!! this post is a wip (specifically the images) for about a week until i finish the resource deck; i will update the images and delete this line when the final version is up !!

 
In my "Tellius Environments" resource i've created (link to be coming when it's uploaded), I've added a travel time page.

This whole resource is for fan-creatives where determining the travel time is useful ("how far is it from Melior to Nevassa on pegasus versus on foot".). This specific post covers in detail how I calculated the distances that the characters and unit types (pegasus, beorc, bird/beast laguz, etc) take to get from point A to point B, along with some Tellius specific meta.

I WAS RIGHT )


anyway in non-work news, january's shaping up to be basically cleaning up everything from last year; two comic projects, dealing with the aftermath of grandmother passing away now mom's been stable for a while, this giant 'fe tellius backgrounds project' that's going to be incredibly useful for fan creatives (also selfishly for me to focus on upcoming tellius-related doujin).

i plan to Relax a bit in the second half of january after that ;orz

in cool news: dad's also designing the new house and last night showed me what the plan was for my suite/office :3  i get to have a swanky contemporary office!!! with a big window!! and a closed door!!!!!!!! and a separate kitchenette i can use!!! won't be long ~

one of the funny things about working in my industry is: 

* for context, it's highly regulated + the consumers are sue-trigger-happy, so the more mature corporations tend to have beefier legal departments.

* these days, consumers post videos/images of themselves showing off [$product]. this is on average a good thing, imo, if they're genuinely happy with the product/company in an uncoerced way. while there are a lot of paid influencers, there's also a lot of times this happens organically due to [$industry] and the corporations are usually happy to repost those. organic promotion for us, free views for them, win/win for #capitalism baybee.

EXCEPT

* the hilariously often amount of times the consumers don't use [$product] in the extremely narrowly-defined-way-product-integrity/legal likes.

so as soon as the social media team reposts something even mildly off script we joke we can hear legal wailing and gnashing their teeth from over here, for something as mild as [consumer puts product on a non-approved surface for literally .5 of a second] XD

genuinely getting emotional about the internet because i can be hanging out in this ex /k/ defense shitposting server one day and get a massive amazing book/documentary recommendation list about iran's history from a dude living there (he's been giving us updates about stuff there), after a chat with him led us both that ways.

and, just. man.

i know the internet's horribly broken these days, but....

....this!!! this is what i always loved about it. god.

slipping into another (irreverent) world, talking with folks who have no idea a thirty-something hag graphic designer is on the other side and who frankly doesn't care about who's on the other side, just that the thirst for authentic curiosity is there.

the most swole cardinal i've ever seen in my life (this mf is the size of a small chicken) is one territorial bastard and keeps attacking the glass which sounds distantly like the electrical power fluctuating so i have to keep getting up to scare him away lol

i ain't even mad

so i'm not really into making faceclaims / the whole fandom around voice actors since (a) i play every game on mute for a mix of privacy reasons and hearing-isn't-a-priority, and (b) i get weirded out over fandom being obsessively weird about real people as actors. (i know most people are fine and it's only a few outliers who get into stalker territory but idk i'm old school, i try not to cross those lines. i'm fine with RPF in theory if those lines aren't crossed but fandom's always been 2D for me?).

the problem is, okay, i'm not into critical role either. (i did watch the first half of s2 but lost interest when molly "left") 

but the problem is matt mercer is becoming distractingly pretty as he ages (lol) and unfortunately the absolute dead ringer for a theoretical faceclaim zihark (considering i've never seen anyone else come remotely close tbh).

and tumblr giffers are really good at showing that.......

and every time i see one of those gifsets i can feel every brain cell of mine immediately turn around with a "!!!" to a degree i have to tell my fucking brain 'sit down, siiiiiiit. don't. be. weird. don't be weird.'

(sorry i have basic taste lol, i will bear this cross. )

"Krad's Art Dump 2.0" is here with all of my art from the past five years minus ~100 pieces of NDA artwork.  I started this gift last decade as a way to give back to the old internet that mentored me, and it ended up a very poignant way to archive my work.

Before you download, please be aware there are many NSFW/R18 pieces as well as potentially disturbing artwork. You are welcome to save/delete whatever you want, all I ask is you do not reshare, or use it for AI training*.

"Gilles Deleuze proposed in the 1990s that discipline, formerly the dominant mode of power in Western societies, had been modified and to some degree overtaken by a logic of “control” that worked not by confinement or restriction of movement, but by the regulation of continuous, mobile flows— of capital, information, bodies, and affects. Unlike the punitive subjection of discipline, control does not require a subject as such; nor does it seek to produce or manage one. As we have seen, casino design follows what one leading firm calls the “immersion paradigm,” holding players in a desubjectified state of uninterrupted motion so as to galvanize, channel, and profit from what the academic consultants quoted earlier called “experiential affect.” If, as philosophers and anthropologists of affect contend, contemporary capitalism is distinguished by strategic attempts to mobilize and derive value from consumers’ affective capacities, then commercial casino design would appear to be a case in point."
