dear self: no one cares that you have cramps. get to work...finding work

this isn't actually tldr, it's just not. fun or necessary for anyone to read. making a space for me to talk to myself in second...? person about stuff i need to get done

today that is:
- job apps (yes, even though you have interviews this week. two interviews is not a guarantee of anything just like job applications don't mean you get an interview. stop stalling.)
- AI gig thing
....technically that's pretty much it, it just takes a while

things i WANT to do today:
- closed post for makeup starters on well
-- gently tag around? careful on how much i get myself into
- more tdm for silent spring
- more icons for cam and teddy like i've been meaning to!! and clean up character journals/muselist jfc

edit: -- find out if you can link via pic on plurk??
it would be so much cooler if we could link our rpgs via the emotes

That would be so fun! I'm not aware of such a thing, no

DRAT. you can do it in markdown, but plurk is like. "we're going to take markdown, use half of it, flip the rest backwards, and make links ridiculous"

but yeah, i've found myself wishing quite often that - esp when it's unclear from the icon what the name of the rp is - the emotes were just buttons to the nav. i guess i could always, y'know, fix up my muselist like i said i want to today and just link games including potential games

(obvs i also wish that double dashes automatically turned into emdashes, lol)

(i should really get a textexpander but it seems so silly to do that for like. literally that and one other word i have trouble with)

I am trying to crash Wrench into Teddy before you reach max capacity and hope like hell it’s okay I godmodded the dog just a little bit. I thought that was a potential direction the puppy was set up to go in, but I hope I didn’t misinterpret.

(Also now thinking how Into having a dog Wrench would be if they ended up paired.)

andie 🌱 : commandeering this plurk to say holy shit wrench screammsssss Dog Guy to me. like i have to assume he just never had a dog or sth because like. i think once he had one he'd never not have a dog again

I'm picturing him with like a giant serious but quietly affectionate dog...some kind of mastiff

He would never not be trying to play-wrestle a pupper.

andie 🌱 : omg have not been on Plurk all day but THIS THREAD. I’m delighted. It was totally fine, it actually made it really easy to relax the vibes of the situation to have Scout like him and for him to know good dog body language. Teddy has strong convictions but they’re like the rules of robotics, if any of them contradict Scout, they’re null.

I’m still trying to figure out what the heck kind of dog Scout actually is bc coloration wise she’s based on Julien Baker’s actual dog: but she has to be a little taller/broader than that, I think to be able to lie down and prevent a whole human girl from turning over and also help her get up.

100% certified Good Girl

So I’ve been saying retriever in there with the hound mix but who knows, she’s just like: someone tried to make some epic hunting dogs and decided ‘nope not this one’ and Teddy went yup this one’s for meeee

That is in fact the breed. The Goodest Girl.
Also your last tag omg WRENCH 🥰

Teddy is like ‘I don’t get how that could NOT have been offensive but cool’

Wrench just like: Well you didn't flip me off, or sign a random list of colors, or make me sit through the entire ABCs, so you're basically golden.

Lolllll god poor Wrench

(please tell me you haven’t had to sit through the entire ABCs)

Well... a majority of people who do this form a perfect circle venn diagram with people who confuse D for F, so they don't often make it too terribly far. But yes.

andie 🌱 : agghhhh. and also they HUH.
i mean my finger spelling is subpar (especially because i'm a lefty - and only realized i was mirroring as an adult, so i had to teach it from one hand to the other, which was weird) but d and f don't ...maybe i don't see it because my name starts with f, idk

F has FEATHERS dammit

My toxic trait is that I will adamantly insist every fingerspelled letter looks exactly like its written counterpart.

d is literally a lowercase d

It does though! And most of them do! Although I’m struggling with the F. Oh wait, is the thumb and forefinger both the stem?

H and X are a litttttle bit more of a reach to me, and Q I CAN see but it’s still the one I somehow forget the most and I think that’s purely a defense mechanism against my wrist being asked to do that
‘this isn’t a beighton test wtf why’

but like. D is one of the most obvious and a lot of the less obvious become more obvious watching someone else do it

OH WAIT I SEE THE H 🤦🏻💡
