1/3 of the guys in my networking class are named Ethan or Ryan

by the way the funniest thing ive read all week is this post on reddit i think where somebody asked for the pros and cons of different stem majors and so this one girl responded and she said she was a software engineer i believe and then she said “ok pro #1. i never have to wait in line for the bathroom ever again. there are more female restrooms in this building than there are women”

“[cliché and overdone in mainstream heterosexual romantic relationships trope] is so boring and unoriginal, i’m sick of it”

me:

how do y’all just

“write lore”

sounds fake but okay

me, shoving 15 shitty antlers, a handful of isopods, a bunch of feathers and one really pissed off sparrow at god: hey can i have more room please

the tidelord, who abandoned our plane of existence specifically to evade all of his weird-ass children: how the fuck do you people keep finding me

“Ugh, you’re so adorable. I want to be friends with you,” I whisper as I like your posts and never speak to you.

Guess I’m falling into Wheatgil hell too

Playing around with designs. Rainbow’s designed to look comfortable and warm, someone easy to talk to. Virgil’s is recolored to match his core’s age and appearance, dressed like the scientists who work on the cores in Lab Rat are, considering Virgil fixes up the other cores around Aperture. :)

Code Refactored| Chapter 1

Chapter Title: Short fall, hard landing

Chapter Summary: Chell is alone and starving, and she’s desperate enough to poke around in long-abandoned buildings -- until one collapses beneath her feet and she falls into the depths of Aperture once more. Virgil is begrudgingly assigned to the task of assessing the damage afterwards and, finding the injured human, is hit with an idea: to use her to find his friend Mel. 

Fic Word Count: 3599

Fic Summary: Chell was free, left stranded and adrift in a sea of golden waving grass. She lost a friend named Wheatley and expected him to float in space forever. Virgil was trapped, subject to the orders given by the Central Core. He lost a friend named Mel and hoped to see her alive, soon.

Chell is tenacious, having learned never to trust a core, even if they are friendly. Virgil is snarky and sarcastic, but has seen first hand what a human can do.

Chell and Virgil make a deal, and for such an innocuous decision, the secrets they would discover would be Earth-shattering.

I think my favorite part in any video game I’ve ever played is that bit in Portal 2 that essentially goes:

GLaDOS: “Great, this is the part where he kills you.” Wheatley: “Hello! This is the part where I kill you!”

Here we go! A couple color theme-based pics for my WIP original story!

I really have enjoyed seeing this palette-based artstyle before with one central object in white -- something of importance to each character.

I spent about two days on and off altogether on this project and I’m happy to say that it turned out very well! In the future, I would like to do “colors + song lyrics” for some of the other characters, but for the moment I’m going to relax. :)

A character reference I made for a good friend for her PC in my latest D&D campaign in which the players are attempting to survive in the remains of a post-apocalyptic world. This was a very open-ended reference, as my directions amounted to a very simple sketch (showing a girl in a dress with long hair and side-swept bangs). I was also told that she likes cotton candy, is an air genasi, is a monk, and has a warm color scheme -- so this is what I came up with.

Introducing Oriana, or Ori! Originally a human, she was a monk and a scholar (with a suppressed cotton candy enthusiast urge on the side). Altogether, I designed her as a funky combination of Ms. Frizzle and Aang (from ATLA) on the body of an air genasi. I added in components of the original sketch created along with some objects fitting her personality -- books, glasses, park ranger shoes, and of course, cotton candy.

A couple of clothing references for various NPCs I’ve put together for a post-apocalyptic D&D campaign I’m the DM for!

I know one of my players follows this blog and if she reads beyond this point I’m going to track her down and destroy her. :D

Top left: A scientific assistant android who was expected to stand around for a few hundred years until the people within the stasis tubes they were working for were released. Instead, they took off. Their appearance is flawless as it is a hologram over a mannequin-esque body.

Top right: A blind tiefling who wanders an abandoned city, slowly raiding medical centers with their seeing-eye cat in hope they’ll be able to stave off some of their worse injuries.

Bottom left: A magician/mechanic dwarf who scavenges parts and pieces from what he finds to try and rebuild machines to assist him.

Bottom right: A halfling sailor who rides a magically-powered ship seeking out survivors while avoiding the monsters that continue to lurk in the previously population-dense areas.

A little homage to the Animorphs. I wanted to get these images done before ramping back up on getting work done on the comic again!

First we have an Andalite concept, probably Ax. Pretty much a buffed out version of Ax, maybe he’s really gotten into crossfit.

Next a Hork-bajir, looking hopefully at the sunrise. Maybe coming up to the crest of the valley before heading back down in the daylight.

Finally, a Yeerk Wanted Poster of the Animorphs featuring Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, Jake, Ax and Marco. I wouldn’t want to make this bunch mad in a dark alley!

Hope you guys are as pumped as I am about this series- for the record, I’d LOVE to do movie concepts for an Animorphs film. HINT HINT.

LET’S DO IT!

Even witches have lab partners!  What were your favorite subjects in school?  Mine were – predictably – English and art, but I also liked science.  📚🎨🔬 I would’ve liked it even more if we somehow got to make little kitty blobs! ✨

colored up some recent-ish Animorphs sketches… give me weird aliens and I Will put too much thought into them.

1 - general anatomy and also thinking more about that dang hoof-mouth situation

2 - some homemade dolls for Andalite kids, made from wood and dried grass-stuffed fabric. Modern Andalites don’t seem to have much of a consumer culture, but these could also be from very rural areas. Also Gafinilan seemed lonely on a different sketch layer, so he’s here now too.

Being a crow sounds like such a fun existence it’s like

1. Wake up

2. Eat some garbage

3. Find a rabbit to fuck with because you just hate rabbits so much

4. Get to the top of a very tall tree and scream for at least two hours so that people know you’re a crow

5. Join your 3 crow friends in someone’s backyard and just fucking hop around like a goof ball

6. Yell some more

7. Okay that was good enough go to sleep!

8. Repeat

Magical encounter while free falling.

*me, owning a strange boutique housegoods/book store selling a variety of mystic, occult objects but no one realizes I live there, this is literally my living room*

i stroll into the little saltwater store in the city. a border collie comes barreling over and begins nibbling my toes through my open heels. the dude behind the counter introduces himself and asks me if i have any tanks at home or if he needs to set one up for me. i tell him that i have 16 tanks and ask him if he has any personal ones before he can comment on that number. he proceeds to say “yeah, i have a 120 in my office. it has a clam in it.” i cautiously respond “oh, a clam?” and he whips out his phone which already has a livestream up on it. it’s centered on the biggest clam i’ve ever seen, just chillin’ in this tank and taking up half of the available floorspace in a 120 gallon. “that’s my baby,” he says, and points at the unholy bivalve in case i didn’t notice it on my own. there are now two border collies snorfling at my toes while i stare in awe at this dude’s gigantic fucking clam

The new thing I do when I procrastinate is look up “school project” on youtube and set it to most recent. Many hidden gems in there

Like the genius of this. Yet only 9 views. smh

My cat: *kneading his blanky*

Me, in tears: do you even know what good bread you would bake

So I purposefully skipped yesterday because i wanted Sun and Moon to go together. I wanted to do something where they could stack and look like they were eclipsing each other but i don’t know if I pulled it off really well. At least the independent versions of the two turned out okay….This is a concept i may revisit at some point later but otherwise I’m satisfied for now.

A very tired teenage bird shape-shifter. Sadly, that’s a side-effect of spending every night (and some of his days) out exploring and trying to get away from a political family. After all, he’s never in any place to inherit power -- technically he and one of his brothers are twins and therefore the same age, but he wasn’t cut out from the start for the hard political life like his three siblings.

i googled “why do cats run around and meow at night” and one of the results listed this as a cause:
