Do puppets have souls?

Want to ask The Professor from Puppet History a question? Well, it’s too late. His Answer Time is over. You snoozed on this one big time, bud. 

Luckily for you, there’s still time to watch all of the videos featuring questions from people who had their life together enough to submit on time.

Okay, I am so confused at this point. So, my lovers accepted my proposal, like two weeks ago right? Recently I’ve had a personal problem (Surgery), and I haven’t been able to move around as much. Like, this week my non-binary lover broke it off with me and my other fiance. After having a whole ass spill to me about not breaking up with them after proposing, they break it off with me just like that. I have never opened myself up for anyone more than I have for the two of them. My fiance and I are absolutely devastated... It’s been hard for the two of us and we’ve been pretty depressed.

You guuuys! I’m so happy! I will admit a few things, before I tell you why. First thing, I haven’t been feeling all that well as of late and won’t be posting too often, as today doing make-up was about as hard as drawing a masterpiece in ten minutes. Secondly, what’s making me so happy, happened about one and a half weeks ago. Finally, I am telling you the truth when I say I’m just a teen. I proposed to both my girlfriend and my non-binary lover and they said yes!!! I was just laying down thinking about it and I just can’t contain my absolute joy! I had a Halloween party and only the two of them showed up, but they looked so lovely! I wish I was able to describe to you how pretty my girlfriend looked with make-up and all dressed up, or my enbyfriend and how they looked so cute with their happy face and cute outfit! I went with my people’s tradition to hand make something that they could wear with little to no discomfort daily, in my case a ribbon collar. They looked so darling when wearing them! I felt so happy, because I’m so emotionally close with them and I was glad to have made the both of them so happy! We hung out for hours, played games, ate some home made pastries and cuddled. I feel like, this memory of mine will probably be with me for the rest of my life and so on!

It’s actually really important to understand that purring does not equal happiness. Cats will purr even when sick or injured, so don’t take purring as guarantee that your cat likes what you’re doing. Be sure to pay attention to other signals your cat is communicating as well.

Turning that into a Star Trek headcanon but remember the all vulcan purring headcanon.

One word: Spock

[mayapleiades]

After the third consecutive time Jim gets seriously injured on an away mission, Spock starts stress purring as soon as Jim mentions joining the away team. He stops after a few seconds, as soon as he realises he’s done it. It’s a mistake that leaves the entire bridge crew confused, but they brush it off pretty quickly. Spock, embarrassed, offers only a token resistance to Jim’s joining the away team, and vows never to let it happen again.

Three months later it happens again, and then again, and again. Spock finds it difficult to suppress the instinct - it’s vestigial, almost like goosebumps for humans, and he only catches himself doing it after he’s already started. So much for the famous Vulcan ability to control every single body function, Michael would tease.

It grows worse for a while after he thinks he’s killed Jim on the red sands of Vulcan. He starts purring every single time Jim enters his field of vision - not an entirely happy sound. It’s a combination of relief and guilt and the urge to stop Jim from ever leaving his field of vision ever again. Then, as always, he suppresses the urge, and grows quiet again. He’s never been so thankful as then that Humans don’t have as good a hearing as Vulcans; the crew has yet to suspect anything. Except perhaps Jim. But Jim has always been incredibly perceptive.

It never becomes as manageable as it was before, but then it rears its ugly head again when Jim is lost to the interphase in Tholian space and presumed dead. Again. Jim’s own mortality is distressing, and for some reason, it… doesn’t stop. He has a stress purr always in the back of his throat nowadays. He never wants Jim to leave. He never wants Jim to leave him.

He allows himself to stress purr out loud in the privacy of his quarters, when he’s off-duty, before he starts his daily meditation session. A part of him, that sounds suspiciously like his father, can’t help but consider it a failure of his Vulcan control. Another part, which sounds like his mother instead, says that if his body has an urge there must be a reason, and he’d better let it run its course if it will help him get better.

It does help him get better. It helps him so much that he includes it as part of his own routine - and that’s how Jim finds him one night, when he comes into his quarters for a surprise visit.

“Spock, I need your signature for - Spock, are you purring?”

Spock - who had been so into his routine he had given Jim permission to enter without even thinking - stops abruptly, the shame almost threatening to swallow him. He doesn’t answer.

Jim comes closer, awed. “I never knew Vulcans could purr.”

Spock finds his own voice again. It is pained. “It is not usually done in front of outworlders, sir.”

“Right, right. You’re all very private, and all that.”

“Yes, sir.”

Then Jim lights up, as if he’s just thought of something. “Can I ask you a question?”

“If you must,” Spock allows. Only because it’s Jim.

“Is the reasoning for your purring similar to that of Terran cats?”

“Very similar,” Spock concedes. Of course Jim is curious about it.

Jim, somehow, becomes at the same time bashful and delighted. Spock is almost blinded by that level of emotion.

“I know it is illogical, but Spock, are you purring because you’re happy? Well, satisfied? Here, on the Enterprise?”

Spock could not explain what happens to his body at that moment. He cannot lie, not to Jim. But he also knows that if he were to be completely honest, the truth would erase Jim’s wonderful expression, and as much as it is almost uncomfortable for him to look at such levels of naked emotions… it’s Jim’s. He cannot do that.

He decides to go for a version of the truth. “Happiness is an emotion and as you know, Vulcans do not feel. Nevertheless, I am indeed satisfied by my place on the Enterprise.”

It is not a lie, after all. He trusts that Jim will reach his own conclusions by filling in the gaps he’s left knowingly empty.

Jim smiles, a bright, shining thing that comes from the depth of his being and makes his eyes sparkle. For the first time, Spock wants to purr because of pure happiness, and it’s so unexpected and so pole-axing that he can’t keep it in. It slips out, a sweet, relaxed rumble that comes from deep in his chest.

It takes them both by surprise - Spock, because it’s so different from his normal purring, so deep and breathy instead of fast and desperate; Jim, because he clearly was not expecting for Spock to start purring now.

Spock finally manages to get it under control and the purring stops abruptly. The silence is deafening.

Then Jim comes close and gently - hesitantly, Spock wouldn’t dare say - puts his hands on Spock’s arms. Looking at him from under his eyelashes as he so often does.

“Are you… happy… here, with me?” Jim murmurs. Hesitant; yes. Spock is scared, and hopeful, and terrified, and yes, maybe… maybe he’s also happy.

Spock nods.

Jim’s lips melt into Spock’s with a gentleness that makes Spock ache. Spock leans into him, but Jim retreats.

“Am I being presumptuous?” He asks. He’s checking in.

Spock shakes his head. “No, Jim.”

Jim smiles his sunshine smile, his heart in his eyes. “Good, then.”

And he kisses Spock again.

Spock is pretty sure that his purring can be heard from the Bridge, but he can’t help it. He’s happy.

I have a really old cat, her name is Janet and she has mostly lost her voice. Every once in a while when I can tell she is in pain and can’t move around as much for the day, she will start to purr to get me to stay in the room and keep her safe. I treat every noise I hear from my cat as though it were a sign. My cat only tries to make noise to get my attention. Janet also has a bad coughing problem and I like to rub soothingly along her ribs and spine. It seems to calm her down but I’m not sure how to help the coughing. I fear for the day that my cat is taken from me, yet I know that the day is soon. I can feel her slipping, her sadness, her pain. Janet shows it all to me, and yet all I can do is be there for her in the last of her life. I have known Janet for eight years now and I’m just glad that she chose me of all people to be with her.

Here she is!

Sexy Wolf?

So I was playing around with cropping my shirt right? And then I was like, “You know what would go good with this? My dominant wolf cosplay!”

Then, on top of that I started to pose with my hand cuffs. UwU

What do ya’ll think?

hot girl summer is over it’s scary woman winter

[somethgrexdom]

You guys have no idea, I live in Utah. Those of you who don’t ever see snow where you live, have no idea how scary a cold girl is. Take it from the warm guy. It starts out all cute when one finds out your the warm guy, but then they call their friends over and you become the heater for several girls and if you try to leave you are given the death stare, like you have no choice.

Date Night...

I had planned out an entire date with my girlfriend yesterday, I had worked to make sure everything was perfect to the very last minute, she has been really down recently and I wanted to cheer her up with a good day. Then our date got cancelled. I do not blame her, I blame her mother.

This is some serious tea, but her mother apparently grounded her, half an hour before our date because she didn’t have all of her school work caught up. We have all these big projects and things that aren’t even due until next month and her mom expects her to have them done.

Well, all day I had been baking a German chocolate cake, I made sandwiches, I cleaned my room, I got a new mattress, I had to sew the bag I planned on using closed, I was dressed really nice and I had some fancy cologne on. We were both super disappointed, so I ended up just stopping by her place instead. I gave her one of my hoodies for the lack of my company along with the cake and sandwiches. 

I’m not going to lie, if I could have stayed longer I would have. I love my girlfriend to pieces and I would travel to the ends of the Earth and back for her. I would have walked to her school today, but my feet are blistered and tender from walking in heeled boots for more than four hours two days in a row.

I sent her some snacks and candy today, hopefully she enjoys!

This person (My Ex, I’m going to call her “Blake” because she goes by that.) has the audacity. To call me an abuser, and then, insult the LGBTQ+ community by telling me that I refuse to accept the fact that I was born female when I am Trans. Blake insults my height knowing full well that the reason I’m 5′02″ is because I have a long line of shorter Asians.  She insults my mental disorder by laughing at it and calling me a bitch, or a female dog.

She keeps telling people that I abused her and all I did was disagree and have a different view on something.

Blake got upset at me because I defended myself when she asked me questions about my past that made me uncomfortable. I have problems where I have an anxious reaction when reminded of my past and she constantly pushed me about it making it seem as though I had to tell her because we were dating.

She came after my present girlfriend and antagonized her, telling her that if she asked me any questions about me I would abuse her. Blake repeatedly insulted my girlfriend and went against her ideas because she doesn’t like her.

She won’t stop Emailing me rude comments about myself because I have a strike system and I got too many complaints about her account and I forgot that it was hers.

If I could get some peace of mind I would be so happy. Does anyone have any advice?

Lazy Saturday

So, I know I’m not supposed to have sugar before bed.

But you really can’t blame me for wanting sugar after cleaning my room up!

Especially since I started to drink Coke again!

I’m deciding to be a bad boy and drink it anyway! Can you blame me? It hasn’t really been a lazy Saturday. I really love days like that. ´^`;

Stag Cosplay

So, apparently my mom really liked my last deer cosplay and she told me that it would be cool to do one for every season, Here’s fall!

I loved every part of making this one possible! The fall leaves blended so well with the antlers! I hope you enjoy!

[somethgrexdom]

Deer Cosplay

I made a deer head band with flowers yesterday and today I had the idea of making a lacy collar because I thought that it would look cute together! I also did some face paint on the eyes but it’s hard to see with the lighting in my room. 

I loved making this stuff! I had lots of fun, and I even felt happier than I have been!

Question for all my fellow artist...

How are you able to post fanart and any art in general on social media sites or even just any type of site and only have a small signature and not fear that someone will take it from you?

Like I just finished a piece and my bf is telling me to watermark the whole thing that way no one steals it because it had happen before. But I am looking at it covered in watermarks and I feel like it's taking the piece away. I really don't know what to do...

[shiroi-maho-deactivated20241013]

Well, there are some websites I’m not entirely sure but you can put a watermark on them automatically if you choose to do so. Like DeviantArt. However, the picture has to be big enough so that way you can put it on.

Some artists will but their whole ID on the middle of the drawing or art they’ve made so that way no one to repost or edit it to make it look like there’s. I usually leave a signature but next to a portion of the drawing making it hard to remove. I’ll even put it inside a part of the clothing.

I actually understand how you feel, I myself have my art stolen on IG and posted there as they tried to remove my watermark. Best advice I can give is leave your watermark inside the outlines you’ve made with your art. Try your best to make it hard for anyone to edit it out because it will be very obvious they’ve stolen if they did. Made your watermark opacity low but enough of it to show.

[afriend410]

I have actually done that with DA but it was still taken and still is being reused and sold no matter how hard I try. I had a watermark, signature in two places and no one seems to care about that lol.

I created my own water mark but my bf wanted me to create it so it covers all of it like a photographer does to their photos but I feel like it takes away from the drawing. So I'm in a bind lol.

[shiroi-maho-deactivated20241013]

That is one thing I actually don’t like about deviantart. A lot of people don’t care for the artists, or art thieves there. It’s quite hard to get people to stop taking your art and stealing it for profit. I’m no expert in the law, but I believe there are ways you can go on websites to report arts that are stolen, or is stolen.

Though if you’d choose to do so, people will type out their ID in the middle of the art making it impossible for anyone to take it. Though I don’t want to do that because I personally feel that it takes away the art.

If anyone else who follows me can add on to this please do! I’m only adding what I do.

[squabasaurus]

This is honestly something that I’ve been struggling with for a while now. I usually just do the simple “artist signature in the corner” and at least hope it isn’t cropped out. I have only had my artwork stolen a few times, but I too have the mentality that putting a large watermark (even Deviantart’s barely visible watermark) really distracts from the original picture.

Some sites are actually pretty useful in not allowing users to directly download or save photos (instagram is the only one I know about, but I’m sure there are others) but really the best solution for all of this is for sites to actually care about artist work getting stolen. Often the reporting process is long, arduous, and EXTREMELY hard to find when you need to report someone for art theft. And sometimes even if you report them nothing happens.

So far I’ve been keeping myself sane with the idea that I create artwork for me and others to enjoy, and if I don’t heighten that enjoyment as much as I can, I will worry more than I do about someone stealing my work. I want all my drawings to look the best they can, and if someone steals it, I’ll ask them to take it down and even go through the complicated process of reporting them if they ignore my request. And at this point, even if I covered all my pieces with watermarks, someone will find a way to remove them. They have before. Heck, there are even online engines that will do it for them. So, I’ll put my signature, advocate for respecting artists, and pray I won’t lose faith in humanity the next time I open my social media account...

[somethgrexdom]

I posted it first, if you look back at the dates for when both of the pieces were made you will find that one of them had to be posted first. I also find that artists usually have a particular style, if you find someone who’s art style is just all over the place and didn’t slowly progress that is an art thief. I tend to look at the way the colors and the line art work. Also, if you water mark or sign a part of the picture where it is difficult to see, some times it might get overlooked or it can’t be erased without loosing a part of the picture. One of my favorite things to do is put my signature as an important part of the picture or something important in the background.
