Pipe Dream No. 20

So I guess Tumblr is the new thing? Baa, baa. Now I have one too :3

Happy Fursuit Friday, and Happy First Anniversary/Birthday to Pixen! If 2020 had gone differently, @bootsyg90 and I would have been celebrating the special day at Aurawra convention. Next year for sure! #furry #pixen #purplepixen #fennec #fennecfox #purplefennecfox #ausfur #ausfurry #fursuit (at Bundeena, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDA4UnWl-3B/?igshid=14jnsythgadpt

I think I have a fetish strong interest for glitch aesthetics

Like, not in a sexual way, but damn if the last scene of this doesn’t rile me the hell up. Why do I love that imagery and sound so much?!

I blame encountering missingno when I was barely in my double digits 😂

Dedicated to everyone going through tough times; hope this silly few moments of pitch-altered furry trash having a gabba reminds you that even solo dance parties can sometimes include the best kind of surprise guests wanting in on the fun!

I’ve been away but the fox/seagull gryphon crossed my dash and this morning I made some trash gryphons.

[pipedreamno20]

Oh my god, it’s freakin Stormwind ❤️

That’s it, trash gryphon is my new headcanon for her.

Buzz might still be alive

Someone living close to where he escaped more than two years ago saw a male alexandrine flocking with the native lorikeets today in their lemon tree and nobody else has lost one in the area

I don’t know what emotion this is

https://youtu.be/KHD2VRJvPUU For anyone doubting that kids verbally bullying other kids isn't as horrendous or couldn't possibly leave the same marks as physically bullying... try hearing 'shut up Pip, nobody likes you' 'go away' for close to two years running because since some cartoon characters said it so that makes it A-OK. I mean, it feels completely stupid to be affected by it now, of course. And South Park is hilarious (if not exactly for pre-teen children...). But back then it didn't feel stupid, and to be totally honest hearing that 'nobody likes you' quote in that nasally, scratchy voice that was parroted incessantly in the classroom - suddenly I am transported right on back. Decades later. Don't bully, y'all. Teach your kids not to bully. That shit sticks one way or another.

Four months of work later, the next segment of ‘W.A.T.S.O.N Your Mind?’ Episode 1 is finished! Time to get a little insight into one of Kyler’s biggest problems. New to the series? Don’t start here! You can read about WYM and see all previous footage at watsonyourmind.niftihalostudios.com

Huge thanks to @mactheactor​ for pointing me in the direction of a good VA recruiting place, to Adam and Belsheber for voicing Nolan and Greg respectively, to @joncausith​ for tapping into the most worn out parts of his soul *booted* and to Skye, for drafting a beautifully heartrending melody in a tight schedule.

Bonus content such as animatic and commentary will show up in due time. For now, I need to take a break from the project. ¦D       

[pipedreamno20]

Yay!

(Kyler has doodle-hand even in times of stress...) :3

Aaaaaand here’s the attempt using my actual head voice... hope my Japanese isn’t too awful...

I found my USB mic and inevitably got up to some cringy shenanigans like ruining beautiful Japanese guitar numbers...

I caved and put obnoxious selfies up on Tumblr after the hairdresser made my absolute week by giving me this awesome style from just one reference photo off Google... ❤️

Here’s a question I need to ask for peace-of-mind reasons:

This is a question for any of you guys out there with a job right now, a good paying job, doesn’t matter if it’s full or part time: Is there anyone among you who actually likes working where you are now? Is there a moment in your life where you think to yourself “Man, I do not regret working here, not one bit?”

The reason I ask is that the people I talk to, and the media I grew up watching, always tells me that having a job is a stressful, terrible experience. And I’m on the cusp of finding one myself, and this thought has been plaguing my mind ever since: what if it’s something I’m going to regret having? What if I’m taken advantage of? What if I throw away my life trying to earn a survivable income?

What if I’m a slave to my job?

And then I thought I’m just being paranoid. So I thought I’d ask you guys what your experience working is like. Just so I can have a good mindset and hopefully some reassurance that everything will be okay going into the workforce. Can you help a brother out?

[pipedreamno20]

Just in case this helps. Only in my humble opinion. Try not to stress about working! It is possible to find something out there that can be a bill-rent-general-expenses payer that is pleasant enough, even enjoyable and still find plenty of time to do stuff for yourself. Sometimes it can even benefit you. I'm mostly introverted but actually really love one of my casual positions working behind a newsagency counter in my village. My boss is wonderful and so chilled and friendly, I'm motivated to do well, and chatting to a wide variety of people that come in (locals and tourists) is actually pretty good for me and my mental health. My other jobs (I have lots of little casual positions rather than one mon-fri full time thing) are tricky at times but still differently enjoyable since some involve my creative hobbies and skills.

Yes there are pitfalls of course, not going to sugarcoat the workforce: say if you find a position that requires you to "take work home with you" since we only have so much time in the day! It sometimes help to do something as a job that you don't absolutely love doing in your spare time so you don't burn out and lose motivation once you're home and free. Also general money and time balances can potentially be an issue but just stay on it and stay aware and it shouldn't be a big problem. It is really helpful to feel fulfilled in your job and be proud in it because that motivates you! Even if it's something you didn't envision yourself doing.

Hope it helps.

Writing post that I didn't want to put on facebook

It was only last night in bed trying to sleep that I discovered why these characters were motivated to act the ways they did in the first draft. Am yearning to tell their story better this time around as was just pantsing them from the get go - they didn't exist until the very last moment during the NaNo process. Very invested in these and other characters. More so than I've been for a while. Makes me remember the days when that brimming excited feeling about most facets of the creative process motivated everything. The urge to write, draw, put some sort of content on physical or digital paper. Because Stormwing actually lightly bonded with Sondar to keep him from lapsing into unconsciousness and freezing to death. Out of sheer selfishness, of course, at the time; she needed his warmth to see her survive the night. But she only realises the other bond-partner ramifications later and for a proud sparrow gryphon they're almost too much to bear. I may have to change Stormwing's name as it's the species name from a fantasy book series I devoured as a child. (Wild Magic) Wonder if I could get away with using Stormwind instead? Her full name at the moment is Stormwing Threshclaw of Lightning Clan which is a somewhat nod to the Redwall series with all those awesome beastie names and a poke at the sparrow gryphon's puffed up attitude. "Little Bird Syndrome". This may be a story whose bones have been fleshed out by others countless times before. But I'm doing my best to put a nifty Pip spin on it. Nobody said this process of rewriting would be an easy one. But I really want to have it done and dusted by the time I hit dirty thirty.

The Birth of Mewtwo: Lost Creation Radio Drama - Drill Soul

In 1998, The Birth of Mewtwo, a Pokémon radio drama, broadcast in Japan but never made it to America. Theditor and I are changing that.

Just chanced upon this whilst browsing to see if anyone had transcribed the snippet of folk music written in honour of Mew in-universe playing behind Madame Boss explaining about the phantom Pokémon to Miyamoto. What a whopping project! I wonder if things are happening behind the scenes... 

It would be amazing, absolutely AMAZING, for a translated/redone version to hit the scene. Had a brief look around for further updates but couldn’t find any.
