Developing a sick fixation on the bagel guy I get breakfast from every Friday on my way to work. I have visited his stall thrice and each time he hears my order, shakes his head, and gives me a slightly different version of my order that tastes better than what I'd originally asked for
Today I asked for a plain lox spread bagel and he gave me an everything bagel with a lox, scallion, and dill spread and it fucks so heavy. Moaning at work rn
No i will not tell you who this is or where. This is MY parasocial relationship with a bagel guy who is doing a kind of customer service dom thing to me. You guys don't get to HAVE him [eyes start glowing as I growl]

earlier today my brother asked me if i know the date and i was like "28th. because i know that tomorrow is the 29th because the 29th is when my industrial magnet comes." and he was like "why cant you just know the date?"
A collection of works I have done by request that were either published without credit or are no longer relevant.
Volume 2 Opening
The opening was made by the two of us with some compositing assistance from Shane. Inspirations were drawn from Naruto Shippuuden's 8th Opening and the Lightning Returns: FFXIII Special Effects Trailer. I don't recall for how long we worked at it, but the time stamps sure paint some kind of picture.
Winter Schnee
Conceptualized in 2013 following the idea of the Maidens, Winter was meant to differ from Weiss not only visually but also characteristically. I was given a lot of Aion references, primarily the Abyss armors. Lightning Farron and Erza Scarlet were also prominent influences.
With the premise that she would be defiant of her father's expectations and reject her responsibilities as a Maiden, I designed her opposite of her sister:
Where Weiss wears an asymmetrical hair style but symmetrical clothing, Winter would have symmetrical hair styles and asymmetrical wardrobes. I insisted on giving her pants to lend to her authoritative role. I inverted the direction of the Schnee insignia to represent her conviction to take down her family's empire using their very technology against them. It was requested that her main outfit feature a crystallized crow's skull.
Qrow Branwen
I did a preliminary sketch for Qrow knowing how important this character was to Monty. The one desire he had was for there to be, "a lot of feathers," while also referencing Guilty Gear Xrd. What a request.
I unfortunately couldn't bring myself to revisit this design.
Venus Adele
A member of team RAVN. Her two-handed Chain-Whip Katana was designed, modeled and textured before being passed off to Shane for rigging. Inspired by FF Type 0's Seven.
Episodic Designs
Following the Volume 2 wrap, I was tasked by Monty with designing alternative outfits for classical trope episodes such as Beach and Parade/Concert. They only had to be good enough to meet Monty's standards and detailed enough for me to reference when modeling.
Things did not go according to plan, but I still enjoyed the process and opportunity to explore the characters' personalities. Monty told me Neptune needed floaties because he doesn't know how to swim.
Penny got to go to the beach, too. Just not in the water.
Young Cinder
Exploring her journey from starting out as, "ashes," that would later catch flame to become a, "cinder." Her leggings were meant to resemble those on her catsuit design.
Cameos
This request was the most annoying because I could not for the life of me figure out a way to make these characters/team names follow the naming/design convention of the world. Monty had always been vocal about wanting to include his friends in some way and I tried my best, but I'm not very fond of it personally.
I continued working on things up until June of 2015 when it was made more than apparent that my presence and involvement was neither welcomed nor appreciated over a phone call:
"Trying to find a place for you on RWBY is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole."
I packed my things and left.
It has taken me a decade to start believing in myself again, and looking back at everything that Monty trusted me with restores some of the confidence I once had. I should be proud of what I accomplished regardless of how things played out.

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.
Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.
And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.
Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.
On a related note, that post also opened up the world of naps for me. I used to think that napping was mostly pointless for me, because I'm pretty much incapable of falling fully asleep in the middle of the day. But when I redefined naps to include "lying down with my eyes shut for an hour," even if I just spent the whole time brainstorming fanfiction, that was often enough to get me from "exhausted and running on 4 hours of sleep" to energized and refreshed

you there. the person who claims to be a hater for fun. are you actually having fun or are you recurrently making yourself miserable looking at things you dont like
you there. are you exercising the healthy practice of forming your own opinions about the world or are you being swept up in a negative 'everything sucks' spiral without any time to digest the information you consume

oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!
ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem
With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see
do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive
(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)
Remember the person who snitched on Luigi? All because they wanted the reward, which they ended up not getting because the police & government used loopholes to get out of paying it.
The same thing will happen if you rat out immigrants. The odds of you getting the money are low. It's a carrot on a stick to get you to do the work for them.

Someday your hands will be old and wrinkled, the skin spotted and bunching over your knuckles. And a child will watch you make something. It's a simple task, you'll have done it a thousand times before. But to that child, the smooth, confident way your hands move will seem like impossible magic. You have to keep living.
I wish people would understand that not everything is for everyone to get. you will be left out of some conversations, a lot of art will not apply to you, you will not like things that people you like enjoy, and just because you cannot add to the topic of discussion or relate does not mean that it is not valued or worthwhile. the internet has coddled people to such a concerning extent that everyone feels like they need to vocally disagree with something just because they don’t get it. Knowing something, and genuinely getting it are not the same. NOT EVERYTHING IS FOR YOUUUUU
