The witch and the chimera 🔮🐓

I wanted to draw them in these outfits for a longtime already 🥹 I miss them so so much 🤍

hair notes.

varying effect based on hair type. listed according to my experience.

gravity.

volume.

cling.

*pattern.

when possible, plan for the slant cut which produces a tapered end to have the longer strands curl at the bottom, curling edge. thus the curve of the taper will be defined by the whole of that unbroken strand.

(the opposite produces a jaggy curve, consistent of the tips of many strands. it may be itchy if it falls against skin. if you desire this effect, you may do so.)

when leaving long hair under short hair, consider the experience of tying it up. will it be difficult to gather the short strands above it? will you have to?

when cutting hair at the back of your head.

it is. difficult. you can't see. maneuvering is challenging. stick to simpler choices.

when cutting hair short, you can no longer pull the ends from the sides around to the front after seizing it in the desired position. likely, you will struggle to position the scissors correctly. the back is worse.

i will continue, because it is nearly free, and i am not part of any organisation with a dress code.

gravity vs curl vs cling affects direction of fall

volume affects puff

pattern affects segment tendency

current state of experiment.

comparison of diagonal cut x fall.

hair at back short.

to explore: effect on tying up, breaking segments apart

hair allowed to be separated by gaps which join the Long segment.

hair at back even shorter.

if 'shorter' is not feasible, leave to join Long segment to tie up. CONSIDER exploring this before short and logging the results, actually, as long can be made short, but short cannot be made long.

consider:

thinning scissors that is longer and doesn't get stuck, for easier volume adjustment. point cut is. especially not easy at odd angles.

flarebean

consulted another long hair enjoyer.

decision: do not retrim the Back portions, allow them to rejoin the Long Segment

this removes the requirement of the technique of using a ponytail to ensure an unbroken line from one side to the other.

i intend to cut the Sides to different lengths on purpose, regardless, so this does not impact that either.

i may consider matching the endpoints (point most backwards on the side), however, which bears further thought.

decision: do attempt the segment-separation; allow separating strands to join the Long Segment.

setting reblog for half a year, as a reminder. is it long enough yet?

flarebean

it's too late past me. i chopped my fringe right across my eyebrows to see how it would look.

so far i. don't like it. it's ok. just another three to five months. then i can. do something else.

back end is in the process of growing back out. it's going?

flarebean

setting my next reminder. How's it, future me

some meals that make it a little easier to cut food costs:

pizza (no knead dough, tomato sauce, cheese)

homemade bread (no knead | hand kneaded | stand mixer) (flour, yeast, water, sugar, salt) (if you struggle to get through homemade (preservative-less) bread before it goes stale, know that it freezes very well as long as you slice it first)

rice pudding (milk, rice, sugar, spices)

bread pudding (bread, milk, eggs, sugar, spices) (good way to use up homemade bread when it goes stale)

chili (meat (optional), onion, beans, canned tomatoes, spices)

meal prep fried rice (protein, rice, frozen vegetables, egg, spices)

clairelutra

mac & cheese (pasta, milk, cheese)

bean & cheese burritos (beans, cheese, salsa, tortillas, spices)

tuna salad (tuna, mayo, lemon juice) (eat on bread or with crackers)

egg salad (hardboiled eggs, mayo, mustard) (eat on bread or crackers)

the chili makes a big batch, and it can be frozen and/or repurposed in:

loaded baked potatoes

chili cheese fries

nachos

chili dogs

how to make...

beans (pinto, black, kidney, garbonzo/chickpeas)

lentils

white rice on the stove

brown rice on the stove

pie crusts

flour torillas

yogurt (+ greek yogurt; start with the first link, then skip to step 9 on the second)

oatmeal

bechamel sauce (aka cream sauce for baked mac & cheese, scalloped potatoes, and poor man's alfredo)

cheap(ish) thanksgiving/christmas staples:

the aforementioned mac & cheese, bread pudding, rice pudding, and homemade bread, plus-

scalloped potatoes (high effort but cheap + delicious)

candied sweet potatoes

green bean casserole

turkey (cheap this time of year!)

Dollar Tree Dinners (youtube | tiktok | insta) has a lot of ways to repurpose a storebought rotisserie chicken - and budget holiday meals! - and her thing is to only assume you have oil, salt, and pepper

Julia Pacheco (youtube | website) has a lot of good survival budget meals

TheWolfePit (youtube) also has a survival budget meal series

r/EatCheapandHealthy, r/Frugal, and r/MealPrepSunday are also good resources (r/MealPrepSunday isn't budget-focused but search "cheap"/"budget"/etc and there's stuff)

all of these should be doable with an oven and/or stove top + utensils you can get from dollar tree, no specialty equipment.

stay safe and stay fed!

OH MY GOD I’M SAVING ALL OF THESE RN

*gripping my hands so hard on a young trans persons shoulders that their bones are about to break*

do not log on to 4chan.com. do not get involved in passing olympics. you will always lose. do not put afab/amab/tma/tme, that is cisgender society trying to know your “real” gender. you do not exist to please cisgender people. there is no ‘right’ way to be trans. learn your goddamn history, listen to your elders. listen to other disenfranchised groups. listen to intersex people and check yourself for intersexism. listen to trans poc and check yourself for racism. listen to disabled people and check yourself for ableism. be open to learning always. labels are meant to fit you, not the other way around. you are not weird or predatory for simply being attracted to others. you’re fine if you’re not a skinny white twink or a barbie doll. you’re fine if your body is ‘weird’. you’re fine if you don’t have heavy or any dysphoria. it’s okay if you actually don’t want to transition or anything like that. life is worth living at any stage, you deserve to be happy. I SWEAR THAT YOU ARE OKAY!!!!!

gezergiz

rbing to remind y’all not to get caught in terf doomscrolls, don’t believe in autogynephilia/autoandrophilia (beyond fun, cool forcemasc/forcefem stuff made by trans people), don’t believe in weird repressive ideas in transness and don’t police or be policed by others when it comes to gender identity and expression. kay bye :3

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Read the nazis lips. He says “I don’t want any trouble.” Then why t.f. does he stand in the street with that crap around his arm?

I rambled about this in tags on another post but I can’t emphasize enough how only focusing on large-scale issues WILL lead to hopelessness & burnout. Activism must include small-scale, achievable works. If you don’t have something you can get your hands around and look at directly, despair will eat you alive.

luulapants

I want to elaborate here for people who don’t think they’re capable of practical activism due to disability: what a LOT of volunteer groups need most is clerical and logistical support. Maybe you can’t get down to the river to pick up trash, but how about working the sign-up table? Or sending out email reminders or creating promotional graphics? How about making calls to the city to get funds for supplies?

Many volunteer groups rely on retired people to run their day-to-day functions, so as the economy worsens and retirement ages go up, charities are feeling the squeeze as their aging participants aren’t replaced. If you’re unable to work full-time due to disability but have the means to attend a zoom meeting once a month and take minutes, there’s an activist group that needs you. If you don’t have the financial means to donate to charities you care about, there’s a local advocacy group that needs help deciding how to allocate donation funds.

If you’re not sure how you or your disability can fit into a group, call and ask. My prison book group works from a basement that isn’t wheelchair accessible, so when I was unable to do stairs last year, I built them a database.

You can help and you are needed.
