patreon drawings are up for [lukeperiodsun] and [fleurdelis]!
finally put a design up on [redbubble]!
I am still recovering ugh! (so this one is a little extra short so I don’t have to think of as many words. I still read everything though!)

@dragonatioor said: Hey!!! I don’t know if you read this but your funny little Kirby made me cry with just relief, like hell yeah there’s always a little good to be found. I may be very tired, but I love your work a lot 💚❤️💚
I do! I like taking the time to read through everyone’s replies and tags, there’s always so many sweet things in there. I’m glad the gorb brought you some relief, and I hope you got some rest <3

from the @s:
@iknowicanbutwhy tagged me in a little favorite songs [tag meme]! lately I’ve had strawberry blond by mitski stuck in my head a lot, it’s so fun to sing. and the one on repeat before that was cleopatra by the lumineers. picking a third one is hard, I like a lot of songs lol. maybe continuing in the vein of fun to sing, indiana by rockapella? edit: okay I was listening to music this morning and I have to add here’s to life by streetlight manifesto, they’re my favorite band and it’s probably my favorite of their songs. it really makes me want to see them live again ;n;

ooh, I bet you’re right!
(this reminds me that in high school I dated someone who would just eat tomatoes like apples, and they went to a different school. so sometimes their school ended before mine, and they’d just. come stand in my classroom and eat a tomato in the corner. they were very odd, but it’s hard to be normal and date me XD )

yes!!! that’s why I do these roundups, I love seeing all the fun tags and replies everyone leaves for me, and this way I get to acknowledge them!
@your-local-neighbourhood-kat said: The hug would make both of us feel better 🥺🥺🥺
even though he’s got little arms I bet kirby is the best at hugging. (I hope whatever’s on your mind eases soon.)
@shegosato said: i love ur kirbys they deserve an id <3 hope ur year's been good so far op!
aww, thank you! I know writing good image descriptions takes genuine effort (which is why I don’t do it myself like I should, I’m sorry TnT ) and deserves sincere recognition at the very least! (I’d love to just properly compensate someone to caption all of them as they go up someday, but it will take a while to afford. I will be sure to put out a call for interested parties once I get there!)

unfortunately I don’t know anything about webkinz so I can’t fully appreciate the joke but he’s clearly working very hard towards his goals and I support him!
@shegosato said: op thats a cute easter egg. also hope uve doing well! mayhaps a post abt commissions or donations will help?
I was very happy with myself when I came up with it lol, and I think that is a good idea! I already put out new stickers this month, but maybe I will finally figure out sticker commissions or just advertise kofi commissions at the same rate as the patreon tier.

highlights: I finally got around to designing a [blanket] on society6, and reshared some [resources] that might hopefully make the tough times a little less scary.
also the disgorb will be shutting down at 9pm PST on December 16th, because running it takes a lot of energy and I need that energy for other things :( to sort-of-replace the disgorb as a more direct way to communicate with me instead of waiting for reply roundups, I’ve made an email address specifically for this blog: [email protected] (not a typo)

I feel silly for missing your tags for a couple days but I saw someone else make a similar suggestion anyway! at least it still got to be drawn lol (I should rewatch cowboy bebop, I don’t think my partner has seen it...)

@galacticscrap said: What's he thinking about
if the oven takes 10 minutes to preheat and the prep stage takes 15 minutes, should he preheat the oven first or get the first 5 minutes of prep done, and then the next dish cooks at a higher temperature, should he prep that while the first dish is in the oven, or wait until he can change the temp? then if the first dish is cooling on the stove he’ll only have one burner clear to make the third dish, should he do that while the first dish is in the oven instead? (optimization is complicated!)

thank you very much for the tag on this [positivity] post, @aestheticpaperowl! I think I’ll let my reblobs speak for themselves for some folks I think deserve more attention rather than hopping on the train, but it was very sweet of you!
@your-local-neighbourhood-kat tagged me in this very cute [art] by @yourneighbortoasty (a while ago, whoops <.< ), you are correct that I like it very much and it is absolutely going into my list of blogs to raid for quality reblobs!

I’m not sure anyone actually gets better at adulting, I think we just slowly grow a higher tolerance for hold music.
Can I ask a question? I remember I was reading something on some other blog (unfortunately I can't remember the name of it) about the arcanas for the persona users. It only went up to P4, but, at least according to the blogger, Brown from P1 is a pretty bad example of the Justice Arcana. Like, he doesn't really share traits with that Arcana, or even its reverse, if I remember correctly. What's your opinion, and also, do you think any other characters happen to be bad examples of their Arcana?
I personally find it pretty hard to just flat-out call characters a “bad example” of their Arcana, since the Arcana aren’t supposed to be a personality indicator in first place, but archetypes of different life-situations and how they may rule our ways of dealing with or perceiving the world.
That said, I can see why P1 has some trouble with establishing WHY its characters supposedly fit the Arcana their Personas are assigned, and the simple reason for that is that a good few of them simply aren’t fleshed out enough. Hidehiko AKA Brown may be one of the first characters you meet in P1, but in terms of actual character development or effect on the plot, he’s inconsequential. In the writer’s (Satomi Tadashi’s) mind, it might very well be that Hidehiko’s life situation did, in fact, suit the archetype of the Justice Arcana; a time in his life ruled by how understanding of right VS wrong emerges, and how he has to be careful to not end up judging things as either black or white, but figure out a firm moral compass for himself. However, in the game proper, the character doesn’t actually have the chance to do so. He’s one of the least utilized party members in the game, which is partially thanks to him being optional.
If I had to think of other characters sharing this problem, I immediately come up with Yuka Ayase of the same game, though, with her you can at least see how the Magician relates to her life in the way how she treats the people around her. I addressed this in my video about the Magician Arcana a while back. She’s by far not as good a representation of the Arcana as later characters in the franchise, but the thought is there.
As for someone not from P1, I spontaneously think of Haru Okumura from P5, though the issue isn’t even REMOTELY as pronounced with her as with the two P1 examples. With Haru, the problem is mostly that she comes in too late, and all that relates her to the powerful mother-archetype relayed by the empress is conveyed almost exclusively through her Social Link/Confidante, as opposed to the main plot. So if you failed to complete that link, her connection to the Arcana can seem to come out of nowhere. But I’ve already talked at length about how Haru suffered from being introduced too late into the game, so I’ll leave at this for now.
