeptic when it comes to stuff like personality types, astrology etc. I think a lot of these things are people making very broad statements which many people identify with and become more convinced of their reality. a messy rabbit hole. I'm hardly the first to say this so lets move on

I also am a massive fan of personality quizzes (done well) and things like tarot ( i literally love doing tarot readings does anyone want a tarot reading). so not super well meshing opinions you may say?

yes.

however. i make them fit like this. I don't think all people can be split into 12 or 16 or whatever number of groups. I do think there are many shared human experiences and emotions. I know that most people taking my quiz are of a smiliar age and mostly western. This means we have even more shared experiences in this very global world.

I also know that from a lifetime of studying people and trying to understand their motivations (thank you autism (in case you couldn't tell)) I have got reasonably good at understanding various types of feelings and states people experience. and yes i suppose 'types' of people.

From this observation I have understood that (on top of us living in a very similar/global environment) we all (not all but basically all) go through the same emotions at some point during our lives.

From this experience and my understanding of our shared reality and feelings it is not exceptionally hard for me to then craft a quiz and retroactively apply the answers.

Example:

I'm going to give an example here because I feel my explanation has got incredibly rambly. Uh spoilers for my god quiz

Let's look at this result: the sky and the earth (because it's one of my favourites)

the first thing i'd say about this is that it's literally based on one of my favourite songs of all time. written while the author was in a mental instition no less (stream dory previn). so i am hardly the first to identify this 'type'.

When i look at this result and am assigning answers for it, several things about it stick out to me. Its main focus is the in between feeling, the longing for more spirtuality but also a desire for the physical and real. while at the same time feeling as if those are very confliced desires. there's obviously more to it but i can only hold so much info in my brain.

i think this is a state many in modern society will experience as we live in such a new and confusing and separate world. i am exposed to more of the world every day, and yet i feel as if i understand it less. the opportunities for me to truly experience the natrual are few and far between. i want to crawl around upon the earth. i want to see the stars and be enlightened.

knowing this i will say

does someone who is sky and earth want to be a god?

(this was the hardest question for literally every type btw.) here i'd say yes. because only something divine can be two opposing concepts surely. surely to know the sky and earth is an impossible goal for a mortal.

ok moving on (im not doing this for every quesion, don't worry, just a couple more to hammer home the point)

this one was harder. i was torn between fruit, dedicated to one issue, and drowning. I think all fit but went for dedicated in the end

for this one i knew i was using a picture of an iguana and i thought iguanas come from deserts so i chose desert. they're not all hits

this one was so easy. to me the confluence of rivers, bringing together something that's normally apart. that felt like the duality of sky and earth to me.

basically the exact same thing as above with mutilation.

i chose the painting of the building surrounded by people. i felt like this building crushed between the sky and the earth, looked upon by passers by, felt like a monument to the dichotomy. when i am feeling sky and earth i feel like the building, i cannot move or touch or really experience. i am just stationary watching it all move around me

So you see. I have identified here an emotion which i felt, which i have witnessed others feeling. i have identified the likely responses i believe a person in this state would give and i hope for the best.

Tarot

OKay you definitely get the point bt now. but i am nowhere near done, i mentioned tarot earlier. there was a reason for this beyond me wanting to do more tarot readings.

I think even though im good, i am really not that good. one thing i have noted over doing many tarot readings is that often the subject needs incredibly little input from the reader. oh, they may need your help guiding them towards the symbolism on the card, but once they've got that they launch into an explanation of how this answers their question.

Because I Always make sure they ask a clear question. this to me is the most important part of any kind of reading or quiz. you want the person to think about this themselves and then perhaps help them to the conclusion. once they're at the results screen/have a card they already have some idea in mind. it doesn't matter if they were expecting something a bit different, this is just a vehicle for their own self truth anyway.

ok im done.

i am a god

woah woah woah. im not done though. you're talking to a classicist so ive GOT to address the oracle comment. my favourite oracle of delphi theory is that the oracle's chamber sat above some kind of natural gas deposit, this gas was possibly hallucinatory. The oracles would get high and then deliver prophesies. I believe that if you combined my observation with powerful drugs I could come up with prophesies like "if your empire goes to war with another empire a great empire will fall ;)". Therefore, yes i am. and i'm taking requests ;)

tldr? uh. i take very universal feelings, use some skill to present those to people most likely to identify with them, they do a bunch of the work

/tldr i am a divine prophet and would like my place at a nice temple and access to good drugs asap

#you can take brackets out of my cold dead hands #i have many asides and i find them the neatest way to do this #please do not kill me and take my brackets #this is not to say i dont believe in the more mystical aspects of tarot and other forms of divination. #i do not think self relflection and divine providence are incompatable #i feel like i similtaneously called myself a fraud and way overstated my abilities #so hopefully we land on a nice centrist everyone hates me #using the tags as footnotes her #important to note: i think you will see far more people saying my quiz was good than saying it was bad and they didn't relate because most #who don't simply won't interact #ok #done #ask #ninjakittycomics #wait not done #i need to say sorry again #to you and my followers #i need to stop writing horrifically long rambles to every question #well i say need. ill never stop. but ill never stop being sorry #sorry if you read all this #to my point about people not agreeing with results #see everyone reacting to getting tech company campuses/made up finance things. my 'meaner' answers #they definitely don't agree (mostly) though i would say in some cases that's because people don't like reading bad things about themselves

[sonic-adventure-3]

the classic versions of characters, sonic and tails especially, are fucking adorable. i don’t much care about their rich inner lives but by god is it fun to see them in Situations

#like the calendar and harmony artworks are peak classic sonic and tails. they be in situations having a ball being cute #‘idc abt their rich internal lives’ as in i don’t think they’re the best vessels for complex moral or interpersonal quandaries #but like if you make it work then go off #like. ​idc as in neutral not ‘i actively dislike it’ #rambles #to be completely honest i feel the same way about tails in general #i love him immensely and i think he’s the neatest little guy on the fucking planet #he is not all that internally complex #but he’s fun and cute and if u give him good situations and characters to bounce off he’s real solid #enjoyable! not the most thought provoking

commission for @clownswolf! a custom character that i had a lot of fun designing!!

pssst you can commission me here!

[aeondeug]

reading the imperium maledictum corebook and whatever this system is like to actually play i do think that the patron and influence systems are neat.

#i really like systems in general that make use of like #here is some defined character that the gm plays which provides structure to the game #ryuutama's is the neatest of these i've found yet #but the patrons in this game seem really fun #both on the gm's side and the players' #like the free boon you get for an inquisitor as a patron is just #extremely Fun from a narrative standpoint #since while you do get access to a very useful mechanical benefit potentially #whether you get that or whether this fucks you over #is left entirely to gm discretion
