Commissions

Hi! I’m opening up commissions so that I can pay off the veterinarian bills my cat has so that I can… take him back to the vet lmao. 

In total I need 750$ to cover all of it- I’ve been paying the rest of it off for almost 5 months now, but he has shown some troubling signs and sadly his insurance doesn’t cover the teeth problems he got going on. 

I’m not allowed to apply for more until I finished paying off the current bills. As I’ve not even had money for food this month (isn’t corona fun???) and have been relying on the kindness of friends and my parents giving me leftovers, needless to say I just don’t have 750 dollars laying around.

So yes I’m opening up commissions!

500 words goes for 10$

1000 words goes for 20$

I can basically write for anything and about anything so just send an ask or a message if you are curious! No judgement from me. However if it helps, the fandoms I’ve written for most recently are;

The Magnus Archives

TMNT

Critical Role Campaign 2

There are more not included here! I’m also comfortable writing things involving ocs, aus, kinks etc. Just send a message and we can discuss! My AO3 handle is Gemi if you wish to check out what I’ve written before.

Thank you so much for reading <3 

[sortvaniliekrans]

This is a chance to get some amazing work for CHEAP! Gemi is a superb writer who is not only the Angst Queen™ but also does the best fluff, great action, dialogue so perfect you want to kiss it, and fantastic plotting and world building

You want cute? She’s got it in spades. You want to cry? She’ll make you sob. You want to laugh? She’s got you. You want all? She somehow magically makes that work!

Also, her cats cured my fear of cats by being huge dorky sweethearts, they’re absolutely amazing

[depp-could-get-it]

Tumblr deleted my long ass rant while I was in the middle of writing it so you’re spared and will only get a summed up version

Long story short; your abs are supposed to be covered with a healthy, protective layer of fat. The shape Jason Momoa is in during his movies is achieved by a diet designed to lower his body fat to unhealthy numbers, dehydrating him and enhancing his abs with make up. This is what ripped, muscular, healthy person looks like on their off time. If you think this is a dad bod, for the love of everything that is holy, shut up and absolutely never comment on a man’s body ever again. I mean hell, you can still see his damn v-line, what fucking dad bod has that?!

Don’t believe me? Google some bodybuilders who are off their contest diet. The men who literally make a living for having defined muscles. For 360 days a year, they do not look like the way you think they do. During a bodybuilding contest, these men’s body fat is under 7%, they’re dehydeated and covered in fake tan that helps the muscles show up. And it’s literally only for that day, because it’s extremely unhealthy. Same goes for actors who are known for being ripped - they’re at their worst when they’re filming. This exact same shit happened with Vin Diesel few years ago with people getting a paparazzi shot of his “beer belly” and I’m genuinely worried of the young men who grow up in this society thinking being muscular means having defined abs 24/7.

Jason Momoa looks ripped and healthy, yall are just blind with unrealistic standards.

[profeminist]

“This is what actors (& models & bodybuilders) do. If you see them with razor cut abs, they have been on a low carb, water-reducing diet to get there. You cannot retain that and be healthy. When we shot WOLVES, Jason asked me, “Do I have to have abs n’ shit for this?” I said no.”

-  David Hayter, director, Wolves

“The wood chopping scene in The Wolverine was all the footage they could get before Hugh Jackman passed out from dehydration. Dehydration and steroids are the big secret behind Hollywood muscle definition.”

-  My name is Grant‏

“Yeah there was a huge piece a few years ago about the prevalence of doping in the aftermath of Dark Knight (roughly), it became an arms race of every male actor going on roids for definition. Compare Jackman in XMen 1 from 2000 to him in Logan, for example.”

I like how they call starvation and dehydration a “trick” :)))))))))

[thiswaycomessomethingwicked]

I KNOW. Fucking killed me. “There’s this neat trick where we encourage disordered eating and dehydration. That’s what bodies should look like!!! This is the Norm!!”

[bogleech]

Wait so that text wasn’t from a criticism of abusive practices?? It was just “here’s how we did this neat-O special effect!!!!!” ???!???

[maid-of-timey-wimey]

This is the male equivalent of “magazine cover models are all airbrushed and/or starving” and needs to be spread just as much.

[i-rathernot-say]

The beauty standards of the patriarchy are fucking trash. Jason still looks great. And I hope guys aren’t looking to meet this impossible standard.

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

[officialdamonalbarn]

THANK YOU

[hickeywiththegoodhair]

somebody please explain

[dykemisspiggy]

Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

[iwilltrytobereasonable]

…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

[caecilius-est-pater]

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.

[crtter]

In case anyone’s curious, here’s what it looks like when you walk past it irl:

It does have a 3D effect to it! It’s pretty neat, guess it would be even more impressive to people from the 14th century.

[momentofmemory]

ahhhhh it’s my favourite painting on my dash!! strap in folks it’s nerd commentary time!!

so there’s like a billion and one things going on in this painting (because it’s the middle of the renaissance and they got a li’l excited) so let’s break this down.

first off, it was painted smack dab in the middle of the renaissance (1533) which means people-with-money are interested in two primary things:

Self-Knowledge

Knowledge of God

this is important and will explain 90% of everything going on (the remaining 10% is just the painter showing off).

okay, so first off it’s called ambassadors because on either side we have a)a stately, educated man of the world, and b)a religious figure head. who precisely they were was up for debate for like 300 hundred years and isn’t really the point. what is the point is that one of them represents the best of man, and the other the best from God; they therefore are ambassadors of these two facets, and to prove their excellence, we have all the items on the shelves.

on the top shelf we’ve got a celestial globe, a sundial, a quadrant, a torquetum, etc. these are all things focused on learning the up there, the things beyond this world but yet are still scientific that humans are categorizing.

meanwhile on the bottom shelf, we’ve got the awesome things of human learning on earth: a terrestrial globe, a book of mathematics for merchants, a lute, hymnal, etc.

the point of having all these things is to show off the glory of human excellence when it comes to learning and also the artist’s ability to paint details. you’ve got the full trivium of learning going on: grammar, logic, rhetoric; and then also the quadrivium: geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy. everything is balanced.

H O W E V E R.

holbein is also problematizing human learning even as he’s extolling its virtues. for example, we have a broken string on the lute:

the instrument settings on the polyhedral sundial are actually wrong:

and, most importantly, that mother effing skull.

so the skull represents a couple things.

first, perspective was all 👏 the 👏  rage 👏  during the renaissance, and the better you were at it, the higher respect you got. so if you could draw something like this (which a previous commenter is correct, it was hung by a staircase so you would see it as you passed by), you automatically got that sweet sweet street cred. also if you don’t think it’s impressive that he could paint this by hand, you try it because dear lord it’s not fun pls pls professor let us go back to normal still lifes we’ll never complain about onion skins and tomatoes ever again aaaaaugh—

um so second, this is a form of memento mori, or vanitas, meaning “remember you must die” and “vanity” (a reference to ecclesiastes), respectively. the point of painting these was to remind the owner that they are mortal, and that time is short — and that no matter how much human knowledge they accumulated (the shelves), nothing could stop death.

side note: the placement of the skull is also important. the skull is a reference to death, the end of life, so it’s placed on the floor. compare this to michelangelo’s creation of adam, which is a reference to the beginning of life, and is placed on the sistine chapel’s ceiling. 

for life you look up, for death you look down.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, we get to the last thing this painting is hiding:

a crucifix, tucked away in the top left corner so that you can barely see it, but once you do, you can’t unsee it. because, once again, this is the middle of the renaissance: holbein wants to stress both the importance of human knowledge (plato’s know thyself), and its limits (calvin’s ‘man never has clear knowledge of self until he has seen God’s face’). remember knowledge, remember death, remember christ.

and remember how good of a painter he is he needs more patrons.

anyway i could wax poetic about this painting for literal hours (the one and only time i saw it in person i wound up explicating to random viewers bc i can’t help myself and y’know they were receptive), so yeah. there’s the cliff notes version.

[stephrc79]

How many of you just tilted your computer to make the skull appear?

Hey everyone. This page is from a story about a queer flower shop witch named Eloisa that I worked on with my partner, Yeon Kyung Charlotte Cha. It’s part of a collection of over 200 pages of comics by almost 30 creators and it needs your help to make it to its goal!  We’ve got just 10 days left to meet it, so if you could check out the kickstarter (and possibly pledge), it would mean a lot to us! Reblogs and retweets help so much. More about the project from the Publisher (Power & Magic Press) : “POWER & MAGIC: The Queer Witch Comics Anthology is a series of Young Adult fantasy comics starring queer witches of color. The witch is a symbol of power for women across the world: she represents defiance, transcendence, healing, feminine monstrosity, and connection with the natural and supernatural worlds. From her wands and flora, to her bonds of kinship, POWER & MAGIC Volume 2 explores what gives each witch her power, and how she’ll choose to use it.

I just heard that sound in my head. Chur-CHING! My Mother used to type things up on her typewriter, and fix her typos with white-out.

[boomcameoss]

also people really seem to think that specifically children with adhd will suddenly become not distractable if you remove distractors like phones which is very much not the case lol they just zone out you idiots.

[bat-demon]

my parents did this with homework and i would sit there zoned out till 10 pm not doing shit because they turned the internet off

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Neurotypical people tend to not understand that my ability to focus on something I’m not particularly motivated to do will increase tenfold if I can have a secondary task or background distraction with which to pair it. So, for example, if I’m in a boring meeting or have to listen to a webinar or something, my ability to stay tuned in to what’s being said will actually improve greatly if I’m simultaneously allowed to play a game or colour. Likewise, if I have a boring work project that involves inputting data into spreadsheets or something of that nature, I absolutely need to be able to listen to a podcast whilst I work. People think these sorts of things are signs of not being invested, but for me, it’s the difference between engagement and zoning out. 

[allthemarvelousrage]

Also see: why I need music to work.

[sith-shenanigans]

……oh.

[doomhamster]

When I started my online program to become a pharmacist, I was a bit worried (and sundry family members were a LOT worried) that I wouldn’t be able to focus enough to keep up with recorded lectures. 

As it turns out I did *better* than I ever had with face-to-face education because I could do low-focus things like knit or play World of Warcraft while listening to lectures. (Also, canned lectures can be stopped or rewound as many times as you need to, which is rarely the case with live professors.)

[star-anise]

The best way to ensure that a child pays attention is to remove environmental distractions, like some big flapping noisy paper model hanging from your ceilings or a seatmate who kicks and pokes them. But then you give them the tools they need to self-regulate; they can determine what level of sensory input they need to obtain the best possible focus, whether that’s folding their legs up in their chair, putting on headphones, or playing with a fidget toy. Because if they’re not focusing as well, they can do something else. They can take the headphones off, put the toy down, shift their legs.

If a child can’t control a distraction? Yes, handle it for them. Shut the door to block out loud noise, turn off commercial radio, adjust the air conditioning. If they can control it? Leave it up to them.

[sailoryue]

A terrible thing to put an ADHD child: the isolation cubicle (for testing..) it’s essentially a ¾ cardboard box they use so you can’t look at anything. 90% of the time I could not focus and comprehend what I was reading and failed those tests. Pretty sure that shitty thing is why I’m claustrophobic

[skull-bearer]

I went to a business meeting some years back and the guy giving the lecture gave out a whole bunch of stimulation toys and say ‘I don’t like people doodling, so please play with these while I’m talking’.
