the map is not the territory
Jun. 24th, 2025 10:14 amtaicharaI did at least finish the lineart (sans any icons, doodles or labels) for a world map for my own-FF-project though. Also been chewing on a scattershot mix of the rules I'll be using, mostly classes and spells atm.
But mostly I've been screaming into the void about *gestures at entire fucking universe omfg*
Also work is finding new ways to raise my blood pressure. Also also it's just sure a thing when you can tell one coworker is back from ~vacation~ because now ourdungeonoffice smells weird again. (the last two weeks were so nice in that regard.) Vapers deserve to be drowned in a toilet.
I guess the next stop from here is to keep trying to chew on the FF project and/or anything else that can keep me making things and not completely giving up on everything, tempting as that is ...
Today it would be nice if my parcel of ink arrived. The brainweasels work overtime shaming me for said ink but I will not be swayed, because it's nice Ferris Wheel Press ink and it's official licensed Superman and the colours are amazing. (sorry not sorry Tolkien wonks your ink colours are sad in comparison oh yeah I said that.) I have a pen waiting to go and everythingbut I'll have to pick which colour ohnoes

Aspirations
Jun. 24th, 2025 08:09 amkallowayI am constantly finding parts of aspirational projects that were abandoned or otherwise lost to time. While cleaning up my hobby desk, I found four bottles of DecoArt craft paint and have no idea what I was intending to do with them... (black, white, red, purple - so a very basic set of colors that isn't helpful) Reddit helpfully let me know that while it's physically possibly to thin it down to airbrush consistency, it's not fun anywhere in the process. So that's out.
I also have an olive and a grey that I will someday tinker with and mix to repair worn spots on a wooden figure, but I've been putting that off for like a decade now and intend to put it off for a bit longer. I suppose the black and white can stick around for that?
(I guess these can all stick around for the hangar/manger if I ever get back to that? Not so much the red, but maybe the others can get used...)
The dining room table is also covered in zine-binding/related debris. I need to see what's there and what needs to be bound and do some little projects when I'm otherwise just watching something or being a mushroom.
But right now I'm a mushroom because it's too fucking hot.

(c'était en vitrine de ma nouvelle librairie habituelle - entre autres - pour la Pride ; c'était coloré et ça avait l'air rigolo)

Imagine you're a unicorn and you hate shedding sparkles whenever you feel emotions what would you do? (no, not a Kohlinar, that's not that kind of book)

[courts] Princes et princesses
Jun. 23rd, 2025 04:43 pmmaluretteTitre : Princes et princesses
Réalisation : Michel Ocelot
Langue : français
Type : animation (2D/papier découpé)
Genre : contes
1ère sortie : 2000
Durée : 1h04/six court-métrage
Où ? sur Mubi
Un petit garçon une petite fille et un vieux projectionniste avec des machines à costumer futuristes dans un vieux cinéma de quartier abandonné (?) se racontent des histoires
"et si j'étais..?" "et si je faisais..?"
et les mettent en scène.
J'avais déjà lu il y a longtemps le conte sur lequel se base l'histoire avec les figues, mais j'avais oublié la cruauté de la figure royale. Par curiosité j'aimerais bien lire aussi celui sur lequel se base l'histoire avec la reine cruelle transposée en l'an 3000 ? Et le dernier m'a tellement fait rire !!
C'est très joli !
Six cute short movies in which two children play out fairytales in an old movie theater.

Projecting
Jun. 22nd, 2025 06:43 amkallowayI meant to spend about five minutes on plant care and then proceeded to spend about an hour, instead, complete with running myself out of dirt. That's a bit how my weekend has gone, though? I've gotten a lot done.
I took a deep breath and pushed myself past one of my major mental blocks with archiving and it... wasn't bad? Like, I had bumped up against some very old stories that are... Listen, they were never good. And then I asked myself if I really wanted to archive them. Yes, I want them archived. Yes, I've posted them to mailing lists, to Geocities, to my own site, to AO3. I can post them to Neocities and DW. They will continue to be a part of what I've created.
I also reminded myself that I just have to archive them; I don't have to read them. I also wrote a couple of drabbles and then... also archived those! Super-easy, even though one needed a fandom page made. But super-easy! I like this.
Finished up MG Exia, who I totally didn't want to throw out a window multiple times last weekend, nope. He definitely had his moments, but overall I didn't hate the build. (Which is good because I'm going to be doing it a lot.)
I started on HG Sazabi, who will be a much-quicker no-frills build. I'm going to hold off on polls for a bit until I get through my own little to-do list. I still need to build the HG Calrea that got me back into this bullshit.
Caught up withpurplehellebore for a birfday lunch and whatnot. Went to the home improvement store and did not buy a 9/16ths wrench. (But I had two people restraining me...) Got some paint from the nerd store. Finished up a prototype for a hollow book.
Shadowverse Worlds Beyond released the other day but the less said about that the better. We're already grousing on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Jun. 22nd, 2025 01:05 pmbadass_tigerHi, thank you for making something for me! I've been wanting to participate in this exchange for years but I was always overwhelmed by the tagset requirement. So this year I decided to just go for the general tags for which I apologise but I hope my letter will help give some ideas!

In Review
Jun. 19th, 2025 09:10 pmkallowayUgh, it's been hot and going to get hotter. The next week is going to be suffering.
Monday, got an oil change. I like my new mechanic! The shop is affordable and honest to a fault. They did a fairly thorough inspection and flagged a couple of things and when I went to schedule taking care of one of them, they insisted it wasn't a safety issue and that I'd be much better off saving up the money (because it will be pricey) and they'll see how things look next oil change. (Car is a decade old and this is apparently more of a 'x is starting to show a bit of wear' not 'x is about to fail'. I would have done the repair! So yeaaah, honest possibly to their own detriment, lol.)
Tuesday & Wednesday were help the 'rents days. Went a little hard on Tuesday but that just made Wednesday easier. On Tuesday, I waited around for packages that didn't arrive (they did, later, but beyond my timeframe)... I have another on the way from Bandai and I love the path their packages take. They always scan at a facility in Arizona called Navajo Nation which I assume is located in the greater Navajo Nation somewhere. Anyway, since the packages are always Gundams/Gunpla, I keep imagining Gundams and pilots stopping to admire the American Southwest and learning a bit about it.
We're back to shuffling things around at work, including my sanity. It has become a 'we all need to work on things as a team' but there's still no second shift and nobody leaves me notes. So I work on what the fuck ever and then reiterate that I am not psychic, leave me notes.
Weekend is going to be some errands and catching up with a friend for their birfday. Still picking up some things for the airbrush and whatnot. I definitely need a hygrometer and I also realized that I forgot to get primer. ^^;;
I have (at least temporarily) removed my Transformative Works Permissions Statements after an incident. It feels kinda bad but the incident feels really bad so I'm just gonna take some time and sort out some psychic damage and greater feelings.
