online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

couple takes tax evasion to other level!! house won’t stop MOVING!!

when in fics they say two characters gave each other a look this is always what i envision in my head

Muriel bjd campaign ends tomorrow, 10/5!

Good morning! I wanted to share the project update from my Muriel bjd Kickstarter here in case any of you all are following along!

The campaign is coming to a close. I saw a few people had added multiple Muriels and, with all the color options available, I thought I'd increase the add-on quantity from 2 to 3 for the doll categories. Each doll add-on should have a maximum quantity of 3 now, so if you have been wanting to add an extra doll or two, you can! This way, you can get CMYK if you want (or any other color combo).

I've been printing my first official Muriel dolls. First, I'll finish printing the mini I'm working on, and then I will do a big version testing the other dye type. I plan to use these two as my instructional video Muriels for the kits! We'll go through assembly on each one and I'll show it using common household tools (with the option of some other things you can buy to make it faster/easier). Hopefully this will make it more accessible for those of you who aren't experienced in ball-jointed dolls (but are about to be...lol)

I thought I'd share some art of Muriel here, as some of you probably haven't seen it. It's fun looking back on these drawings and seeing how she and her misprints evolved.

Please let me know if you have any questions before the campaign ends! I will still be updating here after the campaign ends and sharing progress photos of the dolls; expect some fun printer build plate photos and lots of fun colors (unless yall order the same thing… lol).

I'm so excited to get started on these! Thank you all so much for joining me on my first Kickstarter journey.

The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself - this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc - and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.

About ten years ago I decided that the next step I needed to take in my life was to accept and explore what it meant to be a failure and to have failed. This infuriated almost everybody in my life and clearly terrified a lot of people. People do not want you to accept failure. They dont want you to like... Sit with and think about it and pick it up and turn it arpund in your hands and really examine it. They want you to keep throwing yourself against the impossible walls until your body explodes! They do not want you to say "alright then, I've failed. What does that mean for me? Im still here. What does the life of someone who has failed look like?"

This makes people very angry and panicky.

My mental health improved in ways it had not in the previous DECADE once I stopped. And. Sat. With failure. And thought about what my failure ... Was. And looked at the structures that produced it and examined them critically.

It is so taboo to fail and admit it openly and talk about it. It is so taboo to talk about or think about failure in an accepting way rather than hiding it shamefully until you experience a degree of success in some area which allows you to present the past failure as "a stepping stone" to your current situation. Fuck that. We are put in positions of guaranteed failure by society every day and then punished and shamed for it. Lets fucking talk about failure

Woah. Timothy Zahn, are you me?

I often hear the argument that having major characters die is more realistic than having them always come through unscathed. Of course it is. But I personally don’t want my fiction to necessarily be “realistic” – I want my fiction to be entertaining. For me, that means watching engaging characters I care about get into and out of dangerous predicaments, working and thinking together in order to defeat the bad guys. While some authors (and readers) like the tension of wondering who will live and who will die, I prefer the tension of seeing how the heroes are going to think or work their ways out of each difficult or impossible situation they find themselves in. If I want realism and the deaths of people I care about, I can turn on the news.

Quite nice, actually.
