Dramatic and Socially Awkward

When I play Dishonored I often stop and take screenshots of views I'd like to paint. Normally that never happens but I finally got around to doing one. Its an oil painting on a 24 x 30 inch canvas.

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.” 

The worst thing Preston does is exist as a Black character while asking the player to complete tasks not materially different than equivalent asks from white characters. The text of Fallout 4 tells us this is him extending an invitation to improve the collective circumstances of the residents of the Commonwealth. Nobody responds with violence or mockery when it's Desdemona or Gage or Hancock giving you fetch quests to help improve their circumstances.

The worst thing Marcy Long does is exist as an Asian character who does not hide her trauma, or package it in a way that is easy for the player character to digest. Marcy lost her child during Quincy, then had to flee and travel across the Commonwealth to start her life over again. When Asian women do not compartmentalize away their pain or otherwise do not act in a submissive fashion that benefits others, they are mocked or threatened with violence.

It is easy quick and simple to go "OP is DANGEROUSLY WRONG and I have to tell them why RIGHT NOW" but when you're having a PTSD response you are in an altered state of mind. There is a real risk that you aren't reading the post correctly, that you've missed words or phrases or context. Leaving a comment and starting an argument with stranger is also not going to make you feel better— the reply may trigger you again, in fact, and if you were inflammatory you might have triggered the same response in the OP.

My handwriting is the same style as the teacher’s who I had when I was nine. I’m now twenty one and he’s been dead eight years but my i’s still curve the same way as his.

I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in four years.

I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.

I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.

I learned to love books because my father loved them first.

Hi~ I made some previous posts about my situation, but to summarize: I did a blood test in April for issues revolving my health, but when the results came in, it showed that my liver is failing, so I can't get proper treatment and have to get this treated on top of all my other issues... I just took another blood test on the 24 of july 2026 and is waiting on the results to visit a hepatologist after. I currently can't get a job and is on a waitlist for disability, but this is very urgent as my health is deteriorating rapidly...

I also have to pay for stuff like food and my therapy cat's health due to living with my abusive father who sometimes just decide that I don't deserve to be taken care of, even though I am disabled and he is my caretaker...

I currently reached my goal of 500$ with the help of a friend, for the hepatologist deposit; but I still need +275$ to be able to continue meeting with them..! If you can spare anything, including a few bucks helps, here is my ko-fi! I also have paypal. ([email protected]) If you can't help, I understand, don't worry about it! But please reblog for reach!

Thank you all so much for reading and I appreciate you all for the help! I am sorry...
