Art blog: @karumizai

I'll reblog everything I post there onto this blog, but if you only want to see my art follow that one instead.

About me

Feel free to refer to me with the name of my art blog or simply the letter K

An adult zoomer. Had internet access a bit too early so my attitude towards tech generally aligns with that of Tumblr's average age demographic

Languages: Georgian, German, English, N4 level JP. I struggle with all of them.

Names, faces, and other important info tend to escape me. I try but, y'know ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Interests: art, animated works, linguistics (to ease my suffering), tech (when it's genuinely useful / funny), and being silly and relaxed

Definitely a weeb but not really keeping up with newer stuff the way I used to

This blog is reblog-heavy for fandom stuff I enjoy, art, as well as classic style textposts. Sometimes I'll write down some thoughts. You might also encounter some rambles about my health, mostly just lamenting my vitamin deficencies.

everyone loves to think of suicidality as this dramatic emergency, but for the chronically suicidal, it just... isn't. it's a regular, often daily part of life. how would you feel if you were told you're not allowed to talk about or mention something that for you is just another tuesday? it'd be pretty frustrating, right?

one thing i love about OTGW is that despite being a story about The Unknown and all the terrible dangers that lurk in it, the story’s main message is “things are rarely as scary as they seem.” the Woodsman scared the boys repeatedly, but he was really a good man trying to help them and in fact saved their lives multiple times. the inhabitants of Pottsville seemed ominous and ill-intentioned, but stopping to speak to them showed that they were benign folks who just came off a little creepy. the “fearsome gorilla” was just a man in a suit and the “ghost” was just an unexpected roommate. even Auntie Whispers, a terrifying witch-woman who seemed to be abusing her ward, turned out to love Lorna and was only trying to protect her from evil forces—and it was Wirt facing the evil spirit head on that finally exorcised it for good.

even the main characters’ arcs reflect this: Wirt is scared of rejection and humiliation from Sara and Jason Funderberker, but after returning to the real world, Sara is more than receptive toward him and Jason Funderberker isn’t even an issue. Beatrice is too ashamed to face her family after turning them all into bluebirds, but at the end of the story it’s such a non-issue for them that they only use the incident to affectionately tease her and everybody is perfectly happy.

and it all cumulates in the final episode when Wirt and Greg finally face the Beast. for the entire series the Beast has been a looming figure of evil, something dark and strange and unimaginably powerful that you never, ever want to meet. but when Wirt actually dares to face the monster head on, not running or hiding or falling for its tricks, he destroys the Beast in less than a minute! the monster that’s been terrorizing the woods for who knows how long, preying on fearful travelers and eating the souls of its victims, is extinguished by simply blowing out a lantern.

OTGW hammers it home that as much as it scares you, you have to face the Unknown in order to move forward. maybe its scary. maybe it will suck. but when you do confront your problems directly, it’s almost as never as bad as it seems.

Holy fuck

This works best if you keep windows closed.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

Better Box Fan Air Purifier

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to

If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.

We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.

[objectconstancy]

theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

I made a friend! Literally!

I finished this brushbuddy art doll earlier this week and he is very cute. It's got a wire armature inside and is fully posable, including the leather fingers and toes. (There are also magnets in the feet to potentially stick it to things later.)

you're not allowed to bring wireless devices into classified areas and a security guy noticed a square phone-ish shape in my pocket so he asked me to show him what it was and i had to show him my can of pocket herring :/

How about Other people start worrying about how I perceive them

[olderthannetfic]

So I decided to start filtering out "*/Reader" on AO3. It works really well for filtering out reader-inserts without needing to filter out a bajillion "Character/Reader" tags. Excellent, excellent.

But this now has me wondering. If I'm looking for ship fic involving a specific character, but I'm not particularly picky about the ship at the moment, could I search for "*/Character" and get all the ship fics involving that character?
