the dream resolved this inconsistency by instead making me (an adult) need to break into a middle school so I could see if I actually cleared out my locker of all my valuables. and then I got caught (of course) because I was a strange adult breaking into a working middle school

I started having one of those stereotypical "you have to go back to school because you forgot to take one class and you didn't actually graduate" but it was MIDDLE SCHOOL and even my dream self was like "wait... I'm an adult this doesn't make any sense"

it's actually not that bad but it does make me feel like some sort of degenerate

there was a giant bottle of tequila that only had a single shot left in my fridge and I wanted to use it up but I have absolutely no mixers so I made a hideous concoction with Arizona iced lemon tea

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost

her ojou-sama laugh.......

it's like unbelievable how shitty these staples are. anyway I'm taking recommendations if you have any

I bought this long stapler for $30 because I wanted to staple my zines instead of sewing them but it fucking sucks! almost every single staple comes out warped! the only straight ones came from my tiny plastic pocket stapler!

been reading some horror manga recently, both of these are ongoing but I enjoyed them a lot so far: Tonari no Jii-san and "N"

I shouldn't put down a whole medium, let's be specific: partially by virtue of being made by just one (or a few) people, manga just tends to have better, more intricate art and more weird/obscure/personal stories and better pacing. which does make it superior to anime.

comics are better than animation. simple as

I love manga but have more of a neutral attitude towards anime which puts me at a disadvantage at anime cons where the majority have the opposite view

went to office max for printer ink and paper and everything was marked up like $8-10 from the average online price 💀💀💀 like bro..... I made the effort to go to a brick and mortar and you treat me like this?

I'm gonna sell some of my prints in a local shop ☺️ yayyyy

fuck this I'm going to the fedex next time. all the people can see my weird zine. better than going through this again

trying to print a double-sided single fold zine on a single-side printer is perhaps one of the infuriating things you can attempt to do

a common talking point online is that women receive so many compliments but men only get a few in their entire lifetime but I think that's like... only if you're a conventionally attractive woman aged teen to 20s. if you're old or fat or dark or butch or ugly that's not happening

I like cropping shirts too but not everything can be a crop.... you need some longer garments too

if I wore colorful leggings with this I'd truly be medieval-maxxing

sometimes I don't like the way oversized tops hang/bunch up at the hips so I've been adding tunic slits to the sides of a lot of them

90% of movies are in the 3-4 star range. which is why it feels more important to make distinctions between them compared to the two rarer ends of the bell curve

1-2 stars and 5 stars is easy to rate. failure or masterpiece. but what do you rate as "fine"...... enjoyable, adequately funny/dramatic, didn't turn off the tv, but not particularly engaging?

I almost gave all these movies 4 stars because if you evaluate by their own standards, I think they succeed. like, competently made for what it is. but is that rewarding them for my low expectations? or should they be punished for not appealing to my tastes?

giving a film 3.5 stars feels like cheating (half stars shows weak will) but there's such a vast divide between a 3 star movie and a 4 star movie

tote bag collection update. it's all on theme.

like I'm not even saying it has to be as serious as Arrival (although I do think Arrival is a better movie) but when it's in every line you undermine the gravity of the situation. very.... bad marvel writing

just saw Project Hail Mary. decent popcorn movie. would've been vastly improved by toning down the humor 50-70% percent

it would make me immensely sad to think anything I made was treated so callously

this is like when I heard people regularly eat off of plastic plates and throw them away instead of doing dishes. like you are living a life so foreign to me that I don't think I can communicate with you.
