a brief update

thank you for all your supportive replies, asks, and messages. they are my treasures

today despite all odds I got about 1k down for quantum entanglement. I’m about halfway through the chapter and picking up speed, thank heavens, so hopefully that will be coming out soonish.

hope everyone has a good evening. please take a moment to hug a cute person or pet friend.

a small status report

i’m not around much

i hurt my back (i’m ‘old’, comparatively, to the majority of the users of this platform), so sitting at the desk doing weeby stuff is ultra painful right now

sitting just in general, tbh

the most noticeable consequence of this would be the resbang forum not being updated as releases are coming out so, for that, i apologize and ask that you have patience for my old ass

but yeah essentially life right now is flopping around in bed or on the floor being unable to do things so. shrug emoji

thank u and i hope you have a swell day

If you or someone you know feeds Beneful brand dog food, you MUST read these reviews!

People’s dogs are getting horribly sick and dying after having eaten Beneful foods.

Symptoms include lethargy, vomiting, bloody stools and diarrhea, skin irritation/allergy, and some dogs have experienced seizures in various degrees of severity.

Beneful has not issued a recall on any of its foods despite owners calling to complain about the state of their dogs.

Please spread the word so that more dogs don’t have to suffer!

If I were you, I’d stay away from Purina products altogether, this is a very bad sign.

Fucking great. This is what I’ve been feeding my dogs because I really can’t afford the super nice expensive foods. If I could I’d feed them that though… Anyone know of any affordable but good foods for dogs?

I know more about good cat foods at this point than I do dog foods.  Followers wanna weigh in?  And remember – AFFORDABLE but good.  Emphasis on affordable here, if you catch my drift.

seconding the 4health brand i saw mentioned in reblogs. it’s not AS good as blue, but it’s pretty decent in my limited experience, and they carry grain-free lines for dogs and cats. 35lb bag of dog food for roughly 35 bucks, which is probably a couple bucks more than beneful, but it’s certainly not the 50 bucks for blue buffalo, and it’s ingredient list is v decent. it’s a Tractor Supply store brand though, so availability may be an issue if price isn’t. but man, purina products and all those common brands are just… if you can find it at walmart it’s probably not a great option. so if you ever have the means to get something better for your pet, i urge you to get after it.

If you or someone you know feeds Beneful brand dog food, you MUST read these reviews!

irl update

right, i haven’t been on a whole lot here other than to reblog shiz, so thought i’d touch base

HELLO and welcome to all my new followers! considering the only original content i’ve put out in weeks was that ridiculous picture for makapedia’s birthday, i’m super confused!! but please make yourselves at home, i do actually write on occasion

speaking of, yes mother, i’m still working on the next chapter of Quantum Entanglement. i’m old and society expects me to do adulting on a daily basis, F- would not recommend 

what i’ve been adulting in the past four months:

  • buried a headless cat (rip cat2)
  • hurt my left wrist (de quervain’s)
  • tore down part of my house
  • spent a week out of state
  • had various mental and emotional dilemmas over building a house
  • spent another week out of state
  • hurt my right wrist (also de quervain’s)
  • went to a wedding out of state
  • resbang modding: engage
  • had various mental and emotional dilemmas over cancelling the house
  • spent ANOTHER week out of state
  • went to a wedding in idaho and turned around to a wedding in galveston without going home in between T-T
  • rehurt both wrists (i hate myself)
  • did the photography for that 3rd wedding
  • Boy got me a new compy (?!?) and i must learn how do win10
  • was gifted a ps4 (???!? why is this  h a p p e n i n g) and i am such a console noob now like the controllers are wireless???? my old wii was wireless but why does this still fucking amaze me???
  • i had a puppy for 2 days (did u kno puppies poop a lot)
  • and right now we’re tearing up my kitchen floor.

i also have another week-long trip planned in November. i hate traveling. just picture a mushroom on the verge of stress-crying and/or homicide 24/7 and it me.

BUT! i’m working on resbang, QE, and (gasp) LODESTAR. so that’s the current schedule. thank you all so much for your wonderful asks, fanart, reviews, and eternal support. you keep me going more than you know.

also: most of my more IRL-ish updates are hanging out on my twittermachine: honk. I mostly just shitpost there but sometimes photos! of me and Boy! and the hole in my floor! and watching anime and playing the ffX remaster:

word.

 PEACE LOVE AND FANDOM

hey yo so my Internet has been out for a bit and will most likely continue to be out for at least another day or two

if you’ve sent me an ask recently and I haven’t responded I 100 percent blame Tumblr mobile being a butthole

unrelated thank you everyone for your recent support of quantum entanglement, your comments and reviews keep me alive amidst all the god-awful rn. I’m working on the next segment already =3

peace love and fandom.

things that happened while i was on vacation (and also a rant about a movie i watched)

  • 22-hour days
  • learning to use an espresso machine
  • wine tasting
    • the cute lady at the second wine tasting convinced me to buy a bottle and pack it in my checked bag
    • i don’t own wineglasses
  • beer tasting
    • so, so very drunk
    • but so was bestie’s husband so she had to lead us both out of the building at two in the afternoon
    • and then she linked our arms together so we had a drunk buddy system
      • v glad she doesn’t use snapchat
  • international independent bookstore day
    • had to fit eight books in my purse/luggage alongside the wine
    • 1Q84, the martian, the lovely bones, animal dreams, good omens, 12 doctor who stories (for boy), all tomorrow’s parties, and pattern recognition (which i brought with me for the trip)
    • but marsh, why don’t you just use a kindle
    • I DON’T KNOW
  • lush (the store, not me)
    • luuuuush
    • cute cherub goth girl giving arm massage
    • shampoo bar
    • one day i will have a bathtub and use one of these mysterious bath bombs so i too can be covered in pastel glitter
  • doG PARK
    • WE WENT TO AN UNLEASHED DOG PARK AND IT WAS THE BEST
  • casually asking my friend over coffee to take me to a doctor
    • return of The Cyst
    • not as bad as the first time tho
    • still p gross tbh
  • Batman vs Superman  [ANGRY SPOILER ALERT]
    • basically 1 part testosterone and 2 parts jeep commercial
    • our fandom has written fic a billion times more interesting than this movie
    • the potential to utilize the female characters was there but alas
    • i sure hope there was a point to that random-acid-trip-nightmare-message-from-the-future but i bet we won’t know for another 3 movies 
      • which i probably won’t watch until they come out on blu ray 
      • which i will also not buy
    • i’ve read questionable BxS yaoi doujins better than this simply by virtue of batman not being in an inflatable muscle suit the whole time
    • deadpool movie might have actually had a stronger plot
      • is that out on blu yet because i’m down for that
    • ‘i’m having a mortal fight with the dark knight but he’s definitely going to be the first person i ask to help me save my ma, WHAT COULD GO WRONG’
    • pointless ‘death’ why
      • you literally could have asked wonder woman to do the thing
      • she was RIGHT THERE
        • and clearly doing a better job than the two bicepbabies like she cut off the thing’s arm for christsake
      • but no, you had to be the alien self-sacrifice
      • and we had to sit through your pointless funeral which we knew was fake because there’s no other reason to watch a funeral in a superhero movie unless there is a punchline
      • try a knock knock joke next time
    • alongside the obvious wonder woman, that movie needed 150% more alfred
      • but stop pressuring your kids to have kids, alfred
      • that’s rude as hell
    • also needs more jason mer-moa, thanks
    • props to the soundtrack
      • keep being you, hans and jxl

there were many other things that happened but my coffee is ready and i have a house to clean and a fic to write. back to regularly scheduled programming. 

today was a shit day emotionally for the most part, but not long after I had said i couldn’t wait to go to bed to let the day end, I got a phone call from my friend who told me my ring design i made awhile back was yet again mistaken as the work of a professional (they asked where I was employed) and quoted her a price she can afford this time (the first jeweler wanted more than twice as much). then, hanging out with fandom friends in minecraft was a nice relief. aaannnd @kittenintheden left me a GREAT review on mononoke au which I had been feeling dispirited over as of late, so that was a great surprise. thank you! and thanks to @adorabbey and @sojustifiable for being around to literally watch flowers grow and letting me end the night on a joyful note.

hello and welcome to all my new followers! ❤

hopefully i will have something new for you to read soon (of the quantum entanglement persuasion). until then, please imagine me still being hopelessly thirsty for feedback on my princess mononoke au Swallowing the Brimstone

if you ever wanna chat, hmu on the discord server, i am sleepmarshes there

feel free to send me asks (even though i know i have like 10 right now i still need to answer, sorry guys i am slow la;sdfka;f)

Obligatory yearly PSA

Hello Soul Eater fandom

I have felt urged to make a fresh post about How To Source, because when I go trawling through the tags to promote cool art and already have to wade through the violent pornography I frequently find a great piece either not sourced or, perhaps worse, sourced from We Heart It. I dunno, they’re both p bad.

I am also an artist. I have seen my work reposted without credit to me. I have also been the noob who has reblogged art without credit. I know this game, so harken to mine harrowing plea: please source your shiz properly or don’t post it at all.

Maybe you don’t know art sourcing etiquette. That’s ok. We aren’t condemning you, we just want you to get up to speed, pronto, before you inadvertently run an artist off the internet. (RIP katsura miya)

Maybe you do know art sourcing etiquette, but you’re lazy. That’s less ok. In the interest of not promoting excessive violence, I will stop this sentence here.

For convenience, here are a few links that may be of use to you and your quest:

  1. Reposting from Pixiv Without Ruining The Artists’ Careers
  2. Finding The (Real) Source Of Your Image (and a handy right-click addon that makes it a billion times easier) 
  3. Sourcing Your Shit On Mobile 

Also here is the cheatsheet trinity of posting art:

  • We Heart It ain’t a source
    • neither is Zerochan
    • neither is Pinterest
  • Pixiv is off-limits
    • unless you get actual, factual permission from the artist
  • Don’t save an image from an artist’s tumblr and turn around and repost it
    • what the actual hell

    Thank you, and have a pleasant stay. We are here and we do a lot of things and try to be supportive of each other. Peace love and fandom.

    “Definitely read the thing” No, sorry, I won’t read the thing. Even if it’s “awesome” or stuff. Dub-con and sexual violence don’t entertain me. Sorry and thank you.

    chaoticlivi:

    Buddy, Jcry’s Resbang is NOT in favor of those things, which you might have been able to surmise if you considered the theme of the story – a study in corrupted versions of the characters – for literally one half of one second. It’s just a content warning for things that villains do. It’s stuff that isn’t even used as an irresponsible plot device. The warning is there so people who are disturbed or triggered by even the implication of a villain doing it can avoid it. Warnings are not for attracting people.

    this will probably get me in trouble later but man i am feeling well done and overcooked and i’m a medium rare kind of gal so let me just say, from one jerk to another, in a very well-meaning but still ultimately disappointed manner:

    come on, man, why take the time to send such a negative ask instead of asking an actual question? we’re all mostly rational adults who can engage in mature conversation. 

    consider asking ‘does this story make you uncomfortable?’ or ‘do you think this story would make other people uncomfortable?’ or ‘i really tend to enjoy the things you promote, so i’m wondering how you feel about the dubcon mention in this story, can you tell me more about it?’ 

    you’ve jumped the gun and made a premature judgment on a story. it happens. we do it. covers < books and we fall for it a lot. but even if you are genuinely uninterested in a story, why the public condemnation?  you look like a jerk, man. i love this pocket of the internet so i want us jerks to, you know, improve as people or something. peace love and fandom.
