Is it normal for people at Other workplaces to just not fking understand the concept of lead times or is this just my work being dysfunctional again? What part of "we cannot post the video now, we don't have the footage and filming is scheduled for 1.5 weeks from now" sounds NEGOTIABLE?

Tribios' "I will run towards the suffering of the world" (idk if I'm translating it right) will always hit a soft spot inside of me. In Mahayana Buddhism the idea of the bodhisattva path is quite big I think. I always think it's very moving.

I feel the older I get, the more I feel genuine attachment to my country. Flying home today and looking out the window to see the familiar light of hundreds of ships waiting to dock, and the skyline — it brought such a feeling of "I'm home."

Honestly there were a lot of mixed reviews when I was researching the Asus ProArt PX13 but so far I have no regrets about it. It's a relief finally having such a small and portable device that I can easily bring while travelling that can actually support light video editing for work.

Well the grant money that was being used to pay me ran out and my org shifted me to hourly, with a cap on total number of monthly hours to avoid busting their marketing budget. Which is old news, it's been that way since Jan. The more worrying new news is I might actually bust the cap this month 🥹

I was listening to the Mond AQ in the background while writing a fic and I'd forgotten how much CN Venti sounds like he's fondly babysitting throughout the whole thing. He just has such a doting and patient vibe with Paimon 😭😭😭

Why did I go and finish the entire Temple of Space world quest in one sitting??? What am I gonna do until the next patch???? Well there's Linnea's SQ I guess and patch notes say there's a new event quest coming out on 27.... BUT STILL...

Lohen and his... are those THIGH HIGH boots???

I hate the period in a tight project schedule when I'm waiting for material from other people before I can do my end of the job, so I can't start yet, but I can't switch my brain off and am just Stressed about the tight project schedule.

Heard through the ceiling of my apartment tonight: (cat wailing) Person: No!! (cat wails some more) Person: You do not want that! Spit it out! (even louder wailing) Person: That is a potato! You are an obligate carnivore!! #ahcats #lifeinapartments

It's so funny how many queer people I've met in Venti fandom who at some point, intentionally or unintentionally, had Xiao hair (Me included, I usually have Xiao length hair). If it's not Xiao hair, it's Venti hair. (I've never had Venti hair because I can't pull off the shorter bangs.)

SCREAMING THIS FROM THE FUCKING ROOFTOPS

Jesus Christ I sometimes don't know if I should just take this as a fucking sign. I did everything I was told to, but nothing is working. The hardware just ain't going the right way 🥹

People that put down lesbians/ women for liking yaoi and being "male-centered" confuses me. sapphics get invalidated enough from people outside the community, and now supposed "allies" and friends are doing it too? Trashing women for what fictional blorbos they wanna see kiss isn't activism, sorry.

We are eating 😭

Artist: It's not that uncommon for artists to accidentally draw an extra finger Person who isn't an artist: lol no artist makes that kind of mistake Artist: I've personally drawn the incorrect number of fingers before Person: Then you must be terrible enough that you don't count as an artist

I'm tbh glad that I've been writing for as long as I have and I don't think my writing style has changed super considerably because I keep seeing horror stories of fanfic writers being accused of AI generating their fics

i cant find my last post about it so ill just say it again. dom bottoms do not need to be on top riding their sub to be in power. give dom bottoms more credit in their ability to psychologically dominate and also acknowledge that they can be physically dominant in any position.

Zhongli in fic looking at Exuvia statues like "good craftsmanship, but the horns are wrong" But how would he know unless he's looked in a mirror as a dragon?? What about Zhongli going: It's an accurate save for the claws and tail Passerby: ... Mr Zhongli, the horns are ALL KINDS of fucked up

It turns out that I don't actually hate landscape painting, I just needed someone to explain how to do the textures. Also, mountains are kinda fun!

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

(Ngl I wonder if this may partially be due to the Phai/non fangame using AI voices, tho I heard there's been a lot of AI videos on Bilibili lately) (1) Personality rights of actors is protected under CN civil code (2) Collecting voices to train AI for any purpose considered infringement by company

Honestly if social media were a thing in Tevyat, I bet there would be videos on Liyuen social media like "Mr Zhongli of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor talking about pottery (12 hours looped)" because people find his voice calming LMAO.

Idk if it's just me or is Daler Rowney graduate acrylic (in lemon yellow SPECIFICALLY) just very fucking sticky?? Sticky, turns the paint a weird kind of shiny, goes on thick and tacky?

Neuvillette's adventures continue🤭🩵

There is absolutely no reason and no excuse for Zhongli to be so goddamn fucking beautiful. He has no business being so beautiful. He needs to STOP AT ONCE and get AWAY from me and my eyes.

I genuinely can't understand the @/grok pandemic overtaking comments of twitter these days. Do people not have hands, eyes, ears, and brains these days that they have to rely on an AI that doesn't even provide consistent answers to the same question asked repeatedly under the same post these days?

Man tho will "see you tomorrow" ever hit as much in my fics as it fucking DECIMATED me in HSR Amphoreus???? Me wanting to write a scene where both parties aren't sure if they will see each other again, and one says "see you tomorrow" but AGH no one but the HSR fans will probably understand.

I have a bad habit from back when I was in school that when acrylic painting I would WIPE MY BRUSHES ON MY SCHOOL UNIFORM and since we were an "art school" the teachers couldn't book me for having paint all over my skirt. We never did oil but now that I'm learning... I should REALLY stop.

I bought Clip Studio v1 probably something like 5-10 years ago and recently I changed my laptop and CSP was on sale so I thought "I appreciate that it's still on perpetual license after all this time, so let me buy v4 to support them." It's the same app 😭 but I don't know how to use V4

People will be like “AO3 gives me life” and then say they don’t read works in progress, don’t comment because they “don’t know what to say”, and actively despair when fics get abandoned and writers quit writing.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

I just think it's so funny that Diluc is often referred to (especially by Paimon) as Diluc-laoye (sometimes translated as Master Diluc —laoye is often used for masters of a household or in Diluc's case, perhaps more saliently, a master of a business) but ENG Genshin tends to omit the honorific.

I just feel like ENG Genshin localization keeps trying to make everyone sound more careless and throwaway and I'm not 100% sure why

Cries in Ao3 being down when I just found a 110k word fic to read

I'm confused why Genshin ENG localisation seems allergic to these interactions?? E.g. Jean, re: Varka sitting on the statue in part 2: Ehh? How can you sit in that kind of place?? Turns to Venti, who is unbothered: Sigh, well if the person himself doesn't mind... Instead got translated as this...

My parents have been yelling all morning and at first I thought they were arguing, then my mom stormed in and was like "I AM VERY ANGRY AND NEED YOUR OPINION" and after she told me I was like "did dad disagree?" bc on the subject matter, I agreed with her, and it's VERY unlike my dad to NOT agree.

Imagine making such an unimaginable racket fighting a ruin guard outside your god's sort of temple that your missing god himself comes out of the temple half-asleep going "what the hell is all this noise" and realising you woke him up from his 500 years of slumber

Hmm... idk if it's just me, but it feels like there are more tonal discrepancies for this Genshin event than usual. Usually it's like 1-2 sentence per scene but this time it was nearly every other sentence for the Jean Varka interaction, all small enough I suppose, but somehow it adds up?

Me learning a new medium like, mom: Your other paintings look nicer Me: This is an oil WIP mom and the previous were all acrylic. Oil dries chalky. My teacher says to glaze a few layers and it'll start looking brighter. Mom: Aiyo, so mafan (troublesome) Why don't you just stick to the old paint?

Jesus why does EVERYTHING have to turn into drama on twitter

Re: the CN Phainon fangame tho... I have to say I'm not 100% sure what I'm watching... and not in the "I don't understand the language" way...

CN Phainon fans made an entirely voice acted fanmade game rewriting the ending of HSR Amphoreus and I've never been so glad that I understand CN. Looks like they are looking for EN translators tho so there might eventually be an EN release.
