not to mention the capotain hat was commonly associated with the Puritans, so it giving rise to the hats for wizards & witches is a bit of a funny twist. fashion history is super interesting!

oh that’s awesome to hear! makes me glad i posted :)

i am moving out of my apartment today and will be living out of a hotel for a bit so i am very much looking forward to a weekend of not cleaning :bc_laughing: and they have a pool at the hotel so maybe i can even take a nice dip!

i have been struggling with this too, i am still so frightened all of the time and i know it is part of what prevents me from forming connections with others.

art is helping me a lot, i think, though i don’t fully understand how yet. maybe it is letting me figure out little pieces of things that are in me and express them, or maybe it’s the experimentation and play that i felt like i wasn’t allowed to do earlier in life, or some combination of things. perhaps there is something like that for you.

i really hope you have access to some good support systems. and please do be kind to yourself. our poor brains are so tired. i wish i could offer some better advice but i am stumbling in the darkness myself.

yes please! Honor Among Thieves is a frequent rewatch for me so i would love to see another from these guys. it sounds like the script involves the same party, i was kind of hoping it would be a wholly fresh set of characters but hey, happy with the old faves too for sure.

i quite liked Phoenix Forgotten (2017), it’s a good little found footage type thing.

for appliances, probably a tie between kettle, rice cooker, and air fryer.

for gadgets, my phin filter (it’s a vietnamese coffee brewing tool, cost me like $2 and i have used it every morning for over 5 years!)

yesss, the character designs are amazing!

i only stumbled across Ersatz recently too and it’s exactly my jam so i’m very much looking forward to seeing more from the project!

hell yeah, seconded, Spawn soundtrack is full of bangers!

really a lot of 90’s movies had top-notch soundtracks, i will even go out on a heretical limb and say i liked the soundtrack for The Crow more than the movie.

thank you! i do like the art in old ttrpg books quite a bit, though i have never been a player myself :)

i believe it extends to any month you want it to. even february. spooky valentines day hello!

aggh i don’t open that menu a lot so that’s probably why i didn’t see it :bc_smilomsweat: it makes more sense to me to have it on the profile page but if others find it more intuitive for it to be in the dropdown, at least i know now!

hi again Mia! i have been enjoying the emoji picker improvements very much! :bc_happie:

i had another QoL idea: there doesn’t currently seem to be a simple way to see an overview of one’s scheduled posts, so if you wanted to edit or reschedule a post, you have to trawl through your top-level posts, both scheduled and already public. which can get confusing as there isn’t really a way to distinguish them from each other aside from using templated/dated titles. scheduling a post displays it as published [x time ago] in one’s own profile, just like any other post.

so, it would be handy if there was either a clear indicator like the future publication date, or a separate tab for the scheduled posts to display them in an orderly way, or even a calendar view of them. i think it could be quite useful for both community mods and regular users! but also no pressure! :bunhdheart:

almost always, i don’t have anyone to spend it with and it also isn’t something i have much emotional attachment to, so other than sending out a few “merry xmas” type messages i just treat it as a normal day. if there are pretty lights in the park or a cute market or something around that time of year, i will go along to that (but i also do that alone). i don’t really know much other way to do it tbh, when i was growing up it was always a hugely stressful thing with everyone angry or upset, so i like mine a lot better now :bc_smilomsweat:

for 6, i would love to encourage people to post something they made themselves, no matter what you may think of your skill level!

some comms that might suit for this (but of course browse around for others too!):

• !artshare@lemmy.world
• !inktober@sh.itjust.works
• !art_alchemist_guild@lemmy.today
• !imadethis@lemmy.zip
• !shitty_art_share@piefed.social (not a judgment on anyone here! i post there myself too :bc_smilomsweat:)

nothing terribly new to me this week:

• Velvet May - Unknown Bodies
• Health - R-Type I
• Public Memory - Wuthering Drum

also Gunship’s Empress of the Damned has been stuck in my head for days!

thank you, i am hopeful that if/when i can get into a less precarious living situation (working on it rn!) it will make many things a lot easier and will open up some options for getting my work into people’s hands. there are many irons to go in the fire, it is just a long way to the smithy sometimes isnt it :bc_smilomsweat: learning to draw has saved my life so i shall keep doing it even if nobody likes or understands or wants any of it, but it certainly makes me extra happy when they do! i hope you are also in a better & less frustrating situation nowadays! :bc_flower:

much as i would love to, i don’t have the resources to make prints of anything yet, and probably won’t be able to even think about such things until at least next year (i also have no address to send things to until ??? not sure tbh…next year again prob!). but, it is always very encouraging to hear that people would like a print from me, i really wish i could do this for them :bc_melttears: maybe one day, but it is a very far-away day. sorry to have to say no, i am amidst a lot of life upheaval and don’t have access to the things i would need to make it happen :bc_melttears: i feel really sad about this because it is such a generous & thoughtful thing to offer and it would be very meaningful for me!

whoah, that was so fast, thank you! :bc_happie::agender_heart:
