Just a little blog?

You know, I just wanted a place that i can post things to one remember and two, so that I can rant without everyone seeing it. So yup. I doubt I will post anything but word posts but who knows?

My shop will be temporarily closed to protest the newly hiked Etsy fees being enforced! Apparently the millions of dollars worth of passive income that Etsy receives just from our already-existing transaction fees is NOT enough, and they want more. Help out the creatives who host their businesses on Etsy by NOT CROSSING THE PICKET LINE from April 11 - April 18, and spreading the word.

I fucked up. I fucked up so bad. And I keep fucking things up. I wish I was better at being a friend and I wish I didn’t keep letting things overwhelm me. And I wish I could remember to be more considerate of the people I think of as friends.

Like holy fuck I messed up and I admitted it, I realised it almost as soon as it happened and I apologised and I can’t believe I’m a fucking horrid person like this all the time. I need to get into therapy bc I’ll get anxious about people and put it in a box an just not think about it and things like this happen.

But im also conflicted on if I should be feeling as bad and taking the blame for everyone.

why is it only my fault? Why is it that people almost double my age are just allowing me to take the blame alone? Like yeah, I could have invited our friend to write a plot with us— yeah it was my idea to invite them into the plot line— but why did it fall on only me? Anyone else could have made the chat. Anyone else could have invited said friend to the chat we were using.

Whatever— I’m fucking awful and I’m stupid sometimes I’ll admit it because it’s true— that doesn’t make me feel any better. I still hurt someone bc i was inconsiderate. Like if the inconsideration was because of the fact that I’m working 40 hours and I have a full time school schedule— oh fucking well. I have plenty of excuses to help explain myself— I understand that— but it doesn’t change the fact that I hurt my friend. Even if I wasn’t alone in it. And that just fucking sucks

[tooquirkytolose]

I haven't seen anything about it here, but i just wanted to bring attention to some racist bullshit that happened at a local highschool on friday (8/20/21)

Some high school kids from Salinas High took a black babydoll to a football game, drew all over it (house arrest ankle bracelet etc), ran it over, stomped on it, took selfies with it and named it shaniqua. They posted it all on a now deleted insta page

AND if that weren't bad enough!! During the game one of the black football players from the rival school was injured badly enough to be taken away in an ambulance, and students started posing for pictures in front of it

It's widely known in town that this school has racist students/staff, please let them know that they need to do something about it this time:

You can email the principal at [email protected]

Call the school at 831-796-7405

Or fax at 831-796-7405

Contact the superintendent at: [email protected]

And call the salinas union high school district at 831-769-7000

Or fax at 831-797-7005

I need fucking help. Asap.

I have a broken tooth, none of the cost of the procedure is covered, and I only have 700 in my savings account. I need 6500 bucks ASAP so I can get this thing fixed. I need full anaesthesia as well as a root canal and crown. Thats how much that costs. No i cannot travel to get it done internationally for multiple reasons. No i cannot forgo the anaesthesia.

Please boost, and donate if you can. I'm officially panicking over this, because the nerve is now exposed and im in a Lot of pain.

P*ypal

Dm for e-transfer information (Canadian, email)

[tsitsho]

Update: it broke even further and is even More painful now and I went to the ER and... Not only did the do nothing to help the tooth in any way, and give me nothing to lessen the pain. But they prescribed me meds I am. Actively allergic to? And they're aware of this? So now I can barely eat for the next three days until the dental clinic is open on tuesday because it's a long weekend and the "emergency" dental clinic I know of actually is by referral only.

[tsitsho]

So I've ended up having to go for ANOTHER consultation unfortunately and thats gonna cost me. Up to 300 bucks. So. Any bit helps.

[tsitsho]

I HAVE NEW PRICES

I HAVE 700 OUT OF 1500 NEEDED for the new dentist! Most of the donations I've gotten so far have gone towards the consult I just got, and the next one I'll be getting to go over the actual sedation information. PLEASE keep sharing, I actually think I can manage it this time with help.

894/1500

American communists are making me soooo angry i don't know how to contain myself. What the actual fuck is wrong with you. How uneducated can u be? How insensitive can you be? How hypocritical can you be? Do you even think for yourself? Or is it some kind of a sick trend - im a commie bc i hate capitalism ahaha. Like shut the fuck up. Just don't talk you are embarrassing yourself. Endorsing an authoritarian regieme that killed millions is not quirky and i do not care how much you hate capitalism. My ancestors didn't endure torture, famine, death and god knows what so that you could make communism part of your quirky personality. I cant believe i have to say this but communism is as bad as nazism. It is. And if you dont know why, go and fucking read about it. Im tired of uneducated teens (and adults!!) making one of the most horrible experiences of my country into a quirky personality trait.

My parents and older cousins didn’t grow up with practically nothing and then suddenly get 30 years of cultural and economic advancement in 1991 for Americans to endorse socialism and say capitalism sucks.

26-year-old Jamarion Robinson’s grandmother Beverly Nixon said her grandson was bipolar and schizophrenic. Still got shot 76 (!!!) times. Would a white person get the same treatment?

The witness said he saw more than a dozen patrol cars at the complex where US Marshals killed Robinson on August 5, 2016. Why were there no behavioral specialist? Surely one of them would know how to interact with a bipolar schizophrenic better than the police.

I’m absolutely disgusted.

Here’s Jamarion’s mother’s GoFundMe in case anyone is willing to help.

Reminder that making false reports to the FBI is a crime. You can face heavy fines for it, you can go to jail for it, and if you’re a minor who is doing this don’t think for a second that your age will protect you (or your parents) from facing legal consequences for your actions.

Reporting someone to the FBI for writing fanfiction about fictional characters—no matter what the content of the fic is—is a crime.

Reporting someone to the FBI for drawing art of fictional characters is a crime.

Reporting someone to the FBI for having a ‘nasty ship’ is a crime.

Reporting the entire AO3 website to the FBI for hosting 'nasty fics’ is a crime.

Reporting adults to the FBI for talking about/engaging with kink with other adults is a crime.

Reporting anyone to the FBI by falsely claiming they are breaking the law when they are not is a crime and when you encourage people to do this you are encouraging them to break the law.

And while it’s probably not illegal to make similar reports to other organizations (such as anti-abuse orgs or organizations whose purpose is to find and catch predators online), when you report people to these places because of the fiction they consume or for any of the previous reasons listed you are still wasting time and resources that could have been used to catch actual criminals and help actual people who are the victims of actual crimes. Every time a worker at one of these organizations has to investigate a report you sent in about someone shipping cartoon characters, that is time they are not spending investigating a report of an actual predator who is actually out there harming real people. That is time they are not spending trying to help a real human being who is actually being victimized.

When you make false reports to the FBI or other organizations, you are actively harming not only other people but also potentially opening yourself up to major IRL legal consequences as well.

Don’t do this. Don’t make posts telling others to do this. It is not a game and this is not behavior that should be taken lightly.

hello, I am Mariany. I was born and raised in Brazil. me and my family are, right now, living under constant threats from local neighbors.

(tradução do post logo abaixo do texto em inglês)

Hi, my name is Mariany Oliveira. I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. More specifically, a region called "baixada fluminense" — a more poor and underdeveloped part from the state. I hate calling it like that, but that's what we are, and right now, my situation gets aggravated by this fact. I am the daughter of Liliane Barboza (39), single mother of two (me (17) and my brother (14)) and she is, as we speak, unemployed. She lost her job she just got at a hotel network in function of COVID-19 and we will stop receiving any form of income starting from January, 2021. That's when the government's beneficial value of R$600,00 (aprox. 112,23 dollars) will stop being distributed to the population and our income will completely freeze. unemployment rate, in Brazil, is almost at 14,4% (dated from oct. 30, 2020) and getting a job is something we try to do everyday (me and mom). I am 17 years old, soon to turn 18 in January of the next year. My plan is to get a job (I've been trying since age 15, when I first got my job license) and try to help me and my family to get out of this hell. We are living under real and serious threats to our lives on a daily basis coming from our door neighbors. The situation is hard to explain, but I'll do my best and I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say since, of course, english is not my first language and I haven't formally studied it yet (it's a plan, though).

Well, everything started when my granduncle married a woman and came to live next to our house. It's LITERALLY by the side of our house. Here in Brazil houses are really made one glued to the other, and sadly, these neighbors are faces we are prone to see everyday. What happens is that his wife, who he has an abusive relationship with, hates us and wants us out of our own houses. This is a very long enmity, it started when they came to live in the house next door, 15 years ago. Ever since she has been known to us for starting fights, throwing insults, making accusations, throwing rocks at our rooftops—her daughter once threw her drink in my grandpa's face (89 at the time, already passed) while shaking and almost breaking our entrance gate—one time I was involved in one of her rage fits. She started screaming her insults at me and that made me cry, so Penha, my grandma, tried to defend me. She made fun of me while threatening to beat up my grandmother (73) together with her son. She has multiple times threatened to "get us out of the house" with dealers and thugs from a local favela and as of today (sun 29, 2020), my mom is worried of what might happen since more threats from her started from 12am and lasted to at least 5pm. We have recordings of the screams, threats and insults, they are all linked down here. My grandma Penha is waiting an audience with a jury to try and get some justice for everything she has done and is threatening to do, but it came to our knowledge today that she didn't even knew she had an audience appointment because her husband (my granduncle) didn't tell her anything about the convocation letter. If she wants, right now, to get out of her house with a knife and start a bloodbath in our home, she can. She can because we have no way of protecting ourselves. The best I can do is to lock my door and watch my grandmother get beaten to death because no one is able to help us.

This is why I'm doing this. This is why I need to do this. My mother wants to build us a wall, but like I said, we can't afford that, we barely can afford our energy bills. Mom thinks that having a wall will make her less angry, will cut the stupid amount of contact we have with her face. 1 real is 0,19 cents (dollar). Please, please, if you can donate ANY value you will have my endless gratitude. I just want this to end, I just want everything to stop. I want to get a job so we can move out of this, but mom wants to keep us safe first. You can message me through tumblr, email and everything you want if you want to talk first. We can facetime, I can explain more details of this 15 year old hell journey my family has been through. My great grandpa died in a place like this. I don't want my grandma to be next. My email and the video/audio recordings are all linked, and the donation link will also be linked down here. Thank you so much for reading my story. If you can't help financially, just please know that you've got my eternal gratitude for reading this. If you can reblog, I would be so thankful, please, help me with just a reblog if you will.

PT-BR

Oi, meu nome é Mariany. Eu nasci e cresci aqui no Brasil. Eu e minha família estamos, neste momento, vivendo sob constantes ameaças vindas de vizinhos.

Oi, meu nome é Mariany Oliveira. Eu sou do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Mais especificamente, de uma região chamada "baixada fluminense" — a parte do estado mais pobre e subdesenvolvida. Eu odeio ter que colocar dessa maneira, mas é o que nós somos, e agora, minha situação ficou ainda mais agravada por conta desse fato. Eu sou filha de Liliane Barboza (39 anos), mãe solteira de dois filhos (eu (17 anos) e meu irmão (14 anos)) e ela está, nesse momento, desempregada. Ela perdeu o emprego que tinha acabado de conseguir em uma rede de hotéis em função da COVID-19, e nós deixaremos de receber qualquer tipo de renda a partir de janeiro de 2021—É quando o valor benéfico do governo de R$ 600,00 vai parar de ser distribuído para a população e nossa renda irá acabar completamente. A taxa de desemprego, no Brasil, como vocês devem saber é de quase 14,4% (datado de 30 out. 2020) e conseguir um emprego é algo que a gente tá tentando fazer todos os dias (eu e minha mãe). Tenho 17 anos, e logo farei 18 em janeiro do ano que vem. Meu plano é conseguir um emprego (venho tentando desde os 15 anos, quando tirei minha carteira de trabalho) e tentar ajudar a mim e minha família a sair desse inferno. A situação aqui é que estamos vivendo diariamente sob ameaças constantes e sérias às nossas vidas, vindas de nossos vizinhos. A situação é difícil de explicar, mas farei o meu melhor e espero que você possa entender o que estou tentando dizer.

Bem, tudo começou quando meu tio-avô se casou com uma mulher e veio morar perto de nossa casa. É LITERALMENTE ao lado da nossa casa. Aqui no Brasil, como vocês devem saber, as casas são feitas literalmente umas coladas na outra e, infelizmente, esses vizinhos são rostos que costumamos ver todos os dias. O que acontece é que a esposa dele, com quem ele mantém um relacionamento abusivo, nos odeia e nos quer fora da nossa própria casa. Esta é uma inimizade muito longa, começou quando eles vieram morar na casa ao lado, há 15 anos atrás. Desde então, ela já começou centenas de brigas, xingou o todo mundo, gritou insultos, fez acusações, atirou PEDRAS nos nossos telhados—inclusive a sua filha uma vez jogou uma bebida na cara do meu avô (89 naquela época, já faleceu) enquanto batia e quase quebrou nosso portão—uma vez fui eu quem me envolvi em um de seus ataques de raiva. Ela começou a gritar seus insultos comigo e isso me fez chorar, então a Penha, minha avó, tentou me defender. Aquela mulher zombou de mim enquanto ameaçava espancar minha avó (73) junto com seu filho, esse que hoje em dia ameaça matar ela. Ela já ameaçou várias vezes "nos tirar de casa" com traficantes e bandidos de uma favela local (literalmente aqui de cima) e, a partir de hoje (dom 29, 2020), minha mãe está preocupada com o que pode acontecer, já que mais ameaças dela começaram a partir do 12h de hoje e durou pelo menos até as 17h da tarde. Temos gravações dos gritos, ameaças e insultos, estão todos linkados aqui nesse post. Minha avó Penha está esperando uma audiência com um júri para tentar obter justiça por tudo que ela fez e está ameaçando fazer, mas soube hoje que ela nem sabia que tinha uma audiência marcada porque seu marido (meu tio-avô) não disse nada a ela sobre a carta de convocação. Se ela quiser, agora mesmo, sair de casa com uma faca e começar um banho de sangue em nossa casa, ela pode. Ela pode porque não temos como nos proteger. Tudo o que eu posso fazer é trancar a porta e ver minha avó ser espancada até a morte porque ninguém pode nos ajudar.

É por isso que estou fazendo esse post e olha, eu nunca pensei que faria isso na minha vida. É por isso que preciso fazer esse pedido. Minha mãe quer construir um muro entre as duas casas, mas como eu disse, não podemos pagar isso, mal podemos pagar as contas de luz. Minha mãe acha que ter uma parede vai deixar a bruxa menos irritada, cortará o tanto de contato que temos com a cara dela. Eu entendo a situação do nosso país e inclusive estou sofrendo por causa dela, por isso, se você quiser não precisa doar nada. Simplesmente reblogue esse post pra que ele alcance pessoas que podem nos ajudar. Por favor, por favor, se você puder e quiser doar QUALQUER valor você terá minha eterna gratidão. Eu só quero que isso acabe, só quero que tudo isso pare. Eu quero conseguir um emprego para que possamos sair disso, mas minha mãe quer nos manter seguros primeiro. Você pode me enviar uma mensagem através do tumblr mesmo, e-mail e tudo o que quiser se quiser conversar primeiro. Nós podemos fazer facetime, eu posso explicar mais detalhes dessa jornada infernal de 15 anos pela qual minha família passou. Meu bisavô morreu nesse inferno. Eu não quero que minha avó seja a próxima. Meu e-mail e as gravações de vídeo/áudio estão todos vinculados, e o link de doação também estará aqui. Muito obrigado por ler a minha história. Se você não pode ajudar financeiramente, saiba que você tem minha eterna gratidão por ler isto. Se você pode reblogar, eu ficarei muito grata, por favor, ajude-me apenas com um reblog, se quiser.

hello everyone

i am a proud mixed Indigenous lesbian. i struggle to announce this. i know my issues are not that big compared to what is going on globally. it’s hard to see your life as worthwhile when, in the grand scheme of things, it is insignificant. but i fear for my life.

yesterday (9/7) i found out i have cervical cancer. after months of waiting for an appointment, despite having known since something was wrong, due to the injustice that is the American healthcare system. it has completely turned my world upside down + shaken me to my core. with every breath i fear the cancer is spreading. i don’t know how long my own body has been killing itself, all i know is that i need to hurry to get the injured parts of it removed. 

my family has built itself from the ground up and is barely managing. especially with the pandemic.. which has taken a tremendous toll on the alaskan economy.. and as farmers, we lack the means to afford the medical care i’m in dire need of. i struggle with my mental health during a normal day, and this news has virtually killed any light i had left. my waking moments have felt like a nightmare. a nightmare with no foreseeable end in sight. 

if there is anyone out there who reads this, by offering your help you are saving me. whether it be by thoughtful sentiments or contributions or spreading this post wherever you can. my life is not in my hands anymore.

thank you for taking the time to read this. i appreciate all of you

Hey, your art is that cute o/ Could you tell me wich software do you use when you draw gifs? *and if you want to do a tutorial...*

heyy thank you! c:

I draw them all in SAI, and animate with PS CS5

I’m guessing you want a gif tutorial aND not a sai one

here’s a tutorial I found, I’m not sure how well it’s explained tho sdks it’s easy to make gifs but it’s kinda long to explain so if you want one made by me just ask!

[ikimaru]

I was wondering, since you make lots of comics and the like, if you might have any sources or advice yourself in understanding how to set up comic panels? I've struggled for forever to figure out the formula, and always hit brick walls of answers that are too vague or say that there aren't hard rules. I understand that, but I still don't understand the 'flow' concept and how that effects panel size or shape. There must be SOME structure, surly! Some concept or formula to creating pages! Help ;-;

hi! well I’m still learning too but usually it depends from page to page and what’s going on in it!

if you want a page to have more breathing room you can even have just 2-3 panels for page, most pages have 4-6 panels (usually never more than 6 regular panels, that’s way too crammed by most comics standards, unless the panels are very “fragmented”, then it can be a few more)

I usually just do very quick sketches and write down some text first the way I imagine them spaced out on the page, then I do some rearranging and sketch the panels around them, so rather than just adapting the picture to the panels, I also adapt the panel to the picture

there’s also something like text to image ratio, if there’s too much text I prefer to have it spaced out through more pages rather than covering half of the same page with text skdjf

the panels related to flow part is tricky to explain bc a larger panel can be for reasons like context (background, other characters), and be a “slow”/still panel but it could also be a more action-y panel and stuff like that

and ngl a lot of panels will just be rectangles when characters are talking or if the pacing is slow

this variant is also common

the other kinds of panels are usually just if it’s an action page of some sort

there’s also stuff like personal preference etc, hope this helps lmaoo
