As an owner of large wet eyes. It. Really is like that.
Throughout my life I’ve watched my eyeballs resolve conflicts for me. Conflicts that in fact, should have been resolved with a conversation, or even with y’know, consequences, for me!
Tbh, not even master of my own will enough to keep myself from crying when sufficiently overwhelmed, even when I know it will derail and inevitably manipulate the flow of conversation. A truly mortifying flaw.

I have not yet become master of my own will enough to figure out how to politely and non condescendingly say “hey are you actually feeling ok about this, or did you just decide everything was ok cause you happened to notice how large and shiny my eyes are?”
Never thought I’d be able to physically own my favorite movie in high quality. Or that I’d ever be able to access it in high quality in the first place. So. It’s a thrill.

I had a fun idea recently after watching witch hat atelier of a pencil that could blow bubbles, just to make art a little more fun. Here is my prototype #maker#art#whimsy
I have not gotten to go out and get drunk and dance and feel safe doing so since college. And tbh I was in permanent fear mode back then so, perhaps it’s never happened before.
AND it was a vampire party. Really grateful and happy.
Have a very strong memory of making a (simple, poorly) animated piece of art for a class and the critique was mostly dominated by a couple of guys saying “yeah this looks like a cool rave, like a in a warehouse, I like it” back & forth with each other.
Afterwards like, 5 quieter women came up to me in a small cluster to talk about it (sweet of them) and one of them point blank asked “hey so like, that was about sexual assault, right?” And I was like “yeah, basically”.
Symbols certainly resonate differently with different people.
Happy for everyone enjoying the dressmaker sim, my main takeaway from seeing footage is that 1. I’m a snob (we knew this) and 2. it’s a good thing streamers don’t usually design clothes
Last repost requires a disclaimer that my undergrad education was actually excellent by most standards, and ritzy. But nonetheless I frequently think to myself that the conditions which caused my brain to form as is (and as is, it is my greatest treasure) could no longer be found in the world.
Really had to pull my brain through many horrible cocoons to finally get it to be a butterfly, but I can be anywhere in the world and the way I see the world and think about what is around me will still be that butterfly, and flutter for me.
Were I to be raised in a time even slightly more cynical of higher education, were I to be any less naively dedicated in my belief that yes I really did need to read all 450 pages of assigned reading, its wings would not carry the same shine.
Unfortunately nothing activates my consumerist heart like a ren faire. Suddenly I am a hollow demon, and my soul and stomach can only be filled with all of the finest anachronistic material objects in the world.
I need several pairs of wings. I need a collection of jeweled crowns. I need artisan crafted swords. I need strappy leather objects which suggest utility but in reality are for holding teacups and colored feathers on my person at all times. Without these things? Surely I will perish.

I need every gauzy big sleeve linen shirt ever made. I must own a monopoly on velvet pullovers with tasteful embroidery. All dangling moonstones with sterling silver settings are rightfully mine, sellers on eBay have simply borrowed them without asking before my birth, and must now hand them over.
