Sometimes I wonder what the point of the small doodles that I make are...because it's always the same thing, an eyeball, an apple, and the dead roots of a tree. For some reason I'm in the habit of all three and I just don't get it. It's not consciously done either, it's just done when I'm being absentminded while listening to something. If I had put effort into them it'd be different, but...I just don't get WHY I do it, and it really makes me self conscious about showing anyone any of the notebooks that I have. I know it's a dumb little thing, but like...idk.

Does anyone else have an issue like this? Or is it just me?

Right now I'm reading Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory: Stories by Raphael Bob-Waksberg because of my current adoration of his content (Tuca and Bertie, Bojack Horseman).

My current favorites are; the Mara Dyer Trilogy by Michelle Hodkin (I just...can't get into Noah's book, it bores me, Mara was definitely the better main character!), and the Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J Maas. One book that recently got a sequel that I'm reading at the moment is; The Two Princesses of Bamarre. But that's also my "I'm in a really upset mood and need to be away from people" book, and one of the few physical books that I own (everything else is epub or mobi format for my kindle or phone!)

Because depression is literally my constant state of being, my most watched shows are The Office, Parks and Rec, Master of None, Community, Brooklyn 99, and Bojack Horseman. Lately as strange as it is, Bojack has kind of been helping me to feel a bit better about life, not because of the horrible way that Bojack is as a character, but because Princess Carolyn is really inspirational. She takes so much crap in her life and still finds a way to knock it all back even when she's down in the dirt. I honestly love it and her so much.

At this moment though, I'm watching The Office again. I just wanna get my fill in before I have to beg someone to let me use their NBC account xD

I've got a stupid Spanish playlist going, but right now I've got Como La Flor by Selena on, after this I'm gonna add it to my neverending spanish loop music of mariachi stuff, and of course Despacito and all the other super catchy spanish music that came out in the past 4 years because i'm trash.

idk if you're still looking for tips, but I have a shitload of psds and an action set that might help.

I personally think that sharpening an image once or twice depending on the resolution of it is a good start, then tampering around with the levels, curves, and exposure is a great place to start (though in the Layer section, not the Image section!) I know that my icons/hovers on here aren't quite up to par because I didn't put much effort into them, but I can help you by sending some psds your way if you would like them! Just send me a dm on here!

All of my favorite foods are dependent on my moods...so let's get into it!

Fishy Mood: I genuinely don't like seafood or fish in general, rarely if I'm in the mood I'll get sushi, but the texture tends to freak me out, but if I'm in a fishy mood I will 100% get miso soup and just...order 2-4 bowls of it to satiate my needs.

Sweet Mood: Cake. 100% doesn't matter what kind as long as it's not carrot cake. I just...effing love cake so much.
Sweet/Bitter: Tiramisu.
Sweet/Tangy: Starburst or fruit roll up blunts (gushers in the middle of a fruit roll up that's been rolled up, and wrapped up with a fruit by the foot)
Sweet/Wet: Raspberry sorbet (for semisolid), Mango/Strawberry/Banana smoothie.

General: Pasta in a cream based sauce. I generally don't like red sauces that much, but pasta is also a staple food for me at home.

Crunchy: Smartfood brand popcorn (original flavor), Popcorn Indiana brand popcorn in it's Peanut Butter Chocolate flavor, Chicken in a Biscuit crackers.

Meats: Steaks and chickens.

Also I'd like to add, I know my diet seems horrifying from this, but this isn't actually my diet! It's just my favorites, which are kinda rarely had (aside from the mango/strawberry/banana smoothie, which I highly suggest because it's just frozen mangoes, strawberries, and a ripe banana blended together with some sort of lubricant {which can be either juice or water depending on your preference!})

Ahahaha so this one is a funny one.
My display name on here is actually a reference to my teenage internet moniker. I absolutely detest that name now, but back then it was all the rage to me. It had to do with Carrion flowers in general, and as I grew up, I became fascinated with stapelias and rafflesias, as well as the nemexia genus of carrion flowers. They were just so friggin cool to me that I absolutely felt the need to make one of them my name on here. It was between Rafflesia and Nemexia, but ultimately I chose rafflesia because I figured it would be easier to get photos of vileplume and rafflesia flowers than general nemexia ones, because rafflesias are more well known.

Also just to say it before anybody asks me, no I will not tell you my original teenage name, there are still some pieces of fanfiction up that I can't delete because I lost all of my old emails from when I was 13/14. As someone in their late 20's I think it's fair to want that stuff hidden from my life!

shout out to the kids with emotionally abusive parents who don't fucking realize how they've completely fucked up their kids, thus leaving it to the child to go out of their way and recondition themselves once they realize that This Isn't How You Are Supposed To Act If You Want To Function
I'd also like to add something to this shoutout; Shoutout to the friends of those who have to recondition themselves, for helping them to realize that they are indeed better than what they've been raised to believe they are. #bless
