Welcome To The Art Dump!

My name is Gold (She/Her) I draw Cookies, Ponies, Bugs, Pirates and all my other hyper fixations! Of which I have many... wayyyy too many...

A shameless self promo on my own blog BUT! All of my characters are also on my Artfight account! Hint hint nudge nudge lol

Eclair is beautiful, majestic, gorgeous... and Velvet is there ig

The ogs

I have been stockpiling different oshikatsu craft ideas to keep me busy while I hunt for the perfect bag and if I can’t find a bag that matches my vision I will attempt to make my own! Because my favorite child deserves only the best!

Thinking about the oshikatsu and yumeshipping side of fandoms has really been motivating me to keep working! The idea of my work resonating with people so strongly that they dedicate parts of their own living space to it? That they want to go on dates with MY characters? Augh I love it! I’ve already had people yumeship with my ocs before and it was SO much fun! Total ego boost ngl

I have this really bad habit of sleeping on my stomach and months of my face rubbing into my pillow has caused my eyelashes to thin. But no one fucking believe me and I keep getting accused of pulling out my own eyelashes!

My trich has never affected my face and my eyebrows/eyelashes being uneven causes me a lot of distress. So why would I purposely make the inner half of one eyelid all thinned out? That’s not satisfying at all! And I am way too paranoid to get tweezers need my eyes!

Ive been trying to fix my sleeping position, touch my face less, and I have really amped up my hygiene routine, but I also got some eyelash growth serum which seems to be helping! Albeit very slowly but that’s to be expected.

The harp has a seven different notes (A through G) and a standard grand concert pedal harp like mine has around 46 strings with six and half octaves in total, give or take depending on the model.

On top of the insane amount of strings is the large column at the far end of the harp. This column is hollow and contains a complex system of steel push rods that connects all of the strings to the base. This is where the pedals are located.

Now onto the base! There are seven movable pedals corresponding to each note (the pedals on the left side are: D, C, B, and the right side are: E, F, G, A) with three notches used to adjust the pitch of every string for that one note (up for flat, middle for natural, and bottom sharp).

Moving the pedals will either push or pull on a corresponding rod. The rods go up the column and connects to a series of metal arms inside the neck (the top curvy part of the harp). These arms form a linkage system that translate the vertical movement of the pedals into a rotational motion that shifts a small set of discs or levers. When activated, the fretting discs will pinch the top of the strings which changed the length of vibration, adjusting the pitch according to the pedal movement.

The sound in this video is me moving the D pedal, which makes all of the D strings vibrate

I seriously can’t look away from cookie run for TWO days because shit WILL hit the fan… AND AT THE START OF PRIDE MONTH NO LESS!?

Is selfcest a little strange at first? Absolutely! It’s a weird concept to hear about for the first time and the name can definitely make people uncomfortable (which is why mirrorshipping is another name for it). I certainly thought it was strange at first but I got over that!

But shipping a character with an alternate version of themself, something that can NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE and comparing that to incest? That’s insane! And then to ban victims of incest who bravely spoke out against you? EVEN MORE INSANE!

And they have just being acting extremely childish to all the push back in the official server

Why is this person even the senior social media manager? Based on everything I’ve seen on their own twitter account, they are incredibly biased, petty, and allow that to impact their job seeing how they have deliberately not posted official CRK media that contains fan service for a ship they personally do not like.

This pattern of behavior is incredibly unprofessional for anyone but its even worse when it’s the senior social media manager acting this way!

Of course this is NOT a post encouraging people to go and harass Alyssa! That is the last thing we need because the situation has been resolved and harassment will only make us as a fandom at large look worse. I repeat! DO NOT GO AND HARASS ALYSSA!

I am going to end with this to show just how stupid this whole controversy has been and because it makes me laugh

It’s because orchestras actually consider the harp to be a percussion instrument as it shares more similarities to the drums and piano than it does with stringed instruments!

Stringed instruments, like violins, use a bow to create a continuous sound. Performers can change what kind of sound is made mid note without needing the stop. With the harp, once a string is plunked the sound can no longer changed.

Example: An elephant NOT a elephant

Example #2: A dog NOT an dog

I have read way too many fanfics and comments with this mistake and it’s driving me crazy! Even more crazy than the rats made me!

Edit! I realized my original conclusion to this post could come off as insensitive to non-native English speakers and I certainly do NOT want to insult anyone trying to learn this hot mess of a language! I worked myself up and impulsively got on my soap box.

When SIaB was a book/graphic novel project, people were more dismissive. “Oh that’s nice” and “Well good for you” were common responses.

But now that it’s an animated project, people are so much more interested! Not just about process of trying to make an animated show but about my story and characters. People are excited to see my lore bible and look at my art!

I have no idea why reactions are so different when the media for storytelling is the only thing to change. The story and characters are still the exact same as they were before.

“Dot cake” is just a branding name one specific bakery has given to a vanilla cake served in a round cup.

If you ordered a cortadillo and got funfetti in a cup, you would be offended by that as well! To conflate the two is an actual insult to Mexican culture.

Why are we judging people’s morality based on fucking cake!?

Anyways this comment explains everything perfectly
