I make my own luck

maría. xxiv. Spain. I like old video game men, aliens, history, exploring abandoned cities and looting tombs while jamming to some 80's synthpop ☼

Hi guys!

I want to apologize for disappearing all of sudden twice the past month and for being so inactive lately. I don't know if someone was worried about me but I'm okay, just things have been very hard for me.

Basically, I had an important exam on december (which I didn't really need to study much for since it was the B2 Cambridge certificate), but it was the first school- related thing I did ever since dropping 5 or 6 years ago, so my anxiety levels were over 8000. Mixed with this, my grandfather has been ill with cancer for 2 years (we took care of him at home) but he got worse the past month and he's now in a hospital, the doctors has said that they don't think he has much time left, so I'm sad. I've been preparing myself for when it happens so when it does I hope it won't be that painful but still, it's something that can't let you untouched. To top it, I've been hella stressed during Christmas time (can totally say this one has been the worst one in my 24 years of life, didn't feel like Christmas, I just wanted it to finish) , apart from the usually hustle that comes with it, I was the one at charge at home because my parents were busy taking care of my grandfather and now they're taking turns to be at the hospital with him. So, yeah. In Spain the holidays finishes on january 6 so I'm still tired, two days later.

This has been my life the past days. I don't want to be pitied, just want to justify why I'm not here as much as before, just so you understand my situation. With this I want to say that I'll be on hiatus for a while, I don't know how long it will take. Maybe a month, maybe three. But I'm just not in the right state of mind to be here. I miss you all and this place but I really can't keep up with the blog at the moment. Neither I have the time nor the mentality.

I've seen some messages you wrote me and stuff I'm tagged in, which made me happy to see I'm not forgotten even tho I'm not around, so thank you :) I'll reply to everything when I come back.

To end it in a positive note, I really hope you had a lovely Christmas time and a good start of 2019💕⭐️🍀  I didn't have the chance to give you my best wishes. And with this, I say goodbye until next time (why am I making this so dramatic lmao). I wish the best for you and I love you all, keep fighting whatever that's troubling you because I believe that you can with anything! Bye bye! <3

dissociating is kinda like: sorry, i’m not feeling well at all to the point where i’m not exactly here, please leave a message and someone will get back at you eventually

This is a friendly reminder to all content makers to gif whatever the fuck you want regardless of how many times its been done before. No one else brings the same perspective to the layouts of your sets as you do. You need to practice to get to where you want to be and if you only gif things that have never been done before then youre never gonna gif anything and whats the point of making content then??? Gif whatever yall want because YOU wanna gif and YOU wanna get better ok i love yall

Jonah, I’m here. Just a little stuck. Uh– a rock pinned my leg.

“This film has long scenes where there’s time to illustrate the thought process.  All Moses does in some of them is to listen, which is very, very challenging.  To make Moses expressive, we used a lot of what some people call ‘bottom eyelid animation.’  It’s really difficult to suggest what Moses is feeling and thinking when all you’ve got to work with are the lines surrounding the eye.  There were also scenes where most of what I did were very, very subtle head moves, because I want the characters as true, as believable, and as real as possible.” — James Baxter, animator for Moses

i went into a gamestop from another reality today

[raylaxy]

What happened?

[egberts]

so, i only went in to get the shiny silvally code. should’ve taken like a minute or two at most but i was in there for upwards of ten. it was deeply unsettling right off the bat when i walked in because it was quiet. like really quiet. the tv that plays the gaming news and the speaker that plays the ads weren’t running. the cashier says hello and i get in line to wait. it is dead silent. nobody in the store is making any noise except for the cashier, who is typing. she’s helping a little boy sell 12 PS4 games. the boys mom is walking back and forth behind him sipping her gas station brand cup of coffee. literally just walking back and forth from one end of the store to the other. all the while the entire store is silent, the kid is silent, the mom is silent… all 5 of the other full grown adults in this store are silent. and i’m the only one in line behind this kid, these other adults throughout the store are like standing in one space just staring and being quiet. they weren’t browsing, they weren’t talking. nobody was making any noise. i wasn’t making any noise. i was standing there thinking about how eerily silent it was in this gamestop and wondering what the hell was going on - hyper aware of every move i made because i didn’t want to make a noise and break the silence. this carried on for literally 10 minutes before another cashier came in through the front door and loudly exclaimed “i can’t leave you alone for five minutes.” he called me to the counter and asked me what i needed help with. it was like immediately the ambient noises of gamestop all returned at once and i stepped forward to get my code.

[lillaology]

my favorite part of this is the implication that not only was the first cashier somehow responsible for the eerie silence to begin with but also that this has certainly happened before

So me and a bunch of others artists worked together to make a Fallout 4 Zine @fallout-zine! I made a New Vegas piece for the book and a print for the merchandise. You can pre-order it here. Here is a preview of the piece I worked on! (Less than ¼ of the total picture.)
