heya, it's ari. thanks for dropping by, even if it's obligatorily for a comment. i don't mind; a contributor is a contributor, regardless of intention.
the last week or two consisted of the wild beginnings of 3d animation in maya, also known as "falling asleep during demos; the sleep-in-ing". i have a firm belief that turning the lights off doesn't help. didn't licata herself along with the safety manual suggest keeping lights on when working with screens to avoid straining your eyes? do we avoid safety precautions more than we should here? along with the occasional backward-chair-sit and pencil fights between dwonnathan and me, i don't see why turning the lights off is a good idea. i honest-to-god thought the helmet tutorial was fairly simple but i didn't know what i was in for with what was to come. dumb egg faces and apples and imaginary lines created from extruding more than needed. what is this, homestuck? are we going to be extruding cruxite dowels to create the ultimate blue apple artifact to enter the medium? will a countdown initiate before our eyes forcing us to toss our nanna's ashes into a ghostly kernelsprite along with whatever crap you've got on hand, perchance similar to a jester plush? although my rambling intensifies, my points remain. may the darkness of the demos have mercy on my spirit in the few coming weeks.
i'd love learning how to at least model our characters, even if we can't do anything aside from that due to brevity and time. maya has proven to be the most disengaging platform thus far, but i can manage for the class competition, whatever it is. let us pray i'm not sacrificed to any gods in the process. it's likely i'm overexaggerating here.
some things that made me happy during the week; getting a chance to bond more with my teachers through a quid-pro-quo situation relating to art along with the upcoming auditions for my school's production of "grease!" i've come to terms with the fact that i'd have to play a male role to get a lead or secondary, and that's okay. transitioning takes time and i have to trust in myself that i'll become an alto given the due time. i've also gotten into "hamilton" more and i'm enamored by the story and characters! the soundtrack is godly and i have lin manuel miranda to thank for the glorious ear-gold. i was also informed recently that i'd be getting actual chest molds to help my transition, along with my parents and me starting the search for an endocrinologist, which made me quite the happy fellow. my mom also informed me of how some of her coworkers saw me as "her daughter" when shown our family's christmas cards. i'm glad that the shreds of femininity i have shone bright. hopefully, they'll be more prominent in the upcoming years in both my physicality and character.
some things that frustrated me were the ramifications of my late-night endeavors. my mom explained that since i go into rem sleep after 40 minutes, my body takes a loooooong time to wake up, persay. i usually get cranky getting woken up after an hour, but the same circumstance after pulling a hefty all-nighter was disastrous. imagine a 16 year old ball of rage trying to reason with their parents to let them rest. once i got into my room it was game over, y'all.
thanks for coming back, i appreciate you <3
the link of interest this week is about the development of kingdom hearts iii and leaks from the community. someone got a hold of a physical copy illegally and distributed them, and now nomura responds asking that you stray from spoilers and remain on watch. some people just can't wait a month and a half, huh?
