See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

My name is Ves. I’m a nonbinary trans man, loveless aromantic, and I use they/he pronouns. I am 21 years old. This is my main blog!

Some things I like:

  • Music!!! My favorite band is King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard but im exploring a lot of other stuff rn! Mainly catching up on the classics. I really like 70s+80s jazz fusion! Anyway send me recs if you like, im down to try anything. I make my own music too, mostly digital but im learning guitar!
  • Various video games: Friendship Test, Hollow Knight/Silksong, Look Outside, etc. Not really that interested in games atm but i post about it here and there.
  • In general I am interested in biology, ecology, environmental science, animals, monsters, horror art, robot+cyborg characters.

I try to tag for suggestive posts, body horror, gore, etc. but sometimes i forget, so tread carefully! i think i tag flashing + eyestrain pretty consistently, though.

I use this blog as kind of a diary. I post a lot about little moments in my life and things i find interesting. I have mood swings, don’t take it too seriously if I ever seem dramatic. (Lately im better about not posting that shit though lol).

my sideblogs: @vespidaze (my art), @parasives (wildlife/nature, mostly insects), @i-add-parasites (gimmick blog)

I read The Locked Tomb book series a few years ago, it was only a couple books out then. i didnt love the series enough to read the third book when it came out but ive been thinking a lot about Harrow the Ninth recently. A lot of the writing tricks used there are inspiring the concept for something i am trying to write. maybe i should give it another shot.

its very much a book that knows it is a book and uses the medium to its full advantage

i do get the stereotypical dreams about my teeth falling out but its not in the stereotypical way. they dont really “fall out”. its more like i feel them getting loose, so i pull them out one by one until i have a handful of bloody teeth. And i have nowhere to put them, so i keep carrying them around with me for the rest of the dream. i always drop a few, though.

I emailed for some more info and this was the response from the director:

“The songs are from a variety of albums. From "Murder of the Universe,” every song from the “Han Tyumi” suite will be performed, as well as “Altered Beast IV”. From “Polygondwanaland,” we will be performing “Polygondwanaland,” “Crumbling Castle,” and the “Tetrachromacy/Searching/Fourth Color” song trilogy. From “Nonagon Infinity,” we will be performing “Robot Stop,” “Big Fig Wasp,” and “Mr. Beat.” We will also be performing “Hot Water” from “I’m in your Mind Fuzz,” “All is Known” from “Gumboot Soup,” “Automation” from “KG,” and “Hot Wax” from “Oddments.” If everything goes absolutely perfectly, runtime is about 1:30, so let’s call it 1:50ish allowing for intermission and human error.“

 🛑 Stop Working for Exposure (Mathematically)

I'm an artist and medical student, and I use art to help me pay some bills.

I built a free, helpful tool because to help prevent other talented creatives from undercharging, as I really see this a lot online.

It's a calculator with a built in reality check

  1. Input your survival costs and expenses
  2. True billable hours
  3. Get the rate you actually need to charge to hit a 20% (or whatever you choose) profit margin.

It generates the rate, a template negotiation email + final invoice.

Plan to keep this tool free, ad-free, and open to everyone.

If the "Thriving Rate" calculation empowers you to double your quote on your next job, please consider hitting the "Buy me a coffee"button. It keeps the server running and the code flowing <3
